2821558 Well fine, I didn't wanna be best friends with you anyway.

I find the "Pinkie is too insane/random for love" angle to be a very narrow (and kind of insulting) view of the character, but I also accept that other people have other thoughts on the matter. Explaining why Apple Pie is so great takes a lot of words, and I don't really feel like typing quite that many words at this moment. >_> Maybe later.

I do find Twijack boring, you are correct. I don't find it "so bad", though. I don't even find it moderately bad. I just don't actively like it, at all, so it's at the bottom of my list. I have read some good Twijack fics that I enjoyed very much, though, like Applejack Anonymous or the first few chapters of The Apple Tree.

If you're a Twi/Dash thug for life, I'd think you'd be more annoyed by my refusal to acknowledge the ship's existence. :P That's the only mane6xmane6 ship I actually dislike.

I just finished re-marathonning the first four seasons of The League, so I think I'll be fine with your stuff.

2822012 Fine jeez! :raritydespair:

And it's not that I don't think of Pinkie Pie being so insane that she's not capable of understanding it, but I can't see her wanting it yet, so you might be misunderstanding me. I see her more as a person who wants to love and appease everyone, and at her young age I can't see her actively go looking for it like that when she already has a soft spot for all of her friends in the first place. She is also my fifth hardest character to write well, as I can't quite comprehend her despite being very close to her mentally myself. I make her too serious and down to earth for my own good. Some people like it, some don't.

I know before Razed Rainbow I laughed at the concept of Rare/Dash being a ship, and here it is being my second favorite and one I think I can write decently, if not in my own special education way. I... literally don't think you could convince me to get into Apple/Pie. I've tried Rare/Jack from Razed, and that didn't do it. Can't see that either. Does not compute.

Got ya. Maybe ya just need to try my story for a spin and see where I can take them and hope that - maybe? - gives you a new - extreme! - take on them. But that's also the appeal is how they both are the most sane of the two. I like them.

There is a special place in Tartarus for not finding the infinite glory of Twi/Dash to be infinite. I love my Rare/Dash, but Twi/Dash is part of my soul, and I shall one day attempt to match Ardenfax's glory. However he demanded I write a Rare/Dash clop, so I shall do that. Soon.

Pretty much E.E.E is Archer. With ponies. It's literally the best description ever. And the first two versions - nearly done with version three revisions - were written before I watched the show. Dash is Sterling, Rarity is Malary, and Twilight is Lana.

2822266 That's pretty much what I thought you meant regarding Pinkie. A lot of people seem to hold that view, and frankly I find it ludicrous. But again, different strokes and all that.

I have no intention of trying to convince you to like the ship. People are gonna like the ships they like, and it's no skin off my back if they have different preferences than my own. Unless those preferences include Sparity, in which case I hate them and everything they stand for. I was merely saying that my reasons for liking Apple Pie amount to a more complicated explanation than most other ships I like.

2825831 If only I was half as talented as her. And so I write Twi/Jack Rare/Dash pervertedly. It's what a KiltedKey does. I am totally reading this later. Thanks for starting this contest. Already three thousand words into the story. Just a fun side story to write and help the juices and comedy - hopefully - flow.

2825831 But Bookplayer only has 800 followers! How could she possibly manage that one?

2825831 That's certainly how I evaluate my theistic choices.

2822972 Another topic. Rainbow and Rarity and curse words. Since you and I don't mind dropping a bomb or two. And I like to get into the head of another author.

As we discussed earlier you had Rainbow say fuck. Personally I see her as the one who would swear the most. She doesn't care, she likes summing up her thoughts quickly, and she's not a fan of lying about it.

Depending on the setting, I think she would be a massive proponent of crap. "Aww crap. Wow, that was crappy of me. Crap, I'm late!" It's just... her. In the show she also swears the most as well. I can also picture her being a fan of screw you and damned when pushed far enough. Of course buck is on the table.

As for Rarity? I just have a fetish for her going all British with her cursing. Bugger off. Blasted. Sodding, bloody, and yes, even piss off . Bastard is a very Rarity word.

The only time I picture Rarity swearing non-British swears is in the bedroom.:raritywink:

I agree that Dash would be the one that swears like a sailor. (Although I sometimes suspect that Twilight would probably also have a major potty mouth on her:rainbowlaugh:)

Also, another story in the read later list. Will I ever catch up?:applejackconfused:

2827657 Honestly, I feel like I get a lot of mileage out of "Ponyfeathers" and "Horseapples". Both terms are just so evocative, I can't help but love putting them in wherever I can.

