When a Pony Cries, Which One Gets to You The Most?

[Tom Gallagher 33,408]

This is an interesting one. Basically, the question is which crying scene in MLP gets to you the most and who is it?  The show has had its fair share of emotional moments throughout the nine years it’s been around and they can be, in the words of Pinkie Pie, ‘Just... heart-wrenching!’

Here, I tried to use the best examples I could. Some were easy, some not.  Some were obvious, some were more difficult. I tried to go for the most emotional ones, rather then ones that were more funny than sad. Honestly, as you all know, all of the Mane Six are my favourites so when any of them cry, it’s pretty difficult for me to get through.  Anyway, here are my examples:

Fluttershy: 

Applejack: 

Twilight Sparkle:  (This is the saddest scene in MLP history for me)

Pinkie Pie: 

Rarity: 

Rainbow Dash: 

Or all of them together:

Rarity's cry is quote laughable...always makes me laugh..... Pinkie...even though she's my favorite is quite fake...... Fluttershy...makes me worry because one of the sacred rules...dont make fluttershy cry.

Aj and rd and twi is a bit realistic and painful to watch

[Rainy Daze 1,699]

Fluttershy being my fave means that I absolutely hate seeing her in distress like that  Quite like Rarity I just can't bare to see Fluttershy cry. However I would say that the group moments definitely affect me more. I'd say the hardest part of the show for me to watch is Rainbow Dash and the rest of the Mane 6 (mostly) crying together over saying goodbye to Tank, but that's mostly due to the seriousness of the issue in that episode. I think it's also more likely to have a greater impact on the audience when a strong character like Dash breaks down opposed to Fluttershy, Pinkie or Rarity who cry way more often.

Really depends if they’re legit sad and could be any of them  .

I know it “got me” when Pinkie Pie cried after Sunset was ranting about her in Find the Magic. Like I knew that legitimate hurt her. Also she’s my fave :U

[TotallyNotNyx 15,549]

All of them and none of them

Best answer xD

Welll that was actually EQG  . So she’s not a “pony” really.

Other than that I don’t usually take hits from sad poners  .

You emotional when colorful horse women cry? 

 

So are we talking about the Everfree camp movie? When Sunset sings? I cannot think of another place?

[ExplosionMare 17,866]

Fluttershy crying always makes me really sad

[Midnight Danny 9,008]

For me, it's between Twilight's scene (from the movie) and Rainbow Dash (from the episode "Tanks for the Memories"). And not gonna lie or something, but i really cried a lot...

Well I wouldn’t say emotional  . Just really hoping they get better  .

Its errr one of the specials  .

From these clips, I voted Dashie. It’s so unlike her, and that scene was pretty intense. 
 

Followed closely by Fluttershy. Cuz Fluttershy.

Not my problem. I can’t stand EqG.

I'm sticking with that one anyway. I don't wanna see anypony cry! 

[EpicEnergy 21,455]

All of them make me feel sad when they cry.

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,106]

Honestly; while all of them has a certain effect on me, it's really Applejack and Twilight breaking down that get to me. In a sense, the two of them share a burden of having a lot of ponies depend on them; whether it's family (AJ), an entire nation (Twi), or their own expectations (both). This can lead to quite a lot of stress, and when they reach that breaking point, they feel like an utter failure.

I should know; I've felt that and it's brought me down, whether my own family, place of employment, or even the forums here. I tend to handle my emotional tendencies well, but sometimes...yeah. Their sadness hits me because I feel like I can relate to it.

[AppleButt 8,663]

Applejack.  Cause she cries on the inside.  So when she doesn’t it means something really big happened.  You know like almost losing her farm. 

[Sparklefan1234 152,563]

Applejack because she's the "strong one", Pinkie Pie because she's the "happy one" & Twilight Sparkle because when she fails it really hits her hard.

 

[Vefka 1,492]

I wanted to say Fluttershy but it's kinda... in her nature? So I say Pinkie Pie because if constantly smiling happy-pone starts to cry, you know something really bad happened. Also Twi cries only when it's serious

Your avy, tho 

[Steve Piranha 25,986]

While it’s sad seeing Fluttershy crying, it’s frequent, and not always serious. Princess nerd horse on the other hand, cried the hardest and during the darkest situations. That breakup scene in the movie, the wedding, and I got to Find a Way comes to mind. Besides, she’s probably the strongest pony out of them. Seeing such a strong person cry is always heartbreaking

Oh that one yeah ....that takes the cake

[Splashee 28,471]

Except for some EQG specials, I don't really cry if a pony is emotional
