Just had the equivalent of a mental breakdown... I could really use some encouraging words. Anyone have any?

Here's another one that's creepy in a... different way.
Just some background information to why I'm posting these... I'm on an Anime America binge watch. Because why not.
Check her channel out if you like anime, though. (Not sponsored)

@Stormfurry Oh, I see. You post WTF content all the time in your status updates... I can see why the bleach would be running low.

@Stormfurry No, this one's worse I'd say.
I mean, if both really happened to a person... *shudders*

Planning to watch the new EG special in the weekly chomps given by the Digital Series.
No spoilers, but I'm just curious, how would you rank the special out of 10? (For those who've seen it).

@Tacodidra Always better to be an optimist than a pessimist! (Probably a faulty generalization, but you get my point)

In case some of you didn't notice, I posted a status update a while back basically saying RD was no longer my "best pony".
Well, guess what?
That was to lead up to this, a anticlimactic April fools joke. (Translation: RD is still best pone.)
To make up for it, I will finally do my AJ character review. And, no, this is not a prank.
Applejack: An Underrated Gem or a Celebrated Hero?
Even with me not being a early dedicated FiM fan, I caught on early on that AJ wasn't exactly known as "best pony", and that title was usually given to RD, Flutters, or party horse.
Even so, the way I see it now, AJ's rep has sharply increased.
No longer is she the butt joke background pony, but a hero who has won the fan's hearts.
Don't believe me?
Let's take a few popular bronies/pegasisters in the FiM community: Applegeek, Lily Peet, SilverQuill, Equestron, Sweetie Bloom, etc. Regardless of what you think of these fans, they're all fairly popular, and they all appreciate Applejack.
But... what do I think of Applejack?
In my opinion, the only two ponies that could probably pull off all five Elements (not including Magic) would be Pinkie Pie and Applejack. Both of them show a wide range of abilities, emotional and physical. I strongly believe that with their archetypes they could pull off those five Elements.
I'm not going to get sidetracked with theories, though. My point is, Applejack can be a lot of things.
She can be funny, bringing out the best of her family and others. (i.e. Sisterhooves Social, where it is directly stated of how good a sister she is to Apple Bloom). She can be loyal. (i.e. The Cutie Mark Chronicles, where she leaves Manehatten to go back to her family. Also, direct quote: Why of all the... This is your sister Applejack, remember? The loyalest of friends and the most dependable of ponies? - Applebuck Season). You see where this is going.
In the beginning, there was a lot of "meh" about Applejack. Now? I don't think so, and I can clearly see why.
Applejack is stubborn, competitive, overprotective, blunt, nurturing, hard working... all traits we didn't see a lot of in the early seasons.
In Seasons 1-3, I'd say, we only saw glimpses of these traits. Sure, they'd be one of the focuses of an AJ - centric episode, but we never really saw them develop in the background, which is much of what made Pinkie Pinkie, Rarity Rarity, Twilight Twilight, and so on. What did AJ do (mainly) in seasons 1 to 3? Apples. And... understandably, that didn't really make her a fave of the fans.
All that changed as MLP progressed, though. (Yes, I prefer modern MLP to early MLP. Fiighht me!) AJ got background development, and suddenly she got a popularity boost. Now, I'm not going to sit here and say AJ's currently as popular as RD or Flutters or even Pinkie Pie ever were, but it is remarkable to see such an admittedly boring character transform into my 2nd fave.
In conclusion? Applejack really is best background pony.

@Tacodidra And just to compare your rankings for those, how would you rank RoF and FF?

