[@Nightfire613]

I'm not saying I ship Cat-Bird-Fish-Horse, but I'm not NOT saying that. Seriously though, Gallus and Silverstream are adorable.

[@SwordTune]

Smolder and Ocellus are close friends too. Nice pairing all around.

[@jazz_with_roses]

@@SwordTune I think @Nightfire-613 meant they looked cute together...

[@SwordTune]

@@jazz_with_roses Same as mine.

[@Slippery_Fire]

I ship them

[@SwordTune]

@@Slippery_Fire Ah yes, but the real question is when did you ship them? Nowadays people are obsessed with being first, so the true shippers are the ones who shipped the the moment they showed up.

[@tvftw1]

Gallus is a cat-bird, Silverstream is a horse-bird, so their kids have a genetic possibility of just being birds

[@blueshard4632]

So, Thats what the pirates from the movie were lol.

or cat-fishies.

[@proclarushtaonasat]

The pirates could be harpies, just without the human parts, like how Minotaurs and sphinxes lack human stuff too.

[@thehoodlen]

proclarushtaonasat also centaurs like tirek lack human parts also

[@proclarushtaonasat]

yep, although he could pass as a lynel from legend of zelda breath of the wild. He can shoot fire from his face, now he only needs electro arrows

[@JaneGirlGamer]

So Basically: Silverstream is afraid of The Storm King due to PTSD Gallus is Claustrophobic Yona is Arachnophobic Smolder is afraid of embracing cute things and femininity Ocellus is afraid of the Changeling past and Sandbar is afraid of being a third wheel DAMN, that is creativity for the writers right there.

[@sarabailey955]

acatually in think sandbar is afraid of letting people down like me.........

[@twilightcoralarlert4788]

You don't know that Griffons' name has only "G" in the start in their name like: Gilda Gabby Gallus(mah bro) But kinda mine is not "G" I'm only "R"

Smolder: “No! On so many levels, no!” That’s my favorite line of the episode. It was very enjoyable to see her being cute and adorable too.😊

[@MrGabeanator]

SpacialRend7 love it

[@booklover4330]

Definitely agree with you! My favorite line, just how real it is. I laugh every single time I hear t.

[@solarheclipse6346]

My favorite line is, "May I have some tea please" I was like Oh my god that voice is so cute I can't believe it came out the tough dragon female like smolder. If I was in ponyvill I would be dressing smolder up and serving her tea just the hear that voice again.

[@nessesaryschoolthing]

The number of allusions to the first episode in this cannot be a coincidence. 1. Ocellus's moment of "I'm hideous!" reminiscent of Steven Magnet's encounter with Rarity 2. Silver Stream vs "the storm king" is similar to them scary looking trees at which Pinkie sang "Giggle at the Ghostlies" 3. Sandbar's parallel to Rainbow Dash's loyalty test, clearly 4. Yona's parallel to Fluttershy, as noted 5. Gallus' test meant he had to trust what "Twilight" (Tree of Harmony) said and accept that it is a test and there is a way out, just like Twilight had to trust Applejack when she said it was safe to let go. 6. Smolder had to face being cute and "silly" having a tea party with those girls just like Twilight was afraid to go to parties and spend time in "ridiculous friend making It's like the tree noted what made the Mane Six such good friends and recreated it to prove that the Young Six are just as capable of friendship.

Two ships that feel the most natural to me is Sandbar and Ocellus, and now Gallus and Silverstream. So far, their personalities and actions with each other work really well.

"Yeah, the friendship helped us overcome our fears!" Gallus learned how to escape the cave by himself. Smolder embraced her inner cutie by herself. Yona learned how to talk to spiders by herself. ...am I missing something?

The Silver Stream's challange was great, it really added huge depth to her character, I kinda figured that this was the case before but it's great to see it happen

[@Schornforce]

If there really will be a series-ending war finale, I hope Yona's spider pals come back into play!

[@booklover4330]

Sees thumbnail: Thumbnail approved! In all seriousness this is one of my favorite episodes this season; the lore/confirmation for the Tree of Harmony is huge! Plus I really liked/loved the student sixes little tests that they had to go through. Extra Plus the little Cutie Pie of Terror Cozy Glow. (She wasn't in a lot of episodes after her debut but the episodes she was in were definitely interesting). I haven't seen the finale yet, though I know it's been out for people but still obviously something not quite right with her. Though I will admit the pacing is off; kind of reminds me of the pacing from The Mean Six episode, it's not bad pacing by any means; it's just of because of them handling so many characters at once.

[@PotterBrony82]

after this episode my working theory is Cozy works for Neighsay. what she was saying to them at the beginning sounded awfully racist. also, 12:55 can we panic now?

[@NOX-SHADOW]

What are you saying!? Like have them both do you know you want to see it?

[@rebeccaw939]

Loved the reaction! I was so exited when I saw this one was out! I’ve been thinking over the possibility of Cozy being Chrysalis in my head and I just realized Cozy showed up before Chrysalis. Chrysalis said she was able to learn that the elements were in Everfree. I’m wondering if maybe she decided to get as close as possible to the enemy while maintaining her cover so she could discover their location. That way there wouldn’t be a surprisingly quick return of Chrysalis, but Chrysalis being present since she appeared as Cozy. When her plan in episode 13 failed, she could have gone back to being Cozy to regroup and make a new plan (or she could have already had a plan B). Just a thought though. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see :P ;) :D

[@thechatteringclown]

nope makes zero sense. there's a lot i can say to proof cozy and chryssi ain't the same person, but the biggest clue this season was that chryssi needs to disguise herself as that photographer in order to get close enough to the mane six to get those hair samples. if she was cozy, she would have had more than enough opportunities to get those without having to resort to something like that. it just doesn't make sense.

[@znfnoceda2691]

Rewatching this gave me insight into the trees ways. It doesn’t care about right or wrong, only self preservation of its actual physical self, or its reputation. the tree didn’t help with tirek until they opened the chest, but the tree could’ve stopped him whenever. It didn’t stop Cozy Chode in the finale until she questioned its power. It melted the faces of Chryssi’s living tulpas, but only because they threatened itself. It even cares about it’s reputation more than its life! In season 9, Sombra annihilated the tree, and it didn’t save itself, it brought him back just to flex on every pony! When the student 6 started bad mouthing it in this very episode, it tortured them in underground catacombs which it tailored to their worst fears! And what was it’s excuse? BULLSHIT! if Spike had been there, he’d have called the tree out. He’s spent his life with twilight, and the past 8 years with all her crazy friends, plus his own dragon and changling friends. His bullshit detector is more finely honed than DWK’s ability to talk himself into a 12th bottle of vodka.

Acording to Uprooted, Sandbar panicks in big descisons, so I think the idea was he had to choose between loyalty to his “teachers” or Loyalty to his friends. I think I could have phrased that better. Smolder apears that it’s more about being embarrassed than being cute that makes her anxious. the others fears I think are more straightforward and had less people saying”What is this fear?!”
