As a person with a disability who’s visually impaired, I’d like to thank you for talking so positively about people with disabilities. You treat us, as well as SnowDrop with respect, and I thank you for it. Great video, reaction, and commentary. 💙
You're welcome! For the record, I can't claim to perfectly practice what I preach, but at the very least, I think that if people would just take a moment to consider the value of other people's perspectives, we'd be a lot more understanding of each other, and the world would be a better place.
I feel so much for Luna when she says that Snowdrop was the only one who ever understood her night. I just want to tell her that I understand. I love the night. It feels so comforting. The dark is like a warm blanket, and it feels like someone is always looking out for you. I wish we had someone to make our nightmares happy, because even if you’re woken up by someone else because you’re whimpering in your sleep, you still remember what you were scared of months or years later, and the memory can be just as terrifying. I wish I had seen real snowflakes to draw on so I could wish away night terrors if I saw them in my dreams.
you know this is why i love this fandom so much because unlike any other fandom ive seen this fandom has a light side and a lot of animaters go to that side and we get pieces like this and remeberance and many others to see that a show that so many people frown apone people in this fandom can create things like this that move people and conect with so manny and ive herd of tales of people being pulled back from the edge of suicied by this fandom and how it can reach out and comfort others it is trully amazing and i hope it never ends
Oh, snowdrop, one of the most beloved fan-creations. And your reaction was priceless. I can totally relate with Snowdrop and the "more mature than the rest" thing to. You're definetly one of my favourite reactioners.
I don't know if you know this.... but i have a few things to say that might help you further understand about this and Lullaby for a Princess. Snowdrop is the common name of the Golanthus flower. So Snowdrop's name could also be Lady Golanthus. This video so moved Warp Out, that he put Snowdrop's cutie mark, framed, in Luna's bedchamber. You see it during the argument between her and Celestia. The flower that bent under the weight of the 'winter star' of snowdrop's was a Golanthus, aka: a Snowdrop flower. I suggest you look at the mark on the vase near the end of Snowdrop, and refer to the scene in Lullaby for a Princess. Luna said: 'She was the only one who truly knew my Night.' So, having Snowdrop's cutie mark in her bedchamber makes sense. And outliving her dear friend, was another straw on the camel's back, that eventually snapped, and we all know where that led to. Agree or not, your choice. Just my observations. the Frank Pony.
All very interesting observations. Obviously this is all fan head canon, but yes, I fully believe that there were MANY things that would have stacked up over a period of time to drive Luna into darkness. It didn't just happen overnight, pardon the expression. :)
not really LT. Snowdrop's mother would have known not only that she was blind, but that she was immune to the cold. Snowdrop felt the cold less intensely than others, and perhaps not really all that much at all. In later life, she would have appreciated Luna's cool nights, even though she would not have been able to see Luna's starry heavens. Being blind, day and night were all the same to Snowdrop as she grew up. The only real difference being that nights were cooler than the days. And in winter, the differences between day and night would not have mattered much to a little blind pony. Thus she could be 'up and about' when Luna was awake and active during her Nights. I may be reading a bit much into things, but, you do have to admit that it all does 'hang together' pretty well. enough from me, the Frank Pony
@@Darrenlinkon 13:40 Luna is hinting that she was trapped in the moon when Snowdrop died - so the timeline is 1. last time Snowdrop talked to Luna 2. Luna became Nightmare moon 3. Luna is sent to the moon 4. Snowdrop died 5. 1000 years later 6. Luna is freed, everyone she knew and loved except her sister is gone
Makes me cry everytime, seriously. This and "Lullaby For a Princess" are just... waayyy too powerful in emotions for me to not cry. So beautiful as well
Only just found this channel a few hours or so ago. Didn't take long in to your lost mark reaction for me to subscribe. Each day I get pickier and pickier with which commentators I watch so I was pleasantly surprised to find another one I like. Showing genuine emotion and sharing serious thoughts and not just wise-cracking your way through the episodes is something I enjoy (that sounds a little weird on reading it back but whatever). Hope you continue on as pony moves forward!
