![]() The popularity of the meme has begun to diminish as of seasons three, in which Applejack received more starring (as well as co-starring) roles than the majority of the cast. For example, the season two episode The Last Roundup is better known as the first episode in which Derpy Hooves officially spoke and the subsequent controversy her depiction generated. Although primarily found in humanized/anthropomorphized works, several pieces of pony fan art have depicted her this way as well.ĭue to Applejack having fewer episodes than other members of the mane six during season two, some fans started a running gag to label her as a background pony. Several sub-versions of humanized/anthropomorphized Applejack exist as well:Ī fan term for humanized/anthropomorphized Applejack fan works that depict her as exceptionally voluptuous or have an otherwise sexual theme to them.Ī fan-given term for art that depicts Applejack as having a pronounced pear body type with wide and very muscular hips and thighs as a result of her "applebucking" harvesting method. Like Rarity, Applejack in humanized and anthropomorphized fanart is usually depicted as being taller than the other mane 6 although her build varies from slim and lank to athletic and toned. Sample Applebucking thighs fanart by artist sundown Applejack memes and alternate personalities Humanized/anthropomorphized Two shooting stars seen flying over her house in the episode Apple Family Reunion are, according to Sibsy, supposed to symbolize her parents. This has led some fans to speculate that they have passed on. Non romantic relationshipsĪpplejack's parents have never been shown in the show. These seem to be the less popular of Applejack shippings.īeyond that, Applejack is sometimes written as being incestuous in explicit fiction, usually with Big Macintosh, being seen as a "Southerner hick" by some. ![]() The names of these shippings are "TwiJack", "Apple Pie" and "AppleShy", respectively. Īpplejack is also occasionally shipped with Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie or Fluttershy. Another, somewhat less common, ship involving Applejack is Applejack and Caramel, or CaramelJack. The latter may also represent a variation on the common theme of a country "boy" and the city girl getting together despite their differences. These ideas originate in the show, where both an athletic rivalry between Applejack and Rainbow Dash has been demonstrated, as well as a clear difference in personality in the way Applejack and Rarity approach physical exertion and getting dirty. In My Little Pony: Guardian Mares, she is the Guardian Mare form of Emma Sue LunaĪpplejack is most commonly shipped with Rainbow Dash and Rarity, ships typically referred to as "AppleDash" and "RariJack", respectively. One of the running gags on the video series Friendship is Witchcraft is Applejack's Southern jargon, and the creators usually introduce several new "catchphrases" for Applejack in every episode. Her country accent and mannerisms are targets for memes and fan fictions. Fan labor depictions tend largely to stick to that characterization. In the show, Applejack is shown to be loyal to her friends, friendly, brave and strong. 3 Applejack memes and alternate personalities. ![]()

![]() ![]() If I needed to adjust the watch’s position while on my wrist, it would often dig into or scratch my wrist. Because of the crown’s position, size and sharp edges, I found it to be extremely uncomfortable. However, I cannot say the same about it while it is on the wrist. When it comes to grip and using the crown, it is perfect. Nodus has included a large, tapered crown on the Sector Pilot. I don’t wear a lot of pilot watches, but I do know that one of their calling cards is a large crown, allowing the wearer to use the crown while wearing gloves. When it comes to Seiko NH movements, anything under 13mm isn’t all that thick so Nodus has done a great job thinning out the case. However, because the lugs feature a steep curve, the Sector Pilot hugs the wrist and remains comfortable. I found the wrist to crystal measurement to be 12mm, so the watch doesn’t sink into the wrist all that much. The Sector Pilot wears true to its case height of 12.75mm. If the case were flat, the relatively long lug-to-lug might look awkward but the lugs angle down as soon as they leave the case, making the lug-to-lug look and feel shorter than it is. The Sector case has long, faceted lugs that give the 38mm-wide case a 47mm lug-to-lug. It is hard to say, but the best part is that even though it feels different, it still carries the comfort the Sector case offers. Perhaps the modern pilot watch dial layout is what makes the watch feel different. ![]() However, because of the stainless steel bezel and dial layout, the Pilot feels like an entirely different watch. I reviewed the Sector Dive last year ( review here) and as I mentioned above, the Pilot shares the same case as the Dive. While the Nodus Sector Pilot follows the Dive and Field by sharing the same case, the Pilot’s dial is the most different of the group. Today we will be looking at the Sector Pilot. Nodus is expanding on the Sector series with new versions of the Dive and Field but is going a step further and introducing 2 new variants – Pilot and Sport. As their names suggest, they each had a different look and purpose but shared the same case. Nodus launched the Sector series originally with the Dive and Field. The Sector series aims to be an affordable alternative to their catalogue of purpose-built dive and tool watches. The Nodus Sector has become a fan favorite in the veteran microbrand’s lineup. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 18, 1927, in Lewiston, Maine, a son of Florence Skelton Edgerly and Albion Stuart Edgerly.

