In the fanfiction world, the "grimdark" scene was something that was both rare and ridiculously obnoxious. These stories became absolutely notorious around the fandom for corrupting our ponies in ways that shipping never could have come close to.
You've probably heard of "Cupcakes" in particular, where Pinkie Pie goes completely insane and does horrible things. Our lovable little party horse couldn't possibly do that, right?!
Welp.
Luckily her friends stopped her before the fanfics became canon. It was still pretty funny that we had such a weird fanon for her that almost came true.
And after that, pony just... ended. When The Best Night Ever aired we had no idea what the future had in store for us. Would Friendship is Magic get a second season? Would it keep going past that? I think most assumed it would at least survive for another. I don't think anyone thought we'd be here for a decade. Meanwhile I was sitting over here running a brand new horse site thinking the ride was already over and it was fun for half a year. Yeah, that didn't happen. It was one of the few hiatuses where the fandom grew x5 though with no official content at all. Who would have thought?
