Sorry Wryte.

I've had a bit of a rough year familywise myself but it could definitely have been worse.

Thanks, everyone. I'm coping. Humor's helped, and I've had a pretty good support system IRL to fall back on when I went dark online.

Sorryness++

Coincidently, my first (and only) fanfic attempt was abandoned after 3 chapters. But I didn't post it on Fimfic, so at least people won't be disappointed.

Post of the Day #1595

I have to agree with the idea that we need more stories of AJ actually succeeding, without the help of others. She's always overcome by some challenge and needs help to beat it. But I have to sleep now.

Have a funny fat Pinkie in the meantime.

And instead we get stories about Applejack being Best Pony and fixing other ponies' problems.

For some reason I flashed back to a series where Trixie (still under aftereffects of the Alicorn Amulet) put together a crew to get revenge on the Mane Six and AJ was the only one to get straight-up beaten down (to be fair, by The Brute/Enigmatic Minion who got pulled in for precisely that purpose). Now I keep waiting for him to come back because I know she's going to want to redeem herself (admittedly I keep waiting for anything involving that seriestongue).

It occurs to me that AJ is not often put in situations that challenge her physical abilities or at least not lately. I mean putting aside how her hind legs are probably super buff, it would be interesting to see her get into an apple bucking challenge or something with someone of equal ability.

"Buckball Season" had a bit of that. Before she got worfed again.

I think that was an issue of skill more than strength. Similar to why Fluttershy was superior to Rainbow Dash in the air, when otherwise that would, like, never be the case.

Yeah, I don't know if I'd call that being worfed exactly. AJ is extremely strong, but that doesn't necessarily equate to being the best at a particular sport. It's easy to believe that Pinkie could be more mobile.

I remember that Pinkie's style of buckball involved using pretty much any part of her body than just her back legs to hit the ball, which means that she had an advantage of being able to hit the ball from any direction. Applejack's style, on the other hand, meant that, for example, she would need to turn around to kick it if she was facing forward when the ball came at her.

OOC: Buckball? What's that? ...Ah, it's later in season 6. I'm only on episode 10.[lol]

Don't worry about spoiling things for me here. I figured I would be spoiled on a few things given how far behind I am.
