Hey Brony Notion. Love this theory of yours but I gotta say something. It's not another theory it's just some thing like a correction?! So yeah, listen I'm a Greek and I have to tell you what those Greek words mean in English so you'll understand the better. In my language:
Philia = Friendship
Eros remains eros
Agape = Love
and
Storge = Affection.
So I hope that this little Greek lesson helped you and all the other non Greek subscribers of yours to know what these words mean. Ok, bye. ;)


But what about the love for power and money? Would that make some of the main villains of MLP?


I agree with you on this. It fits in well.


I have seen something odd about ailcorn magic. If you look at the "Sun God's" magic it is


Well Prince Blueblood is said to be Princess Celestia's nephew, since the her only sibling is Luna wouldn't that mean that Blueblood is Luna's son?


I don't get it. If changelings are feeding of their love, than how can Shining Armor and Cadence defeat the changelings?


luna is in that video of "son of the moon" and "children of the night"so maybe she isn't a mom but acts like a mom to the little ones,like if kids have a nightmare they go to their mom or dad so they won't get scared the somewhat same as luna but she goes to them


I Would think they all represent love but could they represent something else than love???


Storge is so true for Luna, like there is even a music video of her on YouTube singing a song called "Children of the Night" and she loves them, u should check it out

+Tuxedo Cat i wonder if she has a special spot for pip. the little foal from nighmare nights. he said she was his favorite princess.


Twilights expression was perfect when you said not in a romantic way like "really?"


Love is magic, because - of course, everything is magic.


I am Greek and it totally makes sense...Thank you for that


You forgot to mention the song children of the night wich explains Salinas love

Salina? That's not even her pre-pilot name!


Brony notion in your next video will you please talk about why Vinyl Scratch and shining armor look so much alike thank you


Yay my language has huge Dictionary but you're pronouncing the greek words wrong.<br>Well you see philia is pronounced philia but the tone goes on the last I and in greek it's φιλία, now eros is another word to call for erotas and in greek it's έρωτας, agape's tone goes to the second a and it's pronounced agaaapi I putted the two A in order to know where the tone because I don't know how to adjust a tone in this language and Storge's tone goes to the e. But you tried to pronounce the words from the greek language and you respect our culture and language so...THAK U...Aww and nice theory by the way!!!     ;)

Yay my language has huge Dictionary but you're pronouncing the greek words wrong.

What if there was a gem of a heart shaped in an apple hidden in a tree


I want to talk about Luna when season 2 came out  I saw this video where she was singing along time ago and it's called children of the night so then at the beginning this fillie was saying you are mother of wat ever is it but then I was like she's the mother of children's of the night?


What if sunset shimmers becomes a princess? Then what love would she represent?


wait, does that mean that the crystal heart is an element of harmony?

+randolph rosenberg i believe it was defense system powerd by love.


Also I think the children of the night from that music vid count as luna's children


0:12 Yep. Friendship is a product of the bond between friends, aka love. Discussion closed.

*finishes video*


Well luna is alone Love she help's a pony One by One and help's with THEIR fears celestia help's everypony twili is friendship and cadence is romantic  Love


On your new year video I think one moon is one day. So that means that a pony year is 100 days or 100 moons. And that's why ponies live so long


does anyone else notice that cadence is the only pony with her eyes completely outlined?


Luna has a song called Children of the Night, which is fan made, so that could count as storge


But love needs to be the A Rod of friendship


Wait you said Love is magic- is it the same as magic power? Like: Natsu from fairy tail (anime) has Fire powers. Does that count? In Love magic stuff?


You were close on the pronunciation of 'storge.' It sounds out at "Store-ghee." Rhymes with corgi. :3


Should I go into debatable about the words for love in Greek <br>The gods/goddess no ok ( mumbles to self about Greek myths)

Should I go into debatable about the words for love in Greek
The gods/goddess no ok ( mumbles to self about Greek myths)


Well the video of Princess Luna in children of the night is the proof for her kind of love<br>


but luna might have a son...celestia has a nephew...so that means either she has a 3rd sister/brother or luna has a son.so idk


I do believe it was coincidental, but it makes sense why Celestia and Luna fall into the two latter types of love. Celestia has a god's love for the world because she's a sun deity, she's God, and, before people start pulling the "But alicorns are not really truly gods" argument, or worse, the "ugh religions suck" argument, I don't mean she IS God, but she's based off God, I mean, God's associated with the Sun, and everlasting love for his people, going as far as protecting and leading his people, he will even attack others who threaten his people, using all of his power to destroy and undermine them. And Luna's tender, motherly love is because she's based off lunar deities, who are mostly associated with fertility in all ways, including in childbearing. I mean, she is basically the Three Faced Goddess of the Wicca, we see all of the three sides of the Goddess in her, the Maid in her joviality and impulsiveness (as it's shown in the comics), the Mother in her works in the dream world, and the Crone in her wisdom and overall responsibility and responsibilization of her past acts (although that's also shared by the Mother's aspects in her). They are both coincidentally fitting into the love concepts, because of who they are based of, which is ever so ironic and intriguing.


it's true that in Greece we have many words for love


Luna doesn't have children but in my opinion she's storge  because children are unable to do things that adults can do so that means she loves the ponies that don't have a good life.kinda like Celestia but with less ponies


Philia means friendship,eros or erotas is romantic love,agape means love but brothers love or family love.


I think at first it was unintended but then found out and went with the flow


I support this theory fully.
Or..
Filly.


hi notion! um...i love your videos and will you do a video about the cutie mark crusaders? they are my faorite fillies :) and also will you do a face reveal soon. everyone is dying to know what you look like


I think that the authers did it on purpose because it would make a lot of sense


your right about luna but she does have children witch are called'children of the night'


Question, um... If sunset shimmer IS the newest princess, would she also be the princess of phillia? Considering that in one of your videos that she grew wings and a tail as a phoneix. So what princess would she be???


I have to say I REALLY hate the whole love is magic cliche in these kinds of shows :/


At one point Luna calls her people her children of the night or Something like that


I think it was planned because we'll everything you said I can't wait to tell my friends about your theroy!


I tink that Celestia and Luna are two princess for one Love, this love is Sister love. Sorry my english is Bad I come from Germany.


i am greek and all of the words you said were prounounced bad but it is ok!


love is the strongest bond of friendship Biblical quote


Friendship is manly that's a special kind of love


wait so you mean aphrodite named her son the sexual kind of love because aprodite 's son's name is eros


actullay in a music video called the childern of the night luna was useing the moon light to bring children to the moon so doesnt that mean she has children


I think Lauren Faust should change the title of mlp to mlp love is magic because I agreed with dis vid!


Twilight was an alicorn you want to be alicorn without cadence


Friendship is love love is friendship so they join up there's a link because you can love someone as a friend like the mane six<br>say that they love twilight.

Friendship is love love is friendship so they join up there's a link because you can love someone as a friend like the mane six
say that they love twilight.


"My little pony love is magic" is a great title too  o  and i almost forgot to question  why did they explode in Canterlot? is it love or a coinsidence. i  am not that smart to comment this  but keep this question in mind the question "why did they exploded in Canterlot?"  i  just wanted to know why because well ...... i dont know. Is it a chemical reaction or sceance or because of princess Candaces cutie mark?WAIT  how did  princess Candace even earn her cutie mark? did she earn  a beautiful gem like her cutie mark? or did she earn the gem of love? and i want to pronounce the storge (storhea).and why the word storge  bothering me so much.if we are in generation1,2,3,4 or whatever generasion..... is even generasion the same with dimension?. what if in other dimension are the same with the ponies in "my little pony".Awsome right.?even with cutie mark on ponies.


well i think you are right in that but i think it was not planed


i kinda agree but i don't think it was planed like this.


She does have children in one of his songs called come little children as little pony rights in a book at the end she say we will for ever be the children of the night


Love is basically is twilight 100 <br>Magic?...

Love is basically is twilight 100
Magic?...