+lieilengi Thanks, glad you've enjoyed my videos! I know what you mean regarding being picky about commentators. There's only about three that I watch myself with any regularity, though I do tend to look for other ones when it comes to certain episodes, and ultimately end up disappointed in most of them when I don't see the reactions and/or commentary I was hoping for. That's one of the reasons I decided to try this out for myself, because I thought maybe I had something to offer in the commentary department. Interestingly, I actually find that I'm getting a lot more out of the episodes when doing these reactions than when I was just watching them privately, because I force myself to analyze them further. I'm still toying with the idea of going back and doing reactions to all the seasons, because having only recently joined the fandom, I've always binge-watched them on Netflix without fully analyzing them. Would be curious to know if anyone would be interested in watching those or not, since they wouldn't be blind reactions. Anyway, I've been sick this past week, but am on the road to recovery, so I hope to be putting up more content soon, hopefully over this coming weekend.
This one pulled at my heartstrings. I know how it feels to be bullied and told that I would never amount to anything. But I'm in the process of writing a book to be published. I thank the lessons from the tv shows I watched as a kids. My little pony was one of those shows. It is heart breaking sometimes but I'm still here because of these lessons.
I have been there, bullied because i'm different (i'm authistic) till they almost put me on fire. The only thought that kept me alive was that i didn't want to leave to let my parents feel guilty and to clean up the mess, anyway, good video again
MLP:FIM is amazing for representation. All kinds. The ponies with disability, for example, are shown as people first and their disability second, if mentioned at all. Scootaloo is probably the only cannon disabled character where her disability ( she cannot fly, even though her wings look fine) is a focus at any point, and it’s more of a focus bc bullying and finding a way to succeed with what you can do, as apposed to near killing yourself over what you cannot do. She can’t fly, but she can ride her scooter like no one else! Snowdrop covers an emotional depth the show didn’t (couldn’t? Wouldn’t?) cover, and we will forever be grateful!
Apple Geek your the best reactor in the Brony community because of how much thought you put in to your comity never stop doing reaction videos I have watched every video on your channel and every time you touch my heart you explain stuff beyond what I can comprehend see you next season premiere
Amazing reaction! And a great and deep analysis; I really enjoyed your video. I wasn’t a MLP fan until the last two weeks of November, up to this day; but I pretty much watched all the seasons this past weeks and a lot of fan animations and reactions. Pretty deep themes for a kid’s show and well… now I’m a fan. Now I don’t usually comment on videos, unless they seem important, meaningful or they make me feel something; and your video did the trick. Really good analysis, sincere reaction and it’s pretty cool when a video really moves something emotional in someone. Gotta say, this show and some of the fan work have really left a mark in me; who would’ve known? Plus deep and meaningful rants are pretty cool too; they can help other people without the knowledge of whoever’s doing the ranting… and that’s always a good thing. So amazing job Applegeek! Keep up the good work and thanks for your video! P.S. Don’t know if you’ve seen this vid (you probably have) but I’ll leave a link to it here; I quite enjoyed it. So good late night or really early day… depending how you see it :P hahaha. -LLXIII Link: ua-cam.com/video/dGLhLn8DPes/v-deo.html
+LaniusLegioXIII Hey, thanks, and welcome to the herd! I've only been in this a few months myself, but if I remember right (all kind of a blur now) I ended up binge-watching the entire series through the first half of season 5 three times almost back to back. I kept picking up more each time I watched it, and then I discovered reaction videos and got a whole new level of insight into the real depth and meaning of the show, not to mention the fan content. So yeah, I know exactly where you're coming from. I've enjoyed many other shows that have huge fandoms around them, but I never felt that connected to them to actually step into said fandoms. This show, and its fandom, are different, enough so that I ripped myself out of my comfort zone of anonymity and started this channel. Oh, btw, if you like finding emotional meaning in this show, please check out my Golden Oak LIbrary tribute video if you haven't yet, as that was quite a special project for me. So many things are done so quickly in this fandom, it's hard to come up with somewhat original content, but I never saw any real in-depth tributes to the library on UA-cam, so I set out to try to make my own, and am quite happy with the end result. Anyway, thanks again for the feedback. Oh, and I have not seen that video you linked to, so I'll add it to my list.
I am watching this at 4 or 5 in the morning... I woke up due to a nightmare and wanted to calm... yeah, that didn't work that well. Still love your reactions, you are amazing💜
No matter how many times I watch snowdrop I cry every time it's so sad and touching and I just feel bad for Luna because of how snowdrop couldn't live forever like the alicorns and how she died while she was banished and just all of it is so so sad.
