  When the last eagle flies over the last crumbling mountain<br>And the last lion roars at the last dusty fountain<br>In the shadow of the forest though she may be old and worn<br>They will stare unbelieving at the last Bronycon<br><br>When the first breath of winter through the flowers is icing<br>And you look to the north and a pale moon is rising<br>And it seems like all is dying and would leave the world to mourn<br>In the distance hear the laughter of the last Bronycon<br><br>I&apos;m alive, I&apos;m alive<br>When the last moon is cast over the last star of morning<br>And the future has passed without even a last desperate warning<br>Then look into the sky where through the clouds a path is torn<br>Look and see her how she sparkles, it&apos;s the last Bronycon

  There&apos;s something weirdly hilarious about the <i>half-hour</i> build from &quot;I know a little bit about MLP&quot; to &quot;I was one of the main creative drives behind a fanmade spinoff series that is culturally significant to this day.&quot;<br><br>Like, there&apos;s burying the lede, and then there&apos;s ancestral tombing it.

  That woman who says &quot;Please exit the emergency exit, every pony!&quot; is really doing her job.

  I think we skipped too quickly over the fact that somebody impersonated Jenny and was never heard from again. That&apos;s a whole unsolved mystery.

  sometimes you just gotta throw an &quot;everypony&quot; into everyday conversation and deal some psychic damage

  Even without knowing what &quot;horse famous&quot; is, if someone told me &quot;Jenny Nicholson is horse famous&quot; I&apos;d probably be like Yep, that makes sense.

  There&apos;s something really sad about Lyle&apos;s mother describing her husband as &quot;conservative&quot;, then desperately trying to find something, anything else to describe him as and failing. Either there&apos;s nothing else to him but being conservative, or everything else was too messed up to say out loud.

  I&apos;m speechless in that during a fire. The announcer tells &quot;everypony&quot; to evacuate. That&apos;s dedication to the craft.

  Jenny&apos;s &quot;I was horse famous&quot; and Sarah Z&apos;s &quot;I was in the Onceler fandom&quot; have the same, yet opposite energies.

  Jenny revealing that she was &quot;horse famous&quot; and that she contributed to a large portion of brony fan culture is like that Darth Vader twist before it became iconic in pop culture.
