Friendship is witchcraft had absolutely no business being so GOOD. The songs are legitimately SUPER well-written and the fan backstories are legitimately entertaining. I miss this era of the internet so much
I’ve heard Jenny say she doesn’t think it’s very good. I disagree. I love all her stuff but there was something really special about how they took a kids show and made it sarcastic and hilarious and still kind of stayed true to the original characters. I never get tired of watching these.
@@michaeldebellis4202 I thought it was amazing when I first watched it. Now rewatching, it's even better than before. A lot of the jokes still hit and the humor is so subtle that it makes the more bold parts (twilight's non biologically related brother-lover) amazingly absurd. I love it. And you've hit the nail, it literally doesn't feel out of character at all. I think Jenny or anyone looking back on their old art would have a lot of negative reflections about it, it's just kind of how it is with artists. FiW is still my favourite thing to come out of the MLP, like they didn't have to go this hard but they did, and you feel every drop of effort.
@@TheFoxers101 Absolutely adore seeing appreciation for FIW 12 years later (holy shit... cannot believe it was that long ago). Thanks for sharing your thoughts. This fanwork went way beyond what's expected from a "silly parody dub". It was really, really special. It had a unique form of subtle, dry humor you can't get from just anywhere. Big reason why I love what Jenny does
@@pokevenom314 12 years ago? This again reframes to me how young I was when I entered this extremely adult fandom back in its glory days lol. 9/10 year old me really had no business being this heavily invested in the fandom but I wouldn't go back and change it. MLP seems to be having a fandom revival and that makes me really happy. I'm glad the love for FiW is still strong today.
Friendship is Witchcraft is pretty weird. I mean, it's not something big, just a regular parody. But THE SONGS, OH MY GOSH. How can you do something so great?
I really miss the prime of this fandom. Season 1-2 was great, lots of talented and creative people back then. The constant Copyright strikes from Hasbro really killed a lot of cool content that came from the fans of that show. Its sad really.
Wouldn't trade those memories for anything. It may have been only a fairly short amount of time but during those two season I met plenty of friends who I still talk to on a regular basis. Its just sad to see what it became. MLP was always meant as a show to sell kids toys, but it never seemed to sacrifice the quality of its writing or characters to do it. I don't think I can confidently claim that anymore.
However i do agree on somethings you said however you must remember that this is their property What would you do if you own a popular cartoon and people doing stuff to it and misleading the brand.
"...But I'm just saving two.'' ''There's hardly room for seconds when the seconds melt away!" ''Sometimes life is not a cake walk served up on a silver spoon'' ''Let's beat these yolks and save my folks'' ''God help the outcast with her withcraft'' *''Someday I'm gonna go home''* I love the dark implications of this song.

Watch as I work my gypsy magic seapony tears and provolone god help the outcast with her witchcraft someday I’m gonna go home,someday, im gonna go home.
This song is from the fan made tho About the song:Pinkie is trying to save HER parents so she make a portal to travel back.in.time so she can save her.parents!
Its interesting to interpret "Toss a fig and save the date" may have double significations: "put in a (dried) fig as a sweetener so you dont need to use the dried date" "throw away something menial(as in : it's not worth a fig) and first thing save(record) the date(referring to something of importance in contrast)
i thought of it like how the other lines are, where the first part of the sentence is a baking instruction, "toss a fig", and the second half has something to do with the time travel portal shit, saving the date as in recording the date to travel to
@@thalimag1778 the first one is you throw in a fig cause it’s not worth a date, second one is you throw in a fig and save the date as in saving the date for going back in time
@Stonmann watch at least 5 episodes if you don't enjoy it after that it's not for you. That's my rule for all the shows I watch, cause those first episodes can be kinda weird introducing the plot and characters
The Pink One I don't remember when I sang it or which grade I was. The odd thing is all of them seem to love it. My friends still talked about it. The best memories.
Just imagine us telling our grand children about this Me: "so Bobby, when I was your age I watch a little show called 'my little pony'" Bobby: "grandpa! I'm 17!" Me: *triggered*
1:50 "God help the outcast with her witchcraft" I just realized this might be referencing The Hunchback of Notre Dame, where Esmeralda (a Gypsy) sings "God Help the Outcasts."
