Traveling Rarity Wallpapers


I woke up this morning to find a bunch of Rarity in my inbox.

I dunno if you really understand what that's like to wake up to. Maybe you had a bad day beforehoof. Maybe you didn't sleep very well because your pillow was too hot or the fan was too loud or the cat kept trying kill moths through the window. You wake up the next morning, dazed and bleary-eyed, and decide to take a shower first instead of checking your email. You get back to your terminal, not feeling very awake at all, gather your things for class, and remember that you should probably check to see if anything important happened overnight.

And then Rarity. Dozens of Rarity. Everywhere. Ponyville's (certifiably) best, most dependable pony just filling your inbox like the delicious, magical cream filling of the flakiest and softest chocolate-covered doughnut you've ever tasted. Makes your mouth water, doesn't it?

So. Um. This pony, you see, he took a bunch of wallpapers and added Rarity's rock traveling pose from Cute Mark Chronicles to them. Made me giggle. I just typed that as 'google'. Anyway, have a look.

Bajar said...

Canvas Wolf Doll said...

egad i love these. all that's need to complete the set is a wallpaper of rarity finally at the rock.

Gadvac said...

/rarity mode/ These wallpapers are absolutely divine! /end rarity mode/

Pfft, love 'em.

ninto55 said...

Hmm, these are funny, but I'm more of a Fluttershy guy myself :P Thanks for keeping me up another hour, goodnight guys.

sleepingcobrox said...

Damn smart use of vectors

Mew said...

Well that was different but awesome at the same time. Great WallPapers gonna stick with my Luna one though.

MuffinShy said...

Some of them actually look really great.

Bennimarru said...

@Bajar Just use a Auto Changing Wallpaper program like me, then you can use all of your wallpapers!

mrjoshmacintosh said...

Ok these are so getting to slideshow

a12f0f98-ccfb-11e0-b0d6-000bcdcb471e said...

I can't stop laughing!
I wanted a pony wall paper that wasn't too obvious it was MLP (let's just put it as undercover brony) and I think I may have just found 'em!

David said...

This is probably the best EQD post to date, if not the best thing ever.

Trollestia said...

Oh lord i laughed. It fits perfectly. Also Dashes annoyed face in the first picture is hillarious.

TheLawn said...

I smell a new meme.

Gypsy said...

ahhaha ive been expecting this for quite awhile now, i was wondering when someone was gunna do this

ToonNinja said...

Rainbow Dash looks pretty pissed.

kyokitsune said...

so much lolz in one post my lolz meter broke

Puzzle Plate said...

Around the world, Around the world...

GreatSnapper said...

That made me giggle in a not-at-all-manly fashion. I mean like a little girl would giggle.

Also,how have I never read a Raridash fic? Do they not exist or something? Someone recommend one quick, that picture demands context. It's adorable.

Andrew said...

The last two, the foggy one, and the one with a village on a lake or whatever with Rarity on a dock/bridge were the best ones in my opinion.

Vanner said...

For those of you that don't follow Ponibooru, this meme has hit the image board like a tidal wave.

She's gone everywhere from Green Hill Zone to Lon-Lon ranch. Look for the tag Rariquest if you're interested.

joetraincool said...

This is too funny. Kudos to the creator of this album.

Girom said...

Rarity should've went to the Philippines.

solobutterfly said...

@mrjoshmacintosh

I say add about 5 more images and then they will will be ready to go into a looped slideshow with catchy music.

Psudopod said...

Her face is almost 'Haters gonna hate.'

Laurence Brown said...

My initial thought was, oh great, more Rarity love from Cereal. And then I clicked on 'read more'...

Excellent stuff! Each one was just a little bit funnier than the one before it, especially if you think of them as being taken sequentially. Thanks for sharing Cereal, and I shall doubt you no more! (Even though I still prefer Twilight Sparkle. Love and tolerate and all that other jazz, neh?)

Stormcloud said...

One the bright side, she gets to visit a lot of cool places. The bad thing is, she'll have to find her own way back to Ponyville.

Cody said...

Oh wow.

My feet are hurting just thinking how her hooves are dragging on the ground like that.

Come12and3 said...

