“instead of showing us how they died, they showed us how they lived”: a paraphrase of a really nice TH-cam comment I saw.
I think I know the comment you're talking about, and I still think about it just because of how bittersweet it is.
I think it was the one by MarimbaBurd
“How the show tackled death;”
>it didn’t
@@galacgacwatson3102 where is the comment itself?
What’s really tragic is that Pear Butter died thinking her father hated her.
:(
😭
I’m sorry, I do not understand this story… who are the two old ponies meeting at the end then?? Because, I thought that was the dad? Then who died? I’m very confused.
@@CrazyBunniePandaThe two old people at the end were the dad of applejack’s mom (the pear side) and the mom of applejack’s dad (the apple side). The ones who died were applejack’s parents. Hope that makes sense. 😅
@@unityinvariety yeh, I had to rewatch a few times. Sorry, I’ve never seen this before. Thank you. 😊
this is why mlp is peak fiction
NAHHHHH i thought there were ponies on earth that speak and we needed to go to counterlot high to go😀
@@Aisha_Amusathey meant that MLP is the best in the category of fiction, not that it’s obviously fake
If they truly thought that there’re ponies in real life who can speak human languages just from a misunderstanding from a TH-cam comment then they’re a dumbass. Otherwise cmon, this is not peak fiction, or something considered one of the best works of fiction.
It's pretty good, but I wouldn't say peak.
@@Gloom_Shroom_Gamingwhat does peak mean
What I find to be the more difficult pill to swallow in the episode is the depiction of pride. Grand Pear was depicted as a very prideful individual. Even if no one else understood why the two families were feuding, he didn’t want to lose the fight, his pride blinded him, and it ended with him abandoning his daughter because he couldn’t see over the error of his ways.
Idk. I’m from the country, farms and orchards everywhere and it’s not too uncommon for a bride or husband to be excommunicated from their family or say church or something
@@mochamanplays257
I wouldn’t say that’s quite the point. It doesn’t matter where you’re from, pride is still always going to be a potential problem, especially when conflicts between familial generations get involved. It’s a real test of character to see past one’s own pride and act in accordance to what’s best for those around them.
And now he has to live with the fact that he couldn’t be there for his beloved daughter on her deathbed. And he knows it, too. If that’s not the ultimate punishment for pride, I don’t know what is.
@@nickbritt1145
Yeah, the last interaction he ever had with his daughter before her death was disowning her.
Fucking devastating episode.
Exactly
You missed a detail. At the base of the twisted trees is the stone with their engraved cutie marks. They got married at that stone.
I'm crying, this is so gawrsh sweet
aren't you a bundle of joy.
@@BlepLmao.?
@@rigureit means they’re emotional
IM GONNA CRY THATS ADORBS 😭
I once read a comment saying, everyone wanted to know how Applejacks parents died but instead the writers showed us how they lived, and I think that's beautiful
Yess
It is beautiful
but I still wanna know how they died
@@Crispycheese-ii8lt sour apples
honestly a beautiful saying
@@plus9775 I love sour apples
My favorite part of the entire series is how Granny immediately realized how wrong she was when Buttercup was abandon because "wow, you're right, you are an apple now". That's the apple family way. Family is family, even if they aren't blood or anything like you.
Pear didn't even go to his own daughters funeral or care to meet any of his grandkids.
I just feel like there is a lot more that hasbro wasn't allowed to show/imply when it comes to grand pear than the classic "me or them!" "well basic human compassion and healthy relationships would say that anyone forcing a choice like that shows you only care about the power you have over me, not who i am so- yeah I pick them" And not only follow through, but follow through for *decades*
Also we stan Mrs. Cake and Mayor Mare for how supportive they are
I think the moment the feud died for Granny Smith was when Buttercup said that. It stunned her into realizing how stupid things were. And then seeing Buttercup’s father reject her like that hit Granny hard. She realized she couldn’t reject her son like that. And what AJ didn’t understand at the beginning of the episode was that Granny was choked up because to think about what happened hurt terribly.
