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.

In our hearts and unless the internet dies, theyl be there too.
But we must see what comes after such an experience via gen 5
Same here.
While I was uploading this I kind of considered that, however I wouldn’t have been able to change that in the time I felt I needed. Also I feel that would imply that Anon, as a stand in for the viewer, would be leaving ponies behind. Which may be true for some people but not so much for what I assume to be most of us.
Regardless, thank you for reminding me of the beautiful composition used for background fare in Hey Arnold.