She considers her subjects as her (children)


well they are creatures from greek mythology


Love is stronger then friendship because friendship is love but stronger


i think it actually says storg but is spelled storge


Ok so ya people bealeve love can be magic even IRL but they also think that can give off difrent types of love magic (magical love) love it can give off some kied of energy force like energy or trength or even nolbility but that is only if your love is strong enuf and the possibility of the 4 princesses being based off of 4 difrent types of love in the greek langwege and I would agree with u on luna being storge cause if u have herd the song come little children she is talking about her children of the night and in the vid it clerly shows that she loves them even when her dear older sister does not onet her to.


Have you ever heard children of the night?😸😸😸🎂🎂🎂<br>


Blew my mind no latterly i did not know that till now nice job notion as usual


Well, it was probity a quittance because MLP is not very mysterious on hiding things, well of what i experience


there is a song called "Children of the night"


If it was planned, your theory about Sunset becoming a princess is wrong.


This was planned out I bet! Curse u Megan Mcarthy for not saying this!!!! \^o^/


What was prinses cleasta past life when she was a kid??


Children of the Night. Luna has adopted children.


I think it was a Planned Coincidence... Wa...Wa....Wait... Or a Coincidence Planned??? Either Way. :D


Not being mean but would have thought you'd have a theme song or whatever by now, not just ''Friiiiieeeeeeennnndddsss''


look at twilight's kingdom theme... The Master Of Chaos ( Discord ) is in fluttershy's window.


Ok brownie notion love is pretty much friendship on steroids but to be more specific love is well I guess you can say steroids love is stronger than friendship I mean thank you very much very strong in the kitchen guess when the elements of harmony stronger than love comparison and plus the magic of foreign thats really powerful than love but I don't hope you read this because this is really important and going to Google Plus by


what about children of the night = children of luna


Yes that's true I could be the reason why Twilight alicorn


lona the night prises is the mom of the children


Ummmm love is friendship ok maybe but then if that was the title then younger viewers would get confused


And you pronounce wrong the greek words.


Cadence turned Twilight into a alicorn that's how Twilight turn into a alicorn is by cadence kiss when she was a kid meet in the comment


Twilight spend time with cadence when she was a little fhilly


For lunas sake im going to tell you that luna has children her children of the night as seen i  the music video childden of the night she sumons her children who folow her... #futurer luna republic

the gaming houns sam the gamer houns sam


Please stop putting picture were twilight s wings are pegasus-sized


Whach the season4 EP26 celeatiya clarly seas prince's of friendship


Yes maybe but if you think about it ......  pegasus  are from Greek mythology and many other things in the show. I don't know if you had watch another video that he explains that almost all the creatures at the show are from Greek mythology but you should watch it 😊


no a filly is s bad horse not a small horse and ponies are small to

This theory is amazing, and makes sense in every way.

Storge being Luna makes the most sense to me. I'm assuming here, but Luna never had a mother figure, so her trying to be that for others would make sense. And, although it isn't canon, the 'Children of the Night' video by DuoCartoonist supports that idea.

I dunno. Just what I think.


This had my mind blown! I think it's a pretty damn nice coincidence, although it would be awesome if the writers made this on purpose :3


@The Brony Notion Your statement on English only having one word for love was ALMOST right, but not quite. We have a second word for love: "lust". While most people would automatically think of the deadly sin, look at it this way: lust is a love of the body, while the English word "love" described a love of the mind, or a love of the soul, and simply encompasses all possible ways to love the mind or soul. Lust isn't something the Greeks particularly valued as far as I can tell, so they are unlikely to have a word for it, since the language of a people most definitely says something about those who speak it.

The fact is, the word "love" describes all kinds of love EXCEPT love of the body, while "lust" describes that kind of love that the first word is thought to exclude. It's anyone's says whether this indicates that Americans, or more likely Englishmen, value lust or detest lust.

In the context of Equestria, since they speak English (as shown by Twilight not having to learn a new language in Equestria Girls) but yet we don't have a Princess of Lust, we can assume that ponies detest vanity and so they have a single word to describe the forbidden variant of love that nopony talks about.


Well, most of the characters in MLP were originally based on Greek myths so it would make sense for you to use those 4 Greek words to explain the personalities each princess actually is. Sooooo, i guess you could say that i'm taking Brony Notions side because all of the information he's put out for the public to see actually makes sense.


Well the different types of love described are completely possible due to my little pony: friendship is magic is based on Greek mythology and the different types of love would fit right in with that theme. If you doing believe me that it is somewhat based on Greek mythology here are a few examples: Pegasi, chimeras, hydras, centaurs, Cerberus, griffons, etc.


You make a good theory but here's my thoughts. That each princess represents a part of harmony to elaborate I believe all four princesses are necessary to create harmony. It seems upon close inspection there are 4 things required to create harmony. 1. Peace 2. Balance 3.love 4. Friendship . I think Twilight misunderstood her purpose as princess she seems to rule over harmony more than friendship. Anyway back on topic it seems in in ascending order peace is fairly easily achieved and maintained as well as balance. But love is not so easily found and lastly the hardest is friendship and when brought together form harmony and the corresponding princesses are Celestia & Luna together create peace & balance,  Cadence spreads love but I have a plot twist I believe the mane six & Spike together create friendship for Twilight to care for, grow ,& defend as princess of harmony along with her lets just say court of friendship. Well that's my thought.


This actually makes so much sense. I need to blog about this. I don't think the four loves four princesses thing was intentional, at least not from the beginning, because Cadence wasn't going to be an alicorn. They may have done that after Lauren was off the show. Either way, my mind is officially blown.


Knowing the mythological and literary depths to which Lauren Faust delved for inspiration, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if our beloved princesses purposefully represent the four types of love as defined by the Greek language.


Knowing how the writers constantly include mythological creatures, a lot of them being greek (since that's apparently the only place where mythologicals come from), it would make sense that this was planned.


WELL... You see, Prince Blueblood is supposedly Celestia's nephew, which would make him Luna's son... Unless there's another royal sibling or... something. Also, you said there are 4 princesses for the 4 types of love. What about your theory on Sunset Shimmer becoming an alicorn- hence, a princess? Not trying to nitpick or anything, just some ideas.


