Not a bad theory, though we haven't seen Starlight use dream magic before or since. I can't help but look back on the events of 'A Royal Problem'. If Starlight had any control over the dream realm, I kinda feel like she would have done more with that.<br>Does that make sense?

Does that make sense?

And the changelings would never be reformed

And the changelings would never be reformed

To be honest I think a lot of it was trying to teach the royal sisters a lesson and there's going into the dream realm with the intention of controlling it and there's having a dream and not realising it.

@Sawtooth Waves I was actually thinking the same thing when I was watching this episode

Also by the way dragons eat jems and Chrystals are Jems so would spike eat the walls of the Chrystal empire?

@Sawtooth Waves Starlight tampered with the stability of space, time!!

@Sawtooth Waves or maybe she didnt use it because she doesnt want luna to know she has some ways to enter and manipulate the dream realm as well???

@Sawtooth Waves  Hey Sawtooth Waves! this theory had me thinking of what the former villain Starlight was doing before her big come back which lead to the chance in the alternative universe. And sure enough, I saw something that stuck in my brain. In season 5 of mlp in Amending Fences; you see Twilight trying to get Moondancer to reconnect with her and their old friends. But in the background I saw a certain Mane color that I couldn't deny...which as Starlight's hair color! I think she had a reason to want to eardrops on a personal connecting that includes Princess Twilight Sparkle...But what was her reason?

@Ashwitha Peddi well like he said Starlight could have some walking dream power to some extent but not as great as Luna’s

@Sawtooth Waves  you are making video with out asking the mane 6 first.

@XML PRODUCTIONS  who will replace luna job in the dream realm sawooth already make that video but in gen 4 https://youtu.be/FYf2Kx47zJE but who will replace luna's job in the dream realm  in gen 5

@XML PRODUCTIONS and who will visiting the drean realm and other ponys dream who will never a nigthmare and be good other pony

@XML PRODUCTIONS im asking him that questions a same think

@XML PRODUCTIONS im asking him that questions a same think

@Sawtooth Waves SAWTOOTH IN G5 WE KNOW THAT THE PRINCESES ARE GONE SO WHO CONTROLS THE SUN AND THE MOON

I am an earth pony student but I am a descentant of a changeling princess and an alicorn prince.

@Sawtooth Waves  king thorax will be mad when he finds out that your been keeping secrets from him and the hive.

@Sawtooth Waves I asked if you could look into a theory in the twilight sparkle killed pinkie pie video. Could you check it out?

@Sawtooth Waves the least king thorax can do is pick a female for the heir because a male give birth on his own.

Thorax should be punished for going against his own mother.

Thorax should be punished for going against his own mother.

@Ashwitha Peddi oh yeah that's so true! Even Luna gets caught up in dreams!

@Sawtooth Waves But what about Sweetiebell and Scootaloo? They both had nightmares about their cutiemarks too, and wouldn't Starlight during her Research phase go after the three ponys closet to the mane six even if it's their dreams?

@Sawtooth Waves don’t listen to him or her you tried your best

@Sawtooth Waves don’t listen to him or her you tried your best

Is  the changeling queen chrysalis break free from stone?

Is  the changeling queen chrysalis break free from stone?

While I disagree with starlight appearing in Apple blooms dream I could see her casting somekind of nightmare spell themed around cutiemarks in the hopes of converting Apple bloom

@Sawtooth Waves Another interesting video!  Any chance you might do one on a MLP mystery that has always bothered me?  Who was actually delivering the pen-pal messages between Tirek and Cozy Glow?  The only one that fits is Discord but that opens up a lot of issues.  Everyone else either lacks the power to get into Tartarus or would not allow such messages (or at worst read them).

@Ashwitha Peddi why did prince  sawtooth leave the hive and his mom queen ocellus and dad king pharynx and 2 youger brothers pawtooth and jawtooth and 3 older sisters larynx and locellus and lorax?

Well, princess Luna never had controlled her dream. Remember the episode do princesses dream of magic sheep. It clearly states that Luna also had guilt from her past, which she had to overcome in the event, a royal problem. She knew it was a dream but was still afraid. Yes, you can say that she didn't have dream magic, but Luna's duties in that episode you, see that the real thing that cured ponies of their nightmares was Luna's interaction, not dream magic, so ya.

@Sawtooth Waves  why did you bring these unformed changelings here sawtooth?

@Sawtooth Waves where’s the crystal empire in the new generation? Please make a video about this!

In Apple Bloom's dream, she went in with a plan. Plus, trying to influence a highly impressionable kid is a hell of a lot easier than trying to calm down two pissed off megalomaniac alicorns who are both crazier than rabid chiwowwows on meth. Plus, by the time Daybreaker appeared in her dream, Starlight was already well on the way to full panic meltdown.

@Sawtooth Waves That's fair. I was thinking more of the point when Celestia showed up since it would have been more clearly identifiable as a dream. Though, upon reflection, Starlight was mostly focused on the horror of potentially driving the Two Sisters into another fight at the time. So, I can believe she might not be that active.
Good point, well made ^^
At this point, there's nothing else that comes to mind.

Starlight didn't realize it was a dream until afterwards!! being able to walk in dreams doesn't mean you can't have dreams of your own as well


It's too bad that Starlight never really revealed much about what the things she did during her time plotting revenge, because i could've totally imagined Starlight saying-"I spied on you and your friends for months, trying to figure out how to get revenge on all of you."

@Dawn O Starlight you were not there at the time what happened, no I was then I was spied on at the time so no need tells me.  :O

I’ve watched all season of mlp but I didn’t know starlight was actually spying on them

𝙼𝚊𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚇_𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚝𝚣𝟹

I could totally picture her saying that all embarrassed lmao

clips of her plotting revenge would've been such a good mini-series


starlight is extremely strong,if she didn’t chose friendship she could be a extremely strong villain with chrysalis,tirek and cozy glow and they could have took over the world with them

@Karen Arriola that is so weird to read as a reply

Starlight is incredibly strong, if she didn’t choose friendship she could’ve been an extremely strong villain along with Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow, and they could’ve taken over the world with them

SORRY IM A GRAMMAR FREAK

Yes, but she is not necessarily a villain in that way. Taking over the world wouldn’t help her in her mission.

@The Tinykid no matter what one thing is obvious: Starlight is just better twilight

Honestly it would of made a better story if they didnt fully redeem starlight and let her be the third villain at the end of the story instead of cozy glow. It always felt weird that they magically imprisoned a child to cruel punishment and starlight was redeemed. She would have been a better villain too.

Honestly, I think if she joined them the villains would win for once.

@Theoss2007 I'm wondering how useful they'd actually be, in all honesty.

@Ennard the Funtime Puppet well, tbf, he's a god. Also, tbf, the comment wasn't whose stringer, it was that Starlight would make a badass continuous villain. Which I agree with.

@Theoss2007 <br>If Discord was ever Serious about his Plans he could have ended the Show with one Snap

@Theoss2007
If Discord was ever Serious about his Plans he could have ended the Show with one Snap

@Theoss2007
Yea, he can literally erase a Character in the MLP Universe,
Like thanos

@Ennard the Funtime Puppet 1 snap and boom, say goodbye to the world

Nah, Discord is more Stronger than that Unicorn

If Starlight sided with the villains, then I guess Celestia and Luna would've put their hands in with the mane 6 to fight against her and her allies

@Dulcet Nuance well now that mental image is stuck in my head! Haha 🤣🤣

Honestly I love Starlight and Chrysalis' hero/villain duo

@SoDecay <br>Nothing too wrong with that.

Lol you don't know how to use punctuation

though remember chysalis changed everyone to changelings after she left for that party.

I think if starlight was in the same boat as Chrysalis, Tirek, Cozy Glow and Sombra i think Starlight would of struck out on her own. I could see her trying to get a hang of Sombra magic or wait for him to be booped so she can lock up and boop the mane 6.

The image of a Hitler style rally but with starlight at the podium comes to mind. But instead of red flags with white circles and swastikas its just a crap load of equal signs. I'd just like to thank you for that mental image.

Yeah Without alicorn magic she... Manipulate Time,Vaporise A Bridge,Remove Cutie Marks,Collapsed A Mountain,Travel at the speed of a Fighter jet,Duplicate Herself


This theory especially makes sense when you consider that Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo say they had similar dreams that same night! Not to mention the colt from the CMC Camp the trio starts after getting their cutie marks. He turns an entire group of colts and fillies against cutie marks using a message almost identical to Apple Bloom's dream. I'm curious as to just how many young pony's dreams Starlight might've had a hoof in during this period of time. Kinda scary if you think about it...

@Crazieman <br>IKR! Rumble making a starlight reference would have been pretty kool

@Crazieman
IKR! Rumble making a starlight reference would have been pretty kool

There was a lot of wasted potential in the cutie mark camp episode and not cross referencing it with Starlight and her <b>cough</b> manifesto reference.

There was a lot of wasted potential in the cutie mark camp episode and not cross referencing it with Starlight and her *cough* manifesto reference.


I think this makes a lot of sense. I think Starlight could have had a hand in Applebloom's dream. It would make for an interesting fanfic story where Starlight tells everypony about what she had been doing the entire time throughout Season 5 between the premiere and the finale. I could imagine if Luna caught her, Luna would say, "I'm banishing you to the Shadow Realm!" And then Starlight says, "You can't banish me there! I can come and go on my own free will!"

