So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

Preparing the selection of species ~ (Cause I actually have 30+... That's a bit too many for my taste)
Poll at the end
Hello ! I'm caw-rky and I'm doing a MLP AU : Shuffled. In this AU the mane 6 pony-species are shuffled around, events are also shuffled around (episode order finished ! I'm doing summaries to check than I didn't accidentally put too late an episode I need early). Originally I only planned for the mane 6 and pillars to have a necessary shuffle and to shuffle others only depending of if it I want/need to. But it feels a bit like cheating to me... Soooo... Poll time ! (If it is like last time I did one, I litterally had only two votes, so your opinion matter a lot x'DD)).

It's been tooooo long since I did G1 redesign ! Here is Bow-Tie, she is a Earth Pony normally but I learned on http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/G1_Bow_Tie than, in a Peru Pamphlet, she is said to have become a unicorn ! I thought it was a funny thing to keep and I put as many ribbons as I could xDD Oh, also, the white dot are a reference to a design where she has white freckles and than multiple variants of the toy have white ribbons (but Bow Tie has a lot of variant soo yeah)...
Tumblr media
Seashell ! I didn't make many change but I really like how she turned out. I learned than prosthetic aren't really advised in sand too (I wondered about if it was a bad idea and, if my quick google search is to be believed, it is a bad idea).
Tumblr media
Bubbles ! I learned on her mylittlewiki page than she was named by Lemon Drop after she ran into her covered in mud and Lemon Drop cleaned her. So I decided to make her a kid and I find her very cute ! (I love the idea than she loves getting dirty in mud and bath time)

Still not dead x'DD Still working on the episodes order/shuffling. And weeeeell... I was frustrated by the (classic) colorwheel challenge meme not having seven colors, so I decided to make one with seven... then it became 14... And it spiralled out of control xDD The rules I used :
-Max 1h by pony (tried not to go above 45 min but I went beyond it multiple times... For a while I wanted to try and do a prosthetic limb for Twilight (for funsies) but after failing for twenty minutes to sketch it I gave up)
-3 colors only -I had to alernate pillars and mane on the wheel
-Need to change the specie of everyone (used : batpony-pegasus, earth pony-crystal pony, kirin-unicorn and ofc alicorn)
While I don't have stories/adaptations as I had done with my shuffled design (cause it was supposed to just be a quick drawing), just a few things quickly : -yes there is a white spot, I fused my calcs without realizing I had exchanged Rainbow and Rockhoof... -Rockhoof and Rarity are supposed to be crystal ponies (when I was drawing it, it seemed to much more obvious x'DD) -Flash and Sunset looks so alike in this, it wasn't volontary but I find it kinda funny in a way? -I wanted to put an hearing-aid to Stygian to make jokes about him having 'not heard the sirens'. Then I wanted to put the glasses he had in the comic. He also got that green cause it reminded me of alternate-POS (in the comics). -Angel is the rudest (but most adorable) of the service animal -Applejack makes me thing of a shiny charmeleon and idk why My favorites (in order) are : Sunset, Rainbow, Stygian, Flash, Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie Those I'd like to redo are : Somnambula, Rockhoof and Meadowbrook, I honestly made them too fast and they either don't look as good as I'd like or they look at the same time too similar and different from their og designs... Those where I'm 'meh, they aren't too bad, but they aren't great' are : Applejack (like the outfit, but not fond of the coat), Fluttershy (the outfit is too... basic and bright, I'd say?), Mistmane (I didn't use the main color on her, it feels like I cheated...) and Starswirl (the design feels a bit too busy) If someone has advices on how to better 'deal' with those palets (or on how to make good non-human prosthetic), please tell, I'd love to learn about it!! I someone wants to play with the palets/concepts/wheel, don't hesitate to ask ! I will put the blank wheel later on if somebody is interested (cause I fused my calc and I'm feeling too lazy to redo it if no one is interested x'DD)

hello ! Just a little post to say than I'm still alive, still working on shuffled (working on the "episode" order right now). It is taking longer than I thought though I have already begun writing ^^ I hope to begin putting chapters in not too long though uni kinda eat most of my time. May put a few drawing I made in class at a moment ? I don't know yet as most are pretty meh and or beta concepts for characters/concepts. Like an idea I had with Pinkie Clones, but I'm still hesitating since it would be kinda dark but I don't know if it is darker than some things I already said soooo eh, I need to think about it

