>>42393790>My green made it into the OP listFeels good boys. Gonna try and wrap one up to post in the next day or so. It's kind of a prequel to Apples, Oranges, and Agoraphobia.
>>42393820Stand proud Applebro
Morning bump.>>42393820Great work, anon!
Her farts kill.
>>42394388her lasso forces you to tell the truth
Does anyone have any ideas for AJ greens they'd like to read? I'll be posting one in a little bit, but I'm always looking for new ideas for more stories.
>>42395594I'd like to see more of Applejack competing in rodeos
>>42395594a green about reason why AJ farms pigs would be interesting
New green. This ones a distant prequel to the other one that elaborates on a particular line from Anon. Also, this ones from AJ's pov instead of Anon's.>It’s been about a month and a half now since you and your family took in Anon.>You weren’t entirely sure about him at first, but you’ve all warmed up to him very quickly.>He may be a little awkward and shy, but he’s a real hard worker, and he’s been nothing but polite and respectful towards y’all, and every other pony is interacted with, for that matter.>And he’s been trying to learn all about your culture, asking you about local customs and such.>He’s really been putting in the effort trying to integrate himself and learn how things are done around here.>You’ve been enjoying being able to teach somepony new about your family traditions.>And since he’s living with you, he’s had a lot more opportunity to engage in those traditions than the girls do.>All in all, you honestly couldn’t be happier with the arrangement.>Anon’s a good fella. He’s got a dang good work ethic, and you’re glad to be able to call him a friend.>And he’s just so much better handling tools than any of y’all are, he can do some jobs dang near twice as fast as you or Macintosh.>You’ve all been able to get an extra few hours of free time a week, while still getting the same level of work done.>He may not be able to haul a plow or buck a tree, but those hands of his are great at anything that needs a finer touch.>You’ve been starting to realize just how lucky Twilight and Rarity are, always having Spike around helping them.>You really ought to do something for him to show how thankful you are for his help.>Truth be told… you’re actually a little worried about him at the moment.>That’s why you’ve been thinkin’ about him an awful lot today.
>>42396230>You swear, something was different about him today.>He seemed a might distant during breakfast.>He ain’t usually the most talkative type, but he seemed even quieter than usual.>Barely saying a word unless somepony talked to him first.>Seemed to be eating slower too, like he wasn’t really hungry.>Keeps on staring off at nothing in particular.>Maybe you’re just imagining it, but…>Might as well talk to him, right?>Better safe than sorry.>If he’s fine, then you can quit your worryin’ and focus on your chores.>But if something is bugging him, then maybe you can get it taken care of.>That way, you’ll both feel better.>You sigh as you put aside your watering can you’d been carrying.>You’re tending the garden today, and Anon should be off chopping firewood.>That’s one of the chores he’s real good at.>First day you had him do it, that colt chopped through a whole pile in just an hour.>Those hands of his sure were something.>As you trudge your way back towards the house, your ears begin to pick up on the rhythmic sound of logs being split by an axe.>Your lips curl into a smile.>He’s hard at work, even despite whatever’s going on with him.>Circling around to the side of the house where the chopping block is, you come trotting up behind Anon.>Even looking at him now, it feels like he’s working a bit slow.>Well, ‘slow’ relative to how he usually is, at least.>Still a fair bit faster than you can manage with it.>But he ain’t as fluid as he usually is.>His movements are awkward and stiff, and it just feels like his mind is someplace else.“Heya, ‘Non?”>He flinches as you call out his name.>He whips around, a bit more shocked than you intended.>He must not have heard you walking up.>You smile gently at him, trying to calm his nerves.“You got a minute sug?”>He sighs, setting the axe down on the stump before returning a somewhat forced looking smile.>”Course I do, Applejack. What’s up?”
>>42396232“I just wanted to ask if you’re feelin’ alright. Seems like you’re a little quieter than usual today, and I’ve just been a might concerned.”>His eyes averts, and he seems to hesitate for a moment before responding.>”I’m… fine, you don’t have to worry about me.”>Your eyebrow raises incredulously.>That was far from a reassuring answer.“You sure? You can always talk to me if something’s botherin’ you.”>He turns his head away from you, trying his best to look away.>Now you’re pretty sure he’s actively trying to avoid looking at you.>”I’m fine. Just… don’t feel well.”>Don’t feel well?>Was he coming down with something?>Shoot, you’d of kept him in bed if you knew he sick with something!>The chores ain’t so important that he can’t take a day off to rest.“’Non, if you’re sick then you should be in bed sugarcube.”>He shakes his head before you can start ushering him back to the house.>”No no, I’m not sick, I’m just…”>He stopped again, just short of telling you what was going on.>Because you’re very certain now that something is going on with him.>It seems like he wants to say something, but he’s still a little unsure about really opening up.>Something is definitely on his mind.>His eyes are constantly in motion, like he’s reading an invisible book.>You take a deep breath.>You don’t want to push him too hard, he’s probably just a little nervous about the situation.>Anon told you before he didn’t have a whole lot of friends even back home.>He probably ain’t used to opening himself up to folks, and just needs some gentle encouragement.>You sit down on the ground, and give him a tender smile.
