...and it was awesome. It still boggles the mind that we continue to see development and depth brought to a cutesy little show designed to sell toy equines. This season brought even more redemption stories into the mix as we had the continued redemption of previous villains, including the redemption of an entire race. While the fact that almost every villain the show has ever faced has eventually been turned into a friend is a bit naive, the message that we can reconcile with almost anyone is one we need to hear again. With that, let's get to some pony wallpapers!

While not all welcomed Starlight Glimmer's redemption and her 'replacing' Twilight Sparkle as the studious pupil in the 'mane' cast, I've actually quite liked her. Her past misdeeds and her fears concerning acceptance and relapse help bring a depth to that role that we never saw with Twilight. We even got a small reprise of the 'evil' Starlight during the show's take on 'A Christmas Carol' to sate those in the fandom that preferred the vindictive, controlling villain we saw last season.

Are you still geeking out about that finale? Because I'm still geeking out about that finale. I've actually been rather impressed with Thorax's arc over the entire season, going from a meek, self-exiled outcast to the new leader of an entire race. And while the color scheme for the new Changelings may be... loud, it doesn't mean we can't find beauty in it, especially in wallpapers like these that make excellent use of shadows, something Changelings are very familiar with. All hail the deer-bug king! King Thorax

Trixie might have technically reformed a few years ago when she had her Alicorn Amulet removed, but this year we saw Trixie actually change for the better, thanks to her newfound friendship with Starlight. Nevertheless, Trixie will never stop showboating, which is great, because the Great and Powerful Trixie is still a delight, especially when she's putting on one of her shows. And let's face it: if you could make fireworks appear anytime, wouldn't you give your life some flair? Trixie by dstears
