If loving Ponies makes you an idiot, I don't want to be smart.

EVERYPONY MAKE RHYMING PONY VALENTINES TODAY!

New thread!

Hang on... Scratch is a girl? I totally thought she was a dude until I saw her profile on the mlp wiki this morning.

I hate ponies I hate you I hate everything

isn't today the valentines ship-off thing? shouldn't there be instruction copy-pasta somewhere?

>>23472534

eyelashes = girl
also Equestria is a lesbian paradise

>>23472535

How could you hate meeee?

>>23472534
Male ponies are clearly bigger and have a more rectangular snout.

Also 1/10 male/female ratio etc.

>>23472466

I LOVE YOU GUYS!

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/02/valentines-day-drawfriendwritefriend.html

Could this count for the Valentine's Day shipping contest?

Is it even any good? I'd like to think that the 6 hours I spent coloring it in MS Paint were worth it.

MFW My general is picked,

>>23472591
Looks nice, man!

>>23472579

Haha, Happy valentine's day!

>>23472581

Oh Berry! You're so funny!

>>23472552 Heres the one from Equestria Daily
THE FIRST ANNUAL VALENTINES DAYS MLP SHIP-OFF

DA FUCK?

Like the Drawfriend/writefriend Friendoff, you take somebody else's fanworks and create your own off of it. Only with a Valentines day theme. Relationships, love, lust, infatuation, romance. Chicks dig romance.

OMG SIHPPING IS THE SUXORS

Yeah but dude, c'mon. It's Valentine's Day. Only happens once a year. You wouldn't get upset over grimdark on Halloween, would you?

THAT IS REALLY LIMITING MY CHOICE IN MATERIAL

-Take your favorite ship
-Write/Draw a funny scene of them in valentine's day
>But I don't have a favorite ship
-Go here: pastebin.com/gezJFWKu
-Copy all of the names
-Go here: www.random.org/lists/
-Paste
The first 2 randomized are your new shipping pair.
>I'm not sure if I like this random ship
-Repeat until you find some ship that you find decent
So create something completely original. Maybe people during the actual shipoff will be inspired by yours.

EVEN IF I DIDN'T HATE SHIPPING WITH THE FORCE OF A MILLION SUNS I'M NO GOOD AT IT

Think of it as cross training. Working outside your comfort zone will only make you a better artist/writer. And besides, it's totally voluntary.

Ship-off soon fellow stalker.
Oh really? When?
NOW

>>23472478

>>23472573
I thought she was an effeminate male. Didn't see the eyelashes before.

Suddenly all this fanart with her and Rainbow Dash makes sense to me.

Even if the gun refused to load
Even if romance ran out of ammo
You would still have my heart
Till the end of this war
I Love You

>>23472612
excellent

>>23472634
>Only happens once a year
You've been saying that every day for the past week, and every day there were ships.

There is nothing special about today. Shipping as usual. Don't pretend it's any different.

>>23472639
thank you, also I knew I forgot to post something with the linkboard, and prob good that I did

I cant wait to be a useless peice of shit toaday and talk about all these ponies.

ENOUGH WITH THE CANDY VAG I NEED SOME MEATY DICK

>>23472633

I hate this screenshot...

>>23472676

>unloved virgin doesn't understand the meaning of Valentines Day.

Happy Valentine's Day/St Patrick's Day

>>23472654
Thanks.

Feel free to deliver critique. I don't post with name often, so use this opportunity wisely.

>>23472573

Here's a good example.

Confound these ponies they drive me to slacking and failed exams.

Fuck shipping, I have half a mind to spam the general with filthy gore

But oh well, it's valentine's

So like whatever.

>>23472724

>>23472724
Hatin' helps no one, especially n valentines day.

Okay, I have to go to class, but when I get back, I shall get my Google docs account to stop acting up, finish the fic I'm working on, write something for the ship-off, and hit this thread like the FIST OF AN ANGRY SQUEAK!!!

Away!!

"Somepony loves you, Princess Luna" confirmed for fanfiction of the year, all years.

>>23472708
Oh shit. I just realized that there are 2 females and only 1 male wonderbolt in this pic.

Before this my chauvinistic brain told me all wonderbolts were male.

>>23472676

In a broader sense, why even have a Valentines Day when people love each other every day anyway? Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?

>>23472799

Nice dubs, Scrooge.

>>23472799
Cause people in love are a selfish group of people who feel the need to rub their happiness in everyone elses face.

