Angry, disappointed, mad, confused....

Like I'm justified in spending most of my time on /mu/.

Oh, and like I hate metathreads.

Pretty good, seeing as how it's more or less the best cartoon airing right now.

I want to know how much traffic /co/ got pre-MLP compared to now

>>23147907
Like I don't care cause I know how to ignore threads that are /co/ related that I don't care about?

That we're slowly heading towards some kind of pony singularity.

okaywiththis.jpg

>>23147936
I never came here before mlp if that gives you any indication

Like faaaaaaaar to much of that was shipping

>>23147952

>pony singularity

It kind of makes me feel sad, because if it keeps up at that pace eventually the threads will be moving WAY too fast.

Speaking of, where the hell is the Pony General, is THIS the pony general? Cause I can't find it.

I bet your fucked up statistics that are wrong anyway are including this thread.

Hey ponyfags, fuck you all. Deal with that.

>>23148028
Do you want it to be the pony general, because it COULD be the pony general.

>>23148034

Such delicious butthurt at the hooves of the Pony Empire. You can only get this on /co/.

I love it

Okay, I haven't really been engaged in an MLP thread in like the past two or three weeks. I'm starting to feel like I should call myself an ex-brony. But explain to me what you guys actually discuss because I am dumbfounded that there is more energy than ever when all I usually see is fanfiction discussion.

I don't even hate ponies, I just don't understand this.

ALL HAIL THE PONY!!

>>23148168
The world structure, other species, how the government works.

The shipping is also still there.

>>23148168
its about 95% shipping and fan content they are quite shitty.

>>23148034
A scathing diatribe, anon!

Surely, you have crushed their spirits!

>>23148196
son, you are the cancer killing pony threads

Reposting from the old thread:

Who's the head of the Sweet Apple Acres: Apple Jack or Big McIntosh?

Also, was "Big" always a part of McIntosh's name, or was he once "Little" McIntosh?

>>23148182
>The shipping is also still there
There is more shipping going on in an average MLP:FiM thread than there was at the height of the East India Trading company. There is a bit of theorizing, but not much.

>>23148196
>>23148196
HA, I CALLED IT
>>23147814

>>23148240
Applejack is the CEO, Big Mac does all the real work.

>>23148182
>how the government works

Not really "discussed" all that much. It's more along the lines of whatever wacky-sounding conspiracy theory involving Celestia some brony thought up that minute.

Here's Aluminum Overcast.

Rarity doesn't like her for some reason.

>>23148252
>There is more shipping going on in an average MLP:FiM thread than there was at the height of the East India Trading company
I'm tearing up. Well done, anon.

>>23148240

I still say Granny Smith probably has the title rights. Maybe she's having Big Mac and Applejack be co-managers until she can decide which one to pass the farm on to?

Bronies. The song you are listening to write now is one of the pony's personal theme song. What song and which pony?

>>23148223
In their current state they deserve to die. the threads are making ME a huge brony into a pony thread hater.

>>23148240
Wouldn't the grandma be in charge? The old matriarch?

AJ's still rather young to inherit the place, and I doubt male ponies are allowed by Princess Celestia to own land.

Sometimes, I wish we had a thread where we came up with ridiculous ponies.

I'm still waiting to see if someone can make a Hobo Pony.

>>23148240

Applejack runs Sweet Apple Acres, she said show in the cutie mark episode. This is confusing as we know Big Mac is both older, and better with numbers. The fancy mathematics as Applejack calls it. My only guess is that Big Mac just has to "go back to the kitchen" or in this case, the fields, and keep on plowing.

As for his name, I think its a nickname. Someone once suggested his real name is "Apple McIntosh" and I tend to go with that.

>>23148293

Wait fuck, that's her scarf isn't it.

Shit brb.

>>23148301

Granny's asleep most of the time. She is not in any way fit for the job.

>>23148240

I like to think they have more of a partnership in each doing their fair share of the work.

>>23148315
Welcome to a few days ago

>>23148298

Hmm. Pearl Jam, Given to Fly. I suppose the obvious choice is Dash. But I think I'll go with Crosette, the OC rocket pony who wants to be a pegasus.

>>23148298

Caught me in my /v/ mode. Trixie is my favorite pony, so it looks like her theme song now is Double Dragon II: Unleashing the Ogre.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtVEigHvlwA&feature=related

>>23148315
>Hobo Pony.

im so on this

>>23148301

I don't see why they wouldn't be. If males didn't have any rights, based on their comparatively small numbers, they would only be used for breeding.

>>23148318
I figured it would be "Macintosh Apple," since they're the Apple family and it's a surname.

Also, regarding McIntosh vs. Macintosh. The former is the proper name for the actual apple but everyone enunciates his name as "Mac" in-show so that's how I call him.

>>23147907

how do you even calculate the numbers

>>23148380

The archive tracks number of posts in all general threads. I'd assume it's a simple matter of addition.

Now with more scarf.

>>23148315

Here you guys go, fuel for your thoughts. Also: Have something written by a distraught fa/tg/uy when he saw this.

The more I think about this, the scarier it gets. When I started reading I was thinking something along the lines of "That's neat, but I would have done this differently and that differently and...", but then I started actually thinking about it and realized how perfectly horrible this background is. The end this brought to Humanity was more complete than any war between Humanity and it's creations could have possibly been. There are no humans hiding in vaults beneath the earth, fearing the scourge of Celestia and her armies. There are no humans hiding in the mountains staying out of sight whenever a Pegasus (Pegasi?) pony flies overhead and killing any adventurous pony that discovers them, making the death look like an accident and then moving on to a new valley. The humans became the ponies, the ponies forgot Humanity, and Humanity is completely and forever dead.

Lets not forget that Applejack used Big Mac as threat towards Apple Bloom in Bridle Gossip
could have just been because she was shrunken, or Big M as some sort of authority

>>23148373

it seems interchangeable. As we have ponies like Apple Fritter, Apple Bumpkin, Apple Tart etc. with the Apple name up front.

>>23148349

Oh hell yes. More awesome than I imagined.

>Pony Threads

Somebody requested Fluttershy in Applejack's hat in a thread way earlier today and I decided to do it.

>>23148447

He's the older brother, duh.

>>23148349
>so I stabbed the fucker and took his mints.jpg

>>23148464
Fuck yeah pony threads

does anyone really watch this for the plot?

>>23148465
FUCKING DERP.

What's with this thread? Is it the new general? The old one hasn't reached image cap yet. <_<

>>23148472
true, but would Applejack have said that if she was full size?

