Cool.

This is one of the few comedy stories I’ve read on here recently that had me actually laughing out loud in parts.  

“Well,” Rarity said, pushing her sunglasses onto her muzzle. “I suppose I don't see why not.”

“yyyyYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAaaaahhh!”  Pinkie Pie’s excited squealing became familiar with the Doppler effect as she rolled past the library on something with small squeaky wheels.

...

...

okay, so, fun concept.

I think you could have done better with this chapter though. It seems unlikely that Rarity would fail to notice her vision fading like that. I understand you were trying to make it a slow process, but really, I think she would have noticed at some point after giving them a 100-bit coin, but before arriving at home and not realizing she was there, that her vision was going.

So...I'm going to just try to forget about that and enjoy the rest of the story.

Excellent, well-written story. EqD worthy, I believe!

Great story! With the exception of the whole lesbian subplot, I could totally see this being it's own episode!

...So, was this whole story just a front for making a bunch of RariTwi innuendos? Cause those were the best parts. Hands down.  And honestly, the idea that Rarity would be that worried about someone finding out she'd temporarily lost her sight is a bit of a stretch.

Also, what >>12993601299360 said.

...not bad. not bad at all.

I think I'll give you a thumbs up.

>>13000501300050

Are you joking?!

That was the best part!

Fantastic. A new personal favorite.

>>13004301300430 Oh I'm not saying it's bad. Actually I agree that it was frakking hilarious.  Just saying that Americans are such prudes that that part wouldn't make airtime.  

>>13005661300566

Oops, my bad. I thought that comma was a period.

>>12993601299360    I knew I wanted to do a terrible sunglasses--yeaah! joke from the moment I started this.

>>12993801299380  She didn't fail to notice her blindness.  She was just in denial until she was alone enough to freak out about it.

>>13000501300050  I dunno.  Even without any fillyfooling, the premise itself would be difficult to pull off in a visual medium.  They would either have to make the entire episode all dark and blurry, which would make everyone's head hurt, or have it be from outside of Rarity's perspective, which would completely change the whole idea of the story.

>>13003231300323  RariTwi is fun to shiptease, I find.  I enjoy writing banter between them.  This isn't the first fic of mine that has relied heavily on this fact.

>>13005181300518  Glad to hear it!

YES.

JUST YES.

Well Job done! What a shame, this excelent story is so unknown. Great character acting and a really nice own mlp epsiode (ok, rated teen episode. i'm ok with that. ).

It is a real pleasure to read this story!

5 senses are for ponies that aren't as fabulous as Rarity. Creating visual masterpieces through a format that requires a great deal of very precise physical activity may require vision for OTHER ponies, but for Rarity all it takes is a pattern and some kind of crazy deal with the Random Number Gods to exchange a ton of tiny misfortunes for one large success practically falling in her lap.

Now if you'll excuse me, someone asked for my help "making a dress." Not sure how they managed to pronounce the quotation marks, or why, but I'm sure it's urgent.

>>20405092040509 Make sure to wear a thimble, darling!

The lack of mentioning your friends can be morons is tactful XD also I feel like there needs to be some AJ apologising for feeling guilty that it's her apples that made rarity blind but cute nevertheless.

>>12993601299360

Well now I have to read this.

>>12993801299380

I interpreted it as her 'acting natural'. I assume she found out that her vision had gone after the cucumbers were removed, but kept her cool so that no pony would suspect that she couldn't see. As she explained:

If word starts spreading around the industry that I can't see, my fashion designs will be worthless! Who would want to wear something designed by somepony who can't even see?

...The dress is going to be green checkered, isn't it?

This was wonderful. I loved the humor infused with the obstacle of a lack of sight, the complete misunderstanding with her friends, and how everyone seemed to like the watermelon dress over the blue and yellow one. Nice fic! You get a fave from me!

>>22261792226179 This was what I was going for. That I failed to convey it to a lot of readers is my failing, not theirs.

I'm glad you liked the story! Writing for a blind character was a real challenge, and some aspects of the story may have suffered a little from the constraint, but it was fun to write, regardless, and I hope to write around another sensory handicap sometime.

Excellent! I think I like Rarity because she is the polar opposite of me, or at least my complement number in the imaginary plane. I think it's hard to write her so that her flaws don't make her annoying, but rather adorable. You pulled that off well. I'd love to see you really ship off Twirity!

>>25065352506535 I sure do like to ship-tease the pairing, don't I?

Once I get around to writing it, the sequel to my story Stubborn as Ponies is going to focus on a genuine Raritwi/Twirity/Gosh-as-much-as-I-love-this-ship-there-really-isn't-a-good-way-to-portmanteau-it. But I do have a few stories queued up before it, so it may be a little while.

I enjoy writing Rarity a lot, she's a very fun character with a lot of depth. I'm glad you like my portrayal of her.
