I kinda liked the way they've done it with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, because they haven't "found their destiny" yet, and the moral seems to be a little bit less of "follow your heart" and a little bit more of, "be open to new experiences, do what you enjoy, and learn what comes next."

And not everyone's "destiny" was exactly their job. Pinkie Pie realized what she wanted to do was to spend her life making people happy. She works in a bakery, which is a nice start for partying, but she does her "special talent" on her own time.

Rarity's "special talent" doesn't give her any easy outs. In fact, all her special talent does is let her find gems more easily, which is handy, but not even near the top of the list of things that she needs to do for her job. Instead, when the show focuses on Rarity's job, they show the truth--that being an artist of any kind, even a fashion designer and seamstress, can be stressful, requires self-discipline, preparation, hard work, and networking, and that it doesn't always get to be "fun."

There's nothing wrong with telling people to follow their passions. Sometimes, yeah, that won't work out. That's life. It's still better to at least find a passion and try to make something out of it.

this!

I really like that while they show that Rarity can act lazy and spoiled sometimes (like during the camping episode where she brings a comically oversized pack and makes another pony carry it) she also has an incredible work ethic and a couple of episodes show that her job just plain exhausts her sometimes because it takes so much work (she's the only seamstress in her whole shop! holy cow) but she still loves to do it.

I never expected to love Rarity as much as I do, because "the fashionista" character is usually one I loathe.

But she is such a great artist. I take a lot of inspiration from her, as an adult trying to be professional and all. Her staying up late, promising more than she can do, panicking about networking...it's all so familiar. And I love watching a show with a craftsperson (er, pony) who's shown to work really hard at her craft, especially a craft often considered frivolous. It inspires me, and I hope that it inspires young girls just starting out.

I definitely agree with you here. I didn't like Rarity at first but she rapidly became my favorite character in the show

Ohhh me too Rarity reminds me so much of my best friends so she's a top favorite.