>>23472798
See? You guys make it sound like it's easy to tell if some of the ponies are female.

>>23472799

Maybe the should just die and decrease the surplus population.

I got a sledgehammer, you can use the chainsaw, lets get dangerous.

Pinkie x Twilight

Well I'm off, one to play a game, and the other to have a nap due to lack of sleep.

I'll be making a FlutterDerp shipping pic for today. any ideas? I was thinking Derpy giving a rose and a letter to Fluttershy.

>>23472798

Ah, but the CAPTAIN is Male. He's in charge, which is how it's supposed to be.

>>23472799
Well, Valentine's is actually 'The Saints Valentines' Day' or 'Saint Valentine's Day', and is a medieval Christian holiday about three martyrs named Valentine (one of whom is associated with romantic love). Medieval peasantry laboured a lot, but got off church feast days to go to church, then drink and generally party (as much as one could then with minimal income anyway). The grind of the schedule left little time for many to express their feelings for their spouses, and most other feasts were 'church, then get smashed and eat'. Valentine's was more 'church, then get smashed, eat, and fuck your spouse because neither of your poor asses have gotten any in ages'.

I sort-of fixed this wall, changed a few things. Expect a version with 20% cooler.. text added in the next few days.

>>23472872
SHUT THE FUCK UP

>>23472836
It is. Y'all are just derpin'.

I will hunt you down and turn you all into glue and dog food.

Everypony needs to cheer up. Why should we feel down? There is always hope, today we don't think about being alone. Think about the people who care for you and your friends. We're still a community and one that will share love. You all deserve a great day everyday and no one is going to stop you.

>>23472699

I dont get it.

>>23472885

How about a version that looks 20% less like a dildo?

>>23472888

Truth hurts.

>>23472836
To be fair the suits they use cover up their eyes and make them look almost identical.

Only way to recognize gender is by looking at the snout and size.

>>23472861

haha oh wow.

>>23472861
WIN.

>>23472836
The boys have squarer jaws/snouts and are usually taller. And they don't take as good care of their manes.

>Stream supplied earlier. (it really should be on the main links guys. It works like a charm.)
>can't stop watching hub bub.

I don't know rather to hate you or love you stream provider. I just called in sick today and ..........well......fuck you. You fucking....fuck.....I love you..... but ....hate you.

Oh joy. The pony threads are turning into r9k.

>>23472948
You can't stop the misogyny.

>>23472541
Someone needs to edit the signboard from that episode of pokemon to say this

Everyone in this thread is my valentine.

>>23472977
Awwwwwwhhh.

>>23472977
gay

>>23472612
Vastly improved from before, very nice finished pic.

Someone should have asked Andrew WK what he thought of MLP & Pinkie Pie.

>>23472977

How cute. :D Accept this as a token of my appreciation.

>>23472977

I don't appreciate the sentiment.

>>23472986
No one is left alone in Pony threads this valentine's day!

>>23472988
People remember that?

Well damn, that's embarrassing... um... *squeek*.

...I was happier before this thread.

Now I'm just depressed at how lonely I am.

What the hell has happened to my life?

>>23473025
I don't know. I'm pretty much you.

What do we do

>>23473025
>>23473036
Hey... I love you. really.

>>23473018
In my opinion, not like it matters, the new Sonic games are pretty bad. Sonic Colors was kind of good and Sonic 4... Well, I haven't tried it yet.

In other news, show some love for Applejack.

>>23473036
You still have us.

>>23473051
High time for a new Applejack episode.

>>23473009
You DARE not leave me alone?! You will never leave this forest...

And oh, yes - we'll have plenty of fun.

>>23473005

You've got me laughing so damn hard, fuck you man. I've got a violent cough right now. I can't believe it, that picture oh man.

Well then, hello it is.

It's really terrible, that even though I would play a god awful MLP Vidya, we're probably never going to get a FiM console Gaem, even though Barbie has thousands.

I was more referring to all the furry shit, but okay

>>23473069

Here, this will help.

>>23473063
Yeah, she's been in a whole lot of episodes so far but i'd like to see another one that's centered around her and maybe Big Mac could get more screentime...

>>23473065
Well, it does sound fun!

Did I hear shipping?

>>23473080
I spent christmas, new year's eve and now valentine's day with ponies.

>mfw

>>23473081
Platitudes of friendship just make it worse when I have absolutely no one here in my scant apartment. Tomorrow I will get up, go to work, come home, drink, come on here, talk in one of these threads and act happy, and get hammered. Repeat.

