Wait... so the male, the minority gender has to be the one to give everything up & be the victim? JUST like the matriarchy to- *Slap!* No! No, I ain't becoming a Manninist!
Well, can't see how that's exclusive. Pearbottom has already cut ties with everypony he knew, so without loyalty to a family he only just now knows, he's got nothing to loose. The... Mother figure could just as easily feel guilty for putting him through that & feel scorn for the pressures that must have unravelled... Eh, haven't seen the episode, I can't get emotionally invested enough to spew headcannons one way or another. Seems kind of dark & depressing either way...
Man, was loving the name Pear Butter though. We need mo' Butter ponies.

NO. REREAD MY COMMENT. DELIBERATELY AND COMPLETELY AMBIGOUS FOR SAKE OF SPOILERS.
SpoilerFEMALE GIVES UP EVERYTHING. PEAR IS GIRLPONE. ASSUMPTIONS ARE BAD.

It's actually a really sweet and well-done episode. In my humble opinion, it's the highest-quality and most beautifully emotionally charged episode I've seen thus far in the show. Absolutely no depressing-death-darkness whatsoever. Do endeavour to watch it before you get spoilersniped.

Only if you brohoof every last one of my amazingly well-written and insightful posts.
Oh, Widds, just noticed you were saying the headcanons were dark and depressing, not the episode. It's kinda darker if Granny utterly isolates and cuts off her grandchildren from communication with their parents as opposed to the parents just good old-fashioned dying.
Plus, it begs the question: if AJ's parents left the farm for good, why have their kids lived on the farm all their life? It seems a safe bet that the parents would've taken their kids with them wherever they went, especially if Granny was trying to ostracise them for their decision to leave.

Well, was thinking there's the possibility that they felt the kids were too young to adapt to a changing environment, like say, they were both going into being Wonderbolts, so maybe the kids would be better off being raised down on the farm under Granny, or maybe she felt she could do right this time by the kids & keep them there & loyal.
But then again, there's drastic steps of maturity between each of the three kids. While one could say that abandoning, say, a four year old might not mean too much that Mac could forget them when he gets older (hey, I can barely remember my own childhood) and AJ would be a toddler... that would make Appledoom almost a newborn infant... and even more screwed up.
Both options are kind of obscure, there's little reason to expect death, but I feel abandonment is a bit easier to swallow.
...when... when you're... not... not the kid involved that is...