Just a fun little sketch. I fell back onto some group meme base and wanted to play with it x'DD I imagine than Twilight decided to help the pillars rekindle their friendship with a few games. She probably should have verified if Rainbow hadn't changed a few of the boxes... And if she hadn't put a note saying "cheating is allowed as long as you aren't caught"... The left picture is the beginning of the game (with Mistmane trying to understand the rules, Starswirl who pretends to not understand anything, Stygian who has already ended up in jail despite it being the first turn, Flash winking to the camera and Rockhoof and Somnambula loving the chaos) and the right is the end of the game. Somnambula has gotten drunk (and broke), Flash is commenting to the camera while Mistmane prays for the survival of their friendship after all of this. Rockhoof is screaming to the sky from how badly he lost (you shouldn't have bet dude, after Stygian ended up in jail for the sixth time without ever managing to reach the first case, you should have guessed than someone was cheating). Meadowbrook has embraced insanity (and made an alliance with Starswirl, the big cheater winner of the game !). Stygian has ended up in a cardboard prison since he hasn't been able to do even one full turn without ending in jail. Twilight will have regrets.

Dungeons and ponies
(Disclaimer : There is a lot of reading here but there is also drawings, the drawings are lower in the post so don't hesitate to jump straight to it to avoid the blabbering) Since uni is kicking my behind (well, that and a good old bad cold), I put a hiatus on Shuffled (and have been for a while already). But that's not the subject of this post ! So, Dungeons and Dragons ! The most known system of roleplay than most fan of the genre have played at least once, right ? Not me. I have only played homemade systems since before I could read. But I am a big fan of DnD redesigns and love memes so, what did I do after watching some redesigns on youtube? Well, of course, I drew the pillars ! And since I can't do anything simply, I linked them all to two classes and made a few indications for stats and an idea for a small system to represent the elements. So a few explainations then drawings ! Each pillars are linked to 2 classes (I also have ideas for the mane 6 (7?) but I haven't drawn them yet, dunno if I will) depending of their stories (in the serie and in the comics) and what I felt like doing. Each pillars are linked to a "virtue", virtues are pretty much the equivalent of the elements but there is seven of them and are made to be "usable" for both generation. The concept of virtue is : each virtue corresponds to an ability (for example : faith would rise the critical sucess rate for difficult actions). A virtue being in a party will act on all members of it, having multiple time a virtue will reinforce its effect (two faith would lower the failure rate necessary for an action to be thought as difficult for example) and different virtues would stack on the party (if you have a faith and a diligence, both effects will act on the whole party). If you have six or more of the different virtue, once by session you could use the friendship rainbow lazer. For the stats, since I'm too lazy to try and figure out what level everypony would have, searching how exp works and all, instead there are 5 level existing : low-, low, medium, high, high+. low- is you are pretty much unable to do anything using this stat. Low is lower than the average adult pony. Medium is average. High is higher than average. High+ is "hello I'm pretty much a genius in this field". The pillars have a mean to medium where the mane 6 (and Stygian) would have a mean at low. Now drawings !
Tumblr media
Starswirl is a wizard (pretty obvious why) and a bloodhunter ! To make a very gross summary a bloodhunter is someone who used pretty... unsavory rituals to achieve very powerful blood-related magic (generally in the goal of beating up bad guys). In this, I consider than Starswirl became one to reach stronger magics to fight against the monsters who roam during their times (that far before even meeting the alicorn sisters). I also imagine him now half regretting his choice but also being of the mind of "better me than someone else". His virtue is curiosity. (Also a thing I thought while thinking about it (I will try to keep it short) : isn't it funny than he thought than Stygian was trying to steal the power of the pillars but his last spell, when corrected, allows the caster to reach alicornhood by using the power of 5 other individuals? Imagine the twist it would have been if Starswirl had originally made the spell to become an alicorn (and so immortal) and planned to put the rest of the pillars in limbo until finding a way to make them immortal too to "protect equestria forever". Like, Stygian would have been silent and shocked cause he was in fact sent by Starswirl to make preparatory diagnostics check-up but was thrown under the bus when some of the pillars realized their missing stuff. (Funnily enough, seeing how high in society Starswirl was, even if he planned to keep Stygian, it would have been easy for him to get guards to capture him back so it would barely be annoying for him to have to let Stygian run off). Like during part of the finale, everyone thinks the problem is Stygian taking the artifacts for one thing or another and then you learn than Stygian thought he was allowed since Starswirl asked him to do it and accepted the shadows due to feeling betrayed (possibly even accepting them to escape Starswirl). And I'm beginning to spiral in possibilities soooo next character ! (also, link of the wizard reference : https://www.lolailo.co.uk/ravenloft-chapter-fourty-four-the-journey-back-to-an-illusion/ )
Tumblr media
Rockhoof is a paladin (of the Mighty Helm) and a barbarian ! And his dexterity is low due to a certain episode and charisma has ended up low cause it was the only thing I could lower when I realized his mean was high. His virtue is diligence ! And ref of the viking palading : https://www.deviantart.com/rathnos/art/Ziggeroy-The-Viking-Paladin-or-Vikadin-563177921 .
Tumblr media
Mistmane is a sorcerer (cause her magic is too important for her to not have a magic related class and I thought than wizard was better for Starswirl) and a druid (before thinking for this, I hadn't fully realized how much she is linked to plants). Her virtue is charity ! And old ponies are hard to draw x'DD
Tumblr media
Somnambula is a bard and a monk ! And I tried two color palets cause I wondered how she would look with Ankha's color palet. Her virtue is Faith !
Tumblr media
Meadowbrook is an artificer (mainly for the potion making) and ranger (partially cause Mistmane already had the bard part and also because, Meadowbrook doesn't really have the link with animals and plants I generally imagine druids having? If that makes sense?). Her virtue is Mercy !
Tumblr media
Flash Magnus is a fighter (I originally thought to make him a paladin before thinking than Paladin of The Mighty Helm sounded too good to pass) and a rogue (originally cause I thought it funny since his "elemental descendant" is the element of loyalty) ! His virtue is Bravery (yes, I know, imagination 10/10)
Tumblr media
Stygian is a Cleric (just thought it would be cool for him to have become it to help the pillars) and a Warlock (pretty obvious that one). Yes I imagine him having two patrons pretty much opposite. Just cause I think it would make for very funny interactions with Stygian and both patrons. His virtue is caution. I tried to make the post veeeeeeery quick and short so plz don't hesitate to send ask if interested in this xDD May do the mane 6 and/or young 6 one day. Or not. Idk yet? Will take a while either way so have a nice daaaay !

