Imagine a pony had their cutie mark forcibly taken from them, slowly and painfully ripped off their flanks.
And then they had to watch as it was burned, ripped apart, and shattered while the people around them were celebrating and playing cheerful music.
Another pony may be able to sympathize with what they went through – but now imagine they don't live in a pony-society. They're surrounded by, say, Griffons, who do not understand what cutie marks mean.
"Oh, you lost your little flank tattoo thingy? Bummer I guess. Just get a new one."
"Oh, your butt-mark is gone? Boo-hoo. Get over it."
...How do you even explain something like that to somebody else?
How do you even explain the importance of what was taken from you? How do you even explain the sheer magnitude of impact such an event left on you?
How do you even find words to explain something like that?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Watching the final episode was... viscerally horrifying.
Seeing Twilight's friends like that and knowing instantly how the fandom would interpret it had about the same emotional impact as if the show had ended with Twilight standing at her friends' deathbeds, all while cheerful music played and the show tried to convince me that "this is fine! They led good lives, but it's over now. The End. Look! Here's the next generation, you're supposed to care about them now instead."
It... completely overshadowed anything "positive" the finale tried to do, destroying it entirely
I loved "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". It was an amazing show with great, funny writing, fleshed-out characters, and big, emotional moments.
...But the TV show was just the icing on the cake, not the main course.
We were not just "along for the ride".
The show may have given us the setting – but we made this world come alive in a way no television show ever could have on its own.
I don't think I have to explain why literature didn't vanish the moment film was invented — the two mediums have different means of telling a story, and can complement each other.
We didn't have to limit our stories to fit into a 22 minute window, nor to match a TV-Y rating, nor were we restricted by an animation budget or the demands of a marketing team. We can tell a "Lord of the Rings", a "Star Wars", a "Through the Well of Pirene", a "Voice Among the Strangers", a "Rise", a "Project: Sunflower", or a "Friendship Is Optimal: Caelum Est Conterrens".
We built on the foundation provided by the show, and on each other's ideas, all of us contributing to form something larger than the individual stories told — more than one artist's work, more than one writer's story, all referencing and expanding upon and building on one another. More than a sum of their parts.
We took a so-called "cartoon for little girls" and created a fantasy realm with expansive world-building, inhabited by complex characters that feel alive.
We made these fictional cartoon horses feel like thinking, feeling people.
...And if you're one of those people thinking "Oh, but it's just fanfiction, they're probably all writing about ponies kissing and having sex and whatnot", you really need to click here, and search for the phrase "I know to an outsider it must seem ridiculous to hold fanfiction in such high regard". It'll be illuminating.
One well-written, commercially released book or film does not a universe make. But a hundred thousand novels written by fans out of passion will.
Everything we'd built. Everything we were going to still make. Every idea we'd ever had in 9 years —
all suddenly destroyed, in under half an hour, for no reason.

‟ Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land. To do this, the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn; the younger brought out the moon to begin the night.
...Lol, jk, not anymore, now a pocket watch can do their job ” 🤪
Celestia and Luna don't deserve to be... diminished and trivialized like this.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Starlight Glimmer's reformation — one of the main characters for four seasons! — had about 10 minutes of buildup. Sunset Shimmer got all of 2 seconds from crawling out of that crater to a teary-eyed "I'm sorry!" The only villain in the entire show one could argue got more than one episode of buildup was Discord — and that is only because he reformed twice.
Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek got six months. They are the only villains who almost reformed each other, by themselves, without outside help.
We all know the pattern. We all knew what would happen.
For six months, we wrote stories and drew fan art of this hilariously dysfunctional group of friends. Some even started seeing them as a little family.
They made us care about them.
I was looking forward to all the slice-of-life shenanigans the trio would get up to in our stories and fan content after the show was over.
...Those stories didn't happen.
The entire season was building up to a reformation... that suddenly didn't happen.
And out of all of them, Cozy Glow may be the most obvious victim... but Chrysalis is the most tragic. The show had made it blatantly obvious that, despite her denial, Chrysalis desperately needed friends... She needed help. Instead she was turned to stone.