This is from 7 years ago, but Jenny Nicholson, who was heavily involved in the series, said that the creators were... REALLY into Hunchback of Notre Dame. Like, entire plotlines and character arcs were lifted from it, aside from a ton of references, haha
I think that this song is about Pinkie wanting to go back in time to save her parents from whatever happened from them in the past. Her parents know that Pinkie can't bear the sadness if they died, so they saved a recording about how they want her to move on and accept their deaths. But Pinkie still wanted to make a portal so she can save them. It's like Gypsy Bard. In Gypsy Bard is about how her parents have died and she was shipped off to the orphanage. The orphanage told Pinkie to forget about her parents to fit in, so she dug graves and danced with orphan foals in the grave. Pinkie mentioned that when you're feeling sad, listen to the song and it'll make you happy because her gypsy magic hypnotizes you to being happy. Well... That's pretty dark...
im pretty sure friendship is witchcraft explains it but since I haven't seen it... (I try to keep my search history clean) from what I've seen i think its mostly the same as you said but I think they are talking to her from heaven or as ghosts or something
In gypsy bard it says "when I was a little filly, a galloping blaze overtook my city" Very next line - "so they shipped me off to the orphanage said 'ditch those roots if you wanna fit in' " So right after the fire, she became an orphan. Clearly pointing out her parents were killed in a fire
OMFG as a kid, I was babysat by my aunt who was a pastors wife. They were so mad and disappointed in my parents for giving me an MLP themed birthday party, and talking about how it’s witchcraft and magic. And right now I’m remembering exactly what they said,”there’s a secret hidden version, with its real name ‘friendship is witchcraft’” when my mom and I were like, ‘ohhh haha no that’s probably something else’ he said “don’t believe me? Look it up in TH-cam” my mom did, I wasn’t allowed to watch MLP after that 😔
Probably already commented this but whatever. This is literally about Pinkie bring back her parents, but making enough to save seven more, which is literally reflected in the series by the x/9.
I wasn't around when FiW was actually being put out. As it's also a pun for "a stitch in time saves nine," was this actually a thing in FiW that she'd save nine ponies total?
@@paulelkin3531 yeah, that’s what the original comment was talking about: the counter that pops up pretty much whenever time travel is involved is the “nine” she saved
I only found out from her video on the last bronycon haha, I think it's pretty cool that she acknowledged that the g word for travellers is actually a slur and that she regrets using it. The song still slaps tho
Trust me... * i go under the counter grabbing a bowl and dough and i start to sing, i come back up , covered in flour,* * i then stand up holding up a dog* IT WAS THE DOG..
I’ve never even seen this show, or any of what it’s fandom has created, but the melody of this song now lives rent free in my brain and I can’t stop whistling it. Someone help. I think I’m going insane.
mlpLinky NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! THE MEME IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Morphs into dragon, flies away* SAVE YOURSELVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you think about it, pinkie has no choice then to hide behind a mask of happiness. Her parents gave up on her and when she looked for them, they died. Her sister never cared about her. She was abandoned and misstreated. She is closing of her self from everypony because with out her mask, she fells vulnerable. Idk just thought I'd share
Well, Pinkie did end up being reunited with her parents, but she was stuck with taking care of them as babies in the present day. So there didn't end up being a home for her to return to
Damn I was so ungrateful when I first heard this masterpiece on the internet. This is still pure GOLD, and I wish I listened to this more when I first heard it.
