72 inch television that gazed silently back at her

There are no televisions in equestria. And non advanced electricity.

4962044 Tell that to the show and the comics buddy. =/
They even have indoor plumbing!

The room was full of expensive gifts, designer toys and t he finest of luxury items,

Cut the space between the t and he.

I would love to see this expanded, but as is it's still enjoyable.

...It's fanfiction. Does having a TV in it really ruin your experience. Besides, arcade machines are canon to the show, and last I checked the TV was invented before the arcade machine, so is it really so far fetched that a TV exists in a fanfic?

I guess I have to do my Derpy scale. It is a scale of :facehoof::flutterrage::raritycry::pinkiegasp::rainbowderp::ajbemused::pinkiehappy::pinkiecrazy::moustache::derpytongue2: This is about a :pinkiecrazy:(8) It is kind of confusing about what is going on, but it does make sense. I would say this is very realist and is worthy of my like.

Peanut-butter FUDGE cookies? Talk about heaven~ :heart:

Then reality sets in. Time ticks by. And Diamond is reminded of just how far from heaven she really is.

That was sad. Sadder still having met and known people who do exactly that to their children on a near daily/weekly basis. And not to mention all those parents who just dump a game system or PC to their children and let them waste away for days on end without barely much interactions outside of the bare minimum.

Bit depressing. But that's the world we live in.

'A horse, blood curling scream'.... FUNNY TYPO ALERT.

4962140 horse curling sounds fun. But that quote there made me picture an actual horse do a Samus Aran Morph Ball and... well, the rest can be left to the imagination!

"blood-curdling" btw author.

4962120 This story should be a alternet universe. Television and not in equestria for lots of reasons. And to all of whom think there are, your wrong!

4962163 Don't forget about the two for one sale... HORSE should be HOARSE. Still, nice try. And as for your suggestion for the sport... I'M IN!! We can call it... BUCK THE PUCK!! Ingenious...

4962168 "you're wrong"
Sorry, but Hasbro approves what is and isn't canon, and Rainbow Dash's micro alone proves they have some form of way to televise broadcasts.

Ponies playing at the arcades in Hearts and Hooves Day alone, along with having a HOSPITAL with heart monitors and...

Manehattan. Enough said really. Neon lights? Lamps? They aren't using torches. :P

But I'm a fan of "Accept the canons you want and write what you will." So don't take it too personally, no one's going to tell you not to believe in what you don't want to believe in.

But no, this story does not require or need an Alternate Universe tag until something on the show disproves it.

4962177 You know, I actually thought the "horse" part was an intended pun.
Geez, I need to normalize myself with NON-PONY fictions! xD

Bad enough I use buck in real life instead of, well, THAT word!

Good story-- an enjoyable read-- but it really was too short. So much can be expanded upon that wasn't: the story felt like a bit of a rush job. A good one, but a rush job all the same.

4962188 but there would certainly no be a 70 inch tv.

I was going to say just because you selectively decided to forget those parts of the show, doesn't mean they aren't there. Are they throw away jokes? Yes. Is the T.V. a huge part of the story? No. Does it get across the message that Diamond is rich? Yes. Does it help shape the scope of the story? Yes.

But Agentporpoise has my favorite response

4962177

See, Now I'm not going to fix it, because that's rather funny. :raritywink:
AndI'mgoingtopretendthatpunwasintentional

hi hi

There are some who think that wealth can be counted with how much one has, but there are others who claim that wealth is found in how little one needs. A distinction that is, perhaps, appropriate in Diamond Tiara's case here.

Girl Scout cookies- Peanut Butter fudge- her favorite! She popped one of the delicious disc of decadent delight into her mouth and shuddered at the taste that rippled into her body. It was like magic.

Even if you move to another universe, Girl Scouts will still show up at your door.
Also, cookies are magic, and friendship is magic, so friendship is cookies!

Expensive fabrics and costume dresses, designer gloves and chic sleek boots

Gloves? Since when do ponies wear gloves?

This was a good fic though.
Overall: 2317/2563

Well, I suppose one might consider them socks, but that just doesn't flow quite as nicely as gloves.

4963256 What episode is the middle image from?

A horse, blood curdling scream that sputtered bits of spittle from her lips and a wheeze past her throat.
-I don't think you intended to get punny in this case so you probably want "hoarse".

5979005 Actually, that WAS a pun. n.n

5979078
Not sure it fits the mood, but fair enough...

5229328 THEY SO TOTALLY DID!! :D

7000693 Err, Not so much a year. This season was the CMC episode where they revealed Diamond's mother being abusive.

Interesting how you near perfect predicted Spoiled Rich's personality, a year before we saw it in canon... :raritywink:
