Always had a soft spot for the apple mare.She got shafted by the writers.
New green, was going to post last thread, but decided to wait since it was close to bump limit. Here it is for the fresh thread.>”Now, you’re sure you’re comfortable with this, sugarcube?”>You see AJ’s reflection glancing at you from the mirror as she fills the tub.>There’s been a lot of culture shocks that you’ve been trying to get used to living here, and this is just the latest one.>Apparently, it’s pretty common here for ponies to bathe together in pairs or groups, especially among earth ponies.>Guess the lack of hands makes washing a bit harder.>You’ve been washing by yourself so far, but you finally decided to try it out with Applejack.>She made it an open offer that you could try ‘the earth pony way’ with her whenever you felt like it, but she hasn’t been pressing you into doing it.>Still, you feel better off adopting the local customs as much as you can.>You toss your shirt into the corner where your boots were already resting“I’m sure. I’m more comfortable trying this with you than anyone else.”>You unbuckle your belt and start working your pants off.“Besides, you’ve seen me naked already anyway. Not like there’s really much point in getting all bashful around you.”>She chuckles a bit.>”Alright, I just wanna make sure.”>She turns her focus back to filling the the bathtub you as you strip away your lower garments.>Applejack thought your hangups about being naked around others was a little silly at first, but between your anatomical and cultural differences, she’s been very understanding.>She’s done a lot to accommodate you, you really can’t thank her enough for it.>Throwing your pants into the corner, you start inspecting your physique in the mirror while Applejack is finishing up.>You’ve gotten in good shape working for AJ.>It feels good seeing how much more built and toned you are now.>You weren’t exactly in terrible shape before, but you’re certainly living a much healthier lifestyle out here.
>>42913025>You do however wince a bit at the gnarly scars that now occupy a notable portion of your upper body.>The Everfree was not kind to you for the weeks you had to spend in there.>Unlike animals on earth, the lack of humans here meant that the wildlife evolved with no sense of fear towards you.>As a result, they had few qualms about trying to have you for dinner.>You’ve been trying to keep them covered up as much as possible around the ponies.>As far as you know, Applejack and her family are the only ones who know about how badly marred up you are.>The rest of the ponies here already find you freaky enough as is, there’s no way any of them would ever stop being scared of you if you were walking around showing off these scars all the time.>They’d probably think your some manic pit fighter who wrestles violent animals for fun or something.>Claw marks on your shoulders, gashes from when you’d be violently thrown into trees.>You take your gaze away from the mirror, and look down at one of your arms.>There’s remnants of healed bite marks all over your forearm.>One of those wooden wolves had pounced on you.>You shoved your arm straight into its maw in a desperate attempt to keep the thing from clamping down on your throat instead.>Laying there, slamming your fist into its head as it used your arm like a chew toy.>You truly thought you were going to lose a limb in that moment.>It’s probably a small miracle your arm survived pretty much intact aside from the scars.>Hell, it’s a miracle you didn’t die of a raging infection from all the cuts and scrapes you got out there.>You can hardly remember most of the encounters, truth be told.>You know you tussled with quite a few predators, but between the fear and the adrenaline, nearly all but the most harrowing encounters were an indistinct blur in your mind.>”Heya, ‘Non?”“Mhm?”>”I just wanted you to know – I really respect you tryin’ so hard to adapt to the way we do things ‘round here.”>You start twisting around to look at your reflection from different angles.
>>42913029>”Especially stuff like this, since I know you find it a little awkward. I’m just real proud of you for makin’ as much of an effort as ya are. I know plenty of folks who wouldn’t be tryin’ nearly as hard as you are if they were in your hooves.”>Your lips curl into a slight smile at Applejack’s words.>You aren’t sure what you’d do if it weren’t for her.“Thanks AJ. I’m just glad you’ve been willing to help me out.”>Turning to the side, you feel a bit shorter of breath as your eyes scroll over the largest of the scars.>It was long and jagged, starting a bit on your back and wrapping around your waist.>This was the one that came the closest to killing you.>You trace your finger along the path of the scar tissue, vividly reliving the memory as you do so.>You’d just finished bathing in a small stream you had found, and were about to start redressing.>Being ambushed by one of those lion-scorpion things – manticores, Applejack called them>The hot, burning sting of the manticore’s claw rending through your flesh – like a jagged cleaver carving though a pig carcass.>Slamming your elbow straight into its eye in your blind panic, before diving for your pants to grab your pocket knife.>It pounced on top of you at some point, and you just started stabbing it.>Over and over and over.>You don’t even know when it died.>In your terrified frenzy, you hadn’t stopped stabbing until it’s belly and throat were torn to shreds.>Nothing but crimsoned flesh and sinew, dangling like red ribbons off of scratched up bones.>All the blood… so much blood.>Both yours and its.>All over your hands and face, in your hair, dripping from your side.>No bandages, no dressing, nothing to stop the bleeding but your shirt.>Tearing vines from the trees as you stumbled through the woods in a blind panic, sloppily tying them around yourself in an attempt to apply more pressure to the wound.>You’re lucky to still be alive.>And if you hadn’t stumbled into Applejack’s orchard to die, you wouldn’t be.
>>42913031
>>42913032>”Anon?”>Applejack’s voice startles you, ripping you from your reminiscing.>You inhale sharply, suddenly feeling a bit light-headed, and quickly turn around to find her looking up at you with visible concern.>You realize now that spacing out while staring at your reflection in the mirror probably makes you look at least a little crazy.>”You were breathin’ awful heavy sug, are you okay?”>You force your lips into a smile.“Fine, sorry – just got a little lost in thought.”>Her eyes move down your torso, settling on your waist.>Your arm is flexing, and you realize that you’ve been tightly pressing your hand into your side where the scar is.>You awkwardly move your shaking hand behind your back, trying to force your muscles to relax as much as you can.“Finished filling the tub?”>You try your best to change the subject, attempting to calm the trembling in your limbs, though the slight warble in your voice betrays your true state of mind.>Your heart feels like it’s bulging out your chest with how hard it’s pounding.>”Yea, but–““Great, guess we should hop in then, right?”>You start striding over, eager to just get off your feet and catch your breath.>As you come up to the tub, Applejack steps in to intersect you.>She places her hoof on your hip, stopping you in your tracks.>”Hey, hey – just slow down, sugarcube. Everything’s okay.”>Her voice is tender, soothing.>Just hearing her talk makes you feel relaxed.>”Just breathe deep, nice ‘n easy.”>You do as she says, taking a deep breath.>It’s shakier than you’d intended.>The scent of soap fills your nostrils.>It smells like AJ and her family.>Makes sense, they probably all bathe with it.>You like the smell, something about it is just… comforting.>Your heart is starting to slow down to a normal pace again.>You can feel Applejack’s breath against your skin with how close she is to you.>Her nose grazes your skin, and she gently nuzzles the scar that manticore left you with.>”It’s okay hon, you’re someplace safe now. Ain’t nothin’ gonna hurt you ‘round here.”>You exhale, letting the relaxation wash over you.>She’s right, you have nothing to worry about, what are you getting so worked up over?>It’s not like the scarring disfigured your face, or crippled you.>You’re acting ridiculous.“I’m sorry, I jus–>She shushes you before you can continue.>”Don’t apologize, ain’t no need for it.”
