If you're implying the symbol of generosity is a selfish whore you're quite misguided.

so my goal for this episode was to take a shot of Rarity (French vanilla, Goldschlager, and Irish Creme) every time Rarity was being a bitch. 8 minutes in I was up to six shots. At that point, I wussed out and now I'm drunk but at least I'm not puking violently/dead.
Rarity is regarded as the symbol of generosity but that is sorely misguided; you'll find on a multitude of accounts that all of her actions are driven by selfishness. Even seemingly altruistic actions, such as her donation of her tail to Stephen Magnets' mustache, were not altruistic at all, but spawned from her distaste at what she saw. She changed him because she didn't like what she saw.
Rarity is a selfish bitch. I don't fault you for finding her endearing, but let's not stick our heads in the dirt. She's selfish. Representative of generosity my ass. Spike deserves that distinction more than Rarity at a minimum. Poor sod.

You're drunk. I haven't watched the new ep yet, but her other episodes have made it clear she is quite generous. You're all silly for thinking having standards is being a bitch. You're relying on stereotypes set by other shows; she's overdramatic, sometimes, yes, but she goes out of her way to share her excellence with others.
That's what generosity is: charity. People would probably call Bill Gates a bitch if he was a girl, but he's the one donating billions of dollars to people in need. He still has high living standards for himself, but he's generous. Don't mix it up with kindness, that's fluttershy's thing and she can't hold her own whereas Rarity doesn't need anypony to hold her own, she's a strong individual and she enjoys sharing the reaps of her efforts with others to better their lives.

You haven't? Well, it might help to shed some light on the situation.
But asserting that generosity is charity is misled, at best. True generosity means to be purely altruistic. To put others before you as a reflex, not an assessment. Rarity always feels the need to explain her motives - hardly an altruistic gesture at all. Charity can - and often does - have ulterior motives. A sense of fullness or morality are common themes in that regard. "I do this because it makes me a good pony."
With regards to having standards - that's fine. It's your presentation to others that defines your character, though. Lifting your nose to the air and scoffing with a "hmph!" is as close to a literal definition of being a bitch as one can get. Rarity expresses herself in an aggressive, forward manner and, while to the point, does not take the feelings of others into account. That is why you see her backpedalling so often - to bandage the feelings she hurts, rather than preventing any damage from the get-go.

speaking of the new toys, Blossomforth will be a reverse case.
also, legal cases for adopting fanon names would less likely to be the case (see: derpy being canonized)
and speaking of the 2012 toys, i just want a show-accurate Celestia and i'll be happy.

Some people just paint the Celestia white. I've even seen a nightmare-moon version that looked show accurate even though it was just a painted Celestia.
Oh, awp, you're wrong. WRRRRRRRRRRRRRONNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG, I don't need to argue with peasants, but if you wish for me to share my wisdom I will when I feel necessary. Hmph!

Then it's settled. I will ask for your wisdom when you acquire it and I deem it necessary, and until then you may remain an example of the generosity fallacy.

If there was a way to make it less curly around the sides, that'd be wonderful. Without the need to trim, of course. I have appearances to keep, you know.
The moisturizing conditioner has reduced irritability though, and that is a welcome change.

This is now my favorite ep for two reasons:
1. No Twilight
2. Rarity got some much-needed character development in the form of realizing that she should stop being a bitch towards her sister and loosen up a bit.

So I just woke up and checked Equestria Daily
Then I saw this article about removing the leaked song.
So I searched the interwebs if anypony was able to save it and re-uploaded it, so here it is:
Okay so wow. WOW.
That was insanely good.

Episode 7 now. Episode 6 renewed my interest.
Since there's always bias my favourite pony is Twilight, use to be Fluttershy but...I thought otherwise. My view probably might change due to character development and further episodes.

True, but the previous twist with Muddy Rarity was really unexpected for most fans.
If they didn't notice the eyes, at least.

They also sort of had her horn there. But the fact a western cartoon kept something like that for that long of a time was a little off putting. Things like that are usually 2 minutes tops.

I wish I had the power to not watch a few episodes of something and then forget it forever because I can't make time to watch it.
I figured out the muddy Rarity 'twist' because it wouldn't make sense for them to show the sequence otherwise, rather than eye colour. I never notice eyes, aren't I so cool and hipster
However, the last episode bugged me far more than it should've. Maybe Rainbow's arrogance combined with popularity produced too much of an emotional response in me, or the moral's poor delivery, or the predictable twist was too silly (the others coming up with an elaborate plan that could potentially damage Dash's self esteem before actually talking to her about their concerns. What?), or something. I think too hard about a kid's show. It just generally could've been done better.
Also, Quara, source? The artist seems quite good, despite my usual avoidance of fanart.

I finally got around to watching it and I thought it was fairly good. I felt like it came to an end too quickly though, like there was more that they could have explored. In fact, it feels like this could have been a two parter if they fleshed out the story a bit more. Otherwise it was a good episode, just condensed.
Meanwhile, UnanimousDelivers uploaded a new video!
For a Rarity episode, that one was very good
Tried making a Twilight Sparkle last night. Kinda fucked the proportions on it so the colour of the drink more closely matched Rarity's hair than the purple intended for Twilight. It was delicious, but cost 15 dollars to make so I doubt it'll be a regular thing. 15 dollars is way too much for a litre of 10% alcohol
(It was delicious though)

Start with Season 2, episodes 1 and 2 for a taste of what the show's like if you want to get right into the good stuff. If you have the patience and the manhood for it though, I'd just start from the first episode (of season 1) and go from there, with the promise that it picks up at around episode 4.

I actually didn't realize I liked it until episode 4 or something. Before then I'm like "this is nice animation, but Jesus Christ, the foreshadowing here is a joke."
It started to spark my interest when I realized MLP:FiM was one of the most trending Internet Memes
It was then I realized that I should give it a try.