>>23148491

I dont even know anymore. The plots are always predictable children moralism shit.

3 prime examples of Why i am begining to hate pony threads.

>>23148464
Actually, last pony threads haven't been more than guys complaining about shipping "stop liking what i don't like"

>>23148498

Thanks bro. It turned out great.

I'm starting to notice something with people who try the series.

People who go into the show expecting this show to meet their expectations of how /co/'s reaction to the show will be disappointed 90% of the time ("this show better meet my expectations" isn't really a good way to try a show in the first place).

People who have 20 mins to waste and try the show out will be content with the show.

People who downright hate the show will most likely end up liking it after a few episodes (or see episodes recommended by bronies).

People who only watch the first episode will conclude that the rest of the show is shit (ala MTL)

People who watch the show for 5 mins won't change their opinions.

People who expect the show to be decent will end up being an brony.

People who haven't watched the show at all will continue to say it's shit because dissin' popular shows is cool, yo.

Thoughts?105 rgemers

>>23148531
The Fluttershy image isn't new, it's from the Zecora episode. It's actually kinda funny and not overly sexual.

"Mommy why are your eyes like that?"
"One is to make sure the world is safe, the other is to watch you grow."

"Reprehensible" by They Might Be Giants

At first I was like "who the hell would have a TMBG theme song? Then I realized this song was Celestia incarnate

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaTURrVc3qE

You fans of "Celestia is an evil dictator" need to hear this

>>23148464

I'm gonna be honest... this is the only show I have shipped on, and most of it has been pretty innocent stuff, light and fluffy.

Can someone tell me when you're supposed to earn your cutie mark on the hubworld game site?

Dangnabit, I can only pick so many apples at a time.

>>23148587
DAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW

colored version

>>23148437
We have as many origins as there are RPG's, we can't pick just one. Part of the problem is that the main ponies don't seem to know anything about the outside world. Zecora the Zebra confirms the world continues outside the Everfree Forest, but gives no details. What changed the world could be anything from nukes to fae to elder beings.

How do you see the Pony world came to be?

>>23148556
Complaints about shipping drive me to drink.

Drinking drives me to ship.

And the cycle continues.

>>23148585
she did sit on AJ in the show. not once in the show was anyones GTS fetish pandered too.

>>23148587

>>23148639
she DIDNT rather.

>>23148576
Awesome, I didn't expect you to be on. I would have posted it in every thread until I found you.

Glad you like it.

What we need is to take all the shipping and porn and PUSH IT to FURAFFINITY

Seriously you guys, those are your people

>>23148491

I watch this show because the ponies are cute, and do cute things.

>>23148628

There's nothing I personally dislike more than crossovers.

And I've done crossovers. I've done them well.

>>23148628
>Big Mac's happy puppy pose
ehh...

I refuse to stand idly by while another show is killed by his fanbase. its sonic, invader zim, and Avatar all over again.

>>23148587
>MAXIMUMLEVELSOFDAAAWWWWWW.jpg

>>23148673

Shipping is fine as long as it's light and fluffy, and isn't argued about being "canon". But I do agree about most of the porn being kept to FA.

I dunno.

I'm not liking the mood of this thread. Too much negativity here.

>>23148679
Thats why I watch it. its also the reason why I cant ship this show.

>>23148701
Avatar was killed? News to me.

Put your glasses and deal with it

Dreadlock Stink, they called her

A few days ago the idea to run a MLP:FiM themed quest for you guys popped into my head. I developed the idea a bit and came up with this.

You have just graduated from one of the Universities in Canterlot with a degree in Archeology and have just arrived at the first dig site that you have ever been in charge of, your experience at digs as a student makes you confident that you will do well. However, one of the diggers soon makes a discovery that could change all of Equestria. Will you reveal the secrets this site holds, or will what you have discovered be buried by those that would maintain the status quo? It's all up to you.

Would any of you be interested in playing this as a Play By Post style game? I have descriptions and states for each of the three different races if anyone is interested. And a list of things I still need that y'all might be able to help with.

NOTE: This will not involve any members of the MLP:FiM cast, the main character will be made by the questers and the NPCs will be created by me.

>>23148712
If you start a new thread I'll move the general image.

>>23148673
but then where does all the humanized stuff go? Those are the pics I really dig

>>23148521
well since this is the general
COMIC TIME!

>and my killcount raised again

New general? Alright. Moving my post here, my response to Knigh/tg/uy.

>>23148368
I haven't honestly figured out what I want to do to the humans. Making them evil would be a good adversary, but evil hyooomans is such a horrible cliche I might forgo it for something else. I do see humans as potentially taking ponies as pets due to the d'aww, and possibly putting them to work like dogs, or a kind of slavery. No idea if I'll make them outright evil, some evil/some not, misunderstood, or neutral to ponies entirely. Or even if they still exist or perhaps have died off beforehand. Idea is still too early for me to figure out what the story will take

>>23148684

There is nothing I like more than crossovers

Honestly they are just too much fun

Once again all dead! Even with the grim reaper!

>>23148726
Why deal with it instead of tyring to change it? Did the citizens of Egypt deal with it? yes they did but now they are trying to change it. Thats me im an Egyptian citizen but with ponies and shipping is a harsh dictator that rules threads with an iron fist.

by the way
for those who remember and/or give a crap
the good end is on hold till maybe tomorrow
i'm nauseously tired and can't think straight

>>23148726

hey bro, I can say "deal with it" too

>>23148797
I stopped by the toy store to see if they had a Cheerilee in yet.

They did not.

>>23148731
they say she tried to become an astrophysicist, when her cutie mark clearly indicated she was destined to become a hair stylist like her mother

>>23148749

Oh god Fluttershy.

>>23148801

But what exactly am I going to be dealing with here? Just more bitching?

>>23148759
>>23148565
Just a neutral party, like anyone else. Some get along fine, some have to work together, and some are jerks. In my story, Fluttershy's human family depended on her doing the job, and she was rewarded for it. It hits harder if all the humans are forced to leave, even though many weren't jerks.

Reminds me of King David. He was a shepherd as a kid, and ordered the death of a guy who had stolen some dude's last sheep.

>>23148769
In a perfect world?
this >>23148673
In the real world? continue bitching in every thread. eventually other anti shippers will speak up too.

>>23148782
>change MLP threads to fit my tastes
>Stop bringing new content while I do nothing

And now I think that this whole anti-shipping is just plain trolling

>>23148734
yessssss

and something I did for dino-fag

>>23148838

I guess so. We have to deal with the shipping and you get to deal with the bitching.