>>42396238“Hey, what’s eatin’ at ya sugarcube?”>He finally locks eyes with you again instead of averting his gaze.>Seems like you might be getting through to him.>He stares for a moment, before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.>He sighs.>”I’ve… been here a while now.”>He pauses for a moment, drumming his fingers against his leg.>You stay quiet, patiently letting him gather his thoughts and find the words he wants to say.>”I’ve just been thinking – there’s all kinds of things that could be happening back home, and I have no way of knowing about any of it.”>You breathe a silent sigh of relief as you realize what’s going on with him.>Anon’s just getting a little homesick, that’s all.>All this worryin’ and fretting you were doing, and this was all there was to it.>Now you just wished you’d said something sooner.>Being off alone to fret like this ain’t gonna help him at all, he needs to get it off his chest.>”Something terrible could’ve happened, and I’m just… here, no idea about anything. Hell, there’s no way for me to even tell my family how I’m doing.”>He starts pacing back and forth a bit, staring off into the orchard.>“I could be the last human, you know? Everyone else could be dead as far as I know. My species could be extinct, and I’m the soul surviving member.”>Your taken aback by that last bit.>That’s… not quite what you were expecting to hear.>It makes some sense though, heck, you’d be worried sick about your family if you were stuck on a different world too.>Poor thing, no wonder he was being so distant.
>>42396244>”There could have been some war, or a natural disaster, or maybe a meteor’s hit the planet and killed everyone, and I’m the only survivor because I was here when it happened.”>His tone is getting increasingly agitated the more he goes on.>He must’ve been brooding on these things for a while.>”I might be the last of my kind. Isn’t that kinda fucked?”>He chuckles a bit, but there was zero happiness in it.>It was an empty, nervous laugh.>That knot of worry was forming up in your stomach again.“Anon?”>He doesn’t even acknowledge you, just keeps staring off as more of his fears work their way through his head.>”My whole species, it’s history, cultures, everything it ever was and everything it ever could be, all of it just… gone.”>He brings his hand to his mouth for a moment, his breathing getting more strained.>You had no idea he was having these types of thoughts.>All this time you’d been teaching him about Ponyville and farm life, and he’s been nursing these ideas in the back of his mind.>He’d been doing such a good job staying calm and collected this whole time that you’d barely even thought about how stressful this all must be for him.“Anon, hey…”>He shakes his head again, running his hand through his mane.>“My home, my country, my family, everything I ever knew just fucking gone and I’m…”>His voice breaks, and you’re sure you saw his shoulders heave a little.>Anon starts anxiously touching at his face.>“I-I-I just… need to… f-fuck man…”>He collapses to the ground, and your heart leaps into your throat.“Anon!”>You immediately jump back up onto your hooves and rush over to him.
>>42396249>In a sitting position like this, his head only came up to just about withers height.>You circle around him, draping your head across his shoulders and pushing your body down against his in an attempt to calm him.“Hey, hey – look at me sug.”>A choked sound emanated from him in response.>You circle back around to his front so you can face him more properly.>He has his hand clenched in his teeth, biting into it in an attempt to keep himself from completely breaking down.>You gently took the opposite side of his hand in your mouth, and try to pry it out.>He groans as you attempt to pull his hand from his jaw.>Letting go, you level your eyes with his.“Stop Anon, please. Don’t hurt yourself like this.”>Taking his hand in your mouth again, you gently tug at it.>After a moment, he hesitantly relaxes his jaw, releasing his hand from the grip of his teeth.>As you let his hand go, you remember the other week when Anon was showing you how his kind hugged eachother.>You put your hooves over his shoulders, and try to pull him against yourself.>You keep pushing into him, and he finally seems to catch on, wrapping his arms around you and burying his face into the fur of your shoulder.>You lean down and rub your face against the sides and back of his head.“There you go. It’s gonna be okay hon, you’re okay.”>Now that you’re touching, you can feel just how erratic and heavy his breathing is.>A damp spot is forming on your shoulder where he was heaving.>You try to gently rub on his shoulders with your hooves and fetlocks.>You start mentally kicking yourself for letting it get this bad.>How could you have not noticed sooner?>Anon ain’t like some other ponies, he’s a level headed fella.>He ain’t the type to just suddenly start breaking down for no reason, this stress must’ve been building up in him for a while.>There must have been signs before that you missed, just like there were earlier today.
>>42396252>For the time being at least, the best course of action is to just let Anon get the feelings out.>You can talk to him more when he isn’t having a crisis.>But right now – he just needs to feel that somepony is here for him.>The minutes tick by as you sit there with Anon, embracing each other as he comes down from the emotional turmoil her just endured.>You keep nuzzling Anon’s neck as his breathing slowly steadies.>His breathing eventually reaches a slower, more controlled pace.>You feel him shifting in your hooves, and Anon lifts his face from your shoulder just a bit.>”I’m sorry.”>His voice sounds breathy, exhausted.>…Sorry?>Sorry?!>What in tarnation is he apologizing to you for?!“Don’t.”>Your voice is firm, but gentle.>You slide your muzzle by his ear.“Anon, there ain’t nothin’ for you to be sorry for.”>He huffs a bit on your shoulder, like he was silently laughing.>”I’m fucking losing it right now.”>You grip his shoulders a bit harder.“So? Way I see it, you’ve got some dang big reasons to be upset. It’s a miracle you’re holdin’ together as much as you are.”>You rest your head on top of his.“I’m the one who should be sayin’ sorry, ‘Non. I should’ve noticed how stressed out you were and said somethin’ so much sooner than I did. You never would’a gotten this bad if I’d payed more attention to ya.”>He nuzzles his face into your neck.>”No, it’s not your fault, I’m just…”>He sighs.>”It’s just been so hard. Back home, I’d never even left the country. I’ve never really been anywhere else before, never had to adapt to an entirely new culture.>He sniffles, wiping his eyes with his hand.>”And now here I am, trying to live with an entirely different species. Everything’s so different here. There’s so much to learn and get used to and I – it just feels like so much, too much.”