>>42913035>She rubs her hoof on your leg reassuringly.>Between taking care of her family, you, and acting as your self-appointed guide to this place, Applejack has the patience of a saint.>There probably aren’t very many other ponies who would be so doting on you.>You run your hand through her mane, your shaking now gone.“Thanks, AJ.”>She smiles up at you, and steps aside again to let you pass.>”Since you’re a might bigger than me, it’s probably better if you get in first. Be a bit easier for ya to settle in there.”>You nod in agreement, and step up to the tub.>You step over the sides and sink down into the warm, soapy water.>As you recline back with a sigh, Applejack comes up over the edge, and settles herself opposite of you.>Despite most things here being a little small for your size, bathtubs were one of the few exceptions.>Since the communal bathing thing was normal here, most tubs were made to fit multiple ponies, and with the fairly high sides, the water comes up to your shoulders when you just sit normally.>”So, what do ya think?”>You look up at AJ.“It’s nice. Actually, your tubs are a lot bigger than most ones back home are.”>She looks at you with an expression of mild surprise.>”Really? Shucks, I figured y’all would build everything bigger than we do.”>You cup the water in your hands, pouring it over your head as you talk.“Most tubs are only really meant for one person sitting in it, and these days they’re usually only about chest high-ish when you’re sitting in them.”>She hums thoughtfully.>”I guess ya are a lot smaller when you’re just sittin’ like this.>She shuffles closer to you, and nuzzles the top of your head.>”Ain’t too often I get to see you from this angle.”>You can practically hear the grin in her voice.>You look up at her with your own little smile.“Enjoying the view?”>She giggles and nods her head at you.>”You know it.”>She leans down, laying her head your shoulder.“Makes it a lot easier to hug ya properly too.”>Your arms slide around her barrel, and you relish in the closeness as you gently squeeze her.>It’s like there’s an electric current running though your body during moments like this.>You could get used to this.>Frankly, you probably should be trying to hug ponies more often.>It can’t be good for your mental health, having so little contact for so long.>Applejack’s been a lot more keen on how you’re feeling lately ever since you almost lost it in the orchard.>It’s nice, knowing someone actually cares so much.>”Ready to get to washin, ‘Non?”>You pull away from each other.“Yea, let’s do it.”
>>42913037>”I was thinkin’ I could wash your mane and let you do the rest of your own washin’, since you were a might shy about goin’ through with this.”>You grab the shampoo off the shelf for AJ, since it’s a bit easier for you than for her.>”How ‘bout I wash you first, then you can do me next?”>You nod your head.“Sure, that works.”>She takes the bottle into her mouth.>It’s no wonder ponies like to bathe together.>Can’t exactly reach very many places with a bar of soap in your mouth.>You close your eyes as she squirts the shampoo into your hair.>The last time someone else washed your hair for you was probably when you were just a kid.>It feels strange, having someone do it now as an adult.>You’re still not entirely sure how she’s going to do this without hands.>”Alright, now you just let me know if I’m bein’ too rough, ya hear?”“I will.”>You relax your muscles as Applejack brings her hooves down on your head, rubbing gentle circles on your scalp.>Her touch is light, not applying too much pressure with the hard keratin of her hooves.>Applejack is surprisingly careful with her massaging, and whenever she does get a bit more forceful, she switches to rubbing with her fetlocks.>It’s a bit odd feeling, but it is genuinely enjoyable.>Guess these ponies are pretty used to working with those things.>It actually does feel a lot better than you were expecting.>Maybe you will start doing this more often.>It’s nice just being close to her like this, and Applejack always seems to know how to make you feel better.>”You’re lookin’ awfully relaxed now.”>You chuckle placidly.“Yea… you are pretty good at this…”>Applejack’s chest puffs out a bit.>”See – ain’t it nice havin’ somepony wash your mane for you every once ‘n a while?”>She leans down, holding the sides of your head in her fetlocks and softly nuzzling your scalp before sighing.>”It’s nice to see you so relaxed. I… I worry ‘bout you sometimes, ya know? You just usually seem so nervous ‘n jumpy, it just calms my nerves to see you enjoyin’ yourself for a change.”>You smile, reaching up and hugging her again with one arm.“Thank you – for caring about me like that.”>After another brief hug, she takes up a wooden ladle in her mouth, and begins scooping up the warm water and pouring it over your head, rinsing out the shampoo.>You run your hand through your hair, feeling its softness.“Feels good. Guess it’s time for me to start on you now.”>You grab the shampoo bottle again.
>>42913040>You squirt the shampoo into your hand and shift up to sit on your knees so you can reach her head easier.>Applejack closes her eyes and leans her head forward for you.>You start rubbing it into her hair, and set to work with your fingers.>It doesn’t take long for her to practically turn to putty in your hands.>You’re out to impress, after all.>Gotta show her just what these hands are capable of.>There’s a few little satisfied ‘oohs’ and ‘hmms’ from Applejack as you brush your fingers through her mane.>You deftly work through any tangles you encounter, careful to not tug too hard and cause any pain.>Rubbing circular motions with your hands while lightly scratching with each finger.>For ponies with no exposure to humans, this is probably damn near a sensory overload for her.>Applejack can hardly say a word outside of her hums and pleased giggles.“How is it?”>You don’t even try to hide how self-satisfied you feel by her reaction.>It always puts you on cloud nine whenever Applejack is so obviously pleased by something you do.>”It’s good… real good. You really ain’t done this before?”“Nope. Guess I’m just a natural at washing horses.”>You both chuckle.>It’s similar enough feeling to human hair, you suppose.>It sort of reminds you of when you used to play with your mom’s hair as a kid.>Once you have Applejack’s hair thoroughly lathered up, you get to rinsing it out.>You don’t bother with the ladle, instead just cupping the water in your hands and pouring it over her mane.>Rinse, brush through with your fingers, repeat until her mane is shiny and smooth.>You look on, satisfied with your work as you feel the hair in your hands.“So, you liked it?”>Applejack nods eagerly.>”Ya did good sugarcube. Probably the nicest mane wash I’ve had in a long time. Think you’d mind washin’ the rest of me? You could probably go over me right quick with how easy you can reach everywhere.”>You have to admit, washing her everywhere else does make you feel a bit nervous.>Ponies have fairly different sensibilities than what you’re used to, so you have no idea where on her body is and isn’t appropriate to touch.>But Applejack was pretty excited to finally get you to agree to this, so you’d hate to say no.“Sure, I can do that.”
