In the great words of the almighty Larson, the show has come and went and it left its most important gift behind in the final episode: confirmed canonicity. Flash also got the uplifting treatment (not that either of them weren’t canon already, of course) so it was only fitting that he gets to share the image. Derpy is there just because I like her though!
I got some more ideas with the finale and a lot more with pony in general but as the seasonal flu descends upon me, they’ll have to wait. I’ll be putting up a dA journal with my thoughts on the finale, the future, my lack of uploads lately and all that jazz soon so keep your eyes peeled! Pony might be over, but there are a lot of ideas left to draw and cute ponies to indulge in and I hope all of you will be along for the ride!
In addition, I made this in part for the Derpibooru anniversary art event. It might be a bit of a stretch but I’d say being undoubtedly canonical fits the topic of a pony reaching one’s dreams. It certainly is my dream fulfilled, even if it was just a cameo.

So the entirety of her ||going back to Equestria in “Mirror Magic” ||meant nothing?
(I put that in spoilers in case anyone hasn’t seen it)
Seriously, though, hail to the queen, baby!
Nah. Her being there as she was is plenty of substance.
In the comics it isn’t a problem to have Sunset. Recently she showed up and played the guitar and stayed for several pages. I’m using spoiler tags for this because it was so random that it might ruin the surprise for that issue.

There’s still the Season 10 comic books. Maybe she could reappear as either a one-shot or reoccurring supporting character.
They wanted it to be a bigger role but they weren’t allowed to do it (probably some nonsense about how it would “confuse kids” if they did it).
Not really. It was more like an easter egg and a nod than anything of substance. Sunset still never got a speaking role, has never been actually referenced outside of being slapped at the end for 2 seconds in the background and her story and character have zero impact on the show. Her character still doesnt exist within the framework of the show.
That whole sequence was a cameo and not really a big deal. This was even noted by Jim Miller.
