I'm a fairly skilled hermetic wizard, and I could teach you the esoteric arts, if you can prove that you are worthy of my instruction.

Rarity Belle has been described as many things by many ponies. Some say she is the most beautiful mare to ever live, some say her fashion sense is top notch, some think she is a bit of a drama queen, and some just want to see her mosh.

Rarity Belle may be many things, and a metalhead is most certainly one of them.


Inspired by a silly scene in S7Ep9. I promptly took a screencap and made it the cover art.

I'm not sorry.

EDIT: Due to me being a (man)whore, I'm making a second chapter/epilogue/new-part/something. Brace yourselves for even more metal. Changed my mind, sorry.

This, actually makes perfect sense to me, nice fic.

8181666 Thanks man.

I feel like this needs some music... Maybe some metal Queen? Some Metallica?

Surprisingly, it only took thirty seconds before a certain pegasus with a rainbow mane to shed all tact and ask what the hay was that noise earlier?

It actually took a whole thirty seconds, that must be an academy record for Rainbow Dash, pfff.

Good fic, you edgy little pony. Honestly, I should have expected something like this considering how much you like metal :trixieshiftleft:

Metal isn't just noise, it's a way of life. Other kinds of music have harsh rules and strict techniques... Metal is different, it's free... you just follow what feels right. It's freedom of expression...

Are you sure you're not talking about rap?

On a serious note, you should pay more attention to the tense you use.

"What is it darling?" Rarity turned to Rainbow Dash.
"You know Tirek Preacher… You actually are friends with Tirek Preacher…" Rainbow inhales sharply.

See what I mean? You either use the past tense or the present, but you have to use the same for the entire length of storytelling.

Also, I recognized the symptoms of LUV in the first scene, but maybe you did that on purpose so it's no big deal.

8181929 Rap doesn't have any real 'skill' or 'technique' like metal does. Anybody can rap with practice, but not everyone can be a metal singer/guitarist/drummer/bassist.

Also, that was a typo, I meant to hit the D key...

8181941 I'm afraid our tastes in music are different, then.

LONG LIVE METAL!!! \m/

I've got a feeling that this is what Rarity would make with Rainbow Dash.

(Vocal version)

"It was the sound of metal."

YES! Just... YES!

And yes, it was a great story to read. I personally was surprised by that moment in the episode, yet even more was I impressed by it. None would expect Rarity, of all ponies, to give such a fantastic guitar solo in the best traditions of Heavy Metal! I also want to thank you for writing this story. Despite a few grammar mistakes, it was really interesting. It's short, simple and enjoyable to read. Plus, it's 100% canon-friendly at this point.

In fact, I had written the story about the very same episode and in the same manner. However, I have no idea why it hasn't become popular. Most likely because I had chosen a wrong time to post it... But what can I say? Russia. Timezones. :ajbemused:

Feel free to take a look at it if you want. Here it is, :twilightsmile:

P.S. Have my like and fav. And keep up the good work! :ajsmug:

This was awesome!:rainbowlaugh:.... little disappointed that the headbangers intro to metal line wasn't used though. :trixieshiftleft:

8183713 What is there to ship exactly? :trollestia:

8183766 Buck Hayford and Rarity, of course :raritywink:

8183771 I didn't intend it to be that way, I felt it more like a groupie/musician relationship than anything.

8183828 That's fine. It's the job of the fans to take a popcorn kernel and run off to plant a field with it. :pinkiecrazy:

8183834 Is that a joke about 'sowing oats'? Or about word-of-mouth advertising?

8183843 More of poking fun at the fandom for taking the tiniest thing (like Lyra sitting on a bench next to Bon Bon) and practically creating a whole mythology surrounding it.

8183847 Ah, the elephant in the fandom it is then. Anyways, Buck Hayford is totally flaming gay, just like the person he's based on.

This was fun. I really liked the pony-fied band names btw. I love metal music so when I saw Rarity shredding in that episode I was like "OMG Rarity is a metal head!" I like Rarity more now than I did in the past.

I love that we all have decided that Rarity is a metalhead. It is a wonderful thing, the spirit of which I wholeheartedly support.

Stay metal, daaaaahling \m/
