Line 78:
* Ending paying homage to ''[[Star Wars|A New Hope]]'', [[Manly Tears]] were shed.
* The pain Spike endures returning Twilight's letters en masse is heartbreaking, especially in the circumstances. He's literally bedridden from it and is still sending them against his will, experiencing pain each time and his [[Cool Big Sis]]/[[Parental Substitute]] figure is almost too busy to notice... and the most heartwrenching part is that nobody had any choice in the matter, as the world would have been doomed if they did things any other way.
* The speechless, horrified look on Twilight's face when Discord reveals to her that the maze was a wild goose chase. Even more so when you realize ''why'' she would have such a look. Going into the maze ''[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|was her idea]]''. She knows something happened to her friends in the maze...[[Kick the Dog|and Discord is pretty much rubbing it in her face that it was]] ''[[Kick the Dog|her fault]].''
== Lesson Zero ==
Line 95:
== Sisterhooves Social ==
* When Rarity sees the arts & crafts project Sweetie Belle made for her: {{spoiler|a crayon drawing of them surrounded by a heart made of gems.}} Made worse by the fact that when Rarity first saw it she responded by shouting at Sweetie Belle for using the gems she had been saving, even claiming she wished she didn't even have a sister. Her [[My God, What Have I Done?]] moment when we finally see the picture is extremely powerful stuff.
* The hurt look on Sweetie Belle's face when Rarity rejects her offer to take part in the social, calling it uncouth. She almost isn't able to hold back her tears. Likewise, Rarity's pained expression when Sweetie Belle rejects her apology and continues to disown her. If you look closely during their first argument, it's obvious that both Sweetie Belle ''and'' Rarity are trying to hold back tears.
* Poor Sweetie Belle is a [[Woobie]] throughout, since she just wants to make her sister happy, but Rarity doesn't realize her good intentions are more important than the messes she causes.
Line 136:
== Baby Cakes ==
* Pinkie {{spoiler|finally cracking under the pressure of taking care of the Cakes' twin babies and bursting into tears. And the look on her face beforehand, too. You can practically hear her screaming "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!"}}
** {{spoiler|The twins' [[My God, What Have I Done?|reaction]] to it too. You can tell they really feel sorry for it. Which makes sense, as she's been their playmate since they were born more or less.}}
* The twins' first words {{spoiler|"Pinkie" "Pie"}} count for this all on their own.
* Fluttershy's refusal to babysit the Cakes' twins due to Angel wanting to go on a picnic. She repeatedly begs them not to be mad at her, showing that she really takes people being disappointed or mad at her very hard.
Line 142:
== Season 2 - Part 2 ==
== Hearth's Warming Eve ==
* The leaders of the three tribes getting frozen solid, even if they brought it upon themselves, qualifies a small bit as this. They know they're about to die along with both their homeland and the new land they came to claim, and [[My God, What Have I Done?|it's all their fault.]] Their second-in-commands, who just wanted peace and were willing to get along perfectly with each other, nearly receiving the same fate? Definitely this.
** After the leaders are frozen, the advisers acknowledge that they could be friends as they are being frozen themselves, lean their heads together to be close to a friend as they accept what they probably are thinking are their last moments.
Line 190:
* The teary eyed faces of Rarity and Pinkie Pie as Fluttershy berates them on being a fashion designer and liking parties, respectively. She's insulting what each deems their ''purpose in life''. No wonder they ran away crying.
** Plus her vicious insult of Pinkie's intelligence, done for no other reason than Pinkie being concerned about how Fluttershy was acting, and calling Rarity 'petty' when she was just defending Pinkie. This all comes from someone they consider a dear friend. Rarity's reaction to this first insult is to turn away and weep silently into her hoof.
* {{spoiler|Fluttershy's [[My God, What Have I Done?]] moment really cranks up her Woobie status.}}
** Also, you know how sometimes when Fluttershy smiles you hear a [[Squee]] sound effect? There's a sad version when she frowned.
Line 197:
* The extended sequence of the teenage dragons bullying Spike. It doesn't help that the bullying is portrayed in a rather disturbingly realistic fashion and they happen to pick up on the thing that Spike is most insecure about at the time.
* The fact that teenage dragons {{spoiler|steal phoenix eggs, and smash them. Imagine being the [[Adult Fear|parents of those dead eggs]].}}
* It was very upsetting to see Rainbow Dash tease poor Spike about being a "lame dragon". Heck if it wasn't for [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|her teasing him]], he wouldn't have felt so out of place.
* When Spike says he wouldn't mind living with the other dragons forever, just the look and reaction on the ponies faces, are pretty tearjerking. Especially since they are blaming each other for him wanting to stay, and looking like they're about to cry while doing it.
