Short guy on the front row loaded with badges and buttons and the green scarf and cap over here. Dang, is this ever a pleasantly unexpected allusion to the impromptu banner this place had during BC 2013; the MLP Forum peeps were taking a photo like this one, and just a few minutes after taking it did we realize M.A. Larson photobombed it, which inspired the sudden banner change! Good damn times. Much like the con itself, this picture, and the fact that it's being used as the banner, is a very satisfying bookend to many of our experiences dabbling in ponies. What a near perfect weekend it was.

Oh, is it too late to still get one, even if we were there? ^^; EDIT: Somehow didn't notice until I literally made this post, whoops!

This image made me tear up for like the 10th time that I have this weekend, very moving. Any chance you remember the name of the artist for that drawing? I'd love a print like that.

I'm happy to say that I'm going to be at my first BronyCon since 2015, for multiple reasons. My first BronyCon in 2013, and the show itself, have kickstarted my foray into online communities like nothing else had done before or ever since, acquiring numerous priceless things like friends and memories, delving into things like art and conventions that helped me feel more comfy and established in the communities I thrive in and enjoy now. My first BronyCon was my first convention ever, and my first of many times of seeing my online friends in person. It was last second, rough, and brief, but the feeling of seeing my online friends and interacting with them in the flesh changed my life, and that first time taught me a lot about how to improve my subsequent trips to conventions. I owe way too much of my friends and memorable moments these past seven years to the show, and I'd personally have been upset if I didn't go to the final one of these events, to personally make that final big memory during the show's run, other than the finale itself. This last time I will not be going with as many friends as in the past, but I do plan to make this trip one of reminiscence, to remember all the great times I had in the three Bronycons I'd gone to in the past, and to try to rekindle the indescribable joy I was introduced to with my first BronyCon. I don't know how many of my old friends are going, or people that I've known in this fandom but never saw at a con, but I'd love to see each and every one of them and make the most out of this final big meeting, and I wish everyone that strives to keep going to others around the country/world and keep making memories can do so with ease.

Firstly, I think this was one of the funniest episodes ever. (At least in terms of all S1-4, and bits of 5-8) Twilight and Spike at their funniest, and Twilight at her cutest. The montages were probably meant for padding out the length of the episode, and I felt they were kind of pointless. Was great to see a S1E1 flashback and Moondancer again but I'm a little confused as to why they said Dusty was forced out when she wasn't. Though perhaps it could've been just a rumor. The actual reason why she left makes for a great moral to this episode. Really feels like an early season ep with Twilight being cutely nervous over something that turns out to be a simple happy solution in the end. Really enjoyed this one!

Hoo boy it's been a long while- my last post was mid 2015. The last episode I watched live was some time during Season 5. I've been pretty much out of the fandom and exploring new communities and other things in my life the past 4-5 years, but I've decided to hop on the pony wagon for the last ride. My 4ish year time in the fandom that seemed to last for a decade was so powerful and memorable that I wanna rekindle those memories in the final season of the show, that we all knew was inevitable at some point, by following the final season on live streams, going to the last Bronycon and my first one since '15, and maybe meeting old friends again. I may suffer from being unfamiliar with a few things and characters that I've missed but, eh, I'm just here to enjoy the last chapter of this incredible journey we've all had, and hope that I can spend it with some of the old friends I'd made along the way. Hope everyone can enjoy these final, bookending last episodes to the fullest! It's been a great run.

Been here since April 2012. Stopped frequenting this place a lot in late 2013, I've just simply lost interest in how much it's changed. But I still exist, so yeah. Happy to remember a lot of the older names, and it's good to hear that some of you guys are still active on here.
