As someone very concerned with the specifics and phrasing of lore details, I appreciate the distinction between immortality and eternal youth. Also that twist at the end was a nice touch.

@Adnan Minecraft rolblox Well you can have eternal youth and not aging so you are being effectively immortal.

Celestia was not full of light than we believed

They are like yin and Yang in my opinion one can’t be used without they other

I love lore details as well. "Overanalyzing" shows makes me appreciate and love them so, so much more.

There's even a Greek myth about that exact thing! <br>Eos and Tithonus. The goddess of dawn had Zeus turn Tithonus immortal but forgot to ask for him to have eternal youth.

Anouther thing to kinda disprove the whole apple gives immortality thing is Luna, because she was stuck on the moon for a thousand years and yet hasnt seemed to age a day since she was banished, granted you could say whatever dark magic transformed her also gave her immortality, but we have also seen multiple other creatures who are seemingly immortal who also could not have been eating any apples. Tyrek, Discord (though he is kinda a bad example), Sombra, just to name a few. Sure you can give your own reasons for why these guys are seemingly immortail (Discord is Discord), but that alone shows that apples are not nessesarly the way for immortaility. Just my view tho (:

@Edits and arts yes maybe when luna was banished to the moon she didn't age at all when nightmare moon was destroyed we see luna the way before transforming into nightmare moon

Or maybe it just work with alicorn magic. If the apples are magical, they would effect the different types of ponies differently. Like if an alicorn eats it, they gain immortality or eternal youth, because Equestria needs them alive to protect the citizents. But if a non alicorn would eat it, it just wouldn't work, or it could make them sick.

@jw777 Age spell, sawtooth mentions that in another vid

i thought princess luna was turned into like a tattoo for the moon (something like that)

Theres this theory where the faster you move the slower time is
Years ago scientists putted a clock in a plane flying at high speed around the world while also keeping track of another clock on earth
When they retrieved the clock in the plane they saw that the clock was behind
So my guess is with the earth and moon rotating en spinning and stuff it causes Luna to age more slower.
Remember Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy?
She started as a ordinary girl before taking care of the Lumas but is now alive for at least a few thousand years.
And what is she doing all that time?
FLYING AROUND THE COSMOS WITH A COMET AT ABNORMAL HIGH SPEED

@Edits and arts He said that about learning? Huh.<br>Gotta rewatch it, but that would add a nice detail to his story.

@Edits and arts He said that about learning? Huh.
Gotta rewatch it, but that would add a nice detail to his story.

@Sawtooth Waves that's true, we do know that Princess Celestia used the element of harmony to banish Luna to the moon, but we don't know the nature of the seal or how the spell was cast in the first place, certain magical seals, not all, has what I call a half-life which is the amount of time it takes the seal or spell to degrade or wear off, or requires certain conditions to be met to be released without the caster releasing it on his or her own, like with the theory that Princess Celestia released nightmare moon, however we DO know that Luna was up there for a thousand years, what we DON'T know is what spell was cast with the elements of harmony and how it was cast, figure that out and we will have solved the mystery of Luna's banishment, of course magic is unpredictable, I mean if twilight can accidentally turn her parents into plants during her test right when the rainboom happened, than magic is truly limitless in power, the only limit is your imagination.

@Edits and arts well can do things in limbo, but they wouldn't achieve anything.

@Akira he was stuck in limbo, in many mythologies and string theory infinite multiverse theory, limbo is an extra-dimensional void in between dimensions and thus out of the realms of time(and space, but we're focusing on the temporal(Time) aspect here.) thus time will have seemed to have stopped from the perspective of the person viewing the world inside limbo, or move extremely fast as if someone had hit fast forward, idk 😶 I've never been in limbo, a coma is the closest to limbo anyone has ever gotten, and those who can astral project, but let's be practical here, no one wants to be in a coma, and not everyone can astral project.

ehhh...luna kinda went from child to adult from between the second ep to her halloween one soooo

Neither Tirek nor Sombra are percieved immortal. Especially not Sombra, who technically isn't any older than an average pony (the 1000 year banishment of the Crystal Empire doesn't count).

Discord have a kind of god's powers with his chaos magic. he could just be an actually god or his species has just a very long life span.
meanwhile, Sombra losts his physical form when celestia and luna defeated him. but not his life/soul apparently.
so maybe Sombra is just a kind of shadow pony (with a different biology) or is just a very skilled wizard that invented a spell to preserve his soul after death ? (in the crystals for example ?)
i dunno, these two can be excluded from the theory, to me. but yeah, Luna's existence knocks down the apple theory xD

@Edits and arts Her form when she got reformed was her weaker form, she regained her original form later on. That was not aging

@Praying Assassin my i key fell of and i couldn't be bothered putting it on at the time

well Tirek was from another world maybe one where you are immortal Sombra was turned to shadow discord is discord and all possessed some form of dark magic

it's not clear if the apples would be a one time thing. even the nature of luna's banishment is unclear

Maybe only ponies need the golden apple.

discord is discord is one of my new favourite things to say. and pickleberyll. Isn't that just the funnest thing to say? pickleberyll pickleberyll pickleberyll. say it with me. pickleberyll qumquatch pickleberyll qumquatch pickleberyll qumquatch chimmi cherry chaka!

@VcSaJen there's no way to prove that though.

@Akira time in limbo is stuck so that  doesnt work

I don't think Luna was exactly "alive" during banishment. She was fused to Moon or something.

she was SEALED 'in' the moon for a thousand years,t hat fancy paint job on the surface wasnt just for show,s he wasnt on the moon, she was part of it, stone as much as discord was, unageing.perhaps semi aware, but not truely concious....dispite what the comics sugest.

@jw777 no he said “even a pony like me who has lived a thousand years would think he has nothing to learn but it appears I still have something to learn,friendship” he’s saying like he studied for a thousand years before limbo because you can’t do anything in limbo

@Akira He has only lived that long because the majority of that time was spent in limbo along with the other pillars, who havent seemed to age a day, even him since he was kinda already old looking before that.

Luna was possessed and it was dark magic that made her age in the first place. When she was purified she was returned to the same age as she was when possessed

@Akira technically he hasn't since he was stuck in limbo

Star swirl has lived for 1000+ years yet he looks old

Luna did age maybe her ageing stop on the moon but when she came back she started ageing again she went from being short,light blue colour to taller and Dark blue with flowy mane


I don't know enough about mythology to be sure, but I remember the golden apples having some sort of extremely specific instructions for growing them. Maybe normal golden apples have immortality, but the care of those trees to actually induce the proper effects have been lost to time or something. Or, as an alternative, Celestia's golden apples are a failed experiment - I remember the Chronicles of Narnia had apples (not golden) that cured any disease and brought back youth. But when planted in a world not suited to them, they were just merely very tasty apples that were extremely healthy for you. (That tree later provided wood for the famous Wardrobe in the first book of the series.)

Perhaps Starswirl/Celestia/Luna found a golden apple tree of immortality in an alternate universe, got excited (how excited would you be as an immortal to finally be able to have friends that would no longer wither around you?) and tried to plant it in Equestria, but the magic was the wrong kind, or the soil didn't have the exact right nutrients. So Celestia now just has an extremely exotic apple tree, even though her plan to give other ponies immortality failed.

Celestia just crafted 8 gold with an apple

I would like this idea more, if the tree was merely from a far away land (such as the land of the alicorns mentioned in the Journal of the Two Sisters (Which I still believe is cannon).
In that book it explains how alicorns age differently, but maybe a golden apple tree restores health?
In Scripture, in the book of Revelation, the leaves of the Tree of Life are used for healing (not the exact same thing, but it suggests the same idea). This same tree mentioned in Scripture also has 12 different fruits (12 being a significant number) which would suggest it's a grafted tree (which also has a significant meaning) but I think the fruit was meant to offer eternal life.


Hey Sawtooth, I've been watching you since I was a child and I just wanted to say that I'm really glad you're continuing making content and how the quality of them is increasing z keep up the great work!!


My inner Greek mythology nerd would like to propose an alternate theory: those golden apples DO offer immortality. To alicorns. In the Percy Jackson series, nectar and ambrosia will kill demi-gods if they eat too much of it, and presumably the same for mortals - or would just kill mortals. Nectar and Ambrosia share a lot of parallels with golden apples, with some people believing their is overlap in the role of golden apples and the role of nectar/ambrosia in mythology. What if the golden apples in MLP were poisonous for normal ponies, but if an alicorn eats it, it grants immortality?


Goodness, this channel is still going on with more G4 theories, I'm quite surprised knowing G4 came to an end (not sure tho) cause of the new movies, yet this channel kept on coming up with more and more G4 content. This channel btw is possibly the first channel I ever got interested on hearing about MLP lore and theories. It's just the way you explain stuff is impressive! All so clear and straight to the Why's and How's. With that, a sub is given, it's not much but I hope to see your channel grow to a million subs!

