It’s true. Sometimes a tear’ll slip out… it’s bound to happen, sometimes… but for the most part, I cry on the inside.
But right now, as I watch my friends weeping in a huddle together... I'm not crying.
Not even on the inside.
Based on the episode, Tanks for the Memories.

Good pov on AJs part.

Springs around the corner,

Glad you liked it. I know it was short, but I hope it was short and sweet.
5905491
I'm just a surprised as you are that I wrote it this fast.
And eww Flashlight
Well put. Rainbow Dash doesn't have a clue about real loss. It's hard to feel sympathy for her when you've had to cope with what Applejack has.
5905568
Well, I wouldn't necessarily say that, per se. Applejack comes to the realization in this story that, even though she's had to go through much worse, that it doesn't take away the pain that Rainbow is feeling with losing Tank, even if it's only a temporary loss.
You and I don't have to worry about getting clean water every day like some people in the world do, but that doesn't mean that the pains we feel should just be dismissed because others are hurting worse. That's all.
5905568 Just because someone has it worse, doesn't make the pain of others less.
Just because others starves in poor countries, doesn't mean I can't feel hunger.
Just because others lives in war and terror, doesn't mean I can't feel fear.
That was beautiful.
5905642
Thank you. I'm glad you liked it.
Goodness, never thought of it that way.
Poor A.J., but great job, writer 
5905666
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
5905566 Well, it's not a bad story, so no problem here.
5905679
Cool beans.

Why must you do this to me? Just take my like, take it and leave me.
I really enjoyed this. And I thought it was the perfect length, showing the thoughts of a grieving pony in a simple moment. I like how AJ changed her anger to bittersweet-ness.
5905724
Thanks for reading, and I'm glad it made you feel things!
5905776
Glad I conveyed her thoughts in a concise manner. I sometimes get too long-winded with things, so I tried to do the exact opposite for this story and see how it turned out.
Thanks for reading!
Is it weird that I say tanks instead of thanks, and ive been doing that for years?
5905809
As long as I can understand you, I personally don't see a problem with it.
5905809
I do that all the time. :D
This was really good!
Oh, my goodness. She had to crawl back from the brink of giving RD the sort of refugee-in-a-war-zone speech April from For Better Or For Worse always used to get.
5905999
Thank you!
5906012
AJ's got a lot of stuff bottled up, that's for sure.
Really! Really.... Like.... a few hours... My god....
5906363
Is that a good "My God" or a bad "My God"?
I'm guessing it's good, but I don't want to assume.
5906068
An epitaph for Mr and Mrs Apple.....
Lays hat over my beating heart. In hope of rest for the noble dead....
5906383
No, I absolutely love this! It's a good My God.
Damn... just damn...
5906427
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
5906432
Happy to see this had an impact of some sort. Thanks for reading.
Pretty good, Applejack reminds me of myself, how she felt in the beginning of the story, except in a different way I suppose.
I mean people being completely distraught over breaking a leg and not being able to walk for a couple months, when I can't walk in general... tis not the same sort of thing but it's similar, I think. Not that they don't have the right to be sad but... yeah.
5905585 I loved your story, heck I got felling this what was going thorough her mind at the time. I applaud you for both adding to my head cannon and writing such a good story
5906541
I'm glad this story spoke to you in a personal way. Also glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for reading!
5906544
No problem! This was exactly what was going through my head when I first saw the scene, too. Probably explains how I wrote this so fast.
This is excellent. You captured the emotions perfectly and gave Applejack a depth that touched my own heartstrings. Really, this is a truly good work
5905822 5905974 YUS! MEH NAME IS GUS!
This is the first time I've actually read anything that fleshes out the hunch that AJ was orphaned. This story resonates with me, particularly the mortality aspect of it. If anyone cares to ask why, I'll say. But I'll assume they don't, and simply say "Nice job." A good story, concisely expanding on a character in a deep way.
5906614
I don't think it's good for you to denigrate yourself like that. I was in your position not too long ago, looking up to authors whom I considered better than me, and thinking to myself, "I'm no good."
But writing's a journey. I know saying this when I'm just writing fanfiction might seem a little bit melodramatic, but improving on writing really is a journey. When I look back at stuff I wrote five years ago, I cringe. But the good news is, that's to be expected with writing! As long as you're giving it your best shot along the way and trying to do better, you will improve. Writing gets better with age and with experience, but you have to put in the work.
Keep reading, take notes, and get acquainted with authors and with stories of authors your consider "better" than yourself so that you can learn things! It'll take time, but in the long run, you won't regret it. And I'm sorry to see that you feel so discouraged, too, but just remember that there are ALWAYS going to be people and authors that are better than you, no matter how good you might get at something. ESPECIALLY on this website, which has such a tremendous concentration of talented writers that it's unbelievable.

Always happy to bring the feels if I can! Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for reading.
5907030
I won't ask, but if you wish to share, that's fine! And I'm glad this resonated with you on a personal level, too. That means a lot, it really does.
Hnnngh! Y u do dis right after that episode drained me of my feels!
5907163
I did it cuz I'm a jerk lel
Glad you thought it brought the feels, and thanks for reading!
Very ... Very well done. Absolutely an amazing short. Quite frankly, this is how i was feeling when i was watching the episode.
5907196
I'm sorry, but I haven't read them.
I will probably take a look in the future, though. It seems that you want helpful feedback, and if I can give you some, then I'd like that. Don't expect it too soon, though, because I am actually kind of busy this time of year since I have finals coming up for my classes.
Anywho, thanks for reading this, and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
5907227
It sure seems that I was not the only one with these exact thoughts bouncing around my head when I saw the episode. I'm really happy you liked it!
Looks like AJ is finally learning what subjective reality is.
5907415
Yeppur! It's an important discovery, that's for sure. It's something that anybody anywhere would always do good to keep in mind.
Thanks for reading, man.
5907453 no problem, I'm impressed how quickly after the episode you were able to get it out
This is what I was thinking, it's my head canon for sure; that line explained a lot about Applejack to me... assuming it wasn't just supposed to be a joke (Meh I hope not).
Also I also thought RD was kinda freaking out over nothing, but it was obvious the show wanted to discuss the five stages of grief without actually getting into the whole "death on a kids show" issue. I really loved the crying scene because I felt it showed us a lot about the characters (including Applejack as I said before).
Anyway, sorry for getting off on a tangent like that. The point of this comment was basically to tell you I liked the story. Once again this is my head canon so I'm glad to see someone write it out
5907515
I surprised myself on that one, too.
5907523
Thanks, really happy you liked it! Guess our headcanons are pretty much the same on this one.
And you, Applejack, will see your parents in the next life.
You at least kept it to yourself. I was an insensitive bastard in a situation much like this one.
Nice.
Wow...this story is really profound. I really could imagine Applejack thinking this, reflecting on the depth of her own loss that left her unable to cry for Rainbow's.
I'm going straight to the Applejack Fan Club on MLP Forums and recommending this.
