Short Hand: A Friendly Gesture · 5:41pm Aug 8th, 2021
Twilight: "Hello Shepherd! What's that smell?"
Shepherd: "Well, given you need more calories as an alicorn, I thought I'd whip you up some Earth foods packed with energy!"
Twilight: "Oh, that is so sweet-What did you make?"
Shepherd: "A full Mexican platter! Tamales, tacos, and-"
Twilight: "QUESADILLAS?!"
Five seconds later... Shepherd is lying outside Twilight's castle. He is covered in burns and cuts. The nearest window has been shattered and he lies in a mess of Mexican food.
Shepherd: "... Something I said...?"
Shepherd: "B-but I used dairy-free cheese!"
Wait til she sees his garden full of friendly ladybugs...

“B-but it’s still... s-so c̶̹̓h̷̝̉ẻ̷̲e̸͙͒s̵̜̿ẙ̵̰...”
Okay soo... why did Twi react like that?
Am I forgetting something?

she has a fear of quesadillas
For some reason, this reminded me of an old idea I had where myself and a bunch of authors would write chapters about us taking a pony out for a good time on Earth. I was going to write taking Applejack to the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo:
Me: "This right here is the pinnacle of human culinary endeavors. Fair Applejack, I present to you... the deep-fried Twinkie."
Applejack: takes a bite "Dear sweet Celestia, I can feel my teeth melting."
Me: "Mmm-hmm."
Applejack: "I think I can hear myself getting diabetes."
Me: "Want another one?"
Applejack: "You bet yer sweet bippy!"

Seriously?
I...
Okay I'll admit I haven't really been screwing around with ponies much but... is that canon to her character?

That's... a thing... I honestly had no idea this was a thing...
How the hell can you be afraid of mexican food?
I mean I understand being afraid of what it'll do after you eat it but... just wow.

Don't think it was supposed to make sense. Just a silly fear for a silly one-off joke.

To further elaborate on how much of a dumb one-off it was supposed to be: they completely forgot about it when it came time for the short about her getting over a silly fear via hypnosis and gave her another one.