It's a symbiotic relationship

I really didn't know what to do with the big white indentations in her eye so I just blackened them.

>>23148628
I love how AJ is like "Don't you fucking dare, Big Mac . . . "

>>23148845

So bitch until you get a bigger bitchstorm?

>>23148857
Ive tried to stop numerous topics before they were shoved to the side for shipping. I think all this shipping is just trolling

>>23148749
I LIKE WHERE DIS IS GOIN

>>23148797

Why bother making good ends man? I don't understand. If you went out of your way to make a horrible story intended to upset people, why doll it up? That eliminates the whole reason you wrote it. You might as well not have even written the story to begin with.

>>23148863

>>23148876
isnt that really how any revolution starts?

>>23148734
Post whatever information you have. Just to let you know, I ran the last quest, and be prepared to be buried under a mountain of posts before you can respond.

Also, make sure to give at least to choices at the end in green text. Helps make the choices easier.

>>23148883
Start not stop
otherwise that would make no sense

>>23148883
People will do what they like to do.
Don't like shipping? You don't ship
They don't like your topics? They don't discuss them

>>23148587
That is precious.
>>23148749
That is equally precious. Especially Fluttershy's face.

>>23148904

revolutionaries actually do more than bitch. And they usually also have a proper cause.

>>23148734
Well, one person is interested, here goes then. Sorry for any weird layout issues, copypasting from OpenOffice

Earth: Earth ponies do not have the ability to use magic or fly, so anything they need doing they have to do under their own power. Because of this, Earth ponies are the physically strongest and toughest of the three races. Earth ponies are about as fast as a Unicorn pony, but less agile. While not always the first ones to get a joke or understand a new concept they are far from stupid. Your role at the dig sites as a student was to help move large objects that the team uncovers and to help dig.
Tl;dr
Earth Pony
Strength: + + +
Toughness: + + +
Speed: + +
Agility: + +
Intelligence: + +

There will also be three special abilities, 2 increase the main stats of the pony, on is a skill.

>>23148903
better than expected

ok, this is my first drawing, i just bought a tablet, what should i improve?

>>23148863
I don't get why, but I'm laughing my ass off.
Mmmmight be the dino. Also, which one was impersonating Celestia?

>>23148857
It is. They figured out a somewhat clever way to infiltrate and divide up the threads. It worked pretty well. I sort of fell for it. Like all trolls though they got too excited, and spammed it too much, now it's plainly obvious what they're doing. Simple trolling. Maybe it always was obvious and I was just slow on the draw about this one. Anyway I'm ready to just start ignoring it on the same level as gorespam or the whole "durr u watch shows fer little girls" thing. Effective immediately.

>>23148942
Proper is an opinion thing. Also its the internet I cant pickett or over throw anything.

marathoned the series to stufy dash's behavior. Now about to do it again to study her speech. Then I gotta do it again for Twilight Sparkle's behavior and speech.

...it's gonna be a long night...also...it's gonna be a wait on those fics...

>>23148950

Nightmare fuel?

Nightmare fuel.

>make a pony thread about stuff other than shipping
>motherfucking shipstorm sets in
>a torrent of "deal w/ it" everywhere

It's a god damn disaster, every time.

>>23148749

How long did it take you to draw that?

Is that your only one?

>>23148919
What quest did you run?

>>23148948
If you have any problems with the stats, let me know. I haven't even tried balancing them yet, just typed out what sounded right.

Pegasus: They can fly. They are stronger than a Unicorn, but weaker than an Earth pony and the most brittle of all the pony types. They are the fastest and most agile of all the ponies and use that to their advantage. They are of average intelligence. You use the air blown by your wings to gently remove dust or sand from the dig site and from discovered objects. Your roll at the digs as a student was to fly with the senior Pegasus and learn to spot potential dig sites and to use air blown by your wings to dust off discovered object.
Tl;dr
Pegasus Pony
Strength: + +
Toughness: +
Speed: + + +
Agility: + + +
Intelligence: + +

>>23148871
I have no complaints.

God, is it weird that I have an uncontrollable urge to go back and fix all the tiny, insignificant mistakes I made?

>>23148942
Yeah, the only way any ACTUAL revolution gets started is by people taking direct action.

Which... in the case of 4chan, would mean contributing stuff that people like.

>>23148948

alright, keep goin...

also, should we quest here where the fans are or on /tg/ where questing is better understood and be can roll?

>>23148759

If humans are still around and have any sort of proximity to come in contact with the pony folk, how they view them will also depend alot on how big these little ponies really are. Judging by their size relative to the earth animals also appearing, they are pretty tiny. So They probably would fit the dog niche precisely. Unfortunately for dog sized critters able to receive and understand commands, and communicate back would be a pretty hot commodity. I could easily see a trade in them.

>>23148876
ya know HighFructose; if it weren't for you, i never would started writing this crap

>>23148863
Soemone should write a fic of that conversation.

>>23148948
I'd prefer to play as the Earth pony. Being forced to think your way out of things instead of magicking them away feels best.

>>23148971
Much better than I did when I first started. Try drawing her running or walking.

>>23148971

I like it a lot. It's got its own style. Snout looks a little bit like Snails, but not a bad way. Hmm, Twilight plus Snails...

>>23148971
Back legs seems a bit chunky and the nose is a bit big if you're trying to emulate the show's style.

But honestly, that's damn good for a first time pony drawing. Keep it up and you'll be taking requests around here in no time!

>>23148980
even though youll never believe im NOT trolling. but like I said youll continue to think I am trolling so it really doesnt matter.

>>23148950
>>23148975
So they found a marker in the everfree forest?

>>23148971

That's really good for a first time.

I'd suggest looking for some pony drawing tutorials for starters. There's a ton of them now. Just ask and anon will supply.

After that, just keep drawing. I can give you a more in-depth critique if you want.

>>23148993

Lurk more newfoal.

>>23149070
WHAT!?

>people being petty and bitchy about too much shipping vs. dealing with shipping

YOU GUYS

stop that.

i, for one, would love a thread where the shipping is toned down. I'm not trolling, I honestly had more fun back when the threads were like that, and i assume the guys mentioning it feel similarly. making a new threads on /co/ that exludes shipping bronies could piss off /co/ and attract trolls though, so i see why they're trying to change the general instead. y'all who like shipping, that's fine too; i also like it sometimes. why do we have to get all asspained about someone bringing up their wishes?

>>23149066

Really? thanks, then you'll love this next one. At first, I was trying to kind of troll my bronies in a friendly way, but now I just don't care anymore because this is a good thread.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HumansAreCthulhu

Do this with your humans.

