Fabulous, darling.

Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash discuss Earth pony and Pegasus magic and what makes Earth ponies special.

Big thanks to Jackie for prereading even when I got defensive about some commas. (Commas are evil.)

I love it. Appledashlight. Stories of earth pony magic always intrigue me. I like the thought of the Alicorns having all three types of magic.

It's definitely a cute little story, certainly an interesting pairing.

Yay! Appledashlight! Appledashlight that ain't Appledash + Twi or Twidash + AJ!

The world needs more Appledashlight. I'm working on mine, the rest of you hop to it! Y'all have your assignments.

"I thought it would be really great to have the help of two of the best ponies I've ever known, who each just happen to epitomize their respective races."

"So the next time you happen to run into Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, if you could ask them, I'd appreciate it."

Thanks! :pinkiesmile:

I've been wanting to write something AppleDashLight, especially because the poor romance folder there was empty. :raritycry: I knew it had to be a true three way relationship if I did, and I had all this headcanony pony magic stuff floating around that seemed like a good fit.

:rainbowlaugh: Not in this headcanon, sorry. As bookplayer put it: Applejack is the earth-poniest earth pony who ever earth-ponied. I agree and I find Rainbow the same for pegasi. Which is not to disparage the rest of the Mane 6. Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rarity are all wonderful ponies, but I see them having a mixed heritage and not as strongly attuned to a single pony race (not to imply this is a bad thing).

Agreed. Fluttershy feels half earth pony, and Pinkie must have unicorn blood in her somewhere.

Story wise... Cute. As usual, I'd love to see a continuation of this - the actual scientific research, so to speak ;)

Awww, love A.J and Rainbow being held by Twilight's wings. :rainbowkiss:

This is a nice, short, sweet piece Jondor.

I hope we see more Appledashlight in the future from the fandom.

Is three way shipping the new in thing now? Seems to be popping up more and more. People must be tired of shipping different pairs of the Mane 6 together.

Glad to see this finally up here! :pinkiehappy: As said before, it was a great read! :twilightsmile: Thumbed up and faved.

And...

Big thanks to Jackie for prereading even when I got defensive about some commas. (Commas are evil.)

Sweet Celestia, THIS. Heh, I do not know why, but commas are just such pesky things :ajbemused:

Hmm... Mane 6 six-way relationship. Not just Twi-harem, a six way relationship. Someone provide!

I love how this entire story takes place in one setting. We need fan art of it. My vote is for RatofDrawn. (he recently did a three way ship pic with Rainbow, Applejack, and Rarity.)

there is something i love just as much as a hot threesome. earth ponies and why they are awesome. i always like reading fanfics that talk about earth pony magic and just how awesome earth ponies are in general. i always thought pinkie was part pegasus even when some say she's part unicorn. in my headcanon pinkie's real father is a pegasus. now fluttershy she's an earth pony with wings simple.:rainbowwild:

Dddaaawww (explodes of adorableness):pinkiehappy:

>but it’s size had nothing

I always, always get those backwards. :ajsleepy:

I'd like to know who came up with that rule. It would be so much simpler and more consistent if it was just an apostrophe ALL the time. :facehoof:

That explains EVERYTHING! :pinkiecrazy:

I'm pretty sure that was the joke.

Alright, well, because you made the assertion that 75% of downvotes on this site are trolling, I'll fess up here:

I downvoted this story and I didn't leave a comment.

So, why did I downvote this? What is wrong with it?

Honestly, the real problem with this story is that it felt very light and fluffy, but it didn't really go anywhere or do anything. It didn't really feel like it had any substance to it. It wasn't that it was bad, or that the characters acted out of character, or anything like that. It just felt pointless.

Not trying to be nasty or anything, but yeah. I downvoted without saying anything (naughty me, I know, especially given that I myself would like to know how to improve my own work) but that's why I downvoted this.

SO THERE.

See, now we're getting somewhere. :derpytongue2:

It IS light and fluffy, but I don't think it's fair say it has no substance. There is precious little canonical information about earth pony magic, and that's what this story is primarily about, against a backdrop of pony cuddles because pony cuddles are awesome. It would probably be fair to say that it has not enough substance; even I would like there to be more, I just didn't have any more at the time to include.

ok i'll just bluntly say i'd love to see this turned into a full blown story. but that might just be me. but even if that doesn't happen this was great.

“Unicorns have great minds to harness the raw power of magic and Pegasi have a courageous spirit to tame the heavens, but Earth ponies have strong bodies and the indomitable will needed to shape the earth itself where all ponies live.”

Great quote. Gonna steal it for future use. No return. :rainbowkiss:

A very fluffy and adorable fic, but I kind of missed the Unicorn side like a Rarity popping out of the closet, demanding some explanantion how important Unicorns are to the pony society as well. And the three of them are like "did you seriously watched us make out in the closet?". :rainbowlaugh:

Hehe. Quote it all you like. :rainbowkiss:

If I ever do get around to writing the sequel, it will have stuff about unicorns as well, don't worry.

This ship is just epic... :rainbowkiss::twilightblush::ajsmug:

2372294 The explanation I've heard and liked is that possessive pronouns never have apostrophes. "His" and "mine," therefore "hers," "yours," "theirs," and "its."

Very sweet, very moving. Thank you. :twilightsmile:

A sweet and introspective tale. I enjoyed how you brought up the advantages of each pony race without making any one seem inferior to the others. Thank you for this.

Uh, Twilight is the Princess of Friendship, isn't she? :ajbemused:

Or am I greatly wrong.....? :applejackunsure:

Maybe take a look at the publish date, bub. This was written shortly after S3 ended, we didn't know what her title was then.

6635412

Uhm, yeah. I noticed, :twilightblush: right after I posted my comment.

My apologies, I just got here, in this site and even in the fandom, :ajsleepy: and i only hold the slightest of idea on how this thing works. I really hope you understand. :pinkiesmile:

“Unicorns have great minds to harness the raw power of magic and Pegasi have a courageous spirit to tame the heavens, but Earth ponies have strong bodies and the indomitable will needed to shape the earth itself where all ponies live.”

I... I may have to borrow this line at some point, somewhere. It's just too damn good.
