It’s Hearth’s Warming all over again! (RIP Tom Petty)
• Check your pony privilege, kid! Hearth’s Warming isn’t universal! Yaks celebrate Yannukah, dragons have St. Smaug’s Eventide, griffons have Gristlemas (the Festival of Low-Grade Meat), and hippogriffs do some weird hippy-dippy solstice thing. As for changelings, they rip off everyone else’s holidays.
• Somepony’s ruining Hearth’s Warming Eve!
And it’s probably not Starlight this time!
• Perhaps it’s Jelly Pony celebrating in his own ...
special way.
• Our heroes alone in a big empty building during winter ... time for pony The Shining, I guess.
• Or pony The Thing, I’d be cool with either.
• Hey, maybe some ponies celebrate Hearth’s Warming by dumping goo on everything and lying about it. Their families did it in the old country, don’t culture shame.
• This feels like a real plot on a real TV show. I can’t say that about pony as often as I’d like. Sometimes it’s just 20 minutes of shenanigans + a friendship lesson.
• Yak holiday too commercialized. Mostly just prop up smash economy.
• I don’t think anything will top Yona’s segment, but I’m willing to stay and find out.
• Ha, “and then the strong dominated the weak, The End.”
• Oh man baby pony sister is too adorable.
• This family’s Hearth’s Warming includes
voodoo dolls?! I mean I’m not culture shaming, but the practice seems ripe for abuse.
• I sort of want this to be a reality show thing, with factions and shocking betrayals.
• Holy smokes actual characterization for the students! And it’s well-done characterization too!
• So Gallus was Kira all along!