Of Ponies and Their Shadows
Equestria is a place of many creatures, most of them living during the day but there are some creatures of dark. Some simply preferring to live under the shine of the moon and other unable to wander under the brightness of the sun. Here we are going to talk about three types of shadow-creatures which can link themselves to daydwellers. --------------------------- Umbra Pony
Tumblr media
Umbra ponies are named this way due to the possession of an Umbra. Umbras are creatures generally living in the depth of the earth inside of natural caves. Those shadows links themselves to weaken individuals (unicorns having lost their horn, immuno-compromised ponies, every-so-often another kind of creatures but ponies are the most commonly touched) and uses their bodies as puppets to do their binding. Umbras tends to darken the coat of their host. Sometimes the host can make some resistance to the parasite but the longer the possession last, the harder it is to save the possessed. A bath of purifying water is generally the best remedy but can be unsufficient. Numerous alternative treatments have been thought of by different scholars but few are the umbra ponies which are captured alive as the parasite prefer to take its host with it despite the bath not killing nor damaging the Umbra from what the few studies found. -------------------- Shade
Tumblr media
Shades are also shadow creature using an host but, contrary to Umbras, they have a symbiotic relation to their host. The host and the creature talks together and the host stays in control of their body. Shades are also far rarer and what little is known about them has been told by shades making their veracity doubted in some circles. Shades are extremely possessive and protective of their host, for a long time the host and their creatures were chased by Shadow Hunters. Those people generally considering the shades and umbras as the same creature with just one being more manipulative than the other. The hunt of shades and of umbras has been forbidden only six centuries ago. Shades pretends they link themselves to creatures which are as lonely as them and which lack the strength to live on their own. No host has ever been registered as having survived a forced separation. Report indicates than shades can separate themselves from their host if they wish to. --------------------- Tantabus
Tumblr media
The Tantabus is a very different kind of creature from the previous two due to its uniqueness and deniable existence. Tantabus isn't a specie but an individual creature. It's living space is also very different due to its origin being the dream realm. The Tantabus is thought to be the ruler and bender of nightmares and its presence was discovered by the young princess of the Moon about a thousand years ago. Some theories on the old tale of the two sisters pretends than Tantabus could be what changed the younger sister, possibly an umbra, making her believe than people didn't appreciate her nights. Some pretends it could be a leftover from her, a monster made to force ponies out of their dreams to see her nights and than the report is a falsified document. Some, refusing to admit the existence of the younger princess due to Princess Celestia only talking about having had a younger sister and not than there was a second princess, think it is just another tale to scare foals with. Another threat for unruly filly and colt. When asked about the subject, Princess Celestia refused to comment.

4/4 first - prev
The pillars are a legendary hypothetical group of heroes. A few old files dating from before the sisters reign have been found on the group but were heavily redacted from before the separation of Equus and Equestria. Only hypothesis can be done on its role and members. From what scholars have deciphered, Starswirl the Bearded seems to have been involved in a way or another as most redacting have been registered as being of his doing. Princess Celestia has indicated her lack of knowledge about any group her old mentor could have been a part off aside from the solar mages. --------------------------- Originally I tried another style soooo, little bonus !

3/4 prev - next Somnambula is a unicorn who comes from the homonymous desert. It is actually unknow if she was named after the place or if the place was named after her. Most historians thinks she is a fictive character.
The tale of Somnambula is classical from the region, the story of the young unicorn who went and saved the pharaoh from a terrible Sphinx but lost her sight to the creature after managing to answer its riddle. Despite no proof of the existance of Somnambula being ever found, most habitants of Somnambula insist on the existance of the mare. The closest thing to a proof of her existance is a letter talking about the story by the pharaoh, alas translation is difficult due to the state of the paper as it was partially burned. Some historians pretends than proof of her existance or non-existance may be found inside the pharaoh's room in the pyramid. Though those ponies tends to be badly seen by the community after having mistaken pharoahs and having announced her existance due to a vase done about the story, thinking it had been done at the time of the story. The vase was, in fact, two hundred years too recent. ---------------
Tumblr media
Rockhoof is a unicorn from a volcanic island at the edge of Equus and Equestria. Despite the stereotypes about unicorns, Rockhoof wasn't any kind of scholar or even a good magician. He is of the type of unicorns often forgotten but his existance was proved thanks to his file in the Mighty Helm. The Mighty Helm was originally a subdivision from the EPA which separated from the EPA, becoming it's own little force. It is mainly known as one of the first known group which allowed ponies of different kinds to fight together. The most known tale about the stallion is the following : Rockhoof was a particularly weak colt when he was young. Generally, weak bodied unicorn became scholars or planners but not Rockhoof. The young stallion trained again and again for years, slowly building strenght and muscle. Though the strength he is now known for only appeared while his town was in danger due to the volcan erupting. Rockhoof took his shovel and managed to dig and deep trench in only moments as in face of the danger he accepted than he was neither a failed unicorn to prefer physical activity nor a failed earth pony for not being born an earth pony and having horn magic. Despite the disparition of both the Mighty Helm and the town, Rockhoof is a classical figure to see in foal-section classroom or in museum. There are also a few games which were inspired by his story. ------------------------
Tumblr media
Mistmane is a pegasus mare from the lost pegasi empire of Poneon. Her existance is doubted at best by most historians despite her name being used to describe a type of mane replacement and a medical condition. If the tale is too be believed, young Mistmane was one of the most beautiful mare of her time with a lustruous fur, magnificient mane and shining feathers. But the young mare was also an adventurer and a friend of the princess of Poneon, a small pegasus touched by naked foal syndrom, a fatal condition. To give the bed-ridden filly a taste of the world despite it, she went and traveled accross the world for years, allegedly bringing beauty and peace with her. But when she went back home, she discovered than her friend's parents, in a desperate try to make their daughter happy and experience travel, forced most of her town to bring and do exotic things for the sick filly. The young princess hating the suffering endured for her despite loving the attention and unable to convince her parents than they don't need to make people suffer to try and make her last few years better. Mistmane, having explored the world, had also discovered multiple magic and 'broke' the disease in two, losing all of her hair to allow her friend's to grow and make her healthier. Horrifying her friend as by doing so, she had lowered her own life expectancy. The tale finishing on a cautionary notes explaining than even when you want the best for someone, you have to ensure their consent to the act. If the story is true, no one is certain of what happened to either the princess, the Emperor family or Mistmane after this story.