Actually, there is a fanfic about how Starlight is able to manipulate the dream world. You guys remember Tantabus? Well, in that fanfic, this Tantabus is the upgraded and better version of the previous Tantabus. It can talks, it has its own personality, etc. Luna made it with her magic, so i guess you could say that Tantabus is her daughter (or son if you will. Tantabus can change its gender anytime it wants. Althought, it stayed as a mare throughout most of the fanfic). Anyway, about Starlight. So, in one of the chapter, Starlight read everything she could on dream magic. She then, did a lucid-dreaming and met with Tantabus. I forgot why, but she took the Tantabus out of the dream world into the real world with her magic. Now, i can't really explain all of it since i kinda forget. You guys can check it out for yourself tho. It's called "Tantabus Mk. II" and you can find it in the FimFiction website.

She does have her own council but final say goes to her. She has no term limits.

Headcanon accepted.

Oh wow. 91 upvotes in one hour? I wish I could have that with my video uploads!


This is by far, the best theory you did. Well done! I have a small mini-theory request: Is it possible there are other equalists out there, either old believers from the village or elsewhere? We know that the belief in the evil nature of cutiemarks isn`t unique to Starlight, since the crusaders have dealt with an equalist on their camp.

@IndoDINO Youtube ya know... that's plausible.

We don’t ever actually interact with Rumble between Hurricane Fluttershy and the episode where the CMC set up their camp, so we don't actually know Rumble's personality until that episode.

It is quite possible Starlight went into his dream too at some point and it changed his view of Cutie Marks simply on the premise of it locking him into 1 specific thing.

We just never saw it because Rumble was just in the background and Starlight probably assumed he shook off her influence just as Apple Bloom had, completely unaware his mindset was indeed changed

I'm personally wondering if the colt the CMCs had to deal with is another victim of Starlight's possible dream walking...


This all depends on how much control/connection Luna has to the dream realm. I have the feeling that Luna would be able to detect some unnatural presence in her realm

Or maybe part of what drew Luna's attention to the CMC's bad dreams <i>was</i> the sense of an unatural presence? Sure she helps stop bad dreams, but maybe she doesn't have to stop every bad dream every night- just certain ones. Like recurring dreams or any that give her a "disturbance in the force" sense? Maybe this night fell under multiple categories for concern?

We know that the belief in the evil nature of cutiemarks isn`t unique to Starlight, since the crusaders have dealt with an equalist on their camp.

@Sawtooth Waves Also it might have been a safer alternative to falling asleep in case Twilight and the other Princesses went looking for her. She was probably paranoid about Luna finding her while she was dreaming.

but at the same time, starlight may know how to cloak herself or stealthily sneak around undetected


Hey, Sawtooth.

You should do a theory on what the Everfree Forest used to be. The comics had stated that the forest was formerly a well kept garden until Discord’s Ex, Cosmos, came to Equestria for the first time.

But as The Nameless One explained, not everything takes place in the same universe. And as far as we know, there was no Cosmos takeover in canon

@Majora Alright. Thank you for not starting a war :D(Some people have started wars with me)

@King Frog i unfortunately don't know spanish, but i have heard that certain elements of the comic are canon while others aren't before and i'll look into that at some point.

@Majora Actually, half and half, half of the comics are uncanon and half are canon, I would recommend you someone to know which are canon and which aren't but it's a spanish YouTuber and I don't know if you know Spanish- I don't intend to be mean or start s fight just to inform you

@Majora
Exactly my point

And if that isn’t the reason why the Everfree Forest, a place which follows more IRL physics, is a thing in the world that has everything controlled by ponies, including the day and night cycle and weather

that and...well, the comics aren't really canon to the show's timeline unfortunately.


I guess she could’ve learnt how to walk into ponies’ dream from either from books or from Luna. I guess Starlight would’ve used the information she gained from the dreams she’s walked in against the Mane Six

@Rainbow Dragon yes, but i´m not sure, dreamwalking could be learned. in the thousand years, luna was banished, celestia never managed to figure it out, as "she has no power in the realm of dreams" as luna put it in the tantibus episode.

also, despite luna being able to do it normally, when her cutie mark was switched, she became unable to do so herself, despite her being the expert in it.

so it seems to be an unique ability, that cant be easily copied.

@proclarushtaonasat I said she could’ve learnt and I never said she 100% did it

I dont think, she can do that. dreamwalking seems to be exclusive to luna.

I think, that "Bloom and Gloom" was supposed to be Starlights origin story, re-enacted by applebloom. Many complained, that starlights reason for being evil, was glossed over in the finale, but weve seen it happen to one of the mane characters of the show, the only difference, is that starlight didnt have luna to save her, also she didnt have the best of relationships with her dad, and lacked other friends, so she strayed from her path.


This is probably one of the most believable theories, things aline up very well, things overall make sense, few thinks to debate, all with good logical counters.


Can we just appreciate that how it has been 2 years and MLP has ended and even a new generation has come, but instead of focusing on that only Sawtooth is taking time for g4 too and keeping the fandom alive
and i was worried that now no one will focus on solving the tiny things in MLP g4
but Saw still has G4's back
WELL DONE SAWTOOTH KEEP THIS UP
WE LOVE UR THEORIES AND PMVs
💖👍🌈🤩😊


It’s sad to say that Starlight was the MOST dangerous villain 😧❤

@Sagrika Bali All Cozy did was lie until she got real powers.

@Guytrash Gurtdog he kind of needs to do things in a constantly chaotic way or else he risks disappearing from existence.

Idk I think Starlight came the closest to actually dooming all of Equestria and probably would have if Twilight hadn't talked her out of it.

Personally I think discord is. They basically imply countless times he’s the most powerful being in existence in the show and comics, he just doesn’t seem to use it nearly as dangerously as he could. But I guess then starlight was the most dangerous and discord could’ve been way worse but just chose not to go that far.

@Sagrika Bali nope. Chrysalis, Cozy Glow & Tirek can't effect the time line like she did

For me starlight glimmer is my favorite character

@Sagrika Bali yeah but they cannot affect time like starlight, starlight mastered the magic of destiny.

Wrong. The most dangerous villains are Chrysalis, Cozy Glow & Tirek.


6:24
You can hear the joy in their voice, it's amazing... XD

Edit: That laugh sounded actually completely genuine. And really sweet as well. Just from the sound of that, I'd absolutely bet you that the real Sawtooth, aside from the serious voiceover and theories, is probably so much fun to hang out with. Not saying the voiceover is not authentic, the theories and logical reasoning is most likely a big part of their personality as well, but it definitely isn't all there is to Sawtooth. And that laugh sounded so sweet and genuinely joyful, I'd love to see that shine through more often. But no pressure, these are Sawtooth's videos, they're supposed to be comfortable with them.

Edit 2: I want that quote on a sticker and I'm getting it. This is going on my laptop. XD

Some kind of stretched out version of Impact? Idk... It looks like Calibri...

@French The Fennec Fox Not sure which one is "the default one", but most programs I opened had Calibri as default, and that's definitely not it.

@Die Hasis it's just a bigger size of the default one

Does anyone know what font that is? ;-;<br>It looks like Arial, but it just won't be right! XD

Does anyone know what font that is? ;-;
It looks like Arial, but it just won't be right! XD

You're definitely right. They're one of my favorite people to be around 😊


Hearing this theory made me realize these plots are very similar.
Reoccurring scenarios that start the same but are different because
of one small change and all of them result in negative consequences.
The "Dolphin" scenario is also similar to Starlight's backstory.

But if this theory is true, why would Starlight let the negative consequences from
removing Applebloom's mark happen in the first two scenarios?


I just realized it’s literally a cult. Starlight started a cult-

Yeah the writers actually did a good job depicting how cult leaders like Starlight brainwash people as PG a way as possible.

@IndoDINO Youtube nah that’s just a cult. Real communism is nothing like that lol

@HD Universe This show has always had a knack for politics and extremism. Especially in the new generation movie if you've seen it

I find it odd for stuff like this to be on a TV-Y rated show but that's probably just me

@Joetino Official Good idea! Oh, and if you want to add some photoshops from WW2, making changelings the fascists would probably make a lot of sense.

@Samuel Trusik Personally I think that colt may have been another victim of Starlight's dream walking.

@Joetino Official I mean the song the first song they sing is LITERALLY called "In Our Town."

And Starlight always refers to the village as "our village" not "my village".

So yeah, essentially they are communist.

@Sawtooth Waves This is by far, the best theory you did. Well done!

yep! on the more extreme side of cultiness too


You nailed it, in my opinion. <br>Starlight, by the time she sat in on Twilight's presentation, most likely already had the spell 99% complete, only needing the exact time to go back to for maximum effect. Once she knew about the event she needed to disrupt, all she would need to do is check the exact time of the event, finish writing the spell, then sit back and wait for Twilight to come home.

I don't think starlight could have ever FULLY accessed the dream realm. Even an alicorn princess who's cutie mark is about dream walking can still have troubles. I think she can just blurrily influence and maybe watch bits and pieces of it. She probably found some sort of ancient spell.


This was a very interesting idea. I watched the scene where Applebloom has these dreams, and I noticed the shadow had a dual voice, sounding like two voices were speaking at once. Maybe one of those voices was Starlight's, since according to your theory, she was puppeting the shadow. Also, I had no idea that Starlight was in the background spying during those two scenes you pointed out.