I know what she went through because I’m going through the same thing right now because I have different disabilities and health problems and I hate that this is still happening!
13:40 Luna is hinting that she was trapped in the moon when Snowdrop died - so the timeline is 1. last time Snowdrop talked to Luna 2. Luna became Nightmare moon 3. Luna is sent to the moon 4. Snowdrop died 5. 1000 years later 6. Luna is freed, everyone she knew and loved except her sister is gone someone needs to make a movie about Luna right after she returns
*Warning* : Talking about triggering topics. (English aint my first language so sorry if my english is broken in some places). Ive been bullied for all of my 16 years at school (started baby school at 2yo). My first year of school i got neglected and hated by my teacher and class cus apparently i was terrified and just wanted to go home, as any baby would frickin do... but guess not since the teacher hated me. And so, i was forced to stay at the back of the class to play on my own and not allowed to do anything else. I think you can guess how well the other years went: from stealing stuff from me (phone, school supplies, food,..), push me down the stairs (i had a hole in my knee from that at 9 yo), bullying, punching, slapping, pushing into walls, humiliating me in class, pinning me on walls and the floor, strangling me, locking me in rooms, attempt to kill me (at around 13 yo),... And, I couldnt get some chill time away from the bullying cus my father was neglecting and abandonned me and my mother was physically, emotionally and verbally abusing me, preventing me from eating at night if i didnt do all of my homework perfectly or if i said something i shouldnt have or even slapping or punching me for things i dont remember.. I tried ending my life 6 different times (noose, starving, dehydration, hanging, drowning and sleepless). My childhood was.. cruel. I have a bingo card full of mental disorders, i have many physical disorders too and my life has been shit. Thank god i now have a place to call home, a partner and a cute cat to help me go through life very far away from all of these people.
25:20 Well, have you heard about cymatics? It's a quite less known branch of science about the connections between sounds and vibrations and geometric forms and physical shapes. I think it might be relevant here. A one-dimensional wave (e.g. on a guitar string) can form only certain shapes, with nodes (non-oscillating points) places at equal distances along the string, forming what's called "harmonics", and each harmonic produces sound of a certain pitch, that is, of a particular frequency. That's how it works on one dimension, quite boring. But as soon as you introduce more dimensions (or _degrees of freedom_), the shapes of these waves start to become more complex and interesting. E.g. on a circular drumhead there can appear only certain shapes, of circular symmetry, like pieces of a cake, or a spider's web, because vibrations can oscillate only either radially (along the spokes of the spider's web) or circularly along the circumferences. And again, each shape of the wave produces a different sound. The shapes become even more complex when you mix them together in different proportions. If the medium (e.g. the membrane) has some fancy shape on its own, the shapes of the waves which can form on it, and all the different sounds it can produce, become even more complex, contributing to a unique timbre of that particular object. Sometimes it is even possible to figure out the shape of an object by the sounds it produces. (But not always - it has been proved that some shapes are equivalent by the sounds they can produce, despite being different geometrically.) I had some experiences with that as well: Once I was driving my car and there was a metal plate kicking around on my cockpit, irritating me with its noises. So I grabbed it and threw it behind me. It was dark, so I haven't seen the shape of that plate. But when it hit something behind me and made a sound, for a moment I saw its shape flashing in my mind, a bit similarly to how it's been depicted in the "Daredevil" movie: as if some shiny sound wave went through it in a dark room, making its boundaries visible when passing through it. And I thought to myself: "That's a tritone... so the plate must be a square". .... ..... then I realized what just happened. I stopped my car, grabbed that metal plate again, and took a better look. And guess what: it _was_ a square! How did I know that? Well, after a bit of thought, I figured it out: Each line of symmetry can carry its own standing wave. If the plate was a rectangle, it would have three different axes of symmetry: width, height, and the diagonals (both of the same length, so I count them as one). Three different wavelengths = three different harmonics in the sound. But if the plate is a square, it has only two axes of symmetry: the side (width=height) and the diagonals (both of them equal). So only two harmonics in the sound. Not only that, but the ratio of these wavelengths would be 1 : √2. If you have two strings in this particular ratio, they make two sounds separated by an interval of a tritone, considered to be almost the most disharmonious combination of two sounds. That's why this sound was so irritating to me. And that particular musical interval (the tritone) was what hinted my brain at the ratio of the wavelengths, and the shape of the object which produced them. Quite neat, eh? ;) There are scientists who tried to "see the music" using this technique, by reflecting light off a surface of water enforced to vibrate by some music. Go figure. There are videos on UA-cam. And the more beautiful music, the more beautiful shapes of waves come out of the ripple tank; *pictures which are very similar to snowflakes*. Very complex, symmetric (or should I say *harmonious*? ;> ) and unique. This science is also responsible for the shapes of natural organisms, like plants, animals, their coat colours etc. and it is what makes them look so beautiful. (You can even connect it to Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of organizing space around you to make it more harmonious.) So I can imagine how Snowdrop could "see the stars through her ears" and replicate their shapes so well from how they sound to her. And why making snowflakes with these shapes could "harmonize the winter", making it more beautiful and pleasant ;)
+the MINING BROS You know, I've gotten several requests for that. Only problem is, I happened to come across it and watch it shortly before I started doing reactions. That said, I think I might do a post-watch reaction on it soon anyway, because it is intensely emotional, and worth commenting on.
