My name is Rarity Filigree, daughter of Magnum and Euphoria Filigree. My sister is Sweetie Belle Filigree. I am a fashion designer and owner of Carousel Boutique, where everything is chic, unique, and magnifique. I am the Element of Generosity and good friend to those who call me theirs. I grew up in Ponyville and have had many adventures of love, loss, and triumph.
This has not always been the case. I was not always the mare who is sitting here, writing this prose that will likely never be read by anyone save for those whom I trust the most in my life. However, as I grow older, and with the events of Discord's return so fresh in my mind, I am reminded of how easy it is to lose the memories most important to oneself. So please, before you judge me too harshly, listen to my story.
Inspired by this thing I was shown over on derpibooru.
Goodness, this is very VERY interesting. I don't believe I've ever read anything quite like it before... I'm definitely going to keep following this excellent premise - from setting to structure, this is just too strange and too cool not to like!
Obviously there's more to come, so I'm quite alight with anticipation!
Well done, and thank you for an intriguing read!
This is different. Different is good. Do go on.
Oh, I am such a stickler for alternate character interpretation. You have my attention. Do go on.
The openning needs to be longer. But, I want to see what you do with it.
*looks at "this thing"...*
)
*reads the first chapter*
Oh, Luna.... It makes sense!...
Ooooh I gotta see where this is going!
(I also find it surprising that between "that thing" and "Anthropology", I'm not the only one to suppose "What if it's not an obsession, what if she WAS human.... I'm already half done with a chapter in my main pony tale where Scott and Lyra have a little chat about Earth...
I must now dive into a game where I will try to find evidence of past humanity in EVERYpony....
Interesting. I'll keep track of this
Interesting.... do go on.
Managed to sneak in a comment before Regidar . . .
As for the fic so far *whispers into your ear*
whisper whisper whisper
Very interesting story...and I love it!
I think that there is a good bit more that you could write with this idea, more places you could go, but- If this is the end, then I will give you my finishing applause. Take a bow, you deserve it.
Well... I don't really like this story, but Rarity as a human is entirely too believable, and entirely too underused. Good concept, but utterly bizarre execution. We need to get more people to do this. I can see it now. 'Human-ity'. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.
0.0 Celestia not speaking to god? reminds me of a reference. God: I can create landscapes! Notch: So can I. God: I can create animals! Notch: So can I.
God: I can create circles! *Notch has left the game*
I haven't read this yet, but I was hoping that someone would write a fic based on that picture.
I give this story non-planetward thumb.
Tamara processed the information briefly, "Are you... God?"
The woman shook her head, "No, I am not. He and I aren't necessarily on speaking terms right now, given his treatment of your world. No, my name is Celestia, and I am here to offer you a great opportunity."
I fucking, love you for that one. All my bonbons!

Hm, will there be more?
Wow it sounded like there was more but it wasn't. Oh well.
Short and sweet, I liked it. Though I think it would have worked better if it was just 1 chapter.
1721086 I finally read this. It's pretty good, bittersweet, but I enjoyed it.
1718696 But God doesn't exist...
Really good, if a bit short. That and Tamara is FAR too quickly accepting of her own death. She should be deliberating and/or haggling at least a little.
1664060 You could also have a dash of spice put into it and have said past human rarity have a lover that also got turned into a pony... which I would shamelessly proclaim to be rainbow dash.
RariDash go...
Interesting concept, but the execution feels kind of dull.
This is definitely an interesting concept, the idea that her, seemingly Pinkie, and perhaps several of them, are actually reincarnated humans, selected for specific traits, but seeing as you didn't go anywhere with it, there really isn't that much being done with it. I think this could be a good story if maybe it tried to explain how Celestia pulled this off, what exactly this could change, or maybe having them go through the Equestria Girls mirror at some point to figure out what happened to their families, perhaps connect with someone from a past life. All that might be pretty interesting.
As it stands though, all this is is a concept, and the introduction to what could have been a really neat story if you wanted to continue it.
(Granted, I'm noticing this is from 10 years ago, so I'm guessing it won't be continued)
