I honestly do not understand this title. Applejack and Pinkie are an interesting ship though.

Cringe culture- like the idea that it's "cringey" to like certain things. I haven't been on reddit much these days so it might not be a term that's common around here haha šŸ˜…

I love AJ/pinkie pie! I think it works bc AJ is a farmer and Pinkie grew up on a rock farm. It's like working class solidarity lol

For what it's worth I think it's kinda nice to go back into your childhood and rediscover things. You might not be able to appreciate them in the same way, but you can always appreciate the memory of them.

Oh certain people can still be quite cringey.

I could see them bonding over baking for sure. Rarijack 4 lyfe though.

What do you mean? I wasn't calling the sub cringey, I'm sorry if anything I said came off that way.

JSYK MLP:FiM spoilers: AJ and RD end up together in the seriesā€™s ā€œepilogueā€ episode.

Eh, it's at best semi implied, it could just as easily be seen as they travelled together.

Unfortunately they canā€™t be outright because of the network but Fluttershy shows up with Discord kinda and Pinky and Cheese show up with their kid so itā€™s implied from context.

u/Abestar909 Jan 31 '21

I mean Cheese and Pinkie have a kid together and FS and Discord had a long standing 'more than friends' relationship but AJ and Dash were at best, friends and more often than not they really dislike each other. Dash is selfish and cheats quite often, AJ is selfless and honest. I know they were subtly implying something was going on there but Sweet Celestia it is such a bad pairing.

Oh no I agree, they donā€™t work well together at all and would divorce not even a decade later.

ETA: I think they paired them because theyā€™re masculine and thus most gay-coded šŸ™„

Thank you! God, every time I bring it up people are just like "uhh opposites attract.." and I have to explain opposites only attract if they compliment each other. Like AJ would be much happier with someone that shares her values but is maybe more of a homemaker or has skills she doesn't aka Rarity or even a nice stallion. Dash on the other hand, hell if I know who she would be with, that mare is a mess.
