Very good episode, family should have natural communication skills as their ancestors have created a dynasty or heritage for them to BUILD ON rather than rest upon, this episode is very organic, people forget that Applejack's family own 200 acres and Rarity is just a pretty girl good at cosmetics in a small house. Her family dynamic is broken and you can tell not only by the relationship she had with Sweetie Belle, but how she interacts with her parents. It's good for them to experience something together that requires each others trust and cooperation so that it becomes habitual and something that they can look to to remember how good of a team they are when they actually communicate together. Having to trick Sweetie was her own fault, but the fact that she went through that much trouble to prove her loyalty is the tell all for everything.

Very special picture, i love Applejack and her traditional lifestyle we never really get to see the dynamic hands on between Applejack and Winona, but i would have loved to see an episode about how they met and why and how she became a staple of the family, like her being a puppy at the time their parents first had Applejack and a cool flash back of her parents choosing a dog for their family, like Ladybird in King of The Hill. would have liked to see her parents or another family member talking to her like they talk to Spike in Rugrats about watching over the kids and protecting them for them while they were away and then having them never return. (Although Winonas age is never specified.) Ive wanted to have my own pup for awhile, they put me on Section 8 and Social Security and all the places i live at make sure that i know im not supposed to have a pet like a dog. I love dogs, and I have one at my moms house, I grew up owning dogs and Ive seen a few of them pass away and it has been harder on me than anything emotionally, I really am not a people person AT ALL, and I GREATLY PREFER the company of my dogs. I love the Tanks for the Memories episode and i had a few Turtles growing up but we lost them letting them be outside >.< I really feel like the Tanks For The Memories episode would have been better being "about a dog" but since it was about Rainbow Dash I guess it still kind of was "in a way." I think the episode where Spike pet sits the critters would have been cooler if it was one about their dynamics together without the ponies being involved. Anyhow Love this picture, started making me think of my dogs, RIP Hope, Heidi, Haley, & Phoebe. I also had a bunny growing up to named Hannah I was never "in 4-H" but i really was into being a pet owner at one point in time when i was younger. I am a big time animal lover, currently a Guinea Pig dad, and i am hoping to have some pets in the future, MOSTLY just a dog. Nothing can take the place of a good dog, like nothing can replace a TRUE FRIEND, or REAL FAMILY.

No. Being interested in the same art or literature doesn't make you compatible.

Cadence & Twilight, Twilight needs empathetic insight & emotional/subjective context & perspective quite often, when she gets these in bold strokes from Cadence it feels very organic, wholesome & sincere. Cadence simplifies a passionate and emotional perspective like Applejack does with conventional wisdom and common sense. Cadence is very down to Earth and sensitive and this isn't a dynamic twilight is used to. You can tell Twilight genuinely looks up to Cadence and understands that she is a highly intelligent mare with a subjective and emotional mind set with areas of wisdom she has no experience with and has not yet explored.
