This seems as good as good a place as any for this. Okay, so I just had a thought recently about the mane 6 and the Gala ordeal. So -- Applejack's whole goal with going to the Gala was to make money for her family, in order to fix up some things around the farm. Thing is, couldn't Rarity just give her some money, instead of making her a dress? I know Rarity likes making clothes, but it really seems like Applejack's whole motivation could have easily solved by Rarity just giving her some money instead. Yea sure, making her a dress for free is generous, but wouldn't it be more generous for Rarity to just fix Applejack's problem directly? And it's not like she doesn't have the money, Green Isn't Your Color clearly establishes that she splurges money for weekly spa trips with Fluttershy. So she's willing to spend money on expensive spa trips with Fluttershy every week, but not willing to throw a few bits at Applejack for a new roof? Does she just like Fluttershy more than Applejack or something? I've only just now thought of this, and it's bugging the hell out of me. I can't think of any reason why Rarity wouldn't just pay for AJ's roof. It just seems so weird she's willing to pay for spa trips for her friends, but not pay for something a bit more functional, but arguably a lot more meaningful.
I'm starting to think Rarity just doesn't like Applejack as much as she does the other ponies in the group desu.