( If you don't understand, click here and search for the key phrase "Chrysalis's first appearance in the season 2 finale inspired two... VERY different interpretations of the character" )
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
...but to understand the finale's most ... fundamental offense, consider this brief story scenario:
Rainbow Dash and Applejack are in love.
But then her duties as a Wonderbolt demand Dash to move to Cloudsdale, away from AJ.
Rainbow Dash is literally the Element of Loyalty! She'd hardly abandon her marefriend! ...right??
Then again, Cloudsdale isn't that far, and Rainbow Dash is the fastest pegasus alive — she could just fly there and back in, like, 10 minutes flat, no big deal.
And even if that were not so, surely, Twilight or Starlight or Starswirl or Discord or Celestia or Luna could help them out somehow, of course!
And so 20 years pass.
Rainbow Dash and Applejack are still in love. Their love is strong! Truly a thing for the ages!
They see each other once a month or so to keep in touch.
"Our love grows!" ♫
Yeah, no. If that were true, the future would not look like that — it would look better than that. Especially considering the myriad of obvious solutions to their problem in a world of magic.
Show does not match Tell.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Twilight already had a castle in Ponyville. A castle given to her by the Tree of Harmony, with thrones for each of her friends. If ever she were to rule Equestria, it'd be from here.
Nothing in the entire show was ever building up to Twilight leaving. The only hint we got was one line of dialogue, a month before the finale, delivered with a casual smile.
"Well, obviously they won't do that. There'll be a big drama and then they'll find a solution."
And then, suddenly, they didn't.
Twilight belongs in Ponyville. Twilight belongs with her friends.
It's what we'd been told for 9 years about who Twilight Sparkle is.
For 9 years, we'd built on that premise.
Twilight leaving Ponyville was —— L I T E R A L L Y —— UNTHINKABLE.
...or something along those lines.
"We meet up once a month, to keep in touch"
Even if Twilight had to leave, there would have been so many obvious better solutions than that:
- We were shown that Twilight can now literally teleport from Canterlot straight to Ponyville, with seven passengers.
- Fluttershy can just ask Discord for a portal straight to the throne room and take the gang over for tea.
- If Starswirl the Bearded can make a permanent gateway to an entirely separate universe (EQG's magic mirror), I'm sure he can manage to build one for convenient two-way instant-travel between Ponyville and Canterlot Castle as simple as walking through a door, for anypony.
- Dream sharing exists. Luna can canonically take ponies into others' dreams. I'm sure she'd be happy to let Twilight visit her friends when the day's work is done and they're asleep. Or is Twilight too busy, even in her dreams?
- Twilight knows of the concept of telephones and video calls from her visits to the human world, so it's something she might want to imitate — which would even benefit others. Both Chrysalis and the Storm King had separate magical video call artifacts, as seen in the show. Not the best solution, but still better than "meet up once a month" to "keep in touch".
- . . . the list goes on.
Obviously, Twilight would want to be with her friends as much as possible, and, equally obviously, given all the options available, Twilight could see her friends practically every single day — or at least close enough.
It'd almost be as if Twilight had never left.
...Yet the episode insists that, in 20 years' time, somehow none of those solutions were ever even used. Why?
"The Mane 6's friendship will last, despite all obstacles."
...Well, duh. No one had ever questioned that for 9 years – until the final episode suddenly brought it into question.
Twilight and her friends are the Chosen Bearers of Harmony itself, the wielders of the Magic of Friendship. Twilight is literally the alicorn-princess (read: young demi-goddess) of the very concept of Friendship.
...This does not equate to "High School students that moved states try to keep in touch". It just simply doesn't. The mere comparison is an insult to everything their friendship meant.
And this was supposed to demonstrate how "strong" their friendship was?
No.
This was Hasbro saying "Their friendship does NOT rate a 10,000,000 out of 10."
"The scale only goes to 10. They're not that special."
"Their friendship WASN'T as strong as you'd always thought it was."
Show does not match Tell.
‟ Rarity, I will never forget you. ” — Twilight Sparkle, Friendship is Forever #1
...How was that suddenly even on the table in the first place?!
"Friendships fade." "We see each once a month or so. To keep in touch."
...Were we supposed to be relieved that "at least" their friendship didn't outright die?
