Duty Calls

Neat idea. :) I'm thinking though that Jam probably hates Filthy Rich. The dude touts himself as some self-made millionaire, but in actuality, he inherited both a sizable fortune AND Barnyard Bargains from his father. She can't stand his hokey, good ol' country boy act, she KNOWS he's ruthless behind the scenes, and that he's your typical robber baron capitalist. He underpays his workers to mass produce cheap goods, all so he and his stupid chain of stores can pop up and choke out local small businesses. Pinkie Pie and Cheese took a small loan from the Cakes to set up their own party supply/joke shop, and they nearly went under several times because Filthy kept undercutting their prices. He says there's nothing wrong with a little friendly competition, Jam disagrees. She called on Gladmane, and together they strong-armed Rich into staying OUT of Pie territory. Gladmane may be of similar fake-nice cloth as Filthy, but he's more transparent in a lot of ways, and Jam appreciates that. Gladmane, comparatively, is pretty fond of his apprentice, and considers her something like a daughter...........*cue Gladmane's actual daughter screaming in the background

aw, poor ponk :( i can imagine how rough it is having her eldest leave home for something so dangerous (both royal guard and the following pandora shenanigans) and then to have jammy be so brusque in her adulthood. it's not that jam doesn't want to be AROUND her family, per se, she just has.... other, more important things to do, right, yeah. wonder if she will ever come around on this, but i get it--sometimes you don't realize how much you miss your family til you need em

But you see, she is making time for family. The family.

Not okay, Jammy. Children should always make time for their family. I mean, unless the family in question is abusive or mean, but in any other case, family time is vital.

ramble time: at first glance I thought the stallion was filthy rich (no idea why), but that got me thinking... DID Jam ever study under Filthy? He was a pretty successful businessman, even if only in Ponyville, and Jam had to start somewhere. If she did study under him, I have this hilarious mental image of both Spoiled and Filthy having the 'students' over for dinner every once in a while when their lessons ran long - cue a slightly older magnolia nearing the end of her stint under spoiled rich sitting across the table from a slightly younger jam sandwich just beginning her tenure as filthy rich's student, both wondering why the other's there. they know each other through their mothers, of course, but... well, none of the mane six are too friendly with the rich's (maybe with the exception of diamond tiara), so why is the other filly there? huh. interesting. (meanwhile, diamond is caught between feeling sorry for the fillies and trying to ignore the feeling of being replaced.)

Poor Pinkie, being a parent sounds tough man... Gives me sad vibes like when Cupcake joined the royal guard

I love how Jam calls her ‘kid’. X’D I’m getting such a 1940’s New Yorker vibe from her and I love it.

And after that, Jammy always gave *the best* hearth's warming gifts.