>>23149001

Unicorn: They are magical. They are the weakest of the three pony types but tougher than a Pegasus pony. They are of average speed and agility. Thanks to spending lots of their time studying and learning magic they are the most intelligent of the pony types. Your magic is focused around being able to tough and feel with your magic much like a blind pony would with it's hoofs. Because of this you served as the translators sidekick whenever something with unclear writing on it was found. You have also found your ability useful when navigating low light areas as it allows you get a picture in your head of what the ground looks like, although you prefer a torch or magic light.
Tl;dr

>>23149009
Im not an artist or a writer. I can do both but not up to the standards I hold for any piece of work to actually matter. However when it comes to examining a show Im top notch. Yet every time I bring and insights up they get passed over for shipping. Its quite the conundrum so what exactly do you purpose?

>>23149045

>my face when

>>23149070
More amusing was when someone was pretending to be you. In amusement, all name and tripfriends changed their name to madmax for the rest of the thread.

>>23149070
Old news, everyone loves madmax now.
People were just mad that she left us with all these shippers.

>>23149001
I would never be able to find it in the archive, but here is the gist of it:

/co/nrad found himself in Equestria as a Unicorn pony with a bum leg. After about a month, he had settled down to life here, since his leg wouldn't let him explore farther. He used his Unicorn magic to help Officer Pony protect Applebloom from some monster from the Everfree Forest. He got a kiss on the forehead from this. He also failed to acquire Orange Juice.

I used a d10 system with the post number taking the place of the dice roll. Dubs and above were automatic successes. 0-4 were failures, and 5-9 were succeses. Special bonuses were acquired through the game play that affected those odds.

>>23149070

Are you talking about the Duffle and Slack toldening?

>>23149110
and its not because "shipping is gross"--its because it honestly does swallow up other types of conversations. i know it's not intentional of anyone, but that's what happens.

>>23149137

Woah what was this event, I need some serious history up in this motherfucker

>>23149039
thanks

>>23148701
But... it has already been signed for season 2...

any artists willing to take a sugestion
Twilight as a loud televangelist preaching about Celestia

>>23149122

The worst shipper is better than the critic who contributes nothing.

So, bronies, my question to you is: What needs work? And if you come up with a better rhyme, post it, and I'll credit you.

Also, the haters are just mad jelly that when the time comes, Princess Celestia will not take them to Equestria, and grant us all pony bodies, in exchange for human technology.

Those things could learn a thing or two about sneak attacks from pinkie

>>23149137
now Im interested keep talking

>>23149021

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to take that.

>>23148844
I will probably end up going to some sort of gray area for it. Humanity is a diverse. And honestly, I can't see them doing anything too insane to creatures as cute as Rainbow Dash. Ha, ha! Now I just thought of the ponies having to fight off hordes of snugglers, and that's the reason they left to Equastria. Tired of having those manes brushed.

>>23149178

Seconding this.

>>23149014
I want to run it where the fans are, but am afraid that there are just to many people interested in nothing other than shipping. If I go to /tg/, it will either rock or rocks will fall (on me).

Anyone want me to post the abilities for each one? I was wanting to keep them a secret for when I first launched, but whatever.

>>23149199
It was bad. And I mean fail bad.

>>23149076
If you are honestly imply the extent of my logic is ":stop liking what I dont like" then you are clearly not understanding my point. Honestly I could easily say that the reason you dont like my anit shipping attitude is based only on the logic of "stop not liking what I like" two way street. No My logic is that I am standing up for a minority with few other options. We want to talk with the people on /co/ about ponies, we dont want to talk about shipping. Yet we get brushed over in threads and are unable to start new ones.

>>23149163

Duffle had spent a majority of a previous thread trolling madmax. In the following thread (pic related) he donned her name (with fake trip) and posted as her. He then fucked up, making a non-troll post, thinking his normal name and trip were in place, when they were not.

He was caught. But he deleted his posts anyway and pretended as if he was innocent.

>>23149192

Until you're retreating to reload your big old contact beam and you turn around and it's INCHES from your face

>>23149184
um...threads arent 100% about creating original content...

i think that anon just wants to have a discussion that analyzes the show without their discussion getting overshadowed by the copious shipping.

you're sounding extremely defensive over nothing

>>23148749
Saved. Awesome reference in it and I laughed hardily at Twilight's punchline

You simple maintain a perpetual level of awesome content.

>>23149235

So, about chapter three....???
Yes, I'm terribly impatient. Feel free to hate me.

Hey madmax, figured I could put a half-assed version up while our drawfriend delivers...

And for the brony who asked for RD as Phoenix... I didn't forget, it's just the version I tried to do was turning shitty.

>>23149184

>The worst shipper is better than the critic who contributes nothing.

I'm not that guy, but you might want to rethink what you just said man. It came out sounding pretty derp.

>>23149199

Tripfag troll "Duffle and Slack" posted with the name madmax and a tripcode, but it wasn't the right tripcode. He was trying, poorly, to attack you over the Pac Man incident.

He then posted a short while later but screwed up putting the wrong entry in the Name field, thus exposing himself. He tried to delete the whole thing, but a quick thinking brony screencapped it. Duffle and Slack tried to deny it, but ended up getting epic told.

I've rarely seen a finer example of countertrolling.

>>23148767

Fun fact: Terrence and Twilight Sparkle are voiced by the same person.

>>23149254
Couldnt have said it better myself thank you brony.

>>23149243
he he he!
that was fucking awesome

>brb REVENGE!

God I hate stalkers

all this arguing amongst ourselves is just giving the trolls what they wanted all along, for us to die out. And we are, by our own hands, can we please just go back to the days of not caring like when we first started? It's like PoE left some sort of stamp on pony threads and we're all afraid of looking like that guy.

>>23149233
Post everything you have. You might be able to get away with running it as a general /co/ quest, though, separate from the general.

Has /co/ ever had a quest thread at all? I know /a/ has.

>>23149243

Hahaha Duffle is a cool motherfucker

But nah Madmax after you left everyone was just talking the worst kind of shit man. I don't know why they were so god damn mad, I think they thought you were serious when you were all "god damn I'm leaving forever cause these morons didn't get a pacman joke"

Some of the things I heard was offendin my grandma three states away. Of course now that you're back they suckin your dick but just remember They frontin

>>23149207
your damn good writer
i just wanted to admit that Cupcakes was a parody of The Severing in addition to being a shipping joke

>>23149095
Yeah, that's always been my problem but it's never been quite this strong before. As a painter you find that mistakes happen and there is only so much you can do about it and you find the perfection in them, but digitally all mistakes are erasable with the push of a button and with that comes this overwhelming urge to fix it.

