Her heart must be beating rapidly.
 
Oh wait.

Rainbow Dash: “Score!”

@Background Pony
 
Whatever Dude. If that’s literally the only thing you took from my comments, cool.

Who ever said anything about liking it or not liking it? Lol defensive much

“can never be written”
 
Seriously…Bullshit.

@Background Pony
 
I’ve written one myself, and I’ve read “the time we have now” which kept them pretty much in character thoughout.
 
Plus shipping in and of itself will always take characters out of character to some degree. I’ve (as well as quite a few others) just given several reason as to how it can work.
 
And once again. Don’t like it, leave.

RariDash can never be written without one or both of them coming across as completely OOC… I’ve tried reading many, many fics and have yet to find one that doesn’t have that problem.

Because I outright said I hated this ship.
 
I just stated that I’d like more underrated ships.

@Trotsky
 
Don’t like it, go right ahead and leave.

..y’know it’ll never cease to amaze me how this goes over so many people’s heads. I’ve pointed this out before, so I’ll point it out again.
 
It’s actually not as implausible as some people make it out to be.
 
They never really hated each other. In fact, judging from “Sonic Rainboom” Rarity understands Dash better than most would think, given they both know what it’s like to have big goals in life and not always feel good enough to achieve them.
 
Dash saved her life twice, and was actually the first to apologize to Rarity in “Dressed for Success”. In fact a lot of the scenes people point out in which Dash isn’t to happy in her company can be explained by Dash, just not being into the same thing, nor having much patience. That doesn’t mean they can’t have a deep friendship. She has that same issue with her other friends.
 
You could also say they have similar character flaws. They can both be vain, but are good at heart and make the right choices in the end for the most part. Plus between AJ and Dash, I imagine Dash to secretly care more about how she looks and enjoy some pampering, striking some cute common ground between her and Rare.
 
I don’t find it too absurd, either, that Rarity would have at least a little crush on her savior, nor do I think Dash would find Rarity unattractive.
 
I think a mature, assertive Mare, like Rarity (Or Applejack) would be good for Rainbow dash, given she can keep her ego in check, without being hurtful, but also encourage her to do better. To bring some direction into her life, and better her as a person.
 
Secondly, Rarity’s trade involves complimenting the pony form and anatomy. Rainbow Dash, being an athlete, exemplifies physical perfection. I could see her being at least mildly intrigued. Wouldn’t be too difficult for a lovely mare like Rarity to get Dash’s attention either if she made a move.
 
Raridash also just has a lot of the same “opposites attract” charm as Rarijack, but with a touch of the “classy vs. electric” charm of the Octavia/Scratch ship, making it extra appealing, IMO.

Raridash would never work out in a realistic sense, though.

>> What we really need is more AppleSpike, Raripie, and SnipsBloom.
 
This is not mutually exclusive, we need both more of these AND Raridash

>>the world needs more Raridash
 
What we really need is more AppleSpike, Raripie, and SnipsBloom.
 
>>the world needs more Dragon’s Dogma with ponies
 
I’d like for more Judas Priest with ponies, but a Dragon’s Dogma is fine, too.
