Sweetie ep is going to be god tier!

Terse, you make me feelings.

>actually talking about the show.

Yeah sure. That'll happen.
At the Gala and Art of the dress are still my favorites.
Luna isn't actually going to be mean.

Nightmare night is going to be fan favorite for this season. I can just feel it.

>>30564367
> 1) Favourite songs! Which songs of Season 1 really resonated with you? Which do you still listen to? What are you hoping for from Season 2's extensive musical line-up? Share your thoughts.
No actual song, but the BGM when Celestia reunites with Luna

> 2)Theories and speculation on the three confirmed episodes so far, dated for October 15th, October 29th and November 5th - Lesson Zero, in which Twilight Sparkle finds herself without a lesson to report on to Princess Celestia, Nightmare Night, in which Princess Luna attempts to repair her besmirched reputation, or Sisterhooves Social, in which Sweetie Belle struggles with convincing Rarity to participate in a rough and tumble sporting event.
Luna will be an evil pony playing evil prank on other ponies, juts like Gilda or Trixie.
Deal with it.

Flutterguy's version of Evil Enchantress.
It should've gone on for longer.

>>30564367
1, You gotta Share, You gotta Care is Underrated

2, I can't wait for the Halloween episode. The tears of Lunafags will be so delicious.

Singing telegram.

I wonder how many times Pinkie will be breaking into song this season. She had, like, 9? last season right?

You gotta share, you gotta care
You gotta share, you gotta care
You gotta share, you gotta care
You gotta share, you gotta care
You gotta share, you gotta care

I liked Winter Wrap Up best. Voices other than just the mane cast.

>>30564405
i make me feel things too
i enjoy feelings

>>30564410
>>30564425
>>30564443
why are people so set for evil luna? why can't she just be a ridiculous, rascally rapscallion?

>>30564401
Rarity will either come out of it as the most liked pony or the most hated.

>>30564450
Bitch, she is not Generosity, she is Laughter. She does whatever she wants.

HOLY SHIT NEW EPISODE IS TOMMOROW. I seriously totally forgot Busy fucking week

>>30564443
stupid sexy pinkie in that burlesque outfit

all of my whyboners

>>30564449
I like her voice but i want a Sweetie song and Dash too.

>>30564467
I like her but i want Sweetie!

>>30564464
I think Luna is going to be a shy pony who is ashamed at what she has done. She will talk softly and she will be very apologetic. She will feel like everything is her fault. Fluttershy-like, but not to that much extent.

Speculation

Lesson Zero: Time travel episode. Twilight travels back in time to spend more time with each of her friends and come up with a lesson. She still gets nowhere. She keeps running into herself and causality hijinks ensue.
Nightmare Night: Luna crashs the Ponyville halloween party. She's slightly mischievous and perhaps a bit pouty when it comes to her image. But is all around a well-rounded character. Also, she has a penis
Sisterhooves Social: lesbian incest orgy

>>30564464
The road to evil often starts with rascally-ness

>>30564464
>>30564443

I think by "tears of the Luna fags" he means no matter how Luna is portrayed, 99% of the fanon will be destroyed.

>come home from work
>pony thread on the front page
Alright, off to a good start.

>>30564464
I didn't she will be evil. But she will not be like a lot of 'bronies' imagined, and they will bitch about it all day long.

I would shit my pants if we saw Luna with an abacus, though.

>>30564367
I'm probably the most vanilla person there is, so Imma say Winter wrap-up. I really have a hard time deciding which pony/song/episode I like best tho, They're all so good. I just write down what comes to my mind first. And the harder I think about the episodes, the more my mind goes blank. The third episode is pretty clear, everything's been said about halloween, Sisterhooves Social... I'm a bit meh about it, but that's because I don't care much for Rarity *hides under the table for cover*

The second villain in season 2 won't be as good as Discord

;_;

>>30564502
>time travel
I really hope this is wrong. All the errors in continuity that would arise as a result of Twilight being able to go back in time would be awful.

