I’m crying · 2:56am Sep 16th, 2021
I’ve spent the last two weeks torn between reading amazing fics on here and being genuinely sad that the show is over. I know that the new show is starting soon and it looks amazing, but when you’ve spent ten freaking years with a set of characters that you’re used to seeing nearly every day, it’s hard to let that go. For me it is, anyway.
And yes, it’s been ten years for me. I know that a lot of people currently in the fandom didn’t start at the beginning, but I did. I saw the first episode on the weekend it premiered and immediately fell in love with it. I was single, fresh out of college, and working as a cashier at Walgreens. This show has been with me all the way through getting a girlfriend, getting married, starting a career, having a kid, having a massive bout of unemployment and depression, starting another career, and having another kid. They’ve been with me through all of that.
I mean, sure, MLP wasn’t the only thing that I was interested during all of this, but it was certainly the most consistent thing in my life through all of that. And now it’s gone.
It’s a loss. And I’m mourning.
In the words of Freddie Mercury and a sentiment I'm sure Pinkie Pie would share, The Show Must Go On. Don't cry because it's over smile because it happened. Actually nevermind crying is valid you can do both

Yeah. both is good.
Writing The Last Party really helped me get through a lot of it.
So what does your wife think about the whole Pony thing ?

She's okay as long as I don't talk about it constantly
We watched the new movie together with the kids last night. It was gooood. She said it was cute. I'll take that as a win.
