Seriously, bronies were fighting about this stuff? Look at the theme of the episode, people! |

If nothing else we'll make it until the next episode solely off of arguing about Equestria's history.
Gotta love this fandom. |

I was just curious about it not ragin' at all but I knew a snowstorm was a brewin' but ye this explanation is satisfactory, though I still maintain that as it is a play they just used the current flag to represent the moral of the story but w\e, everypony go and put "a circle of friends" on repeat and 3 second crossfade and sing out loud! |

We weren't fighting, someone's just trying to convinvce everything that because the manes are differently colored they are not the same symbols. Seriously, I don't care if that's your headcanon, but you don't need to push that onto everyone who points out that there was a flag of the sisters.
Personally I don't see why a symbol of unity would include sun and moon anyway. |

@407 What is a fag? |
| Anonymous #781449 7 months ago |
Too many references to Tia and Luna. Better theory would be that Celestia and Luna are manmade Gods, that were specifically made to resemble the icons used on the flag. |

STOP FIGHTING IT'S STARTING TO SNOW OUTSIDE AND I'M GETTING SCARED, SRSLY GUYS. |

@OP
Unfortunately, Celestia says she and Luna defeated Discord and camera pans at this:
It is not implied, it is directly said that those two are illustration of Sisters and Harmony they mantain (ying/yang; day/night). Take a look at colors. |

Hm. Seems you're right. Well, we're fucked. Neverending winter caused by eternat flamewar about pony history is going to kill us all. I'm outta here, looking for new land to settle in. |

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |

I just figured that it was the only flag they had. If they didn't know who Luna was and thought Nightmare Moon was a myth they probably don't know what the first flag was. |

Luna and Celestia were brought to life by Discord from national symbols, thus explaining their origins! |
| wandering_wastrel #782110 7 months ago |
Well, I figured they just used the current Equestrian flag/banner to symbolize Equestria, even if that wasn't the flag/banner used at the time. Because 1) it's just a play and everypony knows what they mean, and 2) we do the same thing!
What I mean by 'we do the same thing', is we commonly use the Naval Jack of the Confederate States of America (or the flag of the Army of Northern Virginia; same design as the Jack but square instead of rectangular) to stand for the CSA, even though that was NOT the actual official flag of the CSA. (Yes, it was *part* of the second and third national flags; don't nitpick!) And no one gets confused because everyone know what you're referring to. Plus they may not have wanted to confuse all the little ponies in the audience who haven't learned all the details of Equestrian history yet. Just like we haven't. |

Thanks wandering_wastrel. I was thinking of something similar but you said it perfectly. |
| Anonymous #782676 7 months ago |
Well, it wasn't a direct flashback - it was a modern reenactment by mane six so it didn't have to be 100% accurate in universe. |
| Vree #782708 7 months ago |
What's the last word Cadence, by the way? I guess we might learn a thing or two about where alicorns come from. |