>>30564510
Hey, LD. You're the master of creepy stuff around here. Will you take a shot at my weird ponification request?

>>30564502

>Also, she has a penis

She should really give that back to Big Mac.

1. Art of the Dress. Though at the Gala gets a lot of points for Dash singing.

2. Shit will be awesome.

>>30564502

Im okay with one of this ideas but you have to guess which one.

>Implying is not obvious

>>30564464
I'd probably rather have an evil Luna rather than another prankster. I'm hoping more for a fluttershy-type, meself.

The next villain will be a zebra dude and we'll get more sexy sexy Zecora

>>30564543
As opposed to the flying spells and teleportation spells and mind control spells?

>>30564510
You streaming tonight?

>>30564544
>Uhh, Luna? Can ah have that back now?

>>30564555
Nigga you just went full retard.

>>30564506
>>30564511
true, that's a good point. but i imagine most of us will be pretty much happy to have canon anyway, canon trumps fanon 100% of the time.
if she has an abacus i will lose my shit and never recover

>>30564401
Aw yeah. I don't even care about the event thing, I just want to see Sweetie Belle and Rarity together. Or just Sweetie being adorable.

1) I liked them all but Singing Telegram was probably my favorite. It was both witty and heartwarming, "No need to bring a gift, being there will be enough / Birthdays mean having fun with friends not getting lots of stuff" used to get me pretty hard.
>>30564444 confirmed by quads too.

2) Fuck yeah Sweetie Belle/Rarity episode, cannot freaking wait. I hope Luna turns out to be an interesting personality, I haven't followed the fanon much since I don't particularly find her compelling, but I rather like the comics where she's a trickster.

Well, time to go and eat my gyros with steak fries and then some pancakes.

Have a nice thread everyone.

>>30564514
It'll be close. I'm guessing Trixie will be brought back with her own "friends" to form an Dark Mane Six

>>30564584
Terse I don't understand the whole abacus thing.

>>30564567
That's my point, there are already enough resultant plot-holes (lol) from the stuff that we've been given evidence of already. Time Travel would be the nail in the coffin for sensible continuity.

>>30564574
That dick belongs to Fluttershy.

>>30564555
In the new episode, Luna will gang up with Gilda and Trixie to play pranks on the mane cast.

>>30564593
fuck yeah gyros

[Repost from prior thread because I didn't realize it had hit limit and everyone had moved]

>>30564501
To be fair I haven't been seriously considering it until a few days ago.

And grimdark always gets the wrong connotation but it's hard to give an appropriate term for what I want to do. Corrupted? Twisted? IDK. Not "grr rawr I am completely nuts out of my head and am going to kill everypony for no reason other than I think it's cool to do so" but more "Something has fucked up my life to the point where I don't even care what anyone thinks anymore so I might as well be a right bastard and indulge in my base wants"

>>30564601
I think you're thinking about it entirely the wrong way.

>>30564586
I agree.

>>30564490
Dash hasn't had a major part in a song yet and it's criminal

>>30564444
I like you. We should be bros.

Guys guys
Hey listen
Like
I have a great idea
guys
what if
okay hear me out
Season 2 villain comes out
kills important people
kicks the shit out of spike
cuts off his arm
rape Twilight in front of him while soldiers of the villain holds him down and forces him to watch
leave them for dead
takes over the land
Spike survives
A struggler if you will
Twilight becomes full retarded and mute
Spike sets out for revenge against the villain

Good idea?

>>30564620
I mean his dick BELONG to her if you catch my drift.

>>30564625
'Nihilistic' might be a better word for that.

>>30564502
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT
WHY DO YOU EXIST
1. WWU was, and still is, my favorite song.
2. If there's no song in Lesson Zero, I'ma lay the smackdown on this whole fucking thread.

>>30564634
Dash's parts break the budget, with all those guitars and orchestra and whatnot. 1 song per season, no ifs and or butts.