Random note: I guess I joined the ranks of the Brony Army now. It's an honor LOL


I love how you notice little things in the show and are able to give reasonable explanations. ^^ It's kinda weird that of all things the apple is associated with great power/immortality in different mythologies. Are apples that good? Why not strawberries or tropical fruits? Apples are wide spread, even without humans, so it isn't a special fruit.

@Ruby Wade A pretty interesting and dark look at it. I like it

I mean, there is a famous saying: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”

But also, to be fair, an apple a day will keep anybody away if you throw it hard enough.

@Butterfly Monarch Studios The forbidden fruit isn't an apple though, I don't know when that myth started, but I think apples have been used to portray other meanings as well, such as lust and desire.
In Scripture the Tree of Life is portrayed as yielding eternal life giving fruit, and the leaves are said to be used to healing.
The tree of knowledge doesn't give life, it only takes life.

Apples are known as the Fruit of Knowledge so it makes sense for them to have strong powers/grant immortality since Knowledge is Power!😁😁😁


omg... i'm impressed... you solved so many mysteries that even MLP producers didn't think of! you are amazing! i just love your work! keep going!


Celestia's lifespan is still shorter than the average loading time for Internet Explorer

@P. Wingert and building anything at least 5 blocks tall in Minecraft

It's also shorter than the time it takes File explorer to scan a directory and make icons.

Celestial life span is shorter than the loadig time for Netscape navigator

What if it’s luna’s because spike says princess


If the apples are wish granting apples, but grow slowly, perhaps they <b>were</b> used to combat the tragedies - just indirectly. A wish like "I wish we had someone to take care of Equestria once I'm gone" could have been used to tie the mane 6 together (Note how when modifying the timeline, they tend to end up in key positions, even without the Rain Boom). An earlier wish to grow old with her sister could also be what kept Celestia Young while her sister was away - you can't grow old with someone who isn't there.

I do like the idea of the apples only working on alicorns. It wouldn't rule out any of the other possibilities and why Twilight couldn't have shared with the others the youthful looks, though there's no prove they didn't indulge until they just wanted to let their bodies age naturally with the world around them.<br>I'd joke that Rarity might hold on the longest to her youth and those apples but at the same time, that just doesn't seem like her. She's wearing the gray in her mane loud and proud in the last episode while the others don't have any gray while undoubtably older looking. Sure she may just be graying before the rest of them, what's a little premature gray hair between friends when we don't have a solid idea of who the oldest of the mane six is and it could very well be Rarity, but the gray isn't a short little bit, it's an entire chuck that had a lot of time to grow out to be as long as the rest of her mane. Rarity may have been the first to cut the golden apples out of her diet if she had any at all. At least that's how I see it in terms of eternal youth sources. Correct me if the comics or some other episode confirms she wants it or is younger than another mane six like how we know Fluttershy is at least a year older than Pinkie.

Man this guy makes one of the best theory videos of My Little Pony ever.


In the Journal of the Two Sisters they refer to the fact their aging was different solely due to being alicorns. This was before they even moved to Canterlot, while they were young living in Castle of the Two Sisters. Know your having fun, but this one was stated in accepted media.


ive been a long-time viewer, and how the quality of these videos improved is honestly inspiring <333

@VexTheFurry I learn to never help sawtooth with anything.

@Just a normal alien I learned never to help the mean 3 with anything.

@ponyhorse & muledonkey.🐎🐴 why did you call me a “evil meanie”???

@Sawtooth Waves btw, ur awesome for supporting Ukraine!!

@Joginder Maheru spike said something about a group golden fruit trees with golden fruits hanging from them. Some fruit sounds good and healthy. But what if spike meant indirectly?

@Joginder Maheru well twilight is one great princess. But why her and not her friends? Surely the other could be alicorns too.

Those apples are alicorns but white alicorns keep those eloquent from other ponies like pegaside unicorns Earth ponies only alicorns eat them only if Granny Smith is so old and she doesn't eat those golden Apple so maybe celestia is eating the golden apples and Twilight are eating the golden apples     to be big if alicorns are just eating those apples and and luna's getting big but she's like so small youngest one so if Twilight is big maybe Luna we just like celestia and celestia getting  old and old and still eating the golden apples.

Those golden apples only two alicorns maybe Twilight friends didn't know that they having golden Apple maybe alicorns keep them a secret so that nobody can eat the golden apples

Oh no could sawtooth cursed by the fruit?

@Rebekka Jones why does it need to be capitalized?

Same and I agree though there are still a few mysteries left I hope sawtooth waves will continue to post videos.

She can also share them with mistmane  to help bring back her beauty as she was once the most beautiful unicorn


I’ve been wondering if Twilight is aging fast for an alicorn or in other words normal for a pony. Consider this, she’s as tall as Celestia after roughly 25-30 years of ruling but Luna and Cadance who were already older than/about 30 were always smaller than Celestia.

Or maybe more times than 25-30 years has passed. We don't know after all how long ponies lives and at which rate they age. Thought i remember someone mentioning a lifespan of 200-300 years for averages ponies. Point is, a century could have passed and you wouldn't know it.

I believe that her magic also influenced it. She already had so much magic in her before becoming an alicorn (element of magic) and becoming an alicorn made gave her a larger horn and made her taller. I think that after receiving the magic of two other alicorns and keeping it for such a long time* is what caused her to grow that large after her years of ruling Equestria officially.

*She’s gotten all of the alicorn magic before in that Tirek episode, but she only held onto it for so long. In the final episode, it’s shown to have been YEARS.

@Butterfly Monarch Studios lol Yes! You absolutely had to do the mane thing! I would agree, and it could be a possibility except every other alicorn we’ve seen, the bigger they are the older they are, implying age is a factor for size. …could also be the writers being lazy about alicorns like they always have lol.

My guess for the height thing is, genetics. It's possible that while there all alicorn, they still have different heights. The MANE thing( sry had to say it😂😂😂) is that they're all taller than average ponies and I think that's what helps classify them as alicorns!😁😁😁


It might be where, the golden apples do grant immortality, but only alicorns can receive the effects, like in Greek mythology where mortals can't eat the ambrosia, or drink the nectar, but that is what gives the gods, or in our case, the alicorns their immortality. This way, all of the princesses may want to share the apples, but they can't. Great video, by the way.


The thought process is near flawless. Though, I cannot point out any. Love the video! I also like the little beginning and end bits! You do so well! Have a good day! (To everyone)


Hm...I do have a theory but it might be a bit farfetched. What if the Golden apples actually help a pony actually deal with the power of being an alicorn? Like, yes, we saw how Twilight became an Alicorn and she seemed to handle it pretty well...at first. So what if those golden apples help ponies whom have become Alicorns deal with their new powers. Think about it! Imagine having three different kinds of magic inside of you at once. That might put a lot of strain on your body physically. So maybe the apples work as a stabilizer of some kind!

@Tabii Canim the reason luna is smaller is because when she was in the moon it stunted her growth. when she is first released she is much smaller and younger looking because thats how she was when she got “eviled” you later notice that she gets slightly taller and her mane gets longer. i think alcorns are like humans, the older you get the taller you are. which is why celesta is so much taller than the average pony and taller than luna because she is older and luna had her growth stunted. same thing with cadence and twilight. according to the diary of the two sisters it claims that alcorns age slower than the average pony which would make sense why cadence has only grown a little bit since when we saw her as a teenager foal sitting twilight. it also explains why in the final episode we see in the stain glass that flurry heart has grown up but is only as tall as a adult pony and not a adult alcorn. we also see that twilights hair gets “flowy” in the last episode so that probably also has to due with age/growth who knows maybe its a puberty thing 🤷

@HearMeOut17 I think you're misinterpreting the definition of a stabilizer. Flurry Heart had a spell put on her that's common enough to have a name and is likely designed for Unicorn foals in general to control their magic. And don't get on my case about Flurry being an Alicorn and not a Unicorn, because that's just a semantic argument. The point of the spell is to control the magic of a foal who is capable of using magic at will.

A spell like that would not be common knowledge if it was for stabilizing an alicorn's magic, because alicorns aren't common enough.

Also, it's called Fledgeling's Forbearance.

I know there's definitely a stabilizer out there, because it's mentioned that this is given to Flurry Heart.

So it could be very possible.

i don't know i think that would have been the subject of an episode or a comic, and tia would have come with one when twi got her wigs, and do not think that the kind of item you want to teleport to you if it stabilise alicorn magic inside the body could have the oposite reaction when spells are cast on it

maybe alicorns can only get to the size of luna and cadence without apples, which is why celestia, and later, twilight, are so big. however, luna has also lived for a similar time to celestia so idk


I'm really glad you brought this up, and I think it's a good theory. I personally believe that alicorns don't live forever, and instead just age differently. Luna and Celestia have lived for a really long time, beyond many life spans, and have gotten really tall as they aged. You can see that the older an alicorn is, the taller they are. Like how celestia is really tall, luna is shorter as her little sister but still taller than average, and cadence is a little bit taller than average. Not sure about how twilight was, but the important thing is that their height depends on age, yet within, not even a full life span, twilight sparkle grew to be the same size as celestia. I think celestia and luna used some way, such as a golden apple, to stay alive because the world needed them, but all the other princesses aged like an alicorn.