>>42913043>Finished with her mane, you grab the soap bar and get to work on the rest of her coat.>No need for a brush like the ponies usually use since you can just hold it directly.>You lather your hands up and start carefully rubbing he suds into Applejack’s face. >You carefully trace your fingers all along her features, making sure to not get the soap in her eyes.>Applejack is totally at peace as you do, smiling softly and letting her head rest in your palms.>Your face heats up a bit staring so closely at her, and you suddenly find that you’re very glad she has her eyes closed.>You feel about as red as the apples on her flank look.>After soaping up her face, you dip your hand in the water and gently wipe it all away.>Applejack stays silent as you work, quietly relishing in your soft touch.>As gentle as they may manage to be with their hooves, you’re sure this has still got to be quite the experience.>Especially since they probably don’t get any where near as fine as your fingers do.>You can easily rub and scratch each nook and cranny of her head.>Between her eyes, along the jaw, the ears.>As you make your way further down her face, Applejack wordlessly inches closer and lays her head down on your shoulder so you don’t have to reach as far.>You start working the lather into her muscled neck.>As relaxed as you were when AJ was washing your hair, she’s on a whole other level.>She’s damn near falling asleep as you work the soap into her coat, resting her head on your shoulder as you make your way down her neck.>You can feel each slow exhale of her breath on your skin.>”Shoot… don’t need no fancy spa with these hands of yours.>She even starts to gently nip your shoulder as your fingers rub her weary muscles.>And you thought these ponies couldn’t get any cuter.>You wonder…>You stare are her brownish-orange coat.>…Would she like that song?>If you hummed it for her, would it make her feel even more relaxed?>Eh, why not try it?>She already seems to be enjoying herself, maybe she’ll like it.>You start humming an old little tune as you massage the soap into her coat.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efrVpkrWNkI
>>42913046>Applejack’s tail swishes, and she nickers gently while rubbing her cheek on your shoulder.>”That’s a nice song…”>Jackpot.>You’ll definitely be humming that in the future when you’re relaxing together.>Hopefully you’ve made a good enough impression she wouldn’t mind doing this more.>You slowly go about scrubbing the rest of Applejack’s body, humming all the while.>Applejack looks so blissed out the entire time that you can hardly tell if she’s even awake.>You know ponies can sleep standing up, so she very well could be right now.>You were a little nervous when you started washing closer to her… more private areas.>You still aren’t exactly sure how close to her teats you can touch before it would be considered inappropriate, but as long as AJ wasn’t raising complaint or saying anything, you figured you’re probably in the clear.>Even after you’re finished scrubbing her down, you still idly pet at her coat as you go about rinsing her off.>It just feels therapeutic, and Applejack doesn’t mind it either.>She especially seems to enjoy when you scratch her flanks.>Guess that is kind of a tough spot for her to reach on her own.>The two of you just sit there a for a while, enjoying the warm water.>You give yourself a quick and basic scrub down with the soap, nothing too drawn out.>Mainly you just want to keep petting AJ, hoping that no one else barges in and sees you two in the mean time.>AJ is one thing, but you’re not sure you’re ready to bathe with Apple Bloom.>They may consider it normal, but sharing a bath with an actual kid is still a bridge to far for your sensibilities.>And Mac you’re afraid might take offense to your handsyness with his sister.>Regardless, now that you’re both clean, you really ought to be getting out now.>Though you hate to rouse her when she looks so relaxed.>Still, you can’t sit in here all day… even if that would be pretty nice.>You take her head in your hands, and gently jostle her a bit.
>>42913050“Hey, AJ?”>Applejack yawns, blinking tiredly at you>”All done, huh? Shoot, that sure was somethin’.”>You half expect AJ to head straight off to bed after this with how tired she sounds.>You hoped to make her feel relaxed, but you never thought it would work this well!>You help boost Applejack up over the walls of the tub before climbing out yourself.>Grabbing the towels off the rack, you toss one over your head, and hand the other one down to AJ.>You hear a muffled ‘thanks’ as she takes the towel between her teeth.>You vigorously rub your head and shoulders to dry them as quickly as possible.>Wrapping the towel around your waist, you look down and see AJ awkwardly rubbing the towel against her coat with her hoof.>This would probably be easier if you helped with it too.>Kneeling down, you grab the towel and start drying her yourself.>She turns to you with a smile.>”Aw, thanks sug. Nice to see you already getting’ used to the pony way of doin’ things.”>You return the smile.“Thanks for helping me out as much as you do.”>”So, think you’ll wanna do this more often?”>You nod.“Yea, I think so. This was nice.”>”Glad to hear. Maybe you oughta come to the spa with me ‘n the girls sometime, then you could put them all to sleep with those hands too. Celestia knows some of them could use it.”>You both share a laugh at her suggestion.“Maybe. Not sure I’m ready to go bathing in public quite yet though.”>Applejack nuzzles your face.>”Course sugarcube. Ain’t no rush, just an offer for whenever you feel ready for it.”\>You nuzzle her back.>Maybe you will do that, eventually.>Bathing with ponies really isn’t so bad.And paste.https://ponepaste.org/11655Remember to download, always archive everything. I headcanon that bathing in groups is a common practice among ponies, especially earth ponies, so I wanted to do a cute story about AJ trying to get Anon used to sharing baths.
>>42913013I want my booty plundred by Piratejack
>>42913055Wonderful, you're a treasure.Thanks a bunch!
>>42913059Glad to be of pleasure. I was originally going to finish this up and post it on Christmas with my story archive, but I ended up being busy on Christmas day and then got blackout drunk that night celebrating, so it delayed me a bit.It's here now though. Now to just decide what green to out my focus on next.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq0XJCJ1Srw>"Hey, Anon? Got any roasted nuts? They'd go swell with this homemade whiskey."
>>42913013arrrrgh! lets plunder some booty
>>42913315https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8eWaR8ONvw
>>42913315>>42913482Based anons with acquired tastes in mares and music
>>42913817WAS THAT THE BITE of '87?!
>>42913817I'm always a little surprised at how often caricatures of AJ come up in MLP parodies, considering how the fandom usually talks about her. She seems to be one of the more recognizable characters among normies even despite Hasbro's treatment of her.
