RaraLover

I'll be honest, I actually didn't know who Night View was until I looked her up just then – now I recognise her! So that's her name.  I don't think I know many of the background School of Friendship students besides Strawberry Scoop.  Though, I can recognise a few of them by what they look like. For example, I remember seeing this pony quite often.  If I recall, she was fortunate enough to have some speaking lines.

Ocellus looks very adorable! So cute! 

Derpibooru is my main go-to site for pony art, but I sometimes use DeviantArt or even Google. Although I haven't browsed all the pages yet for Rara art in Derpibooru, I recognise a lot them. I love seeing new Rara art, but I think I've seen most of the ones on Derpibooru so far. I do hope to find ones I haven't seen before elsewhere. Also, I see a lot of Coco art from VinilyArt! 

I have to ask, what's your favourite Miku song? 

I always love seeing the beautiful lighting on that one!  Strawberry Scoop is such a cute pony, she certainly deserves more art!

Well, what do you know! This same artist here has also made a few Rara drawings as well.

It's nice to find some more art aside from the ones I see so often. If I look hard enough, there are probably some hidden gems out there! 

You have so much cool Miku merch!  I actually have the same third poster as you, but mine is smaller.

I have some Miku figures, but unfortunately they're not authentic (I'm too poor ). Here's a couple of them.

These are the Miku posters I have. The one on the left was a gift from my sister. It features Miku and her other Vocaloid friends! 

This poster below was a gift to my sister from her friend, which she then gave to me. I still haven't found a place to hang it up yet. 

And finally, my adorable Miku plushie! 

I love Miku, too! 

Hi, my friend!

And so are you, always! 

I can't imagine myself going through pony art. It's so overwhelming how many there are!  In fact, I don't think I've seen all the Rara art alone. Since I don't look at pony art very often (especially nowadays), I usually browse the more recent ones since they are the first I typically see. But going through over 100 pages and counting, I commend your dedication! 

Another lovely Rara drawing, as always!  Do you mean this one? I actually haven't seen this one before – she looks so pretty!

Weather in Melbourne here is always so whacky. If you live here too, you probably know what I mean. 

Most certainly! 

What a lovely Rara!  I suspect that you've already seen a majority of the Coco art that is out there. Here's a pretty old one – Coco is so sweet helping Rarity out with some late night work.

Happy forumversary, BFFFF! 

You guessed right. Being the Rara fan I am, I actually like all forms of Rara, including her as Countess Coloratura.  Yeah, she's not her true self as "Countess", but she is still the Rara I love.  In fact, a critical part of why I admire Rara so much is when she eventually realises her true self after becoming Countess Coloratura – I think her as Countess plays an important part in her story. As such, I actually wouldn't mind a plushie of Rara in her Countess outfit. 

That photo looks stunning! I should absolutely do this with my Rara plushie! 

I saw you reacted to one of my very first posts the other day, so I had a feeling you were going to run out sooner or later.  But that won't stop me from giving you more!  Thanks again for all the brohoofs, my friend!  *hugs*

She looks so cute in her Camp Friendship uniform!  It's nice to see a plushie of her in that outfit. If only I could afford her... 

It's a possibility. Though, I think there were some missed opportunities for certain characters to be expanded on, especially for those who only appeared on the show once (or perhaps twice). So, it may not completely be a matter of their story arc ending. I do wonder though, based on the Tweet, if Hasbro actually prefers to push out new characters rather than have old ones returning (not saying that having new characters is a bad thing! ) – maybe that's part of the reason why they would consider something uninteresting. You know, so they can make more toys to sell and stuff like that. 

Oh, I almost forgot about that incident.  I think I first heard about it in some YouTube video. Honestly, now that you mentioned it, it's a fair reason. 

I suppose it'd take some effort for them to recast these characters, such as trying to find similar voices to the replaced voice actor and effectively conducting the whole audition process again. But since they are supporting characters, they may consider it as more trouble than it's worth to recast them. Although, I can think of some who probably won't have this issue. Like for example, since Cathy Weseluck also voices Spike, I don't think this explains why Coco never appeared in EqG (even if she were to have no speaking lines).  The reason may be more towards that she was simply not considered by the writers, or just did not fit in well enough to be incorporated into the story for an episode/short.

