Oh hello there! I guess you already know I am Twilight Sparkle! I have heard a lot about you! you have done as much as three hundred people these following days, and I wish to bestow upon you a personal gift of gratitude! a personal meeting with one of our kind!
a book of stories where you the reader are hanging out with a pony of your choice.
written in ASMR format, its my first ones so apologies if its a little rough
Oh hey there! I have been expecting you! I'm Starlight Glimmer, please why don't you enter my home? After you.
***
Ahhh welcome to my home! Such as it is. Its a bit messyyyyy ok I'm sorry... I Literally got this house not to long ago, and this is the first time ever setting hoof in it!
***
don't worry? My house is a wreck and you say don't worry?
***
its just cause I'm a pony who doesn't have much money... But don't feel bad for it or anything its not like you can cough up lots of bits right?
***
you want to help me clean my house? That's a weird request normally ponies just hang out by playing games or nasty gossip or friendship problems, which is something I am very familiar with so we would have loads in common! Or do you just want to talk?
***
wow you really want to clean my house don't you? Well i suppose I CAN say no, but who knows. It might build our friendship with each other? What do you think? Ok here are the rules, we are not allowed to go into the kitchen until we clean this room. And this is the bathroom. You want to start here? Ok here we go.
***
I guess cleaning will be good for our friendship! And maybe make us closer. OH LOOK A SPIDER! AH! Oop! That was a little bit close! Please try not to fling spiders around, they give me the heebee geebees!
***
Wow the bathroom is starting to look really nice, I didn't even know you could clean that well! Thank you! Huh? You going to do the toilet too? Eww! Yeah, maybe I'LL do the toilet.
***
Oh look at that, you cleaned all the way to the ceiling! Its looking a lot better now! Wow! You did a great job! Thanks! Oh wait, I forgot about the floor! Let's get to work on it then! Okay, lets start from the top and work our way down. Starting at the left side and moving towards the door. How does that sound?
***
Whew! Alredy im starting to get a little winded... Ok I'm done with the toilet, I'm heading for the sink. You still doing the tub? Wow you got it shinny! Wow! You're pretty fast! Yeah! Wow! You're really good at cleaning! Thanks! You done yet? I'm almost done!
***
Ahhh there we are! And to think this bathroom looked ugly when we walked in. You did an amazing job! The only thing that bothers me is we got ten more rooms to clean just like this one. But that's okey! We got each other and we have a pretty bathroom to look back on. Haha. You ready to move to the next room? Sure! Ok, lets head over to the bedroom.
***
Wow what a nice room, its so big and nice and comfy looking. I guess it'll be ok staying here. It looks like its been here for a long time. I... I don't think I deserve a house of my own honestly. I mean... I have helped ponies in need in the past and even helped run some of them into the ground. And that is what worries me. Im afraid my past will judge my future.
***
but only my present matters? Is that what you said? Wow you sounded like Twilight just then. Is she your sister? Or like a cousin or something? Haha I'm joking of course, Im sure your pretty good if your helping out other ponies who need help, that's really brave of you.
...dont worry about your past or future, hmm that's pretty good! ...you're right its okey not to worry about it right now. Lets go ahead and move into my bedroom now.
***
wow this room looks pretty packed in here! Oh man if I got this much stuff...
*GASP* Oh look at this! First addition of the game lava pit! You wanna play real quick? It'll only take a minute or two. Common lets have one game before we continue. So lets go over here by this table.
***
This game is fun, its a board game that you have to climb the mountain with out causing any traps that the other player tries to put on you. So basically its a race against time and each other. And seeing as we are both pretty fast and good at puzzles, I think we should win this race easily enough.
***
oh yeah this game is really fun! My brother and I played it all the time when we were foals. It was one of his favorite games growing up so i think its safe to say he still plays it when he doesn't have any ponies around him. Here's the one dice. Ok now we roll to see who goes first... Oh wait why don't we both start off in turn order instead?! What do you think?
***
Yeah I'll go first so you know what to expect on your turn ok?
***
I roll a six... Ohh, not good. See the goal of the game is to try to reach to the top first, but if you get a six, the game punishes you for being too quick. I have to draw a chance card after my turn... So I Move... Six... And draw a card which says... "You tripped lose a turn" not the best thing in the world, but not the worst thing either. Ok your turn roll the dice!
***
ooh you rolled a one... You add two stamina tokens if you roll a one. If collect enough stamina tokens you can ignore traps all together. Traps are dangerous if you fall in one, you have to start at the beginning.
***
What happens if you get through all of them without getting any traps on yourself? I don't know i never seen it happen before.
Anyway your turn again! roll a single die... Three! Yay no traps no bad luck just normal luck! Adding one stamina Tolkein.... So now choose which way you want to go... south or east... I think east is better because south has more traps but is faster... you want to go fast? alright Good luck!
my turn, Ohhh a five! lucky square. add one stamina plus three more stamina. only one more untill I can bypass a trap.
your turn, ooh a six? you have to draw a chance card at the end of your turn... What did you get? "Marked trail. Go forward 2 spaces." lucky your halfway there now! But i have a few tricks up my sleave.
