(Cracks knuckles okay let's give this a shot) When they cracked their eyes open, they could barely remember their conversation with.... er.... what were they really? They were sorta... person-ish, but not really, guess that conversation didn't come free with the "all your prior memories" huh? Well th- FUCK, ow. Shit. Their head hurt like hell now that they thought about it, and they felt like they remembered... more than they used to? Like they remember having paws at one point, webbed fingers at another, no arms at all in a third, and so on. Hold on- they hadn't even thought about their environment yet! They looked and- were they in an egg? Were they fully sapient and about to hatch? They certainly felt all curled up and damp- aw fucking hell they didn't want to start as a damn baby! But it was better than not being a dragon, they guessed. So they began to attempt their eggy escape, which was mostly just trying to tear the outer egg. Honestly the egg felt kinda soft from the inside... but they could feel something harder on the outside as they tore through the first skin of it, which would be cool to get into the biology of but they had already busied theirself into thinking too much, it was hatching time! As they eventually made their way out, they shook off a thin... slime? Slime felt like the right word. That had covered them. Now was a good time to stretch, first forelimbs, then hindlimbs, two- no- four wings followed next, the more frontal pair feeling larger, then finally they stretched out their tail, which had apparently been tightly curled while they were in their egg. Man, it felt so nice to have so few cramps, desk jobs couldn't get them anymore! Oh man- had they specified what kind of dragon they wanted to be? What if they were a lame dragon with no breath wea- eugh. They felt hungry, and gross. Nearby they could hear a stream, that'd fix both problems spoke one corner of their brain, but their more recent corner, the human corner, just went ew, no! unsafe and gross! you can't eat raw animals and wash in random water! but honestly? They just decided to ignore that part, they asked for a dragon, they're going to get their money's worth! (or, I guess, death's worth?) So off they ran, hopping in as soon as they saw the stream. Some distant memory told them to be careful, their scales were soft, they'd be damaged if they'd be too enthusiastic. So they listened, being careful in how they washed the egg gunk off. Honestly- this was a good time to see theirself, they thought as they looked for their reflection. They looked kinda... cute in a weird way, but certainly still scary. They also didn't seem to be only scaled? Or at least, it looked like they had other textures, pinfeathers? That'd also be interesting to think about biologically..... if it weren't for their stomach yelling at them. Sheesh they'd only just hatched! Rude! But whatever, they went fishing, swallowing some smaller ones whole, as unsafe as the human corner of their brain nagged it to be. Honestly? This whole remembering everything deal didn't seem like a downside, it all seemed kinda distant and vague, but it felt good, helpful, right. What had that weirdo been so worried about?

“A what?” “A dragon.” “I can’t just-” “You said I could reincarnate as any living thing.” “Yes… But dragons are fantasy in your world! That means you’d have all your prior memories since you’d exist outside the laws of nature!” “Even better!”

not really in the fandom anymore but at the same time highly offended that anyone hates Applejack or thinks she's boring oml (she was always one of my favs) I have SUCH strong opinions on that, which you already worded beautifully

Learning that fans hated Applejack and called her "boring" is crazyyy to me because I genuinely, unironically believe AJ's the most complex character in the main six.

Backstory-wise, she was born into a family of famers/blue collar workers who helped found the town she lives in. She grew up a habitual liar until she had the bad habit traumatized outta her. She lost both her parents and was orphaned at a young age, having to step up as her baby sister's mother figure. She's the only person in the main gang who's experienced this level of loss and grief (A Royal Problem reveals that AJ dreams about memories of being held by her parents as a baby). She moved to Manhattan to live with her wealthy family members, only to realize she'll never fit in or be accepted, even amongst her own family. The earlier seasons imply she and her family had money problems too (In The Ticket Master, AJ wants to go to the gala to earn money to buy new farm equipment and afford hip surgery for her grandma).