2/ ? prev - next
Meadowbrook is a bat-pony from the bayou. History remembers her as an a legendary healer. Multiple artifacts and remedies have been named after her even after her alleged death. Historians are still debating about her existance though there are alleged descendants still living in a bayou who pretends than they are living on the same ground as their ancestors. It would seem surprising since, if the legends are correct, she came from Equus which is now under the snows of the now Great Frozen North. The most important tale known about Mage Meadowbrook is the tale of the swamp fever, it is sometimes told in medicals school as an example of taking inspiration of the nature to search of new remedies. That tale is alas not very known of the main public. "If Meadowbrook was a real pony, it is unknown how much of our knowledge of plants and how many remedies we would have to thank her for." - Carbon Crypt, historian --------------------
Tumblr media
Flash Magnus was a recruit of the Earth Pony Army, his origin are unknown. His existance is known due to his presence on the EPA registries. If there are tales of unproved origin, multiple stories can be found in reports. Some are believed to be exagerated and there are probably tales which had a report which got destroyed during the great library fire. The most known story is of his temporary inclusion in the Pegasi Army. It is well known now than earth ponies tended to be seen as inferior by some members and institutions of Equus. This story is a reminder of how wrong it is to think like this. The short version of the story is : the young stallion had been stationned in a town near the migratory roads of dragons. One of those decided to make a turn to the town to steal the crystals from their crystal farms before having a 'nap' in a cave nearby. The carbon the dragon would have emitted would have been toxic to the ponies. The EPA, being considered useless against a dragon due to its flying ability, was told to help the town evacuate for the battle about to happen between dragon and PA. The PA got beaten and as they were about to be burned to a crisp, Flash, using his intensive physical training, managed to reach them and use one of the discarded shield to protect the fallen pegasi. After, with a more or less impressive fight depending of the versions, he managed to get the final hit by climbing on the dragon and hitting him with the shield. From differents reports, it seems than from that day forward, Flash Magnus kept the shield and continued to use it in battles. Some pretends than the shield was modified and/or became an artifact while some insists than it was just a regular shield.
This shield is now exposed in different military museum and, sometimes schools, depending of the moment.

