Was watching some old MLP FiM eps while drawing these and you really get the impression that Granny Smith was the one in charge of most things on the farm, which I like..... :) Epic. Figure her husband/wubby (headcanon) Apple Core really takes a backseat in that area despite (headcanon) being the actual head and heir of the farm. Likeeee he's her ironclad support, but she's definitely the brains behind the operation until Applejack eventually takes over. Incorporating these ideas with how she's knowledgable and has all the particulars of caring for the Apple farm ingrained in her memory, kinda a vat of information. She's like a recipe book of sorts for apples, and tie that in with her pie Cutie Mark lol boom.

AND THENNNNNNN

Doodled Big Mac with some buttercups in his mane, a classic.

And some Apple Blooms which,,, heh,,,,, I've been sitting on this idea of either Apple Bloom becoming The Great Seedling, or dating him (thereby making a next gen lololol), I'M VERY TORN ON IT, but I was dabbling in the idea of her becoming one in some of these drawings,,,,,, Idea being she ALMOST captures The Great Seedling (kept up the pursuit up into adulthood),,,, I think her becoming one would be more FUN in that, it's less to ask of someone looking at my art and it's not an OC lol. And also I get embarrassed about next gen ideas sometimes when I make them too sad or cringe hahaha.

Roughly in my head I envision like, the Apple farm goes through a really rough stretch of time where their crops are dying for one reason or another, and Apple Bloom resorts to drastic measures in trying to capture The Great Seedling again to help revive the farm. She ends up succeeding in that she manages to snap off a shard of one of its giant antlers (somehow) before it escapes. So she ends up experimenting with the shard, possibly at Zecora's but maybe secretly..... it has some magical growth powers she's trying to harness,,,, and accidentally magic rebounds on herself. There's seemingly no consequences other than disappointment when the antler shard stops working,,,, but eventually Apple Bloom notices that little sprouts and flowers start growing where she walks,,,, and overtime she starts developing antlers of her own and shiz. :3c