Ever wondered how Queen Chrysalis and her minions seemed to be so similar to a bee infestation? Because She was once a different. Kind of like on the first episode of My Little Pony how the story of nightmare moon clearly showed how Celestia had a "Pink" mane. You may also have noticed in Twilights flashback of Cadence how she is shorter and her snout is a little more curved. Even at this possibility, some believe Luna used to have short blue non wavy hair. She did seem to have that in S1Ep2 of the show but then we notice her change of hair. Her Hair waved like Celestias but even though in one of the episodes Luna starred in she said something about how her magic finally being restored, she may have said that in EG1, though, That could have been true, but what about her Skin Color? It shows she changed through out the episodes a darker color. Notice how Twilight seem taller, meaning she is growing into a full alicorn and may turn out to actually live forever. All through out the My Little Pony episodes not once did they say Alicorns could die. Celestia banished her sister for 1,000 years and she probably would have needed food. Unless she ate her guards, I don't think a princess would have that many. Even for twilight she is the only princess with no guards, and no kingdom, unless she rules pony Ville which would have left the mayor no choice but to quit her job and work at the rock farm. The mistake is that Luna must have changed. All through out they talked about how Luna was "younger" for 1,000 years she must have been 10 so she would be distinctly 1,010 years old or slightly older. It talks about how Twilight was not celestias student anymore. She must have graduated and became an alicorn instead of getting a diploma. She would have been at least 20 leaving Luna a little more older. Notice they never said any of the ponies ages though. Cadence seemed to look almost but not quite like twilights form. Then 10 years later she is like Luna. But it could have been apparent she is 30 because the fact 10 years before twilight was born she must have been exactly formed like Twilight. So this all leads back to Queen Chrysalis. She seemed to have changed. She could have been good once and may have been celestias student. Kind of like sunset shimmer. But could Trixie have been one too? Also noticing Chrysalis may have changed and yet the sound of the buzzing from her minions, she may changed in such a way because she was jealous of not only cadence but celestia herself. Leaving no other choice but that she was not recognized by celestia and could have made that form change. Obviously her and her minions seemed alike but they may only have changed to seem like it for she could have been someone else. What if she were Trixie. The voice almost sounds like as if she were an older version of Trixie, yet an alicorn. If Trixie was a lost element, she could have been Lunas student. Leading up to 5 other mysterious ponies. Seeming to believe Daring do as the loyalty element, cheese Sandwich as the laughter element, Zecora as kindness, Fancy Pants as Generosity, and Little Strong Heart as Honesty. So Luna may have been a teacher to them. Alternatively making Trixie possibly an alicorn. They even add up to Luna. Trixies full name is Trixie LulaMoon, Daring Do obviously cared for Rainbowdash putting her in the book but yet they seemed side to side like loyal friends do, cheese sandwich obviously traveled but if he didn't have a home he may have been a pony in VanHoover, but though it's never been talked about yet, zecora not once turned evil and remained helpful and kind to every pony else, fancy pants was generous to invite rarity to places and was kind to give rarity's unfinished dress for twilight a spotlight in canterlot, and last but not least Little Strong Heart. She may have been little, but was strong fast brave and seemed to be nice, and honest. She didn't seem to sweat which usually meant a pony is lying. She was faithful to give a nicer point of her families tradition by handling it with care. And noticing applejack on the theme song says, Faithful and Strong. Both are a little different. Little Strong heart has it in her name. Trixie has "Moon" in her name. Little Strong Heart has heart in her name adding up to a "Loving Touch in a way." Of course Daring Do did not have rainbow-dashes colors but did have darker colors, like Luna because of night and day differences, then we find cheese sandwich a pony with a shirt. Almost like a brony. Could possibly be that faust knew a brony and may have added him in for a pinkie pie lover but that he was lonely cause didnt have a true home and so Luna would a company him on lonely nights. Then we realize how they say zecora is ,"Dark and Mysterious" she lives in the ever free forest and has lots of brews, she has a twist to every pony. Being as mesmerizing as possible even Luna was feared in her very own episode. Then we accomplish fancy pants. He is a stallion and very important leading he may be Lunas son. Saying that blueblood was celestias nephew it could have been true that it was Lunas son. Even then fancy pants was more gentle with rarity and had a blue mane almost Lunas hair color when she had shorter hair. He seemed to have hung around rarity like they met and they didn't  stop the focus. For Trixie as well had snips and snails as treated like minions, she had the alicorn amulet once and may have got it back to double them since it could do almost anything. She could have made them doubled until they were up to thousands. Then using her once true henchmen snips and snails returning them back to school and turning her new minions to regular pony base line. Since with the magic she could give them and herself forming powers. And as she being possibly an alicorn she would have been one too though she would have tried to look beautiful she messed up and took it out on her minions to look like her too. But this happened with sunset shimmer when she turned to a she demon she caused snips and snails to become like her too. It's all apparent now but the change of chrysalis being like a bee swarming isnt settled. Chrysalis may just have been a god long ago and a major enemy of what some people would say Lauren Faust, or Queen Galaxia. As Trixie knowing this. Almost like how twilight new about Night Mare Moon. She could have took her form using the alicorn amulet to cause these powers and try to take over equestria. So this is a good explanation. -Coco


Hi there! I just wanted to add/correct some little things dealing with the differences between philia and eros, in the conception of ancient Greeks. Ancient Greek and Latin culture are a big part of my studies (I'm in khâgne, which deals with philosophy, history, geography, french literature, English, Latin and ancient Greek), and as you may know, homosexuality was pretty well considered in these times, as relationships with another man were considered as the achievement of friendship. You would totally have sex with your philoi (friends), because it was the symbol of the mental and physical proximity you had with your friends (and it was a pretty strong word, usually you didn't have a lot of friends, you had only one or two max). The philoi was the person you asked for their advice about who your daughter should marry, or sometimes you could even ask them to take the virginity of your son, because it wasn't really well seen to let your virgin son marry someone, and fathers prefered to have confidence on the person their son would give his virginity to.<br>So yeah, in classical history, the notion of philos wasn't opposed to the notion of sexuality. :)

Oh, btw, στοργή is pronounced as "stor-gay" but without the "y" part. So yeah you say it right :)


Even if this wasn't planned by the writers, I still love this idea.


I doubt this was done on purpose. The fact that the 4 princesses represent the 4 types of love is most likely to be coincidental. Especially since not many are aware that there actually is more than one type of love.

But I must say that this does explain a lot. I mean I already figured out that Twilight represented philia and Cadence represented eros but I never went any farther. But it does make sense. Each princess faced trials of love and gained princess-hood after overcoming them (well we don't know about Celestia but still). And it would make sense for the show not to include that in the title as it is meant to appeal towards a younger audience. Plus, despite the shows obvious focus on philia, there are episodes with a bit more romance or sisterly love or whatever else.

But it does bring up a serious question, these are only the princesses that we know of. So if there were more princesses, would they also represent some form of love? And if they don't, would it mean that magic isn't just love? (since alicorns obviously represent magic as well as love)

This is a very great theory. <br>Makes me wonder if there is a theory that can tell if Discord has a sister that represents Harmony and is the goddess of harmony.

Love is a billion times more powerful than friendship. It is feeling deep down inside someone while friendship is open to everyone on the surface.


It's weird how the word "Philia" is described as a love between friends, equals and platonic affection...Yet the same word is partly used to describe devious sexual attractions, such as zoophilia and pedophilia.

@Mordlysten Philia is just another way of saying attraction. Also-both zoophilia and pedophilia are not 'devious' they are 'deviant'. There's a difference.


Hmmm ... you make a very interesting point here. I'm an author who is writing a story that also touches a lot on Greek Myth and you have just alerted me to a research project that I need to make. Thanks for the heads-up!


<b>still binge-watching</b> Might this analogy to Greek kinds of words have anything to do with how many Greek mythological creatures have appeared in the show? Perhaps there are more Greek elements to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic... Perhaps one of the writers has strong Greek ties? Or just a great interest!

Luna is Agape and Celestia is Storge.

Luna loves and protects many who will never know she's loved them much less return the affection. She's the one who's learning to love unconditionally. Her love is more like Agape than Storge.
Celestia on the other hand, has a motherly relationship with her subjects and proteges. She's ever reciprocated and always guiding and nurturing. Her love is more like Storge than Agape.


That is a great theory but I was thinking that the princesses all represented a certain magic or element. Even though we know the elements of harmony, could there be elements for the princesses. Like of course twilight would represent the element of magic and Princess cadence would represent the element of love and Celestia with represent the element of the light and Luna would represent the element of dark. I know this is kind of stupid theory but I just thought I'd put it out there.


I have a question. Prince Blueblood. In the episode Ticket Master, Rarity says that Prince Blueblood is Celestia's nephew. Yet the only known sibling of Celsetia is Luna. And Luna was trapped on the moon for a thousand years, and we haven't seen her in a romantic relationship with anypony, so, how is Prince Blueblood possible? And I kind of doubt that either of the Princesses would ignore that Blueblood is well, how he is. I would think that one of them would help raise him into more of a gentlecolt. So, um, is there a reasonable theory for Prince Blueblood?


I actually like this idea quite a bit.
It kind of fits with the idea that Luna originally was going to be named Selene, the greek word for moon.

As for the discussion on Sunset Shimmer.
There are other words that describe love, some of which could fit her.
The one who fits the best would probably be philautia, the love of self.
Where Narcissism is an unhealthy obsession with ones own fame and fortune, philautia is a love of self that enhances your capacity to love others.

The idea was that if you like yourself and feel secure in yourself, you will have plenty of love to give others

This self-confidence, or self-compassion, is actually also a basic idea in Buddism which could explain Sunsets cutie-mark but since she started out in the unhealthy side, her mark is unbalanced.

Her journey from Narcissism to Philautia can actually be seen in the EQ movies.
The first movie shows her in full Narcissistic mode.
In the second movie we see her constantly beating herself up over past flaws, having lost almost every single bit of love for herself to a point where she can't even make herself join into the group, even to help when the group is having problems.
In the end the day is saved when she gains enough confidence to work past her doubts.

