> Litterally now I have some ideas with Twilight and Luster Dawn, so now I have no idea where my focus will go! 
and that´s fine honestly, it really relies on what you want expose and where you want to go with it. I might have not written greens besides the ones posted here but one thing I´ve noticed.....is the absolute freedom that you have for the story, especially if you play with some established rules but then, you start to go somewhere else. 

Not to mention that this show (as if didn´t make it clear before)  encourages and has left the door open for the community to go out there and play with the base material. Luster Dawn is simply one of the routes that one fan could write about out of endless options, with the entire world under the hands of any fan.

I don´t know what better gift could be given to the fanbase other than having freedom and getting a clear idea of how this world works,what species one can write about and what situation one can put into the center point of the invented story. 

> Take a rest. I'll try to get my thoughts togather on the final, though they have been rapidly changing back and forth. 
thanks.
Anyway, I understand that you cannot wrap up your mind and conclude this finale without the complete objectivity because there are lots of emotions behind this and...if anyone had told me that a little girls show could pull out a trigger of anxiety or depressed states for its fans, I would have laughed but we are talking about a finale that has caused an impact and has all the elements to drive someone to a sensible state, hence the review looks so difficult because giving it a 2nd try implies those harsh emotions despite expecting them.

> In fact, though I do not know to what degree, I think our fandom has a chance to become something longer term and a bit more intimate with those who stay. I find this lull between G5 to be possibly an opportunity. 
I am not saying that you have to be optimistic even though I have wanted to express that just to get out of the devastating circle that this ending could lead to one fan in the worst case scenario. I didn´t want that to happen neither for me nor you and I stayed up late in order to feel better with myself and attempt that your possibly grey thoughts aren´t unique so the feeling of loneliness and despair doesn´t feel as exclusive to you into a personal level.

Anyway, how will this fanabse go in the future? I don´t know but the statistics are truly amazing. In fact, /mlp/ has had two days of boost with 13k daily posts in 2019 which means that the fanbase has had enough lasting interest in this series until its ending.  Derpibooru has more than 2,1 million of images related to MLP and the daily uploads have slowly increased since its debut. Just use the data that you have (you might know it better than me because of your reports in the /go/ thread) so you can make some plausible hypothesis with it. 

That´s what actually scientists do, simply register all the activities, study the phenomenons closely and what conclusions/theories can be made from the obtained data. 

> I'm not saying I'm a blind optimist or that everything will be exactly the same level of activity, but I don't think things will just die, changes and...
> I guess I applied the lesson of the final didn't I? 
it´s a natural pattern of life itself but I didn´t expect that the show was going to expose its last moral towards the fans so directly, about moving on despite the uncertain future. Such a natural action would have happened but the staff literally decided to create the last episode towards that universal life lesson. Predictable but really damn effective and a good one to apply for everything.