@Éfar Isti Oh yah, I guess it was kinda confirmed now. I mean, that evil alicorn person has lived for a pretty long time, so yup, pretty much. tbf I wrote this comment 7 months ago, but you are right, g5 does debunk the theory that I had.

Didn't the G5 confirmed that Alicorns are immortals?

I believe that her magic influenced it. She already had so much magic in her before becoming an alicorn (element of magic) and becoming an alicorn made gave her a larger horn and made her taller. I think that after receiving the magic of two other alicorns and keeping it for such a long time* is what caused her to grow that large.

*She’s gotten all of the alicorn magic before in that Tirek episode, but she only held onto it for so long. In the final episode, it’s shown to have been YEARS.


If the golden apples grant eternal youth, then why is Nightmare Moon still young?<br>The more likely candidate for eternal life is dark magic. We know that Celestia, Twilight, and Sombra can all use dark magic, and it is conceivable that other 'eternal' characters are also capable.

@Ellie Vergo Golden Apples are generally required as a consistent supplement to the diet, as opposed to a one-time thing.

She ate hers when she was physically younger than her sister!


Man I love how you did your homework SawTooth!!!📚

Even I missed this minor detail. I have seen golden apples used in multiple media from Minecraft to “Class of the Titans” series. I even learned more about their mythology in your video, wow!

In Minecraft, Gold apples gave you Temporary extra health, strong regeneration, and some other buffs I think I might have forgotten in game ( & the god apples required even more gold like whole blocks but I think where removed from the game, unfortunately )…

In “Class of the Titans” the tree itself made god-like friends & Allie’s immortal by just existing , but the villain figured as long as he had a few of its fruits himself, he could destroy the tree & wipe out immortal competition, but his wicked plan was foiled by the tree being regrown from a left over gold-apple core, saving every one from doom.

Hearing that the Alicorn-princess had a “gold apple tree” makes me wonder just what purposes or attributing things they exactly provided??? Only wishes like in the comic? Healing? Youth or immortality?… or a rare medicine, cure, or extravagant power boost & etc?!?!? … or more lower just an extravagant ingredient?

You would think if it hade rare medical or healing powers 🏥, why not use it to cure “swamp fever” instead of that rare honey in that one episodes?… & did or didn’t the the “Pillar of Healing” or any of “The six pillars eventually mention this in later episodes once they came back? Did even StarSwirl use them before to live a 1,000 years before the 1,000 years being trapped in limbo?

This is like a flood gate of questions I now wished they did an episode on!

Second to only wondering how Equestria got turned upside down a few generations later in G5 and all its questions! (Like what happened when a earth ponies(or etc.) had a unicorn or pegasus as a child… in G5? Did they need to run & live in an underground village for the life of their children & family?!?!?)

(But that question is for another video, right?)


After all this theorizing, I'd find it funny if it were just a statue of an apple tree made out of gold to commemorate the contributions of farmers to the general wellbeing of Equestria.


The Golden apples could also bring up knowledge to the future or the past too. I find it a little odd how Celestia knew about nightmare moon being defeated. Maybe it told her what would happen in the future or something. She just seems calm sometimes when disaster strikes


Idea (⚠SPOILER ⚠): The Golden Apples grant the flowy mane thing. We’ve only seen alicorns with these manes. This could explain why Luna had non-flowy hair after Nightmare Moon’s defeat. Luna had no access to these apples thus no flowy hair until she had some later on and got it back. Candace and Twilight lived too far to be able to regularly access these until she gets one later on when she becomes ruler and lives in Canterlot. Also maybe it only works for alicorns, thus only alicorns has these manes.


Based off of the thumbnail I thought you were going to bring up dark magic. Since Sambra was alive as long as Celestia (who clearly used it) and Twilight who seemed to live a similar long life (who also had used it at least once). Like if you think about it, we never see old Caidence or Flurry Heart so maybe they aged like everypony else. And with how easily it corrupts and manipulates the usser it makes sense why that magic isn't shared/taught. I also want to add that being corrupt tends to be assorted with a form of "dark magic" in the show. Giving more reasons to why Luna and possibly other villains also could live as long as they have.

Love the videos!


Hi, Sawtooth! I'm a new subscriber who's been binging your video library for a few days.

What if the apples are something entirely mundane? Like, the tree and its fruit are actually just some gold sculpture the extremely wealthy princesshood commissioned as a centerpiece for her garden? What if it's not a real plant at all?

Maybe it's just the rich being rich!


I'm pretty sure Celestia uses that Golden Apple Tree for Regeneration II and Absorption while in the Nether.

Then there is me who saw the apple and thought of the Tree Of Feelings from Dreamtale:  . . .  :T

@Elias I mean Nether. It's in Tartarus's Basement


Maybe twilight wouldn't...<br>She came a long way because of friendship but she's always been the more scientific,practical pony so after she became imortal she knew her friends wouldn't be with her forever....so she grew to except that...or maybe because the rest of the mane 5 are not alicorns and dont contain amplified magic from all 3 tribes they age but only physically?

Maybe twilight wouldn't...

I just had a big exam and I was rewatching a bunch of your theory videos to chill out afterwards like I usually do when I need a study break and then see a brand new one is released… bless I needed this today 🥺💖🙏✨

@Sawtooth Waves ty Sawtooth I just got my mark back and it’s a 95.83%!! Your videos keep me sane during school lol tysm 🥺🙏💖


Well, based on the first theory, maybe you need Alicorn magic to access the apples. You need to have all three magic types combined to access them, and eat them. If a normal pony eats one, maybe it would speed up the aging process tremendously,  instead of showing it down to immortality.


Oh my god your eye to detail is amazing tysm for making these videos for us!


Can we appreciate how much hard work they put into their videos for us and they never fails us to entertain us and they always makes our day or night even better keep it up with the awesome work!


This makes a lot of sense and would explain a lot

What I am curious about is how magic seams to affect different creatures differently…what I mean is Tirek went from looking old and weak to a Goliath when he stole magic…Discord just stayed himself unless he stopped being chaotic in which case he fades away…and when the princesses gave their magic to Twi the sisters simply lost their wavy mains they all lost their cutie marks and Twi gained a colorful trail and speed boost when she tried flying and couldn’t control her teleporting


Thanks for sharing your ideas with us, Sawtooth! The golden apple theories were interesting to listen to. Also, this is my first time hearing about the wish-granting golden apples in comic canon. Those might have been cool to see in the show. ^_^<br>The topic of alicorn immortality theories reminded me of how longevity has been handled in some other works of fiction. In the film The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus, Nicholas is granted immortality by a group of immortals after a lifetime of good deeds. Someone could have done something similar for the royal sisters since they were the best at raising the sun and moon. Also, in an episode of Elliott from Earth, there's an alien who wears a special pendant to slow his aging down due to his species aging very quickly. Maybe the sisters' crowns or necklaces have some age-delaying powers. Just some ideas.

Someone could have done something similar for the royal sisters since they were the best at raising the sun and moon. Also, in an episode of Elliott from Earth, there's an alien who wears a special pendant to slow his aging down due to his species aging very quickly. Maybe the sisters' crowns or necklaces have some age-delaying powers. Just some ideas.


Let's just appreciate how well made these vids are. Thanks so much for making them.


If we were to go with the "Apples grant immortality" idea, maybe the reason no other pony is seen using  them is because no pony other than Alicorns are powerful enough to handle them. I mean when you think about it, an apple that grants the eater eternal life would have to be full of an extreme amount of magic to work, and single ponies no matter how powerful, would be unable to store that much raw magical energy in their body. Alicorns however, since they possess the combined magics of all three races, they can store and even control that energy. The reason why the princesses never give the apples to dieing ponies is not one of more or less greed, but because of the often postulated idea that too much magic- exerted or otherwise- is not in any way good for bodies that weren't made to handle it.

Or celestia doesnt allow any other pony, its like a  secret.


Maybe you are right, and it could be that Starswirl planted the golden apple tree like the tree of harmony though it might be that only very powerful or worthy ponies can use them like alicorns.


Unfortunately to say, Twilight didn't keep her immortality, one of the G5 comics showed that Canterlot is in ruins, and Discord's horn is found by Sunny.


What if the golden Apples only work on Alicorns? That the power is so extreme that you can only use it when you have magic of all three tribes?


Wow! Great vid! Your theories are so great & very interesting & you put so much effort into making these videos for us to be entertained by! Thanks Sawtooth for all your hard work!


idea for a vid: in lesson zero Twilight used the "want it need it" spell, after use she says "works every time" indicating she used it before but, why? also the way the hearts come out of her horn reminds me of princess cadence... did cadence teach it to her? and if so, why!?

