    Fun fact! In later series, Diamond Tiara finally was able to be convinced that her behavior was bad, and she acknowledged her behavior an apologized for it. It's interesting because, unlike the Babs narrative, that babs was a bully because she was bullied, Diamond Tiara was snooty and pompus like her mother, because she wanted to be like her/it was normalized to her. When she realized her behavior was bad, she realized that disagreeing with her mom would be like when someone disagreed with her, which mad her worry about expectation. Tiaras behavior wasn't glossed over or instantly forgiven, but it was acknowledged and i think thats neat. It wasn't excused, but explained.

    A thing to be remembered is that a cause of most bullying is problems at home. Especially abuse.
    In Babs’s case, she became a bully in her episode because she was being bullied in her hometown and decided to become a bully in Ponyville to avoid it happening again. Also, she’s Applejack and Apple Bloom’s cousin.

      I understand, I'm just not a fan of when narratives seem to use that as an excuse. It's, of course, totally fine to explore in depth character studies about what causes people to act in different ways, but very often I see this narrative thread of "it's not their fault, they have a tough home life". Which completely discounts the vast majority of people who also have tough home lives and don't use it as a reason to abuse other people in turn.
      Of course worth noting that in that case we're talking about literally small children, but I often see it in media with teenagers and I just get really iffy about that because it feels like a justification.

      @@MathewMcKenna Yeah, I understand that perfectly.
      Plenty of people without terrible home lives end up as shitty, and plenty who had poor pasts end up as kind and loving. Sometimes we end up as the antithesis of our pasts and other times we end up as a mirror to it - our psychology is weird that way.
      But something to also remember is that a justification is not the same as an excuse. Someone, a character or an actual person, can have a justification for their horrible actions without it excusing them. I, for example, was extremely volatile and cruel when I was younger due to being unable to control my emotions as a result of autism and having the example of my father, someone I looked up to at the time, be dealing with all issues with anger. I matured, became a better person, but it does not excuse how cruel I could be when I was a child (though I was, by no measure, a bully).
      No judgement for you reaction, of course. We’re all entitled to our opinions. I just have a habit of looking at the psychology behind actions because I study it as a hobby.

      @@MathewMcKenna What Falloutlover1011 said, of course, but also...
      Not all abused in their childhood grown up to be subjectively bad people, but all those who grew up in an objectively bad way with wrong morals or believes did so because of inadequate parental care, education process and growth environment. So it's hard to judge them for what they're doing when you know that it all could've been avoided if we just made normal institutes of education, parenting and child birth.
      Especially the latter. Don't give birth to a child if you don't know how to care for them. You may end up with a positive result, but don't take your chances, learn more about parenting first and plan out their growth process.
      Not aristocracy type of planning their growth, of course.

Babs decided to change on her own, which is nice. She more or less realized she was being bad, deserved punishment for her behavior, and decided to change.

"Hearts As Strong As Horses" "You'll Play Your Part" a beautiful ballad with Twilight, Celestia, Luna and Cadance. "Luna's Future" a dark song with a rather disturbing connotation to it. "Art Of The Dress" My personal favorite song of the whole show (Rarity has my favorite songs) make sure to listen to the reprise as well. "You're In My Head Like A Catchy Song" a beautiful love song.

    As a person who comes from a bad home life, it's really interesting to see how this show explores the experience of being bullied and being manipulated. I've noticed that Diamond tiara has a mom who makes her be a bad person for her image, which is upright exploitation of her daughters skills (because if I'm remembering correctly her talent is being able to form an effective community and be a good leader but her mom used that to her advantage to get what she wanted, so it makes sense to me as to why diamond tiara is so mean because it's really the only way she knows) and in that episode she manages to grow and move past bullying as well as standing up to her mom. I think for a better reference as to what she might be doing is Amity blight from the owl house, which is a show I recommend watching unironically lol.
    I think maybe at the beginning of the show she was being genuinely awful because she was a kid and didn't know any better, but I think further along she's really just masking because she's really scared of her mom, which I can totally understand. Regardless, I don't think she should be excused for her actions like a lot of it is in the show interpreted as, as much as I think it's better that the show actually had her victims forgive her and grant her another chance, which she actually tries and achieves growth and becomes a better person for it.
    I can't believe I just went into the abusive state of a my little pony character, send help, I'm in the dungeon

      Amity Blight does indeed kind of resemble Diamond Tiara, except she didn't disappear from the show when she started to become a better person. And I think the show is better for it as Amity does become one of the most compelling characters in the entire show.

      Their reasons for acting the way they did in the early show is pretty much the same, it is what their mothers expects of them. People who care more about their family status than anything and demands their kids to be successful at anything they do at any cost. And they both eventually stand up to their mothers and decides to be who they want to be instead of who their mother wants them to be

    And from the movie, I would especially recommend "Time to Be Awesome" and "Open Up Your Eyes"

    I forgot how catchy the 'A True True Friend' song was. The episode it's from was actually the season 3 finale, which was the point in the show where Twilight got her wings. In that way, it could have worked as a sort of series finale if, you know, there weren't 6 more seasons, lol. Not complaining, cause otherwise we wouldn't have gotten Starlight Glimmer (introduced in season 5) or Sunset Shimmer (introduced in Equestria Girls); or maybe they would have atleast had the Equstria Girls movies? Not sure

    If you think Lena Hall has a great voice, then you need to hear her sing in that episode's main song, after her character drops all the stage effects, background dancers, and just sings from the heart. It's easily one of the top 5 best songs in the entire series.

