10:34] <@TAW> Tchernobog:
[10:34] <@TAW> why does appledash work
[10:34] <@TAW> I'm struggling to think of a sane reason and now I actually need one
[10:35] <Tchernobog> Fox_E and I were talking about this
[10:35] <Tchernobog> they're *beyond* comfortable hanging out with each other, and seem much more physical. Like, how Dash drapes herself on Aj with no complaint from AJ
[10:36] <Tchernobog> or how AJ just seems to grab Dash's tail and so on
[10:37] <Tchernobog> they seem to enjoy each others' presence a lot moreso than most (only pinkie is as physical, really, and Twi on some few occasions)
[10:37] <@TAW> I can accept them wanting to rut each other, they're pretty sexy ponies
[10:37] <Tchernobog> their competitiveness and enjoyment of similar interests (physical prowess and such) just goes hand in hand, I think. They like the same things!
[10:38] <Tchernobog>
[10:38] <@TAW> hm, fair enough, I guess

[10:38] <@TAW> I was hoping you'd have some elaborate revelation for me, but that concretes about where I was thinking
[10:39] <Tchernobog> that's the thing, I think. There's no need for elaborate revelation, or some big "reason"
[10:39] <Tchernobog> they're just best buds
[10:39] <Tchernobog> taking it a step beyond that isn't much of a stretch
[10:39] <@TAW> hm, fair enough, a natural progression makes sense
[10:40] <Tchernobog>
[10:40] <Tchernobog> top right and top left images in that collage for example
[10:40] <Tchernobog> she thinks nothing of leaning on her or holding her down like that
[10:41] <Tchernobog>

[10:41] <Tchernobog> and that
[10:41] <Tchernobog> i mean come on
[10:41] <Tchernobog> even for best buds that's something totally different
[10:42] <Tchernobog> she's pretty much clinging on that flank
[10:42] <@TAW> I struggle to try and build any sort of romantic relationship off of that, though, really, but I suppose it does work as a casual natural progressiony thing
[10:42] * Tchernobog nod
[10:43] <Tchernobog> I think it's why I like it
[10:43] <Tchernobog> it's a natural progression
[10:43] <Tchernobog> rather than requiring some big reveal, or event, or such
[10:44] <@TAW> well, by revelation I more meant a character-interpretationy type thing rather than something in-universe
[10:44] <Tchernobog> ah
[10:44] * Tchernobog shrug. Not really
[10:44] <@TAW> fair enough, I'm sure I'll manage
