Trick Question


Being against evil doesn't make you good.

E

Friendship can take a lot out of you, and for a middle-aged mare with her condition, there's only so much Applejack to go around.

Fortunately, this particular country mare has an ace in the hole.

Before I read, does she have POTS or ME or something similar?

I love this. I love everything about this.

It isn't specified. It's just a condition she lives with.

Oh God, I know where this is going-

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart...
Urk!

So, she got her ears talked off, and she gave a hoof . . she was asked to have an eye on something. she could not make heads or tails of something and it's no pelt of her back . . what a heartless monster.

She suffers from Poorly Drawn Older Mare syndrome, which makes her look tired all the time.

It's like she's a mr potato head.

She got that Mr. Taterhead syndrome just like Dr. Frankenstein always warned us about. What a dang shame we never listened.

OKAY, I was SO CONFUSED at first.
But I kept reading cuz I felt that my questions would be solved eventually and they Were!!
AND IT WAS DONE SO WELL OHMYGOODNESS IM IN LOVE!!!
I am just so impressed and just DAang Flabbergasted that this story exists!
(Slow clap) Well done, well done.

Thank you for writing, and may you have the spoons you need and good uses to put them to. :)

They're going to give that other stuff back, right?

She still doesn't look a day over thirty-five, if you can believe it.

I like to think that Rarity started going gray pretty much the day after Twilight's accession.

In any case, a sweet allegory indeed. A well-crafted warning to those who need to portion themselves carefully, or they could end up... well, like a recent pony toy, actually. Thank you for it.

Beautifully written and what a metaphor to boot. Thank you for sharing this.

Well, it ended for giving Applejack much better than for giving tree. Although, I don't understand what different color of stuff Dashie gives her back supposed to symbolize.

It is THE. WORST. POSSIBLE. THING! (why-why-why)

Those are just the actual colors of Rainbow Dash's body parts.

...is not a sentence I expected to read in the comments of an E-rated story. :trollestia:

My brain has a blind spot when it comes to recognizing acronyms. What are POTS, ME, MLG, and COD? (With that last one I think of Call of Duty, but I'm not familiar enough with the series.)

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, myalgic encephalomyelitis, I think they're either referring to a common German Naval cannon or else Major League Gaming (no idea which), and Call of Duty.

Congratulations on the EQD feature. :)

Rainbow Dash has some interesting powers for sure. Wow.

Interesting story! Iโ€™d like to see what Applejack would look like with some of Rainbowโ€™s parts. *imagines*
Okay, thatโ€™d be weird..

The metaphorical meaning completely flew over my head. I don't get it ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿ˜…

But the story is really good and made me feel feelings like sadness and kinda relief towards the end. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

It may help to click on the first link in the long description. (I have chronic fatigue syndrome.)

English is not my first language so thanks for taking the time to reply!
In my head, reading this was like watching an episode and it really would be weird if a pony just starts losing body parts ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ฆ

Thanks for writing such a lovely piece!

Thank you for commenting! English is a very difficult language. I don't know how polyglots manage to learn another language, let alone one with as many idioms and quirks as English. (I'm very grateful for Google Translate when I need to communicate with somepony in another language.)

Wow. This is perfect. I was a bit confused but when I got it, it made sense. This is a perfect aj character study fic, great characterisation all around. I loved the little detail about her heart. So cute:rainbowkiss:
