I SQUEE'D EVERYWHERE ITS A REAL MESS IN MY HOUSE RIGHT ABOUT NOW
VastaKustutaYou joined EQD?! Awesome! And for the first post it was cool. Kinda sad I can't give you five stars though
VastaKustutaYOU'RE HIRED AGAIN.
VastaKustutaNow I can yay!
VastaKustutaThis episode totally crushed the fanfics! hurray!
VastaKustutaAw Yeaaah, more blog ponies
VastaKustutaYou did fine, don't worry about it.
VastaKustutaGood luck with the new title Stream Coordinator.
Stop acting like a schoolgirl which puts his own random opinion in everything, we have enough Pinkie Pies. That's all.
VastaKustutaI approve of this new addition to the team.
VastaKustutaAnd lol@Cereal
CANT WAIT LOAD FASTER DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!
VastaKustutaHi XyroTR1!
VastaKustutayou'll do fine, just don't useless-post-storm us like someone else did.(even if she was awesome at doing it)
VastaKustutaWelcome aboard.
VastaKustutaYay! XyroTr1! You have just joined the greatest website for pony material! How does it feel?
VastaKustutaStream coordinator sounds right. Congrats XyroTR1!
VastaKustutaJust make sure you don't cross the streams.
VastaKustutaI demand satisfaction...
VastaKustutaI demand that all spare CPU cycles on the internet be dedicated to the YouTube conversion so that I can watch.
They have SETI@home and other distributed computing platforms. I say someone creates Pony@Home... I have an old Mac G4 to dedicate to the cause.
did great, love the image! :)
VastaKustutaYou did great.
VastaKustutaFirst new episode and then this?!
VastaKustutaI thought Christmas was NEXT week! ^^
XyroTR1!!!!! Awesome!
VastaKustutaCereal, I heard there was some good Rarity pics on that one web site...you should go scope them out
VastaKustuta...
Quick XyroTR1, ask seth to hire you again while Cereal is Distracted!
Welcome aboard Xyro! I've watched a few of your quality MLP:FIM uploads. I'm suire you'll do fine here as well.
VastaKustuta@RinellaWasHere
VastaKustutaDoh ho ho!
I must say I'm jelly. I want an invitation to the EqD team. D:
Also, gimme my 1080!
@Rohit Eligeti
VastaKustutaI keep seeing comments like this from you. What do you have against fan fiction?
WELCOME TO EQD!
VastaKustuta@RinellaWasHere
VastaKustutaWe have a winner!
All hail the Stream Coordinator! A well deserved title for Xyro
VastaKustutaWell done XyroTR1, so glad you're joining Equestria Daily! This is just going to be all kinda of epic. ><
VastaKustutaWARPSHIELD STABILIZED
VastaKustutaer
wrong game.
Welcome Xyro!
You did excellent.
VastaKustuta...
Now, take over the site.
*sigh* This sucks I hafta wait for the YouTube links >:/
VastaKustutaHAI XYRO.
VastaKustutaAnd of course, I shall be uploading the song when you're done uploading the episode.
"Posted by XyroTR1"
VastaKustuta^
How'd you do? Not bad.
Of course, I imagine that If you plan on being a mod on the site for a long time, You'll need to choose a best pony:
Seth -> Trixie
Cereal -> Rarity
Phoe -> Lyra
Tek and PK didn't have a best pony: have you seen them around recently? Of course not; Having a best pony = success.
XD lol, I kid. It is quite a strange correlation though.
@Rohit Eligeti
VastaKustutaI'm actually kind of glad that my own Ancient Equestria fanfic took a hit from this episode. I love new canon, and incorporating it will be fun.
That said, 'Swordpony' came out miraculously unscathed, at least for the most part.
Heh Heh.
VastaKustutaEvery time I hear someone say 'You're Fired'
or read it somewhere, I can't help but remember Tuck and Roll from 'A Bug's Life'
YOU FIRED!
YOU FIRED!
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for posting the source of the image. I *really* wish everyone else did that too.
VastaKustutaYOu need to take an arrow to the knee.
