Which characters can live a thousand years after the show ends?

[FlareGun45 2,221]

After learning that Twilight will not outlive the Mane Six, it makes me wonder which characters can outlive the other ponies.

* Celestia and Luna for starters since they're immortal.

* Maybe Flurry Heart since she's a natural-born alicorn and could be immortal too. If Twilight isn't immortal, then I don't think Cadance is either.

* Discord, he's going to feel so sad when Fluttershy passes on. He might go crazy and all hell might break loose!

* Spike, since he's a dragon and can live a very long time. Torch has lived since the Pillars lived, so Spike, Ember, and Garble all can live a very, very long time! With most of Spike's friends passing on, I wonder what he's going to do with himself. Be Equestria's ambassador still perhaps, and maybe look after the Mane Six's decedents as their guardian since he'll be pretty big by then.

I'm not sure about Tirek and Scorpan because I don't know how long their races can live for, and I have no idea about the changelings either. How long did Chrysalis live for? If we know how long a changeling's life spand is, it could determine whether or not Thorax and Pharynx would still be around.

Who do you think could live this long?

I actually think this may be up for interpretation now, since we have confirmation that they were physically different (smaller) the last time SStB saw them. Another possibility that fits what we know for certain is that they could simply age slowly, which means that they could easily be around another 1000 years.

According to the Journal of the Two Sisters, natural born alicorns do age slowly, but it's presumed they aren't immortal. Celly and Luna are physically young, so they can naturally live for another thousand years. It is said that Twi won't outlive her friends, and Cadance being a teenager when she babysat Twi supports that claim (she was born pegasus), but McFlurry is an unknown land. She may live as long as her aunts being born alicorn, but neither of her parents have that longevity

Discord surely will reach another thousand, as, presuming he's not immortal, I don't see him as that old physically 

Who knows about Chrysalis? The ambiguously canon comics do state that she's centuries old, but the show did little to either support or deny that

Hard to say about Tirek and Scorpan. If the early drafts for the pony movie are to be believed, Scorpan may have a longer life span, but he was already old, so I don't think he would be able to reach his next thousath year. Tirek might, as it seems Tartarus stops the aging of it's prisoners

I do wonder if they're immortal or just very long-lived. 

Anyway, I'm not sure it's ever been confirmed that Twilight and Cadance aren't immortal, which has led me to a quirky hypothesis that whichever arcane forces give them their power also impact Twilight's friends and Shining Armour. We've already seen how Twilight's friendship magic requites the other five to work, and Cadance did bolster Shinjng's shield spell that one time, so perhaps these characters are magically linked somehow.

I don't think that's the most likely scenario, but it's an idea I've come up with.

Ugh! I am Soooo SICK of that Alicorns are immortal nonsense. Did they ever say Alicorns were immortal in the show itself? NO! They are just long-lived.

Twilight Sparkle will live to see all of her friends die, and hundreds of years afterward will have nothing left of them but fading memories. When asking of her teacher, Celestia will say, "did you think making you an Alicorn was a blessing? No, no, no, no, no. It is a curse Princess Twilight. The worst curse of them all!"

As the sun rises, so does the moon.
