I just enjoy the ending of this one. Gotta love coming full circle.

I post it because (at least to me), it buries the notion that immortality is inherently nihilistic.

@Ebalosus  
That’s a good movie. Even your constant posting of that same picture, over and over, in almost every single “immortality blues” post, doesn’t even ruin it for me.

Again, >Implying immortality is inherently nihilistic
 

hoooooooly crap…

And then Cadence became Sombra. Though seriously, I wonder if something similar made Sombra trot the path of darkness.

@platypusmac  
ROFL that was good

D: Hey, don’t get snippy with me. I brought you into the life you have, I’ll take you out.

@platypusmac  
Nicely done. 10/10 would subvert greentext again

sad very sad poor Cady

Heck, if I were writing one of these, it’d be pretty hopeful.
 
“Twilight Sparkle has recently retired from her position as the Department Head of Magical Studies at Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns. She has a bestselling autobiography titled Friendship Is Magic.”

@YetAnotherBrony  
You have a point, but some of these seem more melodrama. That or I can’t relate as opposed to the “rejection” ones.

@AIDS Kitten  
Most of them, yes. This one? This one I actually like, if only for the parallel with Sombra. That, and I admit I have a nonsexual thing for descents into madness.

@AIDS Kitten
 
Is it backlash from how happy and perfect everything seems in Equestria? The need that SOMETHING has to be wrong, and seriously so, or it isn’t real?

Sanity saving headcanon: The introduction of age spells in season three was a hint that alicorns don’t naturally live forever.

Sombra: HA! Not so easy, is it, Your Pinkness?

What maudlin pap these “where are they now” uploads are. So contrived.