Aside from that, my feelings on this issue actually aren't all that strong in any direction. I tend to have AJ and Rainbow swear the most (As do, I think, most authors), and Fluttershy and Pinkie the least (Again, no surprises.) Rarity's great because of the elaborate, dramatic way she says everything, so you can have a lot of fun with her when she really gets pissed off.

I could definitely see Twilight swearing a LOT behind closed doors. Kind of a gold mine for comedy if somebody used it right.

2828519 Another person who agrees that British swearing Rarity is best Rarity. It is a fact of life that her accent gets thicker when she is mad. She's adorable all pissed off, either angry or drunk.

I think - and personally write - that Twilight simply represses her desire to swear by using an extremely advanced vocabulary, much like Rarity does. Intellect, IQ, and educational level do not mean one doesn't swear. I consider myself moderately well read and I wrote a comedy about it! And my entire extended family for that matter.


2828745 I'm really not fond of those two in my own personal writings, but that's what makes each other different from each other. I just have my own spin on the characters, and make them more sarcastic than they should be, considering yours truly is a massive fan of sarcasm.

But exactly. Applejack and Rainbow do swear the most in the show itself, and it fits both of them. Pinkie I think would say it at the worst or most incorrect moments. But yes, Rarity is absolutely a ham, and even half drunk - or even more so because she's half drunk? - the dramatics she can throw tearing a pony down is just... it's why I enjoy writing her so much myself. Again, I do a different take on her because I don't want to make her fashion/culture/nobles are my life/dresses everywhere flat character. She can be so much more. She's damn smart too.

I think I do a decent job at making Twilight swear. She's also the kind of person who would want to swear but can't, and people call her out on it, and you just see her twitching as her mind wants to but she's holding herself back. She's so awesome antsy like that.

2829940 Speaking of Rarity's nobility/dresses stuff, that brings up something that Bookplayer's new fic brought to my mind.

Disclaimer, I haven't read Bookplayer's new fic yet, so I don't know how she handled it.

We know in the show Rarity cares a lot about class and appearances, but culture in Equestria is fairly nebulous. It blends aspects of medieval times and modern day all over the place.

Now, Rarity, being a pony who admires the upper class... What behavior does that actually ascribe to her? Do you think she'd have more in common with older ideas of high society (Ivy League Education, Stuffy Wine Tastings, Polo and Investment Clubs, etc.) or more of a yuppie (Exclusive Dance Clubs and Restaurants, needlessly expensive luxury items, cocaine, etc.)

Personally, I see her as more of a yuppie. I mean, she's not quite a yuppie herself, but that's the kind of society I like to imagine her trying to fit in with more. Sometimes people write her as afraid to ever toe the line of anything slightly vulgar or base, but I find that interpretation of her character kinda... boring. And, I guess, kinda outdated. Not that people of that vein don't exist anymore, or aren't considered high class anymore, but just that the yuppie version of her seems more interesting and relatable to me.

For Example, I assume most of us in this group have read bats's Tap That. I love the part about how Rarity allows herself to have a cigarette after a stressful dress order, and she has one of those long black cigarette holders. To me, that seems exactly the kind of thing Rarity would do (and I've since borrowed the idea a few times, >_>). The more old fashioned version of Rarity would be appalled at the idea, though.

Enough of my rambling. Floor's open.

2830385 I seriously love this conversation more than you know. I really do. And if it wasn't for my ex not only would I have not begun to write fanfiction in the first place I would not have fallen in love with Rarity to begin with.

And honestly about Rarity and culture? Everything.

With how much she has grown in the show she is culture. It isn't just nobility. She has an intellectual, hipster, noble, and rural upper-middle class girl vibe going all in one. She enjoys learning about the world at large, is a fan of art, opera, music, and most likely literature, poetry, fashion, and almost certainly film.

She has the best of everything that is modern culture. She can talk about fine wine, the latest novels, Hoofwood scandals, the fashion industry, food - of all sorts - considering she enjoys Applejack's cider, which happens to be nobility grade according to the recent episode and it is hard cider and more things than I can name on the top of my head. She can fit into pretty much any crowd other than perhaps jocks and rednecks like Applejack with ease. I'm sure she enjoys some philosophy and sociology with Twilight, considering sociology is pretty much what Rarity does naturally. Gardening with Fluttershy, and maybe physical fitness of multiple kinds with Rainbow Dash. Pinkie... I'll get back to you later.