If this were a canon: I'll cook up a solution with the knowledge I've accrued. They say a kitchen time saves nine, but I'm just saving two. I've gathered the ingrediants to make some tasty cake (yes all I could come up with) There's hardly room for seconds when I'm baking them away! (that sounds terrifying) Watch as I work my baking magic! Eggs and flower, cinnamon! Watch as the batter turns to matter! Making a cake, dig in! We'll cook food! Do you like it, Apple Bloom? Sometimes life is not a cake walk served up on a silver spoon Toss the dough and save the cake and Chocolate sprinkles, stir the wrinkles, marination, great creation! Vanilla icing, cake piece slicing, yeast is rising, (Apple Bloom gets shocked by oven X3) E-E-ELECTRYIIIING! Apple bloom from a radio: Pinkie, if your hearing this, it means I have ran off. Please don't bake a birthday cake, accept it and move on. My oven is preheated, and I've baked it for the foal. I'll make this click, *sneak in a lick* and make this all work full! *To be continued in a reply that I make*
I can’t tell if you’re mentioning the song, or if you’re messing with me directly as I just listened to the whole collection and I’m tripping and freaked out
Hearing this song after 11 years again... I dont know how to describe my feelings... After hundreds hours i spend on Forums, Watching mlp and listening to mlp songs... After all of that... Im crying outta nostalgia. What a good times
I still come back to this and the Gypsy Bard. When I listen to this, I feel a mix of melancholy, nostalgia, and blunted cringe all that's left of which is a warm chuckle
I remember being a kid and trying to find this song in MLP, I never realized it was a parody and was sad when the show never did this song lmao, now it's been eleven years and I've just found out that the person I subscribed to back in 2020 making videos about fandoms, sung this song and all those still give me so much nostalgia. It's crazy because I knew her voice from somewhere. Just to find out I fell in love with her singing 11 years ago I got so teary eyed from weird happiness damn these songs are nostalgic 😭
This was during a bad part of my life. This fandom got me through it. This fandom was really something. I left after season 4 but my good God were you guys the best.
man everytime i think about FiW i feel bad cause it ended, omg there would be so many amazing episodes from the later seasons. Pinkie meeting her family, starlight being a cult leader/dictator time traveler, the school of friendship, twili ACTUALLY becoming a princess, the smooze, omg so many hilarious stuff we'll never get to see
my fav part is Pinkies mum and dad saying "pinkie if your hearing this it means were dead and gone please dont bake a portal just accept it and move on!.." i just.. i just love it XD
The Pink One Baaack in my day you were weird for liking crayon colored ponies. Now people are genetically engineering ponies to look like them and naming their children Rainbow Dash.
Fun fact with the line 'Sometimes life is not a cake walk served up on a silver spoon' Silver spoon was voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent, who is also the singing voice for Pinkie in the actual show. Probably not even intended, but fun little added meaning nonetheless.

I know nothing about friendship is witchcraft and very little about my little pony itself, yet I've fallen in love with this song and have listened to it on repeat for these past few weeks!
I never really watched this when it came out but I’ve been going through some of the more common FiW stuff recently just to experience it. Jenny Nicholson said she packed this series with references to Disney’s adaptation of Hunchback of Notre Dame. The references are in the littlest places! It’s a completely random subject to incorporate into the plot but every Hunchback reference does make me crack up.
Still... still coming back to this. I've have this song stuck in my head after years of not hearing it. And suddenly I thought about it and it hasn't been more than a day or two I go without listening to it in my playlist... that and Bard.
I’m late to this fandom and it’s so interesting learning who was apart of it. I had no idea Fandroid and Jenny Nicolson were involved with Friendship is Witchcraft! Really makes the world feel small when multiple TH-cam channels I’ve been watching for years all to work together.
Anyone else notice that little sigh at the last second of the video (a few seconds or so after she repeats the line "Some day I'm gonna go home") It's kinda quiet though...
Unpopular opinion: I still love this fandom. Sure, it’s not the same as it was back in 2011-13, and a lot of people have left, but a lot of great people have stayed, too. There are still many of us who have stuck with it since the beginning (or since we started watching) and are still dedicated. The ones who are still here are very tight-knit, and there are still people making awesome fan projects. I agree that the show was a little iffy in seasons 6 and 7, but I believe 8 was a bit better, and now that we’re in I last season, I feel that it’s gonna go out with a bang. Even long after the show has ended, the fandom will still be here. And who knows, maybe G5 will be even better (though I kinda doubt it, lol).
