Tom Snyder 4,112 May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 I don't think i need to point out how much these two are at odds with one another, always seeming to be competitive with each other. During the race episode, they're pretty much rivals; gaining the jump on the other. I can't really see these two living together in harmony that well. Considering how much spirit both have; i would say they're even. But other than that, they're good friends; gaining trust through their life lessons. I love how RD's umm... what's that word? Ego? conflicts with Applejacks honesty and stubborn nature. 5 //// My persona and OC: Candy Star //// Ask me anything: Ask Candy Star //// My Music //// //// My DA: (OC requests available) //// Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashen Pathfinder 16,162 May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 While I don't have a problem with people shipping these two; it's these reasons why I'm not a big fan of the AppleDash ship. I just can't see these two living together all that well; as you say. But yeah; they're better as good friends. They have a friendly rivalry and it works best in that regard. 5 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moved to Elsewhere 11,331 May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 I prefer them as competitive buds over shipping. They don't look like they'd have much romantic connection in a relationship as say, Rarijack. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicked Funky 2,955 May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 I like their interactions in the way that they're so competetive, I don't ship them at all. Sometimes they do work pretty well togheter, Like when they trolled Rarity in Season 3 epsidoe 1 Rarijack ftw though 3 Just your avrage scrub Irelia, Poppy and Shen main.

Positively Pinkie 109 May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 Rarijack ftw though Rarijack is such a cliche romantic ideal with just a little show teasing that I'd love to headcanon it sometimes. Appledash got the whole friendly rivalry, though and Rainbow dash can bring out the worst in AppleJack for sure. Really, AppleJack, you're almost as bad as Rainbow Dash. I would love to see a Pinkie and Rarity episode someday. they both have such chemistry when they share the sidelines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gearbox10mm 794 May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 Personally, I'd like for all of the mane 6 romantic shipping to end. I know it won't, but still... Looking back at the season 5 opener, when the mane 6 were led to meet the leader of the town. Rainbow says to Applejack "Prepare to fight, we don't know what will come through that door.". She wasn't just saying this to everyone, she specifically said it to AJ. I thought that was a nice interaction between the two. Rainbow was being her usual feisty self and she knew that, in a scrape, AJ was the one of the mane 6 she could count on the most to have her back. At least that's what I took from it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammo 986 May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 Applejack has a contentious friendship with both Rainbow and Rarity. AJ doesn't like Rainbow flaunting her skills. Applejack is talented but also extremely humble. She doesn't have patience for braggarts. Rarity and her are at odds due to radically different interests, comfort zones. Friendship is magic is great because of it's realistic character dynamic. Like all real friends, of course there will be disagreements and conflicts of ideals / interests, but friends look past these to find common ground. Every group of friends I've known having guys with clashing ideologies / mindsets but they don't exactly hate eachother, just gravitate and resonate more with other members of the circle. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolyWack 482 May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 I feel like their friendship is more of a friendly rivalry. Kind of like Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog. Think about it, if your friends you do everything together, however a rival might go against you, but this isn't always a bad thing, as people (or ponies) don't always make the most well thought out decisions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolyWack 482 May 14, 2015 Share May 14, 2015 never said it was an enemy type rivalry. Oh, i guess i misunderstood you when you said "I cant see them living together in Harmony", because in my opinion this makes it easier because when one persons idea isnt working, the others opposite idea might.

As the saying goes: Opposites attract! I meant as a couple as how people tend to ship them and make them out to be perfect for one another. It doesn't work like that. Say you just walked up to someone and they became your husband right away, then that would destroy the whole special somepony deal.

The Awesome One 1,315 May 15, 2015 Share May 15, 2015 (edited) They have a friendly rivalry with each other which sometimes gets out of hand but it does get out of hand sometimes but it's all good fun. I would never ship them together though, my brain just can not accept that being together. Friends? Yep. Something more? Noperino. EDIT: off-topic but yes, RD and Fluttershy would make a really cute couple. Edited May 15, 2015 by The Awesome One Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin_Case001 4,908 May 15, 2015 Share May 15, 2015 I'm glad these two have grown past the foolish rivalry. They're still competitive, but while remaining good friends at the same time. They acted a bit too foolish in Fall Weather Friends for my taste. They seemed pretty damn angry at each other. I prefered how they were in Castle-mane-ia: competing and trying to 1-up each other, but never angry, and always friends. I'll admit I do like this ship, though, but I prefer TwiDash. It seems more believable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider float 2,539 May 16, 2015 Share May 16, 2015 The rivalry has died down these days. But I bet Maud Pie would put both of them in their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatonRyu 1,033 May 16, 2015 Share May 16, 2015 I think that despite their differences they could live together just fine, but I've been known to look at things through very powerful shipping goggles. In this case though, I think that AJ's down to earth nature could temper Dash's ego and help her to grow as a person, while Dash's competitive nature could help AJ bring out even more of her potential through their friendly rivalry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Snyder 4,112 May 16, 2015 Author Share May 16, 2015 (edited) It just depends on how well things work out for them, i just find it hard to believe they could; knowing how wild Dash is, she will have a hard time taming her. Though many times people get the wrong idea of how each character acts.

thepinkapocalypse 72 May 27, 2015 Share May 27, 2015 Appledash just screams angry make outs and then eventually breaking it off but there's more to a relationship then angry make outs and competing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Cedar 1,408 May 27, 2015 Share May 27, 2015 If anything, I think it's their competitiveness that makes them such good friends. They see each other as rivals, to a degree, but still in friendly competition. Fortunately, they're both good enough sports to realize that winning against each other isn't everything, and where they don't compete, they cheer for each other. 3 Roleplaying OC: Red Cedar - Cast Character: Applejack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'gann M'orzz 745 November 3, 2015 Share November 3, 2015 Beware, tonight is the night of M'gann being really bored and stalking old threads and then necroing them! The thing with Rainbow and Applejack is that over the seasons their interactions have become so infrequent that it's hard to even say WHAT their dynamic is anymore. In a friendship context this means I want to see them together more to see if it has changed. in a romantic context this is why I consider it a much weaker ship than something like Rarijack where we see the dynamic all the time and how it's changed and grown since S1 or even something like TwiDash where despite not much interaction for the first 3 seasons, the later 2 give them quite a bit and a solid dynamic.
