Writing Prompt!

As some of you may know, I used to help moderate an MLP writing prompt blog called Thirty Minute Pony Stories. Though that blog has now shut its doors, Esle-Ynopemos has carried on the grand Thirty Minute Pony Stories tradition here at Fimfiction.net. (And has been doing a bang-up job, too, may I add.) As Esle is but one pony fanficcer, versus an

Soooooo, How 'Bout That SunLight, Huh?

Truly, I am a prophet among shippers. I was mocked for my adoration of SunLight after the first EG movie, but everyone's singing a different tune now, aren't they? AREN'T THEY?
Also, this is the biannual reminder/reassurance that I am not dead. In case that was something you were wondering about.
Happy almost 2015, y'all. :)

Love Songs in the Key of FiM: The Complete Album

Since the album’s finally complete, I thought I’d do a master post for it. One of the most interesting parts of the experience has been that, in reviewing the songs, I think my singing improved more than my guitar-playing did. I hadn’t expected that at all—if anything, I thought the reverse would be true.

An important question about "The Art of the Dress" · 4:48pm Jan 10th, 2012

So in the song "The Art of the Dress," from the amazing "Suited for Success" episode (a.k.a., Rarity Has The Best Melt-Down Ever, All Because Of Her Ingrate Friends), Rarity sings about making dresses for each of her pals. At one part, she sings:

Even though it rides high on the flank
Rainbow won't look like a tank
I'm stitching Rainbow's dress.

Now, as far as I can tell, there are two possible interpretations of these lines. The first interpretation is that Rarity means "even though the dress rides high, the dress won't make Rainbow look like a tank." The second, and I believe the far funnier interpretation, is that Rarity means "the dress won't make Rainbow look like a tank, which is how she usually looks." But the more I think about it, the more I think the first interpretation is the one that's actually correct.

Which bums me out a bit, because I laugh my butt off every time that line comes up in the song, because I love the idea of Rarity calling Rainbow a tank. Because of course, Rainbow IS a tank, and of course Rarity would HATE that about her.

So, whaddaya think? Do you read those line to mean the first or second interpretation? Or something else that I've missed entirely?
