Im not gonna hurt you

The *_storm_* is coming
Aj is a mare cannonically
Really?????? Didn't know that !!@@Mistfall254
Oh! If Pinkie has tiny under-developed wings, that could relate to Scootaloo, since she has the same condition. Maybe in this AU Scoots looks up to Pinkie as another disabled pegasus, and Rainbow as the symbol of everything she wishes she could achieve.
That is so sweet❤
Funny enough I always suspected that Pinky was sufreing from something similar, just something trigger my detective mode and started to connect dots.
It's been a time but I'm all most certain that suspicion of Pinky being well Pinky was possible because of an imbalance in magic.
Surprisingly this idea came because of a DXD fanfiction that I had been reading, in wich they declared that if a devil, angel or fallen angel lose their wings for what ever motive they cannot use their magic well, lose a chunk of there power or can't use magic all together.
And the wings are important in that society meaning that if a devil had underdeveloped wings magic for them have secondary effects
thb i started tweeking every time apple jack was called a boy, but i stfu when i saw that design LIKE LOOK HOW AWESOME IT LOOKS!!!
I'm so sorry, you mentioned Flurryheart and I kinda wanted to rant about her for a moment. Her introduction confused the entire fanbase. ESPECIALLY Celestia and Luna's reaction to her birth. It was assumed that Celestia and Luna were born alicorns but I guess not?? And then we didn't really get an explanation for it. Like... not much is really known about Celestia and Luna and Flurry's birth could've been a chance for them to expand upon their background a bit and tell us something about those 2 OTHER than the whole Nightmare Moon thing. On top of that, Flurry wasn't really shown in any other episodes other than her introduction. I think she was either mentioned or shown for a few seconds like... 3 or 4 more times after that episode. I just think that something as big as a natural born alicorn being introduced in the show is a good opportunity to develop the story a tiny bit just to figure out how and why she happened or even make her a target to the villains in the show, since she's kinda rare I guess. I know the show was made for kids but with how many adults also watch the show, I would think that they would work on the story a bit more. I know there are comics, I haven't read them so I don't really know if more of Celestia and Luna's background was shown or if Flurry ever got the spotlight.
Also I love your artstyle, it's so cute and I just love the redesigns
Candace was a pegasus and earned her horn, Twilight was a Unicorn, and only unicorns turned Alicorns have the…pretty, flowing mane- Pegasus get like…shading on their wings, so I’ve read
FLUTTERSHY SMOKES GRASS TO HELP HER ANXIETY
Lauren actually wanted pinkie to have wings for a while before the pilot and fluttershy was supposed to be an earth pony but she decided to switch them and i don’t remember why 😭
i like these designs but personally im not really down with aj being a boy. not cuz its lesbian erasure cuz from what i remembered its not really confirmed she is one. but mostly cuz it comes off as cliche tbh. like i love ftm hcs for characters like pinkie, fluttershy, rarity or maybe even twilight but idk about one of the most masc leaning ponies yknow? thats just me tho smooth sailing for you and again, cool redesigns!
I headcanon your AppleJack and RainbowDash do their T shots together
THIS FOR REAL
OH YMG OD THEY DO
Damn I prefer AppleJack as a girl since there isn't a lot of masculine female characters I grew up with.
Same. I was kinda confused when they said Applejack was a boy
I feel like this takes away what characters signifying, rainbow dash is obviously a tomboy. Everyone seems to make her and AJ guys, just for being a bit more masculine, but that's the point, there suppose to be masculine girls. As a tomboy as a kid Rainbow Dash was always that one character I related too, for the simple fact that she was a girl that like doing what typical "boys" like, but was still a girl.
@@keyboardkets379 There isn't many butch woman characters so I get it
@@12toro exactly, like for example encanto, there was this whole thing going around, about Luisa being trans just cuz she was buff. People do realize woman can get beefed up too, right?
Fun fact! theres a nurse character in mlp that had the red nurses cross in her cutie mark, it had to be changed after a while due to violationing the Geneva convention. Nurse red heart i think her was
If you don’t know what Little Miss Rarity is, I believe it’s a horror webcomic
It has a whole lot of gore and not good body modifications
why are so many people getting so upsetty spaghetti over mlp headcanons?
this is just a fun little speedpaint and y'all are getting butthurt over it
1:39 Applejack's a girl last I checked, did something change?????
