Has any of the episodes put a knot in your throat, made you teary-eyed, or actually made you cry? If so, which ones?

There's a few episodes that have made me teary-eyed:

• Family Appreciation Day: After Granny Smith finishes her story and Applebloom realizes she's a badass granny.
• May The Best Pet Win!: When Rainbow Dash exclaims that the rule was the winner of the pet race had to cross the line WITH her.
• Sonic Rainboom: When Rainbow Dash saves Rarity and the Wonderbolts and creates a Sonic Rainboom (I watched this scene again today and it still has the same effect)
  

Those are the ones I can remember, what about you bronies?

There's a similar thread about shows that have made you cry, but it wasn't pony centric, so if you want to share those you can do it here: link.

Twilight's heart breaking and renewal in Return of Harmony part 2.

End of the Granny Smith story from sheer amazement at how beautiful a story it was.

Post: #3

Had a tear in my eye on my first watch of "A Bird in a Hoof" when Philomena burnt into ash.

Post: #4

Return of Harmony Part 2. Seeing Twilight's spirit finally break made me so sad.

Also, Sisterhooves Social, when they showed Sweetie Belle's drawing. Such a touching moment!

Secret of My Excess. The part where Spike is about to tell Rarity he has a crush on her.

Both common intepretations of that scene (1: Rarity also likes Spike, and 2: Rarity is aware of Spike's crush, but doesn't share his feelings, the tears being the result of her knowledge that Spike's feelings will reman unrequited) make me a bit teary-eyed.

Good one, and in that same episode when Sweetie Belle realizes it's been Rarity the entire race was also pretty sentimental.

Post: #7

I am generally immovable, but the scene in Sisterhooves Social when Rarity finds Sweetie Belle's drawing almost made me have to actually try in order not to cry.

Manly tears were shed.

In answer to your question, know (no).

Please. PLEASE! No one else say this now that it's already been said once in this thread.

Quote:Manly tears were shed

The saddest thing of this fandom I've seen is this PMV featuring the song Cosmic Love. Though the lyrics are metaphorical in the song, applied to Luna and her decent into madness, they can be taken quite literally.

Pretty much the first half of the first season. When Twilight began to trust her new friends, and pretty much all of the friendship reports.

I only got teary-eyes because I wished I could relate.

Post: #11

can't say it has.

Post: #12

No, but that's not to say that the show hasn't had any amazing scenes capable of touching the heart and causing amazement.

In fact, there's an abundance of those...plenty of which are already mentioned as I post this.

Post: #13

Sonic Rainboom didn't make me cry, but I did kind of have to switch into man-mode to avoid tearing up. If that counts.

Post: #14

Like most everyone here, Return of Friendship Pt II made me teary eyed, but not when Twilight's spirit was broken. It was when she opened all those letters to Celestia, re-reading all she had learned about friendship. That's where I lost it.

That scene bummed me out hard. I definitely would've kicked Discord's head in if given the opportunity.

Post: #16

Not really, no.

Post: #17

Yeah like everyone else when Twilight gave up on friendship.

But that made it EPIC when she knew what she had to do!!

Post: #18

I must admit I was thrilled almost to tears when RD pulled the Sonic Rainboom, that was the closest I've been.

Post: #19

Fanfic reading for it. Particularly My Little Dashie. I just realized today how cold-hearted I am... and why I write.

Post: #20

Of course not. I would never feel any emotions towards a cartoon show about magical miniature horses.

Post: #21

Nope. the only times i've ever cried at TV shows or movies is when someone dies

and i don't think thats going to happen on this show anytime soon

I cried when Sweetie Bell's drawing for Rarity was shown in Sisterhooves Scocial. I got choked up when Granny Smith finished her story and Diamond Tiara talked about how Granny Smith was a kooky old lady, then Applebloom stood up for her. I wish my family was like this.

That maintained true for me...until a week ago, when I finished Stargate Universe.