>>42913847People love cowgirls, no matter how much Hasbro or the fandom wanna bury it
>>42913847I didn't get into the show until 2012 but I somehow knew:>Rainbow Dash>Applejack>Twilight SparkleAnd I didn't even see a minute of the show, just people mentioning their names in files or in passing. I think I kinda guess that Pinkie's name was Pinkie Pie. I kinda remember seeing that Fluttershy clip of her saying "you're going to love me" in a Sparta Remix.
>>42914147I have a similar experience. I remember seeing the show in its heyday and have been on the chan since the 2010s but only watched the show and came here in 2024. Before then, the only character design I could remember was Applejack. I didn't even know Twilight was the main character, though I did remember the opening of the opening theme. Not an appulfag but it certainly seems like she has a bit of mental staying power.
>>42914168>>42914147>>42914064>>42913847I feel like the hat probably contributes. The hat and the accent, they make her a lot more memorable to someone who has only passing familiarity with the show.
>>42914177She isn't technicolored like the rest of the ponies so her grounded design keeps her normal enough. Her name being an actual product probably helps too.
>>42914228Yeah the fact that shes blonde and has green eyes feels alot more relatable to people design wise. I think some people may assume Rarity is some "frenemy" or "bully" type character like Bonnie from Kim Possible just from a glance. I've heard people assume that either Dash or AJ were the main characters because to them Twilight seemed like a voice-of-reason side character.
>>42914228eww why do they have human faces
>>42913847>>42914177It's the hat, it gives her "aura" like the kids say these days
Morning bump.
>>42914724
>>42914724Cool AJ
Somepony got into the love posion again
Hope y'all have a good new year!
>>42914340>Character who doesn't like fashion or dressing up is the one with the most iconic accessory that even non fans rememberRarity BTFO
Considering farmers need protein to give them energy for the day, would AJ be the most likely pony to be down with consuming meat? I mean a good morning steak and bacon with toast and butter is a nice warmup breakfast for any farmer. Maybe triple that amount given horses need more calories.
>>42915845I think so, yea. If any pony in the mane 6 were going to be a meat eater, Applejack is the one who makes the most logical sense with how much physical labor she does. She knows how to truss a turkey, so maybe they eat poultry during family gatherings or holiday dinners.
>>42913013She looks like she's fixin' to jack (You) and take your shit.
>>42915835Now that you mention it, that is rather strange. Rarity accessorizes plenty for specific outfits, yet fashion horse wasn't designed with a built-in everyday accessory like Silver Spoon's pearls or a g1 tail ribbon. Even with their little sisters, Apple Bloom mogs Sweetie with her giant bow.
>>42915835>"I don't fear the mare who wears 10.000 hats once, I fear the mare who wears 1 hat 10.000 times"Fancy Pants, Art of Fashion, p.91
>>42916064Giving Rarity an accessory would make her design too complicated. Her mane is already more complex than your average main character's design.
>>42916064Rarity is vain enough to think she can coast by on "natural beauty" even though her mane has more hair products in it than the Pharmacy's haircare section, fake eyelashes and mascara
>>42916087Don't forget Applejack also wears 2 red ribbons, bringing her up to 3 every day accessories. AJ is the real dedicated fashion pony.>>42916172I'd argue Pinkie's mane is more complex, and Rainbow Dash's colors make her far more difficult to add to without becoming gaudy. It's not as ubiquitous as AJ's hat, but Rarity does don a pair of red seamstress glasses semi-regularly.
>>42916344Even the most unskilled drawfags can draw Pinkie's mane to a decent accuracy. It's just bubbly curls. RD's rainbow is easy to maintain because she just borrows the colors from the other M6's palettes, maintaining visual cohesion. Unless you're trying to draw screencaps straight from the show, you practically need to make Rarity's mane 3D for it to make sense. She also has a gradient in her mane. She wears eyeshadow and has a unique eye shape that only 2 other characters have in the show. She's the most complex main character design and to give her an accessory of some kind would be too much.
>>42916377>to a decent accuracyIf you draw sloppy lumps without trying for high accuracy, true. Pinkie has a lot of shapes to her voluminous mane to keep lined up. Besides, I assumed that complexity was design gaudiness, not how difficult it is to draw.>RD just borrows the colors from the other M6's palettes, maintaining visual cohesionMeaning she's as complex as 5 other characters combined. Artists need to keep in mind her rainbow array of colors when dressing her in anything.>you practically need to make Rarity's mane 3D for it to make senseI can draw ribbons without problem, and that's all her mane is. It's readable without shading.>mane gradientA little simple shading isn't throwing anything off. In fact the two blending colors makes her look simpler, because at a fast glance anyone will tell you she has a single color to her mane.>eye shadowAs minor as AJ's freckles.>rhombus eyes are more complex than circle eyeswut
What would be your favorite leisure activity to do with AJ outside of working the farm? Hiking/camping? Rodeo games? Playing instruments?
Happy New Year Appulbros!
>>42918187Happy new year, appulfren!
>>42918145All, probably. I like hiking/camping, and I can play instruments.>>42918187Haspy New Yaer!!
>>42918145Love driving my truck, just like Applejack, and I also do like to bake
>>42918145Hiking. I trust that she knows a few beautiful places to hike and she'll keep me safe since I'm very inexperienced.>>42918187Happy New Year appulbro!
>>42919054What are the boards they're holding supposed to be? I assume it's some Japanese thing based on the clothing.
>>42919315They're Hanetsuki boards. Per Wikipedia, "Hanetsuki is a Japanese traditional game, similar to racket games like badminton but without a net, played with a rectangular wooden paddle called a hagoita and a brightly coloured shuttlecock, called a hane. Often played by girls at the New Year."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HanetsukiI didn't know what it was until I found the fanart and searched it up.
>>42919773Good morning
>>42918187Happy New Year Applebro
>>42922156She had the cutest costumes.
>>42921763As it should be.
Wife, up!
>>42924645Wife up? I certainly intend to.

Is this a safe space to talk about my AJ tulpa?
>>42925664No, Anon. She'll know.
>>42925664can I bee one of your tulpas
>>42925839>the bee in question
>>42925838She is always one step ahead of me. Of course she knows. She also reminded me that Freud was right the entire time, and dicks down one of my other tulpas to calm them down when necessary. That other one is uuuuuuh the part of me that's always forgetting to eat because she's trying to help out other people. AJ keeps her in check so we all get the basics of food, water, sleep, etc sorted out.>>42925839Maybe. Describe yourself, anon.
>>42925846If Applejack were a bee she'd make the best honey.