Welp, it is canon. But this video is mostly headcanons😅
Oh okay
I feel like your Fluttershy would be an even greater match with Discord, they would be such a neat couple
The Persona click noises had me so happy ehakjbag
The amount of people who are misinformed about canon and also can't understand basic sarcasm are alarming
Your commentary is something else.
I laughed way too much at the flurry heart part
I love your commentary! You had me laughing! No wonder Pinkie is your favorite, you and her are so alike! I love the redesigns! They’re so cute and true to character! I love male AJ too- he’s so cool!!
I liked how you did the clean version of the dreads for Fluttershy. I always imagined her in butterfly dreads. :3
Correction! Sometime after twilight became a alicorn she’s the tallest
Im so sorry but now that i think about it, Rainbowdashes hair be looking like a toothpaste😭✋
imagine flurry heart had a Pegasus twin but they fused together early on in development and the wings just stuck with her Cx
Personally I’m obsessed with twilights design it’s just so pretty and she’s literally pulling the most judgemental b- -y face imaginable I love it
You sound like you dont have a written script(I mean this EXTREMELY positively btw i love your energy)
your art style is so incredibly edible and your redesigns are literally gorgeous???? chef's kiss, 10/10, no notes
What if the main 6 is in some emergency, and Fluttershy is missing, and when the five friends go to check on her, Fluttershy's just high asf
Also, drunk AJ
My dyslexic high ass read this as "What if the main 6 had an emergency because fluttershy was MISSING and when they finally find her she's just high asf" :)
@@WoodenWren that's honestly better
yo I'm here to add some positivity here (given how many ppl keep being mean for litirally the most braindead reasons) and like. this shit slaps man. I love all the designs and hope all this negativity about this dosent bog you down at all yk? wishin you the best even tho it might mean nothin. keep makin cool stuff and inspiring ppl man.
Oh my god, yes! I love this so much! The Applejack and Pinkie designs are sooo cool! I love the idea of Fluttershy being super tall and lanky. And I love the idea of AJ being transmasc, this whole video is just amazing! Your very talented and I love everything about all of these redesigns.
I love how applejack's mom looks like shes SO FUCKING CUTEEEEEEE
You should do the CMC!!!!! I’d love do see that Applebloom would look like in your style
I have some plans in the making 😌
Why does everyone hates twilight? she's my fav😔 No hate on u of course! (Love ur redesigns!!❤)
SHE'S MY FAV TOO
DID YOU JUST UN-LESBIAN APPLE JACK? (This is a joke, idm when characters are genderbent)
Edit: OH MY GOD TRANS MASC APPLE JACK??? I LOVE YOUR REDESIGN SO MUCH 🥺, I want more, of your apple Jack, feed me.
I in full honestly don’t know who you are or that you existed but you just appeared on my feed and I absolutely am so glad I clicked on the video because I love your designs and the commentary is sending me 😭
My goal is to keep getting more and more unhinged as time passes, glad to hear people are liking it! 🤡
@@WoodenWren please keep it up I absolutely love it lmao
Tiny pinkie is best pinkie
“They’re looking in very specific directions.. that might be influenced by my ships” PINKE PIE X READER??????
AJ is just a She/He apple horse, and that's okay. Gender is weird lol. He came out really nice, and I think she's my favorite design. Its so unique yet feels so in-sync w/ the OG vibe
She/he pronouns are fine but they hurt my brain I’m sorry lmao
@MarkiplierEdits lol it's cool. Again, Gender is so weird. Just think of it that AJ just switches btwn them, and either fits at any point unless stated otherwise
@@callieb168 alright
While I don't like your redesigns specifically for the characters, I love your art style, they all look fantastic 😁 I'll definitely be watching the princesses redesign
We transmasc genderfluid AJ? Respecc
the reason they didn’t make cider episodes is bc cider in most countries is alcoholic and those episodes could only be aired in us and Canada I think
Shame really, it was a cool concept imo
holy shit why are people being so judgy?? these are some of the most unique, pleasing designs ever!! I absolutely adore applejack’s whole design, with the seeds and colors?? and the bandana!! eek!! i always viewed applejack as a closeted transmasc 🫶 as well as well as rarity n PINKIE PIE!? PINKIES SO EEK I ADORE HERE. SHES SO PRETTY AND BAKERY-THEMED AND ADORABLE AND OML!! I WANT HER.
