(One of the last I followed was one of the Applejack ones, actually, because it actually stayed fairly close to character . . . for a while. Then even that one got weird, pretty much ever since Dr. Whooves got involved. :p ) So you'll forgive me if I don't get a lot of weight to their views on the characters from the show.  Ah, well.  All I know is, if given the opportunity, I'd be glad to be friends with any of them."}