1/? next Starswirl the bearded : alicorn of magic Starswirl is the first pony to ever reach alicornhood on his own mean. Son of the royal sorcerer of the time, he grew isolated in the palace of the old unicorn capital, the Crystal City. Learning all he could about magic, he was tasked very young to search for a way to beat the windigoos or warm up the grounds of Equus. Becoming the greatest magician of his time, he was the teacher of numerous talented unicorns, notably the famous Clever the Clover who became the teacher of the last unicorn princess. Though his most famous disciples were Celestia and Luna, who became the alicorn sisters. His wearing of bells is actually due to the last unicorn king who ordered him to wear them after scaring him multiple times with his untimely silent appearance. The bells never managed to stop him from surprising people. His becoming an alicorn happened thanks to his research of the unity magic discovered by Clever the Clover. He disappeared mysteriously a few years before the break between the new found Equestria and Equus. The habitants of the new-found territories wishing for a new government planned for all ponykind instead of multiples smaller ones working together. Equus alas disappeared in the years following due to the windigoos, becoming the Great Frozen North which, even to this day, is fulled of ruins of the previous pony civilizations. The only city which survived being the ancient unicorn capital, renamed at the time the Crystal Empire, which developped partially underground under the rule of the last unicorn king who offered his heart to his kingdom to offer it the warmth it needed to survive. At the very least, it is what history remembers. ------------
Tumblr media
Stygian is an earth pony of a little seaside town. The town, which name has been forgotten, is sometimes used as an example of the deadtowns from the very beginning of Equestria. Sometimes named Seahorse Side, this very small town barely reached the few dozens habitants at its biggest. Its proximity with the sea made the grounds around extremely salted and difficult to grow crops from. The lack of monetary means of the little city prevented them from paying for weather control from pegasi or help from the unicorns. The big mystery of Seahorse though is that a few reports were found of sudden help to the town despite no hint of payment ever being found. Some historians have heard of this name due to the mystery around him. No one knows of his link to that town. The only known thing about him is his sudden appearance in Starswirl's related documentation before disappearing a few days before the alicorn. No documents were found explaining who or what he was, only that he got examined by doctors of the capital. A notebook about different kinds of monsters is sometimes linked to him due to its presence amongst Starswirl's possessions despite not having his horn-writing nor any of his known disciples. Studies of the writing revealed than it was writing by hoof which is really unsual on unicorn-ground. Some of the hypothesis are than he may have been a charity-case with a non-fonctionning horn and an accident happened with whatever cure the wizard tried. Another, preferred by the public despite being considered highly unlikely by expert is than he may have been a love-child of Starswirl with a pegasus or earth pony mare who died young, his death somehow convincing the alicorn to begin some kind of travel due to his grief. Most historians though kind of ignore his presence, considering than he is of no importance or possibly some kind of jokes due to no proof of his existance ever being found.

The little comic above is what I remembered the episode to be like It was, in fact, a bit different. I remember than I hated this episode the first few times I saw it (the first time I began mlp I stopped somewhere in season 1 cause I really didn't like some episodes). Now, I really liked the first part of the episode but really didn't like the second part (pretty much from the moment where everyone knows than Twilight has the ticket and begins to fight for it).
Season 1 Episode 3 : The Ticket Master : Note : 2.5/5