Her singing in the finale Shows the transformations completion, at that point she have found enough balance in her love of self, that she could start to give out of it.


It is a good thoery but I think there may need to be more insight on Luna, I know she's not in many episodes it makes it hard but i would need more convincing about Luna's type of love.


MIND = BLOWN<br>this is a great theory! if the creators of the show did that on purpose, than they maybe clever than we thought...

I tried to explain why I think the metaphor didn't work for Luna, but gosh, I just ended up proving it right and deleting the whole comment. You're right, she plays the role of guidance and wisdom and just like a parent, isn't always perfect. This is some great rational that really ties the princesses together in a way the show itself doesn't seem to do well. I will be looking for more proof of this in season five if they ever get around to showing any other princesses that Twilight. :D Not that I'm complaining. She's a pretty great pone.


Switch Luna and Celestina's love.<br>Luna never gets anything in return for her moon but Celestial is like a mom watching over everyone.

Hey Brony Notion if you watch "Children of the night " you may find out that the ponies in that torn down village actually that Princess Luna as their mother so her representing Storge love actually makes sense<br>


Wait if they made a love blast and the changelings feed on love then wouldn't the love blast super charge the changelings?


Well, Maraige is when 2 souls unite, Friendship is where 2 or more ( unless you are friends with yourself ) Living beings come together and enjoy eachother , But their is some sort of Love in friendship, a love to be together and enjoy life. So the Love is not the same.


This is truly intriguing. Nice work man.


I'm sure that they are all the princesses of love cause I analyzed it  and everything you said was basically right!!!:)


I think this was made in purpose since Lauren Faust she made up the characters and said that they had a special bond and she said it was type of magic that was not friendship which in conclusion according to the video it is love


It seems Hasbro did it in purpose- all princesses have the personallity of the kind of love the should represent. So yeah, it's on purpose.


What if those two that cadence made fall in love were daughter and father, I think this because the girl said that all of her friends were getting their nails done so she could that sounds more like a father daughter talk than a couple talking


Well... it would make sense... Lauren Faust was studying Greek myths and such at the time so...<br>Its a pretty good theory

Well... it would make sense... Lauren Faust was studying Greek myths and such at the time so...
Its a pretty good theory


YOU ARE A GENIUS!! I completely agree with your theory, loved the pun by the way xD


I think it was planned. I mean MLP was kind of based off of like Greek Stuff. They all play a role associated with gods and goddesses. For example Cadence is like Aphrodite. The goddess of love and beauty. While Luna is represented as Selene the goddess of the Moon. I think this was no coincidence.


Love it! No words at all so now I am going to be speechless for the rest of the night


You know that there's a fan animation called "children of the night" and princess luna sings I'm surprised you didn't mention this


I think there are different "is magic" its like the green lantern for example, this is "love is magic" and then we have got the "dis" harmony (I like to them un friendship) and then about sunset shimmer I think there I place for and I think she is the element of forgiveness and there could be some or it my theory I guess but anyway the green lantern has different rings on basing the colour of there rings ( and in MLP guessing how they react ) so what do u think and in season 5 there could be an new Element or something idk see ya!


I found it funny that one type of love was called agape, and there's a school in my town called agape... Maybe that's why!


What if Princess Luna has a son?  In the episode The Ticket Master, when Rarity was explaining to Twilight why she deserved the ticket to the Gala, she said Celestial would introduce her to her nephew.  That means Luna would have to have a son for Celestial to have a nephew.  Hmmmmmm...


Actually for all we know, Prince Blue Blood is Luna's son, because we don't know of any other royal brothers or sisters and they call Prince Blue Blood CELESTIAS niece so, There for Luna is probably a mom... Hasbro didn't think that out too well


I think this theory maybe true. What if Hasbro is trying to show more than just friendship????


It was probably planned cause if twilight wasn't a alicorn the the 3 princess' and one uniform will show the 4 types of love in the Greek language.  It's the reason twilight became a alicorn so each princess shows a form of love.


I wonder if there can be a hate magic, something like the elements of disharmony.


I think it was planned, Lauren Faust put a few things right under our noses on purpose even though we may not know it. Supporting your theory, did you realize how most of the monsters (oh wait, I think all) in MLP:FiM are Greek, just like the four types of love!

@***** I don't really think that it is weird, and I agree with you

@HappyPonyJunior It's not really that weird. Greek mythology has been the go-to mythology since ancient times. Many societies since then have incorporated Greek myth's into their own so it only makes sense for modern myths to do the same.


I think that friendship  is more powerful because the ponys love each other and there about friendship


Can storge be love towards siblings since Luna is Celestia's sister?


I think that u might be right on the luna one but luna does has children well technically because in their dream she ats to them like a daily visiter of the night in their dreams or some kind of companion

And i have prof seach up this video "children of the night" it proves my point here


Love,
By Zid

Love has an ebb and a flow.
Some times it can come and then go.
You can be up and away flying free
And then crashing right down to your knees.

It can claw at your soul like a beast,
Like a troll on a stroll's been released.
It can come in a breath and a sigh-
Like it could outlast death and not die.

One thing that your love needs to prosper
Is for hope within hearts to be fostered.
If you nurture the flame you've ignited
there's a good chance your love stays united.

Most important is to honor respect;
Without it you should not connect.
Just remember to love yourself, K?
Don't let self-hate get in your hearts way.


So, Luna's personal, Celestia's general, Twilight's platonic, and Cadence is romantic? Cool.


What if Luna appears younger than celestia in the show because of the phrase, "the night is still young"? I hope not -.-


This was defiantly planed. THINK ABOUT IT! mlp:FiM is filled with Greek mythology. Griffins, Phoenix, Pegasus, e.c.t. There is plenty of evidence proving this theory right!<br>Anyone else agree?

i always knew that Luna would be a great mother i even shipped a endermen<-- <b>one of my characters</b>  and Luna together so that Luna would be a mother

i always knew that Luna would be a great mother i even shipped a endermen<-- *one of my characters*  and Luna together so that Luna would be a mother


THE POWER OF LOVE (cadence and shining armor)


Twilight = princess of friendship
Cadence = princess of love
Celestia/ Tia = princess of the sun and day
Luna/night mare moon = princess of the moon/night

Sorry if I splet anything wrong


The cmc should become the 3 students of Luna in season 5


Hmmm... I thought storge was pretty much the same thing is philia? And what about mania, ludus, and pragma?


Greek words for love:
1.Philia = Φιλία
2.Εros = Έρος
3.Αgapi = Αγάπη
4.Storgi = Στοργή

I'm Greek that's all!^^


definitely not coincidence also mop follows Greek mythology remember Cerberus he's Greek as well


I think Celestia and Luna are a bit forced but Cadence and Twilight make sense.


What if Luna and calectia had parents and that where life and death witch Luna was worried she would take on death so she wanted eternal darkness so she would never feel sad or alone. That's probably also why she was jealous she thout that her sister was life and no one wants to die. Also she would feel bad for taking another ponies lifen


I THINK that when Hasbro was making the show a greek guy came in and inspiered the 4 princesses


wait in one ep ( big mack and cmc teacher one ) cmc get to know not to force love.... wow and then you have a princess how does it...


i wonder, is love magic. but if it is then would almost every one have magic


U may think that could pretty much be only one right? Well if u think about it well it could honestly be both!♥


I BELEOVE THIS WAS FREAKIN PLANNED...brony and proud!<br>


Maybe Luna is a mother. Because from the best night ever episode Prince Blue Blood is Celestia's nephew so he could be Luna's child because Celestia doesn't have a brother or another sister. Or does she?...


This sounds pretty true...... 🐴

Mind blown!


