Ok Kirin are an Actual Legendary Creature of Asian Mythos. They are actually Yes Very Noble and Kind. In ACTUAL Mythos, they float above the ground on wisps of cloud so they harm not even a blade of grass and are an auspicious sign for the birth of a male child. (They originate from China.) If the child is of a Noble family (QED The family of the Chinese Emperor) That heir will have a long and Prosperous reign. If that child is of a Commoner's family, he will become a Great and Wise sage or a great and strong hero in a great time of strife.

Bro, Kirin are Japanese Unicorns. Often depicted as a hybrid of a horse and a dragon, hence the antler-ish horn and the scales

Bonus sins: that shield doesn't have any writing on it whatsoever. How did Twilight get that legend from just a picture? Can't the Kirin write stuff down? Not talking doesn't mean the complete inability to communicate. Also, why does there just so happen to be such a hazardous stream? I think Equestria's actually a pretty scary place.

Autumn blaze was the best thing about this episode she’s awesome! Wish she was a teacher and yes the sing felt really Disney like. And I want her to meet pinky pie. Your right about the fluttershy thing How is that when autumn first found the flowers their was a bunch of them and yet she use some on herself to get her voice back and their are none left? If you ask me the last part of this episode was just something forced to make the squirrel thing with fluttershy justified. Still great episode.

Alexa, play Sound of Silence.

Guess she's using her right to remain silent Ok that got me to laugh

The kirins would definitely survive "A Quiet Place". And also -Tempest Shadow- Emily Blunt.

Hello darkness my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left it's seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a streetlamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of the neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence

No, truth speaking is an ability that means that they can understand all languages. Weather they are made by man, so to speak, or are natural sounds made by living creatures. I diffidently liked Autumn Blaze she was cute. Man the kirien Leader reminds me a lot like my Boss he told me not to talk too.

4:20 yes, but the same applies to English, other countries than England speak the language, it's universalish

6:26 - "There are a lot of ways to non-verbally insult someone." This got me thinking; what kinds of offensive gestures could a creature make with hooves?

I kinda wish the changlings looked more like these guys.

Am I the only one to think the Kirin acted like Vulcans?

5:23 there's also the awkwardness that she calls this out directly in front of all the kirin, who ARE nirik.... and it's only as I'm typing this comment I realized nirik is just kirin spelled backwards.😑 Anyway, my point being how offended the kirin must feel that Fluttershy just blurts that out in front of them, regardless of the fact she has no clue at this point that the Kirin and the Nirik are one in the same. Then again, as they "supposedly" don't really feel emotions anymore, they wouldn't feel anything, I guess? 7:43 also, this shot clearly shows that all the Kirin are visibly worried as they watch Applejack and Fluttershy fight... so, again, what's this nonsense about not feeling emotions? 8:41 actually, until Autumn Blaze's showed them in her song, the flowers didn't even cross my mind, so I think that was well established

4:53 yeah Fluttershy I'm curious as to why it doesn't say Y 7 either

I think they used Applejack because like you said "Why would a Pegasus care about mountain peeks. They could fly over it. " If it's RD, she would convince fluttershy, to fly over the mountain. Causing her to completely miss the flowers at the end.

Fluttershy wasn't upset, she just yelled because she wanted AppleJack to listen to her

Everything wrong with this comment

The thing about this episode that really bothered me was how Applejack was completely intolerant of the Kirin's choice to stay silent when she has an older brother who does much the same thing, and she specifically defends his right to do that. Sure, Big Mac CAN speak, but you pretty much have to stick to yes or no questions with him. She got mad when Starlight Glimmer made him talk with a spell. What's the difference?

