> THE END. I think. For real this time.
> On this occasion of the tenth (TENTH) anniversary of this blog, I thought it a good time to throw a little spotlight back on where it came from, because I wouldn’t still be doing this today without the incredible tumblrpon community that was there when I started. And while most of these blogs are no longer active and their creators have moved on, I’d like to take a moment to celebrate this creative community and all the wacky, unique things it came up with. A million different interpretations of the same character, side stories of side stories of side stories, AUs, crackships, mashups, crossover storylines, metablogs, blogs where all the versions of a character hang out together… Stay weird, tumblrpon.

> I should also mention that I did not have the space, time, or wrist health to draw everyone I wanted to in this picture! Even up to the end when I was squeezing horses in to every spare space I could find I knew I was going to have to make some cuts. This also isn’t a complete inventory of every blog that “matters”, it’s skewed towards ones that I remember and/or interacted with, and most of them have been dead for several years at this point. But whether I drew your horse or not, everyone’s invited.