>>42926910I deeply regret we never got an Applejack story that had a magic item as cool as Apple-Crazy's Apple. It's such an easy episode layup too.>Applejack is honest but runs into several situations where she can't convince others she's telling the truth, outside stuff makes them doubt her and not believe her even though she never lies.>Kicks the tree of Harmony I mean, randomly finds a magical apple that when she holds it, makes anyone she speaks to believe what she says 100 percent. It doesn't change the world, it just makes it so if she says "The sky is purple", whoever hears it will be convinced the sky was purple just a mere second ago and it changed back for some reason.>Big song and dance that eventually has her realize it's more important that she earns their trust then relying on them just believing in her all the time, because she does get it wrong even if she's not lying. She can say what she believes to be the truth, and something happens to make it a lie.>Lesson about accepting that just because you believe something and are speaking honestly doesn't make it true, and it's healthy for someone to trust you but also have doubts in case you're wrong.It fits so perfect why did we have to have the awful spa episode instead
>>42930668Looks like she could use a hand
>>42930524So silly
>>42930524She may be silly, but she's our girl.
applejack fluffjobsAny recommendations for outfits I should commission applejack in for this fetish?https://derpibooru.org/search?q=aj%2C+fluffjob
>>42918933Applejack's a homestead and family pony at heart, but would she want to take some time off to explore and stroll around Equestria's foothills?
>>42932823She seems to enjoy camping and is quite the woodsmare, if her knowing how to make and use a bowdrill is any indication, so I think she would. She might prefer to have it be a family trip though with other people she cares about, since she doesn't seem to like the idea of being alone a whole lot.>>42932738Is there anything of her in any kind of western or rodeo wear? I know the old show bible mentioned her having her own rodeo tack that she like the style of more than the fancy kind Rarity liked, and tack sexualization is way too infrequent in MLP content. We could use more of sexy ponies in leather straps.
here is applejack redraw of a capybara picture
>>42933111Nice work, she looks cute. Though I can't say I've seen whatever capybara picture you based it on.

>>42936369Lol
>>42936369Not supposed to what?
>>42936369>>42937122Oh heil. I thought you said hell and was confused as fuck lol.
>>42936341She looks happy

To this day, one of my favorite pony songshttps://youtu.be/YqIwGtEJmLM?si=YKZ9mZoZivzcPheE
>>42939440Hearing this live with my Applejack plushie is an experience I'll never forget
Just found out this one, I like ithttps://youtu.be/L8W8q_C_89A?si=QDlx9huNdGXr2PON
>>42933111Cute!Also>check em
>>42939861>>42939440Glad to see some AJ songs that aren't sad. Most of the songs people make about her tend to be on the depressing side.
>"Hey, Applejack, say somethin' about apples!">"Actually, I have something serious on my mind today."

>>42940424There's a certain underlying melancholy to Applejack's characterhttps://youtu.be/-NPko7r3y9U?si=SKGBLIp_U6tt4onS
I never thought AJ was that hot until I realized she's got the most toned ass in Equestria and her kiss tastes like apples...
>>42941043>There's a certain underlying melancholy to Applejack's characterI'm glad people don't emphasize it more than what we already have. It's one of those things that's only somewhat obvious once you realize it and it needs to stay that way.
>>42941323>>42941043Poor girl. She deserves happiness.
>>42941503https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HEnNP4mVPdg

>>42941234I wonder if she would like the beach. I don't remember there being any episodes set there.
>>42942877We don't talk about the beach episode.
>>42943696That's a very shiny apple.

What do you think her favorite type of apple is?
>>42932738still looking for recommendations for this btw.pic related was the first one/first idea for this and basically spurred on the rest of these commissions.https://derpibooru.org/images/3706111
>>42946379What about her pirate outfit?
>>42946736got a pic of it?
Page 8 in less than an hour? Lots of sliding today
>>42946983This one, from the episode with her, Pinkie, and Rarity.
>>42946379I'll suggest the ghost of the past dress, although out of season, i love this dress of her.Either choose the colors yourself, or make a spooky fluffjob i guess
>>42947588looks promising I'll have to see a front view of it before deciding. Hard to find a front view ref that isn't fan art though. this gif is about the closest ive got short of scanning the episode myself.>>42947562it's a sweater so im biased towards it, on the other hand it's more of a homeless/disheveled sailor look to me
>>42947708I guess it's supposed to just be more of a generic sailor's outfit, I just called it her pirate outfit because of the voice she did.
>>42948495Forgive me Appul, I was reading about you

Hey, does anyone have cool voice clips of AJ? I got the voice archive back
nightly bump, applebros, finished this today
>>42950791Much appreciated Twibro, great redraw of a classic sexy appul scene. SAA apples are always so juicy in the show, I wonder what they would taste like.
Applejack if she was in a GGI live action movie with heavy 2010's-2020's vibeshttps://youtu.be/8CahvOFNUk8?si=v3KlaiEy9XO7PpAU
>>42948551She's a mare of many talents.
i love her appulbros
>>42950791Pretty good
>>42951654There's a lot to love about her.
>>42951654She's such a beauty
>>42951574I once had dream that there was a new MLP movie, the funny thing it was like a CMC movie. But Applejack was there in surprisingly something like an antagonistic role? Well, more like the plot was Somepony Watching Over Me but stretched for a whole movie, ya know, the typical conflict that starts because AJ and AB had a fallout and she run away from home with her friends and run into all sorts of misadventures far away. Sounds like not the best role for Applejack but then I was watching the movie, (how to even describe watching a movie in a dream I have no idea) but what happened was pretty funny, because AJ then has the role to follow Apple Bloom and friends to the ends of Equestria to get them home safe and sound and in doing so she kinda stole the show. Because I remember she was basically bulldozing any threat that got in her way, the formula basically was that the CMC would get to a new place and get out of there with kid's shenanigans and then AJ arrive moments later and fucking destroy whoever tried to do some shit with her because she was in overprotective sister mode, it was hilariously exaggerated, she basically was the Applenator.
>>42953236From the way you describe it, I'm imagining her being like Dennis from the Spongebob movie. Like where Spongebob and Patrick barely manage to sneak their way out of that biker bar, then Dennis shows up and just casually uppercuts the owner through the roof and wrecks the place, then immediately leaves. I'm imagining it like that but it's Applejack bucking a bigass minotaur through a wall without batting an eye or something. It does sound like it'd be a funny movie.
>>42953405She's so cute.
>>42953245Eyup, it was something like that and it was pretty funny, nothing was stopping her. It also would help her to be more easily forgiven by the audience because all she wanted was to get her sister back and apologize for whatever conflict they had in the first act, so it was easy for AJ to look sympathetic. I woke up before the third act, most of what I remember is that middle part with the formula and a vague idea of how the movie began. I don't think I got to the end and just had a vague idea to where the story was going.