It's less than appealing.

Isn't it the day St. Valentine was hanged?

>>23473123
How so? Isn't it beautiful you can do so?

>>23473071
You know Lauren or the show staff wouldnt be involved in a FiM game at all and it would be just as bad as the FiM book was and totally miss the point of all the characters

WEEEEEEELLL HE AINT MY BOY BUT THE BROTHER IS HEAVY

Happy valentines day

>>23473180

This is my face everytime someone announces more fanfiction in these threads.

My...my body isn't ready. But my streams are.

Check em, Bronies! Just paste one of these motherfuckers into VLC or Mplayer or whatever and enjoy live ponies in broadcast quality! Or close enough if your Internet connection is shit. I'd like as many people as possible to try them at once so I can get an idea of how many viewers I can handle next week when the episode airs.

MPEG-2 Broadcast retransmission:
http://98.225.184.245:8082
This is the exact same stream in the exact same quality my cable company offers the Hub channel,. Even closed captions are retained. As this is 2000kbps+, you will need a pretty fast connection or to at least set aside a large enough buffer to play this smoothly.

H.264 300kbps
http://98.225.184.245:8083
This one is probably the best one with the best quality for a slower connection. It's actually pretty close to the quality of the above stream outside of things like compression artifacts during fast motion. I'd say it's about slightly better quality than pensivepony's YouTube videos. There may be occasional outages if server machine crashes or whatnot.

450kbps MPEG-2 re-encode
http://98.225.184.245:8084
This one seems a bit more stable than the above but is pretty shitty quality due to MPEG-2's inferior compression at low bitrates. Still, it's pretty watchable and a damn sight better than that flash shit.

All three of these streams are the same resolution my cable company transmits the Hub in, 528x480. I may also offer a reduced resolution stream for really shitty, slow connections.

For anyone with the hub...

1pm EST - Ticket Master
1:30pm EST - Look Before You Sleep

then

7pm EST - Fall Weather Friends
7:30pm EST - Suited for Success

On a plus note hopefully TrollHD or whoever is making the HD rips will be able to snatch up Ticket Master & Look Before You Sleep, so we get them in delicious 720/1080p.

>>23473203
Yes

Your v-day.
Is my /v/ day.

Forever alone.

Okay, so does anyone here care about non-shipping fanfiction? Does that Equestria Daily want anything non-shipping?

>>23473238
NON-SHIPPING?! Then...how would we masturbate to ponies?

>>23472977
aw

also there's a finished version of this out there somewhere, i know it

I never realized how relevant this macro would become after last weeks episode.

>>23473157
Dude, even as a Sonic fan, I have to call SatAM shit. People remember it for being grimdark but it was anything but. If you watch it recently, like I did, you'll find plot holes everywhere and incompetence on all the characters parts. Sonic could have killed or captured Robotnik any time in the series but chose not to. AoStH can get away with being deligtfully retarded because its not meant to be taken at staight value, but SatAM is, so its subject to analysis, and when you do that you'll realize how shitty it is. Comics are great though.

>>23473131
Saint Valentine was in love with a girl, and as a saint you cannot do that. The church threw him in jail and told him to renounce his love; he would not. He would write letters to his love everyday signed "your Valentine". The church eventually gave up and hanged him.

>>23473238
I like gen fic. Please write some.

Captcha: ndstin Griffin

I think that means captcha wants some Gilda fic

>>23473238

I only read grimderp fics tbh, nothing else really holds my attention.

LAUREN SPEAKS

Is it okay to be fan of MLP but not like seeing all the drawings of them having sex and making out?

>>23473273
Yeah, but it was better than the other show

>>23473131
Possibly. It's actually for three saints all named Valentine. The most notable one was actually beheaded. There's a medieval myth about him leaving a message on the wall of his cell for a woman who came to comfort him in the time up to his execution. ...She converted and ultimately became a martyr herself.
Love stories were different at one time. A lot more...killy.

>>23473211
That GyroBowl looks fucking awesome.

I'll buy twenty.

Also, thanks for streamin brony.

At least /co/ doesn't get defensive and bitter over Valentines.

/v/ is an emotional wreck at the moment for example.

I can't even imagine how bad /r9k/ would've been.

>>23473302
You shouldda been here when the show just started.

>>23473302
It's totally okay. It's just like on Fridays when everyone is spoiling the show; you'll just have to go away. Or ignore it.

Wait it's valentines day

I don't even give a shit

>>23473302
Absolutely. You are not alone in a sea of weird fuckers.