I'm SOO SOO SOO SOO SOO excited for S9 now! If you've missed it, there's a new S9 trailer that Discovery Family's Twitter posted. If you don't want spoilers, shield your eyes!
SpoilerSombra's back BABY!! Now, this kind of ruins the whole "comics being canon" thing that I believed, but I'll squeeze in a head canon to make it work.
I'm just SO excited! I'm the kind of person who always jumps on the hype train and grabs as many spoilers as possible, IDKW but I guess I was just made like that. I truly wish I had the energy to dissect this frame by frame, but sadly I do not. Let's just hope S9 is as good as the staff is making it out to be!
SpoilerHere's the trailer for anyone curious:
-
@WWolf Or they'll just pull a "Season 7 teaser" on us and have
SpoilerSombra not actually be Sombra and just be an allusion created by Chrissy or something.
I mean, she made copies of the Mane 6, why not Sombra? And they'd have to know each other, both being threatning villains and all.
Yeah, maybe they'll address that...?

Sooooooo.... I've got some interesting news to say the least.
Ever since the announcement that FiM's Season 9 will be the last, I've begun to rewatch the episodes from Season 1. While I was watching, I picked up on some tidbits I didn't notice before or just forgot about. Through those tidbits, I'm pretty sure I developed a new "best pony".
Or two, really.
As I did with the "guess my new favorite show" status update, I've proposed a guessing game to see who can guess my new two "best ponies" before I edit my profile. You can look back at my "character reviews" status updates for clues about what I think about the characters, but since I haven't done a status update for Pinkie, AJ, Starlight, or Flutters yet I'll also give my previous rankings of the Mane 7. (I'm including Starlight because she's practically in the gang.)
1.) Rainbow Dash.
2.) Rarity.
3.) Pinkie Pie.
4.) Applejack.
5.) Twilight Sparkle.
6.) Starlight Glimmer.
7.) Fluttershy.
Guess away and enjoy your weekend!

@TheAnimationFanatic Yeah, always nice to go back on FiM, as you can't really remember every last detail of all 195 episodes.

(SPOILERS FOR MAGICAL MYSTERY CURE)Twilight is best Princess- A Character Study
From the very start of the show, Twilight has always stood out to me. It's not because she's the main focus of the show, or even her mental and psychical development. Twilight stood out to me because she was a nerd. Now, this really mattered to me, not only because I could easily identify with her, but also because I barely ever see a nerd being the main character of a show, unless the show's main goal was to educate or all of the character were supposed to have the nerd archetype. Usually, I saw the "nerd" character as a supporting lead, so seeing Twilight be a book nerd and a strong leader really stood out to me.
Now, let's move on to what I really want to address in this character study, why Twilight is best Princess. Now don't get me wrong, I love all the Princesses to an extent, but Twilight is the best one in my eyes, and here are three reasons why.
1.) A big chunk of Twilight's character is her friends. Celly and Luna support each other, sure. Cadance and Shining Armor appear together a lot, also true. But Twilight's reason of becoming an alicorn was because she needed to help her friends, and through that devotion and care for her five besties, it makes every triumph Twilight succeeds in even more well earned. It is an understatement to say Twilight would be nowhere without her friends. Equestria would be nowhere without Twilight and her friends. (As seen in the season 5 finale).
2.) Twilight's care can get the best of her. Now let's move on to one of Twilight's greatest strength and flaw, her care for her friends. On the one side, Twilight's care just shows how much she'll do for her friends, and to what lengths she'll go. On the other, Twilight's need to protect her friends allows her to be subject to one of the flaws of Applejack, she doesn't accept help. This trait was very evident in Twilight for a while, until is was finally addressed directly in the Season 8 finale. Even though this is a flaw, it just goes to show how much she loves her friends.
3.) Twilight's extremely relatable. This reason kind of mixes two reasons to love Twilight: her adorableness and relatability. First off, Twilight is adorable. From her wide range of expressions that could easily match Pinkie Pie to how she cracks under pressure, Twilight's reactions to certain events are just a joy to watch. Secondly, Twilight is just so relatable to me. Her geek outs are hilarious to watch and just fill her with so much character. She easily avoids your typical Mary Sue protagonist.
And that's my character study on Twilight! Next will be Apple Horse!

@Lucky Bolt Well, not really now that I look at it, but somewhat.