Oh my god when I was an actual toddler watching this episode and saw the shadow thing in AB’s dream I genuinely,honest to god said to myself “what she’s saying sounds like what the purple equal mark lady was saying in that other episode”,not helped by the shadow and starlight having the same voice actress in my country’s dub,and was so disappointed when it was just AB herself,I thought it was such a wasted opportunity,so seeing this thumbnail and title I felt vindicated. Thanks theori hors

@Bonk Soda Well guess toddler isn’t really the right word then,since I was around six or five

So I'm assuming your around the age of 10?
If you were a toddler (assuming 3) at the time
And season 5 came out in 2015
And it's been 6 years since then
Qnd adding those comes to 9 but I'm going to just say around 10


I think Starlight may have tries to recruit the Mane 6's little ones who looked up to them. Scootalo was upset about not being able to fly. Apple Bloom was worried about her cutie mark. Sweetie Belle, um, she didn't really have anything to be upset about, but still. Starlight attempted to recruit Apple Bloom, but Apple Bloom was too good.

Sweetie Belle has doutes about herself when  compared to her sister

Tbh, all the CMC was worried about their cutie marks.

Didn’t sweetie belle have trouble using magic


I wonder if starlight ever went out to partner with groups who are against twilight<br>It seems that starlight was rather confident ( I guess she mostly is) but like you had mentioned starlight had been gathering info. Infact i would take the stretch to say that starlight has caused more problems with the cutie mark crusaders

Omg I didn't know you would like it thank you! You are so smart!


Man you never running out of ideas!! U always manage to surprise me with these amazing videos :D


This somehow makes Evil Starlight even more sinister than she already was...

Headcanon accepted.


Thanks, this was a theory I had ever since "Bloom and Gloom" first aired, my only basis being "Mysterious voice says cutie marks are bad, therefore it's Starlight"

i had the suspicion for a while but not enough to back it up until recently. also nice larry boy


With this theory, I can’t help but remember her quick adaptation to being her sworn enemy’s friend and savior to all of Equestria by beating Queen Chrysalis, and can’t think that some-pony who thought her evil plan through that much would end up just giving in.


not anymore!! unless you count the school of friendship


I remember this same theory popping up way back when this Applebloom's dream episode was freshly released. It was around the time when we were so intrigued by Starlight's whereabouts that people coming up with this theory doesn't sound too farfetched at all.


Okay, my thoughts are WOW! Sawtooth Waves you've done it again. Another great theory video that makes a lot of sense and explains pretty much everything. Starlight watching and observing to think of ways to plot her revenge until, the moment where Twilight unintentionally gave her the idea of time travel. So, Twilight gave Starlight the idea she needed causing the fall of Equestria. Maybe Twilight really was the true villain after all? NAH I'm just KIDDING.


Ok, would Apple Bloom ever be able to voice those words she heard in the forest? Never! It’s obviously Starlight.


Seeing starlight has proven her magical abilities time and time again, it wouldn't be outside the realm of possibility that she did, and seeing that starlight and the shadow had the same ideals, aka the removal of cutie marks, it seems like starlight was there, however, seeing Luna can see all dreams, it would be right to assume that Luna would feel when someone was tampering with another ponies dreams, so Luna would have removed Starlight from the dream realm and come to fix it. Thank you for coming to my TED talk, t-shirts are to the right of you


When you’re having a bad day but then sawtooth uploads and now you’re going into another pony wormhole


I can't believe I didn't know or notice Starlight spying on mane 6. It's such a neat little touch and shows how much care was put into this show<br>And the theory makes a lot of sense, Starlight would probably invade dream realm if she could

Can we all agree that whenever when Sawtooth Waves posts videos for us they makes our day or night even better and they makes the best high quality contant


Fantastic video!! I have a question about the mech: Could you get any of the designs in any of the colors or just each color has its specific design?

@Sawtooth Waves okay awesome! Thank you :)

each design has different color choices!!


Just rewatched the last episode of MLP again and then you posted the video. Perfect Timing Sawtooth, perfect Timing.


When I first watched that episode, I was expecting Starlight to have a hoof in it. This definitely makes sense to me.

So does this mean that Starlight could use her dreamrealm powers to help Luna patrol the dreamrealm too? Because that sounds like a good idea for a fanfic.


This is honestly a really interesting theory and it just adds another layer to starlights whole revenge plan on the mane 6 also just makes her more of a threat (then you remember her entire reasoning behind everything)


Pinky’s time travel theory implanted the idea of it in starlights head… OH NO!

I have a feeling Pinkie and Dischord were having a giggle as they had to do that for the show to happen and Pinkie is waiting the day to say "You got pranked!" To Starlight. Would be a funny prank as that would throw Miss equal for a loop.


I notice that the voice of Apple Bloom's dream said "peas of a pod" rather than the more apple-like "apples of a branch" like we heard AJ say just a few episodes later


Great video! Maybe Starlight wanted to gain AppleBloom's trust so AppleBloom would give her information about AJ and the others


What if, (as part of a larger villain theory), it was actually another unknown villain manipulating Apple Bloom's dream and what if this same entity had done this to Starlight in the past and was the real reason why she became a villain in the first place... maybe this unknown entity was also the catalyst that turned Luna into Nightmare Moon and had been secretly been behind most of the post G1 villains & antagonists in My Little Pony, even perhaps in part the reason behind the events in G5 thus far. as part of an over-reaching plot..? (I call this hypothetical villain Mara, based on a story idea for an MLP film)


also its suprising how you are able to watch everything so carefully then put it all together i could never do something like this XD


One of the only theory crafters that makes almost exclusively unfalsifiable claims based on what we know. Gotta love that attention to detail.


I could totally see that happening. Thanks so much for another high quality, and well thought out video Sawtooth! Keep up that passion


I think Starlight had a hoof in more than just Apple Bloom's dreams. Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo also had these nightmares. I think Starlight wanted to spread her message to the ponies around the main six, but Luna became too much of a problem for that to go anywhere.


I really like this idea bc it makes it seem that  Starlight was a bigger part in little story lines if that makes sense-


I love how you always have time to reply to tweets and comments, not many Youtubers make time for those things!


Ok but can we talk about how cute Sawtooths accessories are by their ear? Abd also how they're seasonal? It's very neat.


How come no one saw her and Twilight battle it out? It’s entirely possible that someone would have saw them and started studying on it because They saw a Alicorn.


I had the same feeling about this episode! Of course not like in this video - just a vague idea that Starlight might be involved. But here I think we were told the complete story like it was.
I mean that of course Applejack told her little sister about their adventure in the Starlight's village and the Applebloom's dream could have been invoked by that story ...
But still, those lines about "Cutie marks and troubles are two peas in the same pod" ... This is the Applebloom's dream we are talking about! So everything should be the product of her subconscious. These lines are completely out of place here! Children do not think in such categories and this is a speech not of the young filly but a fully grown adult who can formulate sentences which are sharp as blades. This is obviously not the Applebloom's thoughts. Someone has planted them And it just cant be anypony else but Starlight!
Thank you Sawtooth, now all pieces of the puzzle finally fell into place!


I’ll be honest, as much as I love Starlight and her redemption arc, she could’ve made an epic series finale villain. I’ll be lying if I said the whole “Discord is Grogar” didn’t bother me even a little, but imagine if it was Starlight who rallied the villains. She’s cunning, manipulative, powerful and has well thought out plans.

If she escaped Twilight a second time and had major build-up to be the “final boss” so to speak, I feel like it would’ve been cool. I wonder, is there an alternate timeline where Starlight didn’t choose the path for redemption that Twilight offered her?


So twilight didn't tell celestia about starlight's cult?


While watching that episode I initially assumed it was gonna be a starlight episode until Luna came in, but as much as I respect your hypothesis and can absolutely see where you come from, I really don't think starlight would be able to get away with that even if she could. Celestia had no power over the dream realm until she got Luna's cutie mark, and even as powerful as starlight was I doubt she could either. And even if she did, Luna would most certainly have sensed a foreign presence in the dream realm and caught her.


I feel this season could have done more with Starlight's anti-cutie mark message. Troubleshoes was a perfect example of somepony who lends credence to Starlight's notion that cutie marks cause ponies unhappiness, even if you think the good far outweights the bad. Diamond Tiara seems to have a moment where she doubts the purpose of her cutie mark in Crusaders of the Lost Mark. Though we hardly see Starlight take advantage of these instances. Even in Bloom & Gloom the shadow's hints of parrotting Starlight are too subtle for a childrens' show, and we have no evidence to support Starlight's ability to manifest in another pony's dream. Further disproven when Luna doesn't comment on Starlight's presence despite being far more experienced with dreams as shown later in the season. <br>Though probably the most disappointing is still that Starlight's hatred of cutie marks was based on a very personal and limited experience. There was very little reason to assume her loss of contact with Sunburst was a universal cutie mark problem only she could fix. If she'd suffered a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety from the expectations her parents put on her for what they believed was her destiny, or if cutie marks repeatedly got in the way of her being able to live a happy life, her heel-face turn wouldn't have been so controversial. And might have had some real life lesson for viewers of pushing back against the expectations others place on you instead of considering what makes you happy.

I was watching you star swirls secret video(for the 9th time) and had a eureka, it happened near the end when you were talking about the first big all three pony action, showed the friendship fire, then showed flurry, what if flurries glass image, had to do with the friendship fire and heart, maybe combining them in some way, which possibly could keep the ice away for good, not just at bay, but give the crystal powers another form of magic as well, which might even connect with the hoof print from the new generation movie, maybe something happened which caused the crystal ponies to flee to equestria, and over the thousands of years, the ponies of mare time Bay ended up with this new magic flurry created, but was hidden till all ponies got magic again, that could've even been her destiny and cutie mark moment, just a thought (I really hope you do a video on this or something, I love your channel)


I LOVE YOUR THEORYS SO MUCH I HAVE REWATCHED THEM  SO MANY TIMES 💕💕💕


Starlight Glimmer is my favourite pony !!!✨✨✨

Παναγιώτης π


Before we get into too much... I'd like to talk about the rod Starlight used to steal the powers of the ponies in her old village with, and how it may tie into the memory stones.

