FASHION APPLES FASHION APPLES ASHION FAPPLES Might be a light week. Recently finished moving, and I'm heading out of state for a few days for a research conference.

[@Moonimii]

Blank Slate u were first xD

[@lazuligamez3513]

I can't wait until you see "A Royal Problem" CELESTIA IS AN ACTUAL CHARACTER, NOT A MARY SUE! YES!

[@SuperRavensfan101]

Blank Slate comment posted 9 hours ago? Blank Slate communist confirmed

[@ayatomisubi5156]

Blank Slate the Rocky rarity Will be a brony meme i can feal it

[@manemanera]

I'm sure someone has already asked you this but what did you go to college for Blank?

[@kingsilvert1st]

The Rarity guitar scene is just hilarious.

[@hariman7727]

I don't need to watch the rest of the episode. That little scene and the reaction it caused is enough!

[@SpacialRend7]

6:59 Photo Finish's eyes are officially revealed.

[@godofevil9468]

Yep just like Vinyls was

[@VerySaltySalt]

SpacialRend7 photo = purple and vinyl=reddish pink

[@emptycatbrain7562]

OH GOD GOD No

[@emptycatbrain7562]

SHE LOOKS SO SEROIUS

[@MrError-bg4yb]

SpacialRend7 whoa

[@adrianaisme4710]

Rarity is so magical that she made an acoustic guitar make the sound of an electric guitar! Now *that's* impressive!

[@Shritistrang]

This commentary was, like, soooo amazing, I LITERALLY can't even... Translation: This was great.

[@blueblaze7312]

12:03 "Am I on drugs? Have the drugs kicked in yet?" Uh, no. Drugs will kick in next episode.

[@wattsink2009]

11:43 I don’t know what to think of that face Pinkie made when she said, “music is very relaxing.” I wouldn’t be surprised if someone edited in Rarity responding to her with, “Ms. Pinkie Pie, you’re trying to seduce me.”

[@SciRei7H3dEG3NeR4T3]

11:45 I cannot wait for RarityDash's reaction to this specific part. XD

[@SuperRavensfan101]

SciRei Fireshock true ;)

[@djpon-1296]

SciRei Fireshock Yup 😂

[@booklover4330]

Oh I know, it's going to be glorious to watch him react to it. XD.

[@naukkarais]

im pretty sure he is just gonna laugh really hard or then say oh waau

[@Xcycobob56X]

I can't wait to see how DWK portrays it.

[@captaincoldy1192]

we all see how rarity play the guitar. She is metal queen. HT.more

[@kairu4299]

This confirms that Rarity should be the guitarist instead of Rainbow Dash.

[@incitossol]

16:35 Burn this house. Burn this house. Die Die Die. The only bad thing about the 2 episodes a week via Canada: having to wait a extra week for Blank's reaction to Royal Problems.

[@blankslate6364]

Hopefully the internet doesn't experience a catastrophic malfunction before Saturday

[@incitossol]

Blank Slate Don't tempt fate.

[@Kelaiah01]

You remember the episode where Rarity opens her boutique in Canterlot, and how there was one goth unicorn who loved the dress inspired by Princess Luna ("This dress speaks to my soul.")? Now imagine that unicorn with Inky Rose and Maud, and you get a grown up goth version of the CMC. ;) XD Also, do you remember in "Rock Solid Friendship" how Maud said she can shred on guitar like nopony else? Add a goth Rarity to that group, and they can start a band. LOL!

[@wattsink2009]

16:00 Blank Check’s reaction here is PRICELESS!

[@IronPiedmont]

15:51 Strawberry Sunrise? More like Strawberry SAVAGE!

[@kevinbarber2795]

"Will Applejack have trouble being honest about what she thinks of fashion?" Oh, you silly, silly red horse. :)

[@blankslate6364]

Hey, she was honest about what she thought of fashion, and that caused her trouble. _I'm counting it_

[@kevinbarber2795]

Blank Slate Oook. ;) /wink/

[@SpacialRend7]

Inky Rose...that's very close to Ink Rose if you know what I mean.

[@SuperRavensfan101]

SpacialRend7 first black gryphon with gabby and now this Makes you wonder if the show writers actually pay attention to the internet community

[@Narrator007]

It is also very close to fan VA Pinkie Rose

[@ashkirby8896]

WAIT, THERE'S A CHARACTER IN THIS EPISODE NAMED INY ROSE WHOSE NAME IS SIMILAR TO INK ROSE?

[@wattsink2009]

SpacialRend7 it’s also pretty close to Pinkie Rose.

[@wattsink2009]

SuperRavensfan101 They do.

[@Dan-qy6zv]

"cause its still black" *ducks down with Blank Slate*

[@dorianmatthews7251]

Applejack: IM GOING TO BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN!!!! WITH THE APPLES!!!!!

