Description
Just so you guys know, JTM stands for "Just a Thought in the Morning." It'll be a prefix to any new comics that I'll make containing similar themes to the one above.
---
Ahhh! I'm never doing something like this ever again! This comic page is long and cost me too much time to make. I'm usually someone who likes to paint in one sitting because if I stop, I'm probably not gonna come back to it. But I wanted this comic finished (it's been almost 2 years since that Pinkie comic I made and no, it didn't take me 2 years to make this one, that would be CRAZY inefficient!). I just started like 4 or 5 days ago and I knew it would take me a while but man I hated that.
*Side note:
A bunch of people keep taking from the paragraph above that I'm not gonna be doing this anymore. What I meant by the rant above is that I'm not gonna set myself up to render out a comic that is long and heavy on the lighting and mood panel by panel. I'm not that good. But I know I'm stubborn so I might do it anyway.
Anyway, enough of that rant. Above is a concept about Applejack and her... problem. What if she couldn't make babies? I felt she needed more depth because she's kinda flat in the show so I gave her this! Now she has more reason to be so family oriented.
So enjoy the comic guys, or don't. It all depends on what you choose to take in ^_^
If any of you guys haven't seen the last one I made, click HERE to read it.
I have a couple other of these kind of comics in production. I'll probably make one for each of the Mane 6 so stay tuned (hopefully not 2 years worth of waiting this time around, XD)
---
And oh, the story was gonna take a different turn before what you've just read. It would have transpired differently but with the same theme and had to do with oranges as you can see here in the conceptual painting of it: The Orange in the Basket
And there was even one where it involved a daisy.
I might post those for you guys to see, or not. Depends whether I'll be lazy to do so. But it was hard to pinpoint how the story would come together in both those so I ditched them.

I actually didn't know that. I guess it makes part of the comic a happy accident.

I can imagine for somepony as family-oriented as Applejack, the thought of not being able to have her own foals (let alone not being able to carry on the family line) would be a heartbreaking thing.

That's very sad, and very touching. Beautifully-drawn, too; I have to apologize for being unable to think of much else to say, but I really love this comic. Thank you for sharing it.

Oh, absolutely it did. I got quite misty-eyed reading it, and that's no exaggeration. I tend to relate strongly to others' ordeals, and I'm not ashamed to show my feelings, but nonetheless it takes a good artist to portray these ordeals convincingly. You very much did here.

You give the ponys a very deep Character and I hope you keep up the good work.
Now that Applebloom sees the letter, will there be maybe more pages from Applejack?

This... this. This was so moving and well-executed. I especially love the evolution of AJ's facial expressions-- you can always tell just what's racing through her mind.
It sounds from the description like you plan never to do another of these again. If that stays true, I completely respect the reasons you gave. But it's clear from this and the Pinkie comic that you have some really insightful things to say about our beloved ponies, and I hope you choose to tell the rest of their stories sometime.

I guess I can see why you'd think but nah! What I meant was to never make a comic as long and rendered as the one above. It takes too much effort and I'm lazy!
Near the end of the description, I said that there are other comics like this one currently in production. Mostly likely one for each of the Mane 6. So stay tuned! They might be here sometime in the future

Wonderful and touching comic you've made.
I like to see the ponies in those kind of situation. Of course, more joyful.
Happy new year.

Aaaaaaaand now Apple Bloom is scared at the worst, freaking out about what she said and thinking she is an insensitive monster; or believes she now has some sort of prophetic abilities at the best.