>>23473293
God damnit Lauren stop being so goddamn awesome.

>>23473318
That was when I thought you were all gay for liking the show until I actually sat down and watched it.

>>23473278
It wasn't the church. It was pagan Romans. Valentine was a Christian who wouldn't offer to Sol Invictus, which was against the law at the time, so he was arrested, tortured, and still refusing to render homage to Sol Invictus, he was beheaded. He was a priest, but at the time clerical celibacy was more of a choice (it only became mandatory in most western rites around 1100, and had to do with property law). He wasn't hanged, his head was cut off and he was dismembered. His family had influence to get it back though. His skull is now in Dublin, since the 1800s, and most of his other body parts are in churches in Italy.

>>23473302
Absolutely. Shippers just happen to be a very vocal part of FiM community.

Nothing wrong with it but it gives a wrong impression sometimes.

>>23473304
Than Underground? Most agreed, good sir. If your talking smack about AoStH, I'll have to challenge you to a duel.

>>23473311

Head to /b/. They're just as bad as /r9k/ was.

>>23473293
Meh.

I wasn't even offended by the episode, but I've always hated that "Virginia there is a Santa Claus" shit. The kid is asking an honest question. She legitimately wants to know, "Is there actually a guy who ACTUALLY wears a red suit, and physically comes down our chimneys? And are my parents and other adults lying to me when they insist that he flies around with reindeer?" and that columnist gave her this cheesy "spirit of Santa" and "choose to believe in something you know isn't real" crap. I'm glad my parents gave me real honest answers straight up when I asked about Santa.

>>23473338

Newfags don't know that gay men watch professional wrestling and read cape comics.

>>23473140
Book? Where may I read this book?

>>23473302
attention whores gonna beg for attention, and the easiest way to get attention is to make porn out of something that already has an audience (i.e. MLP, startrek World of Warcraft etc) and then shove it in your faces, all the while thinking they are gods gift to mankind.

I do not think highly of people who draw porn.

>>23473339

Like all holidays, the modern incarnation is completely divorced from its origins, and frankly, they're more enjoyable that way.

>>23473293
...
I feel like a bitter old husk right now.

>>23473366

>shove it in our faces
>it's spoilered

LOL

>>23473302
Yeah, it's cool. We do encourage people to spoiler that shit if they feel they MUST post it though.

>>23473302
tottaly normal and apropriate dude.

personaly i have a fucked up sense of humor, so i find the pony porn to be hillarous, but I can join you at least in not fapping (or cloping as the term may be) to them.

>>23473293

Dear Lauren,

Scientists say there's no such thing as Bigfoot. Is this true?

-Virginia

>>23473357
It comes with the vinyl pack. Its been scanned a couple of times, Its turrible

>>23473367
I like how they celebrated it in the middle ages, actually.

Sure, I'd sleep through mass probably, like all holidays where I had to go to church, but then it was a day long booze cruise. ...Though most medieval holidays were like that.

>>23473379

not always...

You ponyfags are sexist pigs promoting rape culture. The womyn in me is crying ATM.

Not the guy who asked, but I feel put at ease now. I felt like I was the only person in these threads who didn't care for that sort of thing.

>>23473357

It's really not worth reading. It's just the first two episodes of the series compressed into one story.

I made a pair of cuteish valentine pics but my scanner is busted. Will work on fixing it.

>>23473395
Dear Virginia,
Some Scientists say there is little chance of their being a large primate in North America, however there are other scientists who believe there are. I recommend you read some books by both sides and then make up your mind.
Sincerely,
Anon posing as Lauren

>>23473376
It's okay. I called my parents on the Santa lie when I was like, 5. They gave up and just told me not to ruin it for my brother.
It didn't affect my enjoyment of the season, or the joy and happiness, and it made me appreciate my presents WAY MORE, because I could look at my parents and THANK THEM, rather than just say "look what Santa got me" and then tear the present open and play with it.

I don't know what the deal is with pretending that Santa is real somehow adds any extra enjoyment to a festive holiday of fun, songs, food and family. It almost cheapens it, IMHO.

>>23473423

LOL

>>23473395
>>23473351
You guys are the stereotypical atheists.

All logic is right, except logic that breaks down your logic.

>>23473441

There's no such thing as Bigfoot, dude. Get over it.

Colored, but i couldn't think of anything clever to put in the sign

>>23473412
>mfw my morbid curiosity always wins in the end

I need more self-discipline.