"You can't be an artist and a perfectionist at the same time." I'm sure someone has said that.

Anyway, back to ponies!

>>23149186
FTFY.

>>23149303
we've had pony quests in the general, problem is he is correct. Most of these fans just want shipping and only shipping now, shit sucks.

>>23149271

I'm not sure I see the problem with the comment. I admit there there is an artform to the act of critiquing, but it's not on display on 4chan. Maybe I'm unclear, it was said better in a cartoon made for little girls:

>the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so

>>23149259
Hey now. I just posted 2 like an hour ago. I don't write the entire thing then post it, I post as I write.

Give me some time to recooperate. I need to "lucid" up another chapter tonite.

>>23149254

That's true, but imagine a thread with 100% discussion and 0 new content.

How long do you think those threads would last?

Do you think that the frequency and density of these threads we have now would be the same with no new content, and just discussion?

>>23149269
I like that!
thanks mr. Anonymous

>>23149303
i think the quest will be controversial wherever it's posted. /co/ is sick of ponies and /tg/ might dislike it, too. but then again it could be a great success what with the number of pony fans.

i like the idea of making it a quest that all of /co/ can participate in. but also i think /tg/ would make some funny posts, too, even if they arent fans.

>>23149000

...I got hard reading those...

So is it just equines and cows that talk in this universe?

A "quest" is a series of images and text posted in sequence, thereby making it a form of comic and totally /co/-related, particularly when things like Homestuck and its antecedents are already accepted. Interactivity has no bearing.

That is all.

>>23149340

Yes, yes, you're right.
I'm just very drawn in by the story right now.

>>23149315

Parody or imitation?

Anyway, I'd like to say "I warned you about the prudes, dawg. I warned you, man."

But, alas, I failed to warn you.

>>23149349
It was tried on /tg/ a few months back, it ended badly.

>>23149296
leapers are still most annoying

>>23149342
well, thats kinda the point i think they were trying to make. they want some balance between OC and discussion. seems reasonable. one without the other can get boring quick; both together makes the threads more interesting to the different kinds of fans.

>>23149342
You say that like the threads HAVE to be as fast moving as they are.

Hey there, High Fructose.

Just ready your Lovecraft piece; I liked it a lot. Haven't read Lovecraft in a while, but you seemed to really capture the style. I'd read future parts, if you ever get around to writing'em.

>>23149134
>I used a d10 system with the post number taking the place of the dice roll. Dubs and above were automatic successes. 0-4 were failures, and 5-9 were succeses. Special bonuses were acquired through the game play that affected those odds.

I like that, I was planning on going with a majority vote, but this would work well.

Maybe the 7pm crowd would be more interested. It seems that at this time of night there are only 3 or 4 that would be willing to quest.

>>23149345
No problem, nice to meet a brony who likes one of the biggest fucking epics EVAR!

Whats going on in this thread?

>>23149384

As a (lite) shipper and porn lover, I agree with this.

>>23149403

That pony has a huge head

>>23149192

>>23149388

That was never my intent.

I was just saying that one without the other would leave the fandom emptier.

>>23149000
>>23149360

>>23149370
I purposely end chapters at cliffhangers or suspensful moments for you to feel like that.

You said it Captcha.

I surprisingly like this. My only real complaint is that he has a feminine snout.

>>23149389

That's cool. They'll come eventually. Lucid was just telling me I should hold off on my contributions because it makes the audience wanting more. But I don't know how to participate if I'm not contributing.

>>23149428
Fair point

>>23149436

In the practical sense, discussion DOES create new content, yes.

I was speaking in the theoretical sense though, bro.

>>23149403

>>23149436
/tg/ has new and interesting content? That's the first I've heard of it. Maybe you should go back there and enjoy it then.

>>23149369
Exactly Brainy, exactly. /co/ can be whatever the hell it wants to be, as long as enough of it wants to be that way.

WELP. I decided to give this a try today. If you don't like porn, don't click this.

There's still parts of it I feel need some adjustments. Those highlights bug me a bit. I'll play with it a bit.

Not sure if I should proceed with more though, or just ditch the whole prospect.

>>23149516
no, just do a quick run during a general thread.

>>23149528

>>23149491
I'm not one to normally dissapoint. I'll have it posted tomorrow. If you're on in the morning I tend to hang out in the mornin threads for a bit.

>>23149016
You and I are pretty much on the same page. I think humans would see ponies as immensely valuable as workers and pets, and ponies would be effectively a very d'aww set of slaves (I say slaves, because unlike dogs, ponies appear to have intelligence and communication on par with people, where as dogs are still just animals).

DUDE I HAVE AN IDEA

we could use /carcom/ to host an ongoing in-depth, less-shippy discussion thread. it would be slow-paced at first, definitely, but perhaps with the power of friendship it could gather enough steam to at least get a couple posts a day?

that way we can hop between here and there depending on what we're itching to blather on about...

not perfect, since it would be nice to have the benefit of posting images, but it seems like a convenient solution to our current conniptions.

>>23149528

The template thing? Really? I'm a bit let down, to be honest.

>>23149516
>*shudder* tgchan
And what's wrong with tgchan?

>>23149372
eh i'm not worried about prudes
it's just that when i saw that story i said to myself, "hm, wonder if i could make something grimdark"
then i saw a bunch of shipping posts and decided to see what would happen if i pushed the envelope.
your story was dramatic, mine was meant to be black comedy .
to be honest, i pulled a lot punches in Cupcakes. it could have been worse.
i don't know why i'm typing this, but thank you for listening s

>>23149528

>>23149565
sorry sir thats no compromise

>>23149567

Ah well it isn't the only thing I'm working on.

Just a passing interest. Also there's still the matter of a drawing I owe you.

>>23149528
Hmm, I didn't realize such mods were in the works. So many characters now

>>23149582

I loved the end of that episode

Every 3 seconds the ponies were making a silly face

Ask and ye shall receive. Also: I won't be running it this late at night, seeing as how I have classes in the mornings.

Earth Pony Special Skill (choose one)
Stronger: You are stronger than the average Earth pony. You can lift heavier things than most others and, if you ever found yourself in a fight, would be able to finish your opponent with only a few blows.
Tougher: You are tougher than the average Earth pony. You can take more damage than a regular Earth pony and remain standing, but you are nowhere near invincible.
Lucky: Family legend says that your great grandmother was a Unicorn, while you aren't sure you believe this you know that you are luckiest pony you have ever known. Things you do that could easily go wrong almost always go right and your intuition tends to point you in the correct direction.