>>30564598
>Trixie will be brought back with her own "friends" to form an Dark Mane Six
FANFICTION ALERT WOO WOO

>>30564600
it's a >fanfiction thing. the fanfic progress made it popular for luna to be backwards and whatnot, and to a certain degree, it made sense, but then it exploded and became silly. just consider it popular fanon and ignore it, you know?

>>30564634
Who else has sung (lead) outside of Sweetie Belle and Pinkie Pie?

>>30564511
I can see her using her magic to keep a pony from running away so she can explain things.
Then forgetting she was still using her magic.

>>30564584

I am pretty excited for a canon Luna, and after seeing that leaked screen of her, I'm sure that most of the fandom will be happy for her to get it.

But Luna with an abacus would be adorable.

>>30564634
I BEEN DREAMING I BEEN WAITING, TO FLY WITH THOSE GREAT PONIES!
Etc.

Also, my heart nearly bursts at how she sings "They'll shower us with diamonds."

>>30564367

1. At the gala, that Dash solo, that pony pokey.

2. Luna should luna luna

>>30564643
We already are brochacho.

>>30564634

>>30564646
...I think I get your drift, in which case, carry on.

>>30564573
Most likely.

Also have hit a mental block on my Wizard tumblr.

Not sure where to go now.

>>30564675

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxw18K65kMY&feature=related

Luna will be nothing like any current fanon interpretation.

>>30564662
Rarity.

>>30564669
>>30564675
At The Gala was nice but all 6 of them had a short solo, I mean giving her a major part like Twilight had in Winter Wrapup or Rarity in Suited For Success

>>30564692
Well, she'll probably be like one of the fanon interpretations.

What do you think she'll be like, anon?

>>30564666
exactly. what more is there to do but enjoy the wait and speculation? i don't think anything will be quite as good as the real thing, but, you know. i absolutely love the idea of a mischievous luna anyway, so fingers crossed!

i'm not going to say you're not entitled to your opinions. it might well be adorable! i just don't find myself a fan of the idea, if you know what i mean.

>>30564679

She is.

>>30564707
They'll take the Trollestia fanon and apply it to Luna.

>>30564707
I think she'll be a jerk.

>>30564702
Maybe they will. Maybe they won't. Maybe fuck yourself

>>30564707

Hopefully she'll be an earth destroying cunt.

>>30564727
But why?

>>30564679
That's right.

>>30564666
I agree with both your points, Satan.

>>30564725
>>30564730

I'm sure that's somebody's interpretation somewhere.

>>30564685
That picture demands color!

>>30564714

I've only read one fanfic where she has an abacus, and that's the one where she blows up the microwave after screwing up popcorn. I don't want her to carry it around or anything, but just a shot where it's in her room or something sounds cute.

>>30564760

Yea, I guess. Someone's going to win, there's just too many Lunafags.

I'm hoping Luna is awkwardly out of sorts, but by no means shy.
She just doesn't know what is considered proper behavior anymore and comes off as rude but is shown to be caring in her way.

Luna is going to be a vanilla pony with little character development. The fans will love this because it will still leave a lot open for interpretation.

>>30564686
Alrighty, looking forwards to it.

Are people fans of Luna or Nightmare Moon?

>>30564765
It needs a lot more than color, but I haven't seen Jack draw anything but women and lesbians since... Well, pretty much since this sketch.

>>30564774
Just what we need. ANOTHER episode only tangentially related to a bullshit fanfic for the fandom to go autistic about.

>>30564774
that's the one i was talking about. the progress series by andrew j talon, if i remember correctly. it might well be cute, but i just don't like the idea. maybe because it'd be pandering to popular fanon and as a luna writer, i'd feel snubbed? i don't know, man, but point is, much as it'd be cute, i'd love to not see it at all, or, at most, see a subversion - say, she makes fun of someone else for using an abacus, or something.

>>30564794
I am a dan of both. Mostly because they both have really nice designs.