>>42953727That's how dreams usually go. Makes sense when you're having them, and it's only after you wake up you realize how many details are missing.
>>42930325The imagery of Applejack just fucking kicking the Tree of Harmony and getting a magical object just sounds so fucking cool and way too fitting, like yeah, the appul horse is gonna appul with the magical tree, like it was somehow meant to be. And the hook of that story sounds pretty interesting, like AJ has the dilemma and is torn between the pragmatism of using this item to take the safe road and get trust, avoiding the scepticism because she ultimately wants others to believe her telling the truth which she is but then again, this is not earning trust and would be forcing others to her wants, it's dishonest even if she ultimately was using it as a mean to communicate a truth. Sounds like a good lesson.
Wanted to post this too lol
Morning bump.>>42955525Nice.
>>42955525Cute. I like the idea of her taking care of any tree she finds out of habit.
Applejack singing about what every villain always wants to dohttps://youtu.be/wkhNjK55kKM?si=Ml0FiCYC-mUE09L2
Goddamn...https://youtu.be/L3jWvSQzsiU?si=x17PLM-fGBTkF7CJ
>>42956942Could AJ beat Resident Evil 4?
>>42957026She was beating RD when they played video games in Rainbow Rocks, so she probably could.
>>42955483And it works because it points out the difference between being "Honest" and being "Correct".Someone can honestly say something they THINK is true, but it's just plain wrong. And it's not bad if someone trusts you, but doesn't quite believe you because it doesn't sound right. It's a good lesson in the difference between being sure of yourself, and being truthful. >The imagery of Applejack just fucking kicking the Tree of Harmony and getting a magical object just sounds so fucking cool and way too fitting, like yeah, the appul horse is gonna appul with the magical tree, If I recall correctly in the story, it's one of the three Apple cutie mark symbols that falls out of the tree just for that extra bit of funny. She bucked her own apple.

>>42959702>in one of her rodeo episodes or something.When I think about it, most of her rodeo related stuff happens off-screen in the show, we never see AJ actually compete.
Hello appulfriends, just wanna let you guys know that Marecon will be happening this year on March 27-29, which of course means that the Applejack Appreciation Appointment will be there.

Hello again, Applefriends. I recently commissioned Cold Blooded Twilight for this one-page comic about a very short story I've written, and I figured I'd bump you with it. She's a little big here, twins is what I had in mind, so I'll put her in spoilers this time. His expression work is always great, especially in the penultimate panel here. This story was an entry in Flashfic, where the idea's to write 150 words at most according to a prompt, and this month's was "They're Revolting!":https://www.fimfiction.net/story/526921/4/short-stories-with-pregnant-ponies/theyre-revoltingApplejack lay on her front porch sunning, nearly asleep. Were she red like her brother, her twin pregnancy would’ve resembled a ripe apple but, with her orange coat, it could only be mistaken for a huge orange resting between her legs. It was further accentuated by her hat resting on it.Apple Bloom had been in Ponyville all day, but now was running back home excitedly. “Sis, look at what I’ve got for ya!”Applejack yawned to a weird yellow fruit held in front of her. “We’re kin to Oranges, but they’re ain’t any Bananas in our big ol’ family tree, sugarcube.”After some pouting, Applejack relented and ate it. Then her hat was kicked, for a start; she grimaced. “Oh sweet nelly, they’re revolting!”After some arguing, Apple Bloom relented and went to get her an apple. “This ain’t gonna happen to me when I have foals, is it?”
>>42967837>commissioning in the age where AI makes it super easy to make your own stuff >commissioning cockandballtwilight of all people
>>42967837Kek, that's good. They apple babies know what they want
>>42967837Cute. Pregnancy art of AJ is always nice. It looks so natural for her.
>>42967851Hey, these chatbots are supposed to be good at writing, where it's even harder to tell when they're used, and yet I've still got people commissioning me for stories, none with Applejack however. These machines don't actually think, so they can't really nail things the way an experienced man can, but sometimes their output's still pretty nice after someone cleans it up. I commission a lot of different artists, and Cold Blooded Twilight's easily the fastest; the guy's like a machine. That comic took him about fifty minutes, on stream.>>42967868>>42967872I'm glad you guys liked it. I asked for Applejack because I probably get stuff with her the least out of the mane six, and I should even it out more. I need to write about her more, too. In my opinion, the cutest part of the comic would have to be her freckles.
Morning bump.>>42967837Looks nice. Thank you!
>>42957598>Lukashenko berating the bureaucracy.mp4
>Open the pod barn doors, A.J.>"Ah'm afraid ah can't do that, sugarcube."

Morning bump.>>42970538Thank you!
Damn, you guys are already back on page 10.>>42970622You're welcome. I've just recently commissioned artwork based on that one story with this artwork, but it'll be a little too saucy to post here.
Here's a palette cleanser from the fetish faggotry.
>>42970940At least this fetish is cute and wholesome
>>42970940not an applefag, just browsing the catalog and this caught my eye. Lovely stuff. But where do those pinks in the bottom of the field come from! Ironically, the palette at the bottom lies.
>>42970940I want to live there and have a family like this
>>42970622God, she's so pretty
Valentines day coming soon.
>>42973092Love the way her rump moves when she walks.
>>42973255It's big.
>>42971935Snuggling in bed with her must feel like heaven.
>>42973913Such a great sister
>>42974882Wish more clothes in the show looked like this. Stuff that would make sense for their anatomy.
>>42974815I like when fanart gives AJ feathered hooves, they look pretty irl.
>>42974815I didn't notice the cap at first, it fits her well.
Will never not bother me how Applejack is canonically a star athlete and champion that competes in fucking CANTERLOT but we rarely see it, the most prominent episode about it happens off-screen and then there's not much else. Like, fans would say that she had no goals or ambition but that shit is literally there. God forbid the writers come up with what a Equestrian rodeo would be like
>>42975388Yea I've never understood people who call her boring either for this reason. For as much as people meme about her being nothing but apples and family, she's actually very flexible in terms of her interests. All things considered, she's honestly more of an athlete than RD is. RD doesn't really do contests outside of flying and is hyper focused on it, meanwhile AJ is competes in a fairly wide range of activities. It's a shame the show always gave all the focus to RD when it comes to athletics when AJ actually does more competitions than she does. People only consider her boring because they forget just how much she has going for her.It also makes me hate that stupid friendship problem map table even more. We didn't need a table map to tell the characters where to go, they already had plenty of stuff that would draw them to destinations naturally. If episodes like Over a Barrel were made post season 4, they would have been sent to Appaloosa by the table, and not by AJ simply having a family connection taking them there. It's lazy writing at its peak.
