I sure do compile a lot of stuff these days. At least we know it will still be possible to run hourly if/when content dies on our journey to Season Two. Though I admit, I do just sort of dump whatever into PMV posts these days. I apologize for that. It's really difficult to review those. In fact, I might grab some PMV reviewers to go with my pre-readers some time.
Anyway I went off on a tangent again. Have some comics.

WAHAHA!~
ReplyDeleteA pair of winners.
ReplyDeleteThe Rarity one was amazing. An interesting take on her character that didn't feel false to me.
and then rarity was archer.
ReplyDeleteThose were cute. The first one was like a very detailed storyboard for an animated short! Well done!
ReplyDeleteThat Rarity comic. That comic is so close to converting me to Rarity is best pony-ism. BUT I WILL HOLD STRONG!
ReplyDeleteSecond comic made me d'aww at how cute it is. I love comics with Luna and Celestia when they aren't fighting.
On #2, "Sis, you have get up!" TYPO FAIL!!!
ReplyDeleteReally cute and well drawn stories :)
I always picture Rarity being that kind of pony :3
ReplyDelete>Elegant snore
ReplyDeleteVery cute comics.
And then Celestia banished Luna to the moon. The end.
ReplyDeleteYet another reason I love this fandom. It produces joy in such simple, small, yet fulfilling doses.
ReplyDeleteThat Rarity one looks amazing. It really feel true to her character as well.
ReplyDeleteHunchback Luna...
ReplyDeleteWow, both those comics were completely awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh God, I love the Rarity one far too much. Trust her perfectionism to shine through even in a task like archery. It's a neat-looking bit of magic, too.
ReplyDeleteThe second one is cute. Luna can raise the sun too!
From when Rarity realeases the arrows and she surrounded by the swirls is a pic you could make a very pretty BG from
ReplyDeletethat rarity one was really good
ReplyDeletescrunchy face rarity is cute
and the other one well i'll just say *elegant snore*
One thing I have to say I love about Rarity is I absolutely love her Laugh lol. Was pretty neat, she can make fashion out of archery as well lol.
ReplyDeleteLuna and Tia comic is really really cute... I think we should try to convince Hasbro / Producers to make Tia an official Nickname to Celestia BTW!
Not sure what I just saw, but I liked it, a lot!
ReplyDeleteWell Rarity is a war hardened soldier...
ReplyDelete<_<
>_>
>_<
anyways i like that Luna/Celestia comic
*Elegant snore* XD love it!
ReplyDeleteBut Mythbusters proved it wasn't possible to split arrows like that!
ReplyDelete...oh wait. Equestria. The same place were pegasi can fly.
Carry on, then.
@Anonymous
ReplyDelete>implying pegasi have to be in Equestria to be able to fly
Both are extremely fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWonderful comics ^^
ReplyDeleteWAHAHA!~ quite XD
oh my god I just noticed Rarity's cutie mark was glowing when she released her second arrow.
ReplyDeleteDamn, this artist is good.
insanity overload from cuteness
ReplyDeleteAs an archer myself, I approve of archer Rarity. :D
ReplyDeleteIn the words of the amazing Twilight Sparkle, "Yes! Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!"
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, that Rarity comic. I already had a similar idea about how she could use her talent in more... robust capacities. Better get off my lazy rump and get started on that fic 'fore somepony pre-empts me. Though I admit, those little gemstone arrows are a lot more refined that what I have her using; I hadn't even thought about archery. Also, that scrunchy face was too sublime for words.
ReplyDeleteSecond comic was sweet, even though I wasn't entirely sure what was going on or why, the "elegant snore" made it for me.
Wow that was a biiig break, from epic/quality Awesome Comics, glad these two came along =)
ReplyDeleteRarity could totally be a spy or robin hood :D can't wait till season 2, i wonder if they'll put more reasons for rarity to be awesome ^^
ReplyDeleteBoth are very cute.
ReplyDeleteAnd the first one, oh god, I love Rarity even more (I thought it was not possible).
Both of those were really adorable and well done.
ReplyDeleteDaaaaaw, nice trolling.
ReplyDeleteGetting a malicious site warning for 2nd comic.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, just awesome. The Luna comic is so adorable. :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the Rarity one, She's beginning to take Fluttershy's place as my favorite Pony
ReplyDeleteOh lawdy that Rarity one. The art was superb along with the story
ReplyDeleteAnd then Rarity successfully made her way into my heart.
ReplyDeleteAlso snoring Celestia is cute and so is happy Luna.
All is right in the world.
Ahhhhh everytime I see something centered around a particular pony I can't help but to think that she's the best pony.
ReplyDeleteI can totally imagine Rarity doing archery, it just fits her so perfectly. To me she's like an elegant, proper Victorian lady that isn't afraid to beat you senseless with an umbrella if you fail to be a gentleman. Not even Applejack can kick a manticore in the face, declare it a ruffian, and look so friggin fabulous all at the same time.
Also, the second comic is super d'aww, I do oh so love happy Celestia/Luna pics!
These are epic and I encourage the artists to make more. That is all.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteAll Adam & Jamie proved was that it's beyond a realistic difficulty to split-shot arrows.
It's not impossible. I've seen it with my own two eyes. And it was dumb luck as well. This dude's like, 5th grade son was practicing up at the field, and all of a sudden, everyone (really more about all of 6 people) looked over at the sound of a *THCKX*.
Cheap rental arrow, split down the middle 3 or so inches away from the tip itself. Kid did it.
I'll never forget the way that black dude said "motherfu-cker" lol.
I myself have never replicated it. NO matter how much I try, luck beats skill & science in the land of the improbable.
Of course, Rarity is best pony, so she has perfect accuracy because she can.
Also, sweet trollestia is best trollestia.
Both of those comics are great.
ReplyDeleteI love both of these! The first is beautiful and quite believable for Rarity's character. The second is cute, and I love how Celestia purposefully stayed asleep to get Luna to raise the sun herself. <3
ReplyDeleteA tea cup? A tea cup! Why Rarity would use tea cup for champagne?
ReplyDelete...anyway that comics was impressive.
I've been seeing this everywhere and it's been bugging me;
ReplyDeleteWhy is everyone using "breath" when they mean "breathe"??!?
Love, love the Rarity one.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteFudge, I knew something was off. Oh well, I'll keep an eye out for things like from now on.
I- OH MY GOD! THAT WAS SO AWESOME! The firt one especially! All my money! TAKE IT ALL!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these comics are pure gold.
ReplyDeleteRarity being an archer does seem to match her character. Archery is a perfectionist's sport that takes a keen eye and attention to detail. This was a very interesting take on the use of magic having her form the bow out her magic instead of using a physical bow. This was also a unique take on the whole "split an arrow in two" gimmick. THe art was fantastic and I alway like the use of non-traditional pannel changes in comic strips.
Comics with Celestia and Luna are always filled with pure undiluted Daaaww. I was sold at "elegant snore." Of course Celesita would not snore like some common pony, who do you think she is. And when I saw her open her eye all I could think was "Celestia you clever little sneak."
I LOVE THIS FANDOM!
#2- *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!* This is TOO adorable.
ReplyDeleteA skill like archery would seriously improve Raritys character making her at least a little bit more 3 dimentional.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous Rarity already has a three-dimensional personality in my opinion, and it was her personality that led me to pick archery, not the other way around.
ReplyDeleteYes, as the Diamond Dogs have already discovered, Rarity is secretly a badass. If you hear those three little words, "it...is...ON!" run. Just...run.
ReplyDeleteThe art on the first one is AMAZING. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteAnd Rarity being badass is a plus