>>30564810
>dan
shut up blanka

>>30564810

Well then shut up "dan"

>>30564794

Both.

You couldn't have one without the other.

Who's your favorite kid?

>>30564794
BOTH!

>>30564823
>Couldn't have Luna without NMM
what

>>30564760

The screen shot we saw of Luna is all a fantasy in her head.


Because she's in fucking prison. You don't pull that shit, cry to your sister and all is forgiven.

There you go, character development and why she is never seen.

On a side note, applejack should apple apple.

>>30564835
Jade and Dave are both pretty great. John and Rose seem more one-dimensional in comparison.

>>30564857
More like Applerape

>How about a villain that runs around eating ponies to gain more power, so he can get revenge on Celestia.

>>30564886
that is my fetish

>mfw I accidentally start a giant vitriolic argument in IRC by being my usual blunt self like I usually am on /co/

Yeesh, I forgot how much people's opinions differed outside of this board. Opps.

>>30564913
I love being that guy. I call myself the conversation arsonist.

Start a small dispute between two people or groups and back away watching the firestorm spread.

>>30564883

I could have used the 720 but instead, I accidentally threw that p.o.s. together in 2 minutes with lower quality.

>>30564425
The victory song after beating Nightmare Moon was my favorite too. All 18 seconds. I was hoping that the CD would have a longer version, but I don't even know if there will be a CD released.

>>30564807

Fair enough. You've got a pretty legitimate reason for your opinion, and I can respect that.

>>30564939

What the hell is a "CD"? They still make those?

http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/10/dealing-with-media-psa.html

[...]
It’s important to remember that when talking to the media, we need to put our best hoof forwards. Despite the immense popularity of MLP:FiM on the Internet, the average person still has not heard of “bronies”, and-- if and when this production company finally produces a program on bronies-- it may in fact be many viewers’ very first exposure to the concept of a “brony” at all. Therefore, whoever represents us on such a show will be the ambassador for our entire little subculture.

Needless to say, if bronies make a bad “first impression” on the viewing public, the result could be a PR disaster that could affect all of us.
[...]

This is generally a fun, kind, light-hearted subculture, filled with people who just like to enjoy themselves. We’re a harmless bunch, and we enjoy doing good both amongst ourselves and for the world at large. That should be the message that we want to get across here. Particularly if they are first exposed to our ranks via an intentionally sensationalistic program such as “My Strange Addiction”, the brony-naïve viewer is going to go into this thinking “Men? Men who like My Little Pony? What, are they gay or something?”-- and that’s a best case scenario. Worst-case scenario, they might assume that we are sexually repressed or-- even worse-- pedophiles. We need to anticipate these misconceptions, and pre-emptively counter them.

That's the problem with placing yourself under a label. At any point it could become tainted, and if it were every to become a mainstream label and you didn't know about the popularity, calling yourself that label can have disastrous effects.

>>30565290
Ridiculous shit man.

>>30564367
1. Winter Wrap Up is probably my favourite, what with its melody, its depth, (dealing with both the cleanup and Twilight wanting to find her place) and simply the overall style of the song. (It sounds almost like the songs they play at high school grad, especially in the last few seconds.)

2. Per-episode:

- I expect Lesson Zero to be a mostly-comedic portrayal of Twilight's by-the-book ways, sort of like Look Before You Sleep.

- If it turns out that Luna is still evil and only pretended to change, this will probably be about always keeping someone's past actions in mind in deciding whether or not to trust them. If Luna turns out to really have changed, this will probably be about forgiveness. I expect the latter to be more likely. If that's what they go with, I hope the episode is done as a metaphor for American attitudes towards ex-prisoners; that way, it'd have subtle cultural themes that older viewers would notice, while younger viewers won't need to notice them to understand the episode.

