Some lovely fanart from VerumTee on deviantart. Thank you so much
So should we take this as the end with the possibility of continuing or just the end?
There will be an end to the story, but I might come back every now and then to answer questions post-epilogue, it might just be out of chronological order going forward
Message from the mod
When was the last time this blog got some substantial content? Like, halloween? Half a year ago?
I’m sorry that I have not been able to post here more. This blog started November 8th, 2012. SEVEN years ago. And things have changed a lot since then. This project started as a way for me to practice storytelling and art, and to connect with the community. I never really expected it to get so big or last so long. I also had way more free time back then.
With the final season of MLP upon us, perhaps it is time Octavia and Vinyl got an ending as well. Not that I want to do that. There are still many stories I want to explore. Questions about Octavia’s ensemble, about Vinyl’s workplace, their other friends, their family, their struggles, their drama, their relationship, their origins; I’d like to think I’ve created some interesting characters worth exploring.
But this has always been a story about their lives. And life goes on. And so will it for these two wonderful girls. I just want to provide what I hope will be a satisfying conclusion to the story that’s been told so far. It’s not going to tie up all of the loose ends, it’s not even going to answer a lot of the more popular and pressing questions. But it will leave room, the girls’ lives will continue even if we’re no longer a part of it. And maybe they’ll be back to answer those questions some day.
So, in the coming months, I’m going to be going into the final arc for the story of Octavia and Vinyl Scratch. I hope you’ll all enjoy and join me as we say farewell to the girls who I hope have inspired a few of you in your lives as they have mine.
And who knows. This is definitely not something I’m going to forget, and it’s not something I’m abandoning. I’d like to come back to this. Perhaps when I have more time, when life stops bombarding me with-- well... life.
Don’t be sad that it’s ending, be happy that it happened. And thank you to everyone, fans new and old, for being with me on this journey as it comes to an end.

Happy New Year from Manehattan
Are you still gonna post them here or are you moving out?
Yes, I will continue to post here
If possible id love to see it on twitter or something similar like MeWe
At this point it’d be too much trouble to do that.
Vinyl and I have a private life. I started this blog as a way to motivate myself to do more productive things. Work on my music, build my relationships, connect with fans.
But I’m not a blogger, I’m a musician at heart, and it’s probably time I returned to that. I would like to go back to touring regularly with the Manehattan Ensemble, and I’m sure Vinyl would like to break out of the Manehattan circuit and do bigger things with her music.
This isn’t goodbye yet. To all of the wonderful and lovely fans who bothered to come and listen to our story, I hope we can give you all a satisfying ending, as it were
Rip to the artists if this blog fades i will miss it greatly
I would like to see this story get an ending, so this blog will continue for a little while longer, but for now it seems like tumblr is dead to us and we’ll be moving on soon.
Well fuck me sideways and call me aunt Judy this account ain’t dead!
It would appear so. Currently we are unsure how we will proceed, I know we post rather infrequently so I guess we can consider the current hiatus period a moment of silence in solidarity for all of the artists who lost their blogs today (including the artist who draws for this blog)
ask-human-octavia reblogged
To everyone who’s sent me an ask about the tumblr policy change, thank you. I will be migrating to twitter as my main social media outlet.
In the meantime, I am going to try importing my blogs to wordpress so we can have some continuity in function. I’ll post a link to those when they’re ready
‘later tumblr
Not sure what will happen to this blog. It’s connected to Jon’s blog, so if his gets deleted then so will this one. For now, please follow Jon on twitter for updates about the situation.
And so ends our time with @scisetdiary. Thank you to Sunset Shimmer, Twilight Sparkle, and Sparkling Sapphire for their wonderful company.

Art on this page is a collab with @ask-human-octavia !
A wonderful concert and truly an honor to be playing alongside @scisetdiary !
I think maybe we should coordinate with our guests, their group costume is so cute. And Scratch always picks the strangest costumes...
I...don’t know what that hand gesture is. Scratch says it’s called the Tirek horns, not sure what that has to do with music though
This is definitely something Vinyl and I need to discuss in private at greater length. But there’s something else we need to worry about right now
The festival is less than a week away!
