I’ve had this ready for quite some time now in preparation for today. I haven’t seen the finale just yet (although I have been spoiled on it to some degree, thanks /mlp/.) but I want to put this out now. As for why the ending of the pigeon man episode of Hey Arnold! for the basis and music for this? Because the ending of that episode was kinda bittersweet, Pigeon man’s home is wrecked and he leaves, but he leaves with the knowledge that there are good people in the world. The show may be leaving us but it left us with a community of mostly good people (Every fandom has it’s flaws be they small or massive ones, what can you do?).

It’s amazing how what was essentially a series of 22 minute long toy commercials could create an environment of such unbridled creativity. You wanna see some wholesome adventures with that one background pony? We got at least 30, a romcom for your favorite ship? I can’t count that high! A crossover with a videogame series about living in a nuclear wasteland? You can buy physical copies! You got stories, comics and games even! And this is all STILL going on, almost a decade later. My only regret about being in this fandom is not creating more content for it early on.

Pony was obviously a big part of my life, it got me interested in drawing again, and curious as to the inner working of cartoons and other creative practices. It lead me dismiss old preconceptions about creative processes (Like the idea a 5 minute cartoon did not take 5 minutes to make and things like that). I’ve learned to be more appreciative of creative efforts, even if they don’t align with my personal tastes.

I want to thank all those that have come and gone, those who came and stayed and those yet to arrive. This may be the end of the show but not the end of pony itself! The ride only ends when you decide to get off, never forget that.

Little paragraph here for you good Derpibooru folks. I am truly thankful for all you guys who comment, upvote, favorite my stuff on here, it truly means a lot to me and I wish I was better at expressing that. I plan to continue making content for you folks here for as long as I am able.
