Heartwarming / Ask a Pony

• From Ask Ruby, "She is more than my friend, she is my hat!" and the origin of the Sweetie Hat.
• Who is Derpy's best friend? Carrot Top of course!
• Then we have this from Ask Twilight Sparkle, in which she realizes Spike will someday grow too big to live with her anymore, and... Well, see for yourself.
• All of Pinkie Pie's and Fluttershy's blog. The innocent shipping is endearing.
  • This.
  • Also this. Sometimes just being with someone is gift enough.
    • Especially on Hearts and Hooves Day!
• The infamous Pinkamina Tumblr blog based on the Cupcakes (Sergeant Sprinkles) fanfiction recently went on permanent hiatus. A spin off blog starring Scootaloo reacted accordingly. This tearjerker lead to the Pinkie blog essentially saying "hiatus be damned!" and decided to do something that wouldn't give people nightmares for once.[1]
• Ask Pipsqueak has at least one or two moments that can make even the most hardened cynic go "D'awwww!". Its run by PashaPup, who's responsible for quite a few of the entries in the Fan Art section.
• From Carrot Top's Garden is this mini-story [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] about Dinky, Ditzy, Carrot Top, Noi, and Sparkler and the Sisterhooves Social. Especially the "can I have a sister?" part, Dinky and Sparkler bonding, and Ditzy telling Sparkler as far as she's concerned, she's as good as a daughter to her.
  • From the same place it takes the "Derpy eating Carrot Top's food" concept and give it a tear jerking and heartwarming twist
• *Thump*
• Ask My Little Chubbies is adorable in blog form.
  • You're not a freak. you're an amazing pony
  • How baby chubbies are made. Extra daww point for looking like The Dango Family
  • Why do chubbies exist? They help with their pony counterpart's emotional stability. Even when their pony was far away.
• Ask Echo the Wonderbolt, a recently established Tumblr for a blind O.C. Stand-in pony (she appeared in a brief Off-Model shot in "The Best Night Ever") who uses echo-location to navigate. The fact that she's also a Wonderbolt injects a shot of awesomeness.
  • She was actually given the canon name Fleetfoot in the show a few days after the blog started in "Sweet and Elite". Considering Fleetfoot won the race, it makes Echo's reaction all the more sweet.
• It's December!
• Reunion. Note: spoilers for "Equestria Lost An Angel".
• This from Ask Paranoid Twilight, of all blogs. "Hush Twi...everything is alright, your number one assistant is here..." D'awwww.
  • her second most asked question
• From the Dan Vs.FiM Tumblr: The purple one is tolerable.
• From Ask Jappleack, Jappleack finally shows her hidden heart of gold.
  • That moment pales in comparison to this, following Jappleack's Applebloom's death.
  • Later on, there's Applejack's goodbye to Japplejack as she prepares to try and stop Appelox before he can make it to Equestria.
• This gem from Ask Flutterstalker.
• Stop asking Twilight which one of her friends is her favorite. From "Ask Twilight Sparkle Anything." Part 1 and Part 2.
• Pretty much any of the Master's Pet the Dog moments with Pinkamena. In fact, the same could be said for the reverse. Their whole relationship has a very Love Redeems-ish feel to it, given that it's basically the one positive trait exhibited by either pony.
• This piece from the ask lil miss rarity blog of all places, the end also doubles as a crowning moment of funny
• Discord Whooves has a date with Twilight.
  • It's the best he could do.
• Grim Dark Big Mac Knows what to do with a diamond ring. Sell it to buy enough balloons to spend more time with Spitfire.
• Vengence comes home.
• Ask Molestia of all places has one. Involving a particularly sweet moment with Scootaloo.
  • Even with all the crap they put each other through, Molestia and Luna are still sisters, who care about one another.
• Ask Human Luna post.
• While it's rare for text based blogs to have Moments of Heartwarming, Advice Rarity pulls one off when she shows she isn't limited to words of fashion wisdom.
• This is worth it. Surprisingly poignant and romantic, considering Hoops and Dumbbell in the original canon. Hell, the entire blog is Alternate Character Interpretation at it's finest.
• The finale to Fire Starter Spitfire, especially the end, where the world goes from the black and orange/yellow palette that the blog had been since the beginning to normal colors, indicating that Spitfire has finally made peace with her inner demons and is able to move on with her life.
