The grammar seems to have taken a hit in the last few pages.

That’s a different issue. At this moment, she seems to be into Blueblood quite a lot, whether or not that’s because of his looks, his status, or a combination thereof.

After all, Spike’s crush on her is all down to Rarity being pretty, for example, and I doubt anypony would argue he’s not into her.

@Starswirl
This is still S1E1 Rarity, who has that naive dream of meeting “her prince” and becoming his treasured princess in a fairy tale like scenario. She has only heard of him but never met him or any of those guys. She’s getting exited because of that fantasy. It’s about the concept, not about him as a person.
When she met him she found him attractive but realized they weren’t compatible and that fantasy went poof.
So no, she is indeed not into Blueblood.

How do ponies figure Rarity isn’t into Blueblood? She singles him out among the “princes of canterlot”, calls him a great bachelor, and blushes brightly as she mentions him.

lovely work on a lovely mare

are those fangs? is she part dragon? is that why she is called ‘cold blooded twilight’?

Soo much dialogue..
But that’s a very cute hairstyle for Twilight. Also, fangs XD

When I said “her” connection to … , I was referring to Twilight, not Rarity. I guess quoting the entire line made that a bit muddy.
Well, Rarity’s behavior was a tad questionable, but gold digger is a bit too harsh.
She had that naive dream of “glamour and sophistication”. True, she would’ve gotten those things because of her chosen stallions money and social standing, but a fairy tale like romance was part of her dream. When Blueblood acted like a jerk and she realized they weren’t compatible, she re-evaluated her priorities. Not what a true gold digger would’ve done. The opposite actually. But they could’ve handled that scene a bit better. On the other hand no-one acted like a role model that evening and maybe that was the whole point. but I haven’t watched that ep in a while

@Background Pony #627F
There was blame enough for both.

@protator
Well, it was not that complicated in the canon version.
In my eyes Rarity was clearly behaving like a gold digger, she did not give a darn about him as a person, only his title, influence and money seemed to interest her…

And then people branded Prince Blueblood as the bad guy…. :D :)

I doubt that. The circumstances and his reasons would have to be quite the complex mess.
He should be fully aware of her connection to Celestia, Cadance and Shining Armor.
Physically attacking her, personally or by proxy, would be social suicide if not worse.

@Spoonlol
Well, lesser nobility makes a lot of sense in most AUs and even the canon.

Two kids with above average magical ability…could be a bloodline thing or mere coincidence,
but their parents must have a decent amount of money and connections. Living in Canterlot can’t be cheap and Shining isn’t that much older than Twi, yet he made it to cpt of the royal guard at such a young age. Looks like something accelerated his career. And Twi got into what has to be the most prestigious and expensive school in EQ. Not to mention her private quarters. She didn’t commute from her parents home in Canterlot, she didn’t live in a small somewhat nicely furnished room in the palace, she f#ing got an entire building on the palace grounds. That level of special treatment, even as Tia’s protege, would probably result in a lot of complaints and friction at school if she was just a little peasant girl. She must’ve had a stronger shield than just being Tia’s favorite.
And Shining’s relationship with Cadance would also be much easier to defend before jealous nobles if he wasn’t just a regular grunt. After all at the time Cadance was literally EQ’s crown princess.
In most medieval settings/stories only nobles or military ranks equal to “knight” or higher are allowed to marry royalty. At least not without affecting their spouse’s position in the line of succession. So Shining becoming an elite soldier and quickly rising to the position of a high ranking commander was probably Tia’s way of protecting her little girl’s relationship. It all fits together neatly with no major contradictions. It’s my default head canon.

@protator
It’s either that they’re all connected to royalty in this AU or that it’s just an honorary title.
Many people have liked the idea that Twi’s family are lesser nobility, it’s why they have all the connections

@Wayneponeth
Blueblood here is part of the “Family” not part of the old Noble blood.

Rarity isn’t into Blueblood here like in the canon is she? What if he was the one that attacked Twilight? I wonder if he counts as a noble. He is gonna be so fucked if he met this version of Rarity.

Also somehow Twilight is still menacing with those fangs and her eyes, even though the new mane style makes her look really cute.

your comic is so beautiful and awesome!

You managed to make BlueBlood stylish and interesting.

Is that a single braid or is she sporting twintails? Hard to see what Rarity did with the other half of her mane.
The colored strands of her mane not properly crossing looks a bit off, but it still looks awesome.

@Spoonlol
Obviously one of the “prime mages”. Gee. Since when are Twi’s parents royalty?
Blueblood’s house is the only one with a royal bloodline going back to princess Platinum … but even he isn’t actually royalty. It’s either an honorary title with no claim to the throne or simply his over the top full name. Can’t remember if they clarified that part.

Twi’s mane looks gorgeous. Also this means Shining is a prince?

Agreeing with Twilight here, Rarity did amazing work on her mane!