ETA: I think Grand Pear, upon hearing of his daughter's death, grieved and hated himself. And he returned to Ponyville to try and heal things.
This comment section is making me cry. Even though some things in MLP weren't perfect, I believe those developments prove all the love and care embedded in it. I miss that so much.
I really love this episode. It wasnt upfront with the whole "the apple siblings' parents are dead and thats a thing", instead it showed us who they were, and how they came to be, and that last segment where they all came together to just be happy with who they were was really sweet :D It didnt make their deaths the whole episode, but instead their lives and how they positively influenced the fam :)
why...why is a children's show making me cry so much?!? This episode was beautiful! 😭
Ikr 😭
this is a good thing honestly, because it shows that the people working on this show aren't just making a kids show just to be a mindless distraction to the kids, they're actually making a good show for everyone to enjoy, not just the kids. Shows like these not only entertain the grown ups but are actually very good for a child's development
@partypoison_ that is true, another example of a 'kids' show doing the same thing is Bluey. It handles some pretty heavy topics very well. All the adults I know who sometimes watch it with their kids think it's a very lovely show that all ages can enjoy
I literally go back to their love story whenever I need to take in something sweet and now just realized how crazy it is that Big Mac ended up with a pony who loves to bake when his mom was best friends with one. 😭
That’s so true!
Omg true
I don't think it's particularly crazy. It's possible Big Macintosh knew his mother was friends with Mrs. Cake, he is the oldest, so it could have been accidental parental influence, or maybe it was just a coincidence. The revelation would have been that she was a Pear who married into the Apple family.
My father died in 2019, and with the end of MLP releasing, and trying to find a distraction from my grief, I binged the whole series. When I got back to this episode, I couldn't contain my tears. To this day, I can't watch this episode, or listen to Buttercup's song without crying. The moment when Burnt Oak says "You've come to hear about your dad? I'm glad, I was hoping you would. It's nice to talk about." Always gets me.
😢 my condolences
I’m so sorry for your loss 🙏🏻💞♥️

I LOVE how mlp tackles certain topics like this bro it shows just how peak this show is
Yea i love the episode with Silvermist's brother, Terramar and how they handled separated parents
It’s the best show.
Or the episode with Wind Rider and Quibble pants, how wind rider is dealing with a new step dad , and the adjusting to that
@@Issywtf omg yeahh
As someone who lost my mom to cancer around the time I was entering the 2nd grade, this episode hit home for me. Like Applejack and Big Mac, I do have a few memories of her. However, like Applebloom, that's all I really have: stories. Regarding who she was prior to my being born, I don't know except for what my dad, other older family members, and what my stepmom was there to see when she was getting to know her. The pictures I have remind me that she loved me, and is here in my soul, something that's a bit of a comfort.
I'm sure she was a wonderful person.. my condolences. ❤
One of the episodes that solidified Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco as my favorite writers ever. They also wrote Legend of Everfree, which talks about death in an even more subtle way. And more importantly, they worked on Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, which manages to tackle subjects like trauma, murder, bioethics, supremacist ideologies, and genocide, all while keeping it hopeful and kid friendly.
I didn't know that they also worked on Kipo!
First time seeing Kipo mentioned online, is the ending good? I stopped watching shortly after the bit where the wolf girl's past gets revealed
A TH-camr who deleted his channel theorized that the very next episode implies what their fates were. AJ and Big Mac were given the task to deliver pies on a dangerous route leaving Applebloom home alone, and AJ was so protective if Applebloom in the entire episode that it was out of character. Applebloom goes on that dangerous journey by herself and encounters a chimera (or whatever the name of the creature with a tiger head goat head and snake head is). Pear Butter was nicknamed Buttercup. The TH-camr then went to this movie Princess Bride where this prince goes on an adventure with a princess named Buttercup, and they get killed by the same creature. The theory is that they met the same fate, and AJ was acting the way she did in the episode is cause of PTSD and if it were to happen again, she didn’t want Applebloom to be alone. Sorry this comment took so long.
