When I first came across Friendship is Magic, I believe it was around the time where season 3 was near its end. I saw two videos on Youtube, one containing the entire first season, the other held the entire second season.
Out of boredom, I decided to watch. I found myself enjoying the episodes, but didn't watch them all. I revisited the series not so long after and I began to love it. Characters, songs, stories, everything.
My biggest regret is not taking part in the fandom. The cons, fan art, meeting actors and actresses, collaboration. A few stories I wrote here and there, but none of them ever had my full devotion. Though I plan to work on that.
In the end, with the show's finale, I guess I wanted to write a sort of farewell plus a thank you to the characters of the show.
I hope you enjoy.
