Don't mind me just posting my objectively correct ship tier list. i admit that a decent amount of this was ranked based on aesthetics and vibes. Haters feel free not to argue with me as you will only embarrass yourself with your terrible taste.

But... Celestia and Sombra is Canon...

I was about to get mad that you put my personal favourite at the bottom, but then you put princest at the top, so I guess we're cool.

Where do you think you are?

Why do so few people like Applejack and Twilight together? They have really good chemistry with each other. Hell, I'm pretty sure Twilight spends more time hanging out one-on-one with Applejack than she does any other pony in the group. I don't understand why stuff like Twilight and Rarity is so much more popular when the two of them almost never interact outside of a group context. In fact, Look Before You Sleep is just about the only episode I can think of with any substantial interaction between Rarity and Twilight.

>>42385037
>Twilight and Rarity is so much more popular when the two of them almost never interact outside of a group context.
There are really good reasons why Rarilight is popular and its not just cus of Monochromatic.
>Both Twi and Rares are driven, perfectionist, and autistic about their interests
>Twilight is antisocial but independent
>Rarity is charismatic and helps ponies get out of their shell
>Both Twilight and Rarity are quick-witted and snarky.
>Twilight helps Rarity stay organized and focused
>Rarity helps Twilight to be able to relax for ocne
>Both calm each other down when they freak out

>>42385037
>Well, I'm pretty sure Twilight spends more time hanging out one-on-one with Applejack than she does any other pony in the group.
>Rarity was the one who had Twilight's back out of anyone when Twilight was getting attacked by the villains.
>Rarity was the one who was by Twilight's side the entire time during her coronation situation, and the only one who was willing to keep Twilight company.
>Twilight and Rarity have a lot in common but in different ways.
>Twilight and Rarity cover for each others weaknesses very well.
>They are aesthetically pleasing together
Rarity is the perfect partner for Twilight and Twilight is the perfect partner for Rarity.

>>42385109
Most of that would also apply to Twilight and Applejack though.

>>42385037
>Look Before You Sleep is just about the only episode I can think of with any substantial interaction between Rarity and Twilight.
Way to expose yourself as not watching the whole show.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnHPq46oecA

>>42385122
Applejack has zero interest in intellectual pursuits. There is not even a little bit of overlap between AJ and Twilight's interests.
They wouldn't work.

>>42385126
>Way to expose yourself as not watching the whole show
Correct, I haven't watched beyond season 5.

>>42385132
Rarity and Twlight are the most intellecual ponies of the Mane 6 its just their their intellectual interests are in two different fields. Twilight is more into the more rigid stuff, while Rarity is into the more artistic and creative intellectual stuff.

>>42385132
Cope. She's as smart as Rarity. And episodes like Sweet and Elite show that Twilight has much more in common with Applejack in terms of personality and personal tastes than she does Rarity.

>>42385136
So why ask why so many people ship Rarity and Twilight together when you don't know the whole context?

>>42385141
Also, when Twilight is not around , Rarity is always the second-in-command like in Sparkle's Seven. They are just the greatest power couple evarrr

>>42385151
Basically yeah as Rarity is the 2nd smartest member of the Mane 6 while also being competent. Applejack is competent as well but she's a bit too stubborn sometimes.

>>42385145
>Rainbow Dash has a lot of stamina

Because 1 episode from season 8 doesn't really beat multiple episodes from season 1-3.
>>42385151
> when Twilight is not around , Rarity is always the second-in-command
Since when? Applejack has always been the groups second in command, not Rarity. Are you forgetting the about the Season 4 premier?

>>42385145
>taking RPG stats as end all be all canon.
Applejack is smart don't get me wrong but she's not as smart as Rarity.
Yeah AJ knows how to run a farm.
But Rarity is
>A skilled artist
>A skilled seamstress
>A skilled designer
>A skilled business pony
>A skilled strategist
>Quick witted
>Knowledgeable
Rarity has the capability to do anything she puts her mind to. I think if Rarity wanted to become amazing at magic she could, she simply has no interest.

>>42385168
Again though, half of those apply to Applejack as well. And I think you're also underestimating the amount of shit that goes into running a farm that Applejack would be taking care of.

>>42385170
Again anon I never said AJ is dumb. She's probably the 3rd smartest member of the Mane 6. I'm just saying Rarity is likely smarter.

>>42385161
Applecope

>>42385172
Yea it's arguable which one of them is smarter, It could go either way. I just don't really see much concrete to say that Rarity is smarter, especially when she's a lot more prone to theatrics and over reacting to things, while AJ is usually pretty level headed in most situations. Like in the holiday special, it's Applejack who calms down Twilight when she starts sperging out at one point and reminds her to breathe slow.

