I have phobias, fortunately it would not be with animals with the exception being, watching an animal get eaten, get injured or vomit. I turn away whenever I see predators eat other animals on wildlife documentaries. I cannot say I would hate to be with either of them in their fictional world, however I would fear potential arguments with Rainbow Dash from time to time, then again I am not perfect either, if I received a scolding by her about anything, I'd probably deserve it anyhow, it is possible to do something foolish without necessarily meaning to hurt others, and I'm not as clever as I'd like to be, perhaps that's something I do have in common with her. Applejack is honest, and sometimes that can lead to her having arguments with others as well, as she has done so with Fluttershy on occasion. She is okay to be a friend of however her no nonsense attitude will lead to disagreements and she makes no secret about it, if she thinks you're doing something wrong, she tells you how she feels. Whether that would lead to me having arguments with her if I was there in that fictional world with them, I don't know, but if she had an issue with what I said or did, she would probably have a good reason. Twilight Sparkle is okay, however I don't read a lot of books, so that is not a typical situation I'd be involved in with her, she has other activities too though, sometimes visits to different parts of Ponyville or even beyond that region. Fluttershy would be easy to get along with however spending too long around anypony would feel like violating their personal space, I have daydreamed about wearing flower crowns with her at a meadow as a symbol of friendship but I would not force that on her or anyone. I'm content with doing simple joys on my own if need be. Actually, I may even be too nervous to approach such a gentle and kind soul like that. Pinkie Pie is social however there are times where I'd want to be on my own same as anyone else, if she got up in my face all the time, yeah that may bother me a little. At the same time though, I'd be patient with her because I know she means well. Rarity is hilarious sometimes, I could definitely see fun adventures with her happening just as she did with Pinkie Pie. I'm not allergic to cats, so Rarity's cat would not bother me at all. Friendship with Rarity would mean a lot of helpful things, like learning how to speak more formal and polite because that is important both for starting friendships and respect for other cultures. I daydream about being reincarnated in that fictional world as a Pegasi, like @Night Sky does on this forum, yeah we had a discussion about that, good talks. What an awesome experience it would be to make new friends in an extra-terrestrial environment filled with cute and intelligent talking Ponies and other sentient life forms there. This is one of the few instances where I could see a friendship going well with a main character list if I were in that fictional world with them, even in some alternate timeline where their behaviour was very similar if not completely the same, as long as their core values of friendship are not compromised, it's okay.

Another way they could have addressed the insufficient story time for the characters is more episodes, but the show would have ended up carrying on for longer, perhaps longer than some people were comfortable with and the show had to end some time. Considering they spent so much time world building it did make sense more characters would be added over time, so I don't feel like the argument against more background characters holds up, it would get very boring if we had nothing but stories of Mane Six over and over, something needed to change to address that monotony, but perhaps the execution of that was not very good. I would say I liked the introduction of Mean Six though, seeing them get under Queen Chrysalis skin was hilarious as you can see she was losing her patience with Mean Twilight Sparkle. So season 8 of the show had its good moments in my opinion.