>>42396256>”It feels like almost everyone I talk to is afraid of me, and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do about it – what I even can do about it.”>Anon had been avoiding going into town lately, even with you.>Lotta folks have been actin’ like they did with Zecora around him.>You knew it must’ve been difficult, but you didn’t realize everypony being nervous about him was affecting him this much.>He exhales a shaky sigh.>”I just feel so lost.”>He buries his face into your shoulder.>”I don’t know what to do, Applejack.”>It feels like a knife just stabbed into your barrel.>There’s such a sense of despair in his words.>He sounds so confused and scared, it just breaks your heart.“Anon?”>You take a deep breath, keeping your own emotions in check for his sake.“I’m so sorry you’re goin’ through this, Anon. I can hardly even imagine how awful it must be. Never bein’ able to see your home or family again… it’s just awful, and I honestly don’t think I could do it if I was in your hooves.”>You lift his head up so it rests underneath your throat again.”Nopony deserves to suffer like that, ‘specially not you, ‘Non.”>He hugs you a little bit tighter.>You move your hooves off his shoulders, and grip his head between them.>You position his head so you can look him face to face again.>His eyes are red and misty.“But I promise you Anon – I’m here to help you however I can.”>You press your forehead into his, putting your faces close enough to share breath.“I don’t care what other ponies say or think about you, you’re my friend ‘Non, and an honorary Apple no matter how different ya are from us.”>His breaths are getting slower and deeper“I’m willin’ to do what ever it takes to help you feel welcome here, and give you a place you can belong again.”>Anon closes his eyes, taking a deep breath before moving his arms further up your neck, and giving a more gentle hug.>”Thank you.”>His voice is barely a whisper, but you can still hear the gratitude in it.>You both smile.
>>42396262>You sit there just a little while longer, wanting to make sure Anon had fully calmed down.>When Anon starts rubbing your coat, you take it as the sign he’s closer back to his usual self again.“You feelin’ better, sugarcube?”>He releases you from his grip, and leans back.>”Better, yea. I think… I’ll be alright.”>He straightens out his mane a bit, and stands back on his feet.>”Should probably get back to work, right?”>He chuckles a bit, but you can tell he’s still a little anxious.>He may be calmed down, but you still don’t feel quite comfortable leaving him all alone for the moment.>Anon’s in a real vulnerable state, and it probably ain’t gonna take much to send him into another breakdown like that.“Actually, I want you to come and hang out with me the rest of the day hon. I don’t think bein’ alone is gonna do you any good.”>He glances over at the axe and pile of logs.>”But I haven’t finished chopping the wood yet.”>You stare up at him blankly, trying to process what he just said.>You’d be laughing right now if you weren’t so preoccupied with concern for Anon’s state of mind.>Even now, he’s still got his mind set on finishing his share of the chores>He’s certainly dedicated.“Anon – I don’t give a darn about the wood. You can easily finish that some other time. Right now, I care a whole lot more about makin’ sure you’re doin’ alright.”>He seems surprised by you telling him to leave it for the day, looking back and forth between you and the wood pile a couple times.>”Are you sure?”>You reached up, and hook your hoof around his hand.“I’m sure. What you need is a bit of quality time with a good friend, not more time spent alone brooding on your thoughts.>You give him a big smile.“Now c’mon. You can help me wrap up with my chores, then we can spend the rest of the day relaxin’ together.”>He smiles wistfully.>”Sounds… nice.”
>>42396266>As you walk together, your mind drifts towards ways of helping Anon feel more at home here.>Because this is his home now, and you’re gonna make dang sure he feels it.>Maybe there was something you could get him, to remind him of his old home and help him feel more normal?>Or maybe… something you could make him?>Anon’s diet is a bit different from a ponies, one of the first things you had to learn pretty quick was the kind of food he needed to eat, and what he couldn’t.>A few weeks ago, you asked Anon what sort of food he used to eat back home.>One of the things he told you about, was a pretty simple soup recipe his ma used to make all the time when he was just a colt.>It was only a few ingredients, and most of them were vegetables anyway.>You smile as you realize how easy it would be to make.>You look back at Anon.>He’s calmed down, but he’s still definitely a little lost in thought.>He’s probably trying to think up ways to cope with the situation himself.>Maybe a little taste of home is just the thing he needs.>That settles it then – you’re making that soup for Anon.>You don’t know what Granny planned on cooking today, but there’s gonna be a change of plans.>Cause you’ve already decided what’s for supper tonight.
>>42396274And paste.https://ponepaste.org/11233Always remember to download pastes folks, the more copies out there, the better.This one, I wanted to expand on the relationship between Anon and AJ, and give a bit of focus to her nurturing nature. I really oughta do one with Applebloom too, and get some more interactions with Anon and the rest of the Apple family.
>>42395644I do have an idea for a clop story where AJ competes in a rodeo and then her and Anon 'celebrate' after she wins.>>42395799I'll see if I can work that into something. My own headcanon is that she sells them to butchers for making pet food with, and she probably has a deal set up where she gets some of the meat too. Winona's gotta be eating something.
Buccaneer anon i know you browse these threads im not even an apple fag but dear god u need to write moreso far you have 2 back to back BANGER greens
>>42397290>dear god u need to write moreYea, I know I do, kek. The main thing is I actually keep a ton of stuff going at the same time that I then bounce between so I don't get burned out. I write a fair bit, It's just all divided among like 20 different stories.Picrel is my very loosely organized story folder. I basically work on all of these simultaneously, locking in on which ever one I'm feeling the strongest for at the moment. I have one of those Anon attempts suicide stories sitting at 10k words currently. All in all, I have about 35 stories sitting here alone, not even counting my non-FIM stuff I do. So I 'm definitely sitting on a lot of ideas, it's just pinning one down and getting it out that I'm bad at.
>>42397321>he's able to bounce around to keep the momentumholy based applefag work ethic is something else
>>42397321>Howsyoursexlife>Salt Lickare they comedy stories? >Mintbased
>>42397327I found it's the secret to avoid burnout on writing. When I get tired of one thing, I put it down and switch to something that has my interest more, then come back to the first thing when the ideas are flowing more again. The upside is I never get burnout. The downside is I have stuff that's still sitting in a WIP folder since 2020. Most of that stuff is personal projects though, stuff I write solely for my own entertainment and so I don't really feel pressed to work on them unless I really feel like it. My first CYOA took like a year to make just cause I would sit down and crack out a page and a half in a single night, and then wouldn't touch it again for 3 months, before cracking out another page on another bender.
