How can I know the answer to this question without a Facebook style poll (complete with grammatical and spelling errors) to help me understand my true Pony nature? Which pony would rather hang out with friends? Go shoping? stay home? go on a hike? Or would they rather eat stake? cookies? popcorn? or choclate?

The OP is letting me down.

Wouldn’t Applejack enjoy the hike even more, though?

Why wouldn’t people want to get Applejack as a result? She made me like the Southern accent.

Maggie, did you know about MLP before the “Anyone else baffled by the my little pony thread?” thread? I like the idea that a thread meant to express bafflement over the MLP herd increased the MLP herd.

As for me, I’m Twilight Sparkle with a minor Fluttershy side that’s been getting better, which is par for the course on this board.  
How about you?

Nothing’s wrong with her. She’s just…kind of boring. There’s nothing especially cute or funny or quirky about her.

Check out [this previous thread on the subject.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=628563)

(In a nutshell: last year, Hasbro handed their new “My Little Pony” cartoon to a showrunner with ambition and creativity to spare, and she turned it into a legitimately great show for kids and adults, females and males alike. Its popularity has exploded since then, especially on the internet, since all of the episodes are available for free on Youtube.)

I dunno, I thought she got a decent amount of development between “Applebuck Season,” “Fall Weather Friends,” and “Look Before You Sleep.” And there ain’t nuthin’ more quirkily cute/ cutely quirky than Applejack’s liar face in the Discord episodes. 😃

I’d have expected Ms. Sparkle to run away with this, but I’m a bit surprised she’s just a nose ahead of Fluttershy.

I guess I’m mostly like Twilight Sparkle, with a healthy dose of Fluttershy on the side.