The rod itself takes marks already earned by the ones that had them, but there's probably much more to it than that, since it seemed like Starlight was more addicted to them. Perhaps the magic of the ponies was part of their souls as well, because they seemed like they lost themselves when the effects took hold. Including their memories. Could we touch on the subject for a while? This just barely popped into my mind when thinking about their world, and the concept of memory wiping in our world from the men in black. I've experienced it myself, and come back from it somewhat, but I've lost much of myself along with the memory it seems. It's more of a personal matter.


Well I watched all seasons 3 times straight through,  I pieced that together sub consciously.  How she slipped away from the dream realm to go unnoticed, speculators say she would have done more with it, don't forget she was laying low and not willing to risk <b>attracting attention.</b> She'd prefer to bury the hatchet and go on as life does as if nothing happened. With little else to show for her time as a support character, the focus drew heavily to the future of Equestria, it could have gone on much longer and more mysterious speculations were certain to rise. However there are plenty of easter eggs left to crack, not everything is there on purpose neither in any series is all meant to be explained in the story-line, they're left intentionally to figure out.

Thank you for your videos, Sawtooth! You always make my day better!😄


Sweet Celestia, I never thought of that. You could be right. This is so Starlight Glimmer. Keep making more of these videos. Happy thanksgiving, happy Black Friday, merry Christmas and happy Heartswarming eve.🦃


Sawtooth can you please make a theory video on how Starlight got her cutie mark? I've always been wondering about this.


when the ponies are trapped in tartarus, there are many unidentified creatures in cages. were they just filler? references to previous mlp incarnations? or evidence of Sweetie Drops' monster-hunting days?


Beside Starlight breaking magical pillars, could it have been like a susconcious fear of having no cutiemark? Sometimes you hear something from a person that wriggles into your head and morphs into a big annoying thing that swims in your head, considering they busted miss equalize who stole cutiemarks i think info may have gotten out.

Either that or Starlight used several artifacts to see and boop a pony in the dream world, assuming you know what to do it wouldnt be hard to use artifacts specially made to bypass the dream barrier? Or she like got a special dream journal and slide it under the mane 6 beds lol, suck their dreams out.


Woah, I never thought about it that way but your totally right!!! I always thought the Shadow reminded me of something and the whole Episode in general but I didn't think much about it and forgot about it! So I think this Theory is right :)


Amazing theory as always! This can also tie into your theory where starlight becomes the next dreamwalker after Luna retires! She would already have a small grasp on having influencing dreams, so she could have developed that skill further to the point of becoming strong enough to take Luna's place.

EDIT: ok i swear i remember him theorizing this at some point, but when i went back to that episode he ends up saying rainbow dash.. am i missing something or remembering wrong? i probably forgot over the course of a few years.


Outstanding video SawTooth. I really enjoy the leaves fall animation. Keep up the good work. Have a wonderful day.


"If you like the video, like the video."
That part gets me every time haha
Ok Sawtooth I liked the video so I liked the video because I liked the video, great theory again and it makes so much sense!!!
Also your new line of merch is so cool!

thank you for liking the video and liking the video XD


When Apple Bloom got her dream, I actually thought that Starlight was behind it at first.


Sawtooth, this makes so much sense! I don’t think Starlight was the shadow but I didn’t see her those two times when she was spying! How did you find out! Another great video, Sawtooth. Certainly not the theory I was expecting, but great! But I kind of want to know, what happened to Discord in the new generation? And where are the other species? What happened to the three villains in stone? And so much more! Thanks again for another great video, Sawtooth! Yay!


4:56 I like it when characters have their own themes/leitmotifs. It's neat.


that explaining more why she is the most powerful vilain, i never imagined MLP: FiM would be so dark<br>I would add : maybe the way to enter into the dream world is in a book. You have a theory about Luna doesn't walk into the dream world before becoming Nightmare Moon. So maybe Celestia (or other pony) would search how to enter into a Dream World. And Starlight Glimmer would find out somehow about it. So now, she could go see the Mane 6 their personality, fear,…

This theory seems way too good to not be legit. I knew starlight would be planning it but to this degree I’m more impressed with her abilities


I think I support your theory. And I have another theory about crystals. Where is Discord? He seems to be immortal so I don't suppose he wasn't there. Something MAJOR must have occurred if he was gone and this is my theory. When Twilight was more than 100 years old she lost all her friends (Except discord).  So after her friends died she was heartbroken and Discord tried to send the villains free. However, since Twilight's friends were gone they lost and Triek and the rest of their team found a much More powerful spell that could both absorb the ponies' magic and make it disappear. And to respond to this Sawtooth, your theory is right. But then Discord lost his magic and maybe was trapped in stone. While all the villains took whatever they wanted until they died. (Tirek could have gone back home).


I still think it’s so cool how they had her in the background discretely stalking the girls and non of us knew for a long time


This had been exactly what I thought when I watched that episode I had just known starlight invaded apple bloom’s dream.


Not sure when or if you’re planning on covering this but I want to know your thoughts on where the other species are in the G5 mlp movie. We saw how incorporated everyone was by the end of S.9 in mlp. What do you think happen and could the three cities shown just be a small population of each pony and there were just other ponies out there still living out Twilight’s belief in friendship??


While I like this theory, and to be honest when I was watching this episode I had similar thoughts, it makes more sense that it was just ABs insecurities eating at her. Scoots and SB also had nightmares related to their CM at the same time (soon after freaking out a bit about them as well).


Im gonna be saying Mistreat, Manipulate, Mareboss every chance I get now.


This be an ooooold one. I'm sure everyone had at first figured it was Starlight, whether it was a dream or reality. But those who listened carefully would recognize Michelle Creber's voice, not Kelly Sheridan.
As for the villain song, well, that wouldn't be much foreshadowing. Daniel Ingram's and William Anderson's music is repeated a lot throughout the show. If you go to 6x19 - The Fault In Our Cutie Marks - and go to 8:10 (after the break) and listen to the background music, you will hear the same melody as Say Goodbye To The Holidays. Would that mean Starlight's shenanigans are behind Gabby (or any other creature outside of ponies) not getting a cutie mark?

.....You know what? That's a theory worth pondering. Why only ponies get Cutie Marks? Or did all creatures have them at one point and something erased them? One of those right up there with... what's the word... "Hasbro Syndrome"? In all the 2D cartoons both flanks are marked, but the toys only had one side marked, and now in 3D they represent the toys better... or... I don't know, never known any of the toys to be made of a suede-velvet material. (See fuzzy pop vinyls)


If Applejack ever found out about this...?

I have a feeling sh^t would go down.

She does NOT tolerate attacks on her family...


I can’t believe I missed her in that dinner scene! That by itself blows my mind! 🤯

Edit: Okay, my mind has just burned to a crisp. I can’t believe she was spying from them in the bushes! How did I miss that!!! If there is any more evidence of her spying on Twilight, there is going to be a lot of edits on the comment (besides when she was at Twilight’s lecture).


Out of all the villains I think that starlight was the worst. If twilight didn’t convince her to stop then the main six would have never met and wouldn’t be connected to the elements. Starlights magic was if equal of even better then twilights so I think that this theory makes sense.


this theory also might imply that starlight is the one that dream walks in the future instead of luna. fitting as she is a guidance counselor lol


I love your channel! My Little Pony was a very very huge part in my childhood. I’ve grown up a lot but never lost my love for it. I subbed to your channel to always hold that part of me

I stan too many groups! Check em out in my about


what makes her revenge plan hilarious to me is that she deadass could've won if she held off the gloating and just went for it instead (i.e. rather than waiting for them to show up, just use the spell and do the deed) they wouldnt've been able to do shit if she wasn't literally waiting for them


I remember I thought the pony in the dream was Starlight until Luna revealed it to be Apple Bloom's shadow.

it's an idea i've had for a while but it didn't seem strong enough until i made enough connections.


Good theory Sawtooth but I have one question…….
HOW DID STARLIGHT EVEN KNOW THAT APPLE JACK EVEN HAD A SISTER AT ALL!!!!??
I’ve seen those episodes and Twilight never mentioned that Apple Jack had a sister or even Applebloom’s name 🤔🤔


After this?  I think Starlight owes Applebloom an apology.


I think Luna's dream walking ability is exclusive to her. I'm pretty sure Luna would've picked up on Starlight's presence. It is an interesting theory though.


Wouldn’t Zipp be The maximum sneaky Izzy is just regular sneaky


Can you do a video about why the writers of the writers of the MLP FIM show decided not to give Spike the same kind of character development as the Mane_6 since he's the male protagonist of this show despite being a Dragon and not a pony? The only thing I don't understand is that why did Celestia give Spike to Twilight Sparkle instead of returning him to the Dragon Land after he hatched from his egg. Where did she even find Spike as an egg so that it could explain who Spike's parents are and why they never came back for him? Why does Spike even exist in this series if he can't be treated like an equivalent to Twilight and her friends which makes them jerks for not having any kind of sympathy for him?


Omg I remember first watching this episode when I was 10 and I was so convinced that dream figure thing was Starlight lol. I’m glad to see someone else who thinks the same thing!