It wasn't the very next episode, that episode was in season 4 while perfect pear came much later in season 7 - however it does make some sense as to why AJ was so out of character that episode and so panicked when she heard from the girls that Applebloom ran off to do the pie delivery herself if her parents died to the same monster, or at the very least died from a similar situation.
@Minegirl0609 oh, my bad. Must be either remembering wrong or when he watched the show it was in a different order
Also: just so you know, like the whole plot of the princess bride is Wesley and buttercup finding each other and getting together, neither of them die lol (though Wesley famously becomes "almost dead")
@@DelilahFNightingale oh, my bad. Haven't seen the movie, so he was probably talking about something else.
I don't like that theory because that would mean that Granny Smith tells them to keep doing something that killed their own parents?? :/
GAH This episode legitimately made me cry when it came out. I was NOT expecting it for it to allude to their death so much
i just realized while watching this that apple farm tree shape like apple while the pear tree is shape like a pear.
I keep rewatching mlp guys im that slow!!
it's such a little yet cute detail
I really love how they gave Pear Butter Pinkie's curls as a nod to the fact Pinkie and Applejack are cousins.
edit: this is false lol i misremembered the episode. the curls are just a coincidence!
edit 2: me AND the person who corrected me both misremembered. it's left ambiguous whether or not they're related. so who knows
WHAT
@@Karma-xe7vdActually ignore my other comment, I was bamboozled and it's currently 1 am.
@Karma-xe7vd pretty sure they are distantly related cos the pies and apples have familial ties somewhere? Idk
But that would mean that pinkie is related to the pears instead of the apples. It would have to be bright mac that has to have the curls
@@snorlaxcrossing95 pinkie being related to applejack through the pears would not prevent them from being cousins?
It's pretty dubious up until Crusaders of the lost mark whether or not Applejack's parents are dead but the little hint we were given at the cute-ceanera was downright confirmed by Perfect Pear, in one of the most beautiful and tragic story's I've seen. This episode was clearly inspired by Shakespeare but I actually think it's much more tragic emotionally, just with the exclusion of death as part of the main tragedy (it magnified the emotions from the wedding/disownment scene definitely, while being more subtle / left for the viewer to realise the weight of it).
Romeo and Juliet was less a love story and more a story on not making rash decisions based on emotion. Perfect Pear however focused heavily on the importance of family and love and in the end it was Grand Pear who made a terrible decision (not the main characters) based on emotion (ie disowning Buttercup). The way the death is handled is way more tragic than the show tells you directly, the fact Grand Pear probably never spoke to his daughter again since disowning her only returning to Ponyville after her death is just awful.
Yeah, I also think that’s the biggest difference between Romeo and Juliet and this story. Romeo and Juliet THOUGHT they were in love when they were in lust while Applejack’s parents genuinely loved each other.
@@ILoveDogs117true
Knowing Pear Butter wasn’t originally an Apple makes the Episode where pinkie thinks she’s a distant cousin of applejack really hit for me. The idea applejacks family reached all around back to pinkie, possibly through her parents siblings and sides, really clicks with me
Imagine buying pear jam from your grandpa and thinking he is a stranger. (Also, congrats on 1k! I remember when you only had 100.)
Also, hopefully you enjoyed staring at the wall.
Thank you!! And staring at the wall is always a treat ^^
Actually, my sister is my half sister and we didn't know that until recently. So, when she was little, she made a painting at a fair and a stranger bought it. She remembered that throughout her life and I remember being jealous, because her art was so good a stranger bought it. Turns out, that actually was her father and he kept the painting for years. So yeah, it happens sometimes hahaha
I am adopted. I lost my biological mother when I was around 11. I never knew her, and only met her a few times after my birth.
She wasn't in a good place, she was an addict which sadly gave me a plethora of issues starting out. But I’ll never hold it against her because she had to deal with my father. From what I know, since I was a child with special needs and other reasons, I can not recall why, they’d get certain funds to help. That's the only reason he wanted to stay for my birth. My mother was so strong, it broke her heart but she carried through with the adoption process, and she never let him get to me.
