Taking the current topic as an excuse to ask you to tell me all the reasons you love Rarijack. Your art for the ship is so sweet and intimate I'd love to hear any in depth thoughts you have.
Breathes in.
I think what makes their dynamic really strong is that they have opposing personalities but aligned values. It's deeper than just "opposites attract." Rarity's fancy, prissy, and femme while Applejack's modest, rough, and "masculine." But both value hard work (to the point of being workaholics), their families (both have guardianship over their little sisters), running successful businesses, and eventually each other. Their relationship can be boiled down to, "Despite our differences/disagreements, I still like you because we value the same things."
We see their relationship develop so much. In the first season, they can't stop bickering about surface-level differences. By season four, they still bicker, but will mend their relationship because they can't help but do nice things for each other. In Trade Ya, they start off arguing over personality differences (Applejack likes old junk and Rarity likes useless crap). Then they pivot and start arguing that they value their relationship more than the other. In the end, they mend things by sacrificing their needs and buying each other a gift. Even if they don't understand it, they know it'd make the other happy. And that's all that really matters. It's a genuinely sweet moment that shows how arguing can be healthy and necessary for relationships to strengthen.
We even see them dropping their hang-ups about each others' personalities. In Made in Manehattan, when Rarity runs off in dramatics about someone's fashion, AJ doesn't roll her eyes or scoff, she smiles. Oftentimes, their conflicts are very common domestic conflicts romantic couples face. Applejack's Day Off is about a woman's inability to balance work and life and find time to properly spend with her partner, causing her partner to feel neglected.
By season seven, they're actively participating in each others' interests. Any problems or conflicts that arise are dealt with, and they come out the other end stronger and closer. In Honest Apple, AJ pretty much spells out why their relationship works so well: even though she doesn't understand fashion, she can recognize and appreciate how much work it takes and wants to respect that. When she realizes her mistake in the episode, AJ goes above and beyond to fix things and apologize to Rarity. They care about each other so much.
The two go out of their way, sacrificing their personal desires and beliefs and doing things they normally wouldn't, to make the other happy. That's just love.
Tumblr media
There's Simple Ways, where AJ gets stuck in an unwanted love triangle between Rarity and her hipster crush. And her frustration and anger can be so easily interpreted as AJ finding herself in a terrible position; the girl she loves wants another man, and that man wants her.
I dunno. I've always had a preference for opposites attract ships, but Rarijack's stuck with me like a brain worm because they have the perfect chemistry. The way they show they care, or do things for each other, I've always read it as the truest representation of romance in the show.

I’d be a hypocrite if I was a “you’re only allowed to like canon ships” person, that’s not what I’m doing at all but I’m just really surprised at the lack of appledash in the current mlp fandom??? Like why are there NO fics/theories about how they got together or their wedding?? It used to be a really popular ship but now that it’s canon I never see it???

I don’t want to say that I’m starting to ship Rarity x Applejack x Rainbow Dash together as a OTP in MLP and it’s becoming my endgame ship for that series, but….

i'm pretty sure i've made a post about this before but it's once again on my mind. i feel so much worse disliking f/f ships between my f/os and someone else than i do disliking m/f ships because i feel like my reasons for disliking them are less valid. like i can say "i dislike x m/f ship because i see this character as a lesbian" and everyone is fine with that but saying "i dislike this ship because i ship one of the characters with myself" will get people looking twice at you because even if the average person is okay with selfshippers they're still kind of expected to be okay with sharing and all canon x canon ships or they're being weird and possessive and getting Too Into It. and it's even worse when you like Some canon x canon ships but not others because you don't really have a logical reason behind the ones you like and the ones you don't (though i tend to dislike the most popular ships with my f/os purely because they're the most popular ones and fans can get really bitchy about how Inarguably Canon they are/leave ship content untagged and tag non ship content with the ship name) and i can't help feeling like a Bad Lesbian for not liking x or y ships when i literally just. have a different lesbian ship for them. lol. also it didn't help that one time a really long time ago i sent in a half joking ask about how i didn't ship‏‏‎ ‎chelldos‏‏‎ ‎because‏‏‎ ‎i was in love with‏‏‎ ‎glados‏‏‎ ‎to a‏‏‎ ‎portal‏‏‎ ‎blog‏‏‎ ‎and they responded with something incredibly mean so that kind of shattered the last of my self confidence in that regard

i saw people doubting appledash as canon. jesus christ that made me so angry. heterosexuals get to see themselves represented in fucking baby onesies, in inanimate objects arbitrarily assigned gender, in everything, but when two gay characters show up and say to the camera “we are legally married and in love” we get think pieces about what that means. go to hell