I don't think it's that unpopular an opinion. I've been here since 2012 (in the fandom, not literally in these comments :D ) and like you say, the people who are still around are often those who really, really like MLP. Many of those who were in it for the lulz'n'memes drifted away years ago. I actually liked S7 quite a bit, but that's personal opinion of course. S9 is seeming solid so far, I think. :)
@@camrynbrewer2370 For me, the last four seasons are pretty easy to rank: 5 > 7 > 8 > 6. They all had episodes I liked and others I disliked, of course.
God I miss the golden days of the fandom and just listening to brony music and watching new episodes. I wish I could go back and experience all this again.

I think that this song is about Pinkie wanting to go back in time to save her parents from whatever happened from them in the past.
Her parents know that Pinkie can't bear the sadness if they died, so they saved a recording about how they want her to move on and accept their deaths. But Pinkie still wanted to make a portal so she can save them.
It's like Gypsy Bard. In Gypsy Bard is about how her parents have died and she was shipped off to the orphanage. The orphanage told Pinkie to forget about her parents to fit in, so she dug graves and danced with orphan foals in the grave. Pinkie mentioned that when you're feeling sad, listen to the song and it'll make you happy because her gypsy magic hypnotizes you to being happy.
Well... That's pretty dark...
im pretty sure friendship is witchcraft explains it but since I haven't seen it... (I try to keep my search history clean)
from what I've seen i think its mostly the same as you said but I think they are talking to her from heaven or as ghosts or something
;-; Why did I have to see this comment
In friendship is magic it literally explains that
In gypsy bard it says "when I was a little filly, a galloping blaze overtook my city"
Very next line - "so they shipped me off to the orphanage said 'ditch those roots if you wanna fit in' "
So right after the fire, she became an orphan. Clearly pointing out her parents were killed in a fire
Im pretty sure it was a fire that killed her parents, cause in gypsy bard she said “a galloping blaze over took my city”
OMFG as a kid, I was babysat by my aunt who was a pastors wife. They were so mad and disappointed in my parents for giving me an MLP themed birthday party, and talking about how it’s witchcraft and magic. And right now I’m remembering exactly what they said,”there’s a secret hidden version, with its real name ‘friendship is witchcraft’” when my mom and I were like, ‘ohhh haha no that’s probably something else’ he said “don’t believe me? Look it up in TH-cam” my mom did, I wasn’t allowed to watch MLP after that 😔
my mom didnt let me watch it again bc she saw a “fan made” video of twilight n spike doing the yk.. so she thought the actual show was like that 😭
What the hell that’s actually messed up 😭
dude that's so sad
That’s the problem with lots of the MLP fan-work, really.
took me three hours, but I did an impression cover of this song :)
Cool!
PINKIE ROSE?
Hiya
Ahhh you were my childhood :,)
Ty for the memories
Omg hiiiii
Probably already commented this but whatever.
This is literally about Pinkie bring back her parents, but making enough to save seven more, which is literally reflected in the series by the x/9.
I wasn't around when FiW was actually being put out. As it's also a pun for "a stitch in time saves nine," was this actually a thing in FiW that she'd save nine ponies total?
@@paulelkin3531 yeah, that’s what the original comment was talking about: the counter that pops up pretty much whenever time travel is involved is the “nine” she saved
@@TheTinyDiamond That's actually really clever. Thanks for clarifying.
@@TheTinyDiamond the better part is that everything that pops up could be considered a parent
6 years later, I'm back here again. :')
Jaxx same
:) welcome to 2019 where we still listen to this song
@@fluffiu I'm with you, fellas

I’m glad this is the legacy Jenny Nicholson left behind.
Now she makes some amazing video essays! ❤
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN’T KNOW JENNY NICHOLSON VOICED/WROTE FRIENDSHIP IS WITCHCRAFT!!??
Brittany Hansen who?
@@jimmyelkordy3752 Jenny Nicholson! She makes Disney/Pop culture related videos here on TH-cam! She's great!
I only found out from her video on the last bronycon haha, I think it's pretty cool that she acknowledged that the g word for travellers is actually a slur and that she regrets using it. The song still slaps tho
@@jimmyelkordy3752 she's amazing

HOW DID I EVEN GET TO THIS SIDE OF TH-cam. I'M NOT EVEN PART OF THIS FANDOM AND I LOVE THIS.