My adoptive family doesn't even feel like that. I feel like I was born from my a.mother and a.father. I love them more than anything. But my mother, she’ll always be a part of me. I am not mad at her, not upset because I know she loved me so much that she had the mindset to put me up for adoption no matter how much it hurt her.
She had a lot of issues, she would have been 52 this year and I know if she had lived I would have gone through the process to make a connection. I miss her, and I don’t think I’ve ever not missed her.
She was a great mother, just the decision to protect me was enough to make me see that.

something I saw someone mention in a review of the episode (I think it was Equestron? could be wrong about that tho) was a subtle detail that most viewers likely wouldn't even notice on a first watch.
Any time that the Apple siblings mention that they're there to ask about their parents, the pony they're talking to drops their smile for a moment. It's very clear that they all thoroughly enjoyed telling their stories, they likely have very few if not absolutely no bad memories of their old friends. But an unexpected reminder of a deceased friend would make almost anyone frown for just a moment.
I also noticed that while watching. Details like this is what makes this episode even more special. Their reactions look so natural, and you can feel both their sadness and deep love for their friends.
I like the whole "Romeo and Juliet" theme of this episode. 2 feuding families and 2 kids who see past their differences to show that they can get along. I like how it ends as well. The two grandparents setting aside their differences for their grandkids :). Also I love the song "You're in my head like a catchy song". Beautiful song :D
Many people get the meaning of "THE TRAJEDY of Romeo and Juliet" all wrong.
See, Shakespeare was trying to convey that Romeo and Juliet were NOT in love. It was just an infatuation. An infatuation that they both died for. That is the trajedy.
Before Romeo layed eyes on Juliet, he was crazy over another girl. He would whine and cry, because she would not give him the time of day. He would say that he could not go on living if he doesn't have her.
He was so emotional over it, his own best friend would mock him and joke about how whiney Romeo was over this girl. Romeo overhears this friend Mercutio making fun of him shortly after he sees Juliet (and falls "in love" at first sight)... by saying, "he jests at scars that never felt a wound." In other words, once Romeo layed eyes on Juliet, he was like, "What pain? Who? I don't care about that other girl that I was crying over 5 minutes ago."
The truth is, if Romeo bumped into some other girl, he would have said, "Juliet who? I don't care about any Juliet, I only feel love for this NEW girl."
Romeo pined for and wanted to die over every girl he met, always forgetting about the previous girl when he sees a new girl.
Romeo and Juliet was a great story, but not actually a good love story. This was actually pretty sweet.
For some reason this episode always makes me cry. Growing up without my parents and forced to live with my grandparents was tough. I’m glad this episode exists. It made me and a lot others feel better about their home lives.
Episodes like these always get my teary eyed its sad out of all three of the apple kids you can tell apple bloom remembers nothing about them and apple jack's are limited while big mack him asking to hear more stories show he remembered a bit about them being the eldest and misses them a whole lot
I remember when this episode came out, my uncle was in the room at the end, that was the first and last time I ever saw him cry.
Not the lump in my throat when I saw the trees
no same im literally sobbing rn
This is my favourite episode in the series, and it's not even about the main characters. It's a wonderful little story and just hearing about it touches me in the feels.
Just hearing the episode be summarized in a short video like this still makes me emotional. Watching the full thing is just something else really. These kinds of stories are why MLP will always be near to peoples hearts for years to come. Even if you forget details you remember emotion.
i'm glad someone covered this episode! barely anyone talks about it
This episode shows how death brings people closer, by reuniting grandpa pear with the apple family. It’s one of my fav episodes in the series
I am not sure who else noticed, even though I never watched the show, but the thing with the trees made me think of the Greek story on Philemon and Baucis: the couple that won the favor of Zeus because of their hospitality when no one else in the town would offer it. They wished to keep a temple and to die together. In the end, the couple turn into intertwining trees when they died. I wonder if that was an intentional detail.
