[S7 Spoiler] Apple Bloom and flashbacks
This popped into my head last night at work for some reason. Yes, I randomly think of pony at work sometimes. Maybe more than sometimes. Though its usually just songs.
I wonder how they're going to fit Apple Bloom into the whole situation with Applejack's parents.
We've already seen 2 flashbacks of AJ's past at two different periods. One when she was a young filly prior to getting her cutie mark, and the one in "Where the Apple Lies" where she's a bit older.
In both of those flashbacks, her parents were nowhere to be seen and she's seemingly already being cared for by Granny Smith. Heck, in the second one its pretty much outright stated that they're gone and not just off-camera since Granny Smith is in charge of the farm and AJ and Big Mac are "next in line" to be in charge, which they wouldn't be if the parents were still in the picture. Which is fine, they disappeared / died / whatever when she was young, simple enough.
Except... Apple Bloom. She was ALSO nowhere to be seen in either of those flashbacks. She clearly wouldn't have been in the first one, there's way too much of an age difference between AJ and AB for her to have been born by that point.
She could have conceivably been born for the second one, but she's nowhere to be seen anywhere there either, and if she were just a baby then the whole Apple family ending up in the hospital with a baby Apple Bloom left unattended would be a bit of a problem.
So what does that mean for the parents, then? How are they gone in all of AJ's flashbacks and yet Apple Bloom still exists? What, did they leave for a long period of time, came back at some point to drop Apple Bloom off at the farm, then disappear again? Did they disappear, come back, then die? Is Apple Bloom actually adopted?
Whatever the case, she's going to make things far more complicated. Unless they just leave it as a plot hole.