>>42975962Is that mistletoe is her hat? Looks like she's trying to get herself a kiss.
>>42976139It's holly, the two holiday plants are commonly confused.
>>42976152They're often confused, but it's also because people often use holly as a substitute because mistletoe is much harder to get (especially where I live as an Europoor, I've never seen it in the wild here and it probably doesn't even grow here).
>>42974882>>42975045It's nice because it looks a lot like what horses literally wear in real life (I usually see them wear this year round because I believe it's used so they aren't bothered too much by the in English apparently aptly named horseflies).
>>42976907I wonder how big typical pony bathtubs are.
Bed time bump
>>42978330
>>42978694Good morning appulbro
applle
>>42975388Do the other Mane 6 even go to rodeos with her? It seems like every time it came up in the show it was only Applejack and maybe her family members that would attend them. I'm not sure the rest of the group even watches her compete.
The anniversary was so good, hopefully some new anons checked it out. Farewell, Princess Applejack. Until next time...
>>42979983>Six hundred posts in 7 daysDamn you guys had fun
>>42980127Applejack grilled the Gen 5 characters for plot inconsistencies, it was a bucket list thing.Also weirdly respectful, I expected them just to dunk on it because, you know, gen %, but they treated it nice and had a good send off
>>42980127For sure, it was quite something, probably the fastest thread on the board when I think about it.>>42980975It's funny how that started from someone saying the thread outlived Gen 5 and then it snowballed from someone wondering how a crossover would go. But things were mostly in good fun and that ending was really sweet, made me feel something for Gen 5. Applejack gifting Sunny a stetson was just perfect.
>>42981051Was this a green or something? I never check out the anni threads.
>>42975636where was she storing that?
>>42981235That pic is a comic based on the first green of the Princess Applejack threads, it's basically how it got started. The other thing we're talking about is the recent anniversary thread, >>42957734 it was a fun thread to reminisce about past stories but it also had new ones too.
>>42981935Fun times, they will be missed.
>>42981935>Applejack saying she’s sorry that Sunny didn’t get the ending she herself got and didn’t get to resolve everything like she did>But it’s not her fault because all the changes happened before she was there and she should still be proud of all the good changes she made to put things back on track>Gives her a Stetson and tells her it was always about friendship, and they go back to their friends That’s the Applejack character I love. Humble, proud of you for just trying, and always remembering it’s the ones closest to you that makes life special. I didn’t like Gen 5 past the movie but if this scene was perfect, two earth ponies who got swept into something bigger having a heart to heart. Well done
>>42981935Oh, I thought you were talking about the regular anni. I know nothing about Princess Applejack. I did congratulate you guys for your dedication though in some other thread I think? I read the first two posts in that linked thread where AJ just meets Sunny, the part where AJ says they have more in common than she thought after Sunny mentioned her parents is nice. But from those first two posts I see hardly any character to Sunny, she's just setting each sentence up for AJ to talk. Sunny has more personality than that but I think most people who didn't watch G5 beyond the movie don't really know what it is. But I'll read the rest in a bit, maybe it gets better.
>>42982482Agreed, that closing scene was a fitting way to wrap up the thread, it was sweet.>>42982598I can see that being the case, hard for me to gauge how accurate it is to current stuff since I only watched the movie a long time ago. Still, most are short vignettes done in good fun and the ending goes for something more emotional, hope you have fun anon.
Sometimes I get the urge to post an Applejack image in the Applejack thread, and then I have to decide which image to post. Something especially cute?An image I have posted before but really like? A silly pony? It's always hard to choose.
>>42983130>It's always hard to choose.But it's always the right choice.
She's so cool
>>42984289For sure
>>42982879Sorry, I stopped reading after Zipp. It's just too OOC, Zipp wouldn't take a verbal beatdown that easily, even if the facts are right. Sorry, just not for me I'm afraid.
>>42984289Is that some kind of unused diamond dog design?
It's nice to see AJ having fun in the snow.
>>42985985
>>42984538That's fair anon, you gave it a shot, no biggie.
>>42985375just the oc of the artist
>>42986932
>>42986942>>42986932Ah. Idk why I thought it was concept art for the movie for some reason.
>>42986945Yeah can't blame you, the sequence is so fluid it looks official
>>42979919Not really from what I recall, there's only that one time the CMC went with her
>It’s winter in Equestria.>And holy shit are you freezing.>You unfortunately underestimated how cold the ponies make it here.>The good news is that the farm has a fair bit fewer chores to do in the winter.>The bad news is you’re spending most of your spare time huddled either in bed or on the couch with the biggest, heaviest blanket you could find.>It’s taking having all your clothes on and a blanket wrapped around you just to keep warm.>Goddamn you miss air conditioning.>You already went to see Rarity about making you some winter clothes, but that’s going to take at least a week before she’s finished.>Now you’re kicking yourself for not getting that done ahead of time.>You really aren’t looking forward to braving that walk to and from town again.>At least your little cocoon of warmth is surprisingly comfy.>You’re completely wrapped up in the blanket, even your head is tucked within it.>You guess it isn’t so bad, all things considered.>Still, you’re eager to be able to do things outside the farmhouse again.>Your meditations are interrupted by the front door suddenly opening.>Luckily you’re far enough away that the wave of cold air that’s surely blasting in right now is unable to penetrate the heavy woolen layers that make up the walls of your lair.>And the door thankfully closes again just as quickly as it had opened.>A set of hooves comes clopping up to your sanctuary on the couch.>”How ya holdin’ up sug?”>You peak your eyes out from your fortress of wool.“Snow Miser ain’t reaching my ass in here.>Applejack chuckles, looking at your antics with a fond smile.>”At least y’all are managing alright.”>She sits herself down next to you.>”I’m sorry sugarcube, I should’a taken you to Rarity for some nice ‘n warm clothes before winter started.”>You stick your hand out from the blanket and pet her neck.“It’s alright, I’m the one who should have thought of it anyway.”>You sigh as you lean against her.“Guess I was just used to the mild winters we always had back where I’m from, I didn’t really consider the fact I might need some winter clothes.”