Oh wow! That's true, maybe it was partially inspired by it. Really nice detail to notice ❤
Mrs cake and Mayor Mare were so SUPPORTIVE of them
I loved the episode when it first aired. I kinda of wish this was earlier on in the series, because it felt to me like they just forgot their parents existed. If this was earlier in the series, I feel like we could've gotten more character development with the Apples
I heard somewhere that we shy away from showing heavy themes in kids' media, but all it does is further alienate the kids who go through those things in real life. The way media tailored for kids has a unique ability to gently share the reality of hardships while giving a message of hope and understanding is so important. There are kids with dead or divorcing parents. There are kids who were traumatized and abandoned. There are kids who were hurt in a terrible accident and those who are born with disabilities that others don't understand. It's important to show them that they're real and that they can be okay, AND to expose the other kids who don't share the same experiences to this to nurture empathy.
One of the saddest episodes, it actually made me cry it was so sweet 🥰🥰
This without a doubt is my favorite episode from the MLP franchise, such a sweet episode with a genuine story that I can’t help but go rewatch it again every now and then :)
I don't know what it is, but I still have not watched this episode. I keep hearing its praise, most for its depiction of a natural growth of love and being heartwarming, and now for its depiction of moving on from death and remembering the people themselves, especially if they were loved ones who you weren't fortunate enough to spend so much of your time with.
this video was absolutely amazing. How softly you speak, your summary and the way you spoke about the topic of parent loss so gently was amazing. This is one of the best anyalasis/summary videos ive seen in ages and i hope youre able to produce more content like this
@@vixymix101 Each to their own, as long as it's 18+ character ig
Ngl im getting emotional about those intertwined trees
This was honestly one of my favorite episodes in the whole series. So many shows try to do the same and fail. They showed us just how much they loved each other in a way that was just so heartwarming. It also made me cry so much. Early MLP was cute, but later MLP was more about the characters and the stories and lessons they learned. If I had a show I could watch for the first time again, it would be MLP without a doubt.
That start episode that that means that love would never die. It’s a beautiful episode.
i’m not at all an mlp fan nor grew up on it, but damn, this surprisingly made me feel warmth
Thank you for making this video. Pear Butter aka Buttercup and Bright Mac are one of my favorite couples in My little pony friendship is magic and I’m Applejack, Big Mac and AppleBloom got to find out more about them. They may be dead but their spirits live on in their children. Rest in peace Bright Mac and Buttercup. You did well in raising your kids.
Best episode of the show, I cry every time 😭 thank you for this video!
Edit: “Are you making me choose?” Absolutely broke me
Fantastic to see new MLP fan channels popping up even now. Thanks for your service to the fandom!
ill be honest, i may not watch mlp much, never got into it, but god damn this episode from your description is beautiful honestly
this is so sweet and makes me wanna cry
This episode was one of the last ones i watched.
i really love how they handled the topic.
I've seen some shows take on the subject and this is my favorite example of it.
I’m not a brony, but I used to watch MLP when I was little.
I kinda remember this episode, and this video made me cry while explaining this and stuff 😭
This is one of the few episodes that had me in tears by the end. You did an incredible job explaining it and i'm glad i found your channel.
Brony on.
can someone catch the onion cutting ninja that was in my room? 😂😭
I've seen this episode many many times, but somehow this video is what made it bring me to tears for the first time- you explained this episode and it's importance perfectly
This episode came out when I was probably 6 or 7, at least when I saw it, and even back then, I knew it was my favorite episode. I didn’t have as much media knowledge, and I still like things that are universally hated or vise-versa, but I could tell it was one of the best. In my head like a catchy song gets stuck in my head because it is such a beautiful song. It was a story even I wanted to know, I just wanted to know where they were, and I knew they passed on, but the way they never said is still beautiful.
you did an amazing recap of the episode! literally had tears in my eyes!
I also love how well this made use of the supporting cast, while also fleshing them out. Really nice detail.