>>23473351
tl;dr

I was a happy little fucker when I was kid, especially on christmas when you could even taste the magic in the air. Now as a 20-something adult I still miss that innocent sense of wonder and excitement.

I dont see what is wrong with having a child have fun like this.

>23473429

I always wondered why Santa's signature looked like my mom's handwriting.

>>23473441

Agnostics are more fun, at least we leave the door open for the unknown.

>>23473293
Oh Lauren u so silly

>>23473452

Or you could just pull the stick out of your butt and relax.

>>23473464

Right. Maybe there is a Santa Claus.

No one will ever know.

>>23473441
Wait, what? I'm >>23473351 and I never said I was an atheist, unless there's some sort of Santa-atheism I didn't know about.... are you actually saying that there's a group of adults who actually BELIEVE there is a Santa Claus?

>>23473339
And the woman he loved in the medieval story was just the daughter of a pagan Roman aristocrat who'd come to talk to him. They didn't really give a shit about his 'love' for her, but the myth did include him leaving a message on the wall before he was taken to die, and he's a saint of romantic love, but only because he, in that myth, draws strength from a combination of his faith and his love for this woman.

>>23472915
The wonderbolts all have the same hairstyle too. I always thought they were male because all the royal guards are male and I figured they were like the special forces. It seems like two could indeed be female. All the royal guard is male, right?

>>23473429
My parents didn't want to lie to me and my siblings, so they always told us that Santa Claus was a fun game of pretend that everyone played every year. We didn't believe in him, but we thought it was a game so we never spoilered it for other people.

>>23473414
Haha, there are more of us who don't care for it than people think. I appreciate the anons who respect that I dont care to draw it when requesting art/etc.

>>23473310
Welcome. Which one are you watching?

>>23473476

>are you actually saying that there's a group of adults who actually BELIEVE there is a Santa Claus?

Sort of. More or less.

>>23473293
Santa's real. I say if someone is dressed as Santa and giving away presents than he is fucking Santa.

Anyone can be Santa it's the spirit of Santa that lives on

There are plenty of other places on the internet where they can talk about how hard candy-colored ponies make their dicks.

And shipping fanfiction is for like 13-year-old girls. At least people are STARTING to post links to Google Docs instead of just posting them in the threads.

This is what I get for trying to educate people on the internet.

Inbefore shitstorm.

Lauren Faust speculates that only the corners of the girl's fantasy are the limits of the achievable. She trying to let her down easy, very easy, but still give it a bit of flare she (seemingly) gives all her shows.
Because, you know, in truth there are no limits to what is possible. There might well be a flying spaghetti monster, there might be a magical land of Equestria, there might even be a Santa Claus.
Only YOU are keeping the door closed.

There is no flying spaghetti monster. That's the whole point of the joke.

Soon we'll be able to communicate between one another solely with exploitable sign pics

Lauren Faust doesn't want an eight year old girl to cry. SURPRISE: lame brained ideologues have a problem with this.

Why is this picture so fucking goddamn awesome?

Every aspect seems weirdly perfect to me.

Is anyone else seeing this.

>>23473366
So is it attention whoring if I repost art that isn't r34'd?

>>23473583

Dude, give us title, synopsis, keywords, etc.

>>23473589
It's trixie, bro, epitome of perfect and greatness right there.

>>23473429

Its used mostly as a way to get kids to behave at least 1 month out of the year. How many times have you seen kids act up and parents threaten how Santa won't bring them presents this year?

And honestly, the threat of some omnipotent man in red, monitoring your every move has lost its impact since every mall has 12 santas the day after thanksgiving. I did try to spread the rumor of Santa's special forces acting as decoys since a kidnapping attempt (it was a plot from a cartoon... don't remember which one). Unfortunately the kids in my family aren't convinced since I've brought up crazier ideas in the past.

I also called my family out when I was 6... it was pretty obvious since Santa was only 5 1/2 ft tall and smelled like beer, just like my uncle does.

>>23473596

It's attention whoring if you talk shit anonymously about posters who are actually contributing.

>>23473567
that's as many as two tens!

>>23473366

So you hate porn in general.

>>23473585
>Lauren Faust doesn't want an eight year old girl to cry.

You realize that isn't actually her letter, right?
It's a famous letter.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes,_Virginia,_there_is_a_Santa_Claus

God damn it I hate that The-Huntsman guy, he's so immensely buttmad at the whole Derpy thing it really annoys me and I would just like to tell him to shut the fuck up and deal with it but I don't want to shit up Lauren's DA even more.
I bet that fag was once trolled really hard by /b/ and now he hates everything related to Anonymous and this is why he loathes whenever we have nice things like Derpy, because in his mind he was once again defeated by the people he loathes.

