"I'm Dirk Thistleweed, that's my real name"
— Dirk Thistleweed, letting Applejack know his real name[source]

Dirk Thistleweed was the guitarist and singer for his band. A famous country musician, Dirk was hugely popular among teenagers and played at the Starswirl Music Festival with his bandmates, Alice (keyboard) and Jackie (violin).

History

At some point, Dirk either formed or joined a band with two women, Alice and Jackie.[note 1] He and his bandmates encountered Sunset Shimmer in their backstage and expected her to want to take a selfie with them, though was surprised to see she wanted them to take a picture of her with their technical crew instead.[1]

Later, at Starswirl, he had three different experiences depending on the timeline.[2] In one version of the timeline befriended Snails due to his armpit farting talents and later gave Applejack a backstage pass to his concert for being friends with him.[3] In another, he lost his voice though was cured by the "all-cure remedy" Rainbow Dash made for Applejack and shared the food with Applejack.[4] In the final known outcome, he played the show normally, but Pinkie Pie got on his stage and signaled for Applejack, though she was tackled by Jonah, Dirk waved at Applejack.[5]

Personality

Dirk was shown to be quite immature and a little vain, but otherwise humble, down to Earth and kind. He appeared to be quick to befriend people, as shown in how quickly he became friends with Snails, who he lauded as the "greatest artistic genius" of the generation for his armpit farting. In spite of his quirks, he was a very talented guitarist.

Relationships

Snails

Dirk, like any reasonable person, had a great deal of respect towards Snails, considering him a great artist and a genius. The two were good friends, so much so that Dirk allowed Snips and Applejack backstage just for being friends with Snails.

Applejack

Applejack had a huge crush on Dirk, always blushing in his presence. Dirk didn't seem to have any romantic feelings towards Applejack, but nonetheless treated her well and kindly.

Bandmates

He seemed to get along with his bandmates, though they've never been seen actually interacting.

Behind the scenes

Dirk was voiced by Scott Perrie, a musician from the musical group "Winsome Kind", which is a duet between him and his wife, Leora Perrie. Though mostly a musician, Perrie is also an actor who appeared in stage productions and anime, most notably of the latter being Gundam and Megaman NT Warrior, in the latter of which he portrayed the main rival, Chaud.

In-joke

Dirk Thistleweed may be a little in-joke based off an older script of Equestria Girls: Rollercoaster of Friendship. In the script, it would be revealed that Applejack and Rarity were in love, though in the final product, it was decided that it be left for fan interpretation. The next special after Rollercoaster of Friendship introduced Ragamuffin, a character who looked just like Applejack with a similar naming convention, "unusual" accent and other minor similarities who Rarity swooned after. Afterwards, Dirk appeared in the next series of shorts and had a very similar appearance to Rarity and Applejack was implied to have a crush on him.
