I’m torn. I don’t blame him. I’m obvs against suicide, but I’m not against euthanasia, and you could make the argument that he was suffering major quality of life issues from “medical” conditions.
But… and this the part that makes me side against his decision… He left behind 6 foals who obviously loved him (Part 6 was all of them horribly sad because they couldn’t make Nugget happy), who are mourning his death, and now are completely parentless.
I realize these are fluffies, so the comparison isn’t great, but when a fluffy has the mental capacity to freely choose suicide, understanding the ramifications that it holds, that fluffy becomes much more human-like. And that gives their actions human-like consequences, and leaving behind orphans is one of the most selfish things you could do.

Anyway, the fact that this tugged at my heartstrings tells you that you did an excellent job! Excited to see the other ending(s).
