Granny'll never finish the quilt, because all the Apple family that could knit died in World War 2.

And if you remember the complete list of Equestrian wars I made up way back, Equestria was on the Axis side, against the griffons and their Allies.

Baby Applejack...Excuse me, while my fucking heart melts.

Its also possible 100 moons is just an Equestrian expression that means a long time. Not everything has to be all exact.

So, AJ's gotta remember a whole bunch of crap for this reunion, and she's now gonna be tired, and it's Applebuck Season all over again.

@Crow

Considering that Granny Smith said that the reunions have always been "every 100 moons", I doubt that it would be an inexact time frame.

Holy shite, Pinkie just drank honey straight from a hive.

While there were bees there.

And that means:

At least your avatars technically are different, unlike the time around 3 different people started using Sunflower Celestia.

Oh fucking hell, I thought my brother was asleep, but he's just come downstairs.

Shit, and I'm not online Christmas.

Shit. I'll do it Boxing Day.

Sorry. If only my brother wasn't a rampant hater.

Speaking of Pinkie and Bees...

this is the silliest pony tumblr ever

...that moment when someone drawing ovals in MS Paint has twice as many followers as I do.

I half expected them to say that the reason the quilt is never finished is because it's traditioanl to add to it at every reunion. It's not SUPPOSED to be finished.

^That's heavily implied, anyway.

Okay, I better get to sleep now. I'll leave you guys with this followup to my "Top Ten Out of Context Screencaps" post.

Season's Greetings from Star Swirl Academy

Applestems :D

More how to draw goodness

WRYYYYYYY

Concerning, potential episodes, I think I'd like plots concerning RD and AJ's elements of Harmony. They seem the least developed of the cast. We've seen hints of how they are connected but not how they far they really define the character.

I kinda like the idea of AJ fearing hurting someone with Brutal Honesty and trying (probably badly) to use 'little white lies' giving an Aesop about moderating the truth so it isn't too harsh while still being honest.

As for RD, hard to think of a idea concerning her loyalty. A Taking Advantage of Generosity episode may be interesting to see for her endurance wise, though it would hard to see RD of all people being submissive to someone.

As for AJ being hard to develop, I think the main problem is one of her key flaws is now dissappeared. In early episodes she was rather temperamental, which often lead to her being overdefensive when she felt someone was being unjust or insulting her. This was also arguably a key drive in her stubborness (nearly ALL the cast have stubborn moments, just caused by their key flaw, if anything AJ's pig headedness is the least developed now since it isn't working off any other personality trait). What may have caused her lack of versatility is that rather than developing and maturing this flaw like with the other cast she just sort of 'grew out of it' and it was no longer an issue anymore and, as Japanese Teeth's review pointed out, she can't really take plots to high level due to her now very mellowed personality.

Ohhhhh fuck. Somebody compiled all 180 chapters of My Second Life into Google Docs...

Do you think they'll ever show gambling in the show?

AJ and Dashie are the ones most likely to take wagers :V

Didn't we talk about this earlier?

@Psi They don't do plots directly concerning a character's Element of Harmony itself ever. If you mean their character traits represented by said Elements, I'm not entirely sure what show you've been watching. Until the most recent one, AJ's episodes have been all about her honesty and the problems it causes, and Rainbow Dash has always been loyal, with her Sleepless in Ponyville and Wonderbolts Academy summing up and driving home the entirety of her rather large amount of character development throughout the series.

But now I'm asking something different: whether they'd be able to show it in the show at all.

what?

I don't know what the "What?" is asking exactly, so I'll give both possible answers:

1. It is the worst fanfic I have ever read in this fandom.

2. It was bizarrely popular enough that someone saved all of it and put it up on Googledocs.

@Lurker: The connections to AJ's honesty still feel a bit contrived and while they've had links to RD's loyalty, it still hasn't really been developed in a manner it is exceptional from that of the other ponies (would anyone have really failed that Friend or Idol Decision in the pilot?).

3. Pannic is pained by the mere existence of bad-yet-popular fics, because it means that he is compelled to read them.

So, May The Best Pet Win, Hurricane Fluttershy, Sleepless in Ponyville, and Wonderbolts Academy don't show her as exceptionally loyal? And Applebuck Season/The Last Roundup are contrived? I think we're going to have to disagree there.