>>42397338>are they comedy stories?Yea, those ones are more light hearted. Salt lick is about AJ finding out Anon has salt in his sweat, and Howsyoursexlife(WIP title, that's why there's no spaces) is about the rest of the mane 6 asking AJ about her sex life with Anon. Mainly wanting to know what his penis looks like, and AJ struggling to describe it.And I have been quite enjoying Linux. Some games have become tricker to play, but I've been figuring out the workarounds.
>>42397364>Salt lick is about AJ finding out Anon has salt in his sweatI thought it was about Anon giving "drugs" kek>LinuxGNU/Linux something something Stallmare
>>42397380>it was about Anon giving "drugs" kekWell... with the way Applejack reacts to it, that's not very far off.

Lots of crypto anti-Applejack sentiment being thrown around the board lately. Weird since Applejack is such a wholesome character. Came here to tell the applebros that I appreciate and like Applejack. She's absolute waifu material. Luna is my waifu, but no Anon can be wrong in choosing Applejack as their waifu.
>>42411628Has there been? I actually haven't seen any. There was a thread the other day where someone was asking why she was so unpopular, but the replies were mostly people who thought she was too underappreciated.
>>42410912Absolutely adorable.

Attention appulfriendsIf you are going to Mare Fair, pay close attention to what's on the charity auction (and make sure to bring a big suit case).
One of my favourite pone pics
>>42414664That is a cute appule. I like this one, it's a nice middle ground of realism and stylization.
>>42414513Oh boy, could it be? An Applejack themed lawn mower?
I wanna boop her snoot
>>42415325I love the toning on her muscles.
Morning bump.>>42415202Unfortunately, it's not practical in general.
Bump
>>42415202I would unironically buy an Applejack themed lawn mower.

One last bump for the night.
Brunch bump.>>42420263Whoa.
>>42420545
It's great to see that our gal is pretty popular in Asia, from time to time you can see Chinese, Japanese and I think some Korean artists making some pretty great Applejack pics
>>42420263Pregnant Applejack feels right. The story based on this was cute too.
>>42421192Asians can be pretty based. They know what's up.
She ain't letting you go anywhere.
>>42422727There needs to be more yandere Applejack. I'll have to try and think of something for making a green out of.
How the hell did this go to page 10 in less than an hour? Was there some spike in board activity in the middle of the night for no reason?
>>42422993Thanks, AJ. I'll keep that in mind
>>42422727I love love LOVE this picture!
Morning bump.>>42422727Hot.>>42422993Lol
>>42423759Appulfags are like us moonfags: small in number but loyal to our mare which means taking a break when she says we should.
>>42423759Milky Way spam. Many threads were kill
>>42424356In the middle of the night? For what reason?
>>42424640Ikr, I thought a bunch of ghosts came online because it was 3:00 AM or something, lol.
apul..
>>42424239I'm glad Moonfags and Appulfags have good relations. It's a bit of an odd alliance, but it seems to mesh pretty well. I like Luna, I wish she would play a bigger role in more HiE stories, along with Applejack. She has good potential chemistry with the human character.
>>42423904Lovely image of Anon and AJ. The best OTP.
>>42393790Hello hello /aj/It's >>42410188 # here, an anon suggested in the thread I should go around to other threads on the board to see if drawfags from said threads might be interested in taking part.So the idea that was discussed was Applejack with either Zergface or Saint Paul Harrell the Exalted to be the representatives of /k/. If this idea interests you or, feel free to jump on over and have a look.
Morning bump.>>42426570True.>>42426707Thanks for letting us know, anon!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHAAAW
>>42427026yerhaw
>>42427026>>42427366Applejack really needed to say yeehaw more in the show. She didn't do it enough.

>>42428829
>>42430599Oh, joy!
>>42429406So it would be by match four of final day this Sunday. Thank you and I'll buy some Royal Gala's and Braeburns today to celebrate. Just poke your head into the main thread to call dibs so folks know.Dealing with fallout from raids so just careful of the craters
>>42430599>>42430910Judging by that belly, she waited an awfully long time before taking that test.
During one of my latest ventures through Desu, I found an old Appul green that I figured might be of interest to fellow Applefags looking for some reading material. It's some old Silent Hill inspired cyoa, unfortunately unfinished, but after a brief overview does seem to contain some AnonxApplejack action, so I think it may be worth a read regardless.https://pastebin.com/EU35xucx

>>42441597Thank you for bump!
Not an Applefag, but a lot of my favorite episodes in the show are Apple-family-centric. Family Appreciation Day, Pinkie Apple Pie, Apple Family Reunion, Perfect Pear. You fags are gonna have some great in-laws in Equestria.
>>42442280Good taste. AJ and her family are some very fine individuals. Personally, I even like Somepony to Watch Over Me, despite that episodes usual reputation. I like how it shows off Applejack's nurturing and protective side, even if she goes a little overboard with it. She's just always so well intentioned.
>>42432378A great read! Good emotional stuff and a bunch of cute, loyal and loving apul.There were some parts that actually made me gasp, like when AJ suddenly did that Flutters thing, and then when the perspective was changed.
REMINDERApplejack's birthday is on October 28th! You better not forget!
>>42444032Is it actually? Do the mane 6 have canonical birthdays?
>>42444034Nope it's just some fanon crap on a wiki
>>42443255>like when AJ suddenly did that Flutters thingThe idea of AJ calling me a pervert makes me hard.