@Reeseeven so we still know that  <i>she has used the spell before</i> but why? that part of the question still remains

@Reeseeven so we still know that  _she has used the spell before_ but why? that part of the question still remains

No, Cadence didn't teach her the spell. Cadence's magic is love magic, and the Want It, Need It spell may be love magic but not the kind Cadence uses.

Great idea! Here's hoping Sawtooth sees this.

Me just commenting to make this popular so that Sawtooth can see, because this is a really good video idea


I really love theory videos, the reason being that people somehow give absolutely stupid and frankly wrong ideas, some sense of based foundation which is insane


Nice work on this one Sawtooth! I even have an idea on where the Golden Apple Tree came from! It may be a bit far-fetched but... still!


Maybe the apples only react to Alicorn magic like that one potion. I wouldn't be surprised if they even lack flavor as a surprising twist.


Keeping youth/imortality granting appels from the general population could hardly be considered evil. There would never be enough for everpony, and knowledge of the apples would just lead to conflict over them until the tree was destroyed. Remember, in myth, planting a golden apple does not give you another golden applebearing tree. <br>It is also possible for Twillight to use the apples without knowing what the do, as she inherited the staff from Celestia & Luna. That way she might get the apples as part of her standard meals.

if she's using dark magic to keep herself alive for a thousand years then she should be renamed as the ancient One from Doctor strange.

@Joetino Official maybe it not a same magic type (maybe) that’s why she didn’t bald

I think this one is true about dark magic and now why because she show us about dark magic in SS2(Zombra) she show dark magic to twilight that’s mean she use dark magic to make her life longer(maybe) but I don’t know about big body it about magic or golden apple but Nightmare moon it look like a same size of Celestial That’s very confused but I think it because of magic if that apple make longer life I think why no one stole? And why guard didn’t stole that apple and make his life more than 1000+ years I always think Celestial use magic to make life longer like ancient one:)


When I read the journal of the two sisters one of them said (I think it was Celestia) that starswirl said that raising the sun and moon will give Celestia and Luna more power and rejuvenate them so they wouldn't age. So I think now that they stopped raising/lowering the sun and moon themselves they'll start to age grow old and eventually die. Now that Twilight is doing it she'll stay young and live forever, that is until g5


Now that you showed me how many mythology references there are in the MLP, I'm sad they missed the chance to put something form Slavic mythology. Though it is incredibly horrifying.<br> For example, there is something called "psoglav", creature with head of the dog with iron teeth, human torso and legs of horse/goat, has one or three eyes. They dig up graves to eat corpses, but also hunt for human meat.

I think that because an alicorn has SO MUCH magic energy in them that it extends their life span as as they get older it takes up more of their energy to keep them alive. We've seen the older alicorns struggle with using their magical powers to their full extent explaining why celestia andluna dont directly fight back and when they do its not very well. Cadence while being younger weve seen start struggling with this when the gang go to the crystal empire as shes fighting off sombra. Ignoring their own experience with using magic because that obviously varies between the bunch this is a decent explination. Perhaps the golden apples cut down on this magic for life span cost they make to live longer (probably against their will because alicorn biology). Like lets say to live longer as an alicorn it takes up 10% of your overall magic capacity, over time this will take up 50% making the usage of more taxing magic harder to pull off, now lets say that golden apples reduce this cost by a certain amount. This explains how alicorns can live a really long time but still end up dying of old age in the end as there arent any alicorns anymore in gen5 because while you can make it last longer you will eventually reach the 100% threshold and die as an alicorn.


This is a really god theory! My question that I haven’t seen an answer for is what happened to the human counterparts of the pony’s? Very curious what has been happening over there


Sawtooth has been trying to understand flurry heart for a while and I have a theory on that. What if Flurry is the next princess of love and destined to take over after cadence she was born an Alicorn because her role as a princess was pre determined. There arn't going to be infinite new magics to earn wings with and older alicorns are either immortal or are going to die eventually thus needing heirs for the same spot in the alicorn pantheon he proposed in last video on why flurry has wings.


Can't imagine the power Alicorns would have if they got their hooves on enchanted golden apples


Ok, so lets say if the golden apples were able to grant eternal youth for Celestia and Luna but would need to be eaten every number of years to keep the youth. Then if that be the case, wouldn't Luna be older and or look older than Celestia from Luna's time on the moon for a 1000 years? Including Discord and other mystical magical creatures that have lived for a really long time and youthful and have had no access to the golden apples.


What if Celestia herself doesn't realize after all it's not so farfetched to think Star Swirl harnessed the power of the golden apple tree to make alicorns immortal. After all Star Swirl probably wouldn't care for sharing immortality with others, and he almost certainly forgot later on.


I always love these videos. Please, please keep making them! It makes me enjoy watching MLP much more when people notice the tiny details and analyze them to make theories.


Assuming the Golden apples give you immortality, even if twilight offered them to her friends, knowing them they'd probably not accept it. Having to live on as protectors of equestria (as mentioned in season 9) along with twilight would definitely not be their ideal roles, as that's twilight's job now as the sole ruler. Besides they wouldn't want to watch their friends and or family pass on, especially Apple jack or Pinkie pie. If that's the case twilight wouldn't present them with this option either because as an alicorn she never had that choice, and must know the hardships that come with it.


I have some interesting theorys that might interest you but they involve the comics and the books, so it's a lot more outlandish

Also a ramble about the video, I think it probably is wish granting apples but they only use it for emergencys they know they cannot control, like a fail safe, but like when they would physically be able to get to the apples, explaining why they didn't use it in the crystal empire, against the changelings and during the movie


I thought you were gonna say that Alicorns being able to use dark magic like King Sombra's makes them immortal. King Sombra was immortal so maybe it was something about his magic and then Twilight and Celestia being able to replicate it somehow made them immortal.


Or what about the flower that made the cutie mark crusaders grown ups? I think it belonged to starswerl or something so maybe Celestia used it to increase her life pr something. Example: In both ocations the flower could have done something to do with age, right?


I think the golden apples in celestia garden are wish apples and are able to grant wish while also keep the pony’s young until they decide not to use them.and I think the reason why alicorns are immortal is because they have magic beyond the normal magic that unicorns have that’s why alicorns are immortal because they can keep themselves alive.


If the golden apples are an anti-ageing spell, it'd mean cadence wouldn't be immortal like everyone else since she doesn't have her own. I mean she could plant her own tree I guess but all the vegetation we see are all crystal plants, I'm not sure she could grow it there.


I think Celestia is wise enough to know that wish granting can have unpredicatable consequences and it's better not to use it unless last ressort. But she's not wise enough to put a security system around it apparently. <br>Speculations. But why wouldn't apples that grant eternal youth be useful to old ponies? If your body stay young, it doesn't age so you do become effectively immortal.

Mad respect, you picked up that detail and made a whole theory on it, you madlad!! 🤣


Hey sawtooth, I'm river I'm a human (you know what that is right) anyway I found a portal to the equestrian world I've been observing your videos since I was a Philly or a child it is so inspiring to me that you came out as non-binary (side note I love that you're non-binary and that you're OC is a changeling:) ) your video quality has only improved and watching you work so hard to keep this fandom thriving is amazing to me thank you for what you do.


Well, one thing to notice is that the kirin represents the Japanese people while the ponies like Mist Mane with a different horn represents the Chinese people.


I agree they could give enturnal youth but only to alicorns cause of the exstended life span if given to a mortal pony they'd have very dire effects on them due to the limited life span.<br>But thats just me.

Are people going to ignore Sawtooth’s ✨YASSIFICATION✨ he looks stunning 🤩


There is a book that is called “the journal of the two sisters” a real life book that you can buy off eBay, and this book holds a lot of answers, the book says that Luna learned how to move the stars, and the legend was the the stars would Aiden her escape, check out the book and see for yourself 🤗


WOW just WOW! You’ve made such a good point! Can i just say I love how much work you put into these videos!? You always do such a good job and always make me question things I never thought about before! Also, Happy National Unicorn Day!


I would just assume, the golden apple tree would be a highly classified magic reserved only for alicorn rulers. For the same reason the highest of classified information in the government is not talked about publically. Don't want to cause panic (the the most assumed reason).

On the other hand, maybe they are just a special rare breed of apple tree.


Suddenly turned into a Greek Mythology lesson less than 5 minutes in and I love it.


I enjoy your content and lore videos soo much ♡ aiii the bow looks so cute on you


I've wanted to ask this for awhile but can you make a theory about Zecora? She's such a mysterious character


Random theory idea : how EXACTLY did Rainbow Dash lose her wing in the Sombra timeline

Also, as someone who has been watching this channel for years, your videos have gotten so much better!


hey! one of your really really old viewers, returning after YEARS to ask to make a video about Starlight possibly becoming a Princess? Like the princess or Destiny or the princess of Time?<br>I remember when you used to be "The Brony Nation" & I was so invested in all your lovely theories and I finally came up with another one I thought you may like to look through -- considering the ones you've made on Starlight in the past. Even though we know that Starlight currently teaches @ Twilight's school, its not impossible that she could be a ruler at some point.