"Oh, it's not so bad. She can still visit. Sometimes."
Yeah. At least "After her accident, Rainbow Dash can still participate in the Paralympics! She might even win a gold medal!" Because that's suddenly considered an "improvement" now.
The Twilight Sparkle I knew for 8 years would never accept this.
Seeing Twilight "all grown up" should've been something beautiful.
Instead, they managed to twist this into a mockery.
I don't know who that pony is
But it is not Twilight Sparkle.
[edited — original image by badumsquish]
This single episode destroyed all sense of immersion, character motivation, and believability.
They bent Twilight Sparkle over backwards – until she broke.
Just to make her fit the "Moral"
a badly contrived moral that made so little sense in this situation it disproved its own lesson
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Seeing them smile, in general, even in old pictures, now feels wrong, like a false facade. It feels fake, it feels disingenuous, it feels like a lie.
Now it just reminds me of everything that was destroyed.
"But they gave us AppleDash, FlutterCord, CheesePie, 'big alicorn Twilight', and a 'multicultural Equestria'!"
No. They didn't.
We'd already had these things. We'd made them ourselves.
Sure, they hadn't been canon – but they didn't need to be. We had years to flesh them out so thoroughly them "being canon or not" no longer made a difference — with the added benefit that there was more variety than just "one singular possible future", each of them fleshed out and fully realized by the amalgamate works of thousands of writers and artists!
Nearly everything the final episode "gave" us were things we'd already had – but what it took away were things we'd taken for granted for 9 years, and everything we'd ever made was built on that foundation.
They stole their future from us, stole our ability to give them a better future than that.
Celestia and Luna don't deserve to be... diminished and trivialized like this. Chrysalis, Cozy, and Tirek don't deserve to be trapped in stone. Twilight doesn't deserve to be torn from her home, her life, and her friends, only rarely allowed the "privilege" to occasionally "keep in touch". Her friends don't deserve to die.
They deserve better than that. They all do. And we had already given them that. We'd been giving them that for nine years. Hasbro took that away from them, from us.
The "One True Future" they forced on us is so many steps down from what we, the community, had already built collectively over the course of nearly a full decade, that, by comparison, their "Amazing Happy Future" is... horrifying.
In case you don't get it:
It's our stories, our fan content, that make this world come to life in a way the TV show never could on its own. I loved this show, yes, but we can do things the show could not do.
For context: To be honest, when in the season six finale, Thorax reformed the entire changeling hive, it was actually kind of a downer ending for me.
I would've loved to keep reading hundreds more stories and comics with different interpretations of the changelings' reformation, for many more years — rather than to have the show just resolve all of it, once, in a 40 minute spectacle.
And yes — skipping a more detailed explanation — it really was one OR the other.
When Hasbro just... "resolved" the changelings' entire arc in one episode — to quote myself from back then — "It felt like Hasbro took away one of our favorite toys".
But that was still okay.
The final episode was different.
Because it took away everything.
all the stories that could've been
The show didn't need to end with Twilight's friends all becoming alicorns, Rarity and Spike getting married, Discord and Fluttershy having foals, etc, etc, whatever.
It just needed to not destroy these possibilities so the fandom could keep exploring them.
The final episode polarized everything, all at once.
Accepting ANY aspect of the final episode would mean giving up on EVERYTHING that preceded it.
. . . I'm sorry, Li'l Cheese. I like you. You take very well after your mother, you're the only bright spark in this entire nightmare.
But not even you can make up for this.
It's our stories that make these characters feel real, be they illustrated, animated, or written.
I'll never be able to read about Li'l Cheese, because of everything else that surrounds him.
He'll never feel real to me.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
The show had weaker episodes from time to time. That was fine — they didn't have lasting consequences.
This episode was different.
"It's 20 years later. This is The Future. This is what happened. These are all the things that didn't happen and now never can. The future is decided, you don't get to choose. Their days of adventure are over. Their story ends here. This is all they'll ever achieve, this as far as they get, and no further than that. You DON'T get to write their story anymore — and they're all going to die. Move over, old mares, your time is up — here comes the next generation. THE. END."
This single episode was the complete and total ANTITHESIS to everything "Pony" ever was.