Mr. Mayor!
*looks up from eating a cookie* yes?
I guess so...
Democracy Cookie
you know so :)
I guess as my friend says, Pinkie is love, Pinkie is life? Idk. I'm not part of this fandom.
I totally don't sing this when I cook....nope, totally don't
Who does. Not me. 0-0.....
Trust me... * i go under the counter grabbing a bowl and dough and i start to sing, i come back up , covered in flour,* * i then stand up holding up a dog* IT WAS THE DOG..
I'd like to do that, but they don't sell any eyes of a newt in the local grocery store.
XD Or do they? DUN DUN DUN....
So.. You're making a portal?..
...
Okay.
I’ve never even seen this show, or any of what it’s fandom has created, but the melody of this song now lives rent free in my brain and I can’t stop whistling it. Someone help. I think I’m going insane.
Watch the show now.
*starts crying*
This isn't from MLP it's from fiw (friendship is witchcraft)
its 8 something am and im baked af and this is putting me in my feels
thanks pinkie ig
hehe, _baked..._
"Eye of newt and cinnamon"
This lady is legit putting cinnamon and mustard together-
*Cursed ingredients*
That's Pinkie For ya!
Man, 11 years ago. Things sure have changed...
Yeah, things were more simple and humble, it invited people to be creative like this.
Now it's all Princesses and Castles.

Weedbrony okay then...
Oh yeah now it's incest and crap.
Bro I love this song so much for absolutely no reason 😭
SAMEE🙃
When you think about it, pinkie has no choice then to hide behind a mask of happiness. Her parents gave up on her and when she looked for them, they died. Her sister never cared about her. She was abandoned and misstreated.
She is closing of her self from everypony because with out her mask, she fells vulnerable.
Idk just thought I'd share
I'm still curious how this would have turned out if this series continued. I would have loved to see Pinkie's song about actually getting back home.
This isn’t from the show if that’s what you’re implying lol.
@@S0m3B0z0OnTheInternet I know that, it's Friendship is Witchcraft. But they got a C&D from Hasbro.
Well, Pinkie did end up being reunited with her parents, but she was stuck with taking care of them as babies in the present day. So there didn't end up being a home for her to return to
This song is a classic from the early days of the Brony fandom.
Damn I was so ungrateful when I first heard this masterpiece on the internet.
This is still pure GOLD, and I wish I listened to this more when I first heard it.
Dude this shit is 6 years old today oh my god my life has passed by so fast.
dude it’s been 9 years now :((
@@Lasagna_420 yeah :( almost a decade
still here.
@@tsuki9423 yeah
aaaa
would you believe me if I told you I only found this in 2019 on a midnight nostalgia trip and started crying in the middle of the night over it?
The only real way.
Yeah, its now 2021 and happened to me :(
me too
Yep.
You know something, I like this song, it makes me feel sympathy for pinkie pie.
+MidnightStorm022 dude i been waiting for you all day
the fact this says 10 years ago genuinely makes me emotional
Fell out of the fandom a few years ago. Still come back to this song every once and awhile, because its a bop
Whoever writes some of the music for Friendship is Witchcraft, they've got some genius going on...
If this were a canon:
I'll cook up a solution with the knowledge I've accrued.
They say a kitchen time saves nine, but I'm just saving two.
I've gathered the ingrediants
to make some tasty cake (yes all I could come up with)
There's hardly room for seconds when I'm baking them away! (that sounds terrifying)
Watch as I work my baking magic!
Eggs and flower, cinnamon!
Watch as the batter turns to matter!
Making a cake, dig in!
We'll cook food!
Do you like it, Apple Bloom?
Sometimes life is not a cake walk
served up on a silver spoon
Toss the dough and save the cake and
Chocolate sprinkles, stir the wrinkles, marination, great creation! Vanilla icing, cake piece slicing, yeast is rising, (Apple Bloom gets shocked by oven X3)
E-E-ELECTRYIIIING!
Apple bloom from a radio: Pinkie, if your hearing this, it means I have ran off. Please don't bake a birthday cake, accept it and move on.