[@PetkasProduction]

Portal 2?

[@wattsink2009]

06:04 I can never get enough of Photo Finish! She’s like a pony version of Edna Mode!

[@RpGfreak901]

8:41 No, you're thinking of Starscream.

[@carismaemil21amino42]

Guitar Hero in Rarity xD

[@ShayTheValiant]

Alright, time for season 7 episode 9 "Honest Apple". To be honest, I'm looking forward to your reaction to this. Let's get started. And... play. 0:19 No, Blank. It's clearly a Spike episode. I don't know how you didn't realize that. 0:24 Well, yeah. The last episode introduced a new canon ship. I would expect everyone to be talking about that one. 0:36 The title is a reference to "Honest Abe". 0:41 That is a terrible title name. 0:51 Our home and native land. 0:54 Fashion is a way to start Showing what's in your heart Call it superficial I call it irrefutable. 0:58 More like "sunken ships". RariSpike has been dead since season 6. 1:03 You have Ember and Thorax, Spike. Get over Rarity already! It's never going to happen! 1:14 You "found" a guitar, Pinkie? People don't just leave those things lying around. 1:18 Pinkie Pie is Best Guitarist. 1:29 I shouldn't be surprised by Pinkie at this point. 1:39 Rarity: "That's why I always come out on top, darling". 1:45 Get over it, man! 1:52 Hoity Toity and Photo Finish return! Already a good start! 1:57 The magics! We go! 2:03 I wish! 2:06 Yeah, they mentioned her name twice this season so far. She has to show up sometime. 2:12 A wild background pony appeared! 2:19 Did Spike technically do a spit take, but with paper? 2:21 The horror, the horror! 2:39 Oh no, it's the complete opposite. Applejack will be too honest this episode. 3:04 This episode is edited by Joanna Lewis and Kristine Songco. They can't go wrong with this. 3:25 It makes a lot of sense, Pinkie, unlike you. 3:42 Nice reference back to season 4. 3:56 Do you have a minute to talk about our lord and saviour Applejack? 4:12 When Pinkie Pie is booing at your pun, you know you did something wrong. 4:23 Yes, Blank. She needs to sleep with it. 4:27 Unicorns too OP. Hasbro, please nerf. 4:31 Spike is more of a paper weight, really. 4:46 Your bow is kind of upside-down. 4:53 You're "very" special, Apple Bloom. 5:22 Aw, little sis wants to be like big sis!

[@m22locust42]

Jake Berango very nice, once again

[@ShayTheValiant]

Philippine Officer Thanks! Btw, I'm also Filipino :)

[@m22locust42]

Jake Berango oh, wow

[@theamazingbidoof5277]

Jake Berango Wow thats the LONGEST comment i have EVER SEEN U get a like for all that hard work

[@doctorsno906]

JESUS CHRIST SO MANY TIME STAMPS

[@CountMonsparkle]

I've never actually looked at it that way, but you're right, the best episodes in this season so far were all focused on side characters and not the Mane 6. Kinda sad that they've become too perfect for their own good by now. Also, judging by the ending, you've already seen the next episode, and I'm really looking forward to reactions to that one ^^

[@Ontario321]

I think I have to agree with you. It seems like they have been avoiding the Mane 6, and basically trying to bring newer characters. Normally that's how they "restart" a show. Also, hi, friend-

[@CountMonsparkle]

Hey! You've got a new thumbnail ^^

[@Ontario321]

Count Monsparkle Indeed I do xD

[@eddgouldtomtorddabest7311]

👍

[@MidnightLunaRose]

26:02 Blank, you have absolutely no idea how right you actually are,

[@haylox669]

Like, I can't wait for your reaction on episode 10. It's totally tubular. Right? Stay fabulous red pony!

[@JAAMThePony]

8:58 My Theory is than is a clone with the DNA of Ink Rose + Maud Pie

[@robertreiss4658]

OOOOOhhhhhh I like this idea

[@Stillseeurshad0ws]

this was actually a good episode. I love how the plot was carried out through the episode, it was enjoyable and likable.

[@ChiropteraNightfall]

Strawberry Sunrise is the best part of this episode for me.

[@sweetheartmashupsbabe]

Her design is so cute too, if only she could make a comeback

[@Sonicring123Dubs]

Strawberry Sunrise is best background pony now. Her sick SAVAGE burning has won me over.