>>42385185
>I just don't really see much concrete to say that Rarity is smarter
Sure there isn't anything "concrete" but we can judge their likely intelligence based on their "feats" of intelligence.
Rarity uses her brain like all the time the in the show. Rarity is almost always uses her intelligence and charisma to get stuff done, She rarely uses brute force.
AJ can be clever but she mostly uses brawn.

>>42383222 (OP)
One of your FAVORITE ships is Thorax x Fluttershy??? I don't think i've ever seen that before

>>42385205
They just work.

>>42385198
To be fair, considering AJ's lifestyle compared to Rarity's, brawn probably is just an easier solution in a lot of cases.
Going a bit off topic though, but I'm curious to see what you think -- who do you think is the dumbest of the group? I'd lean towards RD personally, but I think a decent argument could actually be made for Fluttershy. I can't really think of any feats of intelligence for her, or any thing that really implies she's particularly educated. I guess Suited for Success shows she knows a lot about sewing, but that doesn't really mean she's smart. Idk, I just don't really remember seeing anything out of Flutters that would make her notably intelligent.

>>42385172
Have me say it in your place then: she's clearly bottom 2 in brains

>>42385226
AJ? No she is not dumb. Rainbow is the dumbest, and Pinkie is smarter than Rainbow but dumber than AJ.

>>42385239
What about Fluttershy?

>>42385243
Not gonna lie I forgot Fluttershy existed for a second when I posted that.

>>42385250
>>42385243
See man I'm telling you. Fluttershy really doesn't have much going for her in way of gauging intelligence. Only reason she isn't right at the bottom is because she doesn't have any stupidity feats either.

>>42385218
>who do you think is the dumbest of the group?
Rainbow Dash and its not even a debate.
>I guess Suited for Success shows she knows a lot about sewing
I wouldn't use "Suited for Success" as an example of Fluttershy's intelligence. If anything that moment Fluttershy had was an example of her ignorance.

>>42385218

>>42385258
KInda proves my point desu. Not much going for Flutters in way of intelligence. I'm pretty sure she only coasts by in discussions like this because she doesn't have any REALLY dumb moments either, the way other ponies do. Though that depends on what you consider really dumb I guess.

>>42385286
Fluttershy is dumber than Pinkie Pie for sure, There is no doubt in my mind.
The question is if she's dumber than Rainbow Dash.

Do you think Rainbow Dash would fail the breakfast question? I can totally imagine Pinkie failing it desu.

I just looked up this meme and I don't understand how its difficult to answer it.
If I didn't eat breakfast this morning I would have hungry.

Fixed it for you.

>>42385592
>I don't understand how its difficult to answer it.
That's because you aren't sub 90 IQ Anon.

>>42385436
I think you're really reaching Rarity, Pinkie, and Twilight's numbers here. You're putting Rarity and Twi in a range close to/at the level of Einstein. Rarity's not stupid, but she has plenty of dumb moments that there's no way someone with an Einsteinian IQ would have. This really comes across as unicornfag wanking.

>>42383222 (OP)

OP isn't just a faggot, he is homosexuality in human flesh

>>42385676
Rarity is both skilled at drawing, sewing, design, and is a successful business woman, and is quick witted. That has to be upper levels of IQ.

>>42385593
You're ugly and lazy

>>42384352

Seething pedophiles spotted. Keep up the good work OP.

>>42386139
Knowing how to do a wide variety of things doesn't mean you have an IQ of 140. Being witty and a good autodidact are within the scope second standard deviation level things, the range that you put Pinkie and AJ in. None of what you listed implies third standard deviation intelligence, which is where you're putting her.

>>42386188
>Knowing how to do a wide variety of things doesn't mean you have an IQ of 140.
How many people IRL do you know who are

/thread

>>42386196
Drawing and sewing are both skills that can be practiced and improved, no notable intelligence is required for that. If you aren't disabled, you can get good at those. Social skills also aren't really indicative, since autists with horrible people skills can still be high IQ. Running a successful business IS an indicator of above average intellect, but it isn't above two standard deviations. 130-140 is literally genius range, you don't need to be that smart to run a business. You're seriously overselling how much IQ is required for these things. Everything you've listed about Rarity is perfectly achievable for people in the 115-125 range.

>>42386233
>no notable intelligence is required for that
Bull fucking shit. There are plenty of people who take the time to try to learn how to draw or another skill at still suck at it 5 years later.

>>42386264
And there are plenty of people who become skilled at an activity despite being below the average.
Besides, the standard you're applying to Rarity easily applies to other characters too, watch.
>Applejack
>Very skilled chef by Pinkie's own admission
>Can play multiple instruments
>Regularly competes in athletic events and does well in them
>Knows how to build sturdy structures and has an eye for construction
>Good at general maintenance, able to diagnose and fix plumbing problems despite not being a professional plumber, and having no formal training in it
>Also runs a successful business, having multiple deals with other businesses and making deliveries to other settlements
>Also witty and good at reading others emotions
How many irl people do you know that can do all that? By your logic, Applejack should also be a 140 IQ genius.