IF YOU DO DO A PRINCESS VIDEO; Will you do Shining Armour? Since he is technically a prince 💀
He'll be there ;)
@@WoodenWren UGGH I LOVE YOU ❤️❤️
hearing you call applejack a "him" is so funny to me because i too thought rainbow dash and apple jack were male
I love the designs and all, but I just wanna ask one thing. Why did you refer to wanting Rainbow Dash to look slutty??? Interesting word choice for a quadruped pony.
bro its not that deep
the girls who get it, get it, n the girls who don’t, don’t 😻🤭
It's a joke about characters with half lidded eyes looking sultry, it's not that deep
is i really like twilight and was like “WHATTATT” WHEB YOU SAID SHE WAS AN ASSHOLE LMAO
some of these comments didnt pass the vibe check not gonna lie. as an ex brony i LOVE THESE DESIGNS SO MUCH. your rarity. the corset piercings. i had to stop everything and tell my bestie about her in particular, because i just. UGH. its perfect. i love your green he/she applejack so much it's the only headcanon i'm accepting anymore. and pinkie being frosted with teeny little wings, UGH❗❗ i loved the litle lines on rainbow's wings, it's so clever and eye catching! i personally think her cutiemark is really neat looking, too.
and as a weedsmoker who loves fluttershy. she definitely does smoke weed (im high commenting this)
Honestly you're the exact type of person I made this for, you get me fr 😊
Fluttershy is a big comfort mama of a character in this, i am living for it with my entire body and soul.
All these designs are pretty good. Fluttershy and Applejack especially look amazing. I think the only problem I can think of is their increased complexity making animation a headache. Would be less of a problem in 3D though.
I also agree on the cutie marks. The real Pinkie's mark kind of works to get across her party-planner talent, and Rainbow Dash's one obviously didn't need much though the sonic rainboom ring you added is a nice touch. But then your version of Rarity's especially really gets across her talent a lot better.
Also, having a male character like you Applejack is really a good idea. I mean, they did it in gen 5 with Hitch, so obviously Hasbro has learned that already.
I don't really know how I feel about the redesigns while thinking of them as the characters, but I can say for certain that they're very cute stylistically! And I respect any and all headcanons and redesigns regardless of how I'm feeling about them.
They're adorable and fluffy and I love them! My favorite is Pinkie, she reminds me of Sylveon (but if a Sylveon was cake/cupcake!!!) :)
Also I love the voiceover and the personality, so this is an epic awesome video.
13:36 the red sketch on the far right looks like Edward elric from fullmetal alchemist....👀
Imagine:
Fluttershy: *standing over rainbow dash*
Rainbowdash: SINCE WHEN DID YOU GET SO TALL!?
I will admit I agree with that point on twilight in the finale. I wish that she didn’t just become purple celestia to put it simply because if that’s how being an alicorn worked Cadence and especially Luna would look like that as well. One detail I remember liking is that when she did become an alicorn she kept her usual look she was just slightly taller than her friends, I assumed that because she was new she was smaller than the other 3.
Cadence could have been made into an alicorn fairly recently, but a good while before twilight, and she already had a strong, lanky build. Luna was a younger sister, as the show went on and Luna eventually came back into the forefront, she had obviously gone through some changes as she got older in the background.
I think Celestia and Luna were made into alicorns by starswirl the bearded, they had all of the powers of earth, pegasi, and unicorn, starswirl saw an opportunity in these super powerful unicorns and made them more powerful, and into the perfect leaders for generations.
Self-correction, I know Luna wasn't perfect, but she was for a long time until she became jealous of the attention her big sister was gaining from being princess of the sun.
