Usually the lower quality image is merged into the better one, regardless of who was first.

@northern haste  
And the latest versions as well?

@FlanksyOfficial  
Because the site wants the higher quality screencaps

@FlanksyOfficial  
Uhh he’s talking about the official version.

@thps48  

 
Still why.

@FlanksyOfficial  
DF screencaps are in a higher definition than Swedish Nick ones.

Why my photo was merged when it was first?!

Huh… come to think of it, it’d be awfully tragic if Stygian wasn’t saved in Shadow Play. Not only would he be forever trapped in limbo, but the Tree of Harmony would also have died after the Elements were sacrificed. You know, the living, sapient Tree of Harmony.
 
And as it stands (as of What Lies Beneath, not sure about future episodes), no one but the Young 6 and Cozy Glow know that she’s actually sapient… she could have died without anyone being any the wiser that she was, well, a living being.
 
That’s kinda dark in hindsight. I love it.

@holdmyponies94  
Cadance’s powers are derived from another equally ancient Chinese and mystic source. Why destiny decided to give the Tree a symbol reminiscent of a cutie mark that wouldn’t exist for over one thousand years is a separate discussion. ;D

Wait, the tree doesn’t have a place for cadence. What does that mean?🤔

@sTs  
I are right, you hope.

I hope right, you are.

I feel like we will be able to have fully developed lore when G5 hits

@Entrinity  
It does seem She has difficulty communicating, but Her intentions have always been benevolent, at least whenever She isn’t being tricked, like Discord and Accord did. After the mane six unlocked their inner powers with the Elements and they returned them to the Tree, She decided to help them further with the Box and the Map. Outside the events from the above image, one of Her more notable actions was expanding the Map after The Movie. :3

@Entrinity  
Actually they’re more like elemental bearers, using it’s powers for good.

I just watched this episode and the idea that the Tree of Harmony is growing and developing more abilities is immensely intriguing. The very fact that it/she(?) can communicate is crazy! How far can the Tree of Harmony’s roots go? Is it/she(?) the opposite of discord considering the tree can sense and predict friendship disputes? Are there any connections to the crystal empire? So many questions!!! Is it/she(?) growing because of Twilight and company’s spreading of friendship throughout the word or is it just coincidental? If it is because of Twilight and crew it would make the mane 6 basically knights of friendship.

@AC97  
Six very special friends?

@Power-Up&Sky-Blue
 
…I just noticed something.
 
There seem to be six branches on the Tree of Harmony that don’t have anything attached to them.

@AC97  
The very heart of the tree itself.

@Power-Up&Sky-Blue
 

 
She does have the largest element, and they all connect to hers.

It’s not lazy if the Spirit of Magic is Twilight Sparkle.

@Background Pony #6382

This is just lazy.

I was reminded of Yoda and his trials.