Why do people say there can't be anymore alicorns? Where does it say there can't be more then 4? Is being a alicorn royalty resetrected? While I know how alicorn a become alicorns what if a normal pony found there true porous. I would love for you to make a video on this topic, thank you for your time.<br>~sketched~

So what your saying is that love is in each princess's element


Dude I subscribed  to you because you don't think like other bronies do and I didn't recanize this until  now  and thank you for your time and hoof bump


See you just made a video today about how sunset could be the 5 alicorn so what would she be (hope she not a alicorn 🙏)


Nice theory! Also, 1:17 are you familiar with Skullgirls?


Greek words agapi, filia,erotas(because eros in in ancient greek)and try to read"storge"this way:storgi.All the words in greek are αγάπη, φιλία, έρωτας και στοργή.

Δήμητρα Αβραάμ


Greek words for Love:
1.Φιλία
2.Έρως or Έρωτας
3.Αγάπη
4.Στοργή
Btw good job on the pernasiation Notion not as acurate but still pretty good for an american lol XD


But, it's stated that Cadance is Celestia's NIECE, so wouldn't that make her Luna's DAUGHTER!!!! I think too much


I think this is planned because mlp has a ton of greek mythology in it the main species the monster or greek mythology


I think Luna look's after the children of the night <br>

How about  romance as another English word for love?


by far the greatest brony analysis brony. first one i watched...


It's not magic because friendship is love of friends and love is family


If all the princess are love what that leave of gerunds will they still be doing there job on there point as a princess .


This video is ripe for sooo many jokes. Many, if not all, are immature.
(I would put time stamps, but since I'm doing this on my phone, YouTube doesn't allow for pausing and typing)

1) "...The mane 6 love each other, but just not romantically."
Despite what many Bronies say, write, think, or want.
2) "...Cadence is the princess of Eros, a more intimate kind of love.."
Yeah it is! ;D (also funny in that 'Eros' is the base word for 'Erotic')
3) "...loving without getting in return..."
Hey Celestia, how does it feel to be Luna? When ponies disregard your hard work?
4) (one of his pronunciations of 'storge' (I don't know how to pronounce it either so I shouldn't talk))
Luna is the princess of corgi love. The love given from corgi, to master.

I warned you guys that they would be immature. All low hanging fruit.

With a bit more effort, I could rub out some more.  :I


Maybe friendship is the most powerful and see there is more then one holder to magic of friendship and romance


What if princess gold Lily and princess sterling are in season 5 of MLP


what about Rarity.  she stands for generosity.  shouldn't she be apart of this channel.


ok its like this in frozen the trolls say anna needs trou love but the love is sister love well freindship

Василь Рюхтін


Can Luna have a filly because she seems to be a very good ..... Umm mom. But I may be wrong. ( Luna Rules :)


Well, makes sence, but no. Love is magic would be a better title because (love is for stupid girls-SHUT UP TOMMY) while love would be the whole focus, Twilight is the main character and she is the love for friends. So, access denied.


freindship is magic so freindship beats love


Why does twillight have Pegasus wings??!!


Sure, Princess Luna doesn't really have any kids but there is a song she sings: Children of the Night. (I love that song).


Hey twilight is my favorite shes not a witch.


I think love is magic. Yeah.............😀


I made a book that called top the love is magic!!😨😱


My thoughts? This is another reason for me to go to Greece.


What if of an episode of season 5 was named aunt twilight (or twiley)


...        I'm totally confused even though I'm a girl


Hey! What about twilight, she had a crush on flash


Luna loves her children of the night from that video


I think cadence and shining are agape, but on the whole she's known for eros


Luna is a nightmaren. Night MARE-in nightmare.... YOU HAVE ME MAKING PONY PUNS!!!! XD


i think you should watch Children of the nigth then you will get it  : )


LUNA HAS CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT!  LISTEN TO THE SONG

Buy our toys by our toys by our toys by our merchandise


Love your theory! It makes so much sense! I believe it was planned. It shows how the show has even greater ties to Greek myth and so on. Love it!💗💗


I think you're on to something. Since the show is heavily influenced by Ancient Greek mythology they might go into that. The only thing that I found wrong is agape would more likely be Luna because in Luna Eclipse even when everybody fears her she still tries to help them and love them. Celestia however would be Storge since she was meant to be a more motherly figure.


When you said that you were going to make a new remix I thought you were going to do "Perfect Stallion" since that was a Valentine episode, but "This Day Aria" is a better song in my opinion.

I really like your idea, though I don't this could've been planned, at least not at the start anyway. Since I know I heard somewhere that Lauren never planned for Cadence to exist because there was only going to be the two princesses, but it is possible that the writers thought of this after Lauren had left MLP.

Though, is Chrysalis a Queen of love? Since that's what they eat and she has to get love for her subjects, I don't know. It's really different from what you were talking about but I'm still wondering what the Changelings are? I mean why do they need love to survive? Where did they obtain the power to transform, because normally the only things that can use magic are Unicorns, Alicorns, Discord and Pinkie Pie. Don't you tell me with a straight face that Pinkie doesn't have any sort of magic. Anyway, so just what are they? And if they can turn into anything then why do the resemble mini Alicorns? There's so much we don't know about them and I wanna know! Let them come back in Season 5 Hasbro! C'mon give us something, please?


Love and Friendship are two different things but are also one in the same. They're close which explains why Candace and Twilight have such a strong relationship. Because both Love and Friendship connect.


This is probably a coincidence, but this is freaking great!! I love all of your theory videos!


Hey cool--this a theory I've been working on for a while and I broadly agree with your version.  Just a note though--Storge, while typical of parent-child relationships, more generally describes "natural affection": love born out of the relationship, rather than a relationship born out of love.  For example, Luna loves Celestia because they're sisters (side note: it's when this love is twisted by jealousy/sibling rivalry that she becomes Nightmare Moon!).
Moreover Agape can be understood as "unconditional love": you love them whether or not they love you back and no matter what they do--as Celestia loves Luna (and as Celestia loves her subjects).
One of the interesting things this brings up: each Princess has a partner (or partners) through which her version of Love/Magic is generated.  Luna and Celestia have each other, Twi has her friends, and Cadence has Shining Armor.  So what would happen if the Princesses lost their partners?  Would their power be reduced?  Would they need to find a new partner?  Food for thought. :)


A great video indeed. I have an idea for a new video as well. I've always wondered about Celestia's en Luna's parents. I know we can only speculate about this subject, but I wonder what their part was in their world, if they created it, if they died or not and many other questions


Very interesting, since Psychology has found that we by and large look for similar traits in friends as we do lovers.  However, I don't think this was intentional, considering parallels to other mythologies that I've noticed.  I would be most interested to see what Carl Jung had to say on the topics of friendship and love since it may be, considering his theory on the collective unconscious, that we're talking about similar concepts but with different names.


Twilight and Cadance being princesses of philia and eros respectively does seem reasonable, but for Celestia and Luna it I don't think that their aspect of love are quite so much significant parts of who they are. Celestia may be a representation of agape within Equestria, but her destiny as shown by her cutie mark is to be the princes of the sun, and the same goes for Luna and the moon. The most prominent aspects of love for the respective princess does make sense, but I don't think this connection to the aspect of love is not the same for the different princesses.


While this is true to some extent, the 4 princesses=the 4 types of love, the show undoubtedly the story of Twilight Sparkle as the main protagonist, while the other 3 princess are supporting characters. So it can be said the show MLP: Friendship is Magic, focusing on one type of love, Philia & the Princess that embody it.

If the show did have the 4 princesses on equal standing plot-wise, or at least have all of them be protagonists & all 4 types of love explored equally, then maybe this can be MLP: Love is Magic... possible G5 theme?


First of all, I LOVE this day aria!!!!!!!! I was going to ask you to do a remix of that song, but now I don't have to because you are making a rimix of it soon!! Yay! Also, I agree with you about the love thing and how each princess represents a kind of love in Greek because if you think about it, most of my little pony is based on Greek mythology. I know this is long, but I had a lot to say after this analysis. :)


That's a fairly interesting theory, The Brony Notion.
If I may throw in my own two cents, maybe it was planned. There are things people do that are carefully researched.
This might not be a well-fitting anology, but bear with me.
A user here on YouTube named TheMysteriousMrEnter has had a review of "I! My! Me! Strawberry Eggs" in the works for some time. He has said himself that he has to do a lot of research on the Japanese views on homosexuality from the time that the movie came out in in order for him to be able to word himself carefully and correctly.
Maybe the resemblance between the princesses and the four types of love was planned, but that brings up a few questions:

How the hell did Celestia know that Twilight was one of the four?
Is she psychic?
Can she see into different parts of time?
Did Luna and Cadence know as well?
If so, how?