Now THESE are the type of bronies I can get behind. Kind, sweet, video essays.
most of the fandom is kind and sweet. dont let the loud terrible minority speak for the quiet majority
Not sure how in to G5 you are outside your videos on the lackluster games but I thought it was really cool how the most recent episode of Tell Your Tale also has Sunny deal with the loss of her parents, with emphasis on her mom which we hadn't seen until this point too. Obviously didn't go nowhere near as in depth as G4 did since we're dealing with a 5 minute episode vs a 24 minute one but I do think it was nice to see them tackle the subject again as Sunny's parents hadn't really been mentioned since the G5 movie.
The one thing I don't understand about this episode is, the apple siblings didn't know their mother was a pear, but they knew about the trees that their parents planted when they got married. Wouldn't they have guessed long ago their mother was a pear if they knew about the two trees their parents left them?
Continuity error, probably.
...Or they just never thought about it. Their family tree was the Apple Family tree, after all.
I don't think they knew about the trees
They must have known about the trees, they said "mom and dad left us something to remember them by", if their parents didn't show them the trees, how would their kids know that the trees were there? They could have just stumbled upon them one day, but then how would they have known it was from their parents?
It doesn't add up
@@Breezy_Hazethe only thing I can think of is that either Burnt Oak, Mrs. Cake or the Mayor knew about the trees being planted and therefore knew the location and told them but they just didn’t show it on screen
This episode encapsulates the heart of the entire series.
Dude, I love shoes who tackle these sorts of topics. As someone who lost a parent, this always hits deep.
It reminds me of shows like The Owl House that also tackle this topic. I loved the way Luz presents her grief to Amity over the loss of her father. She just responded to it like it was no big deal and tried to blow it off even though it was killing her inside and I understood her so much for that.
I hope further shows in the future tackle this topic and show brilliant reputations of this sort of subjects.
This was a really well done video. Thank you so much for keeping the love for MLP alive. I've loved this show since day one, and still do to this day. You've earned yourself a subscriber. I love forward to future content from you.
The late parents of Applejack, Penelope "Pear" Butter and Benjamin "Bright" McIntosh
i doubt their real names could've been that, it'd ruin the whole name scheme of mlp, which is why i never see generic names
I would imagine the vague nature of their passing could actually be helpful for people who've lost their parents. It allows them to relate as much as they want/need without going into details that might be painful (this IS a children's show). Especially considering how universal loss is-- we might not lose our parents at a young age, but they will pass eventually. There's no need to make it one specific scenario. Its not about the story, its about the message.
This is my absolute favorite episode of MLP friendship is magic just because of this episode having a huge connection to me. I lost both of parents when I was in my tweens, very early teens. I wont get into how they passed but they died only within a year of each other, first my mother, then my father. I take a lot after my mother and I too have two siblings, three if you include me. I look a lot like my father while also acting like my mother, my sister looks a lot like my mother but acts more like my father, my brother looks more like my mother but can somewhat resemble my father at very rare times but we all still have them in memory by how we look and act. Although I do miss them and I am still recovering, at least they are still with me by how me and my siblings are. It’s also ironic because Applejack and her siblings being two females, one male and the same is for me so you can see WHY this episode is my absolute favorite.
It doesn't matter how you die what matters is how you live
this episode means a lot to me as someone who's father passed away at a young age. i think this was a beautiful way to tack;e this subject in a kids show, and you did a wonderful job covering it.
Now that G5 is here (I assume in the future), does that mean the characters from G4 are technically dead?
I mean yeah that or they all be extremely old
I think it takes place 1,000 years in the future so YEAH they're all dead. It's possible Twilight is dead too unless she's truly immortal
Discord and spike to the only characters known to still be alive but also G5 sucks Let's Pretend it doesn't exist
Didn't princesses live longer than normal ponys tho?@@vibrantgleam
@@vibrantgleamactually its only been about 400 years, plus alicornc can live over 1000 years, celestia and luna are much older at the beginning of fim
Thanks for the video! Greif is a very important topic to discuss, even with younger audiences :3
I consider this as one of the top 3 best episodes of FiM, the other two being Crusaders of the Lost Mark and Pinkie Pride.