Twilight and Applejack are walking together as the unicorn is helping Applejack with her chores. Spike is on her back complaining about being hungry when he recieve a letter from Celestia. Twilight has gotten 2 tickets to the galloping gala. Spike refuse the second ticket because it is "girly". Applejack says she'd like to go to sell apple-product for the farm. Twilight is about to accept when Rainbow fall from the sky (having refused to help Applejack because she wanted to nap) and says than she should go to try and impress the wonderbolt. The two are about to fight and Twilight goes off, telling them she will choose by the end of the day. She meets all members of the mane 5, each giving a reason why they want to go (Rarity : getting seen by Celestia and marrying her nephew. Fluttershy : Meeting the rare flaura and fauna from the garden where the gala is held. Pinkie : she thinks the gala is a gigantic party). Twilight stress out and tells them to leave her alone to choose. Each try to do things for her to convince her to choose them. Finally Twilight breaks down, all mares apologizes (with convincing in Rainbow's case) and she send back her tickets. Celestia sends back a ticket for each of the mare and one for Spike. Pros : - The first part of the episode is quite good with the illusions of each of the mane 5 about what the gala is. Cons : - Twilight doesn't make any remark about the reasons of her friends despite some being dangerous for them -Twilight finds all the reaons "just as good" despite some being quite worse than others. -All the reasons are pretty bad/irrealistic -Some characters acts kinda out-of-character -why did Celestia not send a ticket for each of the mane 6 since her goal was to get Twilight to learn friendship? If this was a lesson/test for Twilight -why did Spike not recieve a ticket directly? If he had immediatly accepted the ticket, there wouldn't have been a lesson to have. -why has Spike not recieved an offer to get a +one too? -why doesn't Twilight makes any remark about it being unpolite to ask for more tickets? -isn't it irrespectful to refuse an invitation if ALL your friends don't go with you?
Why are all of the mane 5 reasons bad in the worst to best order (in my opinion) : -Rainbow Dash : Rainbow Dash litterally wants to burst during the wonderbolt prestation and steal the spotlight from them. The Wonderbolts are less artists than military from what we know. Please Rainbow don't get arrested during season 1 for disturbing what is probably close to a military show. -Applejack : You can't just go and sell your product in a gala (or any kind of official festivities) without a permit (generally for a fee). Also, asking to go to a gala with a friend to do your business sounds kinda rude. I would absolutely be annoyed if I invited a friend to a party and they ditched me to sell their stuff. Also, please Applejack don't get thrown out of the gala and/or arrested for selling things with a permit during an official private gala. -Rarity : Celestia already saw you Rarity, she won't simp for you to the point of giving you her nephew to marry. The only reasons you aren't higher is because you at least don't plan something probably illegal or that will get you thrown out. -Pinkie Pie : Pinkie please, not all festivity is a party-type festivity. The only problem of your reason is how it is obvious you have no idea what the galloping gala really is like. The only reason your reason is directly bad is that Twilight makes no remark. As Celestia's student, she should be able to guess than it won't be a funny-type event and more a serious-type, connexion-type event. -Fluttershy : Rare fauna and flora exclusive to the park where the event happens? It is a private festivity so honestly, pretty realistic... Sad but logical. The problem though is, as an animal expert, Fluttershy should be able to guess than with a party near, most animals should be stressed and scared and not up to talking. (Well, except if Equestria has a big culture of keeping a quiet place during festivity for overstimulated people to go and recuperate during the party. Would be cool if it is the case though)