Drayakir sure got quiet.

>>23149549

Got classes 'til 4:30 (US central time) tomorrow. Hopefully someone saves it and/or you can repost in a later thread.

>>23149585
why not?

i also think it would be good to have a longstanding thread like that so we can develop theories rather and stopping at the usual "celestia is evil!" consensus, or coming up with cool AUs on the fly and then forgetting about em after one post...

>>23149528
Hohooooooo, so you're working on those now...
I remember seeing even one Pinkie in one thread.

>>23149528
......

I think this one might be a miss.

>>23149577

That's cool. Listen, you don't work for Hasbro, and the MPAA isn't going to censor any of your stuff. This is your own work, and you don't have to pull any punches if you don't want to. Don't let haters tell you what to write. Don't take any guff from those fucking swine.

>>23149605
Pegasus Pony Special Skill (choose one)
Faster: You are faster than most other Pegasus Ponies. You can beat just about anyone in a race, but there are ponies faster than you.
More Agile: You are graceful in the air. Loop-da-loops, barrel rolls, dives, and other tricks come naturally. You rely more on your agility to amaze friends and escape pursuers.
Quiet: Thanks to your wings you are light on your feet. Most ponies and most creatures will not hear you coming unless you want them to, but you can still be heard if someone is listening hard enough

POLICE SQUAD!
*in color*

I feel like some creative shenanigans... if nobody minds. Once you start thinking up ridiculous ponies, you can't stop.

So I got Rainy Day and Monday Morning. I'm trying to think up some more "time" based ponies, like Afternoon, Evening, and Night. Any suggestions?

I was thinking maybe... Afternoon Delight for one. Sounds so wrong though.

>>23149595

Yeah, I'm still struggling with coming up with a request for that.

>>23149629
>no images
>admitting defeat
>shippers will follow.
those reasons.

>>23149646
fucking awesome dood

>pic somewhat related

>>23149670

Meantime, I'll move on from the mod thing. There's other requests to take care of.

>>23149669
Wait.

Rainy Day and Monday?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPmbT5XC-q0

>>23149669

I read halfway through your post and thought "Afternoon Delight" before even seeing it.

I think it must be done. Skyrocket cutie mark.

>>23149550
Ponies seem to be too small to be treated like slaves. I could see them being useful to the smaller human population, but not totally mistreated.

To put this in a /co/ form, imagine the lunch area for the Green Lanterns. All those people and species, doing their things. Pony shopkeepers buying things from human craftsmen, mixed species bars, and numerous bands.

>>23149669
but SO RIGHT.

How about Midsummer Night? Or...Midnight Snack

>>23149644
Before you get your knickers in a twist over that last potential ability, remember that this quest will probably have some conflict in it, although you may be able to sneak/diplomacy your way through it.

Unicorn Pony Special Skill (choose one)
(Warn players to keep these secret)
Magic Ears: As you began your magical education you discovered that you could direct your hearing across the classroom, listening in on other ponies conversations, blocking out the surrounding noise to the point that you might as well have been standing next to them. You are also able to hear through some thin walls. You have never told anyone else about this skill because are somewhat ashamed of it and how you have used it in the past.
Magic Voice: As you began your magical education you discovered that you can disguise your voice and also make it sound like it is coming from somewhere else. You have pulled many pranks with this trick, but fear of retribution and punishment have ensured that you have never told anyone else about this sill.
Pain: As you began your magical education you discovered something that shook you to your core and made you question if you were actually evil, you can cause other creature to feel pain with your magic. Almost as soon as you discovered you had this horrible ability you vowed never to use it unless you absolutely had to. You have only used this skill on purpose three twice, once to drive off a bully and once to fend off a manticore that attacked you when you wandered away from a dig site. You have never used this power to it's full extent, but you came close to during the manticore attack.

>>23149528
*Puts on objective glasses*
Your use of shading is impressive. But the jaggies leads me to suggest that you enlarge the line art before colouring to at least 4x so that when you shrink it the image will auto anti-alias.

>>23149528
...and then i lost all respect for MS.

>>23149452
Yeah, I hear that. Truthfully I haven't read most of your pieces, but I hardly read any fan fiction anyway. (Still haven't read all of Severing, but I liked where it was going when I stopped. I will pick it up again.)

As for contributions - I think just... general discussion can work, too. Theories / analyses / talking about a particularly good scene in the show, etc... that's all contribution, too. (I mostly just lurk, and I occasionally trip, but only if I'm posting art.)

>>23149699

I mean, on one hand there's a scene from one of my fics I've selfishly wanted a drawfriend to do. On the other hand you're SOOOO good at porn I'd hate to miss the opportunity for something really hot.

>>23149315

>Cupcakes was a parody of The Severing in addition to being a shipping joke

Funny how Cupcakes ended up being so immensely popular despite that, although I hated both Cupcakes and the Severing series (I did read them all). Decently written fanfictions, but highly questionable subject matter. The rape stories you both wrote on the other hand were total shit and had no redeeming quality whatsoever, contributing nothing positive to the MLP community.

I can respect both you and PornSyrup as decent writers Sprinkles, but your choice in content is horrid. My opinion of course.

did you alter this image in order to make it blend in with the background of /co/?

I'll just leave this here.

>>23149713

Midnight Toker.

>>23149696
You were colouring it too, eh?
We really a "dibs" system... But then we'd miss out when someone who's ACTUALLY good show's up.

>>23149646
...Did I miss the black and white one?

Also lol, poor Luna.

>>23149528


...is this playable?

>>23149682
admitting defeat? woah, now. we're...battling? this is the MY LITTLE PONY: ~Friendship is Magic!~ fandom for goodness' sake. There should be no fighting in any fandom...let alone one as ridiculous as this.

Anyway, i'd still try to have discussions in image threads. A text thread couldn't possibly be as active, so it would only take a little while to post there and then I'd trot on over here again to see what's new in the MLP general thread...

and the text thread wouldnt have shipping; it would state in the OP post that it's a place for the non-shipping-heavy discussions. if someone wants a shipping/fic thread on /carcom/ they can make one...

>>23149788
Um, scroll up.
>>23148863

Why doesn't anyone like Rarity anymore?

>>23148409
Fundamentally yes, but I actually count individual posts and not threads.

>>23149536

Im simply saying that people who dont want to ship shouldnt HAVE to leave /co/ to do that. its just as much our board as it is theirs and since too many pony threads gives /co/ a bad taste in its mouth we have to share 1 thread. We have done nothing wrong so we shouldnt have to leave

>>23149883
It's /v/.
How could you even be surprised?