Then again, it might be kind of hard for anybody to analyze and answer those questions.
After all, people seem to think that time is a straight line from Point A to Point B, but it's not. Time's a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey...stuff.

Best explanation yet.~ You do have a strong point with The four Princesses representing the four kinds of love in Greek terms.~


I really wish Hashbro Studios would watch your theroy videos, even if they are just fans guessing! Yeah, I think love is a Romantic version of friendship. Also the differant kinds of love you gave the princessess was pretty spot on! Do you think Princess Celestia is the 'God' of MLP? I mean, she's agape, ponies bow to her, and she is royalty. <3


@The Brony Notion
I rewatched the crystall kingdom episodes, and i've got an interesting question about it:
Was the succes song planned, or was it made up on the spot?
I believe the latter, but would like to hear your oppinion about this.


Well considering the show is littered with references to greek mythology it's probably safe to assume this was a planned in advance somewhat but not from the very beggining as we all know cadence and twilight being princesses was just Hasbro wanting to sell a new line of pony toys, however the show staff might have always planned on having characters with these traits, just not originally princesses.


It would make sense that this could have been planned. Taking into account what you said and the fact that they reference greek mythology a lot in the show


Maybe it was planned or maybe it just came to be and then writers said "hey, it's like 4 types of Greek love... hey, maybe it's a good idea to keep it" "D when I try to develop my own stories it oftenly works this way xD But anyway, really nice video! Keep it man :3


I like this theory and it certainly fits with the princesses' characters.


You know.. For a show made for little girls. It is rather amazing that is can actually provoke some very intelligent conversation. Epically since most serious fans of many groups tend to be rather mean and insulting about things. At least in my experience.


This makes a lot of sense. But, I think the writers are trying to focus on friendship, and friendship is a type of love. So, friendship is the theme. Although other types of love is shown through out the show, friendship is the making focus.


Those of us who watch the ABC show, Once Upon A Time. You may be familiar with Rumpelstiltskin saying that true love is, indeed a powerful magic.

One that he himself has never been able to get his hands on.

In this case, that belief is true. Sadly; in most circles, people don't believe in the idea of true love anymore


I'm Greek so I know the meanings of these words! So philia is friendship, agapi and eros can be the same thing but eros is more powerful (the newest edition of eros is erotas) and storge is caring! I hope I helped ,in a way! Also when , we , Greeks say "I love you" we mean it in more than those 4 words


Since there wasn't any original intension to make Twilight a princess I can't say that the four princess' falling into the four Greek categories of love was intentional.<br>Friendship is magic is the better title in my opinion. Though I agree with the idea of friendship being a category of love, the show focuses on friendship specifically because it is the most fundamental kind of love. It's the foundation. You can't have a stable relationship with anyone unless you can be a friend to them. This show focuses on what it means to be a friend and how to overcome personal obstacles without losing what makes you a good friend. The elements of harmony is a good example of this. They don't work alone and each one is empowered by a virtue that can stabilize a relationship.

Wow, you really know how to come up with great topics!


I'm quite new to mlp, but i have watched almost all the episodes, and i really think you are right!It would really make sense, but i think it's possible it's kinda a perfect coinsidence(is that how you write it:P) but i still think it's awesome!😁 Btw-Yay, i LOVE this day aria😍


Well, the show does have allot of ties to Greek mythology, so it's not too far fetched


Looking at this video made me think about the parent thing. Where did Luna and Celestia come from anyway? If they control the sun and the moon then you'd think that they've always been there. But in the episode... When there's the play about when Unicorns Pegasi and Earth ponys were separated and hated each other, you know? Well wouldn't Celestia and Luna try to unite them? Try to make sense of this!


Awesome video notion,as always. I think they only used Friendship is Magic instead of Love is Magic because this show has mostly a little kid population watching it and little kids would most likely be able to understand the meaning of friendship over the meaning of love. Cuz friendship is a lot easier to understand than love. For example,u can get a new friend in preschool or kindergarten. But u can't fall in love as easily. U have to be an adult or late teen to understand the true meaning of love.


Storge is pronounced store-gae.  I think that this is more coincidence than planned, but the four Princesses do represent the four types of love and that the producers can use this in later episodes.


Seeing that the show is based upon greek mythology the four types of love for each princess sounds reasonable I like ^^


oh my gosh this ties in with the fact that most creatures in the show (manticore etc.) are from Greek mythology.


I think your correct as I saw a video on the mythological villains and they said that equestra could have been made from the myths and legions from the greaks

That u did lol sorry I didn't realise that you are the one that did the video


It does seem like a lot of stuff in MLPFIM is based of Greek Mythology so it does fit. but I noticed something strange when watch episode 1 and 2 of season 1.

Four stars do reach the moon. and we have four characters that relate to stars. Twilight Sparkle. Twilight always come after Sunset. and stars appear during twilight. and we have starswirl. Luna controls the moon  five if you count Celestia.

There is something big in the future of MLPFIM and it will make us question all the known facts.


I have to disagree with you(which is really my first time doing it) when you said "love is not friendship" well i think love is friendship as you can see when you are friends with your friend are i could say "best friends" you really care about them and don't wanna brake their friendship just like how you have a relationship with a guy and you care about him/her and you don't want to brake relationships with him/her that's love because you love your friend enough to make them be your "best friend" that's where the explanation of the word "best friend" came from<br> and besides ever heard of "you get love like THAT!" or "You get friends like THAT!" well the place where it says "LIKE THAT" is really true because if you're not really shy but you're shy of making friends then you won't get friends quickly but like how twilight did not want friends she got friends like that! which also means you get friends like magic

I think it could of been planed because they all do show different kinds of love and Luna is like a mother to all Phillies ...😳... So maybe it was planned so people could think about it and might believe they are all related in a way so that they could have been though out for there parents to make them all princesses, the mother and father of the day and night princesses might of been like mini gods and goddess's for the show and either the mother or father could of divorced other pony's to be with each other and those pony's that are not shown might have been married to celestials and Luna's parents before and might have been related to cadence and twilight!... How do u like them apples!?!😗


Also for Luna being the princess of Storge, she also likes children because... Children of the Night? In Luna's let it go, the statues she made were statues of fillies. Also, in the musical mini series by Magpiepony, Celestia says, "Don't you love children?"


Hey,can you do another video on Princess Cadence after you remix This Day Aria?Because there is just something about her name that I found.Princess Mi Amorè Cadensa.Just listen to it.Mi amorè is French for Eros.Her being the Princess of Love isn't a coincedence.I mean,com'on.Her name is basically the word love for Celestia's sake.Please do a video on this I really want to see one!


well most fillies are "children of the night" luna is the princess of the night. So luna must serve as a parent to the children. this tells me your luna theory is correct


omg your so smart thank you for making the show so much more interesting with your theories!!


Celestia and Luna are demigods. <br>There "mother" is The Faustacorn (Larun Faust's pony) and she is basicly the creator of equestria. Celestia and Luna are th gods on earth, kinda like how ancient cultures beleaved there kings were gods in human form.

in the episode "canterlot Wedding" shining armor and Cadince get rings on there horns for the sign of marriage like humans do on there fingers. But what about earth ponys and pegisy( sorry for my spelling) ? how do they where rings? Also why dont shining armor and cadince ever where there rings in the following episodes?


Abour greek language :1) correct
2)correct
3)a(then comes the w from watermelon)api
4)When you first told the word,I couldn't even recognise it but storgi→g is y(from Yellow)  and i is like Impossible.