adding to your comment about the words can hurt you, i actualy wrote poem about that a while back. um... here it is? Things can change on a dime, We have all heard the rhyme. The one with sticks and stones, That ended with broken bones, But their words can't hurt you. Don't you dare say, that a few words can't hurt me. That words hurt any less than stones. ‘Cause your stones might break bones, But it’s your words that pierce my skin. It’s words that lead to disaster, It’s words that lead to death. Bones can heal, But the same cannot be said, For those that thought, They could find peace only after, They lay dead. Those that survive are left with scars. Everything that you said, Every ill-intentioned statement, Remains in their minds. Every time you turned your back, To the cries of those, That needed help the most, Are unforgotten. Don't you dare say, That you're sorry. You don't have the right. Because of those that had knives, For tongues with a heart cold as ice, Many won’t be here for Christmas night. Because of bullies in the school. Because of the monsters, That lurks behind screens. Because of the people that just stood by, To watch them attack you. You feel as though you are being swallowed whole, by the jaws of despair. With no one by your side. Don't you dare say, that everything will be alright. Not when the sharks are circling, mouths open wide. Waiting for you to make a mistake, Just so they can tear you apart.

Hey Applegeek, if you didn't already know this, but the flower at the end is called "Snowdrop"
funfact.where I come from it's called "Schneeglöckchen" which would translate to the word "Snowbelle" in english.
I feel so much for Luna when she says that Snowdrop was the only one who ever understood her night. I just want to tell her that I understand. I love the night. It feels so comforting. The dark is like a warm blanket, and it feels like someone is always looking out for you.

Youre right I almost attempted a suicide But tnx to mlp I've found a peace zone in my life so that depression won't touch me again.Thank you mlp.
We still going strong Boiz MLP will have a special place in our hearts
no matter how many times i watch this, every for being a guy, i cry everytime because of the feels.

Yes! ☹️
Cheezy - Extravaganza same.
Perhaps, but she can still feel it and hear her beauty twinkling as it fell gently through the air.

Words hurt. Here, here!! sigh... story of my life, and many others'.
It left me in tears!!!
11:55 Luna likes this filly; she understands her.
plz reacte to "The Returne of Snowdrop" act 1 and 2
There is a part 2?
Snowflow Wolf no, the return of snowdrop is made by someone else and it’s completely different in the plot
@@ttiffany I only realized this 1 yr after I made this comment
I know what she went through because I’m going through the same thing right now because I have different disabilities and health problems and I hate that this is still happening!
So pretty!
I am crying so hard gggooooodddd
13:40 Luna is hinting that she was trapped in the moon when Snowdrop died - so the timeline is
1. last time Snowdrop talked to Luna
2. Luna became Nightmare moon
3. Luna is sent to the moon
4. Snowdrop died
5. 1000 years later
6. Luna is freed, everyone she knew and loved except her sister is gone
someone needs to make a movie about Luna right after she returns
Blind reaction...
Tantabus ohhhhhhhhhh
You brat
I... I... am not crying........