A four... Oh man Im slowing down now... Oh i landed on a misfortune square drawing a card... Okay it says "flash flood overtakes you. Roll again and go backwards if you roll a six a chance card does not apply... "Oh no i got to roll again! Oh no oh no i rolled three i only progressed one square. Ahhh man... Ok your turn.
***
Hmm? My cutie mark what about it? Its glowing? Oh great just when you were winning i got to report to the castle to address a friendship problem... Well great job! You won! I forfeit. We should really play again sometime! Hey before you go out again i want to thank you for all the help you gave me, i defiantly would have not even started with just my self... I guess i work better with others. So thank you so much for everything.
***
Hmm? You want a hug? Hmmm sure lets hug ! MMM. Good work today. Ill make sure ill tell twilight all about it.
***
wow that was really fun today and its always nice when we can spend time together like this, let's do it next week too okay? After you! Oh wait that's right your probably heading to the castle too. I guess we can walk together.
***
wow its getting dark out already how did that happen so fast?! Its like magic or something huh? hey random question, do you like the snow?
*** yep I love snow its so pretty and sparkly and fluffy and cold and stuff its just wonderful . Snow ponies are fun to build snowmen with in the winter though. We usually just dig a hole in the snow and then pile a bunch of snow on top of it and then use rocks and sticks to make eyes and a mouth and a nose. Have you ever wondered why we make something that never lasts? Its a mystery to me.
***
hmm i don't know! Okay here's a thought i just had, you can stay at my place, or you can stay at the castle, what do you think?
***
Haha i guess you're right. You can stay at my house but only if you promise to keep the house clean and tidy and not to mess with any of my stuff. Okay fine. Well then i guess this is where we part ways, here is my keys feel free to keep on cleaning without me and ill see you later mmmk?
***
yes I look forward to spending more time with you as well... I look forward to it actually... Hey just remember, I did more work then you! Haha see you later!
Fluttershy was in the middle of cleaning her small animal pet house when she heard the knock.. Fluttershy quickly went to open the door. When she opened the door she saw you staring at her, she got embarrassed and looked down, she blushed.. H-hello..?
***
Twilight Sparkle sent you?. Y-Yes that is correct today is.. A free day for me.
***
Y-yes! I see, then come on in let me introduce myself...
*door close*
Im.... Im.... Im Fluttershy, w- would you like to m-meet my animals?
***
This way. *** Look at these beauties! They're mini ponies!, They're very.. Delicate.. They're a very rare species.. And i'm taking care of them while.. While their mother is not feeling well.. They're the cutest huh?..
*** Very rare! It was very hard for me to even find them!.. I was in the countryside looking for the right plants and flowers i needed for my animal friends, when i saw these little guys in the tree, and i got so excited that i jumped to a nearby branch.. And fell down from shock.. Hehe… i was fine though!.. They’re.. So adorable! *** They are realty called: "Mifoals", which is a shortened version of the word microfoals, because of how small they are..
They are the same as us ponies except they are much smaller… they do look similar to ponies and are very playful and energetic.. They're so cute!.. I even got a special miniature saddle for them!..
Oh and also! I made them miniature sweaters! So they all can match!
***
A question about saddles? Why then when there are no humans living here in ponyville?
Well.. Um!.. Saddles were made for easier travel.. \ the tradition continued even though ponies started to live.. In.. Towns like the one we live in..
And the other reason is that ponies do love making things for themselves, like.. Art and.. Music, and also.. Clothing.. Hehe~ *** Who rides the saddles then?
Oh!, well.. Ponies do! But only during riding classes though.. Which helps ponies learn about riding proper safety and how to care for their ponies..
But! If ponies like riding so much, it may become a hobby for them.. And they spend a lot of time riding their ponies! It's very fun, you get to see the outside world and relax and it makes you feel free!..
Oh sorry.. Did i get carried away?.. *** Hehe!. I knew you were going to ask that question!..
Yes, ponies do ride other ponies, it's how ponies transport themselves and their cargo, in fact!, it's an important skill to have!..
Riding a pony is a huge responsibility however, you need to know that ponies have needs too! So riding should always be on the best interest of every pony involved..
It's not about the destination, it's about.. The journey!.. *** Do we take turns?
Of course! Ponies should take turns with who gets to carry who!...
Oh it is a lot of work, but ponies are also very strong and powerful! But ponies also have.. Boundaries and.. Limits! And some ponies prefer walking! So.. Ponies shouldn't force other ponies to take a ride on them! Always remember, ponies care about other ponies.. *** What do you mean that very weird? I mean.. It's very fun! But.. Riding for example with a pony you like! Like.. Uh.. A crush.. Is very.. Scary! Oh my!.. I get all.. Warm inside whenever I'm.. Near him!.. And also.. Nervous!.. Very nervous!.. I get really.. Embarrassed.. Hehe~ *** Yes! I do have a crush ... And it's very weird!... My heart starts.. Pounding and my entire body begins to get.. Warm.. And my hooves become weak.. And whenever i look at him my face turns.. Purple.. Hehe~ and I blush!. And I.. Start acting.. Very goofy.. And say silly things!.. And sometimes.. I even start singing!
