What if Applejack was a Villain? 

I get the feeling that she still wouldn't lie so much as she would stretch and bend the truth, withhold information, and intentionally word things in ways that will absolutely be misinterpreted by others. She can be deceitful but still technically honest. I can practically hear her say something along the lines of "Have I ever once lied to you?"

"Fluttershy is coming" makes a nightmare design for everypony except Fluttershy

I feel like "The Bad Apple Bunch" would be a straight up name for a group of outlaws and bandits.

I like the saying "one bad apple spoils the bunch" so taken literally it could mean that once Applejack "turns" evil her family isn't far behind. Anyway what if Applebloom was like Robin but evil lol?

BAD APPLE??? Now I want Apple Jack singing Bad Apple.

Applejack thinking she is Micah from red dead redemption 💀

Darker thought, what if Big Mac got hurt, and they did loose the farm. Now Applejack's determined to steal from the world that took that from her, taking even more than they need because "They don't deserve to have anything!"

I think her name should probably just be "Highjack", by dropping the Apple part of her name it shows a shift from her wanting to protect her family.

Now she gives off red dead redemption vibes, and I guess her musical number one is about being a loner, a helper, and a provider, and falling a family, All while singing this on a train while pulling off a grand heist! ✨🍎🍏✨

How did NO ONE come with this idea earlier!? Being a western outlaw is THE perfect idea for an evil apple jack!!!

Applejack abandons the thought that honest work always pays off so she instead resorts to illegal means to sustain her farm by becoming a bandit??? Sign me the f*ck up i can imagine her and her family becoming a crime cartel under the guise of modest apple farmers.

Applehijack, Bad Mac & Apple Doom GO!

apple jack sure won the poll! dang, i wonder how nobody voted for fluttershy.

Pinkie pie but nightmare would be nice to see❤

saturating her colour is such a good call!! the red vibrant orange is really threatening, I like how it's paired against the black items (eeeevil baaaaad pony) and the almost white mane and tail (her belief that she is doing the right thing). judge jury executioner is a good take I think!! love her as a western villain, makes a ton of sense with the established character and theming I think. I'm actually rewatching mlp now because of you haha and something that does stand out about applejack in the early season that I'd kind of glossed over is that she IS very concerned with morality and fairness, and twisting that into someone who Knows Best TM is a good good take. ALSO DON'T DISRESPECT MY GIRL BEST PONY. she has a lot to work with imo!! remember that episode when she failed at stuff and she ran away from home to like become a whole different pony and send money back to the farm but she couldn't Show Her Face Ever Again because she was a disgrace? I could see that as an alternate origin story, like where she feels that she has failed so bad that she can now not only accept help (normal mode), she no longer DESERVES it (self-hate spiral mode)? and that could lead to a disillusionment from larger society and turning her into a lone wolf type deal, because she is now the scum of the earth and no one should associate with her ever again, but that self-imposed isolation also makes it easier to fall into Crime because no one's holding you back and there's no one to be accountable to ....... and if you've alienated your friends by refusing to accept that they still care about you, you have to prove to them that you're a shit person anyway right. it's kind of a spiral of self loathing and dishonesty that I think she'd hate inside herself but couldn't break free from because becoming honest again would mean admitting how far she's come and she's too proud and too afraid both to do that. yeehaw I love these

You are legally required to make flutter, shy the most evil

Please, I beg of you to make a mini drawing of apple bloom as apple highjack's sidekick, apple doom.

AppleJack Looks Totally AWESOME As A VILLAIN!!!!!!! 8:51

big fan of her having spurs, a device used for horse riding. very funny

Awesome job making Evil Applejack, now all that's left is Fluttershy & Pinkie Pie. I usually call her Apple Blight the nightmare of Dishonesty & eats sour apples. See you next time.

Omg idk if you’ve heard the song “the devil wears a suit and tie” but that’s totally what I imaging a like- folk song about her would be like. Just- imagine: ponies sitting around the fire, camping in the woods not far from the old train tracks.. whispering warning stories of the bandits who prowl nearby waiting for the trains to pass through… and the worst of them all, Apple Hi-Jack, and her legendary heists. Renowned and feared in equal measure for her heists and cruelty. One thing about her is that she never lies… dosent believe in it, she says… but that only means when she has her eyes set on you and she says “I’m fixin’ to end your life” you best say a prayer, because she never breaks a promise.

