Applejack at her mother and father's grave. In my little world Applejack's mother dies birthing Apple Bloom and her father follows her death through suicide. I'm working on a fanfic to explain it all. Dx |

Having a father kill himself over the depression of his wife dying, when he has 2 children to take care of seems very unlikely. |

Suicide sounds a bit harsh.
I can see maybe his health started to deteriorate after his Wife's death, plus toiling out on the farm, (even with all that extra help and equipment, it's still hard, plus the death of his wife..) But one of the hearty, healthy Apple Family members commitin' suicide? Not sayin' it's impossible sugarcube, just not sure if I'd be able to believe it. Or maybe it just sounds unoriginal. I'm not sure XD I can understand the mom thing though, tbh that was kind of my head canon as well. |

That's very true! I'm still messing with ideas. I think I might like the overworking himself thing a bit more than the suicide idea, makes a lot more sense. |

depression can effect physical health.
and i've met a few farmers, living in alberta and all. none of them were the kind of people to off themselves if anything he'd probably work himself to death, trying to avoid thinking about his wife by working twice as hard. i could also see him becoming distant from his kids in that time. not unloving, but distant. apple bloom would most likely be raised more by big mac and applejack then their father. just my thoughts VV |

@your_waifu: Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking :)
True story btw; my boyfriend's grandparents were still very much in love with eachother, even when they were elderly. But when my bf's grandma passed away, his grandfather soon followed. It wasn't because he killed himself or anything, but as your_waifu said, depression really does effect your physical health. Plus when your spouse dies, especially when you've lived together for so long, it's hard to go on living- but in their father's case I agree, he'd work harder to try and forget, not realize how hard he's pushing his depression-stricken, over-worked body, and he would unfortunetly distance himself from his children. Come to think of it the only ones who'd really see his weakness would probably be Granny Smith, as I think his children wouldn't know much about it except maybe the bare basics/scratched surface. (Unless Big Macintosh is more intuitive than he lets on, and being the first-born and his father's only Son, they had to have been close...) ...great now I'm all sad XD |

Well, not "forget" per sey, but y'know, get his mind off of it and to put on a strong front for his children, not showing any injuries or how bone-tired he was. Plus males tend to have heart problems so I can see his heart being over-worked too, along with the physical and emotional damage... |

That was also what I think happened to Applejack's parents. (Mom died giving birth to Applebloom, Dad became depressed and thus worked himself to death.)
Be sure to post a link to your fanfic when it's done! |

I'd just like to thank Doctor Who for letting me avoid the sad in this picture purely by obsessing on the Angel statue in the background. :< |

LOL @ Skipta
You and me both. |

So I had to look up the Doctor Who reference as I've never seen the show and I have to say I'm rather terrified of statues now. :c |
