Rarity's unnamed former boyfriend is a unseen minor antagonist from the My Little Pony Romance Comedy Fanfiction "Dusk Shine in pursuit of Happiness", which was written by Bigsnusnu.
He was described as a handsome yet poor colt who was Rarity's Ex-coltfriend when they first met when she was going shopping in town and invited her for lunch one day. However, he was later shown to actually be a selfish, narcissistic, manipulative and abusive colt who cheated on Rarity and used her for money for his own personal gain.
The Ex-Boyfriend was not mentioned until later in the chapter "Love Can Hurt", where Rarity does mention him within her diary when Dusk Shine got her permission to read some parts of it.
What Makes Him A Hate Sink?[]
- While he was described a handsome colt who seemed to be gallant, kind and friendly, this was all just an act to exploit and use Rarity to steal her money without her permission.
- When Rarity confronted him for this, he would lie as he falsely promises Rarity that he would never do it again.
- He would also commit adultery by cheating on Rarity with other mares.
- When Rarity would confront her coltfriend would also cheat on Rarity with other mares, her coltfriend would either sweet-talk her as a way to force her to forgive him, guilt-trip her or verbally abuse her. (i.e. Calling her useless, telling her she should be grateful to have him, telling her that he knew Rarity better than any other pony, telling her that she would be alone with nopony ever wanting to love her if he left) He would later lie, cheat, and steal Rarity's money again, showing that he doesn't actually care for Rarity at all.
- When Rarity decides to break up with him, her coltfriend would decide to be a fledged-out jerk by destroying Rarity's belongings in her house, throwing everything into the air, yelling furiously and directly insulting Rarity. It would be heavily implied that he physically abused her before pushing Rarity into a chair, hurting her leg in the process, before leaving her.
- Even after their break-up, Rarity's Ex would decide to spread lies to everypony and slandering her by telling them that Rarity the manipulative abuser in the relationship as a way to spite her for breaking up with him, making everypony in her town, except for her own friends, to believe the lies that he told them, even accusing Rarity of being a 'Femme Fatale' later after Rarity started to hang out with other guys.
- This shows how disrespectful he is to his ex-girlfriend and how far Rarity's Ex-coltfriend would go to refuse any responsibility for his own actions, as well as how narcissistic he is.
- His actions are what left with Rarity having deeper insecurities than she had before, as she called herself a "fool" and a "dumb, insecure, mare" in her diary (in the chapter "Love Can Hurt"). More examples of this is also shown when she asks Dusk Shine if he liked being with her to seek assurance from him (in the chapter "A Never-ending Morning"), having a fear of showing any weaknesses or her insecurities to anypony. This would mean that her Ex-Boyfriend had also exploited her own insecurities as well.
- The coltfriend's abuse would also leave Rarity emotionally scarred, leaving her incapable of starting another relationship due to that when they look at her or touch her, she would end up getting reminded of her abusive ex-coltfriend. Thankfully, Rarity does eventually learn to heal from this overtime, especially with the help Dusk Shine, thus helping her be able to finally open up to him.
- When Dusk Shine read part of Rarity's diary with her consent and read about where Rarity's ex-boyfriend abused and hit her, Dusk was shocked and disgusted that Rarity's ex-coltfriend would treat Rarity so horribly, even causing him to hit Hoity Toity in the face in blind rage when he mistook him for being Rarity's Ex-Boyfriend. (as shown in the chapter "Love Can Heal") However, this was a misunderstanding and Dusk Shine apologizes Hoity Toity about that. However, it does say a lot as it show a lot on how enraged Dusk Shine was about the horrible abuse that Rarity's ex-coltfriend was.
- Rarity's former boyfriend, even though he did have Rarity break up with him, was given very little punishment for his actions, making him a karma houdini.