I can imagine ponies singing about her tale and how shes evil While apple highjack sings about her family why shes evil and pulling a heist or something

Apple Jack, fed up with being a background pony, turns villain instead. Also, how about instead of loosing the farm she looses her family and turns evil on the quest for revenge. That’s like, half of all western movies

Makes sense, if this is the same continuity as Eternal Nightmare Night, the Sweet Apple Acres probably didn't do well with the loss of light. They just couldn't keep up with other plants that can adapt better.

Best evil Applejack concept ever. Not much competition there, but that's because it's so hard to do well. Congrats, 'cuz this is genuinely awesome.

I can imagine her lackeys being the buffalo guys from the desert place

I can see this happening if the Flim Flam brothers had won in the Super Cider Squeezy 6000 episode. Her losing the farm despite the help from her friends to keep it causes her to give up on friendship (and the citizens of ponyville due to the betrayal) and the fact she was the one to bet the farm in the first place makes her want to do everything by herself because its “her responsibility”

THIS IS SO SICK, THE BAD COWBOY AESTHETIC IS SO GOOD ON HER🥺🥺🥺

I like the call of changing hijack coat color to a more saturated color, and in a way makes a lot of sense. the nightmare forms/evil sides we've seen in the show and comic, only one nightmare doesn't not do the dark coat format. Daybreaker. Instead of her coat turning to darker red/orange, it remains the same only with the outline turning orange. this makes sense since spending overtime in the sun leads to sun bleached. in a way this also be applied to hijack, as an now evil cowboy, she probably will spend most of her time in the sun, thus giving her a sun burnt appearance! :3

As it turns out, evil is a great growth booster😂

Springing off of the judge, jury, and executioner train of thought... Shackle Jack sounds like it could work.

Ooh man, I love this one! I also like the name you used for her, Apple Hijack. 🍎🍏 After seeing all the baddie pony videos up to this point, I’m actually inspired to create fan art of them, and perhaps the dragon-ified ponies too!

If you do make flutter shy you should take inspiration from discord since that would be cool

Ah yes, the Apple Outlaw. Bounty hunters hate her! Towns tremble in fear!

6:13 We need more money, Arthur

honestly, i think the name apple hijack is good, but "apple snatch" also came to mind. very nice concept overall, though!! love the idea of a vigilante desperada who takes up thievery to support her family. while it's not deemed morally okay, it's for the good/betterment of others, at least in the view of aj. it's also a nice way to show and explore how far she's willing to go for her family

Rotten Apple or Apple Sour would be fun!

Yall, she better sound like a genderbent Striker from Helluva Boss

Bro I love AJ and you did her so much justice!! Bad boy cowboy is everything 😭😭💙

APPLE HIJACK! damn that is way better. i was so thinking Sour Apple, when you said "what would AJ do that would SOUR her character?" XD i just found this series but im so glad i did!

“This isn’t you sis, you’re an honest horse with a honest job!”

Elements of Disharmony/Imbalance : 1. Midnight sparkle : Dark Magic ( Ik kinda basic- ) 2. Rainbow slash : infidelity ( antonym for loyalty ) 3. Apple Hijack : Deceit / Dishonesty 4. Twisted pinkie pie : glumness / Grief 5. Twisted Fluttershy : Cruelty / Bitterness 6. Twisted Rarity : Selfishness /parsimony

This is my favorite one yet! I love her color pallete and the bandit look!

My idea for Apple hijack’s lackeys would be Apple Gloom and Big hackingtosh (for example he makes like stink bombs and that’s why the name’s there) or big bad just for funzies, where applebloom would blow their sad story of being homeless out of proportion and Big Mac would force the workers out of the train if they were at a stand off and give them the advantage! I might draw them tbh because this is honestly dope!! You could also say Applejack turned evil because her honesty was taken advantage of by Filthy rich and he took over the farm and was like “no can do” with an evil laugh, and it finally makes applejack snap

sighs because now i have to draw my pony oc in a nightmare form. AND SHE'S ALREADY RELATED TO DREAMS SO AWWWW YEAH

Sickly Bloom and Big Bad Makes smoke escapes and is sickly sweet as the cute face of the group to distract. Is the muscle, AH takes care of the front being the legend and the main, and he clears her way while working beside her and not taking front.

I did drew free hand of the mane 6 as magical humans since I was inspired by Hextian's dolls of MLP FIM. Midnight Sparkle (Pride) Rainbow Storm [Disloyalty] Clarity (Rarity) Greed Apple Blight [Dishonesty] Wrath Flutterbat or Fluttershy villain who timid [evil & bitter] Pinkie Pie [Cackle] (Gluttony)

Not the poll being completely against her favor and Jane just ignoring it 😭😭

Man, I can relate to "when the muse strikes, you gotta take it" And honestly, it was amazing! Love all of your art btw ♡

I'm planning on drawing "the evil 6" all at the same time when all the designs are out

i love the color choices here...she is so red!!!

