I love this art style!

Orange you glad it’s not a pear?

Don’t be rude to your aunt and uncle, Applejack.

In marmalade too, of course. Though I guess boiling that up tends to destroy the antiscorbutics…
 
@TexasUberAlles  
Ew, nasty.
 
Also I’d forgotten that the Scott expedition came pre-ponified, and I just made myself sad. That one didn’t end very well for the hoofers either, though they probably helped fight off the scurvy more than all the pre-packed tea and (back on topic) orangey preserves the expedition had lugged along for sponsorship reasons.

So all those brave polar exploration expeditions? Scurvy-ridden death marches  
Several unfortunate-but-fortunate-to-survive polar expeditions reported that after they were forced to eat their sled dogs to survive, all the skin peeled off the bottoms of their feet… and their “man purses”. Hypervitaminosis combined with severe deficiency of other vitamins is a harsh mistress

it’s just an orange…

Best fruit? You mean plums?

@when she felt her wings unfold  
That’s a way better humans are one of the only few animals that this happens to fact then the other one I know.

@mbeeston  
I used to smell orange peels when I was sick because, uh…

@OneOverTwo  
Science fact! Only a few animals like humans, bats and guinea pigs can even suffer from scurvy. More fortunate creatures like horses and pirates make their own vitamin C!
 
(Actually, pirates probably put in at safe ports fairly regularly to lie low or spend their loot, and would have eaten fresh provisions as a result. Though their record keeping tended to be terrible. Its the navy boys on long voyages with crap food who got the worst of it, and though they’d mostly figured out the thing with the lemons and limes by the 18th century they managed to forget the cure in the late 19th and early 20th century in a bureaucratic cock-up. So all those brave polar exploration expeditions? Scurvy-ridden death marches.)

the peel isn’t inedible, its used in dishes as a spice. i used to eat the peels all the time.

@when she felt her wings unfold  
But she is a horse.

Burn his house down, with the orange!

But I thought you’d appreciate the help against scurvy considering you’re a pirate & all.

i’m with her, dragon fruit forever!

@picklebrain  
There are orange apples, though.

I’ve always found it hilarious that the apple pony is orange.

This is clearly forbidden according to the Book of Apples. Its crunch is very underwhelming, and the peel is inedible unless you are a horse or something seriously just look at it.

That is the best fruit, scrub.

Psst, Aj’s very sensitive about her fruit colour dysphoria!

But Aj, oranges are delicious.

but its the same color as you