>>42444032Noted
>>42444049Not like there's a better alternative. Late October feels like it fits for her anyway.
>>42429406>>42429428Any updates, anon?
>>42445771There is an appul being drawn on the credits thread >>42445542
>>42445991Thank you!
>>42438146She is too adorable.
>>42444382Applejack probably prefers wholesome, but kinky, sex.
>>42446850I feel like she would almost definitely have a breeding kink. The type to leg lock you.
>>42446735She always is.
>>42400370Yeah there is this dude that keeps bringing up linux, he sounds underage, is 100% a newfag and probably doesn't seem to have all that much experience with linux either so, probably fell for /g/ propaganda or maybe started using it because of pewds
>>42447923>inb4 why is any of this a problem anonit's not, i just pointing out
>>42447927I'm just pointing it out* shit man
>>42448985Kind of her to show us her butt one last time before she gets eaten alive by a giant lion head>Captcha: AJ8R0
>10C'mon background hatfags
>>42449483Was busy, only just got here to drop off my daily bump.
>>42449001Nah, she kicked that chimera's ass. Lesson learned, don't threaten Applebloom in her presence.
>>42448036Anon delivered! Thanks, anon!
>>42451892nice!
>>42451234Applejack always looks good in leather.

Morning bump.>>42453024Need to hug.>>42453511Nice.
You're near the end, applefriends.
>>42455481nearing the end of writing this green more like it
>>42454551comf
>>42455934More appul greens are always good. The world can always use more good appul content.
>>42455934slight exaggeration - nearing the end of writing the first half, which i will now post. this is part of an RGRE project but it's mild apart from the premise, think sadie hawkins type stuff>The ancient oven’s dim glow spilled from its cracks and crevices, a faux sun in the wake of Luna’s new moon. Even devoid of burning candles, the kitchen was awash in its rich incandescence.>You sank to your knees in front of it and tilted the hatch open just enough to glimpse its volcanic innards, eyes blinking wildly as it exhaled in your face.>Within sat the object of your apprehension; three apple pies.>Such a casual description did them no justice, however.>They were /the/ apple pies - the storied dish of the Apple family lineage.>That revered recipe that had been around for hundreds of years before anyone on the farm had even begun to broach existence. /That/ sort of apple pie.>The ones whose crusts would hopefully, under your watchful eye, billow into a right and proper golden brown.>Satisfied for the time being, you let the oven door gently shut on its own, only to flinch when it flew back into place a bit harder than you had anticipated.>Nerves shot to high heaven, you stood and checked all around you to see if anyone had heard, but found yourself quite comfortably alone.>You propped your elbows up against the low countertop and hung your head, a tense exhale spilling forth and curling around your forearms.>Strained mutterings of the weight of your responsibility threatened to spill forth from your hanging lips, but before you could fully engage with the train of thought, you heard the front door open.>The din of mirth and laughter briefly echoed throughout the kitchen before the latch clicked shut, and a single pair of hoofsteps followed.>“Sugarcube?” Applejack called out from around the corner, floorboards settling underneath her as she made her way further in. “Y’still in here?”>A broad smile danced across your lips.“Yep,” you replied. “I’m in the kitchen!”>The oak flooring popped and groaned louder in response, the farmhouse seemingly eager to show its antiquity as she followed your voice.>She rounded the corner nonchalantly, beaming at you from under the brim of her stetson.>“Bonfire’s nice n’ tall,” she said as she nuzzled your side. “The only thing we’re missin’ is you.”>You snaked an arm around her and pulled her tightly against you, squeezing playfully a few times.“I’ll be out in just a bit, hon,” you said. “I just wanna make sure they’re perfect before everyone gets a piece.”>She cocked an eyebrow.>“The pies?”“Yeah.”>“They’ve got an hour left.”>She pointed at the mechanical timer perched on the edge of the counter, whose interface read as just under fifty eight minutes remaining.>You pursed your lips.“…A lot can happen in an hour.”
>>42457206>“A whole lot o’ nothin’, maybe,” she ribbed with a smile. “You’ve been in here all day - a watched pie never bakes, ya know.”>You sunk down to the floor with a sigh, head level with hers as she followed your lead.“I know, but it feels like it all needs to be perfect, with all your aunts and uncles and cousins being here this time.”>She shook her head, loose strands of her hair brushing lightly against your bare neck.>“I wouldn’t worry about any o’ that, Anon. They all know it’s your first time takin’ over for Granny. ‘Sides, all the other snacks you’ve been cookin’ up have been /mighty/ fine, if I do say so myself.”>With her forehoof, she traced small circles on her belly, licking her lips all the while as if to hammer her reassurances home.>The adorable display drew a hearty chuckle straight from your lungs, even as anxious as you were.“Glad you liked ‘em, shoog,” you breathed. “Made all of ‘em with you in mind.”>She cast a playful glance over at you, one eyebrow cocked as her gaze combed you over from head to toe.>“Is that right?”“Mhm. I mean, it’s hard to do it any other way when I’m already thinking about you all the time.”>Applejack’s head came to rest softly upon your shoulder as she nearly purred in approval.>You sank into her touch, delighted to be so wonderfully close to her as your breaths intertwined.>“You best save the butterin’ up ‘till after the reunion’s over, mister,” she murmured into your ear, poking you in the ribs with a free hoof. “You /know/ what time o’ year it is.”>You failed miserably at hiding the shiver that raced up your spine.“Hey, I didn’t insinuate anything like that,” you said as you threw your free hand up in mock surrender. “You’re the one getting all worked up over apple tarts.”“Oh, I’ll show you how tart an Apple can be.”>The blood that came to rest in your cheeks was nearly scalding - no doubt, she had rendered you naught more than a tomato with one hastily-formulated allusion.>She had always been bold during her season, to be sure, but to be so flagrantly sensual with company in such close proximity was new territory entirely.>…You were /really/ into it.>Knowing it wouldn’t be long before you had to rejoin the group, though, you battened down the proverbial hatches and sputtered out the first clean thought that surfaced in your mind.>Needless to say, it took a few moments.“Jeez, hon,” you said, unable to hide your flushed face. “What’s gotten into you?”>“Nothin’, sugarcube,” she replied before she gave your cheek a quick peck. “I just love you, that's all.”“Well, I love you, too.”>You planted your own kiss on her cheek, but held it firmly against her, humming loudly into her supple visage all the while. She wriggled helplessly against your embrace, giggles cascading into the sweet song of her carefree laughter.
