In earth pony democratic tradition, when a minority group of council leaders, in opposition to the will of the majority, wish to stop or slow down a vote on a proposition they are opposed to (but believe will have the votes to pass), they may engage in a Filly Buster, in which opposition members of the council will continue talking once given their chance to make their statement in opposition.

I know it probably wasn’t on anyone’s high priority to see more of list, but I am working on Being Chaos because the story started talking to me again. The next chapter is not directly based on any of the episodes; still following the canon timeline but we’re finding out what Celestia wanted Discord for, and Eric is learning more about Discord’s powers.

In «Blueblood, This Is Your Life!» I changed language about Cadance being related to Sombra to being related to Amore, since later on I decided to accept the Umbrum backstory for Sombra.

Damn thing is long enough that I may actually be out of the 52 Project and able to work on it by the time I finish. 🙂

It’s my first priority once I can write fanfic again. At this point, I’ve taken enough hiatus weeks that the project’s completion has pushed out to the first week of May rather than right before April.

I fell way behind in the last part of 2020. Missed my deadline on Nov. 27, so story 35 came out week 36. Story 36 came out week 37. Story 37 didn’t come out until shortly after Christmas, and then I declared an official hiatus where I wasn’t going to come back until Jan. 15.

38 came out today. We should be in week 42, I’ve officially lost 4 weeks.

The house looks like a barn, but it’s a house. None of the maps I’ve found or screenshots show an actual separate building in a place that’s reasonable to find a barn, but. they’re a farm. They’ve gotta have a barn. And I feel like I’ve seen the inside of it, maybe in a CMC episode?

This is important to know because I have a certain asshole goose friend who needs to know where the barn is.

They’ve definitely had barns. Said barns have been eaten by parasprites, dive bombed by Rainbow Dash, mobbed by Pinkie clones, wrecked by runaway hayrides.

Suffice to say, the goose will be in good (bad?) company.

They had a barn but it was racist.

Raise this barn! Not — ah, skip it.

grumble grumble homophones grumble

This was a relevant question for me when I was writing To Keep the Fire Burning as well, since several chapters were set in and around Sweet Apple Acres, so I did some research of my own. I don’t think I turned up any definitive answer, but for writing purposes, what I eventually concluded was that the Apple house is both a house and a barn. The upper floors are obviously inhabited, containing bedrooms and such. That part protruding from the side is the kitchen, I think. A small part of the rest of the bottom floor may also be used for living purposes. But much like a house with a garage attached, at least some portion of the bottom floor is used like an actual barn, and that’ll be the part that the barn doors on the front lead into.

It’s pretty weird, but it worked for me.

From what I remember, a large part of the lower level appears to be a traditional barn with the Apple Family living quarters being upstairs and as add-ons.

There are in fact FOUR buildings they show in the seasons.

1)The apple home
2)Main barn, sits to the left of the home and back, as you look at it from the road approaching.
3)Smaller older barn, destroyed by Rainbow Dash in Zero Lesson, and then rebuilt.
4)Back storage barn, always shown in the background somewhere near the zap apple area.

In general, most farms have three barns. One for Hay storage, one for Farm animals and one for general equipment storage. Plus a few smaller building and the homestead.

Like everyone else has said they have three.

My husband wants me to write the story of the racist barn at Sweet Apple Acres. Maybe someday. 🙂

There definitely is a barn — the inside of it is visible in a few episodes.

The Apples are working in it during the setup and conclusion to «Where the Apple Lies», for example, and it’s where Pinkie’s birthday party is held in «Party of One».

The issue is that it doesn’t seem to have any features distinguishing it from the main house from the outside — as far as I can tell it only seems to exist when an episode needs a scene set inside it.

5192963
They had four of them, actually.

I’d love to see what you do with that one. In the meantime perhaps he’d be content with this: Racist Barn.

5192965
Technically, «raze this barn» would be a homophone. «Racist barn» is a mondegreen.

Yes and no.
Generally speaking, the Sweet Apple Acre local quantum barn field has a strongly fluctuating occupation number; it does have a non-zero expectation value, but there is also a non-zero probability of measuring exactly zero barns at Sweet Apple Acres at a given time.
However, excluding the possibility of Bose condensation, there will be no more than 24.5 barns at Sweet Apple Acres under any circumstances.

They’ve shown the interior of at least one barn there in at least one episode. Given the size of the farm (*), I’ve always assumed that there was a main barn near the farmhouse, and subsidiary storage structures located elsewhere on the property.

(*) Small compared to a real modern American Midwestern American agribusiness, but remember that their farm equipment is mostly the sort you’d see on a farm 100-150 years ago.

Wasn’t there an episode that featured a barn-raising? And I got the impression it wasn’t a rare event. Maybe it’s not a permanent structure and they just build one when they need it?

Aww, I was going for Mudbriar.

Crops and products

Sweet Apple Acres is shown for the first time in Friendship is Magic, part 1. It has a large apple crop, which Applejack tries to harvest by herself in Applebuck Season. Applejack and Apple Bloom sell apples in the Ponyville marketplace in Call of the Cutie. Other crops and products include:

• Corn, which Applejack harvests in The Return of Harmony Part 1.

• Zap apples, which are harvested and made into zap apple jam in Family Appreciation Day.
• Apple cider, which is produced and sold in The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000.

Zap apple jam and apple cider are particularly popular products; ponies wait in long queues to purchase them.

In The Last Problem, Winona is revealed to have had three puppies in the future.

• A Carrot Farm, unnamed in the show but named in Gameloft’s mobile game, is present in multiple episodes. In mid-January 2015, Jim Miller stated «It is something we should address at some point» [2] and that one of the ideas discussed was Golden Harvest living there. [3]
