Apples is a very generous pony, just in different ways. More like a generous hospitality sort of way.

Hmm, that would have made for an interesting character dynamic to explore. Rarity's is a materialistic sort of generosity, while Apples is social generosity.

When you become Rarity's friend, she will make you a dress and gift it to you. When you become Applejack's friend, she invites you to dinner and treats you like family.

Pinkie's pretty filled with generosity too. If she meets you, she'll throw you the best party ever.

Pinkie is one of those people who are so eager to be your friend, it may just cross over into off-putting. There is such a thing as too nice.

Oh, one of the "stressed pony go mad" episodes. Those were so fun. That was one of the things that really set it apart from the stereotype of what MLP was like, I think. At least, I couldn't imagine a pony just cracking like that on the old pony shows.

Plus the episode where Pinkie went crazy over Cranky not wanting to be her friend.

[up][up]Tomorrow I’ll be having the right kind of weather: cold, dark, and raining. [tup] So for the fun of the Halloween season, I’ll be watching the three crazy episodes: “Party of One,” “Lesson Zero,” and “Inspiration Manifestation.” cool

Now I just have to decide if I should eat them while having lunch or dinner? ^_^;;

Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!

Looking back, there's so much Sapphic subtext between AJ and RD.

Granted, a lot of Rainbow's interactions are Rife with sapphic undertones. But it's really apparent when she's with Applejack.

The got that a lot with Fluttershy too. The early show had a lot more physical comedy resulting in embarrassing situations, and more physical contact generally.

Aw nuts. There was this great-looking Halloween song with Adagio in the thumbnail, but now I can't find it. And it was right THERE on YouTube's home page! >.<

The Grrreat and Powerful Trrrixie isn't the only pony with a fun anniversary. I knew watching those episodes today was a good idea. It was on this day back in 2011 that the simultaneously scary and hilarious "Lesson Zero" first hit the airwaves. surprisedgrin

On the subject of the Applejack/Rainbow Dash romantic pairing (particularly after what was shown in the final episode), I thought of an interesting potential scenario involving the cider sales. I could imagine a scenario where soon after Rainbow Dash has become part of the Apple family, she gets excited about the idea of getting to drink all the cider she wants. However, she would then be told that if she takes too much, there won't be enough left to sell to customers (or at least not as much in general). So then she would have to choose between what she wants for herself in the moment versus something that could benefit her and the rest of the family in the long-term, especially if she also has something she wants to buy for herself. And then it could end with them teaming up to advertise Zap Apple Jam together!

Appledash is my Berserk Button and when I hear and see any mention of it I get very angry, very angry indeed. >:( smile

Ps; Rarijack is best couplesmilewaii.

I'm sorry but not everyone has the same opinions about shipping, or likes the same characters, or looks at the same fan art you do. You seem to have a really bad habit of acting as if your headcanons (like ponies hate those who eat meat, twist's adult design is bad etc) are the most popular interpretations.

[up][up]If it makes anyone happy, both Appledash and Rarijack are canon in a sense.

Appledash is teased for the pony counterparts and Rarijack is teased for the human counterparts in Equestria Girls, so both ships win.

Also, I'm imagining that Bow Hothoof and Windy Whistles would smother the Apple sisters with as much love as they show their daughter.

[up][up] - I mean, Twilight is literally the colors of the bisexual flag, plus Rainbow Dash being... well, rainbow colored.

The powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.