*Warning* : Talking about triggering topics. (English aint my first language so sorry if my english is broken in some places).
Ive been bullied for all of my 16 years at school (started baby school at 2yo). My first year of school i got neglected and hated by my teacher and class cus apparently i was terrified and just wanted to go home, as any baby would frickin do... but guess not since the teacher hated me. And so, i was forced to stay at the back of the class to play on my own and not allowed to do anything else. I think you can guess how well the other years went: from stealing stuff from me (phone, school supplies, food,..), push me down the stairs (i had a hole in my knee from that at 9 yo), bullying, punching, slapping, pushing into walls, humiliating me in class, pinning me on walls and the floor, strangling me, locking me in rooms, attempt to kill me (at around 13 yo),...
And, I couldnt get some chill time away from the bullying cus my father was neglecting and abandonned me and my mother was physically, emotionally and verbally abusing me, preventing me from eating at night if i didnt do all of my homework perfectly or if i said something i shouldnt have or even slapping or punching me for things i dont remember.. I tried ending my life 6 different times (noose, starving, dehydration, hanging, drowning and sleepless).
My childhood was.. cruel. I have a bingo card full of mental disorders, i have many physical disorders too and my life has been shit. Thank god i now have a place to call home, a partner and a cute cat to help me go through life very far away from all of these people.
Sad to hear that just to let you know that life is bad but don't end it Instead live it to the fullest
THERE WAS SURPRISE ON THE START!! (old gen.)
Show's opinion is adorable!!!
I returned and became a princess
Godammit it's 2018 and I'm still crying
I'm getting goose bumps
This was so sad I can't stop crying
T_T i actually cry each time
I wish that winter is like in real life...
I wish...
there is a fanfic reading for a squeal for this animation. hav to look it back up, but that will make u cry just as hard
"a snowy night" read by Dr Cobra
I feel you brother, I feel you.
that made me so sad thanks for watching it
When i watch this video i really cryed
I cry everytime
When I see the video it really makes me cry ;^;
for some reason in stead of crying my eyes dried up
its so beautafull and cute but the end was kinda sad
There is a theory that snowdrops death was the straw that broke luna in her fight against the nightmare.
Ok how long did it take a person to realize that Snowdrop is a pegasus that can't see
I almost cryed
Always so sad, even I keep watching is still sad.
I was ready to hop on aboard the feel train
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never stop me
rip snowdrop
I am crying
I cry everytime😂
Where u get that shirt AJ
Almost cried while eating stick-o
hmmm i alsow was told really early on that i think like a grownup but have the heart as a child.....
*cries*
I loved this so much but it is so sad
And Luna and snowdrop are friends and snowdrop maybe died (princesses can't die) this is so sad😢
did you notice a derpy eyed pegasus also those ponys were jerks to the best blind pony ever
i cried threw out the whole thing
Good ass reaction
What would you rather be earth pony, unicorn or Pegasus
Am I the only person who didn't cry watching this?
have you seen any of the friendship is witchcraft episodes?
Snowdrop is definitely the Toph Beifong of MLP.
25:20 Well, have you heard about cymatics? It's a quite less known branch of science about the connections between sounds and vibrations and geometric forms and physical shapes. I think it might be relevant here. A one-dimensional wave (e.g. on a guitar string) can form only certain shapes, with nodes (non-oscillating points) places at equal distances along the string, forming what's called "harmonics", and each harmonic produces sound of a certain pitch, that is, of a particular frequency. That's how it works on one dimension, quite boring. But as soon as you introduce more dimensions (or _degrees of freedom_), the shapes of these waves start to become more complex and interesting. E.g. on a circular drumhead there can appear only certain shapes, of circular symmetry, like pieces of a cake, or a spider's web, because vibrations can oscillate only either radially (along the spokes of the spider's web) or circularly along the circumferences. And again, each shape of the wave produces a different sound. The shapes become even more complex when you mix them together in different proportions. If the medium (e.g. the membrane) has some fancy shape on its own, the shapes of the waves which can form on it, and all the different sounds it can produce, become even more complex, contributing to a unique timbre of that particular object.
