No worries on the mood – glad you liked it.Re: Cosplaying. I find this an interesting topic. I guess it depends on how narrow of a definition you use. If we accept the use of props as constituting a costume, this perhaps qualifies (if barely) though the background provides the bulk of the context. There is also the interesting issue of symmetry seeing as how Rarity comes from a society that is generally naked (though the ponies in Canterlot wear a lot of accessories). If you were to google “MLP cosplay” you’d see that the vast majority of the cosplayers are wearing clothes, rather than going naked with body paint even though the ponies they were “cosplaying” do not wear clothes. Does this disqualify them as cosplaying, or do we accept the idea that the use of representational clothes and color schemes is an acceptable workaround when public nudity isn’t a viable option? Similarly, could we then apply this same reasoning (but in reverse) when the wearing of clothes is the exception rather than the rule? I actually had what I though was an interesting solution to the question of how a generally nude society cosplays, which was to simply change your cutie mark, but unfortunately I forgot to add it. It probably would have saved some confusion. Of course, there is an alternative way to look at the situation – assume that Rarity is “cosplaying” from the Robotech that appears in their universe ( i.e. Minmay is, in fact naked).