***
..yes! I-i know it sounds bizarre! But when i.. Do i feel.. Like i'm getting transported into a whole other.. Dimension! The songs i sing are.. All about love.. And caring.. About someone.. Oh my!.. It feels so great!... *** Well usually no,i don't share this publicly... Because I've actually love myself!..
The real me is someone who loves animals.. Is kind.. Is a gentle soul.. Cares for other ponies.. She's someone who just.. Loves!...
I... I refuse to hide my authentic.. Kind.. And beautiful self!...
***
Fluttershy giggles.. Hehe!.. You think that's just Candence's job? Oh princess cadence is.. Much higher than me!.. She is a princess!... She is the ruler of.. Crystal empire..
Oh!..
But!..
She's very kind!.. She is also.. The one who taught me how to love myself!.. Princess cadence is.. Amazing!.. But, i can be amazing too!.. I think.. Hehe~... *** Hehe!.. You know!.. I really like to.. Be with the animals.. It's so relaxing and.. Fun!.. They have so much love to give!.. But!.. They deserve love too.. Just.. Like you!..
The time i spend with them is.. So special!.. They're family after all.. Hehe~...
*** What do you mean what do i mean by that?
Yes! I love you!, don't you also love yourself?..
You need.. Love and care!, too!.. You need love to have a healthy body and mind.. And you need it.. To have a positive attitude about life!..
And you need self love as well! To take care of yourself!.
***
What do you mean you don't love yourself?
*** Oh that's sad!.. And i can help you!..
You are.. Special, and you’re unique and there's nobody like you..
You have a great.. Heart.. And a.. Big mind.. And with.. Confidence you can be.. The greatest pony you can be!..
You are very.. Strong.. And dedicated.. And that's why you'll be able to do so much good!.. But.. You should also.. Love yourself too!..
You deserve to have free times!.. So you can go take care of yourself!. You can listen to music!.. You can go on walks!.. You can eat your favourite foods!..
***
YES! You SHOULD have time for that!
And why not?! You are an incredible pony!.. You're.. Dedicated, passionate and friendly!.. You do so much for e-everyone..
You.. Deserve the best!.. You deserve.. To feel good about yourself.. Because.. You're a very special pony!.
You are... So smart.. And funny!.. And so creative!..
And you are good at listening, and you're a wonderful friend!..
And you're very.. Kind.. And generous!..
You give so many.. Wonderful gifts!.. You.. Light... Up.. Everyone's.. World.. With your.. Beautiful.. Smile.. And.. Cute.. Laugh!..
And.. You deserve to be happy!.. With.. Yourself!...
***
No! Your true... Friends will always.. Stay.. With you!.. And.. Care for you!..
***
There there.. It's.. Ok.. It's ok!.. It's normal to feel a little sad at times.. But!.. You have friends!.. All across equestria!..
That's what friends.. Do!.. We care for each other!.. We.. Help each other when we.. Need them!
*** *hugs* You.. Do.. Deserve.. Love..
You.. Deserve.. To feel loved.. You deserve.. To feel happy about yourself.. And you can feel that!.. You WILL feel that!...
You.. Are very.. Special..
You're.. Amazing..
You're.. The best of.. The best!..
So,.. I will.. Give you.. The best care.. That i.. Can!.. Ok.. My.. Friend?..
Here lie on my lap, breathe. Deeply now.
*sings*
***
mmm... you are very.. Special to me!.. And.. I do love you!..
*smooch on the cheek*
You have.. my.. support!..
You can sleep now troubled soul. I am here. don't worry.
....Hmm.... Oh hey there friend. How are you feeling today?
Hmm.... That's good. I myself am pretty hungry.
Hmm? Oh it sounds like you're hungry too!
Huh?
You want to join me?
No...
YOU WANT TO Treat me?
Well good sir thank you for the offer but I would rather not have you pay for anything.
Oh well then if you insist, then you pick the place we go to...
What do you suggest?
Well there is a new place in Canterlot called Hey Burger. It just opened up about 2 weeks ago, so they don't have a lot of customers yet. But we could go there.
Hmm.... That sounds good to me.
WELL THEN LET'S GO!
*walking sounds*
Thank you for offering... That was nice of you...
Hey, remember the time when we first met?
Yeah yeah... Who knew we were both into the Warrior Pony Series? I had no idea the author was in Maine Hatten, but I'm glad she wrote this series.
Yeah, I love to read her books.
I know, right? Opaline had the high ground yet somehow Lansing cut a rug better... Hahaha. The pony clans do the weirdest things for prizes. ... We were both so awkward back then... I didn't even know what to do when you accidentally kissed me!
it was a bit awkward.... ... So why didn't we meet after that?
I guess because we had different priorities at the time. I thought it was more important to take care of my family and make sure they were safe.
But you never said anything about it?
Well I didn't want to hurt your feelings alright? or make you feel embarrassed. I'm actually glad you brought it up instead of me, I was afraid it would make you... what's the word you used.... cringe?