>>42383389
>In IDW's My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #17-20, Celestia is revealed to have a very different history and relationship with a King Sombra from an alternate universe. Before she had ever even heard of the Sombra from her own world, Celestia explored such alternate universes with her mentor Star Swirl the Bearded. In one such world, Celestia discovered that her alternate self was a villainess, and was briefly imprisoned after being mistaken for her. Fortunately, the truth was soon discovered and Celestia was released by the world's King Sombra, whom Celestia seems to have been immediately struck by.

What the actual FUCK? I'm a newfag who's never been interested in the comics but they actually go down this route? Parallel universes and dumbass shipping? I'm genuinely angry I learned this information CELESTIA IS SUPPOSED TO BE A 2000+ YEAR OLD VIRGIN WHAT THE FUCK I'M FUCKING PISSED

Fair enough for most of what you said but being good at physical activity has nothing to do with how intelligent you are.

>>42385037
My guy with the only good post in sight, I friendship it. I've viewed AJ as a second in command ever since the pilot with how she takes the lead, and I see that working for the two communicating the most during important missions.
>>42386151
OP is baiting, I mean shipping, Spike with adults, and fillies with fillies left and right. Guess again.

>>42386401
Both AJ and Rarity have taken 2nd in command roles from time to time.

>>42385126
Twilight and Rarity are just friends. Bitch if they went into the closet together, wouldn't they have sex in there if they are in love? Otherwise what's the point of shipping?

>>42383222 (OP)
Shippers are all trannies and faggots. Kill yourself

>>42385436
Twilight 130-140 IQ
As a known gifted scholar, Twilight leads the main 6 with logic, and that places her in the gifted range of the IQ scale.

Rarity 100-110 IQ
Her creativity and social skills suggest higher than average intelligence, with a flair for aesthetics.

Fluttershy 95 - 100 IQ
She's very knowledgable about animals, and can understand multiple languages, but nothing noting much higher than average intelligence.

Applejack 90 - 100 IQ
Her strengths don't lie with abstract problem solving, she's a resourceful pony with practical intelligence markers.

Pinkie Pie 80 - 90 IQ
Pinkie has unique abolities like being able to remember hundreds of birthdays, but her lack of abstract problem solving skills suggest an an average to below average IQ.

Rainbow Dash 80 - 90 IQ
She consistently displays quick decision making skills in high pressure situations, but she's unlikely to show analytical problem solving skills anytime soon.

>>42385436
Switch Pinkie and Twilight

>>42386517
What exactly are you calling 'abstract problem solving'?

>>42385593
not even the canon ones?

>>42386517
>four out of six ponies have below average IQ

that's an American take

>>42386581
I know, the metrics here don't even make sense
>Resourceful and practical intelligence markers
>90
>Quick thinking in high pressure
>80
>Social skills

And then Twilight's sitting at 140 with zero elaboration on why other than "logic", lol.

>>42386517
>Rarity 100-110 IQ
That is too low to justify everything Rarity can do.

>>42386663
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rarity as a character.

>>42386517
>Applejack 90 - 100 IQ
Anon, AJ is wisest pony among the M6

>>42386663
>Knows multiple languages
>95
None of these numbers make sense. I almost think he doesn't realize 100 is supposed to be the baseline. 100 is normie level intellect.

>>42386683
Every pony has their retarded moments anon

>>42386707
What do you mean? Rarity isn't being retarded at all. You see, she knows stallions love to feel needed by cute helpless mares, so Trenderhoof would have to come trotting over to show her how to pull the contraption like the big strong stud he is. Rarity is truly a mastermind when it comes to social complexities.

>>42386721
Except, in this instance, she's completely misread the situation, as Trenderhoof is an amazon chaser that likes mares who are strong and capable, hence his infatuation with Applejack. He doesn't want a mare to make him feel like a big strong stud, he wants to be snu-snu'd.

>>42383222 (OP)
>objectively correct
Objectively all ships are shit so unless all that is tier shit...

>>42386748
Trenderhoof is the retard in this instance, because he made a show of putting on overalls to appear as a strong and capable farmpony, as opposed to acting his beta male self. Rarity is a genius, not a mind-reader.

>>42386781
I mean, you don't really have to be a mind reader to see that he's jizzing himself over Applejack, not her.

>>42386793
That's why she dressed and talked like Applejack. AJ does appreciate help with her chores. Look how much she admires and relies on her gigachad brother.

>>42386773
People who hate shipping are fake fans and should kill themselves actually.