My oven is preheated, and I've baked it for the foal.
I'll make this click, *sneak in a lick* and make this all work full!
*To be continued in a reply that I make*
Watch as I work my baking magic!
Extra sugar, milk of cow!
Celestia, bless this birthday today!
Today, we're gonna be full!
Today we're gonna be full!
I’m shook
wait omg-
your saying that you dont work for mlp-
This is perfect-
I think instead of "do you like it apple bloom?"
I think it would be "do you feel it, Apple bloom?"
this is unironically on my main playlist dude it’s so good😭😭😭😭
Under pressure
It’s amazing how this song sticks with you. I suddenly hummed this today at work and man the memories came back.
This hurts on several different levels.
But I would never say it's cringey.
I miss you all guys, so much.
We are still here, old friend
@@jikoriri3656 I suppose I'm still here with you!

Just...nostalgic...
I was thinking this was just a *burning memory*
I can’t tell if you’re mentioning the song, or if you’re messing with me directly as I just listened to the whole collection and I’m tripping and freaked out
@@ramenisyummy6498 I just wanted to mention the nostalgia of the song, I know what it's about.
@@stinkyfriesz ah okay
I love this song so so so much-
OKAY BUT SAME 😩
SAME LOL
I’m obsessed with this song. I don’t care that I am 21 I will always have a special place in my heart for Pinkie Pie!!
did u watch cupcakes and smile hd
That moment when its almost 2017 and you still listen to the song

Tyler St. Peter Same!
Hearing this song after 11 years again... I dont know how to describe my feelings... After hundreds hours i spend on Forums, Watching mlp and listening to mlp songs... After all of that... Im crying outta nostalgia. What a good times
I still come back to this and the Gypsy Bard. When I listen to this, I feel a mix of melancholy, nostalgia, and blunted cringe all that's left of which is a warm chuckle
GET OUT OF MY HEAD YOU AWESOME SONG.
"Save the date and..." THREE WAY PUN!!!!
Holy SHIT!
1. Save the day
2. Save the date (time)
3. Save the date (fruit)
pun implies that one phrase has has multiple meanings, so at most this is a two way pun.
But yes it very clever and good on you for noticing that.
If you think about it, Pinkie Pie made a whole beat in a song by her parents voice crack mid-recording
and also would she have known that a portal could be baked if her parents didnt say "please dont bake a portal"?
I remember being a kid and trying to find this song in MLP, I never realized it was a parody and was sad when the show never did this song lmao, now it's been eleven years and I've just found out that the person I subscribed to back in 2020 making videos about fandoms, sung this song and all those still give me so much nostalgia. It's crazy because I knew her voice from somewhere. Just to find out I fell in love with her singing 11 years ago I got so teary eyed from weird happiness damn these songs are nostalgic 😭
This was during a bad part of my life. This fandom got me through it. This fandom was really something. I left after season 4 but my good God were you guys the best.
I remember watching this as a kid ahhh what being introduced to the internet at a early age does to you
so this is the funky song made while counting down the days from season 1 to season 2
I see what ya' did there........ (JanAnimations refrence)
Joseph Nathan yeah, it's a shame hasbro pulled the plug on him
blusgaming picks No they haven't, Jan has made 2 new PMVs in the last 4 months so I'm pretty sure they have not!
Joseph Nathan then probably haven't heard about the very recent C&D that he got
yes and i think i know what vid you are talkin about. is it lets go meet the bronies? I LOVE THAT VIDEO!
man everytime i think about FiW i feel bad cause it ended, omg there would be so many amazing episodes from the later seasons. Pinkie meeting her family, starlight being a cult leader/dictator time traveler, the school of friendship, twili ACTUALLY becoming a princess, the smooze, omg so many hilarious stuff we'll never get to see
my fav part is Pinkies mum and dad saying "pinkie if your hearing this it means were dead and gone please dont bake a portal just accept it and move on!.." i just.. i just love it XD
I like when she says "do you fear it applebloom" Good reference
Well do you you need to answer
Hahahahahahahhahahahah xD i love vinyl scratch
Wub Wub Wub
A Duba Dub Dub
This was 5 years ago!!
ikr, such memories
gaaaah don't remind me!
