Yeah, great moral. Be a whiny little prick to the person who makes you famous, and whine cause you don't feel unique anymore.

New episode at last, It's been too long.

Don't have a lot to say about this one.
The whole thing seemed like a reasonable set up. Although i'm not sure what to think of Sassy Saddles, she was annoying but she wasn't cruel enough to dislike and the conclusion didn't seem like it required her to change how she did things. :blink:

What is nice is some recognition for Twilight as a princess outside of a Twilight episode.

There's already arguments over what to name the new overweight pony.Oh dear.

Hey it's got Derpy at the top and DT at the bottom. No disagreements from me. :p

Food for thought.

Technically there are no white horses either, their coats are just a really light grey.

So i've heard. Upon reading a little about it there's some concessions that a truly white horse is possible but very very unlikely, it gets quite technical though. The discussions are quite extensive and I got bored after the realisation I was looking up the colour of horses and decided that;
1. The colour of a horse will not impact my ability to exist at any point in my life.
2. In the extremely rare circumstance where I'm in a trivia quiz and the fate of the world is decided upon my knowledge of whether white horses are actually possible will be solved by the equally unlikely super powers i'll have to save the world anyways. Because hey if i'm forced into such an unlikely hypothetical scenario I might as well have some fun with it.

Let me restate: Most so-called white horses are light grey, and actual white horses are quite Rare.

A whole episode of her whining and bitching about not getting to be Ms. Special Feeling Designer Pony anymore. And of course the person responsible for her success is presented as a bad guy.


Screw that episode, and screw Rarity. In fact, it's time to rejigger my pony rankings.

1. Fluttershy
2. Pinkie Pie
3. Applejack+1
4. Twilight+1
5. Rainbow Dash+1
6. Rarity-3

Welcome back to last place, bitch.


While she was indeed creating short term success I don't think Sassy's model would hold out in the long term, crippling overspecialization in one design of dress. Eventually it would glut the market and no longer be popular and Rarity would have to create a new design asap, after seemingly having her creative juices drained by doing the same dress over and over. Then again I'm only a historian and political scientist, not a business or fashion major.

Currently the best hypothesis would be construction/woodworking with potion making being a close second... (as during their attempt to perform a talent show the three crusaders seemingly switched up their talents in trying to perform it).

Episode went better than expected. I like that, for once, the antagonist character is neither evil nor malicious. I don't see this often in media.

Fashion trends go in and out all the time, once the Princess Dress goes out of style, the business would suffer, the success of that dress would not last.



Does this look like the face of mercy?

Sassy's model is roughly how the real fashion industry works. The key part, which we never got to, is the assembly line. If Rarity wasn't having to make every dress by horn and hoof herself then she'd have plenty of time to make new designs before the last went out of fashion.

Isnt she usually like that, though?
The power of self is unlimited and ultimate, an unending wave of pure energy and being that could never be stopped, apart from time and forever ingrained into the fabrics of all being, this is the truth of Korrelian Existentialism.

⚧Copy and paste this in your sig if you passed biology and know gender and sex aren't the same thing ⚧
Pronouns? Just use whatever, it's all the same to me :P
You will always have your friends, with your friends, you will never be alone. There will always be a light. Friendship is Magic, its the magic that brings the most glimmering lights of hope to the darkest of worlds. And as long as you have it, you will never have to be afraid of the dark. - Me, New Babylonia ^^

Yes. But it's usually funny bitchy. Like when she had Sweetie Belle carry her shit on the camping trip. This was just regular bitchy.