This single episode UN-DID the entire show. It unraveled the characters and their motivations. It UN-MADE Equestria.
This single episode completely destroyed the illusion of Equestria as a meaningful place; a living, breathing, magical world inhabited by feeling, thinking people.
It destroyed everything we, collectively as a community, had worked so hard to build for almost a decade
Just to tell a badly contrived moral for 22 minutes
In the eight years I'd been a Brony, in the eight years I'd contributed to building this world, I'd always assumed that "When the show ends, that'll be a sad day, but I'll just brony on. Doesn't matter. It'll just be like a long hiatus, those never even bothered me."
Nothing in those 8 years ever prepared me for the show to end so disastrously, horrifically and cruel that it'd destroy its own entire universe on the way out!!
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Watching the finale of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" was so completely horrifying in so many different ways SIMULTANEOUSLY that it created an actual, real-life trauma. 
I wish I was exaggerating. I'm not.
I've seen a magical fantasy world of cute cartoon characters, a genuine "safe place", get suddenly and violently ripped to shreds from the inside out — all, while everyone had a SMILE plastered over their face like this was FINE, everyone BENT OVER BACKWARDS UNTIL THEY BROKE just to make them "comply" with an arbitrary "Moral".
And this was NOT some black humor parody, nor a mere grim tale in the same setting you can enjoy for its own sake but then ultimately just walk away from after you've read it, no.
The ACTUAL "safe place" itself, the ORIGINAL source material that influences its derivative fanworks — the foundation on which everything was built.
...Seeing something like a cute, innocent, cheerful happy cartoon world populated by talking puppies or whatever doesn't make me feel "relaxed" anymore.
Now it makes my mind put up defenses, it makes me feel on edge, because I've been hurt by something like it before.
. . . hardly the only problem this caused for me, and that's putting it mildly
But you know what made everything even worse?
The way the fandom reacted.
People cheered.
People were cheering as Equestria was ripped apart at its very foundation.
People were cheering as Equestria was deconstructed, Granny Smith was murdered, Twilight was torn from her home and her friends, as Twilight was mentally rewritten to fit the "Moral of the Week", and her friends were sentenced to death.
But they're all smiling and singing a happy song. "It's a happy ending".
"Let's make fan content about this 'happy' outcome!"
"Oh, you must be a toxic fan who sent hate mail to the staff and ranted at everybody in the comments"
No.
What was I supposed to even say when I was hurting so badly I couldn't even put my thoughts into words?
when I knew no one else would understand me?
I... I was too scared people would just make fun of me for "whining about a TV show"
So I just said nothing
for over four and a half years
you have no idea how hard that was
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
And then... an idea spread throughout the fandom that somehow made everything even worse.
For 9 years, whenever you read a fan-written story or a comic set centuries in the future, there was a good chance Twilight's friends were actually still around somehow.
It used to be an even 50-50 split for "They're all going to die" / "Twilight's friends become immortal".
After the finale, this became 99-1 in favor of them dying.
World-building in the worst way
Immortality is about "quality of life". It's the difference between "doomed to eternal torment" and "enjoying eternal life and youth, with all the time in the world to achieve great things".
Why would you want Twilight's friends getting to live, to not die, for Twilight and her friends to experience life together for longer to be "a fate worse than death"?!
Why would you want our little ponies to suffer?!
...I just couldn't take it anymore.
I just couldn't take it what this fandom was doing
I couldn't handle the twisted farcical version of Equestria this episode inspired in the community anymore
I have no idea what has been going on in this fandom, or its canon, since around March/June 2020.
I'm too scared to find out what else Hasbro destroyed, and what the fandom did — or didn't do while I was gone.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Writing stories set in "alternate universes" where the finale never happened, without resolving this issue first — it... it feels like abandoning our little ponies to their fate.
And if you don't understand that, click here, the keywords are "Death is BAD!" and "Well OBVIOUSLY Pinkie shouldn't outlive her son and her husband, DUH!"
But I'll give you a hint.
The correct solution isn't "Let's kill them all".
Not everyone can become an alicorn. That doesn't make for a believable, satisfying narrative.
That doesn't mean there aren't other solutions.
It's a world of magic. Use it.