Well, I'm glad the past is behind us. as long as you're fine, then I'm fine. ... So what happened between us? I never really got around to asking you. ... I do think of you as a friend still, and Why wouldn't I be? I mean I still think about you every day. ... So how come we don't talk anymore? Oh I'm sorry. I should have told you sooner. I've been busy lately. ... Well I've been busy with my job and being a princess. I haven't really had much time to spend with my friends. I'll try to make more time soon though. ... Okay. Well I'm glad you made time for me. ... Oh your getting the door for me? How sweet of you. *sigh* thanks. *door opens slight restaurant sounds* You know what you are getting? A {case a dee a}.... Ahhhh... Yeahh... That's not for me. I usually just get a hey burger. Hey, it's ok to be different. If we were the same, there would be no fun.
You know what, I'm glad you didn't act like some princess and order a fancy meal. I'm not either by the way
Oh good we are next. Ill order.... One {case a dee a} for my friend , a hey burger for me and a salted pumpkin smoothie for both of us please.
*coins rattle*
Oh you don't have to pay ... Ill do it. This was your idea. ... Thank you sir. (to waiter)
Hey, you remember that thing from the other day? Well I was wondering if you could help me with it again tonight.
Sure sure. I know a project dealing with toothpicks is a little bit out of your line of work but I think you will enjoy it.
A model of a castle? No...It's for a school assignment for my students. And I need a few more to finish it.
Do you want to sit in booths or chairs? Booth! It is!
(to waiter) Here you go. ...
I have a lot of money to spare since I am a princess. It's fine. I'm used to it.
Let's take a seat here *fwoomp* Ahh booths are great to relax in, terrible for blood circulation though. ... For what it's worth I'm glad we get to be together again. ... Hmm? Do you feel happy around me? Oh how sweet! To be honest I feel... Happy around you too...
"Why?"
"I don't know... Just because."
"Well I'm glad you feel that way. I don't want to lose the friendship we have. ... Oh good, the food is here!
Here is your {case a dee a} And here is my burger...
Thanks!(to waiter)
Ok ... hey before we dig in, do you mind if i do something? It's something Applejack once did and I want to try it. *cough*
I am thankful that we have food and am thankful that I am to lead my kind to a new era of friendship. Amen.
I think Applejack calls it a thanksgiving prayer although I'm thankful she didn't do it it would take forever and the food would get cold.
I actually learned from it though, if you stop and think about all the things your thankful for it can do a world of good.
ok now we can dig in now! sorry.
(fork sounds) Mmmmm... This is good.
Don't forget your shake.
Hmmmm... This is pretty tasty.
... Hey how is you cheesy caseadeea is it tasty? I'm glad you like it.
... You think I'm pretty? Well i think...I am blushing ... You know what bothers me? On occasion when we are both in the library and reading a book, you sometimes look at me. Is there a reason why? ... Well I think I know... But.. I wanted to hear it from you. ... Because I think you like me.. ... You do? Huh... ... Well to be honest... I like you too! I just didn't know how to tell you. ... Well I mean... now it's time to tell you i guess... ... I love you, do... Do you love me? ... You know what don't answer... I know you love me.
Well here's a toast to us!
... *gulp*
Oh no! Brain freeze haha
Well this was fun.
Are you finished with your food? Well, I'm done. I'll just wait till you're done. ... I wonder what we should do next? Well I have been thinking about it.
Maybe we can go out back home and study about what to do in a relationship. ... That sound nice? ... Oh right! We have to get the books first. ... Okay then eat and let us go home. ... it is going to be a good night i can tell.
No… it's going to be the best night, with you as my love. *kiss on cheek*
oh you are done? well i already paid, want to go home and read about us? ... hmm.... I knew you'd say that!
hmm... getting pretty dark... Maybe we should postpone that library date till tomorrow morning?
well our relationship is still budding, but i'm in no rush... how about you? Are you relaxed yet?
good. I was hoping you would say that.
I'd hate to leave you here sitting alone
well i guess i'll see you tomorrow ok.
*kiss*
I love you... OK? See you till next time. *whispers* sweet dreams...... “Trots away” *closes door softly*
Hey there, hey, hey calm down... Why are you crying? Are you ok?
...
I'm so sorry! What happened? ...
Uhm There there… Don't worry everything will be fine. You are safe now.... What happened?!
...
Stop struggling your not goin anywhere! Let me help!!!
... No wait stop, please don't shove me away I'm trying to help you I am a friend!! Even though we haven't met before but i bet if you stay you won't have anything to worry about anymore because I will look after you. ... Shhshh, calm down, take some deep breaths slowly.. there you go.. take them one by one... relax more each time yeah.. Deep beaths! There you go! Good job! Nice work buddy keep going on just like this until you less stressed... its over okay, I'm here for you!... come on... I'm going to breathe with you. ... Hoo... Hoo... Hoo... Hoooohhhh... (sigh) ... Is this working? I'm usually the one who gets comforted, but your kind of out here in the middle on no where land without any protection . Maybe I can be your wing mare for a bit? Do you mind? ... Well it looks like you not in a position to go anywhere, you seem to be stuck. … Here let me help you, I think if I move some things around maybe you could stand up again. come on lets see how far we could push those obstacles together shall we? ...