I loved your channel from the start and it kept my pony love alive!


Good theory makes sense though with when that episode aired she mostly doing it more to spread her beliefs than as a revenge tacts especially with the fact she didn't know AJ had a sister yet


Something that was never on screen but now seems like a fun theory is doing the same thing to a dream of Rumble’s. He was dead set against getting a cutie mark that might stand in the way of becoming a wonderbolt. What if starlight influenced his dream too.


Now all I’m imaging is Starlight taking over dream walking/having a part after Luna retires and someone is like “wow you’re a natural! How are you so good?”And Starlight is just like “……🧍🧍🧍”


Lowkey a really good theory, but I have one small problem. When Starlight first met Twilight she was surprised to see another alicorn Princess aside from Celestia (and possibly Cadence)

Did you notice that I excluded Luna? Well, that was intentional, Starlight might have not known Luna was free from her imprisonment from the moon. So why would Starlight fear that Luna would've caught her in the act? Or maybe I'm overthinking all of this, like what I always do.

But, I also have a problem with MY "Theory". When she was forming her revenge plan, she could've heard news about the mare in the moon (AKA Luna) was free and not just an old Pony's tale. She also could've gathered information that stated that Luna could be able to walk in dreams. That could've also driven her to execute this plan to invade Apple Blooms dream to spread her cult-propaganda or something.

(Sorry if my Grammar is bad, my english isn't good)


You know what…
This isn’t that far off
If it is true, there’s one flaw. How did starlight enter the dream realm?
Ohhh wait she’s basically more powerful than twilight


You talked about in a earlier theory that twilight may have started a dream team in order to help ponys in their dreams.

Maybe starlight wanted to help and showed twilight her skills.


Now I'm wondering what we're the dreams that the mane 6 had, for Starlight to figure out that it was their friendship she had to destroy


Woah Sawtooth ! That is a cool one . Besides this phase of Starlight can also explain her Dream Realm problem in the ep A Royal Problem . Because she has already done that before .


Starlight is very powerful, so I wouldn't put it past her to be able to do this. I realized something though when you played those clips from Every Little Thing She Does. Starlight was able to achieve complete mind control in that episode. If that spell fell into the wrong hooves it would be disastrous.


Hey, Sawtooth. Got another theory I just thought of.

What if there was another timeline that we never saw in Cutie Re-Mark which led to the events of A New Generation


aah! what. a. great. theory. <br>i’m pretty sure that this could be true. it makes so much sense. starlight has been studying magic for a while, so it makes sense for her to access the dream realm. truly maximum sneaky. 🦄

aah! what. a. great. theory.

“Mistreat, Manipulate, Mareboss” is my new favourite ponified phrase xD


This isn't exactly a theory but a question that has been bothering me since we found out about Sunset Shimmer, What sort of magic or sorcery created the portal to equestria and the human realm? Who could be behind it? I think you should make a video about it next week.


Omg, I remember thinking about this a while ago and I’m so glad that u did a vid on this topic!! Keep up the good work as always! <3


This is the first video of yours I’ve stumbled on, and I have to say, it was so interesting! I usually don’t like theory videos, but you do such a good job explaining, not to mention all of the evidence you found!


He could be working with Hasbro and never mentioned it, to make Hasbro's  answers real but again theories for when they think of something else, I can't find another explanation to how awesome his theories are.


there's something that I've been very curious about, when starlight changes something in the past how does that past lead to the future it has? like when starlight convinces the bullies to help flitter shy she didn't fall and get her animal cute mark, how could she get her butterfly mark if never happened? and same with how the other future how did starlight different actions but doing the same thing cause a different future, how did that past thingy lead to that future, and why couldn't twilight to the sonic twilight boom thingy that she did at her coronation, it would probably only she could do it and and fill in for rainbow then meet up with them in the future and become friends IDK if that could work but it might.


once again, you might be right on the money with that. plus it makes for great fanfiction.


It’s surprising how she can actually figure out to do magic the only one of the two sisters (Luna) could do, and in the episode when Luna and her sister change. Lukas sister could only go into the dream realm. Anyways is we are are talking about shadows, what was taken over by the shadows? Luna. Yes this is prob not really be I have one theory.


imagine if in that alternate reality where starlight and twilight had patched up, years later when everything would come to piece, fluttershy would remember seeing twilight first arrive at ponyville and remember her from a distant memory which was this exact rainboom scene.


That maximum sneaky Izzy thing was so funny I’m laughing so hard right now hehehe


Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle had similar nightmares in the episode too, but their dreams were only shown briefly. Do you think they were influenced by Starlight too or do you think they were just having a regular nightmare?


I think your theory fits very well.... It just makes so much sense together!!


I support your theories because they seem so correct and logical for MLP


I think this is one of your best theories good job bestie. I think most of it is accurate yeah. Rest is kind of a gray area we can’t prove. But seeing her in the background is proof she was researching


I do like this theory! I honestly love how Pinkie had dressed up as Marty! And also did anyone notice Starlight's big eyes? Did she have some pinkie thingy??


“But remember fillies, that’s not a theory…
That’s a Mane Theory…”
    ~ probably Sawtooth Waves in the future


I don't know about her being able to access dreams to that extent, maybe looking at them, but not influencing. (Tho still possible, it would just take a lot of energy) Sure she's Twilight lvl powerful, but from what I know, Twi can't get into dreams. Maybe she requested the help of another alicorn(Linking back to that theory you did long ago about there being more alicorns out there)/powerful unknown character to get into the dream and find the time travel spell?


I think that was Starlight Glimmer, but I have found a flaw.
When Starlight removed physical Cutie Marks, they left an equal sign.
With Apple Bloom, it left nothing. Maybe that was because in her physical self, she had no Cutie Mark yet.
Or because it was a dream. Maybe because it was not a physical Cutie Unmarking.
But at the end of the dream, Luna came and said it was her shadow. Was that shadow Starlight until she went back, panicking because Luna had come?
Starlight's more than a time-traveller.


Hmm...if starlight effected apple 🍎 blooms dream, so could she take over luna’s dream job? With star-swirl?


I've an idea of how to fix the Cutie Remark story, calling it "The Cutie Remark - Twilight Days"

It starts off the same way as Cutie Remark, consisting time travel, preventing the Sonic Rainboom, but only to the four.  Instead it was done exclusively to Twilight Sparkle which caused her to get hers. Then, once that happened, an invasion of Equestria happened where her's, the Elements of harmony, and all ponies cutie marks are taken away, leaving them as mindless cattle to a race called Raptorians who came to their world from space. The infant Spike was then rescued, protected and raised by one of these Raptorians called Copper, hence why he appears to save Spike after he fell out of the time portal back to the present, though without Twilight Sparkle and the world altered and destroyed, the cutie map and castle are non existant by Starlight Glimmer, whom is revealed to be an agent to the Raptorian Empire, using an artificial cutie mark they made to allow her to transform into a unicorn and use spells.

Spike's guardian, Copper, came from a time before Equestia or even Ponies came to be, where the Raptorian homeworld was once a prosperous and harmonic civilisation. The cradle of friendship that stretched across the stars. Ruled by Princess Porcina, the mother to Copper, she was in charge of protecting the very heart to their power of friendship and equality, the Element of Charity. Then, as it would happen, the balance of power shifted, when Copper's older brothers and sister usurped their mother's throne and through abusing that power caused the collapse and destruction of the Raptorian Homeworld, leading the Raptorians on that world to extinction. Copper seeks to save the Element of Charity, which ended up it protecting him and giving him the gift of immortality. Copper remained dormant for millenias with the element, only to be awoken by a mare who found and befriended him. When confronting a world-threatening enemy, the Element of Charity became one with this mere and not only made her the first Alicorn, but the element became the very first cutie mark that was then shared to all the ponies. After a while of getting adjusted to this new power, she had a vision that the Raptorians within the other worlds have rapidly lost the ways Copper once knew and had almost exhausted their fuel source to their power, meaning that it would now only be a matter of time before the Raptorians would come to reclaim their old homeworld and take that element back, so she with Copper together created a powerful seal around the planet to shield it from outside. That shield would later be used by the Pillars to create the seed that grew to become The Tree of Harmony, although not affecting it. It was only when Princess Celestia and Princess Luna removed the Elements of Harmony from the tree and used them against Discord, and not having them put back for thousands of years that the shield was broken. By the time the Mane 6 placed the Elements back, one agent had successfully landed on their world and started her operation of stealing the cutie marks in a makeshift village, posing as Starlight Glimmer and using the ponies in it as cattle, posingly giving them equality and harmony.

The Cutie Vault was used as a power station to power her communication with The Raptorian Emperor, who had a liking to Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark as the most perfect essence of the Element of Charity he has ever felt and would prove very efficient for his reconquest of their Homeworld and rage war on their hated enemies. Their most vial (though once their friends before the fall), the Dragons. After being defeated by the Mane 6, the agent as Starlight Glimmer would observe through dreams and then physically to find a weakness to the Mane 6, but once time travel came into the picture, and the sonic rainboom, this became the very thing to drive a wedge against the Mane 5 and Twilight Sparkle. This world Spike and Copper, as well as a few handfuls of allys are in is "A Bright and Shiny Future from Swat Kats" style world where machines, robots, vehicles and weapons are all powered by cutie marks, and all non-Raptorians were enslaved or, if they are ponies, treated as war horses and harvesting their manes. Segregated in their own little utopia, equal and non the wiser. "All Ponies are Equal, 'cept Raptorians are more Equal than them!"