I just found this man’s channel and i gotta say I never thought I’d be this intrigued in a mlp theory


also, if those apples did grant immortality, maybe celestia keeps them from the citizens bc it is known that people fear death, but that immortality leads to one outliving their loved one's and that after a while, life becomes dull. so maybe she did it for their own good idk


I think the G5 movie kinda confirmed that Alicorn are not really immortal like gods in most legends and the bible, they are "technically" very slow aging like the elves from Lord of the Rings, due to the fact that then naturally have powerful magic.  As for her golden apple garden, have you seen the G4 Movie?  If so, maybe her motive in not using or letting anypony use the golden apple might be similar, but not as extreme as Queen Novo's motive in being overly protective of her subjects especially her "Pearl of Transformation."

We also gotta count the golden apples from minecraft, when eaten, they give the player protection, regeneration and absorption, but the enchanted golden apples grants the player regeneration, protection, absorption but also fire resistance, that make the player harder to almost impossible to kill while the apple is still in effect.


I'd like to take a moment that when the writers and showrunners of the series were asked if the Princesses were immortal they were told that they weren't. So this 'the princesses are immortal' is disproven by the people who made the show - and thus the Princesses have an indefinite lifespan, a lifespan so long that it is unknown how long they actually live. Now, how those lives are extended and what not is up in the air, but the immortal thing really needs to stop.


As usual those are some interesting theories Sawtooth, and i agree with what you said it could be possible that the golden apples do make Celestia young just not in the way we would think because like you said the apples probably only make Celestia <b>look</b> young physically but she's actually really old and when she starts showing signs of wrinkles she has to keep eating the golden apples to maintain her youthful appearance.

@Infernocon23 but what’s wrong with me correcting him? I assumed he missed the last part of the video

@-Elliott- average dragon enjoyer Well as you can see he edited his comment and fixed his error, which means he probably figured it out for himself by actually finishing the video i mean there's still such a thing as finding this out for yourself you know.

@Infernocon23 why not? He didn’t hear it so I told him. YOU heard it and so did I, he didn’t.

@-Elliott- average dragon enjoyer What i'm getting at is that even if this dude stated what was said in the video, that doesn't mean you have to tell him that.

@Infernocon23 I was the first to reply. I informed them of their mistake. I really don’t understand why you are getting hissy with me over this.

@-Elliott- average dragon enjoyer And it didn't cross your mind even once that some of us might've already known that this dude didn't pick up on it before you noticed that he didn't?

@Infernocon23 well clearly it isn’t obvious because this dude didn’t pick up on it.

Way to not think about what you’re writing :/

@-Elliott- average dragon enjoyer Way to state the obvious you don't have to rub it in you know.

Well like Sawtooth said in the video it is possible to be eternally old. So yes it is a possibility that Celestia's golden apples do make her appear young physically when she's actually old and if that were so then that would mean Celestia would have to eat the apples constantly because just like the water from the fountain of youth, the effects of the golden apples eventually ware off.

I believe that'sd exactly what sawtooth was touching toward the end there ^^


Celestia is kinda too good of a ruler<br>She has Fricken guards and won't let them fight a villain to the death-

ᴅᴏʟᴏʀᴇs ᴍᴀᴅʀɪɢᴀʟ👂🏽


Sooo cool. I actually read a fanfic that was along a similar thread-how celestia gets her immortality and youth. But seriously a really good thought


I love how he makes theories and then debunks them in the same video


It has been confirmed through multiple episodes that ponies do have longer lives. In the season 1 episode winter wrap up Twilight cold Spike that ponyville was founded by Earth ponies silver hundreds of years they have never used magic to clean up winter. In the episode simple ways it was stated at the beginning that Granny Smith was on the committee because she was one of the original founders of ponyville. Not to mention I cannot remember the name of the episode but there was a flashback where granny Smith's family stopped in canterlot and princess Celestia pointed them toward what would become future ponyville. Also in the episode where the other ponies discover pinky secret party planning cave Applejack did find Pinky's plans for her parents 50th wedding anniversary 100th wedding anniversary and 500th wedding anniversary. At the same time in hearts and hooves day you see the cutie Mark crusaders interrupting a funeral. So we do have confirmation about long lives for ponies. Don't know so much about the other races but evidently centaurs also have a very long lifespan. But where the normal ponies do age I did find it odd that the alicorns who have been confirmed to be alive or more than 1100 years seem to be quite Young and beautiful. I also thought for the longest time that the flowing hair was only reserved for the alicorns until we were introduced to cadence and that one unicorn who was a part of the original six. Maybe being an alicorn does slow the aging process. But it is not confirmed that alicorns live forever. They just might live twice as long or longer than the normal ponies. We know that Celestia had been raising the Sun for about 1111 years and for at least a thousand years also raising the Moon. Beyond that we do not know what their actual ages are.


Even though I do agree that this theory is very well made and everything the others say, I am gonna say this right now: Am I the only one worried about Sawtooth's safety?! Like, at the begining I was so confused about what happened to them and at the end it seemed as if they were captured by someone! Why is no one worried about them?! Who even took them?!(if I accidentally used he/him pronouns, sorry!😥)


as someone who thinks anything is possible in a world of magic,my thoughts are i think there is a spell only allicorns can use to make one have eternal youth of course there would be the golden apple farm but i think those are just very flavorful royal fruits :)


Sawtooths point that immortal is differnet than internal youth is true in the greek myth of Tihonus who was the lover
of the goddes Eos and a amazing guy because Eos begged Zeus to grant him immortality so they could be together
forever but forgot to ask for internal youth. Tihonus become immortal but continued to age, after a few hunderd years his size became a grape growing smaller forever.Maybe this is how alicorns die?


I just wanted to say your bow is so cute! And I think it gives something when you change your profile to the season! I love it😊❄🌸🌼🍁


Another thing that tends to complicate theories is that evidence suggests that Cadance was succeeded by Flurry Heart by the time of Luster Dawn, which implies that Cadance isn't immortal.


Its nice to see your still going! I have been watching you since 3rd grade and now im starting highschool- helped me feel not ashamed of liking mlp in middle school


A thing to note is that  I would not share knowledge of apples that make you immortal, esp. in a world with people like Sombra Crysalis and others, as there are many people who really don't need to be immortal. Also, I don't think just not sharing these is evil, especially as we have no knowledge of how many grow at any given point. I can see your point of view, and why you'd think that it would be wrong not to share, I just think that there's too little information to make any form of harsh judgement against Celestia.


I like this idea but then again we saw that king sombre was technically immortal using crystals and tirek I think that comes down to him being a different species that can consume magic so maybe he can passively intake magic in small amounts from like breathing etc and chrysalis can a also be argued to be immortal since she consumes love and that itself could lead to temporary immortality and with Luna we saw her age just like cadence  but the difference being that Luna manes flow so I think an alicorns “immortality” could be connected to their cutiemarks like celestia is connected to the sun Luna the moon Cadence the crystal heart and love and twilight connected to the stars and friendship aka platonic love and this brings into question mistmane who sacrificed her beauty but maybe she gained something more in return you know


Your kinda on point with that Greek mythology but Hera didn’t have a golden apple tree the golden apple was created by the Goddess of Chaos Eris for not being invited to a party thrown by Zeus she threw the apple up and the apple was used to say which goddess is the most beautiful.Three goddesses fought over the apple causing the Trojan war to happen.There is more about the story go and read it if you want to I didn’t cover all the points


We could also take the magic from equestria flowing into the human counter part. We already know objects there have gotten magic like the mirror and phone so maybe something similar could appear there to.


You put in so much research for your theories, so cool!!


Question: Do you think you'll tackle what happened with the Young Six in their stained-glass window pane?


Maybe the fruit is specific to the magic of alicorns, and are too dangerous for just any pony to use, I think it would also extend to other animals, like dragons because twilight is only like 5 or 6 years older than spike yet he doesn't seem to have aged too much. I don't know, but that's my theroy.


They're powers could also just work with Alicorns. Like, something within their bodies or magical makeup or something.


Funny how the pony who has been alive over a thousand moons sort of happens to be a pony that is a royal and rules over all equestria who lives in a castle with a pet Phoenix and-<br>Yeah, of course she has golden apples. What does Celestia not own that is part of mythology, excluding creatures? Well, we don't know... Who knows what random thing is just sitting in a basement...

this reminds me of something... STORY TIME!:

In my defunct Horror-Hero Fanfic universe, that i still hope to do one day... Alicorns are are portrayed as a big more Powerful then in Canon, but at a price... a very harsh price.

In my stories, Twilight's Ascension happened as her in Canon, but the scene on "Da Otha Side" went differently... cuz her ascension was not planned, the version we got was just a story Twilight told her friends.