>>23149805
Never stop doing what you do, your fics do a lot to balance out all the shipping and they make me laugh.

>>23149859
just mark down the last three digits of your post, then look for the reply. If you don't have it already get grease monkey and the auto updater.

>>23149859
I'm guessing the ponypolice.pngs would come out if you were to make a quest thread on /co/? Though I guess you'd likely have to contend with a lot of trolling. Another option would be to use IRC or something.

>>23149831
AH, thanks.

>>23149893
I guess the TS and Fluttershy personalities are mostly avoiding these shitstorms...?

>>23149707
I mostly say slaves as a reference to that ponies would likely not have a choice in the matter, though clearly being capable of choosing. It takes quite a lot of time, civilization, and prosperity for a nation to look into things like equal rights. And that's when the difference is merely skin deep.

As for what the ponies would do, due to intelligence, it's almost endless. A farmer could use a smaller pony to fetch sacks of grain, care for a child, care for other farm animals. In the city, they could run errands, deliver messages. The wealthy could afford them as pets, and children could ride them. Possibilities could go on and on. But I definitely see them as having no rights past being owned.

>>23149893
Twilight is impatient and sarcastic a lot, which fits, but she also gets probably overly excited about taking part in trivial things, which also fits.

>>23149942
I know I give you guff and say how I wanna punch you in the face, but do believe me when I say, "Shine on you crazy diamond."

ALSO I wrote my own parody fic last night when Mocha was making OCs for anyone who asked. See if you can spot all the common pony fan fic elements!

>>23149929
I'm from /tg/, I know how to identify most trolls and when to hide and come back later. I also know how to ignore blatant troll suggestions as well, accusations of railroading be damned. I'm not to sure how well pictures work with IRC, and I plan on having a related image for almost every post I make.

>>23149898
>We have done nothing wrong so we shouldnt have to leave

Well, I agree, but also we are a (not too small) minority, it seems. Communities always change as they grow, there's no stopping it, and they change even faster when they are internet communities. I thought making a thread over on the lonely-ass text board (which is still a part of 4chan, and even has the header "Comics & Cartoons"...heck the link's up at the top of this page) would be easier than trying to fight the tide here. We could actually go post pony speculation stuff rather than just trying to explain over and over our perfectly reasonable position to the anons here.

>>23149894

hey dude i was the one bitching earlier today about your fic where rainbow dash and the others died, just wanted to say i went back and read it all and i liked it a lot. nice work man

omg hockey stick graph in OP!
its global pony warming!
quick we have to do something
reduce cuteness emissions or we are all doomed to take bubble baths together

>>23149528
As much as I love your humanizations and their rule 34 counterparts, I've got mixed feelings about seeing them in super deepthroat due to the hardcore nature of the game. It's weird, when I see your non-worksafe stuff, it's both sexy and fun which is a main reason why I like it. (Hair inside, haha that's ridiculous, invisible fluttershy, etc.) The idea of making them choke on a dong until they pass out and having ejaculate spew from their nostrils, feels "dirtier." It's a very conflicting feeling, since I can play super deepthroat until I'm a carbon copy of Randy Marsh covered in ectoplasm

man i love late night threads, 12am onwards EST.
the shipping drops to acceptable levels

it's not that i hate shipping, it's just that, there's so much else to talk about, and shipping takes up a massive portion of that during day threads...but when the midnight bell tolls we all gather in a circle of comfy expensive chairs and discuss the finer points of ponies in a magical kingdom of friendship, with maybe a bit of tasteful high quality in-character shipping here and there

it's great

i apologize for disrupting the friendship but i just have a bad habit of being very strong in my convictions
i love you assholes ;_;

>>23150044
More power too you if you want to do that. And I really mean that not like how people say it halfheartedly but I am not leaving the image board to lose even something as trivial as the ability to post pictures is still losing a right. at least in my mind.

>>23150071

Cool, man. Thanks for reading. That always makes me happy.

Try some of my other stuff if you liked it. I write all sorts of genres.

>>23150080
I don't want to take bubble baths with bronies anymore...

>>23150007
I don't think ponies would be enslaved so easily. Earth ponies don't have any advantages, save ground speed, but pegasi fly, and unicorn telekinesis can pretty much turn any human technology against the humans.

>>23150007
Yeah, I can see that. But even slaves in biblical times had a good number of rights. I guess it depends on how many humans and other species there are. The biggest motivator would be the what Role Celestia/Luna play. Things change if you can't even predict the weather, or if you are always being invaded by monsters.

Use the Zork suggestion I got. At the end of your post, greentext the available options. This makes it clear to everyone what they can do. But always leave an "Other" option, just in case.

One last thing, steal the pony template, and make some reaction faces for your MC and other cast.

>>23150095

I"ve been on for hours now. I've seen no shipping, tons of meta talk about shipping. Go figure.

>>23150097
Cool. well, I'm glad we understand each other then. Have a derpy.

>>23150095
Dino-Fag.
Hey.
Dino-Fag.
HEY!
Right now, you're the only one talking about shipping.
Also we appreciate your enthusiasm.

>>23150007
Sorry if I missed you explaining this, but what would keep the ponies from rebelling against their human masters? The ponies have flying units and magic units which are superior to the average human. Do the humans have technology that they use to keep the ponies in line?

>>23150033
thanks
your pony is great, i like the taped on mustache
wish i caught her before i left, i could use a my own pony

>>23150044
As someone who is not at all bothered by pretty much anything that anyone has posted, I'd recommend against splintering bronies into separate factions of pro and antp-sku--er, I mean shippers. Schisms don't tend to go well.

Besides, the beauty of generals is that they are everything thrown together in a big pile, all different tastes converging. Like Mexican food.

>>23150095
and now i want to draw a circle of impeccably dressed ponies with bubble-pipes in high-back arm chairs facing a central fire saying "hmph" and "indeed sir" and "quite"

>>23150129
This is the next step, obviously. Shipping isn't the problem, it's Meta-shipping! We need to stem this tide, bronies. Fight back. Etc. blah blah blah.

Sooo...

if that quest ever happens, I'm totally using this Mocha-made OC (based on my MLP namegen name).

DAT ORANGE BLUE CONTRAST

also Pacce isn't the only one with an OC, and don't worry, I'm gonna write a fic for mine, too.