Oh my god that makes me feel ancient...
*****
Just wait until we are like 70 and rewatching these videos
The Pink One Baaack in my day you were weird for liking crayon colored ponies. Now people are genetically engineering ponies to look like them and naming their children Rainbow Dash.
Fun fact with the line 'Sometimes life is not a cake walk served up on a silver spoon'
Silver spoon was voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent, who is also the singing voice for Pinkie in the actual show. Probably not even intended, but fun little added meaning nonetheless.
“It’s from the show” ahh yes Pinkie singing abt bringing her dead parents to life by black magic was my fav episode 🔥✨
god the nostalgia is almost making me cry right now
U alive?
you love the song, then you here the ending, and go, wait, WHAT! Some day i'm gonna go home.
it's all upbeat, and then, the ending is all sad.
Spazz Dino Omg I know. I meant I don't get why they made it sad at the end...
Sad for the ponies, not sad for us, Pinkie would be in our world then. Wouldn't that be great?
crestofreliability
then nobody would be sad xD

I know nothing about friendship is witchcraft and very little about my little pony itself, yet I've fallen in love with this song and have listened to it on repeat for these past few weeks!
Haha... Anyone here in fucking 2024? This song is almost as old as me damn
Yeah
Yep
Yes
GRIFFINILA WORKED ON GTHIS!?!? I LOVE IT EVEN MORE NOW
I never really watched this when it came out but I’ve been going through some of the more common FiW stuff recently just to experience it. Jenny Nicholson said she packed this series with references to Disney’s adaptation of Hunchback of Notre Dame. The references are in the littlest places! It’s a completely random subject to incorporate into the plot but every Hunchback reference does make me crack up.
Still trying to find out if this is a dark song or wholesome....
Both lol
well its about pinkie using witchcraft to go back in time and prevent her parents death, so take that as you will
Hisoka is also a brony
A dark song trying it's best to SOUND wholesome
100% dark
Has it been 7 years already?
Feels like only yesterday, I was watching this in high school.
Time's weird, isn't it?
1:32 my fav part
Still... still coming back to this. I've have this song stuck in my head after years of not hearing it. And suddenly I thought about it and it hasn't been more than a day or two I go without listening to it in my playlist... that and Bard.
I’m late to this fandom and it’s so interesting learning who was apart of it. I had no idea Fandroid and Jenny Nicolson were involved with Friendship is Witchcraft! Really makes the world feel small when multiple TH-cam channels I’ve been watching for years all to work together.
Pinkie: being nice and a baker
the songs for her:
To this day I can't cook anything without first opening the portal and jumping in. Really adds spice to any recipe!
Anyone else notice that little sigh at the last second of the video (a few seconds or so after she repeats the line "Some day I'm gonna go home") It's kinda quiet though...
Darkest_Hour OH THATS SAD
Same
Unpopular opinion: I still love this fandom. Sure, it’s not the same as it was back in 2011-13, and a lot of people have left, but a lot of great people have stayed, too. There are still many of us who have stuck with it since the beginning (or since we started watching) and are still dedicated. The ones who are still here are very tight-knit, and there are still people making awesome fan projects. I agree that the show was a little iffy in seasons 6 and 7, but I believe 8 was a bit better, and now that we’re in I last season, I feel that it’s gonna go out with a bang. Even long after the show has ended, the fandom will still be here. And who knows, maybe G5 will be even better (though I kinda doubt it, lol).
I don't think it's that unpopular an opinion. I've been here since 2012 (in the fandom, not literally in these comments :D ) and like you say, the people who are still around are often those who really, really like MLP. Many of those who were in it for the lulz'n'memes drifted away years ago. I actually liked S7 quite a bit, but that's personal opinion of course. S9 is seeming solid so far, I think. :)
Now that I’ve gone back and watched it again, I think S7 is actually better than 8 (6 is still a mixed bag, though).
@@camrynbrewer2370 For me, the last four seasons are pretty easy to rank: 5 > 7 > 8 > 6. They all had episodes I liked and others I disliked, of course.
