I don’t think I’ve ever cried while drawing a picture before.
 

 
 
I was gonna save this picture for tomorrow, but I honestly just couldn’t wait….
 
When I first heard about this show, I thought “what a dumb show”.
 
“It’s for little girls.”
 
“I’d rather be dead than be seen watching that crap.”
 
 
Well, without that dumb, crappy show for girls I wouldn’t be here.
 
This show brought me so much happiness in the worst times in my life. In fact, even while I’m typing this I’m choking up slightly. I can’t properly describe what this show means to me…all I do know is that it has made me who I am today. I know for a fact that I would be a worse person without it. That young, dumb cynic that first started watching this show in 2014 would’ve never tried making his comic. Or drawing pones. Or met any of you.
 
The smallest things have the biggest impact.
 
A dumb, crappy show for girls.
 
 
Now that it’s over….I don’t know. My Saturdays are a little less bright. I don’t have episode reviews to look forward to. In many ways….I’m not ready for it to be over.
 
But with the fanbase that’s grown around this show…the reboot coming sooner than we may realize…and the huge amount of people that’ve been inspired by this show and continue to hang around…it’s not really over.
 
The ponies aren’t gone. They’re just in our hands now.
 

 
…now, I know I’ve cried writing a description to a piece of artwork I’ve made before.
 
Can’t quite remember when last that was.
 

 
…I know it might be early for promises and such…but I will hate myself if I don’t get to Everfree Northwest next year. And I won’t stop drawing pones until there’s nothing left to draw.
 

 
This picture took me a while. Not because it was overly difficult to draw, but because I wanted to savor the time I took making it. And the final touch of thank you on the bottom made me sit and weep for a few minutes.
 
This is also the only time I’ve ever drawn the Mane 6 together. And it may stay that way.
 
A special picture on a special day.
 

 
 
Well, before I drown my laptop in tears I’m gonna wrap this up.
 
All the people who worked hard on this show. Thank you.
 
All the talented people who created, who drew, who sang, who acted, who did everything…thank you.
 
All the people who created a satisfying, well rounded, and just…lovely ending…thank you.
 
To Lauren Faust, who created this series….thank you.
 
To my old cynical self, who started off this show by looking at stupid memes…thank you.
 
To and especially…thank you for creating and being inspiring. (and for putting up with me sometimes, I know I can be dumb)
 
To my watchers who take the time to read and watch what I do….thank you.
 
To the few real life people who actually know what I do and create and love every bit of it…thank you.
 
To the show that I hope made me a better person, that inspired me to draw and imagine and dream, to dedicate hours and hours and months and years to these things that help me get better little by little, and that brought me happiness in bad times……thank you.
 
 
To my roommate who just walked in as I was crying but didn’t notice because his health physiology homework isn’t working right on his laptop…thanks for not noticing. hehe.
 
 
To all my small, colorful, tiny cartoon horse friends…
 

 

 
Thank You.