[@OverTheMoon891]

lmao I like how they delivered that moral. "If she knew how hard we worked to make our apples perfect maybe she wouldn't be so mean- .... oh." xD

[@TheKyrix82]

It's not surprising that you might think you missed the plot...it WAS covered up by those dresses

[@TeacupTempest]

That comment made me laugh far more than it probably should have

[@TheKyrix82]

I tend to have that effect on others

[@mattdobz]

The moral seems more like to have an understanding of the other side rather than be politically correct

[@autumbreeze1129]

mattdobz then maybe Trump should watch this episode

[@konnerphillips4349]

that end rarity saying "when your right your right" oh my gosh its like a 'bottle top bill and his best friend corky' reference

[@RynaGemstone]

Why'd we hire Applejack as a fashion judge again? Uh...we need conflict. Oooooooooh...

[@KaitoGillscale]

16:33 I'm ABSOLUTELY ready for AJ to literally murder strawberry mare. Fan fics...begin!

[@R3inatunes]

Now that's a fanfic that I can get behind

[@rcshaggy]

I love the Starwberry pony and I love strawberries too...

[@SuperRavensfan101]

This episode was one of the weaker ones of the season IMO there were Some funny bits, I love how Tabitha does Photo Finish and raritys guitar solo wasn't bad so I give it 6/10 even though the plot was really basic it wasn't a bad episode necessarily.

[@godofevil9468]

Agreed

[@eliasnicolasmiranda4940]

SuperRavensfan10 it was a good episode the weak one is fluttershy leans in

[@robertreiss4658]

I don't think this season has had a bad episode yet, but they have had a few weak episodes. Just boring plots with predictable outcomes. Not BAD just easily forgettable. I seriously forgot most of this episode the moment it was finished.

[@godofevil9468]

If I'm being honest with myself like truly honest I despise this episode mostly for one very specific reason that is seriously extremely irritatingly aggravating

[@SuperRavensfan101]

Elias Nicolas Miranda yea it's just my opinion after all but I do agree with you about epsiode 5

[@uma-fan1559]

I like dark pony ink rose

[@11doctor1103]

11:48 Rarity and Maud should form a band now. They'll be called "The Rolling Stones"

[@Narrator007]

0:50 "Oh Canada..." We stand on guard for thine early releases!

[@godofevil9468]

BLANK MY OLD FRIEND!!! Anyway so basically you and I had the exact same outlook on this episode the Goth and Valley girl characters were entertaining but I also thought that futuristic one was… unique and the strawberries vs Apples thing was also jaw dropping and the guitar solo was the most prominent thing about "Honest Apple" so yeah pretty straight forward pretty tame but I do have to say THANK YOU FOR THAT LAST THING YOU SAID I CANT WWIT FOR YOUR REACTION TO A ROYAL PROBLEM I LOVE THAT EPISODE SSSSSSSOOOOOOO MUCH TOO 3 of the entire series fir myself anyway until then TTFN - G.O.E

[@blankslate6364]

:D

[@applejoy4411]

I consider Honest Apple to be one of the better episodes of the season and is my favorite episode so far, as for episode 10 it was okay manly cause it was over hyped.

[@godofevil9468]

Apple Joy that's fine we all have our own opinion and we are all unique as long as we don't force our opinions on others like strawberry sunrise and AppleJack in fact I like hearing others opinions I LOVE DIVERSITY!!!!!

[@abbywindy]

oh god, i cannot wait to see your reaction to the next episodes :D no spoily spoily

[@coulourz151]

"LIKE THAT MEANS SO MUCH TOO ME LIKE I LITTARLY CANT AHUAGAHAYATRAGGHA" that's the lace gurl for ya

[@Enter_the_Toshiverse_1996]

No Blank Slate, you haven't smoked anything cause that would imply that I would've smoke it too

[@ryokiuzumasa8068]

Denise Sierra But I would happily take whatever Blank Check took to see Rarity being a legend on guitar

[@imanishraf6215]

16:36 if rarity weren't there, the house already burn down.

[@Konsker]

intresting eyes for hoity and photo

[@Sperium3000]

13:10 And this is the "Screw you, Apple Jack" moment.

[@SophieSengmany]

26:02 You might actually be right... Seriously, I can't wait to see your and RarityDash's reaction to the next episode. It was fun.

[@bluedust9512]

"My closet is nothing but 20 versions of this hat! {3:40} XD I LOVE IT SOOO FUNNY!!!!

[@atkearly1]

I like how Apple Bloom and/or Big Mac never mentioned what happened in the previous episode.

[@Narrator007]

3:40 Applejack: "My closet's nothing but 20 versions of this hat." Wait, I thought it was a hats and bows closet. What happened to the bows? Did AB get kicked out and have to find her own place to store stuff?

[@matthewperez8670]

Apple Bloom is an ugly little piece of shit.

[@manemanera]

You literally had the exact same reaction I had to the Guitar! Only I laughed

[@jennygee2911]

Rarity likes rock and metal, that's already confirmed!!