VastaKustutaYay Xyro! Where would I be without thee.
VastaKustutaI can't express myself properly so I'll just let Fluttershy do it for me:
You rock, woohoo~
What? Two weeks without an episode?! This is horrible! Terrible! Of all the worst things that could happen, this is THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!!! *summons a fancy-shmancy couch and wallows on it*
VastaKustutaELLO ELLO DEAR STREAM COORDINATOR!
VastaKustuta..... Maybe you should've helped Rarity over the stream... AH-PFFF!
Anyyywaaay!
....I am gonna have to make a Gingerbread house ASAP!!!
YOU'RE DOUBLE HIRED.
VastaKustuta(Can anypony even DO that?!)
Coordinating them streams LIKE A BAWS!
VastaKustutaNo but really, you did great. And your streams are always the best - no lag, great quality... My crappy computer even runs them flawlessly, and that's a feat right there! What would we do without you? (Watch terrible, laggy streams, that's what!)
Thanks for your hard work!
Welcome aboard Xyro :D
VastaKustutaAs long as you don't go mad with power as Phoe I think you'll be allright...
VastaKustuta...
I miss Phoe. :l
YAY XYRO!
VastaKustutaWelcome to the team!
HI Xyro! Welcome to EQD! Stream coordinator, eh? just remember... DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS! Oh and as Mike said, you need to pick a best pony ( Fluttershy FTW) and maybe even a favorite ship if you're in to that! (flutterMac for me, they just work so well together!)
VastaKustuta@gato
VastaKustutaI miss Phoe too. :(
@Mike
VastaKustutaOh, that's easy. ;)
Thanks for the quick high quality videos!
VastaKustuta@Mike
VastaKustutaOWAIT xyro? The person who was doing the 1080p stream stuff? Oh wow; this really IS awesome.
I wish I had skills useful to the EqD team, but no one makes games w/ C or machine code these days, mad lego skillz don't count, and I don't even have time to work on that 1/4 of a fanfic I started last year :(
AWESOME MAN!
VastaKustutaRock the world of the tube with your awesomeness :D
Thanks a lot Xyro. :)
VastaKustutaGlad to see you on-board!
Thanks Xyro keep up the awesome posts!!
VastaKustuta1080p, and Spitfire as the best pony. This guy has it all :D
VastaKustutaBy the way, FkNSpitfire here :D
1080...1080...1080! PLEASE! I'm BEGGING!:P
VastaKustutaWelcome to the team Xyro :D enjoy as many cookies as you like for this awesome bountiful episode post.
VastaKustuta@Salzvatik12
VastaKustuta"Can... can you do that? Can you be hired twice?"
@Sethisto
VastaKustutaDammit stop tempting me to replay through SC1 for the 2000th time!

You...run your own streams, Xyro? o_O
The more I know...
@XyroTR1
VastaKustutaXD
Well played Xyro, Well Played. Looks like you're here to stay, since you could hypnotize Seth with the REA pics if you somehow end up on his bad side. lol
Good to see you on board Xyro !
VastaKustutaThis will speed up "communication" a lot so we can enjoy the episode much faster !
Hey Xyro, congratulations on your first post!
VastaKustutaIt was nicely done.
Awesome, welcome aboard Xyro!
VastaKustutaAlso thanks for uploading HD ponies so quickly every saturday, you rock.
Whatever happened to PK anyway?
So i decided to try the 480. it hurt me to much to watch anymore. so I will wait here patiently refreshing the page, until 1080 is ready for me!
VastaKustutaGreat job Xyro! :D
Hai Xyro, I'd give ye a muffin, but youre probably couple thousand miles away.
VastaKustutaYe did alright:3
Sooooooong.
VastaKustutawww.youtube.com/watch?v=EbISs8f1fok
What's the name of this episode's song anyway? Daniel Ingram hasn't posted anything about it yet. D;
Good news is my fic is saved
VastaKustutaI'm voting either 'Fire of Friendship' or 'Circle of Friends.' Either way, it sounds like the Equestrian National Anthem.
