That's something: Did Spike take her PURELY because he likes her? They didn't really establish WHY he took her, so one can only assume...

Fluttershy's was my favourite cape.

Still Favourite.

Anatomically incorrect Fluttersnail.

Does Rainbow's wing look odd here?

^^He took her because he wants to possess her. While Spike himself would probably never consider having a crush on her wanting to own her, Hulkspike has no such qualms - Hulkspike works on the simplistic, animal core of Spike's feelings for Rarity with none of the care that Spike has for her as a person.

@Ginger: I can't imagine why else. Otherwise he would have just grabbed some random pony rather than going for her. Red Savant basically summed up the rest of it.

@Badwolf: I think it just looks weird because it's midflap; there are lots of motions that look perfectly normal in motion but look incredibly weird when paused at the right moment.

Rarity was the only pony who was wearing something wasn't she? That might have been why she was taken.

I'll be serious for you Ginger, How long has She known? How long has she been using the poor SOB? Lovesick pup doesn't know any better!

Yeah, you guys remember this? In light on current events, I'm feeling like changing Rarity's alignment to True Neutral. Not only because it would be more fitting, but it would also fill out all non-evil alignments WITH PONIES!

To coment on Rarity's situation. Yeah the part where Rarity shows that she already knew about her cursh was heartwarming. Maybe twiligh is still bad at keeping secrets or pinkie lol.

Remember when we kind of talked about this two weeks ago?

Kind Fluttershy is kind.

Rarity admits the truth.

This is how everybody feels, yes?

Another where was Spike last week comic.

I'm just going to note that I can't remember any proof that Rarity was aware of Spike's crush before this episode, and there's no indication that she's willingly "using" him unless you delve into some serious Alternate Character Interpretation.

^Like I said, I don't believe she figured it out until Spike reverted on top of the mountain.

Yes Takashi. 0, Using. The show has provided enough evidence to support my wild but not 100% baseless and crass hypothesis!

Or possibly it's because Spike has been dropping hints (intentionally or otherwise), and Rarity finally put two and two together on her own.

Who knows?

@Badwolf: I'm not gonna lie, that Fluttershy pic is honestly creeping me out. Her face looks like it would fit better on a lion.

Rarity is a good girl, to paraphrase the JPN bronies on Nicovideo.

She might be selfish at times, but there are definite lines that she wouldn't cross.

And changed it. Now all non-evil alignments fit a pony. Now all we need is three different evil ponies, and then we can make an alignment chart WITH PONIES!

[up][up][up]I agree with you. I love Rarity for being such a nice girl despite the fact that most chracters like her are Alpha Bitch. iT's very likely she just noticed while they were falling.

Rarity really loves to fall from high places doesn 't she?

If Rarity ends up nervous about heights, I certainly wouldn't blame her :D
