Holy shit, how did I miss that story?

And, not to be Captain Bring-Down or anything, but it is just slightly within the realm of possibility that the real answer is that quite a few MLP writers just don't give a damn about continuity, characters, setting, or even logic. Just shittin' out kid-vid for a paycheck while trying to sell a spec pilot is a time-honored Hollywood tradition, after all.

Well, yeah, but we don't say that aloud. :V

Oops! I guess there is a downside to being drunk in the afternoon.

or the real REAL answer is that the difficult topic isn't parental death at all. It's parental death AND incestuous teenage pregnancy.

One can never trust a writer to not play games with the fanbase's heads, after all.

Why do you always jump to the worst of all possibilities? <.<

I still hold to:

The headcanon I used in my "rated mature for sexual situations" stories--particularly History: A Romance Continued--whereby AJ's parents went through such a terrible divorce that Orange Marmalade had a nervous breakdown when she returned to Manehattan and has been locked up in a sanitarium ever since, and Red Gravenstein signed the Acres over to his kids, took a job as a cook on a cargo ship, and has sworn never to spend another night on dry land for as long as he lives.

But that's just me....