Personality-wise, she's a total people-pleaser/steamroller (with an occasional savior complex) who places her self worth on her independence and usefulness for other people, causing her to become a complete workaholic. In Applebuck Season, AJ stops taking care of herself because of her obsessive responsibilities for others and becomes completely dysfunctional. In Apple Family Reunion, AJ has a tearful breakdown because in she thinks she dishonored her family and tarnished her reputation as a potential leader –– an expectation and anxiety that's directly tied to her deceased parents, as shown in the episode's ending scene. In The Last Roundup, AJ abandons her family and friends out of shame because believes she failed them by not earning 1st place in a rodeo competition. She completely spirals emotionally when she isn't able to fulfill her duties toward others. Her need to be the best manifests in intense pride and competitiveness when others challenge her. And when her pride's broken, she cowers and physically hides herself.

Moreover, it's strongly implied that AJ has a deep-seated anger. The comics explore her ranting outbursts more. EQG also obviously has AJ yelling at and insulting Rarity in a jealous fit just to hurt her feelings (with a line that I could write a whole dissection on). And I'm certain I read in a post somewhere that in a Gameloft event, AJ's negative traits are listed as anger.

Subtextually, a lot of these flaws and anxieties can be (retroactively) linked to her parents' death, forcing her to grow up too quickly to become the adult/caregiver of the family (especially after her big brother becomes semiverbal). Notice how throughout the series, she's constantly acting as the "mom friend" of the group (despite everything, she manages to be the most emotionally mature of the bunch). Notice how AJ'll switch to a quieter, calmer tone when her friends are panicking and use soothing prompts and questions to talk them through their emotions/problems; something she'd definitely pick up while raising a child. Same with her stoicism and reluctance at crying or releasing emotions (something Pinkie explicitly points out). She also had a childhood relationship with Rara (which, if you were to give a queer reading, could easy be interpreted as her first 'aha' crush), who eventually left her life. (Interestingly enough, AJ also has an angry outburst with Rara for the same exact reasons as with EQG Rarity; jealous, upset that someone else is using and changing her). It's not hard to imagine an AJ with separation anxiety stemming from her mother and childhood friend/crush leaving. I'm also not above reading into AJ's relationship with her little sister (Y'all ever think about how AB never got to know her parents, even though she shares her father's colors and her mother's curly hair?).

AJ's stubbornness is a symptom of growing up too quickly as well. Who else to play with your baby sister when your brother goes nonverbal (not to discount Big Mac's role in raising AB)? Who else to wake up in the middle of the night to care for your crying baby sister when your grandma needs her rest? When you need to be 100% all the time for your family, you tend to become hard-stuck with a sense of moral superiority. You know what's best because you have to be your best because if you're aren't your best, then everything'll inevitably fall apart and it'll be your fault. And if you don't know what's best –– if you've been wrong the whole time –– that means you haven't been your best, which means you've failed the people who rely on you, which means you can't fulfill your role in the family/society, which makes you worthless . We've seen time and time again how this compulsive need to be right for the sake of others becomes self-destructive (Apple Family Reunion, Sound of Silence, all competitions against RD). We've seen in The Last Roundup how, when no longer at her best, AJ would rather remove herself from her community than confront them because she no longer feels of use to them.

But I guess it is kinda weird that AJ has "masculine" traits and isn't interested in men at all. It's totally justified that an aggressively straight, misogynistic male fandom would characterize her as a "boring background character." /s

Pumping out designs rn fr

Narinder had his uh, face flaps? stitched shut as part of his punishment, and also had his neck partially waxed with a hot iron collar put on him (which eventually got taken off, but his fur never grew back) as the other part, both done by the lamb theirself and yet he still persues them!

[fox0war]

>That's what I'm saying! She's so mean if you do something even slightly wrong, and with all those utensils around she's really scary! I'd prefer playing Gangle before I played Ragatha again, but I'd prefer just having Jax back, I miss talking with him

✒️u/AnimatedMilipede • 7 minutes ago

>Do any of you know a way of how to still play Jax's game without getting banned? I really miss him, and none of the other games are as fun

> As a Ragatha enjoyer, I take full offence to that.

ngl because I read the graphic novels I never realized Dune (Talons of Peace) and Dune (Soldier) were the same person after reading the winglets, cause man, graphic novels Dune sure does have all of his limbs intact! And while his wing is messed up its not nearly as bad ngl still love the graphic novels but man... what a weird change...