VastaKustutaClever Clover was a G2 pony! Well played, well played...
VastaKustutagood episode and good song
VastaKustutai like it
Welcome, Xyro! Thanks for the links!
VastaKustuta@el_draconoquis
VastaKustutahmmm...
very good profile Pict you got their
I have one thing to ask of the new stream coordinator.
VastaKustutaXYRO, DON'T CROSS THE STREAMS!!!
You're awesome, Xyro!
VastaKustutaYou here that? That is the sound of hundreds of fanfics burning in the fires of canon.
VastaKustuta:(
THE. MOST. AWESOME. EPIC. EPISODE!!!
VastaKustutaSnowponies have brooms in their butts.
VastaKustutaI am now disturbed...
Welcome Xyro! You did just fine!
VastaKustutaYAY! Welcome to EqD, Stream Coordinator Xyro! :)
VastaKustutaWhere did Phoe go anyway?
VastaKustuta@PistolePlex
VastaKustutaWell, by 'streams,' I really meant streams in the sense that these Youtube videos are being called streams. He's always got the best 1080p, every week, without fail.
I don't know if he runs an actual Hub stream during episodes airing.
You did pretty well.
VastaKustutaThose money you've spent worth the shot, Xyro!
VastaKustutaHi XyroTR1!
VastaKustutaAwesome work! Thank you so much for your effort! You are truly a fine addition to the team!
Good luck for the future Mr Stream Co-ordinator!
@XyroTR1
VastaKustutaThat was a fun topic!
Welcome to the team!
Welcome to EQD, Xyro
VastaKustuta@brilliantspecter
VastaKustutaOh I see. xD
XYROTR1!!! well.... this just made my day, Both a new episode AND my favorite pony youtube uploader became an admin for EQD, my life is now complete :)
VastaKustutaYou did great. Welcome Xyro.
VastaKustutaCant wait for 1080p release
When there be 1080p?
VastaKustutaSong in 1080p.

VastaKustutaXyro an admin? Congrats!
VastaKustutaWelcome, XyroTR!
VastaKustutaWaiting impatiently for the 1080p release. I loathe waking up early on Poni Saturdays! 4 more hours or so until 1080p, methinks. D:
Might as well find something to do to pass the time...
@80PercentBrony
VastaKustutaYouTube reports 1 minute remaining! But they suck at counting, so who knows. :P
A Spitfire fan?
VastaKustutaYES!
I don't know about you guys, but I'm already writing some sweet, sweet AU Hearth's Warming Fic
VastaKustutaHonestly, posting the 1080p versions of the episodes is more than satisfying enough for all of us. The rest is just icing on the proverbial cake, and that is awesome.
VastaKustutaThankfully, I don't tend to over-think MLP. I tend to just enjoy it for being a well made and very fun show. But, today's episode got me head-scratching.
VastaKustutaIf that was really the founding of Equestria where was Celestia and Luna? The unicorns raised the sun, and presumably the moon, which makes it sound like Celestia and Luna weren't around. But, before Celestia and Luna the world was ruled by Discord. Starswirl the Bearded was also mentioned and Luna knew Starswirl. Also, the Equestrian flag they planted had Celestia and Luna on it.
So... Huh?
Overall though, fun episode. I enjoyed it. The only thing missing was pan out to show it was Celestia (being her usual Trollestia self) outside the window at the end making the windigo noise.
@Eddie Perkins
VastaKustutaAll that has been poured over by many of us, in detail, over on the episode's post. If you really care to read through it all (or at least the latter half of comments, post-episode) you may find some explanations there.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MykC5PLqy3E
VastaKustutaHere have the song, in HD WITH LETTERBOXES AND SLIGHT COLOR CORRECTION!
Could you guys stop publishing links to the song on the day the episode is airing? It's a spoiler. I don't care how little of one, but it is. Finding out there's a song while watching is different from reading there is one.
VastaKustutaIf nothing else put it after the page break. I realize it's Xyro's first post, but it's been done before, and it's rather annoying to see happen again.
That's how Equestria was made!
VastaKustutaYAAAY 1080p!