Use it to make a better future. An actual happy future.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
They stole their entire future from us.
The One True Future is a prison. We need to escape it.
Not ignored by our fan content, but appended to.
"Immortality" isn't an end-point, isn't another "and then they all become alicorns, The End". It's a starting point.
It's a pre-requisite to build on to fix the mess Hasbro left us with; the only way to even reclaim the abstract concept of a "future". To continue their story and break free from the restrictions the final episode imposed on us.
Twilight's friends becoming alicorns would solve multiple problems (besides the obvious);
Equestria does not need six alicorns on the throne simultaneously. No need for them to all be "stuck in a golden cage" at all times like Celestia and Luna apparently were. (Maybe rule on a rotation schedule? After some time to adjust, of course)
More alicorns = shared responsibilities. Let Twilight finally get more time off, spend more time with her friends again, become part of Ponyville's daily life again with all its shenanigans, even go on adventures with her friends once more, new friendship lessons to be learned and taught.
Let their adventures continue. Let their story continue.
And if you're already shaking up the Status Quo — let Celestia and Luna come out of retirement, to do something meaningful again worthy of the Princesses of Sun and Moon.
And who said that it took 20 years for Chrysalis, Cozy Glow and Tirek to get their second chance? The final episode never said that, people just kept assuming it did. It only took Discord about a year to get his — let them have their Happily Ever After.
( for a full list, click here and here, or search for the sentences "Twilight's reaction when her friends finally became alicorns" and "Immortality is just the beginning" )
Hasbro dictated to us "This is what happened, and these are all the things that didn't happen. This is what the Future looks like, this is as far as they got, this is all they ever will achieve, this is the maximum limit for their happiness."
It is now up to us to say: "And this is what happens after that, and that isn't where their story ends. Their days of adventure aren't done. They aren't stuck in their ways. Their lives can still improve. These are all the things can still happen after all, all the possibilities yet to be explored, all the stories yet to be told."
"Alicorn Rainbow Dash enthusiastically teaches alicorn Applejack how to fly" ;
"Little Cheese is now technically a prince, adorableness ensues; Blueblood Junior gets very confused." ;
"It's Fluttershy's turn to rule Equestria this week. Discord tries to help" ;
"Teenage Cozy Glow tries to hit the dating scene. Chrysalis is an overprotective mother who can shapeshift and sense emotions." ;
"Pinkie and her husband, son, and their many, many descendants celebrate their Forever-versary centuries in the future" ;
etcetera, etcetera
Their adventure continues. The story goes on. The future beyond this point is not yet written. No more "One True Future" with no alternatives — the future is full of potential, once more.
In the past, we wrote plenty of stories where Twilight's friends became alicorns. That wasn't at the end of the story. It was at the beginning.
Those stories were about what happened next, and all the shenanigans that ensued — juggling newfound alicorn-powers, everyday life, and the prospect of ruling the kingdom.
Good old "slice of life adventures", without the whole "immortality blues" drama.
Let's do that again.
Make enough fan content about something, and it becomes widely accepted as "canon".
Lyra's obsession with humans was never in the show, it is her most defining trait all the same.
Derpy going on adventures through time and space with the Doctor isn't something that the television series could show — yet you can find hundreds of stories, comics, radio plays, and animations about it.
Bat ponies were never even acknowledged as being a separate pony tribe. ...Did that stop us?
...It doesn't even matter that not every single one of those stories took place in the exact same universe — each story contributed to form a shared set of ideas, to inspire more.
This is a fictional world of magic. We, collectively as a community, can make GOOD things happen instead of BAD things.
( And if you want to write stories set "in the past" or in alternate timelines, then may I provide a suggestion that DOESN'T feel like abandoning them to their predetermined fate — a "Dual-timeline continuity". )
but
one or two stories or comics won't be enough to fix this
It's not enough to say "Twilight's friends become alicorns, The End."
it won't be enough — if it doesn't inspire others to create more.
It would have to be a fandom movement.
It used to be an even 50-50 split if Twilight's friends were going to live or die, with all the fan content that inspired
Let us at least bring the fandom consensus closer to that again
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Otherwise...
"AppleDash", "FlutterCord", "CheesePie", "Big Alicorn Twilight"...
