IT BEGINS · 7:35pm Oct 8th, 2016
It had seemed like such a little thing at the time. But that night, lying in her bed, Applejack’s thoughts kept returning to that moment, when she had stuffed an apple in her big brother’s big mouth. She replayed the event in her head, recalling the slight resistance as the fruit slid against his teeth, and that look of surprise on his face. The memory made her feel funny inside—but it was a good kind of funny. A really, really nice kind of funny.
Applejack considered asking somepony else what these kinds of feelings meant. But she was really more of a hooves-on learner, as she’d be the first to admit. So the idea of figuring out these feelings by doing it all over again—by feeding somepony besides Big Mac and seeing whether she enjoyed it as much—certainly appealed to her more. Applejack closed her eyes and contemplated who in Ponyville would make the best target.
With a smile on her face, the young farmer drifted into sweet dreams where she stuffed her friends’ faces with bushels upon bushels of apples...
Taking the Apple Bloom Approach, I see.
You know, I had that same idea when I saw this part of the episode. I mean, I didn't think of that same exact story, but my mind wandered into fetish-fuel territory.
I've often wondered about how many kids see something like this when they're young, and it flips a switch in the back of their brains, not to be discovered until much later. I also wonder what I saw as a kid that flipped the switch in my own head.

From what I've heard, a lot of inflation fans credit slapstick cartoons for flipping the switch. (That, or Violet turning into a blueberry in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.) I think for me, personally, it was that scene with the vacuum cleaner at the beginning of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I watched a lot of cartoon while growing up, and saw a lot of inflation jokes, but the Roger Rabbit one always stuck out to me. And then, after puberty hit, I just ignored my earlier fixation for a while, and nearly forgot it altogether. Then, just a few years back, I randomly stumbled on some FIM inflation art, which flipped the switch back on—and this time, a lot stronger.
I wonder sometimes, how many modern cartoon creators are deliberately sneaking fetish fuel in, and how many are just paying homage to old gags without caring one way or the other about the fetishists.

A few years ago, if you told me cartoon creators were purposely sneaking in fetish fuel, I would have wondered on the validity of such a statement... but then I saw "Totally Spies". The shear volume of kinks that are crammed into nearly every episode is borderline hilarious, and there's no way it happened on accident. After that, I started paying attention to the possibility that other shows might have done the same thing. Going back to watch some of the cartoons from the 80's, 90's and even some of the classics showed just how *much* fetishy stuff they contained. It's kind of impressive, actually.
