Description
OK, OK, this will be the last Applejack page for a while. I promise to do another character page after this (Hint, it's gonna be Fluttershy).This page says all of the stuff that I had floating around in my mind when I decided to make Applejack argue with Twilight Sparkle. I hope that it explains why I had things this way.
This page took a lot longer than I expected as I had other things on, and because I was having difficulty concentrating on it for various reasons. Applejack running in Frame 1 took much longer than I expected, as it's a different pose from all of the other ones that I've done, and I'm still not happy with it. It's not a very good pose at all.
You might also notice that I've put Applejack in shadow for half of the comic. As her mood gets more depressed she goes further and into the shadow of the outhouse, until she's completely in shadow. she doesn't come out of the shadow until Frame 13, which is where she makes up with Twilight, and it's a happy comic again. Lots of hugs, please.

This page was created in Inkscape and Photoshop. Most of the foreground characters were scratch drawn for this page, or for previous pages.
I've used gameguy001 's Sweet-Apple-Acres as a background for all frames ([link] ). Though I modified it slightly as I wanted to put a shadow in for the fence.
Applejack's Cutie Mark was created by BlackGryph0n ([link] ).
The pose in Frame 8, 9, 10 and 11 is based on a vector of Rarity drawn by RedPandaPony [link] .
The pose from Frame 13 is based on StratTremolo's [link]

So, in this interpretation, what DOES it mean to be an Earth pony? If it's nothing more than a lack of wings of Horn, I'm going to severely disappointed.
Not that that should mean anything to you.

It's a bit more than that. Earth ponies have a special connection with the land meaning they are better farmers and have exceptional strength hence Applejack's somewhat impossible tree-bucking ability. Actually there was a video that explained that to use enough force to knock the apples off that would break her bones but.... another topic. It's a type of magic just a less obvious one.

When I started writing this comic, the show's writers hadn't really defined it.

It doesn't really matter what I think, but I always assumed they had more to them.

Of courE said ponies who thin earth ponies are just farmershsve clearly never met photo finish or filthy rich or hoirty toirty ( or was he unicorn I forgot )Β

Most of the first 20 or so pages are based on my own upbringing in a small town, and the attitudes that you get in places like that.

FYI, there is no link to part 9 from this page.Β This problem exists in a few other pages as well.

Yes, Applejack, because there are no construction ponies, or baker ponies.
Her reasoning still doesn't make much sense.Β She picked Applejack BOTH because she was an earth pony and a friend.Β It wouldn't make much sense to ask Rainbow Dash about being an earth pony. And she wouldn't go up to some random earth pony to ask them about things.
At least she realized her mistake.

That's a pretty old comic, it's several years old.

But people could still be only now discovering it, like me. It would still be a good idea.

You might wanna consider updating your links on all of your pages, because when I hit this one I thought that was the end until I looked in your gallery.

No. No. Twilight. No, Twilight.
WHY ARE YOU ACCEPTING HER APOLOGY.
π: 0 β©: 1
YEAH WHY, SHE'S A HUGE JERK!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
No she's not! Aj is the second best pony!! She definitely is NOT A JERK!!!!
π: 0 β©: 1
I know that!!! I just don't like her overreaction!!! After all, she gets very angry easily and always speaks without a second thought when she gets angry!!! Even if she gets angry, most of the time, AJ is also the second Best pony, like you said, and I agree. It's just her temper that bothers me.

Ok I was joking anyway

That's okay, you're forgiven!!Β Β Β Β Β Β Β

/fourth WALL BREAK APPLEJACK!!!! O.O Oh god.. in the 7th panel! HER TAIl IS STICKING OUT OF THE PANEL!!

Well, considering the fact that she IS a mare, isn't that appropriate?

Twilight is forgiving much, much more easily than I would be.
Honesty doesn't mean letting your heart speak first. Honesty isn't about going guns a-blazing and being rude and aggressive because you feel like it.
That's being supremely dumb.
Honesty is telling how things are based on how you see them.
Oh, for Goodness' Sake, AJ! How can you be so thick? She didn't come to you just because you are a farm pony. She came because she needs help. And you are ALSO her friend, and are supposed to know more about being an earth pony than the pegasi and unicorns.
Seriously, that's like snapping at a friend because (s)he needs an urgent advice on something you're good at.

Forced conflict immediately resolved with no reason to.
I feel like I missed a comic in between 7 and 8.

The reason would be AJ's remorse at snapping at Twi' like that.
