No offense, but am I the only one who gets that being the Element of Whatever, doesn't stop you from going against that elememnt? Okay, so Applejack is the Element of Honesty - so that means she's incapable of lying? No, this isn't Liar Liar ponyfied, this is a TV series with characters who actually have very down to earth personalites, and are therefore not perfect. Why does it always have to be a big deal whenever Applejack lies? Her element simply means that (out of the main six at least), she is the most honest, just like Fluttershy is the most kind, Rainbow Dash is the most loyal and so on.

There is nothing binding these characters to their elements, which gives the show a more realistic feal to me. It's not just AJ either; Pinkie failed to live up to her element in A Party of One, Rarity was the opposite of generous during the second half of Sonic Rainboom (though she was actually very generous in the first half, but very few of us seem to remember that), and Fluttershy was not at her kindest in The Best Night Ever and Putting Your Hoof Down however much I hate the latter. All of the ponies have broken their elements at some point, and if they haven't it wil happen one day, because the ponies are not perfect - because they would be pretty boring characters if they were.