Me who voted for AJ :))))))

*Me being the basically one percent of people who voted for Applejack* " yay?"

I love apple jack and this rendition makes her justice :3, or as much justice as can prevail under her watch anyway...

Love love LOVE the saturated colors. They totally bring in the black.

omg i got here from the tumblr post! absolutely in love with how you designed her it all fits so well together.

This is my favorite nightmare form so far,I love me a good cowboy(or girl in this case)gone bad/rouge character

I feel like the lackey forms for applebloom and big Mac would be: Appleboom, an big iron :] (please see this jane, I beg you i love your art, and I wish i could draw these lackey forms but I'm to scared to post my art online for the fear of ppl stealing it)

She saving flutter shy for the end

character who will do anything for his family 🥰 character who will do ANYTHING for his family 😧

8:30 "This is where my parents died, Twilight"

How the end result came about is interesting. I honestly thought you took inspiration from Zorro from the design stand point. Awesome story for her

Your designs are so fun! Love the eye mask for her and the spiky boots ❤

THIS IS MY FVAORITE OUT OF ALL OF THEM I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Apple Hyjack is literally perfect

I feel like if pony’s talked about her they would call her the rotten apple

She really reminds me of the evil AJ from the comic mirror Equestria! I guess it's an unintentional reference.

this slays something fierce! The scariest bandito this side of Appaloosa

I turned mine into a larger version of aj and took inspiration from the earth pony magic and call em "terrafarmers"

Consider, nightmare Apple Bloom being "Apple Blight"

yessss i love hijack!! the design hits so well!

oh god this just made me think of aj's corruption in the Friendship is Tragic series.

The archetype you're looking for is farm hand

Hijack is a good name. I,ve been coming up with some good names like Black Jack, Cracker Jack, Whiplash, and Buckshot.

Oh goodness, I love this so much! Not a huge fan of the green, it seems to clash, but the overall design and color choices are amazing. I love what you are doing with this series

AHHHHH Its applejack One of my favs side from fluttershy and pinkie The mane 6? More like....the MEAN 6

OH MY GOD!!! MY FAVORITE PONY IS NOW EVIL!!! I LOVE HER EVEN MORE!!! ❤❤ Seriously, your art goes so hard!!! I love your art

These designs are consistently great! Always love seeing these videos in my feed. Look forward to seeing more videos in the near future.

BUT I CAME CRAWLING BACK FOR MORE THO !? I love your designs so much. They always inspire me ♥

Oooo yes! I absolutely loved seeing what you did with this one! It feels original, with it still feeling like it could fit into an alternative comic/series! (Both artstyle and lore 👀 ✨) Theres so much possibility in all of these aus, and im so hyped! Thank you!^^

5:51 For nightmare rainbowdash I think what would also be cool is RainbowMosh? Like a mosh pit? Rock🥹??? Idk but it doesn’t flow but I thought it was cool

Fluttershys coming alright, she’s coming a year later after the nightmare series is over

Big Mac's nightmare form be Big Iron

Apple Hijack would be either the easiest to turn back or the hardest. Since she still has morals, if someone were to pull on that a transformation back could be doable. But since those morals still exist, it may mean she may never be able to transform back and is just stuck like this forever. (At least visually.)

Straight out of an old western!

Another name I was thinking of was Bruised Apple

An alternate name could be bad apple or something like that

HOLY SHIITAKE MUSHROOM THAT CONCEPT IS SO COOL!!! Love your design for Applejack

Poison Apple: villain of famine.

“The Countdown” from Epithet Erased could work well for AppleHighjack.

8:06 I immediately thought of striker's song from helluva boss

Do characters like Starlight Glimmer or Trixie before you do Fluttershy lol you ABSOLUTELY nailed this design, btw

I LOVE HER

Rainbow Slash (Rocking Horse) Apple Hijack (Desperado Caballo) Flutter Cry (Lonely Pony) Pinkie Lie (Phony Pony)

applejack becoming jhon wayne. on a more professional note though if i was writing this i would have made applejack more burgundy, but your art seams to be more bright neons which looks cool af.

I know we've already got Nightmare Rarity, but it would be very interesting if you did her again, but with another concept or idea. And then, at the end, we'll have all the 6 nightmares😏 Or you know what too? Nightmare Spike! Nobody remembers Spike ☹️

Big Smack and Scrapple Bloom

Will these nightmare ponies become stickers? I want the full set to put on my pc 👀

This looks amazing! Can't wait to see who's next!!

I love everything about her😍