    I don't think you'll read this, but, for a bid of context, in the bad seed chapter: Babs is Apple blooms cousin, she came to ponyville because she was being bullied at home due to not having a cutie mark, and was trying to have a break from all that. At the very beginning she was kinda pushed one side to another by the cutie mark crusaders because they where excited to have someone like them in town. It was a bit overwhelming for Babs because she's really insecure for her lack of cutie mark while the crusaders aren't exactly the happiest about it but they talk pretty proudly about it because they worked through those insecurities back in season 1. During their introduction diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon came to pick up on the crusaders, and Babs saw it, she knew she would also be a target if she teamed up with the crusaders, so she chose to follow the bullies game and that way she wouldn't be targeted in ponyville as well. Which isn't good but one can understand where she's coming from, as she's trying to desperately to protect herself. It was specially hard for Apple bloom since Bab's was not only staying at their house but also sleeping in her room. During this time there was going to be a festival in town, and after all the bullying the crusaders decided they wanted vengeance on Bab's (which, fair, but where is that energy for Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon who's always been bullying them?) and sabotage there own carriage to fall in mud then tricked Bab's to get in the carriage. Once Bab's was in carriage Apple Jacked asked the girls asked the girls why Babs was driving it by herself, the girls said they wanted Bab's to have "an special moment for herself," so Apple Jack told them how happy she was they were getting along and proud for their actions and proceeded to explain that the reason Babs was there was due to the bullying in her hometown. The crusaders felt bad as they could feel identify about the whole "being bullied for a blank space" and got Babs out of the carriage falling on the mud themselves. They apologize for the prank, and Babs apologize to them for how she acted, so they decided to start again. Babs joined the cutie mark Crusaders, and her whole ark ended when as she was going back home Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon came to bully them again and Babs stand up for the crusaders. I don't think we see her again, but she's mentioned later on as Apple Bloom received a letter from her saying she got her cutie mark.
    For diamond Tiaras song, more than it being a: "Her house is bad, that's why she bullies" it was a "That's how she learned things are supposed to be." She was basically mimicking her parents behavior, that's why the song says: "No pony told me there was another way." In this chapter, for the first time, she questions the way she was taught to do things, that maybe her parents way is not the right way, and she realize that's not the kind of pony she wants to be. In the song she asks her self what does she needs to do to be the pony she wants to be, since the only way she's known till now it's her parents way, they've been her only role model to follow, she doesn't know what should even be her first step to change. Diamond works to better herself, and helps her classmates and makes amends. It's a bit rushed, but I think it was a good redemption arc.

    9:15 Remember, Rarity's mismanagement of the weather, shortages of products from Sweet Apple Acres and Applejack running the Carousel Boutique into the ground, the whole town would have been grumpy anyway. It's implied that this has been going on for years - look at the state of Sweet Apple Acres and Carousel Boutique. With so much misery, and Fluttershy being too self-concious to be effective as an e3ntertainer, it's no wonder everyone is miserable and treating each other miserably. By the time Pinkie is restored, though, all these other issues have been fixed AND they now have the time to feel better. That and Pinkie is indeed friends with the whole town, so if she was off ruining the farm, she wasn't helping cheer up ponies in town.
    Or I'm overthinking this.

    Babs Seed was being bullied by kids where she lived so while visting Applebloom and seeing them get bullied she ended up siding with the bullies to not get bullied herself.
    Also the reasoning they gave for Diamond Tiara (yes that's the tiara pony's name lol) being a bully was her mother was telling her how to act. (like "you're so much better than those blank flanks, you must not be seen with those low born ponies" type thing)
    That diamond song comes in an important episode that has like three songs in a row. "We'll Make our Mark" is the big one you should listen to next time. It's about the kids finally getting their cutie marks and leaning what their special talents are. I was a big moment built up from 2012 to 2015.

      I saw in the original lyrics of “pony i want to be” it implies tiara was possibly beaten… it says “what they may DO”

    You really should finish the rest of the series. There is so much growth after season 3 for every character, even characters you may despise

    I like your reactions because you do add commentary about the production and musical aspects I had no idea they were in those songs. Thank you for your reaction on MLP. Daniel Ingram makes incredible songs. If you do second take on FiM, I recommend Hearts strong as Horses, A Kirin Tale, A Better Way to be Bad or any from the Christmas, I mean Heartswarming Eve episode. There's also one that many people forget about and it is my favourite. It's Friend Are Always There For You. This song is just pure positivity and joy. It's a shame it doesn't get that much recognition.
    Also as a 22 year old Boomer (I don't use TikTok) I was surprised that people use the Razzle Dazzle song.

    Love hearing your thoughts on these!
    I've also heard in this video and I believe another mlp one you asking for them to go higher... I'd keep in mind that most of the main cast shares VAs, and that to keep each character voice recognizable, there's a limit to how high many can go (I'm thinking Rainbow and Applejack in particular, tho less so for Pinkie and Rarity). This isn't necessarily an issue for each individual character, but for group songs with harmonies, it does change what the song writers can do

    Twilight's crown thing is foreshadowing for her wings she gets later

    Two questions:
    1. Are you going to react to more of the official MLP songs from the show and movie?
    And 2.Will you be reacting to any of the fan-made MLP songs? There are ALOT of them, and they're pretty much all great.
    Discord (Living Tombstone)
    Snowdrop (ElectroKasplosion)
    Rainbow Factory (WoodenToaster)
    Between Fairytales and Happy endings (PrinceWhateverer)
    Carnival Cat vs Ponyville
    Loyalty (AcoustiMandoBrony)
    Sins of the Solar Empire (TeiThePony)
    The Black Insurrection (Arkane)
    Nightmare Night (WoodenToaster)
    Many many more

    7:00 - If I remember right, this was in an episode that should've been at least a two-parter given the sheer magnitude of importance it has for the ENTIRE series.

    You should definitely listen to "A better way to be bad", "A Kirin tale" and "Flawless" this show has LOTS of bangers, but these are my favourite!