Culd we pretend that airuuplaness in the nightskie arue like shuuting staurs
"i am cooking, i am not disrespecting" xdd
1- I absolutely love the designs and lore they are so pretty and just amazing what
2- why are so many people im the comments so homophobic and just braindead??? If yall dont like something just go away omfg 💀
I feel like only a brony would know what a brony is... just saying because of the thumbnail😂
Mr and Mrs cake adopted the twins instead of pushing Mrs cake pushing em out, because there is no way that happened - As for Flurryheart. Shining Armor is a Unicorn and Cadence was a Pegasus, (I think) so if you turn on bothe genes you would get an alicorn.
omg aj has a scar on his nose cause he plays rough with his brother and she gets hurt a bit, i love that idea 😿💖
Helllooo I want to start off with that I LOVE your artstyle!!! I found you while looking for inspo on ponies and I really appreciate your humor, designs, and general just little notes and everything
Hey! I super appreciate the support!! ❤
I want it noted that I never came at anyone in this comment section with anything besides the same energy they had coming at me. Play stupid games win stupid prizes. I legitimately have people accusing me of being a rac!st horrible person in this comment section- and that's been leaking into other parts of my channel. I can't NOT say anything. And while I also appreciate the concern over my mental health, I know what not to do around the public. I was not in a heightened state while responding to anyone who left commentary on this video.
I don't take MOST of the hate comments I get seriously, and yes I will sometimes just mock those people. Since 60% of the people here have clearly never heard the concept of "If you don't have something nice to say then don't say it" those people get to experience the consequences of their own actions. I don't see why those who want to hurt others just for the sake of it should go unpunished- it's not like anything I say back to them actually bothers them, and if it does GREAT, they learned their lesson on why we don't just say sh!t strangers on the internet. If my view point is something you can't support I totally get it, a younger version of myself would probably feel similar. But I'm a strong believer that you shouldn't dish out what you can't take- If you can't handle the negativity you get back after putting your own negativity into the world then the internet really isn't the place for you.
I made a fun silly video where I shared my crazy goofy clown side, and the comment section looks like a war zone, I don't know how we got here.
Pinkie is such a tiny creature, and its adorable. We need more tiny Pinkie.
If your not gonna do pompadour rainbow THEN I WILL
Holy crap the piercing corset was a little odd to me at first, but its such a unique idea and its absolutely gorgeous. Ive NEVER thought about rarity having shiny piercings in a redesign all the details you added in the mane six are all so beautiful and unique❤ btw he/she pronouns applejack goes hard
I actually went ahead and used the exact same hairstyle from your rarity redesign for mine whoop (not gonna upload in anywhere so doesn’t matter anyways, just wanted you to know I love it so much)
If someone ran with these designs and made a comic I would read it SOOOO HARD!!! I love the designs ❤
Actually, I'd say your Fluttershy redesign looks like her friend Tree Hugger.
I often wonder why people get so pissed about a characters gender being changed- sure, the original was this or that, but in the end the gender change is an AU or a headcannon. Its not part of the show. Chillax 😀
First video I'm seeing from you but I'm getting so many Welcome Home vibes from you
I mean, the way you drew the pompadour on rainbow dash and your avatar-
I love that so much
Massively in love with Welcome Home! I'd love to do smth with that fandom someday!
Not a brony-(special interest rants for 30 mins)
Jk in all realness the designs are epic and i love your energy for this. AND YOUR RIGHT RAINBOW IS A SLUTTY LESBIAN
I never comment on YT, but I wanted to share some love in this wretched comment section! I haven't watched much MLP, but I watch a lot of redesign videos, and it's awesome to see someone really stretch their designs :3 I know you don't like Twilight, but THAT COLOR PALETTE!! AAA!! And you put so much thought into the accessories and it's so fksfdksskj
And transmasc AJ is good, actually.
While i personally have fallen in love with the Flutterguy concept, I am all for the male Applejack.
I headcannon transmasc applejack
I dont think we saw post time skip cadence so she could be tall, im pretty sure she was taller than most ponies
Honestly I love the AJ design so much, without the apple seeds it would have looked a little weird but those just pulled it all together and made the concept super clear and cute. Also obviously Pinkie, she is literally perfect. I’m all here for transmasc rep especially because RD is still a masc gal and it seems like everyone here is super bi lol. Also RARITY!! Love her nightmare color palette so much, and the little glasses you kept in there are precious.
But damn u didn’t have to call Twilight a bitch 😭 she’s just neurodivergent. (This is a lighthearted joke, not serious). I always read her as having serious anxiety and maybe being on the spectrum so she’s not gonna be everyone’s cup of tea but I love her goofy ass.
MLP headcanons:
Fluttershy: Practices alternative medicine and is a homeopath but sometimes goes to medical centres when in dire need. Because of this, she got some back pain and went to a chiropractor who, while helping her height and pain, made it more difficult to fly with her wings after a long period of time. Meaning she usually walks or used her wings for other things than flying because she'll just be in pain after a few minutes of being in the air.