>>42457207>“Quit it, Anon! Your stubble’s ticklin’ me!”>You dug in further, making sure to catch your five o-clock-shadow on the crick of her neck with every shake of your head - her naturally earthy, apple-laden scent was nearly inebriating.>She erupted into hysterics, hooves playfully pushing and batting against you for but a moment of relief from your relentless assault.>“/Ahem/.”>The two of you froze in place, all joviality dead in the water.>Slower than the turning of the seasons, you both craned your necks to peek just past the edge of the kitchen’s island.>Eyebrow aloft, her lips pursed in disappointment, the matriarch of the family tapped her hoof as judgement poured forth from her piercing gaze.>“S-Sorry, Granny,” Applejack said as the two of you untangled. “We were gonna come back out, but we got to talkin’, and…”>Mrs. Smith clicked her tongue before your beet-red marefriend could find the words she was desperately looking for.>“Ain’t nothin’ wrong with bein’ all flirty n’ lovey-dovey,” she chided. “But do the rest of it in /private/, ya hear? You’re plumb lucky Applebloom ain’t the one that found ya.”>You and Applejack scramble to dissuade the conclusion she’d arrived at, professing your innocence over each other.“Oh, no, Mrs. Smith, we didn’t-”>“It ain’t like that, Granny, we were just-”>“Oh, hooey,” she interrupted after a few moments. “Ya’ll forget I was your age, once. I ain’t upset - just get yourselves straightened out and get on out there.”>“What about the pies?” you asked before she could turn the corner again.>She nearly tripped as she came to a sudden halt and flashed you a sincere smile.>“Don’t ya worry about that none, Anon. I’ll let ya know when they’re ready.”>Without waiting for you to figure out how she’d do it without a timer, she disappeared once again, the porch door clicking shut being the only proof of her absence.>Years ago, you would have second guessed her assertion, but you knew better than to doubt her nearly supernatural sense for baking.>Really, your question was steeped in a need for reassurance more than anything else.>Reassurance that broached the limits of mere approval of your culinary skills, the ends of which you hadn’t yet figured out for yourself.>Puzzling as it was, you had no time to contemplate its depths; Applejack stirred beside you, rising to her hooves.>“Ya ready, sugarcube?” she asked, offering a hoof to help you stand.>You took it in your own hand and stood to your full height.“Let’s get minglin’.”>Side by side, the two of you rounded the corner and made your way over to the door, stopping just shy of it to don your ranch jacket.>With a ginger twist of the knob, the latch came free of its housing, and the insulation seal around the door peeled away from the frame as you threw it wide.
>>42457212>A rush of brisk air washed over you, carrying with it the smell of a fresh harvest.>The orchard, rendered red-gold by the throes of autumn, was picked clean of its bounty, not a speck of crimson to be found amongst its boundless canopies.>About forty yards ahead, in the middle of the clearing just in front of the barn, a sizable pyre sat, its flames lapping at the junction between earth and star-lined sky.>Wanton merriment filled the air, beset only by the interplay of wind tousling fallen leaves.>A group of fillies - and a colt or two - raced about without a care in the world, not a few of their fathers fawning over their nearly reckless abandon.>Most of the extended family, nearly uncountable in attendance, were scattered around at picnic tables, talking amongst themselves as they picked over what was left of the feast you had helped prepare.>You filed out onto the porch and leaned against an oak pillar under the awning, observing the festivities with a growing smile.>“Somethin’ on your mind, Anon?” your marefriend asked as she joined your side.>“Not really,” you replied, both of you leaving the wooden steps behind with a slow and steady stride. “Just… appreciative.”>“Bit for your thoughts?”>Nostalgia bade you sigh.“My folks used to have gatherings a lot like this one. Big turnout, good food, hanging out late into the night… It reminds me of when I was a kid.”>She smiled as she looked up at you.>“Well, I’m glad we could give ya a little slice o’ home, sugarcube.”“It’s more than that, honestly. I feel like-”>“/Anon!!!/”>A shrill cry, all too familiar, tore you from your musings.>Your gaze fell on a tiny blur that had broken away from the greater crowd of fillies at play as she galloped up the hill toward you.>Even shrouded in shadows cast by the bonfire as she was, the dim light of a waning gibbous made clear who could be so excited to see you.“Bloom!”>You practically fell into a crouch, arms thrown wide as she barreled straight toward you.>A few feet away, she leapt, landing in your arms and pushing you onto your butt - it was easy to forget just how big she’d gotten, even just in the five years you had lived in Equestria.>Every squeeze you gave her, she met in kind with her own. Someday, she’d be strong enough to outdo you.>“Mac n’ I saved ya some cheese grits if ya want any,” she said as she untucked her head from your chest to look up at you.“Well, thank you kindly. You left some room for dessert, right, munchkin?”>She giggled at the title she’d earned over the years.>“Yep!”>Her hoof cupped her lips as she leaned in to whisper.>“I even let Hayseed have my peas so I could have extra.”>“I /heard/ that,” AJ chimed in, irked. “What’d I tell ya about skimpin’ on your greens?”>Apple Bloom threw her head back and groaned.
