Apple Bloom is older than Apple Fritter?

[Osiria 142]

 

So I just noticed something in Apple Family Reunion. 

 

This is the previous Apple Family Reunion photo (took approximately 100 moons ago)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Who was the foal?!!!!Her colour, her mane, obviously she was Apple Fritter.

First I thought she could be just a random background pony somehow shared the exact design with Apple Fritter, and Apple Fritter wasn't there for some reason.

 

But then I took a look at the new family photo

 

 

 

 

 

There's no filly looks like that foal!!

 

The most logical conclusion : Apple Bloom is older than Apple Fritter!

 

Mind blown!!!!!!!      

 

I was like

 

 

Unless everybody knows it and I'm just outdated...

Wow.

What if Apple Fritter had her growth spurt before AB? It's really the only explanation, besides something like time travel.

[Silver Letter 1,832]

Apple Fritter has a mare's body. Apple Bloom has a filly's body. So AB is younger. Theory dismissed.

 

As for the baby in the first picture, who knows what that is.

Edit: After thinking for a bit, I remembered that Apple Fritter appeared in the first episode of the show. In that episode, the apple family reunion took place. That was when the old picture was taken (I think?). The only thing I can think of is that Apple Fritter has magical baby transforming powers. Seriously though, I am very confused. :3

I just think that it's an oversight by the animators. It really isn't all that special.

 

Your theory is interesting, however. Even if I don't agree with it all that much.

[VitalSpark 1,830]

I think it's just another baby that looks similar to Apple Fritter. Green manes seem to be a common trait in the Apple family.

Hardly conclusive. Although I'm sure the whole family is invited to every reunion, there are probably often times when a few individuals are busy and cannot make it. That filly may have just been unable to attend the reunion in the second picture. (Or perhaps she was there, but was sleepy and having a nap at the time the photo was taken?)

 

Also, everything @@PonyLaces said.

 

Don't you go calling my background waifu underaged!

You just noticed when you posted that in my thread of CMC growing up?  . Anyway, like Odyssey stated, it must be an oversight, it's impossible for Fritter to be younger (specially THAT younger) than AB when she always shows up as a grown mare.

It's like saying I'm taller than you so I must be older than you.

I don't think that was an official reunion. At least it wasn't the time when the old picture was taken because there were much more ponies than the picture showed.

A.F has bi color mane, so if animators just want a baby I doubt they would use her design.

 

And "underaged" lol, we aren't even sure how old are mane six, it's possible mane six are under 18 too.

Hard to imagine it's an oversight, why would they bother to design a foal version of Apple Fritter? I mean younger A.J looks almost no different, if A.F was close to A.J's age, they did't have to design another version of A.F.

 

I agree it's not special, you younger relatives can be taller or looking older than you. But if it's true, it indicates that ponies have some kind of puberty as well and CMC haven't reached it yet(assuming that's the reason Apple Fritter outgrown Apple Bloom ).

My reason being that it's an oversight is this. Do the animators care about the designs of a pony who's only sole purpose is to be in the background? Probably not. Because of that, they might've designed a foal Apple Fritter just to fill in more space. It's not like she's a side character.

 

I do know that I have younger relatives who are taller than the older ones, but for the longest time, Apple Fritter has the body of a mare, and mares obviously are older than fillies like Apple Bloom. If the animators did care about this, then they might've given Apple Fritter the body of a filly Fluttershy instead.

 

But of course, this is what I think. You don't need to agree with me.

I guess they putting a baby on family photo was to make Apple Family look more lively, and/or to show the relationship between the baby and her parents .

 

If I draw the animation for MLP (based on my experience in anime), I wouldn't bother to create a new design just for a photo. That being said, design a pony should be easier than design a character in anime, and they probably work harder than me lol.

Eeyup .

 

It wouldn't be THAT younger. if the old family photo was taken 10 years ago (last family reunion was 100 moons ago + only 3 family photos showed in Granny Smith's album, so it's possible even it seems too long. And I believe they have some casual reunions too),  A.B was probably about 2 years old, that makes her only 1 year older than A.F.

 

Technically a pony older than 1 year old is no longer a foal, so it makes sense they used a filly version of A.B when she was 2 years old...

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

What if they planned an episode in season 5 focusing on Apple Bloom and Apple Fritter?

 

like:

 

A.B envies A.F outgrows her, so she decides to make a potion that helps pony grow faster...

 

or,

 

A.F tells A.B a story about how she went through that "puberty" thingy and then A.B realizes she has to be patient...

 

Moral of the story: well, you probably can see it...

 

They're just examples, sure they can write a good story for this.

Lots of steroids, which also explains Big Mac's size too.

[Osiria 142]

Honestly I think it would be a little odd if Apple Bloom was really older than Apple Fritter, but I feel nothing wrong about it.

 

What upsets me more is to think Writers/animators treat Apple Fritter so lightly like she's just something to fill space with and any random background pony can use her exact design...

 

So I choose to believe that it is true.

There should be more episodes focussing on Apple Fritter, the seventh element of harmony. The element of loveliness.

I'm guessing it was just a random colour design for the Apple family reunion shot i doubt it was actually apple fritter. Unless you want it to be of course then comes the swarm of fan fic about how the cmc are eternally young like ash ketchum

[Draxon 214]

The first photo shows the first Apple Bloom.  The second photo shows Apple Bloom, Jr.  But nobody's told her that her name has a suffix.  Or what happened to the first Apple Bloom.

[ShadowPirateX 600]

That filly is a placeholder. Moving on!