She is one of those Hasbro-licensed toys, and is a little bigger than some of their other plushies. I don't have a picture of her with me right now, but she doesn't look that bad for a Hasbro toy. 

Yeah, those are some valid points. Cheese Sandwich's voice actor is also famous, right? And he made a reappearance in Season 9, so I wonder if it's a similar reasoning as with Patton Oswalt. I wouldn't know, since I don't follow the voice actors of MLP as much nowadays. 

I actually recall reading something like that myself. Or maybe it was just speculation once it was known that a popstar pony was going to be featured in the movie.  I do like Songbird too – my sister gifted me a plushie of her (not a custom one though) a few years ago for my birthday or something.

Gosh, I didn't even realise I hit a new brohoof milestone. Thanks for helping me reach that! 

Some of my guesses is that certain characters don't reappear because it would be too difficult for them to get ahold of their respective voice actor for a recording session, or it costs too much for them to do so. Alternatively, could it be that a character (or their debut episode) was not successful enough in terms of income?  I'd find that hard to imagine in Rara's case, but that's me being biased.  Though, it'd be sad if they were just completely forgotten altogether. 

For me, I can't clearly remember how my brohoofing days begun.  My guess is that it was when I first learned about status updates that I gradually started giving out brohoofs, especially when I also began receiving some myself.  Early on, I think I just gave out brohoofs to replies in my own statuses for the sake of it being my own content. I progressively brohoofed more when I dove deeper into other people's statuses found in my notifications and started interacting more with the community.  Posts on the other hoof I don't think I reacted to much back in my early days here, which led me to believe that it was statuses that got me started with brohoofing. 

*drags you into the brohoof storm with me* 

Honestly, I think Coco deserved to appear at least once in EqG, even if she had no dialogue. I'm glad she made multiple appearances in FiM, but I had hoped we'd get to see her EqG counterpart, too.  Unfortunately, I guess that's how it goes for secondary/supporting characters. There are so many that I wished would reappear again, like Vapor Trail (who did have a cameo appearance! ), or Petunia Petals in the case of your avatar – another adorable pony! 

I don't think anyone can top your brohoofing skills, not even me.  I don't spend as much time here to give out as many brohoofs as I once did, so "master" might be overdoing it. 

Thanks for the extra brohoofs, my friend!  Now I need to get you back!

Yeah, I'm the same with you in terms of activity.  I do make posts from time to time, but I mostly spend my time in the world of statuses. When I do go back to some of my old posts, it does give me some cringy feelings to be honest. It's like those "Did you seriously write that?" moments, if you get what I mean. 

Rara looks so pretty!  And shy Coco is adorable! I agree – I wish there's more art of those two together!  Vapor Trail is indeed one of my favourites, so it's great to see her, too!  There's also this one I found, but you've probably already seen this since art with Rara and Coco are few and far between.

I think I've shared the art below with you before, but it's perhaps one of my most favourites that have just Rara and Coco together. They're so cute in this one that I have to share it again!

You're welcome!  *hugs*

It was just a little something to commemorate your forumversary. Plus, I think it is quite fitting to give the master brohoofer some brohoofs back after all! 

Thanks for the brohoofs, too! There was no need, but I appreciate the kind gesture.  I don't post content on here that much nowadays, so I'm surprised you managed to find some unreacted posts from me. In fact, seeing some of my old posts again did take me back. 

Thanks, and same to you and Coco as well!

Happy forumversary, my friend!  You're always a pleasure to have around the forums, and a super amazing friend, too! 

Of course, Rara! You are always pretty to me! 

I'm back! *gasp*  A balloon from Buffy? How sweet of you!  Best pony forum mascot ever!  *hugs*

*falls over and tries to hug you back* 

It's great to see you again! With things now under control, I should be more active here and on the Discord side of things, too. 

Hi, my friend! Rara and I are doing fine, thanks for asking! She keeps me cozy on those late nights of studying, with plenty of hugs as well. 

I hope you and Twilight are doing alright, too!

She has such a lovely voice! I could listen to her sing all day. 

Hi, my friends! I'm also glad to see you both (and Rara) again.  It's been a rough past few months, but things are alright now. I hope you guys are also doing well, too! 

Have a box of shy ponies (with a bonus Marble Pie included)!
