Yeah, Hearth's Warming is a kinda dark holiday if you really think about it. Be friendly or else. It's an interesting in universe explanation for why the world is so saccharine. It's an survival response. If there is too much strife, magical predators will freeze everything. Not what you would normally expect out of a kids show.

I think it's more like, "don't be racist or else".


This was a great episode, if only because it led to some amazing fan stories about Equestria's past. If anyone needs reading material, I'd be more than happy to make suggestions. On a tangent, I recently made some artwork based on one such story in which our Rarity gets a first-hoof look at Equestria's past via a magic spell gone haywire.

this was a heart warming magical episode


Here is the lyrics to the extended The a Heart Carol song.

As dawn shine every morn
The fire of friendship is reborn
All the friendships we have made
We cherish in every way
Loyalty binds us and make us stronger
Honestly shows that we belong
And kindness shared will unite us through each day
The fire of friendship lives within our hearts
As long as it burn, we cannot drift apart
Though quarrels arise, their numbers are few
Laughter and singing will see us through
See us through
We are a circle of pony friends
A circle we'll be until to the very end


Twilight: “What's wrong?”
Rarity points at us: “That is what's wrong!”
Us: Aww, that's not very nice. We're just humans.


Poor earth ponies <br>They had the HARDEST job out of those two tribes, they had to farm tons of food and maintain it everyday for the Pegasi,unicorns and themselves to eat.

@@honeycat3590 Well, the unicorns and pegasi have outfits made of good looking material while the earth pony were in dirty rags

@@sweetheartmashupsbabe they’re not royal like the unicorns and they’re not warlike like the Pegasus<br>So they couldn’t allow themselves either jewel cape or the armour

"The Wendigo, the wendigo / I saw it just a friend ago."

Mythological cannibalistic creatures made partially of ice and snow to replace the chunks of themselves they've consumed when they could not eat others, known in poem and song to sow discord then lure singular people away from camp in the cold, then spirit them away to eat, so forcefully and quickly that only bloody stumps of feet are left behind. They are cursed, always starving, and you can tell one is near by the smell of disease and decay.

One of the nastier creatures brought in via real-world mythologies to the show.

Yeah it's like ghost zombies that (more kid friendly version feeds on negative energy instead of bodies, but still a creature like that is maid when a should died eating there own

@@espenbuhaugsveinungsen9572 it reminds me of call of duty

@@espenbuhaugsveinungsen9572 amps2b said too many words in this reaction/episode


Unicornia is an actual reference to mlp in G3 where in the previous generation, all unicorns live there and the G3 pegasi and earth ponies dont even know they exist until a certain event - the unicorn toys are also very scarce compared to pegasi, (which are also lesser in amount too) and especially earth ponies

Unicornia knows how to party Unicornia knows how to party


Hes still doing the glasses thing! What a trooper.


Notice how commander Hurricane started out in the story as a male being addressed as sir and ends being female with Fluttershy ( private pansy) explaining how she doesn't really hate her. which was kind of appropriate being that Rainbow Dash whom played Hurricane is quite a tomboy.


My favorite heartswarming episode is "a heartswarming tale " in season 6 but this is also a good one.


This is a good episode. The history is pretty good. The way it ties in with the main story is great. Okay the prejudice is really strong.


This is my favorite episode bc I loved their play a lot!


I’m obviously the only person who wants to ask this: HOW MANY PAIRS OF SUNGLASSES DO YOU OWN!?!? <br>😂😂

😂😂


This is currently my favourite episode of Season 2


I really wish they did say "saint neighcholas" that would have been amazing lol


Pudding head is objectively the villain here.

We all know that from Hitler to Palpatine, anyone with the title of Chancellor is bad news.


"I like cheesy." Well, Twilight sure doesn't.


8:47 that role should be reversed. OH YEAH!
I always saw the symbolism to a degree but it wasn't till recently that I saw the Wendigos for what they are. The physical manifestation of racism itself.

Not really about racism. They're all still ponies. It's more about Western and Eastern Europe.


I don't know why everyone compares the Windigos to Wendigos. Outside of the name and association with cold being an obvious reference, I really don't see /any/ similarities.


Are the Sirens/Dazzlings related to the wendigos? Cause they both feed on negative energy.


I can't remember the last time i went to see a play.


Well, at least the big man himself saw my comment. That’s good enough for me!

Happy late heartwarmings Winter! Hope you and anyone else reading this had a great time.

@@steathlizard3337 Happy belated Hearthswarming to you too! Turns out I caught Covid a few days ago but didn’t get sick until the 26th, so thankfully I was still able to enjoy Christmas.