[@dawnramos4723]

" I LITERALLY CAN'T EVEN! "

[@dumpstercub2902]

Honestly that yellow unicorn fashion designer looked so much like Fluttershy that I wouldn't be surprised if Rainbow and Fluttershy both had Valley-girl alter ego they use to do crap they wouldn't normally do.

[@Ezra_Nyx]

That stallion modelling Inky Rose's line is just gorgeous!! >w

[@lorenzo7095]

Honestly, I couldn't agree with applejack more. Fashion is ridiculous! Fight me!

[@shalifi7774]

I forgot that. Applejack all like... your coming with me. Once way or another

[@DLAlucard]

I do love how it was a goth Pegasus.That just amuses me given how most are portrayed as rather energetic and lively or having a rather light and airy attitude for the most part. Also I'm glad you agree with me. I've been saying since the 100th episode that the series needs more stories like that to make stronger secondary characters and here we are getting them. What a shame a minor few are calling 'fan service' instead of seeing the good pinning down characters is doing and can lead to.

[@mariomguy]

Next week guys, we get the most amazing episode ever!

[@applejoy4411]

This is my favorite episode of the season so far.

[@JacobNGames]

photo finish eyes confirmed how did i not notice this before? i watched this episode like 4 times...

[@twiggyjali]

"I came here to literally make fashion, and honestly I feel so attacked right now"

[@1withthelion]

Rarity records guitar mane-ia (mania)! I can't believe there's a actually a record label called Rarity Records, also Through the fire and the flames she carries on

[@SleepyPeppermint]

bc XD I like it how even you said ''WHAT'' and the ponies too

[@autumbreeze1129]

18:54 serves those stallions right after what they pulled back during Fluttershy Leans In

[@miner0326]

When you said '[whatever] blood' I thought 'More like strawberry Jam' HHHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

[@autumbreeze1129]

0:12 bird watching? yes. let's go with that

[@Dokdiamant]

Raritys Guitarre Solo... This one had only 2 Strings, If it had all four, she had made a whole Open Air concert. xD And Pinkie proved anew, that her Hair hides an interdimensional Storage Room full of... Stuff. xD

[@imanishraf6215]

17:23 Photo Finish: It's the only way to travel.

[@whateveraj4496]

this makes me happy

[@miner0326]

"The pictures were upside down" And didn't really hear what you were saying BUT THATS SOMETHING IN THE EPISODE XDDD

[@ShadowBlitz-mc7bp]

i love the new moving ocean background but i thought it distracted from the episode a bit

[@KaitoGillscale]

14:30 She is? Applejack is destroying Rarity's career and, by extention, destroying Rarity? YES...GO APPLEJACK...DO IT!

[@kmmk5022]

BlankState react to Pmv collab good time Pmv no matter what were friends Pmv this is our miracle All the Japanese openings for Mlp The Italian opening for Mlp Button mash sings just the way you are Button mash and sweetie belle sings counting stars Button mash and sweetie Belle sings shape of you Beep beep by snapi 107 facts about my little pony Pony sauce nrg Mlp it's muffin time

[@bjstarshine175bj7]

[@SM853]

Severely underrated episode

[@Ellie-no7nm]

wow apple jack has my EXACT opinions on all of them dresses and hats xD mainly the ripped jeans i agree with her on the most

[@11doctor1103]

16:05 TACTICAL NUKE INCOMING!!!!!!

[@slcrosby15]

yes it really happened Rarity really went rock and roll crazy

[@rachellee8593]

Blank check: that was magic Me: so is friendship

[@Edward256]

Yeah, a bit over the top with Rarity on the guitar, but my thought is that that was all her anger and frustration right there...

[@lucariog7549]

First time i see photo finish without her glasses Tbh, i got more "hype" from this than vinyl without hers

[@NelsonDemifur]

11:47 Yes. That actually happened

[@F2PAlius]

this whole episode... is basically MLP: The Triggering

[@Sperium3000]

20:31 Alright, what's this guy's talent? Climbing walls?

[@ascendnow3563]

This is the first time I've heard him actually swear...

[@jxj5924]

I loved the SoCal pony, so fun to laugh at.

[@devin1166]

holy shit photofinsh just showed her face and eyes and there glorious.

[@lostpony4885]

[@twiggyjali]

WHERE THE HELL IS MY CHIFFON -Equestria Project Runway

[@jaynayoung108]

You Should React To Steven Universe. 💖.

[@SpacialRend7]

So, Applejack and Rarity managed to freak Pinkie's frizz. Two down and three to go.

[@CYPRESS585]

applejack: "so when your gonna do her main? me: ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@jack1231309]

Now we're just waiting for Tridashie to remix that XD
