Tick tock, goes the clock  
And then what shall we see?  
Tick tock, until the day,  
‘Till thou shalt marry me  
Tick tock, goes the clock  
And all the years they fly  
Tick tock, and all too soon,  
You and I must die

Oh god to see that this is actually gonna happen now

God, I’m crying. Maybe I’m just a big loser but seeing such a heartbreaking picture of such a relatively simple, lovely show…it really hits you.

Living forever….it’s a painful curse.

@Background Pony #2ED2  
No, you’re not

I don’t know if I could handle seeing Discord cry. There’s just something about jovial characters being reduced to tears that completely breaks my heart.

@GUILLE832  
Don’t hurt yourself over a series of comments. I’m worried about you.

@Background Pony #90C8  
Fine, I think now I´ll just go kill myself. Pleasure to meet you.

@GUILLE832  
My friend, your response to ‘bad things happen whether or not you see them’ was ‘then why do anything at all with my entire life?’. That’s not a healthy attitude. Please seek help.

@Background Pony #90C8  
Nice argument. I don´t share your point of view, so obviously I need mental help because anyone that doesn´t agree with you is clearly crazy.

@GUILLE832  
I’m not ‘dragging’ my argument anywhere, I’m pointing out that you’ve misread it.  
If your response to ‘bad things are going to happen’ is ‘sit there and let them’, I think you’ve got some issues that need working out. See a psych.

@Background Pony #90C8  
Now you´re dragging your argument to a higher morale stand. This is not about the world ending or not, but how it would affect an immortal being. Hell, if we go for that mindset, I don´t get why we humans don´t just sit on our asses and let the world die since eventually our planet will be destroyed.  
An immortal would have to face all that, unlike a person who eventually dies. That´s the reason I think Fluttershy, or many other people at that, would prefer to live and die instead of living forever.
 
Also, what does that mean? Death is death and life is life, except when life it´s death? Is that what you are trying to get across?

@GUILLE832  
See, I never said anything about whether or not you’ll see it. I said ‘it’ll happen regardless’. That’s what you’re missing here. Frankly, I think it’s very selfish to value whether or not you see bad things happening over whether or not they happen at all.  
And any life that is worse than death is, itself, a form of death. That’s all that is.

@Background Pony #90C8  
It´s far less probable you´ll see the fall of a prosperous empire with a limited lifespan in contrast to an unlimited one, in which seeing everything you love destroyed is a certainty. And if an Empire were to collapse in your lifetime it would have been showing signs of decay way before you were born. Or do you think Rome fell in a day? The Mongol Empire? Ancient Egypt? The Spanish Empire? The Colonial Empires? All those took generations to bring down. Unless you are born near the end there´s very little possibility of seeing it collapse in your lifetime.  
Not only regarding civilizations, but on a more personal level; while you´d lose some things if you were mortal, you´d love everything if you were immortal. It´s logic.  
Static nothingness is better than some of the crap life has to offer. What do you think people who beg for death due to being in immense misery or pain are thinking? There are several occasions where death is preferable to life.

@GUILLE832  
No, those things would happen. Other people will still die, and empires will still rise and fall. You are factually incorrect here.  
And frankly you’re not countering my assertion that death is inferior to life in the slightest. You’re reinforcing it by bringing up that death is static nothingness.

@Background Pony #90C8  
No, none of that would happen if she were mortal. Or at least, they´d happen on a much lesser scale.  
And that reasoning If life is better than death than eternal life is better than eternal death is pretty flawed. It´s too simplistic. You need to take in consideration the changes one experiences in life. Death is static, life is not. Life can always get better or worse, death is an eternal state of stability and nothingness.

@GUILLE832  
Who cares about any of that? If life is better than death than eternal life is better than eternal death.  
And all those things are going to happen whether she lives forever or not, so what difference could it possibly make? Her death on top of those things is just one more unnecessary tragedy.

@Background Pony #90C8  
Define “consequence-free”. You´ll have to see everyone you know die (kind of cliche, but true), how your language slowly withers, she´d have to see Equestria´s decline as in every great nation… Immortality is not for everyone. There are people who just prefer to live what they want to live and then peacefully die. I am pretty sure Fluttershy would be one of these people.

@GUILLE832  
Cause now she’s old and dying by choice. She doesn’t have to be. The out’s right there, consequence-free.

@Background Pony #90C8  
How so?

@GUILLE832  
Well that just undermines the picture even further.

So realy sad.  
This is beautiful.

@Background Pony #90C8  
Pretty sure she doesn´t want that. Otherwise, he would have done it.

Discord, you’ve got near limitless magical powers. Trixie once used magic to make a pony younger. You can do the same. Come on.

Why does this remind me of Up?
