      This was also posted in a manly tears thread on ponychan: http://www.ponychan.net/chan/pony/res/2482059.html (warning: if you take the challenge in the first post, it's likely you will fail. People also posted a few more bawww fics in the thread as well. Many manly tears have been shed in that thread)

      It's quite sad if the mood is right.

      You feel... buh.. de... deprappy.

      BOOM. Problem solved.

      Seriously though, it never occurred to me that Celestia would have to deal with almost everyone she knowns kicking the bucket on a 'regular' basis.

      Damn you, internets.

      That's actually a really depressing thought.

      Everpony Celestia has ever known or loved has died, and will die, with the exception of Luna.

      Begs the question of how she managed to deal with 1000 years alone. Luna was on the moon, yes, but Celestia was just as lonley in Equestria.

      'Least, in my imagination she was.

      One of things that I like about anime is that it often teaches the lesson that bittersweet experiences make us richer and that transient situations should be enjoyed while they last.
      I don't see much of that in "western" animation.

      I hate immortality blues with a passion. Immortality is like replaying your favorite video game or leveling an alt. Also you have time to do otherwise impossible things, like growing your own great redwood from a seed. Immortality is great!

      You don't don't have "human lifespan" blues when your hamster or cat dies - why would you when your faithful student does?

      For as long as you live, you'll always have new things to experience or encounter.

      Celestia probably has been reliving the dream with several similar sets of close friends.

      None of that is depressing as there is always the bright side, when there is none you make a hole in the darkness and make a bright side by force if necessary. You only live once or twice if you happen to have the odd rebirth and rememberance cycle like Philomena, who has been at Celestia's side like forever... oh come on!

      Stop being depressed crying ponies and leave that kind of stuff to Pinkie who looks cute while doing it.

      The comic seems to be implying that this is long after the events of the series, when Twilight and her friends have passed away, but the main cast all appear in the second to last frame. They're not even hidden or anything. What's going on?

      I like this comic, to make it sadder, imagine that she only has photos of her students that go back to when cameras were invented, there were probably hundreds more before that. All of them are dead!

      VastaKustuta
    51. Ciroton11. mai 2011, kell 09:17

      I don't think Twilight or the others are dead in this comic. Her report on the Magic of Friendship, as well as the picture, probably got Celestia all nostalgic and sad for friends long-since past. At least, that is how I see it.

      On immortality, I have pondered it for a while now. I'm gifted with a vivid imagination, and can often place myself in unfamiliar situations with some degree of accuracy. I speculate palace life is extremely boring when it is not busy.

      Even when it is busy, it's probably the same situation with different variables; nothing truly unique to a being as old as her. (I think Celestia is much older then the 1000 as told by the Mare in the Moon tale.) This doesn't even take into consideration all the ponies she's ever known, or ever will.

      Now, Celestia is a smart pony, and such lapses into self-pity are probably rare and brief. In fact, she's probably already accepted and prepared for the day her newest student passes on.

      Now, how does one cope with Immortality? Personally, I'm sure they both (Celestia and Luna) look forward to the future and try to dwell on the past as little as possible. Hobbies also help to distract them, like Celestia's trolling. =P

      So yeah, the comic is sad because it deals with mortality and how the princesses might welcome death one day, if they don't already. After all, everything must have a beginning, middle and end.

      Immortality Blues is a catchy title, but the comic is really about loss. Anypony who is emotionally invested in something can feel it when that something is gone, immortal or not. I guess the point is that life keeps on going on outside your doors, and its better for everypony when you're a part of it.