All these things should've been beautiful. They used to be beautiful back when we had done them — the way we'd already been doing them for years.
And Li'l Cheese...
I'd love to be able to enjoy those things, and any fan content derived from them. But I can't.
I can't forget. I can't ignore it. I can't unsee it.
I cannot see a "Happy Future" in the final episode. Not with everything it took away. Not with all the horror it implied.
All I can see... is a HORRIFYING future with a CHEERFUL FACADE painted over it. 
I desperately need catharsis.
I need catharsis for watching our Equestria melt in acid, for watching their entire future stolen from us, for watching their Happily Ever After get twisted into a farce, for watching Twilight Sparkle get mentally rewritten and brainwashed to smile along just "to fit the Moral of the Week", for watching her get torn from her life, her home, her friends, only rarely be allowed to see them, and her friends getting sentenced to death after they were all torn apart, both from each other and from the inside out.
Can they please, through our fan content, finally have a TRUE happy future, after 20 years of waiting for it?
can they finally have it back, after Hasbro took it away from them?
please?
Otherwise, for me, seeing them smile... even in old pictures... will always be like watching a Pinkie Pie party with a time bomb under the table
it doesn't matter how much they're laughing or singing, or how many shiny new balloons you bring to the party
without solving this issue first
there is nothing enjoyable about any of this
it's just painful
. . . The only reason I'd ever even wanted Hasbro to make a "Generation 5" was to keep our fandom going, and by proxy give us a new source of inspiration for our "Friendship is Magic" fan content — to keep our Equestria alive.
To keep the world we'd built alive.
That was the only reason why.
This was never about the television show.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
this isn't even just about Pony anymore at this point
everything else has just... piled on top of that and intertwined with it
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
...The above text is the closest I can get to a "summary". But it doesn't... truly do the situation justice, doesn't really explain properly why Pony is so important to me, how it became this important to me completely naturally over the course of 8 years, or why the finale affected me the way it did, in a way no other franchise ever has.
Nor what I'd want... what I'd need to see the fandom do about it for this to become "okay" again
I'd really rather wish you'd read the full text for a complete picture.
...and if you're still thinking "You're overreacting, it can't be that bad" ————— oh god, you have no idea just how much worse than this is actually is
how do you explain to someone that an episode of a children's cartoon managed to genuinely traumatize you so badly it completely disrupted your entire life and crippled your ability to deal with your depression to the point you can barely even function in everyday life? how to you explain that to anyone?? How do you explain to others why you even care so much or why it affected you the way it did? You know how dumb this sounds. you know nobody will understand you. you know nobody will take you seriously. how do you talk to people about your trauma when the reason for it sounds completely ridiculous????
I know it's a long text, but...

I ———
I'm sorry, I didn't dare to look at what reaction the previous blog got yet
or how many people even saw it
or didn't see it
I'm too scared to look
...did you know you can ad-block the notification bar, the favourites-bar, and, in the blog management overview, even ad-block the "comments-/view count" separately from the rest of the information there? quite useful, that.
And before anybody says anything, the only reason a "short version" could even exist at all was because most of the long version already did when I made it where I had already organized my thoughts enough to be able to assemble this, as well as already having made most of the pictures too
that wasn't an option with everything just stuck in my head without structure
And the second "only" reason a "short version" like this can exist — is because it can link to the full text. Because a "short version" like this could never truly explain my situation, would never allow me to get it all out of my head
but if only I'd had the right words right at the start of all this
so much pain for so long
if only I'd been able to scream right at the start
but there was just too much
please share this with as many people in the ponyfic writing community as you can — specifically the ponyfic writing community, I don't know how the rest of the fandom would react, let alone anyone outside of it
I'll...look at the reaction I get on these... eventually
not sure when I'll be able to
i'm so scared
what
what even happened while I was gone?
what did Hasbro do to our little ponies at the end of the Season 10 comics? because they obviously showed us more of that horrible future again
G5 can't possibly take place in Equestria's future, right? ...right??
what did ... the fandom do while I was gone?
I mean ... my fears are all listed in the full blog post
please
help
I need catharsis

It's all good stuff. Lots of detailed replies. Nobody being a jerk.
