So after weeks and weeks of avoiding spoilers…..In one foul swoop in the last three days or so I have been bombarded by spoilers for the final 3 episodes everywhere I went. I wasn't even trying, suddenly people are spoiling the twist, people are posting pictures of the final scenes of the series. So I bit the bullet and I watched the goddamn finale.
No spoilers obviously. But…..it was what I thought it would be. Definitely not a disappointment like say…..Fucking Adventure Time…..God I hate that finale……..But this one was nice. Honestly it is a very somber moment for me right now because when I think about it, this is really the first almost decade long show I've watched since the beginning (started watching on episode 10 of Season 1) through the end. Any other show that's lasted a decade or so are shows that I watched reruns of, and the other decade+ shows I've watched since the beginning are still going. So yeah this really struck a chord with me, t'was but a cringe filled 20 year old, not even old enough to drink (and fuck you, I was a good kid and didn't drink until I was legal!) and now I'm sitting here with a respectable career, a family of my own sleeping while I'm over here wiping away a few tears because the last few minutes of this fucking show got to me and now I need a beer.
And goddammit the most tragic part is all the people I once shared great memories with in this fandom are long gone. A few straggle here and there but it feels like I came back from the war after the trees started speaking Vietnamese and now all my war buddies are dead. So many stories but no one to remember them. I guess in the end the name of this thread couldn't be any more fitting because in the end we got our Cease and Desist, but by god, we got our one last hurrah!
So to all of you who aren't here anymore, I fucking love you guys, I'll never forget our chatrooms where we just streamed marathons of episodes and pony videos, our never ending faggotry on these threads, the Twilicorn drama. And to those of you who haven't seen the finale yet, I hope you all fucking enjoy it in a few weeks. You earned this ending.