I haven’t watched this show, this makes me want to. I was so close to crying
Best episode and happy sad 😭. A Romeo and Juliet story / relationship, but with a better ending than the Shakespeare play. However, family fights only hurts the people who don't agree with the relationship and they miss out getting the know their grandkids, etc.
an an orphan watching this youtube video made me cry so much this means so much to me 😭❤️
love this video! underrated channel
This is by far my favorite episode and it’s soooo underrated
I just finished "Missing Out" and unfortunately I couldn't comment there due to kid restrictions. It was so well done, a beautiful run through the series. So many moments captured faithfully. I love it. There's clearly so much love and effort put into this.
this video does such a good job with this episode !!!!! 💖
Can you do a series of episode recaps? I love your style. I like watching video summaries instead of the entire movie/ show sometimes.
New subscriber!!! 💖💖💖
This reminds me of when me and my soulmate first got together. Because people never except that we were together.
the one thing that still doesnt make sense to me about this episode is how big mac and applejack know nothing about their parents, applebloom is much younger than them so you would think that the parents would have been in the lives of applejack and big mac at least up until apple bloom was born, dont get me wrong i still love this episode, i just have a hard time overlooking that detail.
It's been a while since I watched the episode so I'm not sure if I remembered this correctly, but I think AJ were only surprised by the fact that her mother was a Pear so maybe the Apple family hid the fact that their mother was a Pear from them?
The episode revolves around the parents having to go through a secret relationship because of the family rivalry, and judging by Grand Pear's reaction to the marriage, i think it's safe to assume that the bad relations still continues at least for some time after the marriage happened
It was a rivalry that lasts for years. Even if Granny Smith ends up accepting Buttercup to the family, I can still imagine that there were a few other Apples who didn't like her, and that could be the reason why they kept the fact that she was a Pear a secret from Big Mac and AJ. Maybe some thinks that it's a taboo that they were a result from a forbidden relationship, maybe others were afraid that if the kids knew they'll end up hating their mother and themselves, or maybe there were other reasons I couldn't think of
There's episodes where Aj and big Mac are children, with granny Smith as their only visible guardian. My guess is her cutie mark wasn't very descriptive, they were too young to care, or both. I doubt she'd bring it up etheir, since they disowned her...and she's part of the apple family now.
This is so nostalgic, this was one of my favs episodes together with the blue pony marying the light purple one 😭♥️
Every single time i see the intertwined trees forming a heart, i wanna cry 😿💔 and actually do
Cryed from start to Finish. It deserves the title of one of the best mlp Episodes.
Seeing some Rainbow Slash art at the end was a hilarious tone shift artpiece. Btw Rainbow Slash is a Nightmare version of Rainbow Dash Similar to Nightmarity (Nightmare possessed Rarity) from the IDW comics. Jane Gumball's art is so neat, she also did all the other Mane 6
Fantastic video! 🩷
Okay probably not the right time but PEAR BUTTER IS SO CUTE OMGG I LOVE HER
For someone who grew up watching My Little Pony since i was 3 years and still consider this one my Favorite Childhood Shows. i'm 15 now and i'm Happy i watched this Show as a kid.
Every Kid should watch MLP, in my opinion
This episode made me cry, I loved it so much.
this episode is so lovely, mlp will forever be my comfort show. 🩷
Real and true 💜
Such a cool episode review
Why did I tear up watching this?
yeah for YEARS my favorite episode was Sisterhooves Social because of how it hit me as the eldest of 3 siblings combining with how I already related to Rarity in various ways... then this episode aired & there I was just tearing up during credits.
I never got the message in this episode when I was a kitten but now as a cat-kit (tween for cats) I am shocked
Jeez. That last bit. The conclusion, how it shows children you should embrace how your parents lived instead of how they died. That hurt. I grew up with my mother, as she died when I was nine, and that HURT. I really felt that, and it caused me to break down, truthfully. Thank you for the content.
First time I watch I was surprised about this episode mlp really gave us a important moment of the series and Applejacks family’s story really gave us a Romeo and Juliet vibe tbh the writers did very well with this story
I never really noticed this, that episode was really cool
MY HEART 😭😭 OH THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️
this is one of my fave episodes