Post: #24

ive teared up at a few of them, but i remember that there was at least 3

1- when they showed sweetie belle's picture.
2- when fluttershy cried over philomena
3- when twilight read all the friendship reports in the one with discord.

yes these have all been mentioned, but they were just so sad

Post: #25

Got SUPER sad at 'Hearths Warming Eve' near the end of the play with the Windigo stuff.

Only thing that comes close to that in sadness is the end of Terminator 2

Post: #26

No, but some episodes have given me that warm, fuzzy feeling.

They have an episode about Alcohol...

I wouldn't be surprised if it happens at SOME point.

Post: #28

-When Pinkie thinks that her friends dislike her parties and her hair deflates.
-When Twilight turns gray after her Discord-ed friends ruin her spirit.
-When Fluttershy cries over the ashes of Philomena.
-The bit with the Windigoes and the ice starts overcoming Twilight, Fluttershy and Applejack in the Hearths Warming Eve play.

Post: #29

Yes, many scenes throughout the show have made me go awwwww but the one where I almost cried was when Twilight tells Spike that he will always be her number one assistant and could never be replaced

Post: #30

In the new episode (Baby Cakes) at the end!! It was an awesome ending!

Post: #32

Whilst the show itself has never made me cry, upset or teary eyed, I must admit a certain fanfic made me close to tears. Bittersweet is one of the saddest things I've read even if the plot is nonsense.

Post: #33

It's never made me teary eyed.

Nothing ever does, though, so I guess there's nothing wrong with that.

i think you guys are getting it confused

they're talking about the non-alcoholic kind

nothing stopping them from making a reference or two, though, i guess

You mean a kid friendly show won't be showing marshmallow ponies getting wasted out of their minds?!


Oh wait.. that sounds.. right..

They should use hidden jokes at least.

I think Rarity already knew. Reason being that she'd have to be a dumbshit to have not noticed, and Rarity isn't a dumbshit. I think she was teary-eyed mostly because she thought it was sweet rather than because she had any feelings for Spike. Remember, spike is maybe nine or ten at the oldest, and Rarity is... well... not. It's a classic case of a little boy having a crush on a grown woman. It would be weird if she returned any of his affections in that way. I think she just stopped him because she was sort of letting him know that she knew, and he didn't have to embarrass himself right before they both were probably about to die.

That moment did get me a little.

As for other moments that have made me tear up?

Definitely Twilight Rereading her old letters in "Return of Harmony." I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you told me there was only one moment in this show I could save for posterity, that would be the one.

I also get a little choked up at how terrified the mane 6 are of Twilight being sent back to Canterlot in "Lesson Zero."

I guess there are a lot of moments, really. Kind of silly to get choked up over "My Little Pony," I guess, but why not?

Ah, who am I kiddin'? When I'm watching a show or a movie or play, I'm a junkie for emotion. I let everything get to me just for the joy of feeling.

I'll be quite honest, this upset me more than any other scene in MLP so far.

Same with me. I really wish I could cry at certain points in shows/movies, but unless I grow really close to a character that dies in a really sad way or leading up to their death (like in death note where they almost completely changed the atmosphere for a certain person) .

Post: #47

i haven't been teary eyed from an episode yet but i have, and i will admit this, cried at a few fan fics on here.

Claro de Luna and Past Sins (when Nyx gets taken away almost had to stop reading cuz i could barely read past the tears)

No joke, that was the same video that made me become a brony. I was all " this show looks very interesting,but that chick with the butterfly wings(rarity) wings looks like an overly glamorous bitch" but Somepony went through enough effort to make that
video ( Not much because it took me 5 seconds to make a Guille's theme video) so I thought I might check it out, look at me now.

Agreed with all of these.

Post: #50

I can't re-call any incidents really when that happened to me. The only thing that made me shred manly tears was when I got to the ending of Cup- Let's not start a wave of references again >_>


And I felt very sad when Rainbow Dash got herself stuck at that rock and tortoise saved her.