Yuppie: <- +1 Rep. She's a half yuppie. A self made yuppie. My extended headcanon has her more than capable of saying screw the rules I'm getting drunk on vodka with the girls tonight and let's play DDR until we pass out. I agree that I'm sick of people seeing her as prim, proper, and only that. I was that person a year or so ago. And now fan fiction, writing her, and other things have made me see with the write author who isn't afraid to break the G rated envelope she can be so much more. She can be the female lead in a British R rated romantic comedy. She can be that intellectual and Oxford equal educated and connected mare with a silver tongue, a sharp wit, a glass of gin, and a witty quip when well done. That's the joy of fanfiction, extend them. Make them them and yet play with them a bit. Have fun.

I... think we are on the same page? I certainly can't see her shying away at all of talking about sex with her friends or absolutely insulting a pony either directly or indirectly sexually or in other manners. Rainbow Dash just doesn't help her vulgarity filter. They are the best couple.

"Wow, so what do you think his problem was?"
"Oh it is very clear that his problem is his inability to hold himself to attention for long if the gossip mill is to believed. If you like my personal view on it I hope the next trolley bloody castrates him as he tries to step on board. The world would be a better place."
"W-w-wow, Rarity. That's friggin dark."
"Ahh but the words are true nevertheless are they not, Rainbow Dash?"
"... He was kinda a prick."
"Very much so."

I couldn't see her as a heavy or even light smoker. Very light at most. She wouldn't want to get a deep voice, and she would know it's bad for the skin. She'd also know sex ages you down. :rainbowlaugh:

2833019 Yeah, we're definitely on the same page.

And regarding the smoking, yeah, the idea is that it's a very occasional vice. I really like it.

... Floor's still open, if anybody else wants to weigh in...?

2833569 That's because we have no life about this couple, and it's all thanks to Razed for causing this shite. It is. It's his fault for getting me into the couple.

Shite. That's a very British word. So is pissed. Getting pissed is just drunk. I'm also very loose with my swearing, but I think after enough stress and five shots of vodka Rarity would stop caring.

"Rarity, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong, what isn't wrong!? All of my dresses today have been utter, complete, barbaric shite! Oh and about ten other things, but that's not important right now."
"Wow. I wasn't expecting to hear that from you."
"And I wasn't expecting to get pissed out of my mind in Stalliongrad vodka, but alas life has thrown me the damn kitchen sink and so I damn it back! Now if you excuse me. I'm... what was I talking about?"
"... You are totally drunk."
"I am not bloody drunk! I... am... erm... lubricated! Yes!"
"... I'm not going to take that out of context."
"But oh can you, darling. Oh can you."
"Drunk."

2833600 Well Rainbow Dash is a walking vice factory, hence why so many novels and stories tear her down and play Linkin Park for her. That's what makes her such a great character to read and write, since you can pretty much fuck up her whole life and make her a hero or anti-hero or scarred to shit. I can absolutely see both of them abusing alcohol if pushed too far or to repress things when the shit hits the fan. However, I must vehemently disagree with you on Rainbow being a smoker. It just doesn't fit, at all. She's too much of an athlete. There is absolutely no way she could do what she could do smoking. It would fuck up her breathing so hard. So I must firmly disagree with you there. I just can't picture it in any manner unless she's not physically fit at all, which... doesn't make any sense since it's canon she can drop kick trees.

However. I can see her abusing pot to numb the pain. That I can see. Either Fluttershy's or finding some from her jock friends.

As for swearing: Whatever you think fits, as there is no 'right' way. We are all different authors, writing different universes, with different canons, personalities, and takes. I'm known for being on the extreme end on the swearing spectrum just period, and I'm okay with that. People swear, and she would swear pretty casually. I just am a fan of buck over fuck, although shit is a good her word and for Applejack. Rainbow is really the crap/damn/screw you kind of person.

It really depends how much on the innocence scale you want to put her on. You can pull her off clean, you can pull her off as a modern jock or many layers between. Just write what you love, and Rainbow can adapt. Fire and Rain has her adorably cute. Upheaval and Where Loyalties Lie have her as a stoic badass, Bluebird extremely emotional. She's capable of a lot.