An Alicorns Power, Youth, and Longevity comes from them being somewhat Vampyric... they absorb life-force passively from everything around them, within their "Area of Influence"... Celestia, as the sole Ruler of Equestria, could Sustain herself by taking a Month off of everypony's Life expectancy in Equestria... how much life is passively absorbed depends on how much power the Alicorn is willing to Absorb as well, Celestia, having to manage the entire Kingdom AND the Sun and Moon(with the Moon resisting...), she became the tall, imposing figure she is in the modern Era as a necessity to fulfill he myriad duties...

Then Cadance showed up and unexpectedly became a Alicorn herself in a desperate moment via the power of Love, which fueled her Ascension... after Celestia found and explained the cost to her, Cadance opted to remain at a Minimum level of power, which is why she is much weaker then the others... and smaller.

She only lessened Life-expectancy by a few hours to a few days due to this.... then that burden was eventually moved to the already-long-lived Crystal Ponies following the Return of the Crystal Empire.

Which was great, because when Luna returned she cut Life Expectancy by another week at first... then by closer to three weeks when she achieved her starry-haired form.

Twilight's ascension was a little better planned, and the Ethereal Plane chat was prepared for in advance... But despite this, Looking into Twilight's eyes, she sort of.."Forgot" to mention the cost, she did not want to break her heart... which lead to a period of Twilight being constantly hungry, and eating a ton of Hayburgers(as seen in that one CMC episode.. Twily Time i wanna say? Not sure, been ages), and other Pony fast foods, never really getting any satiety... and wasting away...

Celestia had hope'd that Twilight would passively feed off the Exceptionally Potent life-force of her friends(at Twilight's current state... PInkie Pie could of theoretically sustained her with maybe seconds off her life, a more vibrant Life Force Celestia has never seen before) without her having to be Aware of it yet... but her nature pretty much cept her from siphoning PERIOD.

when Celestia finally Told her, Twilight was.. a little angry, but ultimately took the cost as a Challenge to overcome... it's also why she barely grew any in height, even compared to Cadance, during the show... she was basically on a starvation diet.

The plot proper would of started a little while after her Ascension, a few months, and coming to terms with her Curse/Blessing... shit starts going wrong in Equestria.... Luna, for all the good she's done since she returned, had always feared the creatures she created during the Nightmare War, that raged before her banishment, would return eventually with her up and about... sadly she was right...

One by one Tragedies befall the main cast... they all pull through in various ways, tho many of them aren't quite what they were before hand....

The only Fic i got finished was the "Iron Man" for this Fic Universe... a story about Zecora and a cursed she has bore for most of her life... she was basically a Ghoul, and never ate any sapient flesh, using potions and a Rhyme-based Meditation practice to abstain from Cannibalism completely.... She was going to be the first Monster-Pony recruited by Twilight into a "Night Watch" group to hunt monsters with those marked BY monsters.

Only ones that stayed the same were Fluttershy(whom has been managing her Flutterbat condition in secret for two years at this point), and Rainbow Dash, whoms the designated Badass Normal.

...No one is gonna read this, but i may just go Write the next fic now, so thanks for digging up a old idea  i had since like season 3, Sawtooth!


Just a thought i had while watching this. What if the golden apples only grant you eternal youth or immortality if u are an alicorn/have magic from all three tribes. If u are only one you might get an extra year or two if u eat them but immortality or eternal youth is only for alicorns.


Hi Sawtooth, i have a theory i' d like to share with you. Remember the princess of love who used a love potion to get a man? I think it was Crysalis sometime long ago. And she turned evil because of love.


The golden apples might hold the key to eternal youth but you might have to be an alicorn to be able for the apples eternal youth powers to effective on you.  Just like nectar and ambrosia would only work for the Greek Gods the golden apples could only work on a pony's body that was in complete harmony aka a pony who body had elements of all three tribes aka an alicorn.


This reminds me of another immortal known as the "Kitsune Fox" (yes I'm a kitsune Fox) they are known to live past 1,000 years old as well as staying young with out any special food or water and the only way they can die is being stabbed in the Heart or by sacrificing themselves to save another


What do Celestia's golden apples do?  Another tie to her solar charge, no doubt - 'the Golden Apples of the Sun'.  Luna most likely has 'Silver Apples of the Moon' as well.


You should read Robbe-Grillet's Recollections of the Golden Triangle. Apples feature prominently in the novels core themes


Спасибо,что выпускаете видео, сейчас это одно из того,что меня отвлекает, от того что происходит


Hey hey, Here me out in G5. Twilight's friends died and this caused ponies of 3 species begin to fight, she tried to bring them back together but they wouldn't listen. She set up something in Heartswarming that included the 2 sisters and the 2 crystal empire princesses but it all went wrong and just made the situation worse. The windigos formed and since there is no known solution to this but friendship(she couldnt make bring them back together) she casted a spell that took her friends' hearts(not literally) including hers that took a the form of their element, Twilight combined the elements to the 3 crystals that we all know now. With the help of the other princesses' magic she managed to trap the windigos forever along with herself, the 2 sisters, Cadence, and Flurry.

Twilight combined Aj and Pinkie to be the earth crystal, RD and Fluttershy to be the pegasus crystal, and Her and rarity to be the unicorn crystal despite her being an alicorn. Thats why the 3 crystals can be apart.


Yeah, but since we have a theory that alicornship is something Starswirl the Bearded had invented to unite ponykind plus have someone to raise the Sun themselves, wouldn't that prove the existence of a "magical genetic engeneering" study there or something? You know, to make golden apples correspond to only alicorn DNA.


Maybe the golden apples could just be apples made of gold and she sells them to have money for all the costly repairs to the castle every time someone invaded and destroyed it in an epic battle.


I was sort of concerned when you started the golden apple idea however you added proof which was real nice


It's a combination of alicorn genetics, and the golden apples. The golden apples interact with alicorn genetics differently than with other ponies.


I think its a bit close minded to say that Celestia is "evil" for not sharing golden apples of immortality.  If everyone was immortal then Equestria would eventually be unlivable because there would be too many pony's.  There wouldn't be enough food available either.  Just because you have something doesn't mean you HAVE to share it.  Certain things are better only in the hands of a select few.  Sure it would piss us all off they had it for themselves, but depending on who had it, it would be for the best.  I also don't think Twi would share it with her pals.  Especially if Celestia told her not to.  She is a HUGE rule follower, she would follow it even to the detriment to others.  I like the idea of there being an golden apple and all but personally I think alicorns just have a much longer life span.  A sort of by product.  Or because the writers say so lol


The Secret Ending At The End Of The Video-<br>AWESOME! :0

The Secret Ending At The End Of The Video-
AWESOME! :0


I’ve always had a hunch that something was going on 🤔 love the work you put into this 😁


I love the theories that saw -tooth waves make 🤩😎


You know how you said in the shinning armor video that twilights friends won’t be able to live as long as her well that had me thinking about the crystals maybe twilight made them to bring her friends. But they’re different types of pony’s so she had to divide them to bring them together.


For countless centuries, I've tried to discover the secret of the Golden Apple's gift of Eternal Youth, and ten thousand years ago I've gotten so close, but I used my last Golden Apple Tree about fifty centuries ago... for the remaining centuries I've been searching for more trees. And now, thanks to you, my little grey pony friend, I now know where to get another! And, because of you, Equestria will be laid siege to, then all Ponykind enslaved!😈😈😈


Dude, This gave me the explanation i needed, I've been looking for answers since forever!, thank you! and new subscriber here!


I've been binge watching your old videos and their still enjoyable. It's crazy how much you grown through the years <3

I'm on a road trip rn that's why I'm binge watching lol


I think that this is your best video so far. You must have worked a lot for this one.

Παναγιώτης π


Immorality doesn't prevent ponies from having foals, you know. If Equesrtia ever became overpopulated with immortal ponies, they would starve and turn in to something else, being unable to die. That is, before something else takes over and uses the ponies in experiments to discover the source of their immorality.


Some people are arguing that star swirl has aged over time just because he looks old or something along those lines, but the magical recording of the whole banishing the pony of shadows shows that Starswirl didn't age between going into limbo and leaving limbo, and in the same episode it is stated by twilight "It (limbo) isn't one place or another, its in-between. So time stands still." And personally, I think when star swirl said "Even a pony like me who has lived a thousand years would think he has nothing to learn, but it appears I do have something to learn, Friendship." I think he was also referencing his time in limbo rather than just generally living that long


Maybe only alicorns are able to digest them! It’s very possible that because of the high amounts of magic that are in them that grant longer lives, they would cause problems for normal ponies. Kinda like how a blood overdose can be painful and even kill people/demons in demon slayer


When Sawtooth Said Celestia had an Extremely Powerful Fruit, Until It was Revealed to Be Golden Apples, I thought He Meant the Forbidden Fruit from The Bible


I don't think it's possible for two reasons. First Cadence: she lives really far away from Canterlot and I can't imagine how often she would have to go back to Canterlot just for a few apples. And now that she have Flurry she would need to go even more often !

The second is why did Twilight age then ? Because in "The last problem" she's definitly older than when she sat on the Equestrian throne. I think keeping the normal pony size would be more intelligent as if she's treathned she could easily hide her alicornhood with a cloth.


