EDIT: So like maybe I shouldn't have said all this and like okay if anyone from DHX Media ever finds their way to this crappy corner of the internet and reads this I'm sorry for being a titanic chumpstick and shooting my mouth all off. If there is one thing you shouldn't be on the internet though it's a coward so I ain't gonna take this blog entry down, I will just apologize like a MAN for getting so acid about it; I know you guys try your best over there.



DHX Media: Rarity was the first of her sort of character to not be a shallow, selfish, unlikeable whiner.

Lauren Faust's Rarity was refined, and artsy and fussy and vain and a bit hoity-toity, let's face it—a real Boston Blue-Blood. But she was kind and generous or at least tried very hard to be—even if she didn't always succeed, or gave from the wrong motivation—and she would on several occasions go against her very nature in order to help others. I guess Lauren Faust was trying to show that you can be super girly and not like dirt and like dresses and etiquette and formality and style things and STILL be a great friend and a nice person and not be some unlikeable prissy snob.

After Lauren Faust left, you started to undo all that. Good job.

some loser tool





no but seriously, I am just going to straight up ignore the majority of rarity's traits as the seasons progress and just offer those seasons the occasional nod in the way of plot development because apparently the writers at The Studio Formerly Named B won't dare preserve a positive character trait if they can sacrifice it in the name of a cheap gag.

The show's a comedy. We need to stop taking every little thing so seriously. Sometimes Rarity's played for jokes, sometimes it's Dash, often it's Pinkie, etc. It's all about recognizing when a character is being given "serious development" time and when they're not. The characters all often fall back on old character traits for a laugh.

The show's a comedy before anything else. And we as fans need to remember this.
