Notes:

I have several layers of thoughts. Like an onion. After all the mane 6 shipping over the years, I think it’s kinda surreal and giddily electrifying for any of the mane 6 to actually be implied together in canon. I think it’s cool that it’s only hinted at, and the pony crew seem pretty adamant about things being open to interpretation, so that way, any alternative ships fans may have had for them aren’t completely sunk (same for Fluttershy, although I guess not for Ponk rip my headcanons about that, I guess Cheese is good too). On another layer, it feels sorta outta left field? I was never really picking up a romantic vibe from them (heh, although I’m sure life-long Appledashers would disagree). And then on another layer: gay rights. Peeling off another layer, Applejack has living parents again, and you know they would shower their new daughter with just as much love as they give Rainbow Dash. And that’s a happy thought for me.

Ultimately, at the… the core(?) of the onion, I just kinda feel like this about it.

Like, “Hey. Nice.”