Frienship is a stronger version of love, but that goes for someone special, and love is a verison of friendship that goes directly to friends ;)


Wouldn't celestia  be like representing the parent child love Luna shows but instead of parent it would be sister......idk but your theory was awesome as usual


I need a little help understanding something about the elements of harmony <br>I know that all elements are need for making friends but there are three major thing need for making friends that the show left out and that would be sacrifice, understanding and compromise soooooo here what I want to know 1 why do u think the show left that out and 2 if the show made new elements to fit the gapes who would be the wielders?

You know,changelings are the opposite the sirans . Why is that so? Changelings feed off of=love. Sirans feed off of =hatetred, and is
 that all they eat.


Actually I come from Greece and "Storge" pronounced "Storgy" and in Greece we write it like this "στοργή"


Can we all agree that the Princesses are still useless, even if they all represent love?
Well, at least Celestia. Luna actually helps ponies :P
(Kidding, I'm just kidding)


you said the exact link between friendship and love friendship and love are different kinds of affection so are Eros and Storge


So much love, I did not know that there were four different types of love


Haha my mlp calendar has cadence and shining in their wedding stuff and it says "TRUE LOVE" on top.


Love may be a kind of magic the four princesses there is a balints to this each of them faced a villain in a cople of epsodes cadints faced sombra luna and celesta are sisters so they face discord together twilight luna


"The mane six love eachother, but not in a romantic way." TAKE THAT, SHIPPERS!!! MWAHAHAHAHHAA!


well now that you think of it, the Greeks had a HUGE selection of gods. there are only 4 princesses/ gods AND talk of 2 new alicorns on their way with season 5..... POSSIBLY Greek stuff going on here :|. i personally think that they will turn the main six into alicorns, with the huge castle in Ponyville with SIX thrones for each element. i mean if you have a princess of friendship why not have princesses of Loyalty,Honesty,Kindness,Laughter, and Generosity? i don't know i see millions of ways they can take this.


If even 25% of therories were planned then WOW. As such, I'm not sure if this was planned, but it's very possible......


Oh My Josh, that makes complete sense!  Can't wait for that remix ;P


So I can not help but take this leap.
Luna is being motherly. Celestia has s nephew. Perhaps 1000 years ago Luna was a mother and her nurturing is in a way her attempt to make up for the mothering she missed out on.....
Idk this may be s bit far


how funny would it be if all of the stuff in MLP are happy coincidences and hasbro had none of these ideas in mind?


It wad both because the fist time we saw Candace her character moral was love love of friend ship love for others u get my point

i get it love is a big friendship between a male and a female


I don't know if it's just me or if some other people have noticed this too...Princess Cadence is the ONLY princess that is married, (hint hint) we all know the Twlight is not married, but maybe because she is too young. On the other hand Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are older than Princess Cadence and they aren't married either. So my question is why is Princess Cadence, the princess of love married, and yet no one else is no matter what there age?

@Sonal Aggarwal please make it happen, the joke is going too far would they just fall in love already, jeez!.

@Sonal Aggarwal Well they would make a cutie couple, and Twilight and Flash did show a slit interest in MLP equestrian girls movie.

WHAT IF TWILIGHT MARRIES FLASH SENTRY IN SEASON 5 O.o

Well, since Celestia and Luna are kinda immortal, they may have had lovers in the past who've died or just decided not to risk that kind of suffering.  Twi appears to be too young to get married, or even seriously consider a relationship (Rarity's the only one we've seen give it any thought, and it seemed fairly superficial both times).  As people have pointed out, there's also a lot more mares than stallions running around, yet marriage appears monogamous, suggesting that many mares do not marry at all.


Even if they did plan since i belive back in season one that did say the only plan for 2 alcorns it is still a cool thing


What role do Celestia and Luna play towards friendship?


this is pretty true and why not i love my friends not in a romantic way but like a friend


Honestly, I think it was a coincidence. Maybe not the whole time, but at the very least at the beginning. Remember Lauren Faust she didn't want more than 2 princess/alicorns, now I am not saying it isn't possible that at some point stopped being a coincidence. Hell it could have stopped being a coincidence, when Cadence showed up. After all much like twilight the princess of love wasn't originally an alicorn, she was born a pegasus. Now even though this could possibly give her some lea way with how and what she does. Kinda like how Twilight still lives in ponyvile and goes where ever her friends go, but even so. Since when would a princess of any kind especially a not fully grown one (since they leave us to assume teenage years), would be allowed to babysit a random pony and please don't say it is because she wanted to get close to Shining armor (by this I am asking not to bring the comics as proof.) Twilight didn't even have her cutie mark yet, so at this point she truly just random.

>.> I am going to stop blathering and say long story short.
At first Coincidence, now possibly on purpose.


love and friendship are two thing that you cannot break apart, you cannot have friendship without love.


PLEASE tell me what song you use in your theories ;( I've been searching for so long

Thanks so much!!!!! Been searching forever

Sorry! It's called "the cutie mark crusaders go crusading"! Not Darude sandstorm XD


Yeah new remixes coming! Your remixes are awesome


storge=luna,and tia is like a mother to luna she cared for her when she was young....or was that just the fanfics?ah what ever i still say that storge=luna for anouther reason,that tia is like a mom to luna and luna is like a kid to tia.


I would give you two horns up, but unfortunately I'm just a UNIcorn. :T

great video as always, anyhoof!


Well, if anyone that created MLP, is greek or knows how to speak it, then YES it was planned otherwise...


I think on accident because it would be like Love Is Magic, or Magic Is Love?


I think your theory is correct because mlp does sometimes kinda copy other things like Harry Potter and many other things as u said in an old video theory


Maybe that's why there are hearts in the logo......? I just thought that at the end of the video when you showed the MLP logo. XP


Couldn't cadence use that love power to do wrong


If you guys are really mlp fim lovers call netflix and complain about them taking this show off spread the word about this lets keep mlp on netflix bronies and pegasisters


Can  you  please  upload  more  my  little  pony  friendship  is  magic  videos


this video is GREAT!  You might have not looked at my comment but do you thing in the movie EG theres a another baby dragon? because in that movie there was a another dog in the movie dirong when twilight was walking like a pony and then she ses a person walking his dog. Just asking plz keep upbthe good work! :D


Does princess celestia have  more sister  or has luna had a child

Because the ticketmaster , rarity says that prince blue blood is celestia's nephew so how is prince blueblood celestia's nephew if luna hasn't had a child?????

 rarity says this when talking about the second ticket and going to the gala


whoaaaa I never would have thought that.... I wonder if it was a coincidence or if it was actually planned...


i think it was planed by the makeres of the show it cant just be a kawinsadense


Yeah, but where does Chrysalis come in?(if that's how you spell it.)


Let's get all the memes

AND PONIFY THEM

Let's get all the memes

AND PONIFY THEM


so which came first, magic of love or magic of friendship


i think there will be a episode in season 5 about luna and her nightmares


And then Season 5 comes out and brutally DESTROYS this entire theory.


You could make a video about the fall of the crystal empire :3


At 3:14  well there is a song and the intro ends with "we are her children of the night"

At 3:14  well there is a song and the intro ends with "we are her *children* of the night"


I saw the Happy Valentines thing and I lost it because I'm still closeted and I will never get a girlfriend friend shit


Basically every pony except Shining Armor sounds alright just saying their first name.........if you know what I mean.


Um notion? If love isn't friendship it's unknown. But it is. The love is a devotion of life


That was interesting. They planned I guess.


Just got another subscriber RIGHT HERE!  <-----  P.S. You should do why are small ponds called filled when adult ponies are tentically horses so why isn't it MyLittleHorsie


Brony notion I have a theory for why celestias and Luna's hair is the way it is I was looking at pictures of king Soren when I saw the Sam thing by his eyes then I saw a pic of celestia being possessed by the same magic from his eyes and I found out that its there magical essence thank for the great videos which helped me to do this This is natasha block signing off till the next video BRO HOFE


well, now we wait for the fifth princess to break the theory. cue princess Derpy Hooves (or Ditzy Doo)


+The Brony Notion<br>I find it a bit wrong how Cadence changed that bickering couple, they obviously had problems and Cadence just whams her way in and makes them hot for each other again. What are your thoughts

+The Brony Notion
I find it a bit wrong how Cadence changed that bickering couple, they obviously had problems and Cadence just whams her way in and makes them hot for each other again. What are your thoughts

I agree, it's one of the more disturbing displays of power, but it really depends on what exactly Cadence did to them.  It could be she simply drew on the Eros in their relationship, why they fell in love in the first place--though if their problems are serious, Cadence's spell won't last long.