Applejack is a bat-pony from Sweet Apple Acres, second child of an Apple and a Pear, she was the first non-earth-pony from the farm. Due to this, Applejack had a bit of trouble finding her place at first. She could fly to the trees to get the fruits directly, but she couldn't just shakes the trees like her siblings. Finally, it is during a storm than she found her calling, when a storm sent her flying in the sky and she landed on zap-apple tree-cloud, discovering their origin. The trees being in a bad state due to flying through the Everfree forest most of the time, she brought one back to the far where she is, even now, learning how to care for them to bring them back to their former glory. She cares for two trees at the moment (Clarabel and Mirabel), whose cloud are tied to the barrier of her room. --------------

(I realize now I forgot her mark...) Fluttershy is a very caring unicorn living near the Everfree Forest. She is also a veterinary apprentice at Ponyville, ponies who searches help with... peculiar animals generally go to her due to her love of all creatures and critters. Extremely shy, everypony knows to warn her at least a day in advance if it isn't an emergency. She bears multiple scars from her earlier days near the Everfree when she loved nature more than she respected it. She got the worst of them the same day as her mark, when she tried to care for a wounded bear than, even now, lives with her. The creature got scared due to a mysterious event and hit her before apologically licking her wound.
Her parents and younger brother moved after the incident and, while she came back as soon as she became an adult, they never came back to Ponyville. She knows the events really hurt and moved them, notably her little brother who became more cautious and worried even if he refused to admit it. She has never been able to explain to them why she decided to come back and why she never felt angry at the bear. It is probably why their contact has become relatively minimal with the years.

Rarity is an artistic earth pony from Canterlot. Accidental daughter of a lady and adopted-daughter of a lord, she lived in a very unicorn-centered environment. Loving dramatics, she calls herself a drama-queen and can certainly play the role. On the otherside, she is a very responsible mare who can often feel older than she is. She loves experimenting with different art styles, forms and medias. Despite having found her mark when a rainbow reflected on some of her creation (of the dress variety), she hasn't fully decided of what to do in her life yet. She is thinking of opening an art shop to sell her creations of all kind but hasn't found yet where to install herself.