Rainbow Dash: Dropped out of school due to the education system not adjusting itself to the way she learns things. Has undiagnosed A.D.H.D. Rainbow Dash also has a cousin who went to Marehatten to become a sports commentator and team manager after an injury while flying in a race resulted in her being unable to fly for the rest of his life. He soon explored sports and started participating in triathalons and olypmics before switching to team management after another injury meant they'd have to no longer play sports permanently. Rainbow Dash still is in contact with her cousin after her family casually and synonymously disown her cousin without saying it out loud. They don't hate him exactly but he doesn't fit into their expectations as a part of their family. Rainbow Dash usually comes over to Marehatten with her pet turtle so they can play with their cousin together.
Rarity: Has a background of old money, her parents mostly use said money for vacation while Rarity and Sweetie Belle save said money for themselves and mainly live in ponyville due to cheaper land mean a lot of money is left over for personal needs and wants.
Applejack: Has a business relationship with her neighbour, Carrot Top, who they both fund for a pear farm in another part of Ponyville. For Carrot Top, it's for money and business purposes. For Applejack, it's for the fact that he doesn't know much about his mother or grandfather besides them being a pear family. Noticing how it affects Granny Smith, he decided to open the pear orchard in secret as an ode to his mother who he doesn't know much about.
Twilight: Magic Kindergarten was traumatising for her. Not that it's because she used to be dumb but because she just wasn't as smart as the others. The other kids usually picked on her and downplayed her achievements in magic despite them being incredible. This lead to a lack of self-esteem until she met moondancer who has the same amount of intellect but has a backbone. With moondancer, they got along through school grades but sadly went to different high schools and academies, losing touch. Twilight than became a bad friend since the only one she considered was special to her was moondancer, others didn't seem to meet up with her standards and so she valued her own personal time in studies rather than her clique. She got back in touch with moondancer before being sent to ponyville, but because of their differences growing up they also cut contact.
Pinke Pie: She's adopted, having been born from a forbidden relationship from a draconaquies and an Apple (a member of Applejack's family) and was sent to the pie family Superman style. The pies brought her up carefully but due to a famine and bad soil they had to switch to a rock farm instead of a wheat farm. The parents became geneologists and brought up Pinkie's sisters to follow that course except for Pinkie who just kept to the same expectation as a rock farmer. After the rainboom and getting her talent, she decided to travel the world after a party which exhausted her family, she began raking in money via street performances before being hired by the cakes at sugar cube corner where she keeps in contact via a phone she gifted to Maud Pie.
Little miss rarity is a creepypasta where she likes pain too much it falls into Rainbow Factory and Pinkamena kind of creepypasta
to be honest when i first heard you call aj he/him i just assumed you made him transgender (which 100% is very fun to do and i love), good luck soldier for all future youtube brainrot comments 🫡 i wish you the best of luck, your redesigns look fun and i will lurk your channel to learn more of your mlp headcanon lore
HOLD UP LET ME EXPLAIN!
The mane six's ages' range from 16-20 and in equestria girls there all teens so it could be that twilight is a teen so she full on could've had a growth spurt, her having wings and a horn make her royalty and because celestia was the queen she was only a princess, but in the future celestia either dies or retires and twilight becomes queen because twilight was like her top student and celestia didn't have any kids so twilight took over and the creators were just like "Let's make twilight kinda like celestia!" so yeah.
Heck yeah fluttershy with horns! My design of her has horns too, but from so much exposure to Discords chaos magic
I like that idea! Iz cool
these designs are absolutely gorgeous, don't let any retractors make you feel bad!!! they're wonderful redesigns.
I ADORE these!!! They’re the first mlp redesigns that really stuck out to me. They Inspired me to make my own mlp redesigns!,! I know you said you don’t like twilight but her design is my absolute favorite. I love the colors and the overall design!!!
stumbled upon this video by complete accident but i adore your style so much!!! the designs are dopeeeee i loved all of then 🥺
I love how colourful they all are! Especially as Rainbow Dash finally looks like a smug, not exclusively sporty in her smugness type. Flutters and AJ show that you can overhaul a design and yet keep the iconic pieces.
