Yeah...shame,

OK, but AJ was scarily awesome...and Pinkieis cute. Just in case I didn't make that clear.

An episode that emphasises Applejack's Badass Normal (relatively speaking) credentials would be boss.

Oh, glad so hear, and sorry AJ is scary.

Scarily awesome.

Wait, I was the one who brought up "AJ being boring as a plot point" and you give the credit to Apple?!

What a world

Maybe the Last Roundup will tell us how she got her lassoing skills.

I don't think we've seen anyone else lasso in the show before (not even amongst her family)

I skimmed and must've missed your post, sorry Ginger.

Wait, WOULD acknowledging AJ's supposed blandness backfire?

Back.

Hehe, I go to sleep for a few hours and come back and see that I missed pepole being awesome to me. Thank for the welcome everyone!

Also: I was up late last night and got a ways enite episode 9 (going back to finsih it now) but my parent are convinced I was watching porn and I am tempted to let them continue with that misconception rather then thell them the truth. It would be far less awkward.

Thoughts?

My mum watches the show with me. Everyone I know is aware of my Bronyhood. They're all completely cool with it

and I'm 19

I personally don't see much of a problem, but if it makes YOU feel any better then go for it! Your folks are probably a lot different to mine

If acknowledging it is supposed to endear the audience to her it most definitely will.

Why?

Hmmm.◊

Lol

Lemmie get this straight.... It's better to say you're watching porn instead of My Little Pony?

Just how important is displaying masculinity exactly? Because that's just stupid.

I hide both. Just so you know.

Ok, we know that AJ is generally the least popular of the Mane Six. Most people don't discuss it but it is generally thought that she is the least interesting. If an episode does acknowledge that most people will feel vindicated about not caring about AJ, and the fandom being what it is all we will see is an unending stream of "Applejack is most boring pony" and similar memes, and it will never. Go. Away.

Masculinity is Srs bzness.

I concur. I just don't get why what some people's problem is.

Don't get me started on the masculinity thing. I'd probably go on a huge political rant

How does fanfic get featured on Eq D? Do people send links, or are the authors trolling through ff.net themselves?

but couldn't it start up a few "boring is awesome" memes too?

They have a submit tab on the site that takes you to their submission policies.

The author submits their own links.

EDIT: re: Masculinity

Well me relationship with my family is...complex. I'm openly gay and it can get awkward enough, not to eagger to throw fuel on the fire.

Anyways: As to my I am not speaking to Rarity and AJ, their whole fighting things was pretty funny (again that Pillow Fight was epic) but it got old fast and I didn't buy their extremes (AJ not realizing that a tree would fall is she pulled it Rarity picking up books while a giant tree branch was right there) Though I did like the Chekov's Gun about Rarity's power to make hedge deigns out of tree branches.

To be fair though, TS and AJ thus are for are going strides to redeem themselves in 9. TS is being competent again and I'm warming to AJ. Rarity however, is so far still in corner time.

@L Mage: If they think you're watching porn and then discover something suggesting that you're watching My Little Pony, might they assume that you're watching porn OF My Little Pony?

(Half-serious; just a thought I had.)

Believe it or no they have a review panel.

That depends if she actually does something awesome or if she utterly fails at doing something awesome.