Spike and the others must try and defeat The Raptorian Empire, The Raptorian Emperor, and restore Equestria.

The twist in all this is that Twilight Sparkle is trapped in stasis with nothing but the dreams of the adventures with the reformed Starlight Glimmer and her friends from Season 6 onwards.

I know there might be some hole in this idea, but I thought this would fix the potential Starlight Glimmer never got.


Starlight seems more powerful in her magic than twilight so i think she will become an alicorn like you said in one video


Hey Sawtooth, I don’t know if I’m just stupid or if someone had already done this theory, but by does human Twilight have wings when she gets powered up, but when she goes through the portal she’s a unicorn?


Would the magic she used be similiar to Luna's magic? Because Luna said to Celestia when they switched roles that only her magic has power in the dream realm, so only Celestia could do something about Starlight's dream with Luna's magic. So if she did walk in dreams like Luna, either Luna must've lied or not been informed well enough, like with your Alicorn theory and the reaction to Flurry Heart. Or it was a different kind of magic, though we have no clues as to what that could be...


Now we might know who walks in dreams when Luna and Celestial retired.


Can you make a video on reforming king sombra


Once you become a main character you get nerfed super hard, Starlight literally is one of the most powerful characters in this show and then she became a main character and fell off lmao


And this would support my theory that starlight could be the successor of Luna for dreamwalking. after all twilight already does Celestias work and even if she could survive working both roles it is still shown in the series that Celestia had no idea how the dream world worked thus never dreamwalked. plus the name starlight glimmer fits into the theme of night. also her cutie mark has elements that look like the dream world with a stranger magic attached to the star. Also she is the student of starlight so has a good connection to the princesses. I agree that we have not seen strong evidence that starlight became the alicorn of the night but we see nothing against this theory. like she could become an alicorn after the last episode.


This makes a lot of sense and Starlight using her magic to manipulate that shadow could have given it power and a bit of life like the tantalus Luna created or the darkness that enveloped Stigeon


In: To where and back again, Luna appeared to Starlight twice. She told starlight "I see much of myself in you." Perhaps she wasn't just referring to their friendship stories with the mane 6. And it was starlights dream again that reached out to Luna so she could warn about the changelings. Why starlights? Was no other pony in equestria having a nightmare that night? Just something I thought of


Sawtooth: talks about an incredibly interesting and detailed theory
My ADHD:
*MISTREAT
MANIPULATE
MAREBOSS*


I am actually quite surprised that starlight was never turned into an Alicorn she is one of the most powerful unircorn of this era and sometimes it totters between starlight and twilight on who is more powerful and she even showed great potential even young so why wasn’t  she enrolled in the school with celestia


You always make me see mlp in a new way you are just amazing


When I first saw this dream, I immediately thought that this shadow is Starlight. I thought until the end, until Princess Luna showed that it was the shadow of Apple Bloom.<br> (If there are mistakes, I'm sorry, I'm Ukrainian)

Well it actually is possible. The writer of the season said there was at least one undiscovered starlight spying scene.


When i saw the applebloom’s dream episode for the first time I thought the shadow was starlight, but then I didn’t think to much about it


Something just clicked in my mind... In the episode where Twilight turns into an alicorn, (i dont remember the episode's name) Star swirl's spell changed their cutie marks And the colour of the elements. In one of your videos you said that Rainbow Dash doesn't deserve her element and i think you'er right..maybe rainbow dash isnt the right holder of the element. maybe star swirl used the spell on only one element to experiment on which was the element of loyalty. but my whole theory goes to trash if star swirl wasnt there when the elements were made. i dont remember much of mlp cuz i left the community. But even if the elements were not made, maybe it still effected the elements? to be honest i dont know what i am talking about..-


I didn’t even notice Starlight in “Amending Fences” and “What about Discord?” Wow!


I hate to tell you but remember what Luna said during the Tarterus episode? Even Celestia has no control over the dream realm. It is an ability given to Luna specifically by her cutie mark. We have 0 evidence that Starlight is capable of even entering the dream of somepony else, let alone influencing it seeing as it isn't her own dream. Power and ability do not factor into this.


In the episode where the tantabus tried to escape into the real world. Luna said that, “Only I can jump from dream to dream.” So I don’t really think that this could have been likely. But who knows.


You showed me 2 things I didn't know! The starlight in the bushes spying and starlight in the cafeteria! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!😁😁😁😁


This seems possible but think about something... Apple Blooms shadow kinda look like another pony we already talked about. A little pony, evil one. Cozyglow. Doesn't it?


I believe that starlight was intended as a red herring in order to tackle the issue of being uncertain about ones future and growing up.


Starlight would have been an interesting villain if she didn't choose friendship.
She just wanted what was best for her village.
The fact that Starlight was completely and utterly evil is just the brainwashing of Twilight and her stupid friendship cult.
I'm so tired of the mlp redemption arc.
I wish Mlp FIM could have explored more ways villains could come back  without being reformed.
Starlight is a really interesting character when you look at her background.
In fact, Starlight literally changed destiny, making her the most dangerous villain of Mlp FIM.


it’s so cool how they added starlight and most of us didn’t notice her


I like to think that Starlight's earlier plans, before settling on the Time Scroll, involved swarms of Ladybugs or a Giant Quesadia. O.o


I think this makes a lot of sense! Great theory!! 🤍🐴


The first time I watched Bloom and Gloom I thought it was Starlight Glimmer in the shadows saying that stuff and causing apple bloom to have the anti cutie mark nightmares. Was surprised it wasn't her since it was just a couple episodes after The Cutie Map


“ maximum sneaky” you got that from the My Little Pony movie didn’t you?!.. LOVE IT!!! That’s it i’m subscribing


Yeah as soon as I watched the episode I thought it was Starlight. I’m still disappointed it wasn’t. It just would’ve made since


(Before Watching The Video)
I.. This Is Hard To Believe That She Might Have Done That..
That’s Pretty Deep..
(Edit After The Video)
I Like To Believe That Is True! That Make So Much Since That She Hijacked Apple Blooms Dream!


Starlight and Apple bloom NEVER meet each other, invading dreams of somebody you know is possible but invading dreams of somebody you don't doesn't seem possible. Luna has meet and interacted with probably everyone in the show considering royalty.


Maybe starlight is the one walking in ponies dreams in the future? If she can manipulate dreams and “appear” in the ‘em. Maybe she can take Lunas place


I think that Starlight does the Dream Walking now that Twilight is the sole princess and ruler of Equestria.

Lady Kimberly Rowan Delaney Hosier de Rothschild


If Starlight invaded Applebloom's_Dreams, wouldn't Princess Luna have stopped her before she could even try?

I'd think not, luna had to see to other ponies dreams too she probably came across applebloom's dream after other other ponies dreams first then saw the bad dream and entered I and well you know the rest


Unrealated to this Theory Video but I’ve had something cross my mind. Do Ponies Get Pregnant? We have never seen a Pregnant Pony, some will bring up Cadence, she had Flurry Heart, but were the words Pregnancy or Pregnant ever used? We never saw Cadence actually pregnant with Flurry, we just got an announcement episode and then a couple episodes later Flurry was here. One of you’re first theory videos was about how do Ponies get their names, and how if a Pony is born without a Cutie Mark, why does the Cutie Mark end up being very close to the actual name of the Pony. I think there might be a connection there somewhere, maybe instead of a Pony getting Pregnant and giving Birth, maybe it’s some sort of Deliverance that occurs. An interesting thought when you really think about it


I though this too when I watch this the first time around,But I can also see the shadow's dialogue could have been influence by Applejack telling her what happen to her and the rest of the Mane 6 in Starlight's village,Besides Starlight would have apologized after she was redeemed.


Hey Sawtooth waves i have four theorys for you.
1.Why is it that when tirek drained the flight out of pegasi they couldnt fly
That doesnt make any sense you cant just take flight from something thats has two good wings and has already learned how to fly think of i as a bird learning to fly once it has learned it cant be taken the only way how is by an injured wing
Why is it that pegasi can just have there flight taken away?

2.if celestia, luna, cadence,twilight, and flurry heart are all considered princesses then whos the king and queen of equestira and can there be a king/prince so far in equestria history there has been no sign of a stallion ruler shure theres shining armor but other than him theres no good king/prince.

3. Hey Sawtooth waves
I have a theory for you
Could it be possible that princible sinch is cadences mother
Heres what i mean
Think about it sinch is pricible and cadence is dean  pricible is a higher rank than dean would that mean in the pony world that if theres princess cadence and sinch is higher than candence in the human world then is sinch cadences mother wich makes her a queen

4.My question is Why did magic, and flight dissapear in the first place in Mlp new generation this might be an obviouse question but tirek and cozy glow are stone and the ponies seprating couldnt have been chrysalis because she is stone too, there are to line in MLP new gen that stand out
Izzy says that magic one day just dissapeard
And Hitch doesnt belive that ponies wer once together and says that liek it or not this is the way it is wich leads that they think ponies never got together in the first place like if grogar never tried to rule equestria the ribes wouldnt get together to stop grogar and wouldnt know of eachother existence right away
So what could have made it so there magic would just dissapear

@claudia p Generally seen as "Evil", not Are evil

@Subject Keter Not all kings and queens are evil plus all we’ve heard as the word king was king sombrero but is there really no other sign of a GOOD stallion ruler other than Shining armor it doesn’t make sense

@Subject Keter but the other times when ponies were apart the Pegasi could still fly, the unicorns still had magic, and earth ponies still had there strength. It doesn’t matter if there apart for them to have magic and flight the only reason ever to come together was the windegoes nothing else was bothering they would have complained to each other like in the new gen movie. That the other tribe had something to do with it but they aren’t. In the ending of the end the unicorns hid in a school already boarded up with nails and wood which would take longer with any other tribe and in cloudstale the Pegasi can still fly so it has to be something else

For the Flight: I would assume the Magical provides something to allow the Peagsuses to fly but it would be hard to prove since a Peagsus mostly likely cramp before their magic tires out.

