Glasses Rarity is fabbest Rarity.

I don't know about you... but Ishipit.

Trilbys actually really make me uncomfortable when I see people wearing them, now. I never liked how they looked, but their current connotation makes it even worse. The sad thing is that... I know a neckbeard-stereotype IRL.

Plebs, it's obviously Raridan.

...Yeah, I'm actually a filthy casual myself.

I don't think it's numbers so much as dedication. All of the other FCs probably have FILTHY CASUALS in their ranks!

My reason is that, well, I identify strongly with her element. I'm not appearance-conscious like her... in fact, a lot of my surface traits are the opposite of hers. But in her willingness to give things up, I find her extremely relatable. Twilight is probably the pony I'm most like overall, but definitely doesn't have the same "core" as Rarity does. I suppose seeing yourself in one of the Mane 6 is another reason.

They may say we practice idolatry... but truly, only our goddess is worthy of worship!

[fabulosity intensifies] All glory to the Queen! Kinda gets me wondering why the other FCs have so few posts. Did they formerly have more? I'm new.

While all of the villains have been pretty excellent, I have a mayor soft spot for the Queen. She had a VERY important agenda to her people, and did her best to fulfill it. Her actions are not excusable; she is in fact a massive sadist, as well as having a common villainous ego. The truth is, however, her people needed to feed. They probably starved to death. At least Cadance is alive! Right? Right...

Well, it certainly is nice to make your acquaintance!

Ziv. (Techically Kseev but let's roll with the simpler option.) S4 definitely was a good season for Rarity overall, and I have to say Generosity was probably my favorite musical of the season, and did her great justice.

They really dialed up some of her whininess and demanding tendencies to non-Rarity levels in the episodes where she was present but not the main character. We all have to admit, a little bit of that is Rarity, but... I feel some of it went out of character. Some episodes she's a cartoony "joke" type character, others she's actually the most "real" character of them all.

I think the worst thing that's happened to Rarity, though, is that on occasion in the newer seasons that even the WRITERS forgot what kind of character she was. Same thing happened to Twilight and to a lesser extent Pinkie Pie. Let's hope that season five recoups.
