Description

Artist description:  
In “The Last Problem” Luna mentioned “Silver Shoals” - a place where she and Celestia will go.
After searching for information about this place, I found out that Silver Shoals is a retirement community.
Luna also asks Twilight to visit them there, which suggests that sisters will remain there indefinitely, possibly forever.
From “The Journal of the Two Sisters” book it’s clear that the alicorns do not age due to the use of a large amount of magic. Sisters used strong magic to interact with the heavenly bodies.
After Twilight took Celestia and Luna’s place, two sisters stopped using such strong magic. Most likely, they will become old as usual ponies…
That’s sad, but that’s what creators of the series decided.
I tried to imagine Luna in old age. I think she is still beautiful like before.

This is how alicorns would look if they aged like normal ponies. It’s unknown if alicorns are immortal but, it’s hard to say. They do have longer life spans than normal ponies and stronger magic, too. So, they might be able to keep themselves young to de-aging spells or || they might even choose when they die.||

Ah Princess Luna, she will live her last days in true joy. Who knows what adventures she will have in her last years.
I like to think to think she will live for 10 years aging gradually over those years. Who knows what adventures she shall live in those years.
And then she will die satisfied and leaving the mortal realm to join those before even her.

I am really not fond of the sisters growing old once they give up their thrones and such.  
Especially Luna since she didn’t get to experience life as much as Celestia did. It really makes the Nightmare Moon mess even more tragic than it should with Luna lost a 1000 years of her life she could have experienced life there.
 
It makes the retirement stuff even more worse than it is before for me.

Yeah, the “Silver,” followed by another word that starts with an “S” can be rather disorienting sometimes, to some people. They should’ve just kept saying “Seaward Shoals” in the show quite honestly, because it’s more distinct.

Actually, no, no it isn’t.
 
Silver Stable Community is the name of the retirement community.
 
Silver Shoals is the name of a coastal town, another name for it, being said in the episode P.P.O.V. (Pony Point of View) is “Seaward Shoals.”
 
They’re different names for the same place. Watch Point of No Return, you can see that it’s distinct name from this quote:
 
Meathead Pony: Hold on. She moved to… Silver somethin’. Shoals, Seas, Surfer, whatever. When you find her, give her this.
 
Which contrasts with them later saying:
 
Twilight Sparkle: [reading] “Silver Stable Community: For the best golden years.” This has to be it!
Spike: I hope so. It’s the last “Silver” spot on the map we haven’t looked.
 
…Also, something just feels wrong about seeing an “elderly alicorn,” does it not? I guess it’s in part due to how uncommon “agelessness” is with them.

No, just no. She’s an immortal goddess and already a 1000+ years alicorn, so she just can’t get that old. She will be forever as such cute young princess, as we’ve remembered her.
 
RIGHT! My beautiful Princess!

Beautiful vector, but I still believe that she and Celestia are immortal because even though Twilight can make the sun and the moon rise thanks to the amulet that they left to her, she continued to grow old anyway and not many years have passed since the series final, instead Celestia and Luna in a thousand years, and perhaps even more, have not growed old at all and in any case even if they no longer use their magic to rise the sun and the moon they continue to have their cutie marks that keep them tied magically to them.  
As for Silver Shoals even if it is confirmed that they will live there after they have left Canterlot it doesn’t mean that they will have to stay there forever and that they will grow old, they probably went there because they finished their job and decided to take one break before starting a new life, after all after making the princesses for centuries I don’t think it’s easy for them to adapt to society especially now that they don’t have a home and a job …

The worst case if celestia & luna not want eternal life.

Nope. Just nope. No to this, no to season 9, no to the writers, no to the series finale, no to the sisters retiring, not to Twilight becoming ruler and getting bigger and outliving her friends. No to all of it.