5:50
What if celestia did use it
Back then when she was younger and naive
What if u can make a wish but there’s a price
Celestia used one but it made her sister go evil
So she had to trap her sister on the moon for 1,000 years?🤔


He’s so quick but so good at explaining like he dosent just be like: hey celestia has golden apples then moves on to the mane 6 in two sec sawtooth you so cool


I wonder if those 2 weird bits are gonna be explored any time soon felt a lot like a cliff hanger


From my theory we all know that the difference from ponys,unicorns,and Pegasus,and alicorns are alicorns magic so there’s a chance immortality has something to do with alicorn magic


I feel like twilight could have taken the magical abutment and changed the age of her friends so they wouldn’t die, ofc just once to make it fair


I'm really happy you uploaded! I found you again last night while I was tryna find mlp theories and I binge watched a lotttt of your videos. It was nice to wake up to this video especially  because I had a nightmare. Keep up the good work Sawtooth, MLP is a part of my childhood and legit is my comfort show when I'm sad


Hey! I found your channel initially about 6-7 years ago. After i fell out of love for the show, I forgot about this channel. But I’ve recently come back and rewatched the series and found your videos again! You’re still doing amazing, and i’m so glad you’ve stuck around!


"How cruel would it be to have the cure for death but keep it all to yourself."
"Even if there was a spell capable of giving immortality [...] it would break the balance. Some would be immortal, others wouldn't. Mortals would begin to envy the immortal. There would be riots. If everyone were immortal, there would be no room for new generations. Equestria would be overcrowded and unable to feed everyone." -- Eveeka, TLA, page 25.

"Golden apples grants wishes to whoever eats them. [..] Surely we would have seen them in use by now."
Maybe... through very cleaver wording, it is why no permanent damage is ever done. Elements of harmony? Friendship magic? Nah, just a very carefully worded and timed wish. XD
"Everything just always somehow magically worked out for you, Celestia." -- Scootertrix, Episode 26.

As for Eternal Youth, I'm sure Rarity would love a bite. ;)


I love this theory. But have you still completed yeh theory of who the shadow pony was in the castle of the two sisters? I know it's a old episode, but it's still a huge mystery, atleast to me. If you have, could someone give me a link


If it really was the apples giving them immortality, would Celestia bring them to silver shoals?


I absolutely love the theory, it sounds very convincing and is a very cool concept. I was honestly surprised when you had mentioned a hint to aboriginal Australian culture. I'm also black Australian, and not a lot of people know about our existence let alone our culture. As far as I have heard, but for you to point that out I knew you really do your research carefully! Keep up the great work Sawtooth!


Can you solve Rookhoof's mystery? Like why did he suddenly get visibly stronger?


Nice bow ;^), and a great video! Loved it form start to end :^)))


I love that you decided to wear a bow for today’s video! So cute sawtooth


Sawtooth is an underrated VA, their voice impressions are always on point


I love your videos your so smart the theories are awesome mlp is full of many mysteries so thank you for making it interesting ❤


Maybe alicorns have to reach a certain age for a specific spell to become immortal or live longer lives than a normal lifespan because luna didn't age at all maybe while she was banished to the moon also a young alicorn like twilight no spell was cast on her as soon as she became an alicorn or really ever so maybe like 20 years later they'll cast the spell and maybe 4 decades for Flurry Heart to give her immortality


even if they do provide immortality
they would be cursed apples because at some point you would become bored,
apathetic,miserable

Celestia wouldn't be evil for keeping it for the alicorns.


I mean, I need to disagree that an item granting youth would be useless to your everydaypony. Let's be frank - being old sucks. It doesn't mattrer whether you live "only" max 80-100 years, downsides of age start hitting you around your 30's or 40's, so it would be great to not have to suffer from it, even if it didn't extend your life per se.


I’m just glad this side of her is finally getting addressed by someone :’)


Off topic but I am curious:
Has it ever been explained why Starlight Glimmer has not become an alicorn? Did she fail her studies or gave up?
Starlight is proven to be a very powerful unicorn, I doubt she would fail. If that is the case, why would she give up?
I have not seen all the episodes in sometime, so I might be going for stretches here, but maybe another explanation could tie into another theory.

It is theorised that Luster Dawn is Sunburst's and Trixie's/Starlight's daughter. What if Starlight gave up her studies once she saw Luster's magical potential? Maybe Starlight could still be consumed with guilt over what she did to the village. Maybe she saw Luster as a better candidate for being the next Alicorn Princess?

Celestia and Luna did rule for a thousand years before making new alicorn princesses, at the end of their reign, maybe it is that Twilight planned to do the same?


When he said that Twilight could have share her diet of golden apple but she didn't because immortality is something that you can't share it made me think that maybe only alicorn can eat golden apples without getting sick, maybe the golden apples can be poisonous to normal pony or other creatures because if golden apples have magic maybe it takes all three pony magic to digest


This is such a cool theory! I always love the feminine things in your hair! Sparkle ✨ 🦄


Celestia could of wished for eternal youth


You know it’s a good day when sawtooth uploads


A Golden Apple a Day keeps the reaper away 💀


Correct me if I'm wrong, but in Greek mythology only the golden apples could be touched by the Greek gods because if a mortal touched it, they would die, so that could be another possible theory.


nope the reason celestia lived so long is bc everyone 50 years a pony lives celestia only gains 1 year


Hi sawtooth could you talk about Princess Luna's Mark splotch? I'm going to make an assumption that the splotch isnt a part Luna's cutie mark because the splotch wasn't gone when Luna gave her magic to twilight . We saw that daybreaker now has a new splotch that Celestia didnt have before. is the splotch the cause of turning evil or was it just starlight glimmers imagination?


I was so happy when you did this video. Thank you so much 💕.


The thing is though, only Celestia and Luna are immortal or just have extended lifespans, because according to everything else didn't the creators say Twilight aged and died shortly after her friends? She's not immortal by any means, but also seemed to not have had a successor (looking at the new generation) so really, I have no idea what's going on with the royal sisters.


I have a theory that golden apples only work on alicorns, because like you said alicorns are ponies that have magic from all three tribes, so alicorns and normal ponies might have a different biologies. And only alicorns can eat the golden apple because their biologies can sustain golden apples, while normal ponies can't and maybe when they eat golden apples something bad will happen to them(ex. they can die). But that's just my theor. (sorry if the grammar is not correct, english isn't my first language)


Omg I am so happy to be one of the first ones to watch this. Love your pony avatar, backstop<br> and voice and most of all your effort. The effort u put into you clone story, time skip story back story and this intro story. Luv ur work!

I click on the video and hear "forget everything you know about Celestia" lol


This was an awesome theroy to think about but something else is on my mind...
    What happened to t reck(goodness I can't spell his name correctly)Queen Chyrysalis and of course CozyGlow's Statue?
    Where is it today in the new generation?
😅This keeps bugging my mind.... but yeah!


I just assumed that Celestia's power came from her ability to be tall enough to ride all of the rides in Los Pegasus! 🤤


This would make a lot of sense referenced in multiple mythologies, even possibly Christian mythology though it's never explicitly stated there is a possibility it still exists though it's not the fruit that Adam and Eve ate, Because it wasn't even an Apple that they eat in that only gave them knowledge not long life/yourh


I like how we're talking bout this but not about the fact lunas hair started to move after she was saved from being nightmare moon but celestias hair was already moving before luna became nightmare moon

{☆•Ńěżůķø ćhăņ•☆}


When I saw the title, I immediately thought "Dang, had Celestia gone full Dumbledore?" XD


i  think if the golden apples were to gain immortality, twilight would make the decision to remain mortal, something that she would discuss with the other 5.


Ah yes, this must be the long foreshadowed Celestia is secretly Grogar theory.<br>I HAVE BEEN BAMBOOZLED

OH MY GOSH YOUR BOW IS ADORABLE. Anyways, I remember you connecting mlp with mythology. This makes so much sense! ❤


Cool, but I have another question that might not be related to this.<br>Why does Human Twilight have wings when she ponies up in the HUMAN WORLD, but not the pony world. In other words, shouldn’t she have NO wings in BOTH places because she isn’t REALLY an alicorn? Am I going too deep with this one?!

Wish granting items in fiction tend to have limits depending on where they come from too. I remember in DBZ that the pig character, can't remember his name for the life of me, suggested that they get rid of the sayians before they came to earth but Shenlong said that the task was not possible for him to do for whatever reason


Maybe they give you a mites touch and what ever you touch after eating one turns to gold


I’ve been a fan sense he had 100 subscribers. I’m actually proud, sawtooth


You do a great job with these videos ^^ and the possibilities of each and every theory you claim really make us think :)

Also what would a golden apple even taste like? XD

@Sawtooth Waves thank goodness ^^ I don’t think I’d like the taste of something metallic in my mouth. And luckily I like apples so :)

thank you!!! well in the comics pinkie seemed to think it tasted especially good, so probably not like gold XD


I believe that alicorns can and will die, they just have much longer life spans because they hold magic from all pony species.