For the King and Queen: There might have been ancient royality since they got the ideas of King, Queen, Prince and Princess but Celestia and Luna most likely absorbed political power due to Commanding the Sun and Moon which is a good power play. Also generally King and Queen are "Evil" as they deal in Absolutes and get way too involved with ruling that it makes them Evil.

The Magic seems simple; The Friendship between the Ponies was no longer possible as they drifted away and shut themselves to their cities, if you couldnt talk to others cant form the Unity for the Magic of Friendship work.

might cover 3 eventually, i do like that idea. as for 1, ponies would need much bigger wings to fly naturally, so there's a magical component to it as well


Sawtooth knows more abt mlp than the actual creators LOL


I rewatch the episodes where Sawtooth said Starlight is, because I thought those were edited but it was true I did saw starlight on those episodes and it was a shock, I mean Twilight doesn't even see Starlight right next table and no one in the group see there was someone behind the bushes not even Discord but good thing she was already Good and that's all that matters


The first time I watched that episode I was so ready for it to be Starlight and was quite disappointed when it supposedly wasn't. But I like this.


Yaaaaaas i have had the theory about starlight in her dreams forever I am so happy someone made a theory about this


I LOVE the back to the future reference in that episode


This is a great guy he should do some more of these


I could have sworn it was Starlight in Apple Blooms dreams when I first saw the episode


Well yeah I don’t think her magic would be powerful enough to have her be in a dream like Luna. So I think apple bloom was having a similar dream and starlight influenced it. Cause Luna can completely change dreams starlight isn’t that powerful


You should do something on the cutie marks of the new mane characters! Like sunnys cutie mark is literally a moon and stars???

Sunny's mark is not a moon and stars. it's LITERALLY a shooting star.


The first time I watched it I just assumed it was Starlight until Luna said otherwise so I like this theory


pretty sus that the shadow also sorda looks like the out line of cozzy glow, mabie just mabie we were warnd of cozzy befor now also one other thing she also in the season 8 finle seemed to be pretty intrested in artifact magice. mabie cozzy glow knew of a artifact that could enable her to viset another ponys dreem. i also cant help but notice that apple bloom was the first pony to realy get to know cozzy. pretty sus    > _ <


I wonder if pegasus ponies can earn horns, by doing princes worthy deeds, or an earth pony earning a horn and a pair of wings.


I've been saying this since the episode came out, I'm glad you made a video on it


Also to add on, why not turn one of the ponies sister  your trying to get revenge on against them. Not only can you strain relationships, but if you play your cards right maybe get an “agent” on the inside somewhat


Honestly, I can see this totally happening


Your theories are still interesting even out of the fandom I hope your channel doesnt die one day!

Also here are some similarities between undertale and  mlp for no reason
-Magic
-Timelines
-evil child/children


Good theory, only problem I have with it, is the <b>how</b> she was able to do that...even though she is really powerful, she still has to know the *how*. Otherwise, your whole theory seems very plausible.

Good theory, only problem I have with it, is the *how* she was able to do that...even though she is really powerful, she still has to know the *how*. Otherwise, your whole theory seems very plausible.


Maybe if I ever encounter her, I'll ask if she can enter dreams.


Wow, we love seeing stalking in a children's (originally made as)  show............ btw good theory! gives starlight a power we havent seen before, well... other than luna


Yeah totally! I always thought it was Starlight messing with Apple Bloom!


it would make sense because in apple blooms dream when she was talking the first time it might have been starlight because i heard the sound of teleporting magic you ca hear it if you are really quiet it is more likely because of that


Let's be real starlight can do anything she can well as well give herself wings if she really tryed


I dont think starlight could copy lunas magic, as even luna couldnt use it with her mark switched.

the dream was all applebloom, but it was meant to give us starlights origin story, as both starlight and applebloom had an orange friend/cousin, that got a cutiemark and got accepted into celestias school for gifted hairdressers, which meant that they could no longer be friends/crusaders, and gave them nightmares, the only difference is, that applebloom had lunas help, and a web of social links, keeping her on the right path.


FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO THINKS STARLIGHT BROKE IN TO APPLEBLOOMS DREAM!


i didn't even realised starlight was hiding in the brushes help 💀

@Sawtooth Waves i- i didn't know u would reply and yes


Ive got a question that doesn't really connect with this video😅, is sunny starscout's alicorn horn and wings real? Because they only look like magic "holograms"


This is probably the most interesting video of yours. I really liked it.


Sawtooth u have to seen this! in the new mlp g5 movie I noticed a few things.Ok so we know that the sun and moon need to be raised by magic right, but then it's shown that mgic is gone so who is raising the sun and the moon? Another thing I noticed is wheres flurryheart? She was born an alicon so she has a longer life span than cadence and twillight. Yet flurry's missing.....<br>Please like so sawtooth can see this

I like this theory. Makes a lot of sense


“Mistreat, Manipulate, Mareboss”<br>Me : The last one just hits different

“Mistreat, Manipulate, Mareboss”
Me : The last one just hits different


This is a really good and maybe also true theory😍 i think that the theory is real. Because why will Hasbro make a binoculars behind a bush, and starlight behind a newspaper! And I’m thinking that Starlight also tried to look in the newspaper to find something? And not just spy on them!!


I think that makes perfect sense. You outdid yourself (again)!


Finally, a theory that may actually be possible


ngl the first time I saw that episode with Apple Bloom's nightmare, I actually thought it was Starlight, due to the similarities with the shadow's lines and Starlight's motives


So now we know who's dream walking while Luna and Celestia are retired


If Starlight’s village was her life’s purpose/special talent, then her cutie mark would be a smiling pony in a cage 😂


Starlight when invading Apple bloom's dream: Do you want to hear about our lord and savior no cutie mark cult?


This isn’t related to the video but I just thought of something
What is Cadence’s evil form?
If she does have one, I think she’d be named SnowShatter
Why? Here’s the explanation!

So, If cadence suddenly turned evil. I feel like her first instinct would to break the crystal heart, if she did..there would be nothing to protect the crystal empire, Which also means that snow will cover the place [Just like the Crystalling]
That also MIGHTT mean king sombra might be back!
If she did this, then she’d also shatter the hearts of the crystal ponies. They’d be in huge danger, so ofc their hearts would be broken.
Then she might also would’ve divorced shining armor. I still think she’d be against sombra and would’ve wanted to rule the crystal empire still..So she might’ve still protected the crystal empire from him, I’m not sure tho..She might wanna take over Equestria, but she only rules a part of it so I don’t think it’s that necessary for her to do so.

For flurry heart, when she grows up her evil form would probably be called
Maybe FrozenFlurry?
I can’t think of a good villain name for her but I’ll just stick with that

Anywayz..
I’m guessing, with her super powerful alicorn magic when she was born, I’m guessing she’d ALSO destroy the crystal heart again, Flurry seems like the type of person to be like starlight when she grows up. So when she does destroy the crystal heart, I’m guessing she’d start to freeze every crystal pony, She would obviously also try to break the crystal empire. Or she would start to manipulate the ponies, So if she doesn’t freeze everyone, then she would probably break their “heart” which means they’ll become selfish and etc. I don’t think Flurry would want only the crystal empire, She’d want every bit of Equestria. By the time flurry does grow up tho, I think princess Luna and celestia would be retired. So twilight would have to deal with this-

twilight can sing the sunshine sunshine song that will work


I didn’t even know that Starlight spied on Twilight and her friends until now


wow this theory is so out there but yet so compelling. this is going in my headcanon


I wonder if Starlight took over watching the Dreamworld after Luna retired. Like She ran the school during the day. An the dream world at night


It's also a possibility she could have felt the presence of Luna near so she escaped before being caught


sawtooth, can you please make a video about the crisis that made twilight create the crystals in G5?

@Sawtooth Waves <br>can you please make a video about sunny becoming an alicorn from G5?

@Sawtooth Waves
can you please make a video about sunny becoming an alicorn from G5?

fraid i dont know enough about that, but hopefully more will be revealed


I feel the Shadow After Twilight-Shadow could be Sombra, Nightmare Moon; Sunset Shimmer the Demon, Solarflare or Worse...or...even...an evil Alternate Timeline Apple Bloom or Future Apple Bloom or Mogul Apple Bloom, Manipulated by Starlight and the Shadow in the past, causing her to be intercepted by...Maybe...the dark forces via Starlight's Magic? Maybe that's how Demon Sunset Shimmer conducted her destruction plan?


what if starlight is walking in the dream realm…


Us hearing the theory: yeah that makes sense     Hasbro: that's not what we meant at all


Read this title wrong and thought it said 'Starlight Invaded Apple Bottom Jeans'.

Would the video be the same concept?


for some reason I missed like 79% of the video because I was focusing on the leaves 😧


Starlight is awful. I'll say this honestly. Her reason to become evil didn't make the slightest bit sense to me.

