i never thought they were dead in the first place

@MKogwheel  
I agree, the implication of this is unkind to the purpose of AJ’s parents in the MLP universe.  
Oh well, keep doing what you do.

@ApplejacK47  
No it’s not.

@ApplejacK47  
This is only the edge of the rabbit hole.

@ApplejacK47  
Ohoho, that’s rich.

@ApplejacK47  
Oh, you sweet summer child…

This is probably the most fucked up pic in this website. So terrifying

@Background Pony #B366  
Hey, that’s what I said.

@Background Pony #B366  
And now I’m crying.  
Way to open an old wound.

Hm, this reminds me of the ending for David the Gnome.

We know that Equestria has many dangerous and scary places such as the Everfree Forest and Flame Geyser Swamp.
 
My theory is that Bright Mac and Pear Butter were doing their pie delivery together to some far-away place until they suddenly found themselves trapped in a cursed forest…doomed to wander forever but never finding a way out.
 
I got this idea from Season Four’s “Somepony to Watch Over Me” and the American folk ghost story “The Phantom Lovers of Dismal Swamp.”

@CyanLightning  
Imagine all the trees with that flower from that episode turning back into ponies who had been trapped since before the founding of Equestria and trying to return to a world they hardly recognize.

Now I wonder if you still can cure somepony that have been turned into a tree by swamp fever.

They’re already growing a little apple and pear from their tree bits. Cute. And even scarier.

Honestly, dude, honestly f**k you.

To be fair, this is actually rather beautiful and sad, aka a bitter sweet moment

I KNEW IT.  
I - F U C K I N G - KNEW IT.

Cruel, but beautiful.

This is what I think happened to them but they did not become the Apple and Pear trees. I believe they are separate trees.

@Deserter  
…Is this what “old ponish” is?

@Silent Wing  
’s just a fun “What-if”, dawg.

@Background Pony #FEA4  
They fused with the trees they planted.

@Silent Wing  
It’s called someone having a theory and sharing it. Leave your vendetta out of it.
