Curly Q


E

Though once she craved nothing more than the glamor and sophistication associated with a pony of status that she is surely destined to be, Rarity nonetheless laments how little time left she has for the one thing she cherishes most of all in this world: her family, be they by blood or bond.

2739481 I second that.

The most insidious, yet effective chains, are the invisible ones.

Short simple and very well put if you ask me. :eeyup:

Excellent. We don't get enough good Rarity 'round these parts.

Well done, but then again, I don't think anypony wants Rarity to remain chained in this way.

it's one of the things about her character that always made me wonder: What would happen when she finally succeeds? Would she have the strength to realize her dream was nothing compared to the life she lived getting there? Or should she shroud herself in it, and let all the moments, the happiness she could have had with those she "loved" pass her by?

In the end, there is ALWAYS a choice, and it's difficult to make. But what I can't personally fathom, is why anypony can accept such chains, when they are hurting loved ones as well?

Hmmm, an interesting exploration, no?

Hmm. :applejackunsure:

This concept is interesting, but I don't think it works. Especially since it takes place after the events of Sweet and Elite. :unsuresweetie:

These chains of high society shouldn't have that firm of a hold on Rarity. Yes, she enjoys the recognition of the Canterlot elite, but her friends are important to her, too. In fact, they're more important than the Canterlot elite. That's why she stood up for them when they ruined the Garden Party. So why is she too busy for them all of a sudden? At the very least, she could make a schedule for herself and set aside some time for her friends. But, then we wouldn't have a story, would we? :trixieshiftright:

Also, I feel that you're vilifying Fancy Pants unnecessarily. It was very clear by the reactions from the other ponies that his comment about Rarity's friends being "charmingly rustic" was meant to be a compliment. Twisting the meaning of the words into an insult (and a confusing one, at that :applejackconfused: ) doesn't really reflect his character. :facehoof:

Overall, it's well constructed, but when you get right down to it, Rarity shouldn't have this dilemma on her hooves. Unless, of course, you were to go with the idea presented by 2741086 here. :duck:

It is so sad! Well written and believable. Nice job over all.

Short and simple! I simply love it.:raritystarry:

That was so very wonderful. It was sad, sweet, and caused me to stop and think once or twice. I loved it :pinkiehappy:

I'd ask you to make a continuation of this I the form of an actual story but I fear that would milk the subject.