It Rained details the results of a natural catastrophe, and the effect it had on a town and its inhabitants. ![]() Reach Out Your Hand shares the unfortunate fate of a wayward son who leaves his parents in a fit of fury, only to beg for their help later on. Uncommon Man, for example, offers homage to an individual who gives up his dreams in order to give priority to his family first and foremost. Taken in tandem, the stories shared in these songs come across as both affectionate and affecting. Mitchel himself had a hand in writing eleven of the thirteen songs, with two covers - bluegrass classics Love of the Mountains and Summer Wages - finding a fit with the original offerings. The players - Mitchell (lead vocals and fiddles), Jason Moore (bass), Joey Mosley (guitar), Jake Mosley (mandolin), Tray Wellington (banjo), Jesse Smathers (tenor vocals), Jesse Brock (baritone vocals), and Greg Blake (guest vocals) - put equal emphasis on the melodies as well as the messaging. The songs veer from rousing to reflective, with an outstanding group of contributing musicians ensuring that an emphatic impression is made throughout. Mitchell is an astute observer who draws from his own memories and the experiences others have shared as well. It’s all relayed respectively and, at times, reverently as well. In so doing, it shares both the commitment and complications those relationships often entail. Both touching and tender, resilient and resolute, it’s a concept album and song cycle of sorts, one which details the intrinsic bond between, well, fathers and sons.

I'm not even sure I'm making criticism of the game so much as I'm making an acknowledgement of what I find missing from the God of War experience writ large. That's not the game, though, and that's fine. ![]() Could there be other tales to tell that don't include a man destined to kill every single god and creature he encounters? I suspect there could be. Maybe it's time to put our savage, rage-filled hero on the shelf for a while and explore other ways that this violent Greek mythology could be expanded. Really, nothing in Ascension is enough to make this feel like a franchise that needed to be revisited, at least with Kratos as the protagonist. I do think the new elemental powers for the Blades of Chaos are nice additions, but they're not enough to keep the game fresh. In the same way I didn't much care for the new Dante in DmC, I'm just not that into spending time with Kratos, even if I do enjoy the God of War universe. I just want to create my own character at this point, and choose my own weapons. Maybe it's Kratos or maybe it's the redundancy of it all or maybe it's a little bit of both. The action-adventure game is near and dear to my heart, but I feel too limited in Ascension even with the new elemental powers available to Kratos. I would trade every last bit of cinematic camera work in this game for a player-controlled perspective in a heartbeat. We're constantly shifting angles to watch as Kratos slides down icy slopes or leaps across a gorge or as you fight your way up the back of a snake and the camera just keeps pulling further and further out until really you can't even see where your character is anymore. Second, the fixed perspective makes the game more cinematic. If the camera points you right, go left and you'll find the treasure and be on your merry way. This means that once you learn the trick (one suspects, many games ago) you just always go the way the camera isn't indicating and you'll find a chest or two. It seems like the entire use of fixed-perspective is intended to do two things:įirst, to hide secret chests out of view. Now shut up and get ready for the next QTE. Why can't I- oh stop asking these silly questions. ![]() ![]() Why can't I go search over here? Because this invisible wall is blocking me. Why can't I run this way down the ramp? Because the perspective ends. In God of War, the fixed perspective is used to artificially render some areas out of bounds. In Ascension, I'm reminded of how little I like fixed-perspective games. Likewise, it's a shame that the level design itself doesn't match the level aesthetic. It's just a shame that it all invariably ends with a QTE. Riding giant snakes through the mountains to turn the wheel of some mythic apparatus or facing off against a huge, scarab-infected statue-god.this is great, imaginative stuff. Whatever is gaudy and over the top and cringe-worthy about Kratos and the ultra-violence he meets out is wonderful and breathtaking when it comes to the actual vistas you encounter. The best part about Ascension is sort of the same thing as the best part about God of War 3-epic set-pieces that push the boundaries of the PlayStation 3 and make our jaws drop. Some of the mini-bosses are really tough, and the backdrops where all these fights take place are stunning and massive and ludicrous (in a good way.) That being said, there are still some very satisfying fights in Ascension. It's like Sony Santa Monica relishes changing the rules on you mid-fight, and it's irritating to no end because games are about fixed rules, about taking a system and learning and perfecting it.Īctually, I think QTEs are all about changing the rules of the game in ways that are intrinsically opposed to the nature of gaming, and very rarely succeed at improving gameplay at all. Either way, there's too many QTEs.Īt times you latch onto a big monster and have to prepare yourself for that button flashing on the top/bottom/left/right of the screen and at other times you're just expected to slash away at the beast. I was hoping for less of this in Ascension, but it's still everywhere. It's one of those love-hate things, where every time combat starts to get interesting I'm forced to press O, now mash X, now hit triangle just at the right moment and Kratos will do some super cinematic kill move that's all gratuitous violence and no actual game. The game can be hard and satisfying at times, but fights are so often punctuated by Quick Time Events (QTEs) that I want to quit out of principle. Combat in the series has also only ever half-impressed me and once again Ascension succeeds and fails in equal measure. ![]() ![]() While some apps “gamify” health, Fabulous is like becoming part of the most delightful Pixar movie.īuilt by behavioral scientists, Fabulous takes a holistic approach to health, covering both physical and mental health.