>>42457222>“That I wouldn’t get any pie,” she began, “but that ain’t fair, sis! Cousin Red’s pea salad was all mushy this year.”>You slyly shared a knowing glance with AJ; the little rascal spoke the truth, but that was besides the point.>“That don’t mean you can just leave out the most important part o’ dinner. Ya didn’t like any o’ the other veggies that were on the table?”>The filly in your arms shook her head resolutely.>“Mm-mm. C’mon, sis, just let me do it this one time! I wanna have plenty o’ room if Anon’s pie is good. /Pleeeeeease/?”>Eyes welling with crocodile tears, she stuck out her bottom lip at her sister in a pout that could spur Celestia to pardon even the most heinous of war crimes.>But AJ had hardened to such a display over years of helping raise the filly, and as her lips pursed in defiance of her sister’s pleas, you knew there was only one thing you could justifiably do.>Recalling past memories of begging your parents for ice cream in the dog days of summer, you whipped out your own weapons-grade mopeyness; not quite the nuclear option like Apple Bloom’s, but a force all its own.>Aimed straight at your Applejack, even four long years together with you couldn’t possibly have prepared her for the combined might of Equestria’s pickiest eaters.>Her resolve wavered, a delightful little smirk upon her lips as she closed her eyes and shook her head at the two of you.>“…Alright, /fine/,” she capitulated. “But just this once, ya hear? And you’re eatin’ extra veggies for tomorrow’s supper.”>“/Yay/!” Apple Bloom turned to you and cheered at the top of her lungs right into your ear. “Hey Anon, can I ride on your shoulders for a bit?”>Ringing though your brain may have been, you couldn’t hide your smile.“Long as you don’t blow my eardrums out again, munchkin.”>“I won’t, I promise!”>With your terms met, you held your right arm out as she grabbed hold and clambered up onto your shoulders with practiced haste. She hugged your head from behind, careful not to cover your eyes with her forehooves.>You held onto her hind legs as you stood to your full height, Bloom giggling all the while.“This is Captain Anonymous speaking,” you declared, adopting a pilot’s tone. “All systems are primed and ready for takeoff.”>You turned to Applejack, who held back her own fit of laughter as you raised an eyebrow in her direction.“Captain Anonymous to Ground Control - how’s the weather lookin’, sweet thing?”>She gestured to the firelit field downhill with a gentle jerk of her neck.>“Fair winds, sugarcube.”>With a nod of your head, you thanked your lovely air traffic coordinator.“Then we have /liftoff/!”>You sprang into action, barreling down the hill at breakneck speed. Apple Bloom screeched in excitement as she spread her forehooves wide to catch as much fall air as she could.https://ponepaste.org/10543more soon!
>>42457230Lovely stuff. always happy to see Applejack related stories.
Morning bump.>>42457230Thanks, anon!
>>42457755>applefags too busy working on the farm to bump their threadsad.
>>42458358Someone's gotta be her slave, anon
Beavers?
She ate a horrible apple pie.
>>42459396I can't believe she died just like her parents
>>42459424So sad.
Applejack sensual hoof massage
>>42458358Eh, I think Applejack would approve.
>>42458958Kek. The battle with the giant racoon must have been epic.
>>42460278I bet AJ gives nice kisses.
>>42457230Very comfy and cute green! Great stuff!
>>42461737She takin' a big bite.
Raise this barn, raise this barn One, two, three, four Together, we can raise this barn One, two, three, four Up, up, up, go the beams Hammer those joints, work in teams Turn 'em round quick by the right elbow Grab a new partner, here we go
>>42463433Applejack is probably the best of the mane 6 at turning work into something fun.
>>42429293She needed this much mane in the show.
>>42464318That's about what it is at, isn't it?
>>42464355Not quite. We're talking more volume and more length.
>>42464371Eh, it's only a tad bit longer, and the volume looks pretty close. I'm only just now realizing how poofy her tail is.
God, I love Aussie Applejack
>>42464383Well, it's long enough to cover an eye and go around the ears.
>>42464399Aussie is kinda like the southern version of an English accent, so it's surprisingly fitting.
>>42464399I'd watch aussie football with her
>>42465077She's so huggable.
>>42468252One kinda neat thing EQG did is confirm the ponies are indeed physically distinct in their shape from earth horses.
Despite being the element of honesty, Applejack finds it difficult to be straightforward about her desires, and she drops broad hints or sets you up for risqé situations alone with her. But she is also patient, and she invests the time to wear down your resistance and give in to her advances. Her strength shows in her lovemaking, along with her tenderness. It's a wild ride you won't soon forget.
>>42469788Applejack certainly has a lot more insecurities than most people give her credit for. She'd probably be a bit bashful, at least at first. But once she feels comfortable with you, there's close to nothing that will make her change her mind about her choice.
>>42469788It's not like she has anyone to ask about these romantic things, Granny starts rambling about how things were better when marriages were arranged and all her friends are single for a phletora of reasons
>>42472132Abysmal shit taste, are you a woman or something?
>>42472101>Applejack awkwardly tries to seduce you by copying what she's read in romance books she quietly borrowed from Rarity
>>42472929That sounds more like a Twilight thing, Rarity would dress her up on the latest trend in fashion, which just happens to be hilariously impractical dresses and overtly complicated manecuts, just for Applejack to either fall in the water while trying to call Anon or to rip out the dress and destroy her manecut by having to deal with some farm emergency
I like the look of this AJ. It's a good take on realistic ponies.
>>42474368Also, I love the way it has Macintosh licking her mane as they lay together. I love the ponies doing horsy things like that, it's so cute.
>>42475235Evening bump.
>>42468252Horses are cute.
>>42476025Thank you, AJ.