Yes that's right, yep got 'em pushed back enough room to sit alrighty... Oopsie diddly-oopsies my bad guess ill fix that later hahaha! ...
Hehehee getcha butt offa that ... And put ya hoof into the air... Nngh... Ugh! There how's that? You feelin better?
... Great! Cool huh!? Awesome sauce! You'll be ok... Here lean on my flank there...
hggrrgh.... WOW your heavy... Gosh darnit only thing heavier than you would be an even heavier pony.... Sorry no your not fat... I'm just not used to this amount of weight it, ill get used to it. I just need to shift my weight... There... Oh its ok i got you now hold still while i lift you onto something easier. ... Mmmmkayyyyy listen close cause were gonna whisper real quiet hear me? Are you alight? talk to me how you feelin? Can you speak to me? Hmmmmmm say somethin tell me what yo' name is or at least which town/city you're from...? Ahhh well that's good, anyway glad I'm helping you thought this rough patch... ? ... My name is Scootaloo I saw you laying there when I was ridding past you with my scooter, you must be new around these parts because I know most ponies would rather walk on the path then slam head first into a wall. haha did that hurt? sorry dumb question don't answer. ... What? you mean you felt lonely? Im here now aren't I? ... Now lemme ask u something else; when was the last time anyone talked nice to you?? Huh??? ... When was the LAST TIME someone told YOU they cared about you? ... Don't worry bout that, cuz imma make sure nobody ever treats you poorly while I'm around. is that ok? Wouldn't want anybody hurting your feelings none eh? ... its just... Ive been hearin' a lot of nasty rumors about you, rumors saying you look ugly, people call you names, tell stories about you being meaner then anyone thought possible... ... do me a favor, don't believe em. Trust me, I don't think you bad. I know lots of ponies from different places and none of us had ever heard such horrible lies till I came across these two weirdo kids today when was riding home through town and saw them talking bout you behind a tree laughing their heads off saying stuff like "What a weirdo, that likes ponies" and other rude comments. ... eh? No I'm not gonna repeat entirely what they say, it might make you madder; instead you should focus on what makes you great. BECAUSE YOU ARE GREAT!!!!!!!!! Remember that always! ... You're unique and special you just got ta focus on what you know. Nobody else knows you better than yourself so quit worrying about others opinions and live life YOUR WAY! ... BE HAPPY WITH WHO YOU ARE AND DON'T LET ANYONE TELL YA OTHERWISE!!!!!!!!!! MY MAMA ALWAYS SAID THAT SO IT MUST BE TRUE!!!!!! ... The important thing is...well... Your ok. Your exterior may be different then you like. But you inside is what matters! Nothing beats having confidence in oneself! ... Listen close here, I once had expectations too! I once had a dream to fly all by muh self! But thats ... Impossible for me, and its something to do with my magic astral being off balance or sum such thing. BUT NO MATTER WHAT THINGS WILL GET BETTA FOR ME SOONER OR LATER! JUST KEEP BELIEVING! I can do it. And so can you! ... Lemme teach you somethin. You may be small at the moment, but give it time, and you will grow! You gotta start somewhere, so learn your lessons take breaks when your stressed, and pace yourself, you wont get strong by lifting the heaviest thing on a single day, NOR SHOULD YOU HAVE IT ALL AT ONCE! Its easy to fall apart under pressure especially since most people never learned proper training techniques. Always remember if a thing is to hard make more steps to make it easier for you to remember next time! ... This goes for everyone including myself. It takes practice. ... Just ask Fluttershy, she needed days upon days of meditation to master her social skills properly. .... I mean imagine being socially awkward... Oh sorry if you are, but I bet you can overcome that too! Fluttershy is more assertive now. She doesn't hesitate to speak first. And whenever someone asks her opinion she speaks freely and confidently. That doesn't happen overnight either!, So why rush? All you really need is patience. ... Patience works wonders!. ... Awww thanks for the hug... ... Aww your ok. ... Your beautiful inside and outside. Don't EVER forget that!!!I never do!.. Hey wait up where ya goin?! no don't leave yet! i was just getting to know ya! oh well if you must go i understand... just remember to watch your step ok. ... Ill see you around mmk? ... Bye bye!
Darling, hello! I am Rarity, Equestria’s most fabulous pony, well at least in Ponyville. I was wondering when you would show, come on in, I was just about to do some stitching!
Yes, please feel free to look around the boutique! To your right you will find my personal collection of dresses from all over the world; there are so many beautiful ones here it's hard to choose one or another to wear . You would think with such a vast selection that they'd never get worn...
Actually it's quite funny because if ever something does happen, guess who gets called?
Yup me!
Not to brag or anything, but look at this stitching! It looks like nothing more than a simple pattern... Sometimes that's all you need. Have no fear though, I have made sure every stitch has been done by hoof, which means each piece truly represents our unique brand of fashion magic. Even better , since these pieces were created especially for the client, Which brings me to why I needed YOU!!!
