“Sleep is the little death,” said the alicorn as she scowled into her half-empty mug. “I reject it as I await the inevitable destruction of my reality.”

Well I reject your depressing reality and substitute my own.

I thought fear was the little death, aka the mind killer. :twilightsmile:

"Did you know that some of that light traveled for millions of years to get here, only to be stopped on its path by this stupid crust of a planet? Have you ever really realized that those stars could very well be dead right now, and nopony will know until long after we’re gone?” deadpanned the alicorn.

This trope always annoys me. Stars millions of light years away are too distant to be seen. The most distant star that can be seen with the naked eye is some 4000 light years away. Admittedly it's a short-lived supergiant, but even a "short lived" star lasts for several million years, so the odds of it having died in the last 4000 years are fairly low.