I am turning down the R rated Rainbow quite a bit compared to Ethanol, Elements, and Estrogen for my Rare/Dash contest story, Spring, Spas, and Soumates. Still, she flirts a lot and just has that not so subtle sexual humor that is borderline trolling. I think it'll hopefully get a laugh out of folks.

2833680 Still can't see her doing it. But meh. I just see her having that biochemical disorder that increases her testosterone which explains pretty much everything she has. If I wasn't so lazy, I would look up exactly the condition.

2833680 Androgens have permanent effects on the developing brain, not just transient effects on the adult brain.48 Girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia overproduce androstenedione, the androgen hormone made famous by the baseball slugger Mark McGwire. Though their hormone levels are brought to normal soon after birth, the girls grow into tomboys, with more rough-and-tumble play, a greater interest in trucks than dolls, better spatial abilities, and, when they get older, more sexual fantasies and attractions involving other girls. Those who are treated with hormones only later in childhood show male patterns of sexuality when they become young adults, including quick arousal by pornographic images, an autonomous sex drive centered on genital stimulation, and the equivalent of wet dreams.49

^ Rainbow Dash.

In regards to Rainbow smoking, Jake is right about many old timey athletes smoking, so it's certainly possible... But I don't like it for RD as much as I like it for Rarity.

New Topic!

Rainbow and Rarity In: Who Says "I Love You" First?

I imagine most people say Rarity without a second glance. She's the one who's interested in romance and pageantry, after all.

But, going back to how I like to set up the ship, I like it a lot more when Rainbow's head over heels for Rarity, who can be anywhere from equally head over heels to much more casual about it. I think the scenario of Rainbow saying it first, because she thinks Rarity will of course feel the same, and then Rarity not being ready is a recipe for absolutely delicious ponedramz.

DISCUSS!

2847725 I did notice that, but this didn't feel worthy of its own thread to me.

2847431 Rainbow would be scared shitless at the thought that it was her that was beginning to feel feelings for Rarity. Her? Her awesomeness? Falling for Rarity? Time for some alcohol, Rainbow Dash, because there isn't enough room in Tartarus for that thought to fit into her head.

And because Rainbow Dash is adorable when she gets all emotional, sniffly, and romantic. Not to mention the drama of it happening. To the point of either Rarity going "Wait what?!" or just falling on the ground laughing like Rainbow would if the inverse were to happen. That's very possible. Many reactions are."

Reaction one: "I... what? Rainbow... are you serious? You are aren't you?"
Reaction two: "Yes yes, Rainbow, I love you like I love good vodka. It burns on the way down but the feeling afterwards is... lovely. Oh my, that analogy was awful, but it's an apt summary."
Reaction three: "Oh... oh Rainbow Dash I almost swear my bladder went out. Oh... oh dear... I am light headed. Oh... oh... Rainbow? Why are you-come back! Oh goodness and damn me-"

2847725 <- They would absolutely have a lot of 'fights'. Both many of them mental battles to see who could 'degrade' who the most throughout the day, and real arguments over the parts of each other that they hate. To the public they absolutely would not be the model couple. I feel irked if anyone were to write them as chipper and gay like Rarity and Fluttershy would be. No. They would have tension, either very real or an ego nudging one. Budding each other for the spotlight, pointing out each other flaws, incredible sarcasm, jabbing insults. That's what makes it so fun to write them in my book. They aren't clean.

However, I can see when the lights are down or the tension high and one of them really does break that's when they get soft, romantic, gushy, and heavily emotional. Once that chord is snapped. It takes something to bring them there, but when it does, it really does.

You guys are silly. Everybody knows Rainbow Dash would shout the L word multiple times during the night Rarity finally takes her virginity, plus one more time post-sex when she's snuggled up to Rarity for a recovery snooze.

Rarity might say it back to her the day Dash cooks her something without burning down her kitchen.
:raritystarry: -"Rainbow Dash! I can't believe you finally managed to do all this by yourself!
:raritywink: -"Who's Mama's little chef?"
:rainbowkiss: -"I AM! ♥"

2847431
I would say Rarity would be the one that says "I love you" first. Rainbow Dash isn't the type to be publicly affectionate, she's too embarrassed about ponies not seeing her as the tough awesome pegasus that she is. In fact, she had to make sure no one is looking before showing affection to her pet turtle!

Either that, or after a tough time trying to get it out they both just blurt it out to each other at the same time resulting in lots of blushing and awkwardness...followed by a night of high passion.