>>23473611
>attention whoring
>anonymously

You lost me.

>>23473623

We've been bothered by the Cuntsman pretty much since the beginning.

>>23473488
personally, I don't believe in santa claus. I believe in the joy this figure brings at the end of the year. same way I don't believe in the Christian religion, but I believe that there is a larger force out there. also love and respect each other and such.

I love ponies. they make me feel happy and help me stay away from /b/ and the mental corruption it has given me.

>>23473580

If you can't figure out what adults who say they believe in Santa Claus are really talking about, then.... well, I guess I don't know what to tell you.

>>23473623
More than likely, he's just a rectally wounded DA user. Possible /b/-tard, definitely underaged.

In Lauren's own words, she's a big girl. I'm sure she can ignore morons when she spots them.

>>23473630

You don't think anon can be an attention whore? The entire act of trolling is an exercise in attention whoring.

Desperately trying to get people to respond to you, even getting negative responses, is attention whoring.

>>23473621

I feel foolish now.

>>23473580
So? I dont think that's very excessive. Atleast he doesn't raise the sun and the moon everyday.

>>23473643

What you're saying is, you don't really believe in Santa Claus but for some reason you're dodging the admission that you don't.

>>23473610
>How many times have you seen kids act up and parents threaten how Santa won't bring them presents this year?

Yeah, it's probably even more effective when your parents say "We aren't buying you presents this year." LOL

>it was pretty obvious since Santa was only 5 1/2 ft tall and smelled like beer, just like my uncle does.
Fuck i LOLd so hard

>>23473653

Yeah you may be right, probably his OC recolors never made into his favorite show and now he's just jelly.

>>23473567

Bullshit~ ♫
Possibility may seem limitless to non-omniscient people like us, but in the end there's only one reality, and anything about X existing or not is ALREADY true or ALREADY false.
Reality doesn't give a fuck about your beliefs.

Don't feel too bad, I guess that letter isn't as commonly known as I thought.

>>23473550
What you seem to not get is what the "Yes virginia" letter is about

the original never said there was a fat man in the north pole, but that ideal of Santa Claus is real

>>23473500
As much as I want to agree with you... I agree with you, except for the 13 year-old part.

>>23473507
OH DEAR GOD ITS A SLENDERMAN PONY

>>23473691
So you don't want attention whoring, and you don't want r34.
And if OC is attention whoring, I gather you basically just want reaction images and macros.

>>23473293

I liked the Ranger one better. I honestly hope it's true and not someone just bullshitting.

>>23473711
Yeah, but it's obvious that's what the girl was actually asking.
It's like if I asked someone "Hey, is there any coffee?" and they answered with this long drawn out explanation of how "there's always coffee somewhere, and the time spent drinking coffee with friends is so valuable and really, don't we always have the spirit of coffee with us at all times, anyway?" when all i want is a straight fucking answer. No? There's no coffee? OKAY.

>>23473739

There's a married couple. There's a mother with foal. Ponies reproduce normally.

Thats his shtick though. Making people butthurt over the fact he constantly complains about being butthurt.

>>23473429

The idea of Santa has unfortunately turned into commercial fat man who stalks kids to make sure they behave.
I am pretty sure it was supposed to represent the good will towards total strangers that is supposed to mark the holiday season. Yes, you appreciate it when your parents give gifts and you should know when they do and the sacrifices they make to get the gifts. This makes a child appreciate their parents.
But the idea of a total stranger going out and freely giving gifts out of the generosity of his heart to kids who deserve them . . . THAT is something that can allow a child to believe that the world isn't as horrible a place as the news media wants us all to think it is. That there are still good people out there willing to be generous and fair to others they have not even met.
That is the whole concept behind why parents teach their kids of Santa. Are there other ways to do this? Certainly. It's just that Santa is already established so why not use him.

>>23473788

I like her design - very cute.

>>23473788

>>23473794
You made that? Sweet. Wanna make more?

Make every shot you pick one where Pinkie is also looking at the camera if possible.

>>23473746

There is no need to argue /co/. I believe in you, even if you don't believe in me! Now enjoy the rest of this thread and have a happy day!