VastaKustutaDawww, just in time for the holidays. What a sweet episode. Also, all of the ponies are great actors.
VastaKustuta@Illidan
VastaKustutaTime for me to learn how to add stuff past the break! There isn't a button for it. I'll do some googling. ;)
@Illidan
VastaKustutaAnd resolved! Thanks for the suggestion. :)
Go Xiro!
VastaKustutaAnd...my job's done. Time to finally get some sleep! (It's 5:30am, but I don't give a hay.)
VastaKustuta@Illidan
VastaKustutaI'll stop posting the songs onto here too.
welcome... to Pony!
VastaKustutaVery good episode this week.
VastaKustutaI only have one recommendation though.
Rarity has been using the words brute and ruffian a bit too much lately. She needs to buy a thesaurus.
First post in EqD:o
VastaKustutaAlso, i've just noticed at 5:51 that the pegasus guards hold spears, spears are now canon?
I just noticed the flag at the end. Yeah, guy, I'm afraid I'd have agree with the people saying it's a gaffe. Oh, well, that happens.
VastaKustutaCongrats xyro . Great episode this week
VastaKustutaI saw derpy like three times.
@PistolePlex
VastaKustutaI tend not to read comments until after watching, I don't really care if they're posted here.
Thanks for hiding the songs after the page break now. My apologies if I sounded rude earlier.
@XyroTR1
VastaKustutaWowowowowowowowowwow! Great episode!
Great timing, too!
You really stepped it up this time. Saw a bunch of artifacts in there, especially during the intro sequence, but I guess they're to be expected by this point, eh?
Thanks again. Glad to have you here.
Maybe it would've been better if the leaders had stayed frozen, and the underlings took over and founded Equestria. The underlings did seem to be better at leading.
VastaKustutaThey could've even had a legend that if the leaders ever thawed out, their hate would turn them into wendigos.
Here's the part where people might be making a mistake:
VastaKustutaAssuming a entertaining holiday pageant is a 100% historically accurate depiction of events. Much like pageants for Christmas and other holidays, it's possible the information in it is wrong or altered to be more aesthetic/entertaining (for instance, the shepherds being out with their sheep late at night leads many to believe the actual birth would have had to be in the spring or summer)
@80PercentBrony
VastaKustutaThe artificting was unfortunately source-level, and I couldn't get it to completely go away. It's much better than it was, though! I may rework it eventually, but that was the best I could do on a time crunch with little sleep. ;)
@XyroTR1 Thanks for the YouTube stream! I just watched the episode for a third time. 8^)
VastaKustutaI've seen a number of supposed continuity errors that I'd like to address, and hopefully make sense of for others.
VastaKustutaFirst off, the events of "Hearths warming Eve" predate the rule of Celestia and Luna.
The first bit of evidence is the reference to Starswirl the Bearded. Remember back on Nightmare Night, Luna was the only one who got Twilight's costume as Starswirl. "Commendable costume, even got the bells right." Remember that Luna was also banished for a thousand years, and hadn't yet adapted to the present times in Nightmare Night. This means that Starswirl was relevant as a folklore figure in Luna's time pre-banishment, and therefore places Starswirl (and his apprentice, Clever, played by Twilight) before Luna's time.
As for the flag, watch the scene carefully when the flag is unfurled. People ask "Wait, how could Hearth's Warming Eve take place before Celestia, when Celestia appears on the flag?"
The flag with Celestia on it is not displayed until the scene transitions back into present time. No doubt, the flag had changed over the years. Considering the events of the pilot episode, it would make sense that after Luna's banishment, she would've been removed from Equestria's iconography. The flag shown at the end shows both Celestia and Luna, which indicates that the flag was changed again to signify Luna's return and absolution from Nightmare Moon.
You do not see the flag they raise in the flashback. The scene goes with them putting in the flagpole, pulling on a rope, and THEN the scene transitions to the present where you see the current Equestria flag adorning the flagpole prop on the stage.
Hopefully this clears things up. Heart Warming's Eve definitely pre-dates the rule of Celestia and Luna, and probably Discord as well. So no continuity has been broken in the timing.