:rainbowkiss::raritywink:

2875870 Why do we all agree that Rarity and Rainbow would have perhaps the best sex life of any mane six shippin? Jesus. We are perverts. Virgin Dash can either be done right or wrong. Post snuggle sex is so Rainbow's weakness. I always picture her having the fluffiest coat of the mane six in a twist of irony. Toned and lean but with a fluffy coat for the lolz.

Head canon: Rainbow makes the best waffles in Ponyville.

I mostly approve of your adorable Rarity to Rainbow subtle dominance pet treating. Oh D/S...

2876028 At first.

The moment they are out about it though is when she'd be comfy with it. When they both know it's real and happening they would not hide it. "Yeah, we're dating, and you aren't getting either of our butts. Now you have to stare at them." Owned.

WHY DO WE ALL SEE THEM AS BEING SO SEXUAL!?

Not that I'm complaining or Razed disagrees with us. Or... Jake?

2876813

WHY DO WE ALL SEE THEM AS BEING SO SEXUAL!?

According to my headcanon: They're the most sexual experienced out of the mane six.
Don't know about what the others think though.:derpyderp1:

2877318 I like your head canon.

I liked it too :pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

I spend a lot of time waffling on whether I want Dash to be experienced, or if I want her to be super inexperienced. I can never really decide.

I'd put Rarity as the most experienced in any ship I ship her in, though.

2880515
I usually portray her as being experienced but with a bad habit of over-exaggerating her skills and numbers.

Example: she claims to have done it 23 times:rainbowdetermined2:, but in reality it is more closer 8.:rainbowhuh:

2876813

Virgin Dash can either be done right or wrong.

Oh this you need to elaborate on.

I mostly approve of your adorable Rarity to Rainbow subtle dominance pet treating.

:rainbowkiss: I love the idea of Rainbow Dash secretly loving to be babied and her being comfortable enough around Rarity to ask for it. I can totally picture Rainbow Dash fully accepting being spoon fed by her if it was offered.
:raritywink: -"Here comes the airplane chariot!"
She wants ponies to cheer for her,
tell her how great she is,
take care of her.
Basically she wants to be treated like a princess. :rainbowwild:
2880515

I spend a lot of time waffling on whether I want Dash to be experienced, or if I want her to be super inexperienced. I can never really decide.

Good news, Lion! I have the perfect solution for you!

Rainbow Dash:
• Experienced: Masturbater
• Inexperienced: Lover

You're welcome :raritywink:

2880515 Rainbow is slightly off making her a super virgin, but Fire and Rain wrote her extremely well in that regard. And made her far too cute for her own good. It's not fair that he made Rainbow that cute. It isn't. Let's talk about Rainbow in a Rare/Dash group! Well... she is one half of it.

It really depends on what world and what author. I can't see her with her sexuality - which I think of as straight down the middle bisexual - her tomgirlness, and most likely general physicality to be a virgin, but I can't see her baring my own writings being the experienced sexual knowledge bank.

Absolutely agree with you though. Rarity is absolutely not a virgin. How experienced? Depends on the author, but George Takei experienced is my Fanon level. Has she had slutty encounters and moments? Far too much studying time on her hooves? Are we all perverts? All depends on the writer. A through reader of erotica knowledge from far too many magazines. I might be playing with this theme for a clop I'm writing. I have no soul.

2880995 On this I shall do.

Rainbow Dash has by far the widest range of accurate character portrayal of any of the mane six. You can write her as the bumbling virgin if you pull it off well. You can make her think sex as something completely casual. A hidden ultra romantic. Very horny, too busy to care about sex. It all depends on how you write her on the innocence scale. Is she just a girl who 'acts' cool but really doesn't know everything she says she knows? Or has hanging around Gilda and simply her own life really made her a girl who has had plenty of sexual experience.

The Teal Deer of it is that if you are going to play her a virgin, you are going to have to write her moderately innocent overall to convince me. Tone down her punkness, aggression, sarcasm, and make her cuter, otherwise it doesn't feel right. Like a young teen. I can't see her drinking, or swearing, and then the author saying she's a total virgin and never kissed anyone. Did I confuse you more? I might have.

Ahh, but that babiedness is a wee too far for me, and the Abyss comes at it in the same manner. I see such a thing as a running joke to ebb Rainbow on until her more canine and playful side comes out, but to each his own. But let me entertain you with my thoughts, my friend, and a kink. Why? Because... I don't bucking know. Racecar.