- I would HOPE that the message is something along the lines of "even if you disagree with her decision not to be involved, you should still be willing to respect it" or something like that. Not sure what to EXPECT, though...

whoops.
fucked up on the internet, time to go be less of a person

I'm voting for "I Was a Teenage Goddess" Luna, where she's torn between playing pranks on the ponies because they're so gullible, and caring for them because they're so helpless compared to her and her sister's awesome powers.

>>30565240
Sadly, this. It kinda scares me because this probably means they don't have anything worthwhile in life other than MLP. It's sad and creepy at the same time.

>>30565341
I bet he isn't even a teen.

>>30565352

Last night I dreamt that I was fingering Twilight. I started slow, massaging her teats with one hand, and slowly tracing her slit with the other. I began to gently work my way inside her, hooking my finger to hit her most sensitive spots. She began to squeak and gasp as I slid my way in and out of her sopping wet sex, using the fingers on my other hand to stroke and trace her clit. She held a pillow over her face to muffle her squeaks, trying not to moan in pleasure as I slowly sped up. Her legs started to quiver, I could hear her groaning loudly into the pillow, and her whole body began to quake. She said "Oh Celestia, please go faster, don't stop, oh OH, OHHHH, right there!" The petite unicorn's squeaks grew faster and louder, she started to contract around my fingers like a vice, and finally she let out a long, primal, deep moan, and squirted all over the bedspread. She was dripping sweat, panting for breath, her mane frazzled, completely exhausted and lying still on the bed. Twilight slowly looked up at me with a weak smile on her face, kissed me on the cheek, and whispered into my ear, telling me that was the most intense orgasm she's ever had in her life. Then I woke up.

>>30565328
all seems pretty much spot on to me, i'm in agreement. the latter definitely seems more likely in the luna episode, considering forgiveness hasn't really been much of a theme in the show so far aside from a couple of episodes. i don't know about the metaphor for american attitudes towards ex-prisoners, that's incredibly exclusivist for those not clued-up on the sociopolitical aspects of american penal law and discipline, but i imagine that something more unified and simplistic - for instance, the episode subtly alludes to general rehabilitation after time spent in prison anywhere, rather than any specific example - would be a great way to appeal to the adult audience, though at the same time, i don't know how much i like the idea of studio b going out of their way to do so.

sisterhooves social, i much rather prefer the conclusion that suggests rarity will bend to sweetie's whims rather than the other way around. it'd have personal meaning to me as the soft-touch older sibling. that sounds good to me too, though.

>>30565387

>>30565371
So do I. And this is how it's suppose to be.

>>30565370

>>30565387

Welp. At least I have the proof I wanted that the prereaders are awful people and why the screening process sucks.

It's completely random in what they let through and what they deny.

[spoilers]which is why if their autism would let up for a second they would realize they shouldn't be posting fics in the first place[/spoiler]

I don't think so, Mr. Snippy.

>>30565461
I used to proofread people's stories in college before they turned them in.

God were they horrible. But I would at least point out the plot holes and continuity errors.

So many stories having to do with shitty Naruto or Inuyasha knock-offs. The drawbacks of going to an art school.

I need a pony with the sharingan /co/ so I can troll the ever living fuck out of /a/. Does it exist?

>>30565497
But if he goes into EqD's pre-reader team with the hopes of changing something, it could crush his faith in humanity. It could crush ANYONE'S faith in humanity.

Since the pony fandom started, there are places much worse than 4chan. Much, much worse.

>>30565324
Did Applejack just burst into flames and turn into a dragon?

>>30565497
But EqD can turn him into a retard.

>>30565385
Twilight and her friends don't count; they're the Big Damn Heroes of the show, after all. And even then, NMM spent most of the episode toying with them, and only discovered at the end she was up against something more powerful than she was.

Your average pony is going to look at Luna the same way they look at Celestia--an awesome, almost god-like figure of immense power. The only difference is, Celestia is the responsible, motherly one. I don't see Luna being that mature.