>>23149987
>I guess the TS and Fluttershy personalities are mostly avoiding these shitstorms...?
Because of the last episode, I am now imagining Dash furiously banging away at the keyboard in support of shipping and AJ banging replies of enough shipping!

>>23149541
They need to make a lot more background ponies.

That just looks lazy.

>>23150091

That's understandable. And I agree that this is different.

I guess my goal in the modding thing was just to see if I could do it, really. It's an interesting thing I've never tried before, disregarding the subject matter.

Not to worry though. This is ultimately a one-time thing. I'll be moving on to my usual hi-jinks now.

>>23150185

If people don't stop talking meta, I'm going to stop posting on /co/ for absolutely no raisin. I'm kind of like Gandhi and Jesus that way. Also, comedy. If there's one genre of fan material for MLP that upsets me more, it's comedy. I'm a small minority, but I'm the right minority. MLP is serious business.

Blue ponies with white hair, blue ponies with white hair EVERYWHERE

>>23150221
That episode had some of the worst animation in the series.

>>23150095
Kill yourself faggot.
Your mom should have aborted you you fucking autist.

>>23150221
it would probably be easy to make an actionscript pony generator that could generate ponies and full animations for them in the various "Stock poses" they keep putting the background ponies in

>use "pose1; looking to the left"
>use "idle animation1; looking left and right and shifting forward feet slightly
>RANDOMIZE PONY
>spits out the flash object fully formed with completely random colors

BOOM, instant crowd consistency

>>23150221
i don't think you're supposed to get a good look them

>>23150244

also lol Unicorn Fluttershy in bottom right

>>23150178
I love Mexican food!

And, as I mentioned already: I personally would post in both. I chose /carcom/ for the suggestion because it's so easily accessible from /co/. I like shipping, and I like in-depth discussions. But there's less and less of the latter as the fanfic stuff becomes more popular.

>>23150221
...It WAS lazy. Whoever set up that scene had a bazillion more background ponies to choose from (we've seen'em all over the place - there are no lyras in that group, just to name one) - but instead opted to drop copies in. Makes it easier to animate, everything, of course, since moving the leg on one character will move it on all of'em, but... yeah. Lazy. Boo.

>>23150127
>At the end of your post, greentext the available options. This makes it clear to everyone what they can do.

Does /co/ really need me to baby them like that?

>One last thing, steal the pony template, and make some reaction faces for your MC and other cast.

I'm not all that artsy, the best thing I have made is this, and it didn't require any drawing. Such a thing probably doesn't exist, but is the a random pony generator anywhere?

I still want to know.

Am I the only person intrigued by the notion of a Zecora/Mayor ship?

Am I the only person who kinda imagines Zecora as about the same age?

>>23150249
>whywubwoo.jpg
why do i not have that image saved?

>>23150221
I can't really blame them. It was a 3 second shot that isn't meant to be analyzed plus they are working with deadlines and anything to put them ahead of it seems like a good idea.

If someone hadn't pointed it out I probably would have never noticed.

>>23150154
It takes place before Celestia/Luna, so everything could be shit tier where magic is involved, or not happening yet (the NANOMACHINES have not been released). And again, he mentioned that ponies were preyed on by other species, so aligning with humans would be a survival choice. And we've been discussing how the humans would be.

My fic had Fluttershy raised by Monster Hunters, who took care of her because she could harass the monsters from leaving the battlefields.

>>23150241
>If people don't stop talking meta, I'm going to stop posting on /co/ for absolutely no raisin.

I wouldn't mind

>>23150207
This actually made me lol

>Tarnation, enough with this manure!

Do you ever post things you really should say anonymously, and then make extra care to make sure you've taken off your trip?

You ever post things just to make other people do a double-take?

>>23150255
Every time I see oversimplified pseudocode I think somebody doesn't have any real experience with coding.

Say that to me with your trip, fucker, and see what happens.

>>23149893
Everyone's angry and aggressive because we don't have our own God-Princess mentor and close friends to go have adventures with.

>>23150314
fear not he wasnt serious it was just a strawman.

>>23150302
i don't know a fucking lick of action script
if it cannot do what i'm describing, it's a shitty scripting language anyway. i mean come on, you just generate entities and assign the same animations to them
java is better

>>23150105
Clipped wing pegasuses. This is starting to get dark. ;_; No, Dash, I won't do that to you
But nah, I don't see the ponies being a conquered people, I do, however, see a pony trade where marauders are lucky enough to have successful raids.
>>23150127
My estimation is that "fair" treatment would vary from nation to nation.

>>23150269

>Zecora/Mayor

Mite b cool. Push it awhile and see if it catches on. I pushed my ship and now it's all over the place. All I gotta say is feels good man.

>>23150269
I'm thinking she's between the ages of the Mayor & the main cast

>>23150268
It's not so much babying as guiding, and I mentioned leaving the "Other" option available. Some people don't always see the available options when you post a lot, so it's a quick tl;dr choices.

Also, someone should have a pony template, I know there were a couple lurking about, even a template of cutie marks was available.

>>23150333
the same thing NOTHING?
hell ill say it. I would be glad if you didnt post here anymore.

>>23150279

The one without the macro.

You're welcome

i really just helped Dino-Fag what's wrong with me

>>23150334

Hey guise, I'm a god.

>>23150335
*ahem*
>ALL I EVER WRITE IS COMEDY
That includes posts.

>>23150298
Nope, anon for life.

I'm in full support of anything other than Shipping or Crossovers to be honest.

>>23150256
Once it's seen, it can't be unseen!

>>23150314
Good job promoting/whoring yourself.

And I don't mean that with any sarcasm at all. That is some good ol' fashion self-promoting that every businessman needs.

>>23150387
I think this guy might be me

>>23150333
I don't have one.

>>23150302
Yeah... dem ponies are complicated. It'd be more work to a) write the actionscript and b) implement it and make sure it's working properly on each background pony, than it would be to just... animate them. Which is no small feat, given that there are like fifty ponies there, but still.

>>23150387
>MFW I'm writing a Doctor Who crossover story with slight hints of shipping.

>>23150420

>>23150367

Could you do me a favor?

>>23150154
Details haven't been worked out. Though, I will say about the unicorns, while Twilight could kick all sorts of ass, I'm not sure every unicorn has that much useful in the way of combat. Most unicorns might be only able to manipulate a small amount with their telekinesis and spells. Rarity's skill with magic is night and day compared to Twilight's. Then again, Trixie was a powerful user herself.

As far as why haven't they risen up? This pre-Celestia/Luna era would be highly chaotic and dangerous. Humans are only one facet of their existance, and maybe even not a major part.

>>23150441
