LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG LOOOOOOOOOOOOONG MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

E

A lot of ponies don't really get Applejack.

Mostly because she has a habit of speaking in countryisms even her family doesn't understand.

One day, a strange little dog...critter...thing shows up that's even more country than she is.

They have themselves a nice long talk...

I literally just bought Yokai Watch like an hour ago. I shall stick this in my RIL for a time after I encounter the yokai in question.

Poor Rainbow Dash. I suggest a week of listening to Rarity talk about fashion. At the very least, the banjo will get some harpsichord accompaniment.

This went from 0 to 10 likes in the time it took me to read this.

Oh my swirls, indeedy.

Mr. Gumby: "My brain hurts!"

I can't say I have ever seen Yokai Watch, but I can easily picture this with Sandy Cheeks instead. Nice, silly fic.:ajsmug:

GERA GERA PO!!

I can understand half of this. I blame my dad's side of the family tree.

6723428 I'm not anywhere near "Country" and don't personally know anyone who is, but I could understand just about all of it through context...

I only had the faintest idea who the heck Komasan was when i read the author's note at the end of the piece. Very disorienting.

I found this to be very hilarious! :rainbowlaugh:

OK, so, I was raised in the south. Not The South but, well, I've actually heard stuff like this before. I came into the story expecting to maybe understand a few of the sily saying and, well... I understood them all. I, I don't really know how to respond to that.

Apple Bloom tilted her head. "Y'got me," she said. "Usually when Applejack starts with th' countryisms, Ah jes' start hearin' banjo music in mah head until she shuts up."

That line made me give one of those high wheezing laughs, where it doesn't really come out as a laugh and you just have to stop all other bodily functions to breath. I can just see the mental image and hear the 'dinga-dang-ding' of stereotypical banjo playing.

Rainbow Dash can't hear anything but banjo music anymore.

Poor Dash, go talk with Pinkie, add some accordion. Or maybe some theremin, bit split on that one.

Fun little story, had no idea who Komasan was so I ran a Goggle search, saw "Yo-Kai Watch" as the first result and went "Oh, OK" then went back to reading. His saying is interesting. How many swirls does he have?

I've always thought of Rarity more as a harp kind of pony, but harpsichord fits as well.
Dash would probably be a bass drum, or a temple bell. Something that was loud and rang clear through the air.
Twilight is a violin, able to go from slow classical pieces to manic-motion hurryhurynow pieces to quick, but not frantic, little diddies, she's got good coverage.
Fluttershy is a triangle, subtle, playing in the background, but a key piece of some accompaniments when used right.
AJ I don't really see as a banjo though, more of a bass guitar, or maybe a snare drum, something that keeps rhythm and the others in line but not in an obtrusive or bullying way.
Pinkie is... hard to place. I learn towards theremin but, well, she's Pinkie.

6722915 You can find him in the Hills occasionally. as a character, not as a recruitable yokai.

EDIT I know you can have him join, I just don't know when.

Okay, this was just hilarious. I'm also adopting it as headcanon now that Appplejack is so country that not even her family always understands her all the time.

If I had to pick the single funniest thing in this, t was either Apple Bloom's comment about banjo music or the last line with Rainbow Dash.

HiddenMaster out.

6725512 Okayama, actually. At least, he uses the Okayama dialect. Lots of places in Japan are "the country", and the Kansai region actually is not one of them. It's just common to use the Southern dialect for Kansaiben because of its tonal quality, certain shared traits with US Southerners, etc.

(And occasionally, Kansaiben gets translated into a Brooklyn accent instead of a Southern one...)

This fic is so country I had to Google most of these and still fell short. Thumbs up.

Should I be proud or disappointed that I understood all that perfectly?

I have no idea why, but I get the distinct feeling that I'm going to hell having read this.

That story was as tasty as a plate of long creek catfish. :pinkiehappy:

I am entirely unfamiliar with the other character in question, but this was short and I needed something to kill five minutres with (and I recognised the author...)

"Usually when Applejack starts with th' countryisms, Ah jes' start hearin' banjo music in mah head until she shuts up."

This made it entirely worth it.

Hey! Nobody said anything about a spread natter! :applecry:

This story had me grinin' like a fox in the hen-house :eeyup:

Apple Bloom tilted her head. "Y'got me," she said. "Usually when Applejack starts with th' countryisms, Ah jes' start hearin' banjo music in mah head until she shuts up."

:ajbemused: "That dog don't hunt."
:applecry:
:applejackconfused:
"Bless her heart" :ajsmug:

Woah nelly...
That's mighty impressive.

Boulevard of Broken dreams, Y'all.

Well.

Yes.

And now I definitely see where this story came from.

6738042 here's his debut, if you wish to watch it.

This was absolute fun to read. :pinkiehappy:

Oh mah swirls indeed.

Georgia man here. This is legit. Good work, Myth.

Only played the video game. Oh mah swirls, that character is cute!

6738033 Interesting. I forgot a dub of this existed.

Reading this after getting into You-Kai Watch...

Oh mah swirls...

I legitimately had no idea that Komasan was country until I saw MunchingOrange's playthrough of Yo-Kai Watch on Youtube.

I just took him for a regular Yo-kai most of the time.

By the way, why was I kind of expecting Whisper to be in this story, too?

Ah jes' start hearin' banjo music in mah head until she shuts up.

*starts dueling banjos*

"Ah still ain't got no idea how Ah got here," Komasan said as he finished his second piece of pie. "Why, Ah'm more confused than a sheep dog in a saddle shop!"

As am I. But not necessarily for the reasons you are.

"Usually when Applejack starts with th' countryisms, Ah jes' start hearin' banjo music in mah head until she shuts up."

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the best line in the whole damn fic?

You hav got to make more stories like this. Maybe a collection of chapters where you pair up every pony with a yo-kai that matches them like you did for Applejack?

(bangs head against the table) STOP THE BANJO'S!!!!!!
(ps) :rainbowlaugh: I can't stop laughing at this!! this is more funny the seeing a cat trying to fish in the clouds. ............................... :twilightoops: oh snap!

Yo Kai watch. Yo Kai watch! Yo Kai Watch! YO Kai watch! YO KAI WATCH!!!
YEAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