Twilight had to move from Canterlot with Celestia to Ponyville and you dont see her flipping her lid. But as that one Season Opener showed: Emotions charge the spells up and she was focking m a d, amazed she didnt break something


this just makes starlight creepy and her actions less forgiveable


i feel like this is the most probable MLP theory


Or Starlight may have gone to the mirror pool to have help but also, can we talk about the fact that on the episode where twilight was exploding pinkies, her horn turned red so she blew on it but then on the episode where twilight and starlight are practicing magic, starlight’s horn turns red to so she also blows on it.


When I entered the video I thought it was gonna be dumb because he has already done a lot of theory videos and was gonna get out of ideas, but he never seems to get out of them xD. Cool theory video. - leaves a like -


I'm guessing star light was spying on the Mane six so time travel would be the perfect idea so if only Twilight  followed her she would be heartbroken to see her friends get hurt


I’ve had this theory for so long but i thought it wasn’t very likely


If starlight did dream walk during this time. I think she may be the one to do so when Luna retires


I watched my little pony a lot and I’ve never ever  know this is why I love this channel good job good job😅🤩


hi big fan love your vids and especially ones about starlight. can you make a video about why and how starlight did not became an alicorn.


Can you do a theory on the sirens before they were banished?


note that everything about starlight meeting twilight must happenin season five because before they didn't know eachother and after because they forgave eachother


Seems a bit of a reach, but quite plausible.


I use realistic that the shadow looks more like cozy glow 😱


Hello Sawtooth waves, I am also a MLP fan. I made a theory about what happened to Princess Cadence, If she got flowing hair or if she died once flurry heart took over. I would love to do a collaboration with you. Your character is very cute as well. Please respond your so awesome!!!!


Just wanna say hi! A new video from you really made my day.


Hi sawtooth, I love your video but I noticed something about the shadow. It kinda looks like cozy glow........


Now That's A Fashionable Scarf, Darling.


I know this is a diffrent theory but i have something to say about the discord species video. You said that other traits couldnt be put into appearances but they could. destruction could have holes like the first changelings. greed could have gold body parts. also his weird appearance could be the result of his magic we have seen his magic change appearances before like cozyglow pand pinkie and he stole clestia and luna's tails. If he was born with the magic then it would be in his dna to look weird so thats why he didnt look normalwhen it was taken away and if he got it as a child then he would have grown up looking weird and it would take time to turn back to normal. like if cozy kept his magic grew some weird parts like a dog leg and then grew up without getting rid of it. it wouldnt really be magic used on her anymore her body would have grown around it


I always thought that voice sounded like starlight!


I loved when he said "MAXMINAM SINKY," I think I spelled it right


It’s to bad Starlight runs the friendship school in the future otherwise she could take over Luna’s job and I know Twilight would trust her and Starlight I’m sure could make the ponies feel better like Luna did.


Listenig to your teoris makes this show so much more complex….


glad i was compelling to you! but it's always good to leave room for skepticism!


Yeah I remember seeing her in the lecture time. But I didn’t see her in the background those other two times interesting


This makes sense the fact that I saw that purple and green hair is when I knew star light was there but I didn't want to tell my friends cause they May be a bit freaked out.


Starlight is my favorite character so I can’t believe she doing this


starlight seems kinda creepy hiding in the bushes


Since you did a video about why Rainbow Dash doesn't deserve her element, can you do a similar video about Rarity since it's hard to tell that she is generous since acts very picky about small things, she acts like she was born in Canterlot and she takes full advantage of Spike's crush for her?

excellent points haha, but no thanks, i stopped making videos like that years ago


That's makes much more sense than i thought it would


This would make a LOT of sense in my head!


What if Starlight's cult was inspired by some irl cult. It's not so likely, but if it's true, we could learn something more about anti-cutiemark cult by learning about it's irl "version"

Ingsoc and Jonestown are the two big examples that come to mind but yeah it's just a generic cult that does things a lot of cults do

starlight's cult has many elements in common with human world cults. i don't believe there was any single cult it was modeled after


while i was watching i had a thought about something...Could the sonic rainboom be a spell? <b>sawtooth waves intro plays</b>

while i was watching i had a thought about something...Could the sonic rainboom be a spell? *sawtooth waves intro plays*


Can u do a video on Starlight vs other villains magic comparison?


that maximum sneaky was the scariest kind of jumpscare


if she had manipulation on the dream realm, luna would have seen her and close the portal?


This makes a lot of sense. Maybe Starlight was present during Slice of Life and Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? and was unseen.

no pony, other than Luna, has the ability to dream walk.


hey, sawtooth love the new look! by the way in the next video can you answer that why did starlight changed her hairstyle, oh I mean manestyle

@Sawtooth Waves wow sawtooth you have an answer for everything in the MLP world!

thanks!! and her old style was more influenced by the conformist rules of her cult. the new style is more herself! if everything else about her life changed, her style might as well change too ^^


Wow 🤩 this is scary and starlight is a cult leader


this makes so much sense! Good soup theory


I LITERALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THIS WHEN THIS EPISODE PREMIERED


Maybe appleblooms dreams was because of her cutie mark trouble like Luna said starlight must have been in the real world for answers


I'm not sure which is prettier in your mane, A lotus flower or leaves


can u do g5 character analysis for both our heros and villians


Here's the thing in vr goalius past was messed up by the doomslayer but it was denied as the doomslayer seens at the time of goalius birth the doomslayer was beared alive in hell and then it was identified it was a temporal error because the look was more older than the doomslayer new armour which was confermed by the father saying that during goalius birth time was damaged at the same time

@Reese the resemblance to both was the date of the time travel

uhh dude? <b>This video has nothing to do with DOOM or Doomguy.</b>

uhh dude? *This video has nothing to do with DOOM or Doomguy.*


What would the equestria girls world look like in G5? 🤔


Amazing theory! Except, how could she walk in Applebloom’s dream?

Also, she was mainly focusing on the mane 6, so why would she want to focus on a pony she doesn’t even know?


No this can't be true the first time we saw Starlight  she didn't even KNOW Apple Bloom If She wanted to know about the mane six she should've went to go in the mane six's dreams.


Personally I'd go with mislead, manipulate mareboss but regardless, that was great


i thought that the Shadow in Applebloom's dream/nightmare is an evil version of Applebloom or a Nightmare version of applebloom, kinda like a "What if Applebloom was evil"scenario. Or kinda like Twilight and Midnight Sparkle,Rainbow Dash and Pie Hating Rainbow Dash,Fluttershy and Flutterbat,Pinkie Pie and Pinkamena,Rarity and Nightmare Rarity,Celestia and Daybreaker,Princess Luna and Nightmare Moon.


Are you and Nameless one doing another  video together  her (I  loved your FIRST video 😄😄😊😊)

probably yeah! we have a few different ideas


That was what I thought when I Firat saw That Season 5 Episode, but Nope it was Apple Bloom's Insecurities that was giving her Nightmares about her Cutie Mark.


The moment I saw the episode with apple blooms nightmare I knew it was starlight


I agree with this theory it might be wrong but it still makes a lot of sense


OMG the shadow in Apple Bloom's dream looks like Cozy Glow!!


OMG sawtooth i just thought of the best theory! We never saw applebloom's mom right? what if starlight is applebloom's mom! (just to be clear i dont watch the seiries my little pony but i see LOTS and LOTS of clips of them. the reason i dont watch them is because I dont know how to change seasons on it so if the theory is wrong sorry i dont know much about that season)


Well that just made that episode a lot darker


this is insane and if this IS true then it would make me dislike starlight even more :(


$𝐹𝑖𝑟𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑙𝑓...ꨄ


This theory makes too much sense too be a coincidence in my opinion.


Heya, from the future, did you  take into consoderation that starlight didnt know what the dream realm was when she swapped Luna and Celestia's Cutie Marks,also names Shinelight

i actually rewatched that in preperation for this video, and i saw no indication that starlight didn't already know about luna's job. what line were you referring to?


how are you still able to find diffrent things iin the my little pony show


Hi sawtooth I have one question about ladybugs and changelings what if a changeling is a male like thorax?


Nobody:
Not a soul:
Not even Starlight:
Sawtooth: MISTREAT MANIPULATE MAREBOSS

Nobody:
Not a soul:
Not even Starlight:
Sawtooth: *MISTREAT MANIPULATE MAREBOSS*


This comment is a different category but i watched the mlp animation called "the beggining of harmony" Once i finished watching it i realized that the two sisters were a royal but not born alicorns just like fleur de lis and prince bloodblue :>


i mean it's bad enough thorax betrayed his mommy chrissy now he reacked everything she made.


This theory is not that bad, though In the season 7 episode 10 in "a royal problem" when she had nightmares because she went with her gut I got confused because she was having a nightmare right Soo when she was having a nightmare why can't she just control it? Is it because she's too scared that she forgot to control it? Or maybe it isn't true that starlight went to a dream realm or ever went to a dream realm maybe she dosent even know what's a dream realm I know your theory lines up well but maybe the part you said that "maybe starlight was in a dream realm" maybe she was somewhere but not in the dream realm? Just maybe it's another theory


“Mistreat Manipulate Mareboss”
W H E E Z E -

“Mistreat Manipulate Mareboss”
*W H E E Z E -*


as u said twilight maybe clover the clever I think starlight is snowfall frost and I think starlight  was the one dream walking Luna did say I see a lot of me in you and when they use their horn they have blue colour magic even though starlight is not an alicorn she is just as powerful as Luna


What does Starlight have against Applebloom?

nothing! starlight just wanted to convince apple bloom of her ways


For me there’s one problem, if starlight was spying in the bushes can pinkey just sense her?


I really think you're right! It could be possible!
