Then they pass on 3 years later at the exact same time. And I’d cry like a bitch.

@PonyPon  
and now it’s a little less.
 
Oh well.

finally! alicorn twilight ageing. why is there not more of this?

This is now pretty canon. And you know what?
 
I’m okay with that.

So…is everyone blind now?

@StandInTheShade  
Maybe they get stronger with age?

Wait, I meant

and then their skulls turned into the next form of the elements of harmony.

“Btw, we don’t even know if Celestia and Luna really are immortal or just very long lived.”
 
That’s exactly what comes to my mind whenever I see a picture pointing out something like this.  
You know what I think? Maybe there are ‘tiers’ or levels of power among alicorns, and Celestia and Luna are the highest tier. All others with fewer powers and abilities may still be considered mortal, or at least longer-lived than regular ponies.  
High-tier alicorns may also be the only ones that possess the ability to turn others into (mortal) alicorns as well.  
Whoever wants to improve or expand on this theory is welcome to do so. Just my two bits is all…

i dont like these “elderly” pics they always make me sad :(

just how long have they been friends? O.O

Something about this is very sweet, and it’s nice to see a “everypony is old now” pic that’s more bittersweet, and cute.  
I also like the subtle details like Twilight’s earings, Dash’s goggles, Rarity’s glasses, (which seem to imply Rarity & Dash can’t see very well) and Fluttershy in a wheelchair, and such.  
Seeing them withering away physically, while still being friends, and still being powerful as the “elements of harmony,” is both saddening, and heart-warming at the same time.
 
Took me awhile to notice the tiny Discord, looks like he’s still friends with Fluttershy. (Or maybe he’s her pet now. Hehe)

@sixtyfour215  
I was wondering the same thing.

How many season’s to get to this point O_O 30 maybe if it’s yearly

@PwnyPony  
She’s so beautiful that age has a hard time keeping up. There’s also that one theory that earth ponies live longer. Because almost every elderly pony we’ve seen is an earth pony. There was just one old Pegasus in cloudsdale, and that’s it as far as I can remember.

I think this is pretty epic.  
All of those people who say “The idea of Twilight being an immortal alicorn watching her friends die is grimdark” are over thinking the negative aspects of this.  
If Twilight does get to become immortal and watch her friends grow old and die is one thing, but there are plenty of good things about it too.  
Like I’d imagine her friends could have their own families in the mean time.  
Imagine Pinkie and Pokie Pierce get married and have kids and Twi gets to be a close family friend and watch them grow up and do their own thing.  
I imagine Celestia has this type of thing going on too.  
Like she had some kind ‘mane six’ of her own and probably still has ties to their descendents.  
Celestia has lived over a thousand and still seems to be very interested in pony life styles and keeping things interesting.  
Btw, we don’t even know if Celestia and Luna really are immortal or just very long lived.

My heart D:

teehee

Applejack looks youngest.

:C  
Old Mane Six pics always make me sad.
 
Also, Discord is there but no Spike, why?
 
And Twi looks to have aged, but not as much as the others really.

Why does this remind me of the ending scene in Dungeons and Dragons movie?

@gittonsxv  
But sad. I’d go with the term “solemn.” I see this as one last use of the Elements before the bearers pass on to the next world