>>30565461
Well, there's still always Nathan.

the problem with it is, the way i see it, that EqD will always control the majority share of the fanbase at this rate. i use DH now and generally stick to FiMFiction if i need to post something, but one guy isn't enough. i was thinking of going over to ponychan and opening a help thread on their /fic/ board, maybe trying to influence more people to use FiMfiction or Ponyfictionarchive instead of EqD, 'cause if we don't do something, the problem will never be dealt with, right? if EqD can get away with things like that, what they did to cosmo - which i'm still angry about, despite having no involvement whatsoever - i feel like it's my civic duty to you guys to do what i can. even if it's only so those of us who do still submit to EqD, of whom i know there are a couple, don't have to deal with this sort of shit again.

You folks have EqD stories in a pastebin? I always avoid the drama but reading up on its history is interesting

>>30565387
EqD has a problem with otherkin? Seriously? (That's a point in their favor, but I'm still surprised given the shit they usually do.)

Also, the prereaders clearly have absolutely no idea about the horrendous faggotry Seth used to get into before he latched onto Trixie.

>>30565293
>>30565293
>>30565293
YES
it is called goddamn ART-SCHOOL

>>30565561
but surely trying to save a broken system isn't a good solution, when we already have better ways? EqD will *never* be good for fanfiction, even if you solve the problems with the vetting, because the blog format doesn't really work.

Dude. Just stick to your own shit. Don't try to change how other people act. Don't try to help people that aren't asking for your help. You will fail. Let the retards be retards. Involving yourself with them will only waste your time and effort.

The number one mistake that everyone makes once in their life is thinking that they can "change" someone by investing their own time, money or effort into them. It's not worth it. Ever.

>>30565561
> i feel like it's my civic duty to you guys to do what i can

I think it would be best just to laugh at the shit on EqD and ignore it. Encourage people to post there fics where ever they want. I mean, seriously, who the fuck needs some publisher's approval to post fanfiction. I've gotten a number of comments "you know, if you censor out that sex scene, you could get accepted at EqD." Why the fuck would I want to be?

Seth started that screening process because one day he posted this weird fucked up fantasy scenario by some homophobe who wanted to shoot lesbian shippers. Now the screeners themselves are as fucked up as the stuff he's supposed to be screening.

>>30565499

>>30565625
And also, yes, this. Don't ever try and help people who honestly see no problem with the status quo. I've tried in a few different situations, with different sets of people. It's stressful, pointless, and if you get invested enough, soul-destroying. Not fun at all.

>>30565633
Why are people so retarded?

>>30565603
It's just this one prereader taking the fact that he used to be one and projecting it onto Cosmonaut, then claiming that was the entire reason the fic was written.

It's a huge amount of patently ridiculous assumption. And it's a damn good fic, too, and considering the ending there's no way it can be considered 'wish fulfillment for somebody who thinks they're a dragon'.

>>30565633
>Current bid: US $1,400.00
Well, I guess we know what Hoppip's day job will be for the foreseeable future.

>>30565387
Longtime furry and transformation fetishist here. I read the story during the kerfuffle last night. That review is actually... way too accurate (except for the judgement calls it makes on the author's intent). The "no girl dragons" part made even my stomach flip-flop with anxiety about where it was all leading (although the earlier foreshadowing with Celestia and goodbyes had made me start to tear up). The head councilor being formerly the pony who wrote the book seemed like WAAAAY too much of a draconis ex machina. I've read thousands of TF stories, and the few that involve reversion to original form usually have it tacked on.

Perhaps there's some basic human instinct that deals with transformation that gets hijacked by xenosentients? Perhaps the instinct on how to handle puberty?

In retrospect, the part of the story that makes the least sense is it doesn't even try to describe Twilight's diminished sense of the world, and how lacking her horn magic made her feel like less than she had been. She goes to open a door with her horn or her lips, but then realizes she has to use her hands, maybe? This body comes with all of its instincts except walking, it seems.

I disagree with the reviewer's statement about how gems make Twilight grow big but not Spike; it was clear to me it was the residual effects of the spell interacting with the gemstones, feeding her growth.