You can still be mad even though you can’t talk

best episode in the season but they could have cut the first half and fluttershy autumn blaze is fun and has the best song in the season

I'm just gonna say that your statement about the episode not showing any of them "not being kind" because if you watched the episode on the Kirin's specifically then you would see how they have been kind. They just had emotional problems

'Cause rainbows won’t light up the sky, unless you let it rain... I love this song ^^

The firebending anger of the mirax was an idea I came up with first for my hybrid OC; which was inspired from Twilight bursting into flames after the incident with Pinkie sense.

Wanna add that the leader is just a slightly altered Celestia puppet? Leaders of every other race aren't nearly as blatantly obvious as the Kirin, even the ones that are part pony (Queen Novo, every other hippogriff compared to ponies, Chrysalis, etc). Like, even the old changeling queen, which was literally an evil Celestia with holes, had a different model. Even Cadence looks different, and she's still a pony!

"flanks don't lie." except for that time Discord tricked them... yeah, i forgot about that! also, i have read some fan-stories where Griffins spoke "griffish".

Qilin's are actual mythical beings based off of Asian mythology, to which they aren't part deer, but actually have features like that of a dragon, more specifically of a Chinese dragon. That's why they have scales, though they can also have two antlers or one, the one being what makes them more reminiscent of a unicorn. The more you know~

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic Season 8 Episode 24 - Father Knows Beast

**reads title** Hello darkness my old friend🎵

And flanks don't lie. The illusion trick doesn't really count because it wasn't the Tree of Harmony that did it

And we all know that a kirin is an Asian unicorn, right?

Fluttershy was awful in this episode. She had no right to lose her temper with Apple Jack at the beginning after abandoning her. Her arguement on keeping the Kirin silent was horrible but the episode treated the argument as if they had valid points. Her little stunt with the flowers only made it worse cause the episode rewarded her for her awful behavior.

“Hello Darkness my old friend, I come to talk to you again”

Sure fluttershy and Applejack are going on a friendship quest "wink wink", I feel like someone is going to make a fanfic later on about this

Hello darkness my old friend, I’ve come to talk to you again

Here`s a fact that I am surprised that no one brought up. If research them you will see that Kirins are actually dragons.

So if that part of the song is based off of the Phantom Of The Opera than the main song in that movie would sound like “the KIRIN of the opera is there, inside my mind da dadadadaaaa dadadadadaaaaaaaa!

They aren't ponies, they don't bully others

Number 35 She didn't sound that young to me she sounded slightly Asian which is where the legend of the Kirin came.

Also, am I the only one hoping Autumn Blaze comes back? She made this episode so much better than it otherwise would’ve been. Besides, you don’t put that much energy and attention and personality into a character and give them a killer voice and song just to throw them away, right?

6:05 *her first voice acting job* as far as i can tell and its STUNNING

What you say kinda proves that the cutie Map idea is no longer as fresh as when it was introduced in Season 5. Dragonwarlock(from Deviantart) would agree with you.

Sinning a deep monologue of what's supposed to be uplifting is now good for some reason

Video: “7 Minutes or less” Actual video: *9 minutes*

"Did they just give the entire plot of Phantom of the Opera?" Why yes. Yes, they did.

I'm glad you haven't lost yourself in the void, like the liveing tombstone and black gryphion, your better than them, and don't let anyone say different. Soon I'll have a transmutation circal drawn me, guess what's that for, It work before, then it will work the second time. After all maybe if it works out the way I want to it can help my rampantcy. Love you as always your biggest fan Rayo

7:46 now i know i am not the only one who heard fluttershy moaned while she was struggling to get free

Changing the characters personalities for an episode really is starting to bother me...

Finally 😂😂

These guys are gorgeous especially the leader.

The way the song starts, the musical theater..the comedy..this seems a lot like.. Yep. Celebrity Guest Star. Rachel Bloom aka Crazy Ex Girlfriend. She is good times.

