Secretly, Dash is one of those "I'm so ugly girls" - very deliberately doing something to appear endearing while denying she's doing so.

I don't think should we default into thinking someone's being manipulative, body esteem issues are extremely common.

Well yes, that is true - though fishing for compliments is not unheard of despite.

Dash doesn't really strike me as the type to have body issues, though. Though, She could easily be simply unaware of how adorable she is. Or attractive, in-universe I suppose.

Dash is a highly efficent gifted athlete, if anything, body issues are an alien concept to her.

Does the idea of attractiveness exist in-universe?

They have models, so almost certainly.

That, and Rarity seems pretty content to gush over guys without knowing all that much about them, so...

It's implied Rarity and Fluttershy are considered highly attractive. Word of God says that Rarity and Fleur were meant to be highly attractive in-Universe.

Post of the Day #710

To be honest, if I met someone named Rarity in real life, my first thought would be that she's a spoiled brat whose parents treated her like a little princess.

In other words, the kind of person I used to wish I was

Much smaller than the Build-a-Bear plushies, also with less messy manes :3

The Sweetie Plush is precious and I should like the opportunity to have one.

Also I bet someone out there outfitted a Sweetie plushie with animatronics and some AI to make themselves a Sweetie Bot.

Ace: Considering earth ponies are strong enough to pull trains at high speeds, that part didn't really surprise me so much as the idea that someone other than Pinkie owns a crazy ass helicopter thing.

@Kuroi: That suggests there's a bunch of other oddball pony engineers out there in the rest of Equestria.

Maybe she borrowed the helicopter from RD. Or was it AJ who had the helicopter?

I can't quite recall who had the helicopter in the toyline, but my instinct says it was Pinkie :V AJ had the truck, Rarity had a scooter, and Sweetie commandered the dessert car from the Friendship Express.

Pony's not as anvilicious about To Sell Toys as the brother franchise Transformers, where Cybertronians regularly job to the Gimmick Power of the Week, or get killed by the script so that the latest guy from this month's catalogue can take his place on the show. At least Animated didn't go overboard with that kind of thing, although they made the show's transformations almost 1-for-1 accurate with the toys, right down to Bumblebee having a pseudo-hood torso design because his vehicle mode actually has a bigger form than his robot mode chest.

The only one I'd say was really obvious was the Breezies. Normally they do a good job of working it into the storyline.
