What is each pony's favourite inanimate object?

AJ's is obviously her hat.

OK, I'm not into anime. Medium doesn't define quality, either.

But Tropes Are Not Bad, and I like badass characters because I wish I could be that badass, you know?

How did they ever lock the trope page of Lolita?

The only non-villain character who existed purely to be cool that I liked was Jack Rakan

and even HIM I'm falling out of love with.

Well, for Twilight, its got to be either her old Smarty Pants doll, or perhaps her first book on magic, or something like that. For Rainbow Dash, I'm sure it's either a Daring Doo book, or some specially rare piece of Wonderbolts memorabilia.

edit: I'm not sure how to define a character as "purely to be cool" unless they're as over the top as Jack. I mean, every character has their own place in the plot.

OK, I don't know who that is. But I love coolness. It fills me with squee and wish fulfillment.

Fluttershy loves animals, though, so I'm not really sure what hers'd be...

Rarity's is probably some kind of jewelry(I hope that fire ruby necklace makes a return, really), Pinkie's might be her party canon, and Fluttershy?

Well, her's is... private.

I find the problem with "badass" is that its very often just flash and flair, without the substance to back it up.

I mean okay, you want to convince me you're so awesome? Do something awesome! Don't just stand there and act smug. And none of this Cooler's Revenge "I just took your strongest attacks like it was nothing" nonsense either—that's just cheap.

Badassery should be defined by accomplishments, not by attitude.

@con I dislike it when applied to main characters.

As I've said millions of times, I dislike the heroes being show-offy awesome or cool. Even though I know it's necessary a lot of the time

Look, that's the thing! I won't believe you're awesome till I see you do something awesome. Earn my respect, dammit!

Lin is cool, but not a show-off. She doesn't brag. She does does awesome. Hence, awesome.

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

But Ginger if it's only everyone else doing cool stuff, then why aren't those guys the heroes?

@Enlong because I think that heroes are made awesome by their personality and morality... not by their abilities?

OK, I kind of understand how awesomeness can be forced sometimes. When it's not, though?

Then it's just awesome. What's wrong with that?

Without the sort of stuff to be awesome against, it might get boring. If the heros had no abilities, they'd fail.

@con Then I'm okay with it.

Really, I'm just pissed that more villains don't have entries on the CMOA pages -_-

Trixie's gonna freak when she turns around.

Why can't we have both, huh? I see nothing inherently wrong about the heroes being cool that would detract from them if they already have good characters and personalities. There's a distinct problem with a work where only the villains are allowed to be powerful and accomplish things. One needs to strike a balance, and I'm optimistic enough to think that writers can do that.

CMOA? What's that?

Never said that. I prefer that. But I also love characters who are cooler than I can ever hope to be.

My new favourite Celestial Beast picture.

I was going to agree with you, but then I noticed the Pisces one just kind of...staring blankly. Made me laugh.

The reference is Big O.

I don't get this reference.

Posting solely for the Delancie pony.

Nightmare Moon vs Chrysalis.

This artist knows how it would go down, Chrysalis crushed beneath Nightmare Moon's hooves like a bug. Note that Chrysalis' wings have been torn off.

And Pisces is my star sign.

I like Badass Pacifists. Especially when they walk up to someone who can kill them anytime they want and use their words to dissuade them, speaking with conviction. That's way more badass than chopping a bus in half or something.

I'm a fan of characters with strong conviction.