• Although NSFW at the most, Ask Velvet has some very heartwarming moments. For example, Blackberry Cream bonding with her newborn daughter, Blackberry Cream asking Velvet to come to her cousin's place for Hearth's Warming Eve, Velvet and family worrying about an incident with her younger brother and mistletoe, and (Warning! NSFW! Be carefull!) Velvet post Ladies Night Out with Surprise on Hearts and Hooves Day
• The Cutie Mark Crusaders has been through some rough times since they have been in the Vocational Death Cruise. But, Sweetie Belle takes some time out to make friends with Slendermane
  • And what got them to recover from those rough times was encouragement of their followers. Despite what happened between Scootaloo and Apple Bloom, one follower told them it was time they made up, which finally got them to start talking to each other. While Sweetie Belle lost her fur, many of her followers told her that she was still adorable and wanted to give her hugs. In fact, you could even say it was their followers that helped Sweetie Belle befriend Slendermane in the end.
    Scootaloo: Oh, grow up, Sweetie Belle. They can’t help us right now.
    Sweetie Belle: Well… maybe not but…they still love us very much and…sometimes, love is the only thing you really need…
• Shining Armor managing to restore Discord!Cadence with The Power of Love.
• Ask Baby Discord (or His Guardian Fluttershy. It's a blog about Fluttershy taking care of Discord who's been regressed to a surprisingly adorable infant with apparently no memory of his former life. The entire blog is just adorable.
  • "That's right, you are my brave big colt."
• A real life one between the mods of Ask Stalkerloo and Ask Laura, seen here.
• The only thing to fear is not death... but a wasted life.
• In spite of Ask Bubblini DaVinci Berry being creepy, it too has some heartwarming moments. An exmaples is: When two certain people are standing under the mistletoe
  • After someone calls Berry out on what he does to people, he starts to become very depressed, but Dusk Shine comforts him. That's right, after what Bubble Berry did to him, he still sees him as his friend.
    • Not only that, but some of the reactions that the fans had to him being upset, is pretty heartwarming.
    • What he got Dusk Shine for Christmas definitely qualifies as heartwarming too.
• The Doctor is back.
  • That story line gives THREE different blogs major heartwarming moments. Aside from the Discorded Whooves overcoming his own corruption for a while, Miss Twilight Sparkle is given the opportunity to raise a foal, giving her a ray of hope hope in the grimdark Ponyville she lives in, and Pregnant Scootaloo winds up gaining a mother of her own.
• Why did Genie Twilight choose to remain an immortal genie in the end? so she could stay with Spike for his entire life.
  • And then there's her run in with Trixie. Even after defeating her with her enhanced magic, Twilight still shows mercy and helps her.
  • Rainbow's reaction tothe events of "Wonderbolt Academy". And Twilight's reaction to her wishing for a hug.
  Twilight: You're a silly pony if you think you needed to say 'I wish' for one of those.
• The story behind the creation of Rainbow-less Dash, which can be read here. An outcast girl with odd hair, a guy that wanted to be her friend, and a shared love of a simple television show leading to a shared love between them...
• Hazel reading a comatose Trixie her favorite bedtime story in Ask Stalker Trixie. if you look closely, you'll see that Trixie, despite her coma, is smiling as Hazel reads to her.
• Queen Chrysalis finds herself getting reformed much like Discord was, courtesy of Fluffle-Puff.
  • The end of Fluffle Puff Tales: "Equestria Girls".
  • Chryssi's and Fluffle Puff's movie night.
• Ask Itty Bit is an adorable blog to begin with, revolving around the antics of the sweet baby pony Itty Bit as she answers questions in a way only a child could answer them and interacts with her family and other ponies in zany, insanely cool, sometimes extremely sad, and of course adorable ways; but that's not the crowner. The crowner is when her parents go out to prom. When her parents leave, she gets an idea and works for hours on end, eventually creating her own prom (and a cute little dress for the event), and inviting "the whole world" to come and enjoy it with her. From there, it delves into a MASSIVE Tear Jerker as the inevitable (for us) happens and no one shows up. But from there, the story goes into Heartwarming overdrive as her fairy godmother shows up, having heard about her prom, and says that several other ponies (from various other blogs) wanted to come to her prom as well, utterly AVERTING the Foregone Conclusion that she would be all alone and completely heartbroken because nopony showed up to her prom, showing that her followers genuinely cared that Itty Bit wasn't sad because nopony came to her prom. Her face in the final panel is the cherry on top.
• This post from an Ask-Cheese Sandwich blog (if you're a Cheesepie shipper).
• Even Murdershy has it's moments like the (now sadly unlinkable) moment after it had just changed art-style and a asker had insulted fluttershy's new body as 'ranchy', over a hundred followers sent in comments to reassure her that her she was still beautiful(just in a more fan-servicey way).
• Ask Princess Screwball's reaction to her father's situation following "Twilight's Kingdom".
• Diane, one of the Pinkie clones that managed to escape, has been living in a box since she got there. After she gets sick as a result, her new friend Spotlight finds out about this. His reaction? Take her home with him because he can't stand the thought of letting her sleep outside, exposed to the elements while she's sick.