Okay dude, when are you going to make a video I can actually dislike? But there were a few flaws. I get where you're going with the Greek love thing, but that also doesn't make sense. I think that Luna and celestia's roles in love are compatible. You can definitely see the motherly love in celestia, especially with twilight and the other ponies, and only a mother would go through everything they do for her kids, even if it's not recognized. And Luna helps all the ponies, not just the cmc. And sometimes her help may not be recognized. For example, she gave some obvious hints in sweetie belle's dream, and in scootaloo's too, and they totally didn't notice.

Maybe it makes more sense if you go back to the original meaning of Agape: Unconditional Love, as in, "I love you no matter what", which lines up pretty well with Celestia's affection for Luna.  Meanwhile, Storge is often characterized as Natural Love--the affection arising from a relationship (usually familial), rather than the other way around.  This isn't as strong/impervious as Agape and Wiki mentions that it is also used to describe a subject's relationship to a tyrant (like Nightmare Moon . . . ?) but I'm having trouble finding their source for that so, idk.

Yeah, same here, just thought I'd mention it.

Though I like to see that Luna can relate to the younger fillys more since she's the baby of her family.(Or is she?) When she went to see Sweetie I can remember her saying something relating herself to Sweetie. I know Luna is really old as well but in my mind she is still childlike. Of course she's mature as well and a capable leader but I don't know, I'm bad at putting what I'm thinking into words. It really can go either way for the Tia and Lulu but I really liked the whole video just as much as I love all of Mr. Notion's videos.

That's true, Celestia and Luna's love types weren't as solid as Cadance and Twilight's. I guess it does go both ways for those two :)


I think it was a coincidence, but nice theory though.


I think it was plan becuse the creaters wanted not just friendship but love to


Can't wait to hear the new remix @The Brony Notion


If you need help to come up with stuff to share READ the diary of the 2 sisters


That FRIENDS!!! thing at the start always kills my ears, but still interesting video.


This looks rather like a coincidence, which was noticed later on and capitalized upon.


I would say Luna's children are the public entirely


I call this a happy coincidence that work.


Brony i have to argee but could u make a remix of Winter warp :D what happen with Nightmare lura old body? How in the world of Ponys she came back with no remanes of her Nightmare armor?


what if magic is same as alchemist like the anime (fullmetal alchemist)?  reason why i think is. repair spells schield spells creating form wortless to usefull with use magic. that is the same as alchemist. i think ????????????????????????????


great but on the Rainbow Rocks look at the eyes of the dazzlings they turn red.THOSE RUBIES ARE PURE EVIL!!!


Not quidince because most of the mlp stuff is greek so this makes sence


I think It is probily true and planned! Well dont Brony Notion


No. I refuse to believe sun butt is a god


Clistia and Luna are  daughters of 2 other Alicorn


It was <b>PLANNED</b> i tellz ya! PLANNED!


So That Makes Sense BUT This ISNT A Greek Show. But I Do Think Theres Another Way Of Saying It. I Think The Point Of The Princeses Of Balance:
Cadence: If There Was No Romance Then No Babies Woud Be Born And Crysalys And Here Subjects Woudnt Beable 2 Feed.
Twilite:No Relastion ships, every1 will be sad and alone. And life woud just be BORING!!!
Luna:No Moon, People woudnt Get Along r Woud Be Stuck In A Meeningles Paodox Not Knowing What To Do
Celestia:No Sun, And Most Importantly there has to be a ruler of the responsabilitys like the presedent. and whats a kingdom without its ruler like a pirate cru without a captan.
So Not Only Thoes Are The Meenings Of Balance In Equestria But Aswell The Meenings Of HARMONY! Witch Is he hing That Brings All Ponys Together :)


Talk about luna not have children made me think about something and that prince blue blood rarity said he was celestia nephew but how a nephew is a son of a brother or sister or a brother/sister in law dose this mean celestia is married or have another sister or bother


There is more then what you think Luna could be a mother but just not being offical she could be blueblood or even sunset shimmers mom even by adoption also I have my own theroy if you would like to anylas what if mlp and ninjago are connected in a way then what we think if you dont know what ninjago is its a cartoon like mlp it gives us the same afect with mlp bit in different perspective they gave us more elemental masters and mlp gave us sunset as either human world element of magic or forgivness if so both worlds could be connected plus they have a celestia and luna but backwards the oldest is evil the youngest is pure Garmadon is luna and sensie Wu is celestia we even see the same yin yan symbol in both shows could that mean there are more elements of harmony what if they are no elements of harmony what if it elements of beilf every mane six has its own version put them together it adds up to beilf same with ninjago every Ninja oc has its own element even threw fan perspective both shows are even oppisites boys watch mlp girls watch ninjago so does that mean anything please anwser back on my theroy there is more if you want to know <br>Kim heart theroy💜

O_O why is there so much greek mythology in my little pony?!?!


i agree on your theary of luna and i have something to support it you see in chilldren of the night luna says"rest now MY chilldren" as well as many more.


I don't think is was planed  becuase I think they dont even know they mean love


ok so i have a theroy.luna is cadences is mom.WAIT dont go.ok so what i think is tia is cadences aunt right.so then etheier theres a 3rd sister or u know.


Luna IS a mother ether that or they   Have a 3 sister the sister of the stars princes Starla because prince blue blood is alive bring that to your mind


I have a Theory but i dont know if you already made it about it... did you ever talked about the Slender man or Slendermane in The TV Show? ( when Pinkie Pie became part of the Family of Applejack ) At a specific scene you can see Slenderman or Slendermane in the background. Can you make a Video about it? It sound very interesting... and Why did they put it in the Show?

@karatek The Blue Shell Pegasus Oh.Okay.

@Ender Eye she liked my comment thats why :P

@karatek The Blue Shell Pegasus Wait a minute,check the activity,why is @Rio Bray here!?She's completely a spy.(<:^)

@Ender Eye lol he's more Red than brown now? :P

@karatek The Blue Shell Pegasus Yeah,I know.I created the:<br>FNAR or Five Nights at Reddy's.

@karatek The Blue Shell Pegasus Yeah,I know.I created the:
FNAR or Five Nights at Reddy's.

@Ender Eye yeah that would be kinda weird at same time O_o

@Vincent Robillard Not creepy at all.I would freak out if FNAF characters become Angry birds.

@Ender Eye maybe i wonder why its there O.o

@Vincent Robillard Possibly,it's a hallucination.or a bug of colors or something like that?

@Ender Eye well if it wanst an error why would they put it?

@Vincent Robillard Possibly,an animation error or something?


You make my brain go boom and may be that is rigth


If sunnset shimmer were a princess want kind of love she could be? Could sunset And Twilight be the next princess luna and princess celestia ? Please give me a like


Is half of mlp just a lesson of greek mythology


well Brony Notion whati f the rest of the main 6 become alicorns at some point what kind of love will they be  ?


well princess celestia is like 1000+ years and she looks better then granny smith how old is granny smith? and if alicorns age slower what does that mean for twilight? SHES GONNA SEE HER FRIENDS DIE OF OLD AGE!!!!


Yeah Shining Armor And Princess Cadence Defeated Queen Chrysalis And Her Army Of Changelanels Without The Mane 6 Help!


You Uploaded this, FOUR DAYS BEFORE MY BDAY :D


hmmm i believe its ok but its not the same... but i may make a headcanon about this


I think that you are WRONG. The creators of my little pony had nothing to do with fucking greek love its just a coincidence and even if it is right i WILL Justify it

Jeez... Why are you so mean 0-0 it was just a theory..

סופיה קיסלמן
