Apparently Youtube isn't sending me notifications for this one. Luckily Masem sent it in, albiet it a bit late.
We've got a new Bronies React covering the finale this time. Get it down below.

While the news of season 9 has been spreading across the fandom a bit of sad news has also hit certain sections of the pony fandom hard this week. Koobikitsune (CobaltTheUnicorn), whose characters, such as Dopple and Cobalt (whom you might have seen in various comics on EqD), has passed away.
Unfortunately Koobi had not been feeling well during the past few months and was suddenly admitted to the hospital within the past two weeks due to liver and kidney failure that came on suddenly and unexpectedly, something he was unable to recover from.
I admit that I never knew Koobi (save for his characters), but hearing how he touched the lives of so many of our community members from behind the scenes I couldn't let such a noble soul pass on without some sort of tribute to all they have done.
A memorial service for Koobi will be held on March 22. If you wish to pay your respects to the family you can contact Pony-Berserker either on Twitter or Deviant Art to learn more about attending the memorial service or at least wishing the family your best.
Rest in peace, Koobi. From what I've heard from your friends it sounded like you were a person I really would have liked to have met.
Check after the break for memorial messages and art links from folks around the community.

Background ponies are one of the defining features of our fandom. Since the earliest days of Friendship is Magic, we have adopted pretty much any interesting looking horse to corrupt to whatever weird ideas we've come up with. Not only that, but many of them have wildly different stories just based on who you ask. Whether it be motherly Derpy with her daughter Dinky, or Lyra and Bonbon being really into each-other, the early era of MLP was completely filled with them.
Over the years, this practice has kinda died out. Even as models for these incidental characters increases in quality, the wacky idea machine for them seems to be... lacking. A sad situation all around if you ask me.
For this reason, we present 15 under-appreciated background ponies that desperately need more fan content. This post is split in two since we recruited an army of fanfiction writers to defend a few of their favorites, and fanfiction writers tend to be a little bit wordy. You will find them in tomorrow's second section.
Get set number one below!

Want to host a meetup now that we have a date for the opening episode of season 9? We are currently collecting them! Might as well make our final season a party right?
The deadline will be March 15th, so a week from now for a Saturday post. That should give people plenty of time to plan their schedules around attending a few weeks after.
Head on down below for submission info!