Absolutely adore tiny Pinky and short queen Dashie, they're impossibly adorable
Also omg Applejack? Sir? Looking (dis)respectfully
Ngl i feel like both Rarity and Twilight would judge my appearance, but while Rarity would offer constructive criticism, Twilight would just straight up assault me and I'm living for it
Flutter, u silly goat, id smoke with u any day
Am i the only one who kept the fact in their head that they were looking at each others crushes in the end pic? So youre telling me Twilight and Rainbowdash both have a crush on pinky, pinky likes no one bc she looks into the camera and fluttershy likes Rainbow? Damn if this was canon that would be pure chaos 😃
I think changing up apple jacks cutie mark when the meaning was so big and stuff is kinda a odd choice but otherwise I really love your designs even with that small issue I had :o
I think Miss Cake cheattted...
22:09 The reason that flurryheart is a pure alicorn is because she was born from an alicorn mother, Luna and Celestia were not born like that, they were born as unicorns and they aren’t even actually siblings either they were just mentored together. Celestia has actual siblings since she has a nephew that looks exactly like her and for some fuck shit reason they’re still alive even though it’s been hundreds of years since Celestia’s birth.
Tldr; alicorns usually don’t have children Luna and Celestia were not born as alicorn, so flurry heart is the first birthed alicorn, that’s why she’s different.
I like to imagine he was cursed or something to never realize that he's lived so long while also being cursed to live as long as an alicorn. I know it's stupid, but everybody has headcanons on canon things and I have my own :3
Isn't it just that they was born before equestria???
THEY WERE NOT BORN UNICORNS. Even MLP GEN5 Had to Be Like LOOK THEY WERE BORN ALICORNS THEY CAME FROM A DIFFERENT KINGDOM. Where did you even get that lie from?
Cadence wasn't always a Alicorn She was Turned into One By Celestia just Like How Twilight was Turned into One. I would understand if this was Like a Fan made Version complete with Re worked Versions Or A Fanfic. But passing it on Like it's Canon is where I draw the Line. And they Are Sisters. Jesus christ on a Fucking Bike.
@@shamiyahzow8525 They were not born alicorns, they were unicorns mentored under starswirl (if you’ve been paying attention to the lore you would know that) there was not a different kingdom. They are not sisters, they were mentored together, Celestia has an actual family (shown in the episode where rarity is trying to impress her nephew,) and they all look like her, so why would Luna look different? They were not from a different kingdom, you heard that from a fan theory, and now you think it’s fact, even though he doesn’t even know that they were mentored under starswirl(a unicorn)? I literally said that flurryheart was the only pure alicorn and you think I said cadence was born an Alicorn? Is there a hollow space between your ears? I also trust nothing that comes from GEN5 because it’s in a completely different timeline and the whole concept seems forced.
@@savannacromwell3978 They are still sisters Though. Even Just cause Luna Looks Different don't mean they aren't Related. Luna Probably got Her genes from someone else in the Family. Applejack and Applebloom are Sisters and they have a Completely different Coat color and mane Color from Eachother. They even Refer to them as Sisters Throughout the Entire series. The Castle of the Sisters.
So this comment section was so polarizing I had to look things up, because I have been out of the fandom so long I feel like it needed fresh eyes. It is NOT canon that AJ and Rarity are a couple. Katrina Hadley, a director, said, and I quote, "We thought their conflict felt a little like a lovers quarrel rather than a friend fight as written. So we played it that way, but rode the line so the viewer could interpret it as either a relationship. But internally, yeah, we were Rarijack shipping." What that officially makes it is *semi*-canon. As in, it was stated to be something that they thought of, but never made official. They literally said it was up to interpretation on purpose. So everyone please stop coming at him for 'lesbian erasure.'
Also, love your work and this art is gorgeous. You earned a new watcher. Many applauds, good sir.
i think they’re saying lesbian erasure because appledash is 100% canon and confirmed by the creators, not because of rarijack.
In the hasbro mlp game applejack’s description says, regarding her future, “a loyal relationship seems likely”, and rainbow dash’s says “an honest future”, as well as the fact they live together in the epilogue. It’s canon at that point.
I will say that if they headcanon applejack as transMASC, it isn’t lesbian erasure. But if they headcanon applejack as a trans MAN, then it absolutely is.
sure, both of these ships are said by the director that they’re “for interpretation” but we all know for a fact that’s because of outrage from bronies and homophobic parents. Rarijack was only shipped behind the scenes but appledash is MEANT to be perceived as canon regardless of if they say it’s up for interpretation, because the voice actress of both characters made a post as if it were canon, and post-epilogue material seems to confirm it.