I know a lot of ponies try to do Dom and Sub with Apple/Dash, but unless it involves rope it falls flat in the water. Twilight, and especially Rarity are the two who could dom Rainbow extremely well. Or simply play the rotational game.

Let's face it: Rarity and Twilight are psychological mind breakers. They both have the intellect, will, vocal tones, facial expressions, vocabulary, and capacity to dom. Hard. They don't need any physical threat or force at all. None. They can wurm into your head and mentally leash you - or Rainbow, although I'm also a willing subject - to them. Smack down Rainbow's ego, walls, sexual desires, cravings, and lusts. Every word can be a poison to Rainbow's sexual sanity. I could go on.

Rainbow Dash:
• Experienced: Masturbater
• Inexperienced: Lover

+1 Rep. Pretty much she can use any object/position/body part/movement possible that will make Rarity raise an eyebrow. "Hey, it'll make you cum. I promise."

We have no soul.

2880995 The babying thing seems a step too far to me as well.

2881529
2881590
I dunno guys,
I think Rainbow Dash would totally take any chance she'd get to be pampered lovingly by Rarity.
*cough cough* "Rarity I'm sick.. I'm too tired to fly home. I need to stay at your place tonight. Also I need some hot soup.. and a glass of water. And some tissues for my sniffles. A massage would be nice. And also.. if it's cool with you.. a hug?" *cough cough* "It would really make me feel better."

2881835 Well, in that sense, yeah, I can see it. I think I inferred something you didn't mean when I read your previous post.

2881835 Mmm. I must respectively disagree with you. Not that I can't see her being Bluebird Song romantic, but that kind of babying that doesn't end in a fart joke or her bursting out into tears laughing is too far for me.

2881849 I would say though that Rainbow is pretty much up to trying most fetishes though. Because it's Rainbow.

2881854
Oh please :ajsmug:
Rainbow Dash's a big wuss

Leave her alone in a tough situation and the tears start flowin'

She's not a rock like Applejack. Even if she sometimes wishes she was.
Luckily Rarity's there to comfort her

2881968 We'll meet at half wuss.

Not always, but you make a point :pinkiehappy:

Random topic as I do some final edits on my story.

Rarity and Rainbow, literacy and libraries. What do Rainbow and Rarity read?

We know in canon that Rainbow reads Daring Do. Duh. Am I the only person here who can see her being a secret dork and reading comic books like Spike does? "Uhh... t-t-that isn't Superstallion under my bed. W-w-what are you talking about?" I can see her getting into that kind of grand adventure books about beings with superpowers, considering she already borderline has some herself.

And maybe because I sometimes feel like I'm the only person who doesn't see her as a complete idiot I can see her reading sports and fitness magazines. I've never been one to picture her as 'lucking' into the amount of speed that she has. I thought maybe at first her black belt in season one was a joke, but considering she can Falcon Kick trees in season three I think it confirms she's in fact peak physical conditioning all around. I can see her collecting and reading magazines that focus on fitness training. As I can see her consuming protein bars, shakes, and supplements. It could be I'm bias, since I used to weight train. I would also find it funny she happens to have a passing knowledge in nutrition.

Rarity: It's pretty much canon she reads Hoofwood magazines, fashion catalogs, and romance novels. The former two are required for her love of culture and her trade, while the third is not only a cliche but it's also canon she's a massive fan of the literal knight in shining armor complex. However, follow me on this.

I think she reads classical plays. Of both Shakespeare and Greek.

Look and listen to her. Her speech can be extremely flowery, purple, and grandiose. She likes operas. Why is it so grand or hard to say she not only enjoys the philosophy of Shakespeare but the grandiose and emotionally vivid plays of Ancient Greece? They are about gods and mortals, love and tragedy. Struggle and destiny. It's right up her alley in both thought process, passion, and vocabulary. I can see her as a voracious consumer of both. On classical philosophy? No. Twilight could pretty much name every ancient school of thought on the top of her head. But Rarity could match her blow for blow on the struggles of the ancient gods and mortals and what temptations they suffered. She not only enjoys the modern soap opera, but I think truly, she would enjoy the larger than life struggles of a world gone by.

2969910 . Dash is shown to be a fan of Kirk-era Star Trek

Rarity of crime noir. I can see this.

I haven't read the later comics past issue 1-4, which I adored. Still good?

2970291 And there is a Frank Miller like Star Trek: Mass Effect. Or Stargate: Adlantis. Deep Space Nine even.