>>30565643
>Actual stories. Things to turn in for a grade.
Is... is that how art school works?

>>30565597
i don't really think so. if you want you can check the archive, but otherwise the things i take issue with most are the pre-readers who seem totally inapt at what they do when they do things like this.

>>30565608
>>30565625
but isn't not trying to fix it worse? i guess there's no point to it, but still, i'd feel bad if i sat and let all these people suffer in silence. especially when i've read some great things that only have 3.5 or so stars there, and other things that don't compare in quality have the full 5.

it's the same way i imagine you guys feel about ponychan, right? like there's got to be something you can do to help people understand that what they're doing isn't right, that it serves nobody in the long run.

>>30565614
i just finished a cripps pink and am about to have a granny smith, can i be in the cool club?

>>30565643
I did it in an attempt to fix their broken narratives. And no, I didn't get paid. I was doing it so that they could better themselves so they wouldn't need much fixing.

Hell, most shit I do is voluntary.

Proofreading, caricatures, drawing requests, most of this shit is all for free.

>>30565678
Fluffy is pretty good, and he's done a little porn, but he doesn't like doing porn, so he stopped. I find that sad.

>>30565688
I know that feel bro. Just press K.

>>30565422
For clarification, I don`t mean for it to directly reference American prisons, but simply to have a general theme of rehabilitation that draws heavily from the real-life stories of ex-prisoners being treated unforgivingly by the public. I want to see the same issues explored, with regards to social exclusion of Luna, etc...

So are ponies finally admitting they're furries?

>>30565689
Yeah really

I don't want to be a fucking dragon

>it's the same way i imagine you guys feel about ponychan, right? like there's got to be something you can do to help people understand that what they're doing isn't right, that it serves nobody in the long run.

No. I feel like I want nothing to do with them. I feel like I want to leave them alone, and have them leave me alone. You can't help everybody, Terse.

This is what we've dealt with since day one in this fandom.

>>30565715
Ponies have always been furry. Though I'd say it's more of a coarse hair rather than fur.

>>30565719
oh no, I didn't see the earlier post! damn it!

>>30565697
The thing is, they don't think it's suffering. If people don't see anything wrong with how it is, they'll oppose any change you try and make. And trying to push through that isn't fun.

>>30565719
Well, it's incredibly well-made, looks amazing, looks like it's made of good materials, hand-made, and one of a kind.

>>30565712
i see what you're getting at. it makes sense, considering luna would be recovering from exactly the same thing. my only compunction is the fact that it's very adult and would require a lot of introspection on the part of the viewers - parents might not like their more inquisitive children digging deep into such a controversial and significant sociopolitical topic, and they themselves may be concerned with the fact that it is present in a children's show. hell, it might be too evocative for those rehabilitated prior, apparently a lot of people have the strangest triggers. nonetheless if they could believably weave such a profound and complex thread into the tapestry of the narrative, in such a way that it has value as a judgment and explores the issue in a relevant way without being heavy-handed, i'd have so much respect for studio b, even more than i have currently.

but, then, hasbro. sigh.

>>30565716
Worse, he claims he was once an Otherkin dragon. As in, he KNEW he was really a dragon, other people just couldn't see it and he took every opportunity to try to convince them.

All of this is in the pastebinned statement, and really gives some perspective on just how badly he was projecting when he rejected your story. That's patently bias; he should have excused himself from the table as soon as he realized he would be biased about it.

apples are great, in both contexts.

>>30565766
>>30565770
yeah, it feels like a fool's endeavour the more i think about it, but i proofread stuff for people all the time, anyway...i think i'll try something. not on ponychan or eqd, but if and when i go to fimchan i'll see about helping others with their work, or even just doing simple editing for them. it seems like a worthwhile cause, and it'll pass the time while i wait for my real life to actually get in gear.

>>30565822
You don't owe anybody anything, terse. The contribution you make to these threads by just being a nice, intelligent person is more than enough.