@marsb0t I'm looking through whatever I can find, and the only thing I can find is once again the show creators saying it's "up to interpretation" if AppleDash is canon. This is by Jim Miller, the director of the series. The only crew member quoted as saying it's "100% canon" is Ashleigh Ball, the voice actress for both AJ and RD. And as much as I love and respect VAs, as characters can't be brought to life without them, the active word of a director, in my opinion, will trump a VA in canon.
If Ball had said it, and no one else in the crew said something otherwise, I would 100% agree with you. However, I believe in an hierarchy of canon confirmation. The more directly involved you are with the writing of the show itself, the more 'canon' it is. The *only* people who have absolute authority are the writers, and above them, the creator. However, a director's job is literally to make sure the show is going in the intended direction. Which means that they're only a bit below them. A VA can give canon facts, yes, but if someone with more authority in the production of the show overrides it, it becomes the level of fanon speculation.
I will absolutely say here, I have no problem with fanon. I'm a fanfic author, I literally run on fanon. However, I also respect the difference between fanon and canon. Because even if you don't like a person who made the canon or the canon itself, it's still canon. There's nothing wrong with fanon, but that also means acknowledging that this creator's fanon of AJ being a trans man isn't lesbian erasure because there is NO CANON to AJ being a lesbian. And believe me, I looked extensively.
@@beastgirlsara I’m not saying ashleigh is concrete proof, but rather supporting evidence. What I consider concrete is the post-epilogue content continuing to reiterate appledash as being a romantic relationship. I think it’s sloppy, and I don’t care for the ship that much, but it’s clear that although the director says it’s up for interpretation, the intention was for them to seem like they’re in a relationship.
@marsb0t I can understand that. I think we just have a different view on what we view as being enough 'evidence' to say something definitively. Which, of course, there's nothing wrong with. Yours is equally valid, and just a tiny bit looser than mine.
The point I'm trying to make, though, is that I feel like people are being extremely unfair to the artist, as they're acting as though what he's done is a solid sin against the fandom. Which, if AJ was canonically and clearly stated, either by the creators and crew or by the content itself, to be in a completely and undeniably lesbian relationship, I would agree that it's at least a not-cool move. However, without that evidence, I just see it as one part of the fandom (even if it's a large part) and their fanon vs. his. And, with how things stand, in my opinion, it leans in favor of him being equally valid in his interpretation.
People, of course, don't have to agree with me. I haven't said anything other than the facts and evidence that have been put out there by the creators and crew. And when asked, because you do make a valid point that we have different interpretations of what makes something canon, I explained what my definition of it is. Again, it's valid for someone to have a different definition of it. It doesn't automatically make me or anyone else right or wrong. All I'm really trying to do is make people really think about why they're getting so upset at a small creator (not a sleight on him, that is simply based on engagement of his video) giving his own interpretation of a character.
I like the redesigns! My favourites are Applejack and Rarity-- the apple seed and thread and needle concepts are really good!
Nightmare rarity is so nostalgic to me
Fluttershy doing drags is such a good idea lol 🤣
in love with your narration
First of all, your art is edible. I love your style so much!! All the characters are really cute and I love listening to you ramble about your head canons.
Second of all, genuine question- first of all, applejack isn’t canonically lesbian so it’s not even erasure anyway, but if she was, would it still be? I’m not educated on anything that has to do with wlw bc I’m a bi trans dude so correct me if I’m wrong, but wouldn’t lesbian erasure be making a canonically lesbian applejack a straight girl? Here’s the definition of lesbian erasure I found: “Lesbian erasure is the tendency to ignore, delete, falsify, or restate evidence of lesbian women and relationships in history, academia, the news media, and other primary sources. Lesbian erasure also refers to instances in which lesbian issues, activities and identities are marginalized or ignored within the LGBT community.”
Would making Applejack a trans guy be lesbian erasure if she was canonically lesbian? It’d be lesbian erasure if Wren was actively stating that Applejack wasn’t lesbian (again, only if it was canon) but that’s not what he’s doing anyway. It’s just a headcanon.
Thank you random person on the internet 1435, you're absolutely correct!