>>42468252>>42476025Ever since I started watching MLP, youtube suddenly started putting horse videos in my recommended for no reason. I have since come to find horses much cuter after seeing a bunch of videos of them doing goofy shit.
>>42477743Cute, but a little too human in anatomy. Needs more pony.
>>42475235A cat is fine too
Growing up seeing her brother's "assets", she has become quite the size queen. Only the largest and most virile horsecocks can satisfy her.
>>42478261"WAKE UP RAINBOW!"
>>42482779Good lord I would let this mare do anything to me
>>42482795No napping allowed here, not on her watch.
>>42478261Love the way AJ's rear end looks here.
Just watched the pear episode. This stupid cartoon hasn't actually moved me until pear butter sang that shit was beautiful
Morning bump.>>42484220Glad you like the episode anon
>>42484362ye, reminded me of a girl i loved who liked to sing to me.
>>42484220At least for me this episode established that this man (reborn as a Equestrian Colt after death in Generations) is AJ's grampa from mother's side.
>>42484391Q is very nice to award star fleet's heroes with a peaceful next life
>>42484220It's how beautiful their romance is and how much they really, truly love each other that tears me up inside every time.Such an injustice.
>>42484391>Applejack is the granddaughter of Captain Kirk's reincarnationOh that means she's DEFINITELY down to get it on with an alien. It's in her blood.
>>42485634Oh definitely. The idea of someone loving you that much they express it in song is moving, giwtwm
>>42487729
>page 10 in 3 hoursjesus.
>>42488764Her name is not that anymore stupid ricecracker.Same bloodline.
>>42488764Must be a faster day.
>>42484220Everyone praises this episode for a good reason, and it's not just because it's a shiny bright spot in a sea of mediocrity. I remember when it premiered, didn't expect anything from reading the synopsis but damn it, they nailed it
>>42484220>be me>watch that episode about Fluttershy's IWTCIRD brother and shitty pushover parents>"this sucks, are other parents as bad as Flutter's?">skip to RD's parents episode>"lol great episode, they are perfect">watch the perfect pear>feelsguy.png>reach S7>get to the perfect pear while reading this very thread>feelsguyagain.pngJesus
>>42491368o7
>>42491368Surprised this is still up. There's a version with her winking, but that definitely wouldn't be blue board appropriate.
>>42492118Nvm, it's gone now. Damn I wish this wasn't a blue board.
IWTCIAJ
Finished an applehat tonightBased this on a piece I saw many years ago, but I can never find it. Anyone know or have the original?
>>42476998Anon...
>>42493749I've seen this before, actually. I find it kind of funny. This horse basically just becoming a serial killer for no reason, lol. I wonder what the psychological training was.
>>42493734This one by Tex?
>>42493758oh hell yeah, thanks dude
>>42493734Was it this one?
>>42493767>>42493762>>42493758Oops, beat me to it.
>>42493767Thanks anon!
Morning bump.>>42493632>>42493734Thanks!
>>42493734It's a very good version, great job
>>42495376Facts.
>>42496783the cutest
>>42497377Definitely.
>>42497536Imagine Applejack teaching you how to run a garden.
https://u.pone.rs/nlvywggo.png
>>42499414Based Mkog, I'll be sleeping very well tonight.Good night bump
>>42499473Snuggling in the barn would be so comfy.
>Page 8 in less than an hourDamn, that was sudden.
had a dream of turning into applejackwhat does it mean?
>>42500997Getting bucked by Applejack is but a small price to pay
>>42500883That you should probably stay away from ptfg?Also, have an apple.
Cute mares shouldn't be on page 10
>>42501494seconded
>>42501494I like to imagine Applejack has a thicker coat than other ponies. Not as much time to get trims when she's working the farm.
Back to page 1 with you.
>>42504693>big mac's reactionlol'd. That'd be a good reaction image.
>>42504693>>42505538It may be a cliche, but I can't help but love it in an HiE romance story where BigMac walks in on Applejack and Anon/the human fooling around with each other. I never get sick of the reaction.
>>42502674but then she would overheat faster. something a working mare would probably try and avoid at all costs
>>42505635I'm sure she's used to it. Besides, maybe summers in Equestria are very temperate.
>>42505598it be funnier if AJ has the Human roleplay as her..or something
>42505598>HiE romanceHoly shit taste, fucking pleb.
>>42505724It's unironically better written than the vast majority of shipfags stories.
>42505753>anon shit taste still spews shitCan't believe a share a thread with somefag like you.
>>42505682You mean like he wears her hat and pretends to be country while she does her Apple Jewel persona?
>>42506092You do understand this is a waifufag thread, right? There was literally an Anon and AJ greentext right at the start of the thread.
>>42506110yes. but also he wears a full on EQG applejack outfit made by rarity for a 'nightmare night costume'
>>42505724>/ptg/tranny copeleave
>>42506685>HiEtroon this butthurtGo dilate somewhere else, tranny.
>>42507349>wants to be something he isn't>call others tranniesunhinged tranny delusion
>>42507657>all of that projectionHiEtroons are really insecure LMAO no wonder why they troon out fast
do not engage. simply love apple
>>42507731I want my endless bickering with another anon calling each other slurs over having a different opinion and you will enjoy it
>>42508293Bathing with Applejack would be nice.
>>42393790
>>42509687Cute sisterly bonding moment.
>>42509693They are the best pair of sisters and no one can disprove such a claim
>>42509703Applebloom is lucky having a big sister like AJ. It seems like a pretty ideal sibling relationship.
>>42510150Ponies are cute when their horse instincts kick in.
>>42510150What is that supposed to be anyway? A bag? Anon's fingers?
>>42511414I assume a chip bag.
>>42511414it's your mouth in my cock
>>42512266Applejack is actually pretty open minded about what fruits she enjoys, unlike some other mares.
>>42510864She looks good in a collar.