That's true we always assumed long lifespan and different aging had something to do with alicornhood, but that's true that it was never directly said.
However I think immortality/long lifespan is not exclusive to alicornhood, if your theory about Starswirl being a thousand years old aside from his time into Limbo is right.

While I'm here, and I'm sorry to talk about it at each video, but I'd really like my theory to be acknowledged...
I'd like to talk again about my comment on the video about the forgotten timeline, the original timeline going on without Starlight, Twilight and Spike who traveled in time.
I wondered, if the time travelers ended up in a timeline that isn't theirs, tho identical, where are their alter egos from this timeline?
And the answer was easy to find, they traveled in time too.
That means they too created other timelines (probably the same ones as the original time travelers created, considering this timeline is identical to the original) and ended up in a timeline that isn't theirs but is identical. And in this timeline too, their alter egos traveled in time and ended up in an other timeline, and so on. That means from here, the timeline split turned into a timeloop that creates timesplits.
So from here there's an infinity of timelines created, supposedly of each outcome we saw in the series, including the one identical to the original timeline but in which the time travelers were there at the Rainboom. But there still is only one original timeline missing the time travelers...
And I'm so eager for this to be known because when I realized that infinite loop of timesplits I thought it was so big and MLP went too far into chaos... And because infinity is something that personally scares me, so thinking about it made me sick.

So I thought of a solution to abort this chaos.
I think likely that great minds and sorcerers as Starlight and Twilight (with unfathomably valuable allies as Starswirl, Sunburst and Stygian for example) would come to talk about such a big thing and spot the problem, and organize an expedition through the timelines to do so the time travelers go back to their own timeline after the final travel. Their travel would then apply in a timeloop where the otherwise abandoned timeline was actually never abandoned, and... it actually doesn't solve the infinite loop of splits.
But hey, it's a good start!
OR ELSE
The expedition could do so the last travel actually leads to the original timeline, to create a loop where the travelers were actually always here at the rainboom in the original timeline, and the new timeline that is identical to the original but is a separate one is not created, so there is no other timeline where Starlight, Twilight and Spike traveled in time.

There, time travel mess solved! I really hope you see this very too long comment, Sawtooth Waves.
Thanks for reading, and sorry about mistakes, English is not my native language and we talk about seriously complex things here...


i wouldnt say celestia is evil cuz she wont give immortality to everyone...perhaps only alicorns are "strong enough" to consume the Golden apples without negative effects/consequences?


Am I the only one that just never questioned celesta being alive for 1000 years


The ancient Mythology that i learned is that Unicorns and Pegasus live longer than earth ponies and alicorns live up to 10 times longer than that. That would mean an average life span of 250 years!


4:21 Legend says that Applejacks eyebrow is still floation and going up in the sky and has reached the solar system😆😆


Now don’t take me wrong i love your theory but what if the so called “Golden Apple Tree” is just an apple tree with a spell put on it


Being an Alicorn makes them  stay alive and the apples make  them look young


Oh my, I can't believe that you managed to catch THE ONLY time the Apple Golden Tree is mentioned


@Sawtooth Waves Can someone explain to me why Twillight from the Human-World does have wings when she "Pony-Up" and doesn't have wings when she is in Equestria? Twillight from Equestria and Rainbow Dash from Human-World on the other hand has wings in both worlds.

@Reese Yes, but if SciTwi isn't a alicorn why would the magic give her wings. Why hasn't she the same "Pony-Up"-Form as Rarity and Sunset?

Because SciTiw isn't an alicorn; the wings were there because of the magic.


I think Celistia's golden appel tree is just a golden apple tree... If it could do anything special, Twilight would have used it or mentioned it :-)


I think Immortality for Alicorns are Natural. There magic keeps them young. That's why they have magic waving hair


all i know is gapples give a strength boost and absorption hearts so maybe theyre like healing apples


I once read this book that has this alchemist that made a potion of eternal life, but forgot to drink the one for youth, some funny stuff happened when he finally remembered to drunk the one for youth


I think it comes with being an alicorn and some dark magic spell (sombra)


Well I have a suggestion I think that when celestia banished luna to the moon she gained immortality from the elements of harmony


okay I need a story about what happened to flurry heart, in mlp new generation she's not mentioned or seen throughout the movie, while twilight has action figures of her and her friends. Flurry was put into stained glass in the last episode of my little pony. but where is she now


What about Luna/Nightmare Moon? She was on the moon for a millennium, and hadn't aged... Unless 'tia sent some to the moon every so often to keep her corrupted sister alive?


Thank you for making these videos they keep us entertained I’m sure you work so hard thank you for working hard to entertain use


So, going back to the alternate timelines, When Starlight stopped the rainboom did the main six ever get their cutiemarks? Because they got their cutiemarks because of the rainboom. So, would they have their cutiemarks? -Snowdrop


Fun fact : opaline quotes this “ They should bow down to there IMMORTAL rulers.” THATS a big hint that your theory is wrong. I mean OPALINE has lived for so long maybe even before twilights time (maybe)


My theory is that alicorn magic + the golden apple = eternal life that means Twilight was not able to give it to her friends.


Corruption lays deep in the heart of Pony bureaucracy!


But why would celestia have a dark secret?

Why? WHY?<br>If you have to ask, you're not ready to know.

Why? WHY?
If you have to ask, you're not ready to know.


I'm confused why does Celestia have golden apples I mean there a golden apple tree well it a lifetime for Alicorns not Ponies tho but what if the golden apples help the ponies stay young or turn into an alicorns well it strange but it real for some people. I been a long-time viewer and how the quality of your videos improved is honestly inspiring. 🥰


This was amazing but there is one thought in my head which is who takes care of the dream realm ever since Luna was gone?


This video gives me ARG vibes. I don't know why, but I certainly enjoy it ^~^<br>Also enjoyed the references to various mythologies. Maybe you can find a way to do a theory involving the fountain of youth and Tir Nan Og? I wouldn't be surprised if the Hippogriffs/Sea ponies have something similar to that

Thank you for finally using comics after all these years of me pestering you <3


Omg early I love your channel<br>Also I appreciate how much effort you put in your videos it’s so amazing seeing your hard work

Omg early I love your channel
Also I appreciate how much effort you put in your videos it’s so amazing seeing your hard work

Hey I have a theory
Wait I have a theory:
Maybe twilight didn’t know about the golden apples maybe tia put the apple in her food without her knowing that’s why the rest of mane 6 aren’t immortal because tia Knew if twilight would know she would give it to her friends and tia only wanted alicorns to be immortal 🧐🧐🧐


What if the golden apples give eternal youth to only alicorns and not anyone else


omg omg omg, FINALLY someone other than me noticed that spike said that. I probably noticed it years ago, and I wanted it to be talked about for all that time. Thank you Sawtooth!


I knew Celestia was the Ancient One from the cinematic Marvel universe and the first 10 seconds of this video proved it ;)


I think that alacorns are mortal and twilight just went through a Second puberty and grows into the big form we see in the final episode and there is some evidence that this is the case like the fact that twilight became taller when she became an alacorn and for the people who say "but twilight was an alacorn for years and we never see her grow at all" might I remind you that the cutey mark crusaders grow at all over the years of time that we see them so it is possible that twilight is growing and we just don't see it happening


also, even IF her golden apples could grant long life or wishes, i dont think it would nessisarily be a BAD thing she didnt share them. think about what happens if something as powerful as everlasting life or wish granting was available to just ANYONE. or even if it was just public information. rioting, wars over this kinda power, people getting these powers that dont have good intentions, or at the VERY best, overcrowding or chaos. the world would be a dark place is EVERYONE could live forever or could get wishes simply by getting an apple from celestia. thats why if her fruit COULD do that, i could understand keeping it to just those who had important, over ruling jobs.


is the bow on your avatar new (i havent seen a video of yours in a while)? its cute :))


It all starts adding up the Applefamily has been blacked mailed by celestia


New theory what if the mirror pool is in fact a window into other timelines and when pinky used it she wasn't cloning herself but instead grabbing pinkies from other timelines that didn't know her memories because they had different ones.


I was half expecting an army of PJO fans to rise but anyway, this theory isnt the most likely as there are villains and there’s discord. They have lived for like a thousand years but still. Great video!


In the journal of the two sisters celestia and luna when they were just crowned alicorns they didn’t have there cutie marks luna said it’s normal for alicorns because we don’t age or something so celestia and luna got there cutie marks when they were alicorns


Saw tooth what was that little golden apple thing in the security camera thing at the end in the beginning great video by the way but I’ve got questions I hope next week you will provide answers


hey you know the celestia and luna in the human realm how are they alive when the pony world version of them were born around 111 years ago (princes twilight time)


Ok I would like to talk about season 1 episode 11 because spike mistakes twilight for “mommy” We know that he doesn’t have a mom since we saw twilight hatch his EGG… So. You in for a theory?
