Happy Applejack Day!!!



Here's to our

, not to mention, the

, Applejack!

Ponyville's resident farm gal, she lives at Sweet Apple Acres with her little filly sister, Apple Bloom, her big brother, Big Mac, and his wife, Sugar Belle, and her grandmother, Granny Smith. This makes her very family-oriented. We know her as the most down-to-earth, outgoing, resourceful, and dependable pony around. This talented arboriculturist isn't afraid to get her hooves dirty working the land, much to neat freak Rarity's chagrin. We also know that she is very friendly, kind, easy to please, and sweet-to-the-core. And also, she is a natural beauty. This rootin' tootin' beauty cowgirl can be the "apple of anybody's eye" for all I know. Whether she is just wearing her stetson hat or when she dressed up as Applejewel, she is among the most beautiful mares ever.

But of course, what not only defines her character the most, but what makes her the best friend to have, is her being the most honest pony ever. She would NEVER stoop to telling a lie, not since her snout grew all the way around the world when she was middle-school aged in "Where the Apple Lies." Because of this, she is a trustworthy friend to rely on. However, telling the truth all the time can cause her as much trouble as with anypony who fibs nonstop. It has kept her from being sensitive to the feelings of others as she could be, despite her best intentions. In fact, it nearly destroyed Rarity's fashion show in "Honest Apple." Fortunately, when Rarity saw this as the final straw, and after she got Applejack to see how one pony thought apples weren't special, AJ finally learned her lesson after seven seasons. Even though she might be blunt, she is still sweet as apple pie.





I would like to confess something though

. Although I could become friends with Applejack, the chances of us becoming more than that are impossible. Of all the Mane 6, I have the least in common with her. We're both polar opposites: She's a hard worker, I'm laid-back and I only work when I feel like it; she loves all apples and apple-made products, I prefer just green apples and don't eat much apple products (though I do love apple cider); she believes that you should always tell the truth and lying is always wrong, I believe that being blunt is worst than lying, and you need to tone down your honesty; we're "politically" opposed, like with "Bats!" She preferred to chase off the vampire fruit bats to keep her family business intact; I would support Fluttershy in keeping them around like a fellow environmentalis; and for a time, she used to be so ridiculously overprotective that she treated Apple Bloom like a baby and nearly ruined Granny Smith and her eldery friends' (as well as Rainbow Dash's) fun at Las Pegasus, while I don't approve of it seeing such behavior actually pushing your loved ones towards danger than away. And what's worst, the two things we have in common are our stubbornness and difficulty in being flexible (I will also be hostile towards anyone who contradicts my views or methods), and this will actually cause more friction between us than less. We would probably argue all the time at best, and have an estranged if not a destroyed friendship at worst. Of all the Mane 6 ponies, she's actually roused my ire the most. From being overprotective to being stubborn to being shamelessly blunt, I'm glad that my arteries haven't melted down yet.

The only time I agreed with her on was with the Kirin not forcing themselves to be emotionless. Once again, I'm sorry for saying all this, but I had to let you all know. However, this doesn't mean that I hate her. I love Applejack very much. She's among the sweetest, kindest, strongest, most dependable, and most honest Earth Ponies ever. I can always depend on her if I need help, and because she is so strong and very caring, I would feel safe if I'm with her. No matter what, despite our opposing views and her tendency to get me frustrated, I will always love our beautiful, inside and out, cowgirl mare.

I'm sorry to Applejack for saying all these things.

Cider Stand by me Yee-haw!!! It's Cider Season, and who makes the best apple cider in Equestria? The Apple family! I'll admit, I didn't know what to come up with at first. But after remembering that this is celebrated during Cider Fest, I thought we could have a cider sale, just like in "Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000." It's been a while since we've seen Apples selling cider in season 2. And this time, they have a new family member joining the sale: Sugar Belle. And, fortunately, those quacks, the Flim Flam Brothers, won't be here to ruin the sale again. I can't believe nobody made a vector of the cider stand. It would've saved me the trouble of making it. Oh well. It's not 100% perfect, but I did my best at making it. Hope you don't mind how it turned out.Applejack by meApple Bloom by meGranny SmithBig Mac by Walrusinc Sugar BelleCider MugApple Buckets and Sweet Apple AcresCider Stand by me

I'm not sure if I love how this all turned out, but I hope you love it, and you too, sweet AJ.

Thank you for your honesty, Applejack. You will always be that great cowgirl pony we all know and love. May you always lend a hoof to those who need it most.