Plus, two other small things to consider. One: the tale of Hearth Warming's Eve is just that...a tale. It doesn't have to be consistent, it's just a story intended to express good morals and the importance of friendship; it's not supposed to be a historically accurate depiction of Equestria's founding. Two: it's just a TV show. You should really just relax.
HASBRO!
VastaKustutaWhere is my canon explination for alicorns?
Oh well, back to fanon I guess...
Other than that, good show!
That was an absolutely amazing episode, at least now we know that the alicorns aren't older than time itself.
VastaKustutaHooray! Xyro is best pony uploader.
VastaKustutaI liked it. I assume that it went this episode-> discord takes over-> Luna and Celly take over.
VastaKustuta@TheIdlingRev
VastaKustutaThat is unless they were there before and just happened to walk in Equestria and take over (peacefully, of course...)
As for the episode, I didn't expect the play to be the whole thing, but it was very nicely done. Another satisfied viewer.
Also, subtle Derpy appearance is subtle...
VastaKustutaLoved this episode :)
VastaKustutaI think we can pretty much officially say now that Discord made Celestia and Luna.
VastaKustutaLogic train...
Hearthswarming had no mentions of alicorns, Discord, or any mention of any sort of "grand ruler" (only leaders for each tribe)
Discord is the lord of Chaos, what's more chaotic than a mashup of every pony combined... Let alone such a pony that could (in theory) live for ever?
Discord is then defeated by his "creations". It's both poetic and plausible.
Watching it through the YouTube app on the Xbox 360 is glorious. Thanks for the upload.
VastaKustutaSo it's now canon that Earth ponies inherent ability is growing stuff, yes? The massive fuckstorm over this can stop now?
VastaKustutaYes?
That pegasus guy who tries to eat the feathery part of his helmet...I think we need art of him. A lot.
VastaKustutaEpic voice acting is epic. Seriously award people, get this show some awards. Also, I'm in agreement with the people who say that this predates both Discord and the Sisterhood, implying that the Alicorn race was either reclusive or created by Discord himself. Also, the time-frame did seem to snap back to the present before the Alicorn flag was hoisted, so I don't have any problem with time-frame stuff.
VastaKustutaOh, and Derpy curtain-derping. Yay!
Great episode! Am I the only one who got a "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" vibe from that song at the end?
VastaKustutaTerrific job, Xyro! Since I don't have the HUB, I have to wait with anticipation as the streams are uploaded onto Youtube, and without fail, yours are the best and the fastest! :D
VastaKustutaAs for the episode itself, all I can say is "hnnnng!"
FOR OCN! *raises blue flame flame*
VastaKustutainb4 day after tomorrow references.
VastaKustutaDoes this mean that Blueblood is descended from the Unicorn rulers then?
VastaKustutaPuddinghead says that the planet is round.
congrats on the new job
VastaKustutaSomewhat disappointed that this episode didn't tell us anything about where Alicorns or Discord came from, but interestingly this opens up a new plot element for my fic.
VastaKustutahave to see it one more time but also have to sleep... fuck me -.-
VastaKustutaThe uber warm welcome Xyro's been getting is even warming my heart-shaped black hole in my chest cavity. You bronies keep making me want to be a good person, damn you.
VastaKustutathe equestria anthem is too short. i want moar :(
VastaKustutaso that is why Princess Celestia makes them study friendship :D
VastaKustutaSo I'm pretty overwhelmed by everyone being so awesome. Thanks for such a warm welcome! C:
VastaKustuta@MetalBeerSolid
VastaKustutaFLAME FLAME YEAH 8D
@Koji
VastaKustuta"I think we can pretty much officially say now that Discord made Celestia and Luna."
I doubt it. Looks to me based on this story, that the three tribes decided that rulers were needed who would be neutral between their various sides, so they created them as a chimera. Which would make Discord either a prototype gone rogue, an unexpected side effect, or a disastrous attempt at an even more ambitious attempt to create a ruler acceptable to dragons, griffins and all the ungulate species.