Sometimes it is even possible to figure out the shape of an object by the sounds it produces. (But not always - it has been proved that some shapes are equivalent by the sounds they can produce, despite being different geometrically.) I had some experiences with that as well: Once I was driving my car and there was a metal plate kicking around on my cockpit, irritating me with its noises. So I grabbed it and threw it behind me. It was dark, so I haven't seen the shape of that plate. But when it hit something behind me and made a sound, for a moment I saw its shape flashing in my mind, a bit similarly to how it's been depicted in the "Daredevil" movie: as if some shiny sound wave went through it in a dark room, making its boundaries visible when passing through it. And I thought to myself: "That's a tritone... so the plate must be a square". .... ..... then I realized what just happened. I stopped my car, grabbed that metal plate again, and took a better look. And guess what: it _was_ a square! How did I know that? Well, after a bit of thought, I figured it out: Each line of symmetry can carry its own standing wave. If the plate was a rectangle, it would have three different axes of symmetry: width, height, and the diagonals (both of the same length, so I count them as one). Three different wavelengths = three different harmonics in the sound. But if the plate is a square, it has only two axes of symmetry: the side (width=height) and the diagonals (both of them equal). So only two harmonics in the sound. Not only that, but the ratio of these wavelengths would be 1 : √2. If you have two strings in this particular ratio, they make two sounds separated by an interval of a tritone, considered to be almost the most disharmonious combination of two sounds. That's why this sound was so irritating to me. And that particular musical interval (the tritone) was what hinted my brain at the ratio of the wavelengths, and the shape of the object which produced them. Quite neat, eh? ;)
There are scientists who tried to "see the music" using this technique, by reflecting light off a surface of water enforced to vibrate by some music. Go figure. There are videos on UA-cam. And the more beautiful music, the more beautiful shapes of waves come out of the ripple tank; *pictures which are very similar to snowflakes*. Very complex, symmetric (or should I say *harmonious*? ;> ) and unique. This science is also responsible for the shapes of natural organisms, like plants, animals, their coat colours etc. and it is what makes them look so beautiful. (You can even connect it to Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese art of organizing space around you to make it more harmonious.) So I can imagine how Snowdrop could "see the stars through her ears" and replicate their shapes so well from how they sound to her. And why making snowflakes with these shapes could "harmonize the winter", making it more beautiful and pleasant ;)
Well...that was an interesting read. ^_^
What?!
When he started watching it, he said stardrop instead of snowdrop
da feelz
wow. don't I know what it's like to be snowdrop.
If you could check out this video called rememberance that would be great.
+the MINING BROS You know, I've gotten several requests for that. Only problem is, I happened to come across it and watch it shortly before I started doing reactions. That said, I think I might do a post-watch reaction on it soon anyway, because it is intensely emotional, and worth commenting on.
Aaaaw.🙁
there is a snowdrop returns 1 and 2 now Everyone like so he sees
poor little snowy, shes blind :(
Ever other foal is just another version of Diamond Tiara
I am cry
adding to your comment about the words can hurt you, i actualy wrote poem about that a while back. um... here it is?
Things can change on a dime,
We have all heard the rhyme.
The one with sticks and stones,
That ended with broken bones,
But their words can't hurt you.
Don't you dare say,
that a few words can't hurt me.
That words hurt any less than stones.
‘Cause your stones might break bones,
But it’s your words that pierce my skin.
It’s words that lead to disaster,
It’s words that lead to death.
Bones can heal,
But the same cannot be said,
For those that thought,
They could find peace only after,
They lay dead.
Those that survive are left with scars.
Everything that you said,
Every ill-intentioned statement,
Remains in their minds.
Every time you turned your back,
To the cries of those,
That needed help the most,
Are unforgotten.
Don't you dare say,
That you're sorry.
You don't have the right.
Because of those that had knives,
For tongues with a heart cold as ice,
Many won’t be here for Christmas night.
Because of bullies in the school.
Because of the monsters,
That lurks behind screens.
Because of the people that just stood by,
To watch them attack you.
You feel as though you are being swallowed whole,
by the jaws of despair.
With no one by your side.
Don't you dare say,
that everything will be alright.
Not when the sharks are circling,
mouths open wide.
Waiting for you to make a mistake,
Just so they can tear you apart.
DA Wizad
Creative, do you like to write poems?
1:53 old pinkie with the safety pin guy?!
It broke me
Wait how did snow drop die?? Or where did she go