See darling, while others may say "I don't care", trust me when I tell you, THEY DO CARE!! We pride ourselves on being very exclusive. Ponies really do understand the dress code, I've experienced it first-hand.
So how do you stand out? Well, the secret is... Nothing... Be yourself... You can't stand out if you're copying some other pony, granted copying is how you learn, but you got to do your own thing too...
Just imagine creativity as a light inside your head, wanting to illuminate into the things you make.
I must ask darling, what dresses among these fabulous creations do you think is your favorite? Come on now let me know, I'm dying to hear YOUR opinion!
Oh indeed, you like that one? It is a good choice dearest, let's see if we can make a copy of that together, what do you say, would you like to stitch with me?
Well then maybe we should begin with getting started on those patterns shall we.. We will start out with this fabric, it makes it feathery soft on the inside, perfect for making the wearer comfortable... Now we are going to add this other far more fancy material. This will be worn outside, It’s pretty tough stuff, but still flexible enough for any occasion. Ok darling! We just got to measure you before we get started, oh this won't take long at all dearie.
Just hop up onto this stool next to me where I'll place both hooves upon your shoulders. Yes, sit down nice and easy, hold still please, don't move!,
Oops sorry sweetheart, I'm afraid I might have fudged it... One more time... Hmmm, seems fine, what a perfect waist size you have! Now lean forward slightly and relax nicely.... Yep much better, thank goodness!. Ok now you ready?,
Marvelous! You will be the envy of all in Ponyville! Well I have a sketch now of you, let us waste no more time and start cutting the material!
Would you grab the scissors for me please. No, not the industrial ones... Yah that's it! Thank you darling! That's exactly what I'm looking for. Are you excited?! I love seeing you this happy! Well aren't you glad you came in today!? Of course you're pleased, after all THIS is a MIRACLE in progress!
Too dramatic? Well I tend to be like that sometimes... Sorry.
Anyway Darling, don't worry, if everything goes perfectly according to plan you will be the best looking pony in all of Ponyville!
*cutting*
Just listen to these cutters making progress to perfection! They sound almost magical!
Yes darling, just wait until everyone sees the finished product! Eh... Concentrate dearie! You almost made a mistake.
See, is it not exciting to sew?
Sew what!? Oh! That was a joke!
Yes darling you doing a wonderful job! Now dearest, I know you picked this color, but honestly I don't have to tell you that a dress does not make you beautiful. What matters is that you believe you're beautiful no matter how you look.
Of course a dress doesn't hurt to impress a pony either! Ha ha... After all, these colors really do suit you beautifully.
Yes darling, I'm proud of you already... Keep working hard girl. Hold on a moment darling, what cut is that? Huh? Expression…? Well if you say so! You should always experiment, right? Remember imitation is the highest form of flattery. But true creation requires mistakes and failures along the way. Failure breeds success and only through trial and error do we find new ways to express ourselves, creatively speaking.
I apologize dearest, I didn't mean to spout off metaphorical expose', but Ii just want you to know there is no right or wrong in making a dress, well to an extent.
There isn't anything else quite like living an artistic life, every day presents something completely new from sunrise till sunset. If you enjoy creating arts and crafts then go ahead my little friend, create away! It certainly never hurts anyone, and if they happen to dislike whatever you produce which is their problem not yours.
Oh look you're almost done just a few more cuts here and there.
Goodness gracious! Look at that ! Such lovely lines around the legs! How elegant! The hemline really brings attention to the whole ensemble! You look absolutely stunning! And we have not even begun sewing yet!!!!!
My Little Friend, when people admire our work others often compliment them by saying "wow", while some may utter words less complimentary; nevertheless compliments come naturally whenever someone admires another persons' creative endeavor whether big or small.
So why shouldn't praise also flow freely between friends who share similar interests? Don't hesitate to give each other feedback about ideas and techniques used during projects, since constructive criticism builds self-confidence and encourages growth within oneself.
Remember though, positive comments inspire confidence too therefore avoid harsh criticisms especially directed toward yourself. Also beware negative remarks regarding physical appearance since beauty comes in many forms including inner strength and character traits rather than outward appearances alone.
Now let us see you demonstrate your talent and skill with needle and thread... Shall we begin then? Oh you want to use the sewing machine instead? Of course darling! Your choice!
Okay? Very good. So far things are going very smoothly indeed, although maybe you'd prefer embroidery over lace applique?
Yes definitely.
Ohh how cute!
Have you ever considered designing patterns with shapes resembling animals or objects directly inspired by nature?
Perhaps pony ears shaped into flower petals or a mane styled into leaves might appeal to your sense of whimsy?
Hmm… Being imaginative has nothing to do with age, sweetheart. In fact imagination proves itself most valuable in young minds where creativity flows effortlessly. You should never give up imagining, the fact that adults tend to have artist block, or writers block is the fact that ones own parents pressured them into a life of less foolishness. The time when you were the most imaginative was the time you were the most foolishly free spirited child, playing games of pretend without fear of scrutiny or ridicule.
