We were simply not prepared. M.A. Larson, worried that he wouldn't be able to top giving Twilight Sparkle wings, decided to drop this bombshell when he returned to the world of pony in 2019. Millions of bronies everywhere burned their twaifu plushies in protest and the fandom still hasn't fully recovered. Remember when they had their first earth pony foal? The analysis community spent the next week figuring out how a pegasus and an alicorn pulled that one off. The poor kid was doomed from the start.
The fateful tweet that started it all can be found over here. RIP Twilight Sparkle's single status. At least Luna stayed open for another few seasons.
