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!
awp
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.

You're a customer guest to my thread. If you want to keep complaining I suggest you do it outside of here. I'm providing you with a service and if you are unhappy with it I suggest you go elsewhere.

...But we could work on that beard a bit if you want, free of charge...

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 6: Cutie Pox
This episode is really entertaining.

Applebloom's French voice was really satisfying to listen to

The toy was released about a month (or more) ago, I think?

i've seen the rainbow dash toy way before episode 7 started being produced.

I finally caved and started watching this. I'm about 3 episodes in. I'm starting to see why it's popular it is awesome and hilarious and Spike is adorable.

As for everyone having a favorite pony... sign me up on Team Applejack.

Oh, you are a fan, too? Woot. Uh, I mean, yee-haw.

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.



Omnonom, I'm going to remap Burn my Dread. brb, guys.

Episode 8: Mysterious Do Well
Great episode :V



WHAT A STORY TWIST, MAAAN
awp
Good episode, but the problem, as you say, is that the "twists" are always way too predictable

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

Oh and I found this adorable fanart:

Yeah that was the only thing that tipped me off, and I didn't notice until halfway through the contest. That one was kind of clever.

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.

Okay so I was derping around and decided to draw Humanized Twilight Sparkle.
Been a long time since I last draw something so I'm really rusty.

Blargh, colored in Photoshop.