>>23473832
Thanks santa, sorry you had to see this.

i am so sick of your bullshit /co/ ever since last year you have turned into the most cancerous board on 4chan you used to be cool but now youre just full of stuck up pretentious hipsters that think everything is somehow good even when it clearly sucks i mean fucking christ cartoons died back during the goddamn 90's why do you think everyone on this site only gets excited when talking about that because there was nothing good palyed back then but you guys simply refuse to mature and grow up so now you waste your time with poorly written and terribly animated flash drivel just to ignore the reality of the outside world. it baffles me how such a collection of lsoers can really maintain and deal with each other without any type of anger or rage but i guess when youre all so fuckign pathetic and immature nobody cares about who the fuck they talk to. i hate you i hate this my little pony bullshit and i hope the fad dies as soon as fuckign possible and then maybe you can get order back to your own shitty board and continue being pretentious cunts

>>23473832

Fuck off, Santa. Ponies are more important than you,

>>23473832
Daddy?

>>23473822

Well, since you requested it, sure. I won't tell you where they are though. And I'll post them anonymously, just like last time.

on an unrelated note, though pony pron simply makes me laugh, Santa porn gets me all sorts of hard. well okay, mostly its just girls in santa costumes, but still, hot as hell.

>>23473844

You're on the naughty list now.

>>23473911

I am an MLP who does not actively partake in shipping and fanfiction. I would prefer cuter, adventurous stuff like their day to day lives in the show already. The shipping stuff I like is mostly the fanart and quick one liners. It's nice, but most of the time I wouldn't read a whole story about it.

But I think people should draw and write whatever they want. Except Guro fiction and art, that creeps me out.

If I were sitting next to you, I'd slap you on the back of the head right now.
Reality is my hand moving through the air and colliding with your skull, and the booming sound of the blow resounding in that large empty space. It is the neurons that transmit the sensation to your brain and that tissue that gets a well-deserved headache.
Reality is that aspirin you take, the fact that you take it, the fact that it has active components that interact with your body, and the fact that it makes the pain go away.

Reality is what is real. It is not open for debate, it is not subjective, it goes about its business without ever giving a fuck about anyone's delusions. And you can spout pseudo-philosophical baloney until the cows come home, and make life a lot more complicated than it needs to be, or you can accept reality and try to know it.

>>23473866
Oh dude, I was fucking petrified of Santa and the Easter Bunny from a very young age. Those fuckers break into your house! While you're sleeping, no less! And you're just supposed to trust them not to fuck anything up? No sir, that doesn't sit well with me.

That's probably the biggest reason as to why I called my parents out on Santa when I was about 4. They came clean right away. I slept a lot better on Christmas Eve from then on.

>>23473758
Link works for me. I thought it was sweet.

>>23473293
That's adorable. It's a shame most anons are bitter old husks who will actually complain that Faust didn't start screaming how Santa isn't real to a little girl. I like pony threads more before /b/ got their grubby little hands on them. Aw well, live and let die.

>>23473937

Silly Rarity, Dark Elves aren't fashionable at all!

>>23473730

>>23473962
Agreed. The show really is for shits and giggles to Hasbro, isnt it?

>>23473751

He should totally copyright it.

>>23473917

Well I always start out with the logical stuff.

-How old is he/she.
-What is him/her 's place in the universe (in this case, what does your pony do).
-Were does he/she live?
-Does he/she have parents?
-What is his/her 's favorite food.
-Does he/she have any likes/dislikes
-Is he/she Evil/Good?
-Is your pony a he-she?
-Parents, Friends, Relatives?

Just some thing's off the top of my head that you should ask yourself when creating a new character.

tl,dr; Pick and choose something.

You know, seeing those toys makes me feel reeeeal creepy for watching the show. Luckily I have Derpy to keep me sane.

Fuck you, Hasbro.

Kill it with fire, then make new stuff.

>>23473980
>It has been part of pop culture for over 100 years people

I think it's just in a tad higher category than pop culture. It's more like a historical thing. I guess....

>>23473914
The Krampus is european

He's a demon that travels with St Nicholas that whips bad kids

>>23473941
If I were sitting next to you, I'd snap your neck and show you real reality.

Who thought bay ponies would be a good seller anyway? I mean, if they looked like the bay poies from the show, I could see it, but human baby crossbreed things? Why would Pinkie Pie need to learn to walk, shes a god damned pony!

>>23474072
Be good or Santa will punish you with a demon.

That's awesome.

I think the important question here is, do the ponies believe in santa claus? Awesome winter holidays were mentioned, but what is the non-denominational pony christmas equivalent? Also, what would be a good name for a pony santa? the best I can think of is santa clop, but thats stupid.