Those were the days weren't they? You remember the times you dressed up as a different thing everyday? Wearing hats, wigs, makeup and shoes... Those whimsy children shared with each other without fear of ridicule. So perhaps those experiences can help you shape what is true to you today. Remembering fond memories could spark inspiration towards any project or idea.
Just a few more stitches dear and we shall try it on! Oh I can't wait for the grande révélation!
This outfit is such an inspiration and it reflects your personality wonderfully!.
It's perfect! It's exactly you!
This will surely turn heads!
Everything fits perfectly together! I love it when the creation speaks volumes of yourself. The best kind of creation is the one you put all your positivity in! Believe me darling, if you create something you don't enjoy, then it's not really worth making anyway now is it?!
You finished stitching! Oh it's absolutely stunning! Eeee! I cannot wait any longer! Put it on, put it on! Now gone on my dear, show your regality and put out your creation! I want to see it.. I MUST SEE IT!
Take your time darling, don't rush, true creation of expression comes from the heart, not the mind. Allow this piece to speak louder than mere words. Take your time getting ready, don't feel rushed. Wear it proudly.... Yes! Proud of all aspects of YOURSELF!!!
Yes!!!!!! WELL DONE MY LITTLE PONY!!!!!!!! Come on out, show Rarity...
*gasp* it... Is.... *chefs kiss* Magnifique! You my friend are the epoch of your own beauty. I am totally honored to witness your amazing talents unfold before me. You've made history tonight. History in my heart! And history is yours! Breathe in your creation let it become you, yes... Breathe deep, inhale..... Exhale...... Exude...
Mmm, perfection! Absolute royalty stands before me! Perfect in every way!
You want to know why it's perfect? Because you made it! You created it! No one else did, only you.
It's like magic isn't it? If you choose to accept it. Let go of everything holding you back and embrace all of the positives inside you.
Be confident in your creation and always trust your instincts.
Now take it in!
All your work in one great item. Poured out passionately onto fabric creating yet again, beautiful designs which complimented both body form AND personality type at once. Just look at these elegant lines accentuating your legs whilst showing off that chest!
That face is radiating youthful innocence coupled with mature sensuality!showcasing that figure hugging bodice designed specifically for you makes me jealous!
The colors chosen, harmonize well with skin tone coloration. enhancing even further your natural glow, accentuating your flawless complexion, complete with soft curves in all right places adding sex appeal to your already attractive features.
It's absolutely gorgeous and everyone who sees it will admire your artistry and uniqueness!
Yes my friend, there isn't another pony anywhere here in Equestria quite like you or your creations.
I think you deserve a little reward. A hoof rub mayhaps? Hmm? Would that make you happy?
There we are…
You know, at the spa they do something nicer than this, but I guess I'll have to do it for now... Hee hee hee.
It's always important to be positive when you complete a work of self-expression whether big or small. So let's celebrate success. Rainbow dash for exsample would probably just do some heroic pose... Something like thiiiiss...
Oh goodness I look exactly like her. *giggle* How quaint!
She is not such an annoying pony despite what you may think... You should visit her sometime. She has lots of energy. And sometimes gets herself involved in things she has no business meddling with.
But then again, she does nothing wrong except being overly enthusiastic about stuff. Sometimes people need someone around to encourage them to follow through with ideas rather than stopping them cold.
Do you know anybody like that dear? I hope so... I hope some pony will guide you down paths where dreams flourish into truth.
Someone that brings light upon dark environments as opposed to bringing darkness unto bright ones. That sorta thing.
Maybe someday soon you'll meet someone special who understands you better than anyone ever has. Who knows?
Until then, être jovial, stay happy, and create with happiness. We're all working towards common goals after all. True creation!
You mustn't forget the importance of living life happily today instead of waiting until tomorrow. This world moves fast enough without us having to push ourselves forward against our desires. Share generosity and give others your creations along with encouragement and praise wherever possible. It might seem hard at first, but remember we live by example and those examples affect other ponies' lives more often than most realize.
All that being said, thanks for stopping by today, and you can keep the outfit. If some pony asks, tell them the element of generosity gave it to you! Ju… just don't let it get through your head. I may be generous but I must pay for this boutique somehow, the next dress you make in this shop, you have to pay for.
Deal?
Oh and one more thing darling, despite whoever might have told you... I am NOT a DRAMA QUEEN! Well I'll see you soon,
Sunset Shimmer stormed into the dormitory, making a grunting sound flopping on the collage bed she sat on for many months now. The light was still on when she arrived and thinking she was alone, cried into the pillow and groaned making the blue and white pillow damp with her tears. She was still in shock at what had happened to her this past year;
"ugggghhhhhh why is collage so hard?" she groaned she turned over and laid belly up. And slammed her head on her pillow, "here it is almost the new year and here I am trying to survive classes and learning... Who thought of this educational system anyway? You pay for a room and books both of which you would probably never retain anyway..."
she sighed as she turned again looking out into the empty room and saw you in the bed in the distance
"oh hi... You must be new here... Sorry if this is the first time your seeing me like this....normally I'm not so emotional. Ive just had a bad year" Sunset said. She then sighed and turned again in her bed still talking.