>>42988824>”Still, wish I thought of it. I was so preoccupied with makin’ sure we had enough food stored up that it totally slipped my mind how you ain’t got a coat that grows out.”>Finding out the ponies had to actually stock up for winter gave you some whiplash when you first heard it.>Yea, lots of stuff still done the old fashion way around here.>Thankfully, AJ had the foresight to plant a bunch of extra vegetables in the garden months ago.>Plus she had plenty of money for some extra meat thanks to the increased cider sales this year.>Thank God you have a pony family to stay with, you would have actually starved if you were on your own“Don’t worry about it, it’s just a few more days of being huddled under blankets and I can start going outside like a normal person again.”>”Is it cozy in there?”>You nod your head, though she probably can’t see it.“More than you’d probably expect, yea.>She’s silent for a moment before leaning down to you.>”I got an idea. Open up that blanket.”>Fabric in hand, you extend your arm out in the most movie Count Dracula manner that you can.>With your bastion of warmth and comfort now open, Applejack wasted no time in shuffling her way inside.>She settles down in your lap, putting her hooves around you, pulling you close and setting her head on your shoulder.>Each exhale of her breath washes over your ear, warming the chilled flesh.>”There. Figure I can just keep you warm myself ‘til Rarity finishes up those new clothes for you.”>You let your hands sink into her thick coat.>God they get so pleasantly fluffy in the winter.“I’m not opposed to that.”>She hums happily.>”I figured you wouldn’t.”
>>42988826>You sit intertwined, basking in each others warmth.>It’s definitely warmer than sitting in here by yourself was.>Being so close to Applejack always makes you feel warm inside already anyway.>After a while, Applejack pokes the side of your face with her muzzle.>”So – what kinda songs do your folks listen to this time of year?>Popular winter songs?>Well Hearthswarming is already passed, so a Christmas song wouldn’t be very topical.>What other kind of songs do people listen to in winter?>As you go through the mental list, you suddenly think up one which might be perfect for the situation.“Well, there’s one that could be pretty fitting.”>AJ’s ears swivel in curiosity.>”Let’s hear it then.”>You always get a little self conscious singing around AJ, even if she says you sing fine.>Still, your desire to not disappoint her outweighs your nervousness.>You take a deep breath and prepare your best crooner voice.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnYSTnTMGQoAnd paste, always remember to download. https://ponepaste.org/11702Just a little idea I thought up during the cold snap over the last few days, figured it'd be kinda cute so I threw together something short. I'd like to do more shorter greens in between my longer ones, so hopefully I'll keep coming up with ideas.
Evening bump.I’ve been without power since Saturday. Not sure when I will be back on the regular.Please keep the thread alive.
>>42988908Good to see you're alright. Don't worry we've been pretty on top of it.

>>42989417Not the worst Applejack vector
>>42989417>>42989512Now this one, this is the classic one.
>>42989712That's her after the honeymoon.
>>42989990>Applejack watching every single Texas football team failing in miserable fashion
>>42991385Crafty. Using the kids to get near her. I'm sure she'd like someone who's good with foals.
>>42991709>CraftyMore like daring, if even in the world of Equestria you're considered a creep for being friendly to kids. In this world, I just steer far away from them because of modern day hysteria.
>>42992548>Applejack the Aura Farmare
>>42992043God I want that.
>>42967837You need a bump, and I just got another comic, so I'll post it. This one's cute more than anything, so I won't put it in spoilers. Silver Sweet made this, the same guy who made Milky Way, and his show-accurate comics are always a delight. The prompt this time was "Worst-Case Scenario":https://www.fimfiction.net/story/526921/25/short-stories-with-pregnant-ponies/worst-case-scenarioApplejack lay on the couch with a sick expression across her muzzle. Apple Bloom, with an ear on Applejack’s belly, was interrogating the newest member of the Apple family. “Now why are you making my sister feel all sick? What’s she ever done to you, besides everything?” She was trying to get a nurse’s cutie mark.Applejack wanted to tell her to leave, but wanted to keep her mouth closed more. Her stomach said it instead, leading Apple Bloom to another errant conclusion. “Aha! You feel sick because you haven’t eaten breakfast!” She sounded very proud of her observation. “Why not? Is he kicking your stomach something fierce? Granny said Apples learn how to buck trees before they’re even born!”“I... haven’t... eaten,” Applejack grimaced, “because right now I just can’t stand the taste of... of... apples!”Apple Bloom gasped along with Big McIntosh and Granny Smith in the kitchen.
>>42993830Cute, thanks for sharing. Poor AJ, lol. Pregnancy cravings really giving her a hard time it seems like.
>>42994109God damn she's so sexy I need to wear crocs right away
>>42993830Pregnancy is one hell of a drug or so I've heard, Appul is having a tough time
>>42994109>>42994316Rarity's angry she couldn't pull off the Crocs.
>>42992742I would melt if she looked at me like that
>>42988908Afternoon bump.Power's back. Regularly scheduled bumps will resume.
>>42995782Good to have you back. I hope y'all were managing alright without power.
Look
>>42997541>ching chong bing bong Applejacksure, cool >Licensed by Hasbro 2026What the actual fuck? Why does it look that good if Hasbro licensed it? Why is the American merch so shit?
>>42997548Because China recently got into MLP (G4 mainly) and Hasbro is being smart for once and trying to make money by releasing good merch in a huge market
>>42997541How the fuck does Hasbro pump out these exceptionally high quality merch items only now, close to two decades after the show started
>>42997541
>>42997641Because China hasbro does what shitmerica Hasbro doesn't. They probably just let them use the license and China is superior so they make better stuff at cheaper prices
>>42997578That, and industry has developed over time, so it's now practical to release good merch in an industrial economy.
>>42913055very nice
>>42997578Hasbro isn't releasing shit, they just licensed it to the chinese and they're pumping this shit out nonstop for the last few years
>>42998141Would love to play in the snow with her.
>>43000332
>>43001057Good morning
>>43000332Unf
>>43002052Applejack is the prettiest princess!
>>43002052Where is the dirt and mud?-and HAT?!?!?
>>43002702Crabple
>>43002592Wow, I had no idea she could levitate apples with her mind.
>>43002213she's got a hat right there on her head
Please post pictures of Apple being a silly pony.
>>43004066
>>43004220Good morning
>>43004575She's cute when she lies.
>>43005467Tell me lies, tell me sweet litlle lies...
>>43005467I absolutely agree.Especially since both Badjacks just keep making up the most outlandish and unnecessary lies, just for lying's sake, that they all just end up humorous and cute for me as the viewer.The way she pauses to go: "Uuuh" while coming up with the dumbest things just to avoid saying anything remotely correct is great.
>>42913013Applejack.
>>43006257Imagine doing sexual things with Badjack and her constantly pretending like she doesn't like.>"Uuhh, no sir I definitely don't like it when you pull my tail call me a silly pony! *Nose scrunch*"
>>42988824>>42988826>>42988830It's unusually cold where I'm from so the idea of snuggling with AJ under the blankets sounds like the comfiest thing in the world right now, ponies must be really fuzzy and warm. Nice green anon.
>>42997904>>43006797Thank you, glad to bring some extra coziness to the thread.
>>43006809Be proud anon
Next thread soon?
