Rarity returns to Ponyville a broken mess of a mare. Her snotty Canterlot fashion friends have informed her that white is unfashionable to wear after the end of summer! Weeping, she recounts her sad tale to the unsympathetic Cranky Doodle Donkey, who makes an offhanded comment that kicks her fashion mania into top speed: what if she simply dyes all of her white clothes so they're fashionable again?
Even better, Rarity decides, what if she dyes all of the white ponies so they're fashionable, too?
Follow Rarity as she leaves a trail of colorful mayhem behind her, and see if her friends can talk her down from the sequined ledge of madness she's teetering on!
Written for Jes for Hearthswriting! Many thanks to my friend M for the preread!
The prompt was “Rarity gets caught up in a “No White After Summer’s End” trend to the point she starts trying to change everything white including pony’s manes and fur without them noticing."
Oh my goooooooooooood.
There are so many hilarious parts to this I don't even know where to begin. You've seen me quote a few on Discord already. I just... this is just... good grief.
I was going to say my favorite part was Rarity "committing suicide" right up until the real enemy was capitalism. Which it is.
Rarity has a point re Twilight not being a part of the proletariat though.
Fantastic work Apple Bottoms. You rock it.

LMAO, I'm so glad you enjoyed this!! I had some good laughs writing it too! Thank you for reading and all your sweet comments!
Have a like and a favorite!
This needs a comedy tag.
This site needs more Crazy Rarity. Maybe some Crazy Fluttershy as well.

I have no clue why I didn't include that in the first place; it's clearly a comedy! I've added the tag now, thanks for the reminder!

You're right!!

You're welcome. :)

Your welcome!
OH. MY. GODS.
I love it. This was SO amazingly well done; your crazy Rarity is SO spot on for what I had in my mind when I wrote the prompt... and you even got more out of it than I was expecting, seeing that while I did note Rarity herself was white, I somehow entirely forgot Celestia...
And that ending!! That was so brilliant! I wasn't expecting that at all, but it's perfect!!
I need to write more "[Mane 6] becomes obsessed with [x] and goes overboard" prompts and see what people do with them, clearly! ;)
AhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhh thank you so much!!!!!!!
i love and hate being American so much sometimes
rarity's melodrama was hilariously overloaded in this fic
Out of context this is even more hilarious.