This episode makes a lot more sense when you look at it as a metaphor for unethical pediatric psychiatrists prescribing high doses of mood stabilizers to chemically restrain difficult children by making them too emotionally numb to act out, instead of doing their job and addressing the underlying reasons for the child's outbursts. Medical abuse is rampant in pediatric psychiatry (at least in the part of the US where I grew up) because children have no control over who prescribes their medications. Literally their only recourse is if their parents have the education and the spine to advocate for them, even when that means telling the medical "expert" to fuck right off.

This episode is the greatest one in the entire season in my book.

I've been waiting for this UwU

They didn't ruin another waifu fluttershy is still my waifu

Give infinity sins for not showing autumn blaze till now.

So is nobody gonna talk about how several Kirin just disappeared when Apple Jack and Fluttershy stopped arguing

Interestingly enough, The Kirin are originally from Chinese Mythology, though in China they are called *"Qilin"* (pronounced Chee-Lynn), in Japan & Korea they are called "Kirin" or "Girin"(though "Kirin" is the Modern Japanese Term & "Girin" is the Modern Korean term for Giraffe), in Thailand they are called "Gilin", in Vietnam they are called "Ky-Lan"(pronounced Key-Lynn), but despite being referred to as the "Chinese Unicorn", the Kirin(Qilin, etc.) is actually a chimerical hybrid of several different creatures, though for the most part it is pretty much some kind of *"Dragon-Deer"* , mainly due to the Dragon-like Scales & association with Fire, and the Deer-like Body & Antlers, some even say that it is believed to somehow be a relative of the Sika Deer. Though it is too bad that they decided to go with the name "Kirin" for these creatures, because if they went with their original name of "Qilin", then it would have been perfect for some saying like *"Chillin' like a Qilin"* , because of how similarly pronounced "Chillin" & "Qilin" sound.

5:37 My headphones fell apart when I laughed. I still love Elon though.

I think this was hands down the best episode of the season, because it showcased the characters as having emotions besides their element of harmony. I mean, we legit just meet Autumn Blaze, and we know her whole personality, faults, hobbies, and the fact she had the courage to be alone instead of silent with her tribe she grew up with. The Disney song I think is because she's a secret Disney Princess. Also we NEED to find the voice actress for Autumn Blaze, and make her a main character, maybe even next season she can come to the school of friendship :D

To answer your question.... n-no...just no... they are not some make a wish OC, they are Kirin, an Asain mythical animal. With the logic you used all of the Pegasus and Unicorns are make a wish OC's since their mythical creatures as well.

2:08 No pony else get to the last stop, whose luggage is that?

Really awesome Video!!😄👍

Oh, yeah, the creatures that literally burn with anger live in a very easily-flammable location. Real smart.

When applejacl found "The peeks of paral" How could she even jump that far??

Aj if she was human I'd think she was on her woman monthly time ! Lol take a chill pill aj

Its seems to not only stop one from talking, but also seems to dull ones emotions, which I think is how they never transformed

2:59 - Let's not forget that Fluttershy isn't the strongest flyer.

Quieter than an apple blossom on snowfall If an apple blossom falls on snow It won’t really make much of a sound

i honestly cant believe thats what he thought kirins were

Autumn Blaze was the best part of this episode (her song too). Also that song transition was hilarious and totally in line with her spastic personality. I would never count that as a sin.

