…heh, what else is there to say? I created Final Skies so many years ago, and thanks to aaaall of you, it truly became a dream come true for me. Now, I can never, ever give myself a compliment, pat myself on the back, or toot my own horn. It’s just not in my nature. But even I can’t deny: I did it, you guys. I made my dream come true.

I made comics, so many comics, like my old webcomic heroes. I helped make a bonafide animated music video. I made up my own original characters, and people liked them. I signed autographs. I’ve met every senpai I had. I cheered up so many people. I’ve inspired stories, songs, and fan art. I added light to this bleak world in my own very small, tiny way. The only thing I think I still wanted to do, was create something truly beautiful. Something… breathtaking. And I don’t think I ever drew something like that. No, not as much.

But! I think I helped create something truly beautiful: the community we all built together. I have witness acts of kindness some people would think could only happen in a movie. But it’s real. We’re real. There is goodness in this world, and I think we’ve all helped people realize it’s not so unbelievable after all. All of us: The Pony Staff and Crew, the fan artists, the musicians, singers, sculptors, PMV-makers, writers, proof-readers, voice talents, plushie-makers, web designers, video game developers, moderators, Con organizers, commenters, rebloggers, like-ers, and so many more. We made the magic of friendship real. Yanked it right out of a children’s cartoon show and made it ours. We did it, you guys. We did it.

And now… the only thing I have left to do is say goodbye.

For now, anyway. I’ve been needing a break for a long time now, and, with all these crazy leaks, ha, I think it might be a sign from the Universe: get off the Internet! But I’ll be back. This is it though, for now. It’s funny. When I first discovered My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, I didn’t know about bronies. I hadn’t seen any of the memes or art or anything. I just stumbled upon this sincerely heartfelt cartoon and fell in love. That was back in February, 2011. I marathon’d every episode available, and it was only when I finished the latest episode, Sonic Rainboom, did I think to myself; “Okay… I can’t be the only one.”

And I have never been more right.
