The end of the series.

I think that’s a topic that not many in the Fandom seem to talk about.  
What would you do if you know the last Episode just went of the air, and pretty much the main core of the Fandom just vanished.  
Would you be sad? would you say “meh well atleast it was fun while it lasted?”
 
I think i would be sad for awhile, and maybe would make a little Tribute to the Series. But i think after a week i would get over it.

@Vree  

what’s up with people obsession with the “end”? is mayan 2012 again.

I hope the fandom will last a while after on site like this.

If it ends well, I’ll be “Man, that was a great show” (a la like I did with Firefly, Deep Space Nine, Mass Effect and Stargate: Universe)
 
If it ends poorly, then I’ll be “Fuck that ending, but at least the show preceding it was pretty good” (a la Mass Effect 3, Mass Effect 3, and Fucking Mass Effect 3)

I’d/will make an flashback tribute.  
Definitely i’d feel empty, but happy that i had the chance to join the magic of such a good show, and i’ll carry that for the rest of my life.

I wouldn’t have something to procrastinate so much, besides that, meh.

Eh, half the show was good, i’m glad to have been part of the fanbase and i hope it continues to on.
 
 
MLP really got me out of my shell ya know? I didn’t have anybody to hang out with before i watched the show now i have a bunch of friends.

I hope it don’t end for years I’m kinda just starting to get into this and plus I wouldent want to get one of those custom made rainbow dash plushes and thin this all just die then I look like an idiot

Idk, I’m kinda tired of this fandom.  
And this fandom is tired of me.
 
So bring it. BRING IT!!!!

I think it will just grow with the world.  
Just like the Sonic fandom.  
That fandom was dying but now, it’s busier than ever!

How did I triple post?

The love for this show described in the comments fascinates me.  

As strange it is, I’m not terribly scared of the show’s end. We will eventually get over it. The fandom will not die overnight. New fanfics will continue to get written years after the end. New fanart will be drawn. And so on.
 
What I fear is that decades from now I find the old, dusty hard drive from the 2010’s I’ve already forgotten about. After some fussing with electronics, I manage to power it up and to my astonishment it still works. I find hundreds of gigabytes of images, fanfics, episodes, PMVs and everything I stashed away after the fandom finally dwindled. I nostalgize for days, re-read old fanfics, watch the episodes I already forgot even existed. And I even remember the nicknames of you guys.
 
But there will be no one to talk to. No one to talk about the episodes. Nothing. Because the fandom hasn’t existed in decades, it eventually did wither away. I sit in the dark corner and weep silently. And so do you all.
 
The show may end but once a brony, always a brony.

Dude, you just made shed a tear. Seriously, that was one of the most depressing things I had ever read from the Internet.  
I drop my hat to you.

@JP  
Thanks for reading out loud the thoughts I try to put away from times to times.

I think nostalgia will take over and people will remember a lot more than we think they will.

I will finally have a chance to post this:
 

@JP  
 
Thanks for restoring my faith that some bronies do have an affectional bond with the show and not just following a fad that will eventually be forgotten.

Ultimately, I think that if anything, we’ll look back and use the fact that the Internet put a children’s cartoon on the same level as politics and religion as a topic that’s best to stay away from as a metaphor for society in general around this period.

My only worry is, when it all ends, people will remember this:  
 
or this?

I want to say we’re cynical when it comes to the end of the fandom, even when we’ve faced a lot of shit that was threatened by the fandom to kill the fandom. It’s funny… Are we all still aware - despite our attempts and denying it - that we all feel subconsciously guilty of watching a little girl’s show and we put on a “it’ll die soon” face to justify to ourselves it won’t be life-long or “long lived” like being a trekkie?
