Christmas Goodies!

It's Christmas! Well, for those of you lucky enough to live here in Australia, that is. The rest of you probably have to wait a little while. But when it's Christmas for you guys, too, post here telling me all about your haul! (I seriously want to hear, I get an inordinate amount of enjoyment out of listening to people talk about gifts they ( Read more... )

I don't really collect Ponies or anything, but Rarity + AJ are my favourite characters, so I knew I had to at least get them. And I'm studying to be a teacher so when I saw that they sold Cheeralee as a single, I knew I had to get her too. (Plus her design is cute, her shade of purple makes her look delicious.)
I guess when I said I hadn't found any others where she had her hat, I meant in the same range as the singles Ponies (so the same size). Although I have actually not seen big sets like that.
RARITY WOULD DISAGREE

Eight-inch pony pumps not your thing?

Yeah, I just want the regular sized/single set Ponies, though I don't think I'll be getting any more. I considered getting some of those little figurines they sell in boxes (blind bag?) but to be perfectly honest, they look pretty shitty. You know the ones?

Aww man, your bath robe sounds so cute! But the steampunk pocket watch is interesting, who gave you that?

HAAAAAAA It honestly took me a moment to get it and then I was like. "Oh. OHHHHH!" Oh I love it, Frizzy! It's hot secretary Mina and badass news editor Rei! Heeee! I love the fuzzy jacket and high heels and cute hair style on Mina! And Rei's sassy suspenders and rolled up sleeves. THIS IS SO AWESOME AND NOW I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO WORK ON THIS FIC JUST TO LIVE UP TO THE ART DAMN YOU I HAVE FALLEN RIGHT INTO YOUR TRAP.

*heaves* Also, Applejack! Applejack and Rarity! I also adore them together, they are the perfect contrast. Yes, Applejack needs her hat very much.

Eeee, I'm glad you like it! It's more or less the pose (and clothing) I imagined them in, but I have no idea if this is how they look in the fic. Sorry if they bear no resemblance at all. D:
YES, THAT IS YOUR ONLY CHOICE. I did this only so that you would write the fic until it caught up with the drawing. AHAHAHA do it.

They are great! I'm enjoying the Applejack / Rainbow Dash rivalry in the series more than I thought I would (I'm not normally big on rivalries), but Rarity + Applejack together work really nicely too. I think 'cause it's less that they actively compete against each other, and just have conflicting personalities... but at the same time, similar ones. Like how they both basically worked themselves to the bone for their friends. HAHA sorry I am rambling how did we get here from discussions of a playset???? yes Applehat needs jack I concur.

They are BETTER than I imagined. TBQH I haven't given Rei a whole lot of thought, but now I'm pretty sure she's going to be dressed like a noir film star all the time.

Yessssss they are both total workaholics and I would LOVE to see an episode exploring that. I feel that there is a bit too much contrast in how their relationship is portrayed and not enough of their similarities. They don't JUST break down into outdoorsy tomboy/glamorous femme.

Yes! With trench coats and awesome fedoras, maybe always smoking... without needing a lighter or understanding why...

Yes! There are lots of similarities there to be explored. Ooh! What would it be like if Apple Bloom and Sweetie Bell had to participate in the school play, so Rarity + AJ both volunteered to work with the school (AJ doing construction of the set, Rarity on costumes)? And then they both work themselves to the bone as the well-meaning teachers (and fillies) ask them to do more and more stuff and they can't say no (we could get an awesome if irritating montage of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon bossing Rarity around), and not only do they overwork themselves but they get caught up in a rvialry as well and the need to just brush it off and say "Aww, it's nothin'" whenever they see each other... It has a similar theme to some other episodes but Twilight Sparkle's message at the end of those was "don't spread yourself too thin/don't be afraid to ask for help" and "trust your friend's judgement when they have more experience ( ... )
