Family is a destiny. Applejack's destiny is to support and lead her family.

I generally agree with you, but
>give me some good Rarity episodes that aren't about fashion in some way
Rarity Investigates.
>inb4 costumes
Those are basically props to add to the atmosphere. They don't actually interact with the plot, which is about Rarity's astuteness and eye for detail even when she's being dramatic.
If that's not enough for you, then try Inspiration Manifestation, which is about aesthetics in general. It also happens to be the only good Spike episode precisely because he's not totally lobotomised and shows the desire to be a good, responsible friend, even though he's still somewhat immature.
