Nonchalant


Who the hell is General Failure, and why is he trying to read my disk?

E

Even the best athletes have hobbies, and the best hobbies are the ones you share with friends. The question is, which friends? These are the things Rainbow Dash ponders as she makes her way towards a choice that could irrevocably change her life, for better or for worse.

A gift for the lovely fourths and associated parties.

Ooh! This is exciting and I love the concept you gleaned from digif's pic, and I like where you're going with it, too. :3

Prose-wise, there's a few grammar issues and stuffies and, if you like, I'd totally be willing to help edit/proofread ^_^
But really, I just wanna see where you go with this.

7448347 proofreading help is appreciated.

it's great! (why can't I upvote it?)

you did a story for my picture, now I'll do a picture for every chapter of this story.

7449325 Can't upvote it? The number of upvotes only shows after ten or so people have expressed like/dislike. So your vote does matter, despite me being alone to see it.

And thanks for the picture thing. I'll see about giving you early proofreading access so I can link those in the notes.

I was expecting this to be just a one shot when i heard it being written, I'm glad to see that it might evolve into a longer story.

I'll echo Fourths in saying that this is an exciting concept you've got going here Nonchalant, and I look forward to seeing where you take it.

It was the Wonderbolts! It's not my fault their uniforms were awesome, and might have made me want to learn about that stuff!

This was the only part that I raised a little bit of a skeptical eyebrow to. Don't get me wrong, the idea to connect Dash's interest in fashion to the Wonderbolts was brilliant. The issue I see is that the uniforms themselves are not exactly examples of fashion, they're examples of practicality and thus not exactly enough (in my opinion) to lead Dash down the idea of creating frilly dresses. Maybe aerodynamic outfits for Pegasi, but not quite feminine attire.

7449835 Noted, will elaborate in further chapters. {This is why I should get prereaders}

Of course you would blame her.

7492112 well it's her fault this was made.

7493183 ya didn't have to humor her, that vile chica.

7493194 you know how inspiration goes. That said, you're making sense. Sadly there are no gifs for other blaming.

7493214 Could make one if ya know how.

7493348

if ya know how.

That's the problem.

Eagerly awaiting the next chapter of this neat fic, I hope it will continue.

7615623 It'll continue. Over the next few weeks I hope to have the time to get the next chapter finished. Coming up: Fashion! Drama! Small talk!

This is a nice surprise to see! Glad to see this is still alive!

7781007 The third bit should be out quicker... in theory.

7781512 well however long it takes I look forward to seeing more of this!

Don't stress over it tho.

can't wait to see who this mysterious photograph is !

Decent explanation for how Rainbow got into enjoying fashion. It does seem surprisingly quick that she'd jump at the chance to be a model though, given her concerns about her image and being found out. I'd have figured she'd have modeled for Rarity in private a few times first before jumping before a more public setting (even if it's a private shoot with another pony).

I hope this shoot will go well for her, her confidence is pretty fragile right now and too big a mess up could be pretty detrimental to her embracing this side of herself.

Indeed! Very nice to see the story continue.

7848045 dude... ya gotta stop giving me things to justify in the next chapter. Or don't, it's actually pretty fun. Either way, we shall see... sometime.

I'm all for some good ol' fourths blamin' and raridash! I'm enjoying the juxtaposition of Rainbow's cool-image with, you know, fashion ... I realize this is a setup for ship fodder, but even so, it is disturbingly easy to accept a headcanon of secretly-fashionable Rainbow Dash, so this is good stuff (c.f. "Read it and Weep"). Re modeling, Rarity does have a point on self-confidence... for better or for worse :raritywink:. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes and for your future fics, Nonchalant!