This had me laughing so hard! I love it!

Laurence Brown said...

Also, the seventh one down....

The horn dragged her to a different WORLD!!

Gummy said...

poor rarity, she just cant catch a break can she?

ImperialAlicorn said...

Awesome job creator. Made me lol for several minutes.

Syntax_Error said...

*cue the song 'Love Generation'*

D. Shadows said...

I don't know about anyone but her hooves have got to be killing her and ridiculously hot by now considering they've been dragging on the asphalt.

Also Rainbow doesn't look very happy with having her hair and tail braided, not to mention having lipstick on her face.

Autumn Wind said...

Okay, that just made my day. Seriously. I haven't laughed this hard in a few weeks.

Pyron said...

I see a short lived pony meme in the making.

Brian Johnson said...

I've been all around this great world, even to another, but I ne'er saw a lick of it, being attracted to a boulder. (slant rhymes, "~Yay.")

Atiarotias said...

where does the country road lead her to...

ShadowCell said...

where in the world is Rarity Sandiego

Cátsy said...

What? no STONE HENGE or Obelisk or ANYTHING?! This is incomplete! fabulous nonetheless, but still incomplete!

The one with her being dragged through the field of flowers gave me the giggles XD

H3llpon3 said...

Rainbow Dash is not amused.

RobotButterfly said...

(excuse me)
(Applejack is the most dependable of ponies)

kwj said...

where in the world is rarity??

Corkiepie said...

no. 14 is at Stourhead. Funnily enough, the backdrop for the "Amaving horse" video is also Stourhead. If that was intentional, kudos.

RobotButterfly said...

(She even has a trophy to prove it)

Whistle-tall said...

It all seems too unreal... *Flashback to my frontyard, age 11* Magical creatureth must exist, but everyone sayth there's no proof- *Filly Rarity had fallen asleep at that point, and didn't notice me see her get dragged down the street* ...holy cow... *Flash forward to present day* ...Did you all get to see that too? Did you notice my lisp? That's embarrassing, still, that's one less memory repressed!

MedicShy said...

@Whistle-tall

Lisps are a thing to be taken seriously. Don't treat them and you'll end up like Twist, alone and abandoned by her only friend.

Octavia said...

Oh, Lmao. These are priceless. I concur with what someone said above: Rarityquest! These are simply awesome.

Shadow Dragon said...

This should become a meme. In fact, someone needs to do this with Rarity going through famous video game or movie/tv environments. I would love to see a pic of Rarity gliding across the Capital Wasteland or Rapture.

Spiral said...

I would really like to see a video like this... Kind of like the Space Ghost: CTC episode where he follows an ant for 10+ minutes.

TGPFluttershy said...

What a beautiful post. Even if some of those backgrounds look like a collection of shopped Windows wallpaper, I still love the diversity, the colors and the mood of each background.

I find Rarity to be a..."glamorous" enhancement to these photos.

(Why is she becoming a favorite of mine now...?)

Jecht said...

She's like the strutting leo of ponies.

Pyrobug said...

This might be the greatest thing ever.

thatonepony said...

This is so full of win.....

Destroyka777 said...

Daaaawwww! Rainbow Dash looks so cuuuttte! all purtied up and pissed of lookin', lol

James Corck said...

If only I had that dynamic wallpaper changing thing I've seen lately ;.; I guess it's the price to pay for a OS that doesn't glitch Freehand, eh?

Blue fox said...

What? no Windows XP default wallpaper one?

Magmarrax said...

You shoulda called the article "Rarity's Grand Day Out". It's good to see Rarity getting some <3 though :3

Fallin' Winter said...

I want to see them remake the chef boyardee commercial with filly Rarity. I know they did it with a rolling Pinky, but this would still bring a smile to my face.

Luna said...

The dramatic tale of Rarity as she travels around the world, searching for a purpose. Lead only by her horn, what events await her? What adventures will she find?
What does the future hold for her?

Shannon said...

You know, once I get my computer back, Rarity is going on a tour of Atlanta. And it will be glorious.

Whistle-tall said...

