The main six ponies are so close some might say they're like sisters. Until you start arguing the semantics of what it means to be a family. Does it mean blood relationship and shared ancestry? How about the legal definition? Or does it just mean a group of ponies one cares deeply about? The main six start arguing the definition of family when Rainbow Dash mentions her new relationship with Scootaloo.

1792450 if that isn't Smartypants we have here :rainbowlaugh:

1792481 I meant... it was meant to be... ugh nevermind :facehoof:

:rainbowlaugh::raritywink:

1792504 Well, this video isn't available in my country, but nice try there :pinkiehappy:.

1792450 See, this is the literal definition of family.
I don't define my family as people I'm related to which is where this story came from, because I got into an argument with some friends about what family really means.

I'm with Dash & Pinkie, "Honorary" family is still just as much -or sometimes more- family that your blood relations

like seriously, I've got aunts, uncles, cousins, even siblings that aren't related to me by blood. don't give a shit, they're still more my family than my psychotic, abusive grandparents

1793777 Dash and Pinkie are me in this story.
My friend started arguing AJ's pov and got me upset. My other friend then tried to jump in an calm everyone else down with Twilight's pov. Rarity's is meant to be a tad confusing.

rarity sounded more confused than confusing :raritydespair: I've said it before, artists are stupid:derpytongue2: :rainbowlaugh: :raritycry:

1793990 Artists are not stupid and neither is Rarity...

1796981
i was kidding, all my friends & family are artists in some facet or another:raritywink:
chillax, ese :pinkiehappy:

1800225 Just checking. I'm a theatre artist myself and resent the fact that so many like to label artistically inclined people stupid. :raritydespair:

1800487
8 years of theatre, 11 years of choirs, and currently in school for recording & music theory :raritywink:
also, highly snarky :twilightsmile:

my only problem is that i cant see AJ saying these things. Its very out of character for her but overall a nice story

I'm with Pinkie and Dashie on this one. Twilight, Applejack, blood and paper don't matter. My blood family is awesome, but my chosen family is equally as awesome! Family is who you love the most and who love you back. I have an honorary aunt and brothers, and they mean as much to me as my parents. I don't have any blood siblings, but I have several honorary ones. That's why, instead of using "friends n' family" to discribe those I care about, I just say loved ones.