ReplyDeleteShe was also first up to give a certain manticore a face full of hooves. Rarity is elegant... but no shrinking violet!
Is it wrong that I heard little rail-gun noises when Rarity fired off that arrow?
ReplyDelete1) Archery is certainly an elegant enough hobby to make a plausible pastime for Rarity - and I was intrigued by the use of an entirely thaumaturgical "bow" - clever!
ReplyDelete2) Celestia teaches ponies lessons while SNORING (elegantly). Princess or not, she truly is the Queen of Benevolent Trolling.
Rarity has an awesome hobby. The art is incredibly well detailed and the quiet moment alone motif gives the comic a very sophisticated feel to it. A+
ReplyDelete@Purple Prose
ReplyDeletenope
also her accuracy was demonstraded in the pillow fight with AJ
plus shes an awesom pony
(Top Pony Fan)
@20percentcooler I'm an archery enthusiast as well, and I must say it's a good thing they have magic, because Robin Hooding is nearly impossible, let alone to that degree of perfection. But yeah, I can see Rarity doing so, it is an elegant sport.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that the Diamond Dogs were originally pitched as being jive-talking, bling wearing gangstas, but that idea was quickly shot down in favor of their eventually more Gollum like personalities. I guess it was just a bit touchy to have the Whitest Pony in Show (Applejack? pffffftt!) outsmart a couple bruthas in da hood...
ReplyDeleteArcher Rarity is awesome, and should be persistently supported as fanon until it becomes canon!
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI agree. Rarity being an archer (at least as a hobby) should have a following. *gets on board*
@Exploding_Guy
ReplyDeleteI love the extra artistic detail that her energy 'bow' even takes on a diamond shape :D
Part 1? As in "Part 1", Part 1!? Does that mean more of Rarity (about 20% cooler), or further spotlights into the lives of each of the Mane Six (about 120% cooler)??
I don't get why the last arrow has a rose on where it's feathers should be.
ReplyDeleteThis post just gave me diabeetus.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous 9:54 Yeah, I would have been one angry Zebra if they actually went with the original pitch. Everything they did with Zecora and understanding would have been out the window.
ReplyDeleteAlso, someone needs to make scrunchy face Rarity it's own pic so I can make it my avatar.
The first one was fantastic.
ReplyDeleteSecond was adoreable but really, the Rarity one was ingenius and I really loved the style.
Marvelous. Simply marvelous.
ReplyDeleteRarity is best pony. Luna and Tia are the pure essence of d'aww.
WA HA HA~~
ReplyDelete#1- Robin Hood ain't so HOOD anymore
ReplyDelete#2- I prefer Princess Digestia over Tia
(HuffytheMagicDragon)
@aramaru
ReplyDeleteQuoted for total truth.
The Rarity one is amazing, can't wait to see more.
Rarity vs. Gaston.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, somebody needs to do this.
LOVE the Rarity one, it would great if the writers gave her some sort of additional interesting past-time like that. Something elegant that she likes that also helps her keep her fine magic skills tuned.
ReplyDeleteRarity's archery skills need to be in the Fighting is Magic game!
ReplyDeleteTwo awesome comics... but Rarity is an archer? Oo
ReplyDeleteand then Trixie shows up with her own arrows and the robin hood men in tights plot starts and for some, hilarity ensues.
ReplyDeleteZOMFG love the rerity one!!!!
ReplyDeletewho is the artist!!!

Rarity is Hawkeye! Then Rainbow Dash must be Thor!