@Medicshy I had a lisp when I was younger, I've gone threw all the treatment, and no longer have it. However, because I had a lisp during the time the flashback was displaying, it makes sense that I lisped in the flashback.

Also, thanks for caring. =D

Cyber.Kuriboh said...

This is amazing on slideshow. I wouldnt have just one static for my background but this....this is just too great for words.

Holy_458 said...

I'm having "Brody Quest" flashbacks...

T'laren said...

Okay, I have to admit, this is dang clever. I'm impressed!

Midnight Shadow said...

rariquest.

This...this is hilarious :D

Flameheart said...

This made my night ^^

Lupuleasa Ionut said...

Hey all, I'm the brony who edited the wallpapers.

I wanted to know if you guys like it 'cuz I might make some more. The original Reddit thread is here

http://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/comments/jtxvg/hey_look_what_i_made_for_you_guys_traveling/

It wasn't that hard to make. All of these walls are from wallbase.cc and I think you will see more.

Glad you liked it.

Unknown said...

RARITYQUEST

make it

showmetheblueprints said...

@TheLawn

That is exactly what I thought when I realized how exploitable this is. :D

sarahstoletheworld said...

It almost reads like a story book XD

B-Man said...

Hehe. This is funny/cute.

Also, all of those landscapes are freaking gorgeous! I think #2 most reminded me of the original scene.

K•man said...

Dammit...

Switched to this tab only to gag on my coffee laughing... -_-

Taliesin said...

Waking up with Rarity...

:Q_________________________

Anonymous said...

After ten years with just a black screen as my wallpaper, I think it's finally time to change that to a slideshow of awesomeness.

John said...

Now I want to see an animation of this with "Surrender" by Cheap Trick playing, a la Conan O'Brien.

Solar Flair said...

@Tekaramity Just... total agreement Tek. *brohoof*

It strongly reminds me of this one thing I saw of Mario once. Ah, found it! http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/339397 (The view was weird and tiny, expanding it fixed it.)

Ekevoo said...

For the first time in weeks my wallpaper isn't by Moe. Incredible.

ShoutingRyan said...

Drag Rarity across ALL THE THINGS!

Firleycat said...

Wow, Unicorn magic can be a dick when it wants to be. Either that or it takes "You need to get out more" way too seriously.

Marshall said...

These wallpapers are SO AWESOME!

Ewyndall said...

Traveling Rarity wallapers? Thewhatnow?

*scrolls down*

ROFL XDDDD I laughed so hard xD
I'm so gonna use these, love 'em :D

Icehawk said...

Saw these on ponibooru the other day, very awesome meme and so simple an idea that I am surprised it wasn't done before this.

Anonymous said...

Have a ZIP with all these wallpapers plus the ones posted by m8myself in the reddit thread:

ryan said...

It was deadpooled on knowyourmeme. We can fix that...

Wierdplatformer said...

I'm sorry, the wallpapers are cool, but that Rainbow Dash picture is one of the best I've ever seen. XD

Fractured said...

Brilliant. Pretty pony is best pony.

Xzite said...

bwahaha! awesome :D

EnigmaticThief said...

Rarity invented drifting in Equestria!

Timber said...

Gets around, don't she?

Mike said...

Does this mean that we can submit art to poonibooru with out it getting pushed back pages and pages because of this forced meme?

Namefag Anon said...

>Cute Mark Chronicles
anyway

The Dread Pirate Roberts said...

I sense another version of "Brodyquest" incoming...

ElectricZoNe said...

These are awesome. I have them in a cycling loop in my background.

SomeGuy said...

THis made me smile.

Sotha said...

Wow. Green really isn't her colour.

That being said, these are great pictures, with a hilarious concept.

Artrageous said...

@Lupuleasa Ionut They're awesome, it's a fantastic idea and you did it well. Rarity beats out the Travelling Gnome for me, and I look forward to seeing "her DESTINY" dragging her across more landsapes.

Faaiz said...

This is genius. How did anyone not come up with this sooner?

0d3eb8aa-dbf2-11e0-b870-000f20980440 said...

Great idea, I think the pictures are halarious

tarathemeerkat said...

This is currently my favourite pony meme.

privateD.lister said...

My day? consider it made.