>>23474070
The 2008 Macy's Believe holiday commercial featured Jessica Simpson, Donald Trump, Martha Stewart and others quoting various popular lines from "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus." The opening lines appeared again in the 2009 Believe holiday commercial featuring Queen Latifah.

In 2009, Macy's and Macy's ad agency JWT produced Yes, Virginia, a CGI animated Christmas special, after pitching and selling the idea to CBS. “Yes, Virginia” is a fictionalized version of the Virginia O'Hanlon story.

>>23474070
Like that letter in which a girl convinces Abraham Claus that he'd be much more handsome with a beard. And that's why Santa has a beard.

>>23474095
Santa is a reindeer with a sleigh pulled by humans, of course.

>>23473962

Saddest thing is, we'll most likely continue to get stuff like this, and ponies that have either never been on the show at all, or have gotten like 3 seconds of airtime, while characters like Luna, Trixie, Big Mac, Zecora, etc., will never get a toy.

>>23473941
Have sex with me? Blunt rationality is a turn-on.
Seriously. Dude. Hot.

>>23473941
Reality also doesn't care about love, justice, kindness, or anything else. Death said it best: "Take the universe and grind it down to the finest powder, and sieve it through the finest sieve, and then show me one atom of justice, one molecule of mercy."

But you know what, we still believe in all those things. If you get right down to it, it's because by some fluke of evolution we're sentient and have complex minds. When you give us these things, suddenly the world becomes more than just "eat, sleep, sex", it becomes about what we feel. And if all we feel is despair or pain or even just apathy, then that brain we have goes to waste and we end up dead cause we don't care about remaining alive. So the many flukes of evolution also granted us hope and love and happiness and everything else, so that in our life we have something to look forward to, to survive and live.

We need these things, as surely as we need air. It doesn't matter that realistically the human race could die off and the universe wouldn't even stop to blink. In the here and now, in our small, concentrated world, these things are as real as every scientific law, theory, whathaveyou. We may be made of stardust, but these things are what make us more than just a collection of atoms, into humans.

Alright faggots I'm not a brony and I doubt I ever will be.

BUT.

I will make a simple request. But first some explanation.
Now, I've never saged or shit on your threads so long as there is only one and not 5 fucking threads.
So I've never been one of those "GTFO ponyfags". You like what you like, big fucking deal. I fap to Toph looking like a goddamn overstuffed bodybuilder.

So here is my request.
If you can find me a link to watch online what you consider to be the best (or at least the most representative of the series) and I will watch it and give it a fair shot.

Why should you do this?
Well, I guess you have no reason to. But it couldn't hurt, right? I mean, I'm not even saging so it bumped your thread. No image, so you aren't going to lose one.

>>23473351
Santa Claus was once Nikolaos of Myra, a bishop of the Christian church. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, and he may or may not have punched a famous heretic. His bones have been measured; he was five feet tall, and had a broken nose.

When he died, he was given the task of going through the multiverse on Christmas, to spread joy and giving. In Narnia, he was long held back by Jadis of Charn, but his arrival and gifts to the Pevensies heralded the return of Aslan.

Skepticism says most of the interesting things we humans have every thought of most likely don't exist. That's why we have stories of alternate realms to make up for it. So that we just a chance to celebrate those most likely non-existent things.

We understand the reasoning behind what Lauren did. It was still a mistake, though. Let's hope she does something to make up for it.

Look, if I ever have kids I'm not going to do the Santa thing with them, but can't you at least understand why he was compared to justice and mercy? He gives good kids presents and bad ones coal; he exists as a fairy tale avatar universal good and justice. He's not there because kids wouldn't be good without him, he's there because he allows them to dream that the world can be a beautiful, honest place.

I consider Pale Blue Dot pretty much the ultimate affirmation that yes, our experiences do matter, if only in a very very small and concentrated part of existence.

Parasprite infestation is at maximum saturation and we seem to have misplaced our banjo.

I honestly just skim these threads for OC at this point, and try to leave positive feedback for the contributors. The rest is just pure, unfiltered autism.

I've been on 4chan for a long time, but it even now it still amazes me sometimes how people can sit in these threads all day every day and argue/troll with the same dumb shit, over and over. Like the exact same shit, ver batim. Seriously how bored do you even have to be?

If we could just get all the artists to move over to the other chan, I truly would not even look back.

Anyone have the snails and twilight sex picture?
