After an event launches Applejack from her home in Equestria and into our world in a bizarre body, it's up to a strangely familiar face to take care of her. Together, they slowly learn that some women, like wine, get better with age.
Eeyup, AJ's havin' a ball with her new form.Slow and steady wins the game, AJ. I swear I knew someone who'd pick thorny weeds with their bare hands... granted, it must've been about two decades ago.
“I don't care what she says. I'mma make this work.” She squatted low, patting the plant like it was a friendly dog. “An' yer gonna help me, ain't that right, Danny?” With a pause, she reached and plucked a few more berries. “Yer pretty good at makin' these, by the way.”
Wasn't expecting this at all! Nice work carrying over the Earth Pony prowess and ties to the land. It seems no matter where she goes, she's one with the earth. I love it!
Magic is more than walking on clouds and moving things with your mind. It's even more than listening to the earth and what grows in it. I get the sense that this story will remind us of this quite often.
Also, it'd be nice if there was the occasional cutaway to Discord's misadventures through the multiverse, though I suppose they'd ruin the mood.
u write this so incredibly well, this is a truer applejack than the show's applejack. i think this story might become the shining example of the cherry x applejack ship, like composure for twilestia or that one i cant remember the name of for spike x rarity
so you made aj black for this and gave her super long blond hair -.o?
Her and Twilight have always been black in my humanized head canon. I mean, nobody else in the world has natural pink hair/rainbow hued hair/violet hair, so, why leave AJ out of the improbable color scheme with her golden locks? Plus, a black country girl amuses me, due to its rare nature.
If you're that desperate for an Appleblack visualization, man, just look at the former coverart for my other Applejack fic, or one of the commissions I did from Billew.
3020307 I know that, but I didn't know if my computer actually was able to get the comment through or not until later. Ever hear the phrase "slower than molasses in January"? My computer is what they were talking about.
3020411 that coverart doesn't look nearly as black as your described it , that just looks super dark , something that can come about from constant outdoor work in the sun , im still of the mind that all those characters are white , but i believe the best black versions i've seen was done on rarity.....
for a group whose motto is "love and tolerate," bronies sure do seem to care about skin color a lot more than you'd think. applejack's personality is perfectly represented in this story, so why the fuck does her ethnicity matter?
Well well well, I finally get around to reading this story and now I am a bit disappointed I took this long. Of course I should expect nothing less from you, so far all the stories of yours I have read have been awesome. The first chapter threw me off because I thought this was nothing but a human and with the mention of ponies I was a bit but now I see it's a mixture of both. Glad to see that retained some of her Earth pony magic.
3045320 no way man don't change things up just because of an unintelligent reviewer. stay true to ur own vision of the character and story. if u have ur story respond to it then u make it more of an issue than something so trivial has any right to be. even if its in a contradicting way, dont let a reviewer change how ur making this story, cuz this story is a truly excellent work so far.
......unless its a review from me! then toss all that artistic integrity out the window and do exactly what i say!
3381362 To an extent, yeah. I mean, she's pretty dark skinned in this for a reason, which'll be explained in a later chapter. Glad you're liking it, I thought it was nice lookin' too. 3371841 Thanks!
This is going really well :) read and faved this one some time ago but hadn't commented, thought I should. I don't consider myself a fan of HiE, particularly, but this is a good variation on that theme. Dealing with such a shock would take time, but AJs doing the right things: seeking something familiar and immersing herself in it. All the grappling with change has been managed rather nicely though, and AJ isn't just breezing through things like some sort of super notman. Well-paced so far and it feels like there a whole lot of life left in this story.
Could be a bumpy road ahead I'd wager, but it'll work out in the end!

I like this. Also, love that AJ is still AJ in her core.

IIRC, about the only thing I wrote was:
Not that it matters too much, considering it's Applejack, no matter how you color it.
3027840 iirc?.....
which turns up something like this

which is several orders darker than your images.....

Right on the money. It's tempting to make her not just brown, but ebony now, just out of spite. Go go Appleblack.
