I write imaginary stories about cartoon horses.

A sense of rejection and betrayal has caused Rarity to have the worst case of designer's block ever. It also caused her to lose confidence in herself. Maybe a few words from her best friends and little sister might be all takes to get her out of it.

And I may not understand all that much about high class society or fashion, but you shouldn’t let what that Auriola filly did get to you. Ponies like her do anything they want without considering the feelings of others, and it’s always going to be that way.

...Really? It's not like she can wear multiple dresses at once. If she has more than one, of course she's going to make a choice, and of course some dress isn't going to get worn. If she had picked Rarity's, someone else wouldn't get theirs shown off. That doesn't make the dresswearer heartless. I mean, yeah, it's a shame for Rarity, but that's like entering a very professional contest and then calling the judge inconsiderate of your feelings if you don't win. I can see Rarity's friends being biased and trying to cheer her up, but Applejack is all about fairness, you know? She just doesn't seem like the type of pony to do that.

Still a good story, though. Inspiration loss is definitely a topic worth writing about.

8046198 Thanks for the critique. I was writing from a personal level, so you may want to take what Applejack said with a grain of salt, although I do understand you have problems with her words. My goal wasn't to make Auriola a bad pony (at least I hope I made that clear), since we don't know much about her. It's less of a condemnation of Auriola and more of attempt to build inner turmoil in Rarity, her sense of rejection, and to explore the cause of her loss of inspiration. This is mostly a story told from Rarity's point of view.

I'm glad you liked the story.