"Every year, I had a family tradition to make a new years resolution, something you want to do or learn during the year. And let me tell you, I had a lot of dreams this year. Good and bad now that I think about it. Its just been a really stressful couple of months, almost all twelve really." she confessed before turning back around snuggling closer against the pillows.
"I am just looking at my list at the start of last year and I'm realizing that almost all of them are not checked off yet! What have I done wrong?! Maybe its because I'm spending too much time away from home doing nothing but school work instead of hanging out with friends and going places where people actually know how to live life without being stuck inside studying every day!"
Sunset groaned yet again. "Dang... Look at the time...11:47 only a few minutes left till midnight already?!" Sunset exclaimed getting more annoyed by the second.
"Your still up I see, so you must really be counting down the minutes till new years huh, no? your studying?!? Well I just got back after helping a fellow out with moving in, I have no where to go, no money to spend on a hotel, so I spent 8 hours helping instead of actually just relaxing today. And before you ask, They had a small house one bedroom, so I couldn't stay there either. And the road rage tonight was unbelievable! So score one for the friend who was going out of town but i was caught in the middle of it look! My shoulders are so tense! This was the icing of the cake of my year that sucked. I'm fed up with my time being gone somewhere else. And you want to know what sucks? I can't change it."
There was a pause finally as Sunset put a pillow over her face once more. "When will things get better??? Why did they even happen in the first place...? This world seems cruel sometimes....." she said sighing loudly. "I'm supposed to be a fine student, for my parents but I'm getting worn out from all this work, and I know I want to succeed so they will be proud of me. That, The intense pressure that comes from family to excel and succeed; to make huge choices under duress. No wonder most kids end up having severe mental health issues later in their lives. Right? This is where they get it from right? Because I feel like I'm going crazy. How can we expect our brains to function properly while dealing constantly with stress related trauma such as bullying, peer pressure, abuse, We shouldn't force these children to deal with crap like this not even in adult hood. If I survive collage I'm going to intentionally get pregnant so I can tell my children not to go there."
You were about to say something but Sunset still continues her rant. "That's not even the tip of the iceberg! When I first got here, I had to deal with Social ineptitude. You want to know what that is? It's basically feeling awkward socially unable to talk normally due to anxiety disorder caused by social situations involving strangers or those whom you don't personally trust very easily. But if you were me you would totally understand why I do that. You see.... I shouldn't be telling you this... I was once a bad person once. I was after power. I wanted to rule over everyone! But then another helped me see the error of my ways, and made me see the importance of teamwork and friendship. Someone showed me kindness and compassion despite my own selfishness. And guess what happens next? People look at me now watching my every move because of what i did, they watch me, like a hawk. You're different though aren't ya? Nobody watches YOU closely, except maybe gays or straights if you know what I mean."
Sunset Shimmer took another pause to grab a thermace of her morning tea that was on her bag that she carried in with her. Of course the beverage was made in the morning and it was very late now. And she spit out the stale cold liquid onto herself. "Bleh" she said quickly. "Forgot I made that this morning" she again took out the piece of paper that came from her hoodie that were filled with what she wanted to do and sighed once more "'Take your crush on a date' well I guess that won't happen this year unless he happens to come from where he lives which is a half an hour away.
'keep your wallet happy' well I mean I couldn't afford anything except noodles so I guess I can check that off and just erase the word 'happy.' oh wait..."
She stopped suddenly when she saw recently written words across the page, "... BECOME A VAMPIRE!!!" she began laughing hysterically "Oh my goooosh, I must have been really hungry when I wrote that!" she erased the line and continued down the list.
"Who has the time for visiting a landmark? I cant even choose my elective classes that have absolutely nothing to do with what I want to be. Seriously me?" she asked herself shaking her head slightly. Now that she looked through everything, she felt quite sad remembering some memories although many others seemed good enough reason to smile. But alas none could bring sunshine into her dismal mood.
"What am I even doing here?" she wondered again. "The amount I'm paying for is not worth a piece of paper that may or may not get me a better job in the future. Dang.... Is this what real life is? Do people really take you somewhere and say 'do this for me and stuff it!'?! If its anything like that please can I take the next train out of here so I can go back to Ponyville please? Back there I had a place in society, but I have to move here since I had good grades there. I would rather have stayed there but... I had a feeling I would have insulted principal Luna if I had said no. Well screw her anyway let alone any other authority figure around here cause honestly speaking school isn't exactly fun anymore."
Sunset stated glaring angrily towards the wall. "So yeah, screwed up year wasn't it? One thing I am thankful for though, its you. Yes you and don't get any funny ideas when I say that. I'm saying that before you, I was the only one in my entire dorm building that’s studying on a Friday or Saturday night. You could have been out partying with anyone else on a night like tonight, but instead you decided to study like me on new years."
Sunset looked at the clock again which read 12:01 "well for crying out loud, its past midnight." she paused waiting to hear something but she only heard the ruckus from nearby neighbors.
"Well, if you won't say it I will. Happy stinking New Year I guess and good riddance. And to celebrate, I believe I will have two bowls of noodles."