how about: (x) the first time... for a second quest? well, that IS special. you are "extra good at solving friendship problems" now, right? or is that an excuse for the sly squinting and hoof to mouth play. one might think you're hinting at something else. not at all.... (x) "final destination?" "the last stop?" ...... [still expecting to see a part of train come flying back and decapitate somepony] (x) trains operating in reverse. because reasons. (x) say what, old pony? is that booth soundproofed or something? (x) Fluttershy doesn't scold AJ for calling her new friends varmints? and the squirrels don't get offended either? weird. (x) back on the trail after a visit to the spa? if not, that's the quickest bounce back for AJ i've ever seen. (x) has it occurred to you that maybe they aren't talking to you simply because they don't want to or don't want you here? (x) "gesundheit?" right. because if they don't understand Ponish, i'm sure they'll understand German. (x) "for the love of Celestia?" since you don't want to be profane in a children's show, let's go for the next closest possible thing. (x) you'd rather not talk about it, but you'd sing, right? god, i hate it when i'm right. as if anybody didn't see that coming.... (x) "the singer was in love with another dude." yay. love triangle in a kid's show. plus kidnapping. awesome. (-) Phantom of the Opera reference. (x) the no-surprise exile. if i lived in that village, i'd probably want to exile her too. she's like Bugs Bunny on crack. (x) couldn't you have turned the couch sideways and crooked to fit it out the door? laziness factor +10. (x) btw, i love your accompaniment. Wilson, you've got some competition, buddy... Wilson? ...... WILSON!!!!!!!!! (x) okay, we've enough Autumn Blaze crazy. hoof puppet is overkill. don't even care if its name happens to be Mitch Conner.... (x) so i guess everypony sucks at charades then? and of course nopony is stuck in the well. she ain't Lassie, is she? (x) AJ, stop apologizing for things you've already apologized for. it's silly. (x) for that matter, you could apologize for how you've acted Flutters, but i guess you're too good for that. remember that, kids. (come to think of it, it ain't the first time either. that's pretty sad.) (x) there's no way throwing so few flowers in the water source would have worked like that. that cure would be far too diluted. (x) "i can't say how much we missed your beautiful voice." just give it a few weeks. or a few days. you'll remember all right.... (x) um, did Blaze just flood the area right before the episode ended? certainly looked like it. exile her!

*gets to the Phantom of the Opera part" NO! NO! No! No.....I'm not gonna sit here and let you tell everyone exactly what is wrong with, because, I personally, see no flaws, at all, so how about you just keep your mouth shut on the topic? -_-

5:25 Trolls reference.

I’m looking for someone who comments about the fact that they described the entire plot of phantom of the opera

lets add Kirin to the list of random pony-like creatures hasbro has added. Enter bat ponies.

7:19 They have a lot of weird animal traits, but the simplest way of describing a kirin is just to call it a dragon with hooves.

Looks like twilight has been listening to Shakira recently.

This episode was just a giant example of bad communication lol

I think the leader just has a high pitched voice

The effects of the Stream of Silence isn't that it removes their emotions completely, but suppresses them.

On the road to friendship is still the best episode this season, with the best song.

That filly came from Disney.

Right to remain silence? Come on can't you give it arrest with the puns?

Autumn Blaze is already my favorite backround character💚 And also everytime she talks she always reminds me of the KZfaqr The Lost Narrator, just in the way she acts and how she sounds in general.

You should have pointed out that it takes one flower to cure the entire village, but takes a entire flower bed to cure one Kirin.

‘Oh it’s just that I’m not used to seeing anypony taking the train to the end of the line’ ‘The final destination’ ‘The last stop’ Pretty sure we got the message the first time, buster.

How is it that every creature we seen on this show speak the exact same language as the ponies

Ok fun fact time. Appaloosa is a horse breed. Everyone thinks it's some apple pun but it's yet another horse-theme name for a town. I learned this because my mom loves horses. Have fun everyone

lol at 8:29 the flowers are shown to be called "balls breath" haha

Sin 28. I think the lose of feeling was a side effect of the stream. Also it was that they could feel but they couldn't express it in any way I think.

1:05 umm theres no words or hieroglyphics on that shield...

The name kirin is lightning and these things that pretty much have nothing to do with lightning

it’s the fucking phantom of the opera jokes for me

I want Autumn to meet Pinkie Pie

Flanks don't lie? As in hips don't lie? Yep, that is old.

Just realized it's called "Kerin" which is a lot like "Keres".

Fluttershy is only kind with the animals

Not only that but it’s called✌️sound of silence✌️get it the song sound of silence by Simone and Garfunkel

Come on tonight you know my flanks don't lie and I'm starting to fire it up
