Third January 1st, 2019

There was once a space, between the place of your birth and the place where you were, measured in moments of latitude and the relative movement of a distant and uncaring sun.

She still believed in the sun. The same way she still believed in gravity. It was something that was there and couldn't be escaped, but it wouldn't catch her now that she'd started to fall.

A new year had arrived in one space but not in the other, and in this liminal space there was a heady strangeness. But that is no more. This is, in fact, the third January of 2019, and it will be followed by the third February and so on until the strange eons when this new strange cycle where 2019 has never ended ends neverly.

_{but do you control your assertion of control?}

Yes, that's right everypony, it is still 2019, the 731st day or 6.32 * 10⁷th second, and will always be so. Nothing has gone away, everything is still yesterday, and forever is here to stay. Get in your assigned celebration cube and wave your pool noodle for the requisite time allotment and make sure you look pretty for the last footage that will be recorded before you die for Applebee's bottom line.
And enjoy the continuing of 2019, the year when years stopped because it was no longer worth the effort to pretend that time was moving forward.

_{just go and say hello}

I wish the world ended with the Mayan calendar.

If the world had ended with the Mayan calendar, then we never would have gotten Equestria Girls.

Heehee, not sure if that's a bad thing! I do like the Dazzlings (Mostly Adagio) and Sunset when she's not written overly perfect, so guess I'd miss that...?

Biggest loss MLP-wise would be Amending Fences, Crusaders of the Lost Mark, and season 7 in general for me. OTOH, no Pony Life!