>>30565889

>>30565387
I think the worst part of this is, he sees the merits in the writing itself.
>3.75 on solid writing
That alone should put it in priority over the other unorganized, mass-produced and sloppy schlock that's passed on EqD (see a certain SIX STARS "epic" that would be beating a dead horse if I named it).
But he completely denies it because of his own biases toward so-called "wish-fulfillment." Nothing can have any sort of tangential association with anything that could be considered fetishistic to some crowds, even though the site has passed on body-swap or species-swap stories, stories in which characters have a crush on alternate dimension, opposite gender versions of themselves, Spike turning into a pony, etc.

YOU ARE ALL REALIZING NOW THAT THE PONY FANDOM IS A PROTO STATE OF THE FURRY FANDOM.

The furry fandom began long ago with people obsessing all the same over warner brothers and disney cartoons, much like the pony fandom. Naturally for others it went further and fan art and smut proliferated. Drama whores and people of varrying views stratified the fandom creating different groups and levels of involvement. The Pony fandom is now reaching the point where it is becoming self aware of this fact.

Many of you are still coming to terms with this, still seeing "Furry" as a single static state of being, not realizing its a long scale of grays from black to white. Thinking furry is but a singular fetish or perversion you reject it, blind to it the true expansiveness of the fandom which you now mirror.

>>30565929
No, regular furries just enjoy the art. It's very, very rare for them to take it beyond a fetish, but as with the particularly bad bronies, the particularly bad furries (otherkin and therians) are the ones people latch onto and assume everybody in the sub-culture must be exactly like that and therefore terrible.

>>30565925
That ship sailed a while ago...

The difference is that we got the people who were ALREADY furries, and all the connections and pre-conceived notions that came with them.

You try to convince yourselves you're different, but you still talk about fanfics and ship all the same.

>>30565951

I need some advice on the direction I should take with my tumblr. Kind of at a standstill now.

>implying I talk about >fanfiction

>>30565990
i used to be a furry i guess. i looked at the art and fapped to the porn until i actually studied art and realized most of it is shit.

>>30565951
Fuck, now I wish I'd requested something...

>>30566043
I dont, i just take it as something that comes with the territory. Just like i dont want gore, but i know its part of being on /b/, it happens.

If NiggerFaggot got into animating it would be deadly

>>30565559
Bam! Look at that bacon sizzle!

>>30566065

I think you still can

>>30565822
>it's not a nice feeling, though, feeling helpless. i just wish i could offer more to this fandom than what i do.

1. Suffering exists
2. Suffering exists from shit you don't like
3. Suffering ceases when you ignore shit you don't like
4. Freedom from suffering is possible by saying fuck that noise, and just liking the shit you do like

>>30566077
Big Macs don't have bacon in them!

>>30566065
We have enough FlutterMac already, thanks.

>>30566077
Stop being awesome, Tess. You're making everyone else jelly.

I want a request toooo!

>>30565719

>fluttershy plush going for $1400

>first bid was 10 fucking dollars

GOD DAMN. brb, learning how to make plushies

>>30566065

>>30565951
Tess do you have time for drawing today? I still want to see a picture of Colgate involving this

>>30566077
>Bacon
>On a Big Mac

Looks great.

I never have anything interesting to request, and when I once did, I think I drove Tex insane with Fluttershy in samurai armor.

>>30566086
Being meguka is suffering

>>30566053
looked boring and i instantly close. draw more creepy grifffy pictures

>>30566043
But the people on /co/ generally prefer to keep it to the Internet and don't let the fact that they enjoy something become a label that attaches to them in reality.

>>30566091
Actually, I was thinking Caramel painting something.

>>30565885
please the answer is actual increadibly mudane

they are distant-great-great-great-several-times removed-from-my-mothers-gardener relatives

>>30566115

I think he's implying that there are furries like that too.

>>30566105
pony a shit

>>30566114
I guess if it was a pop-up book it'd be at the correct reading level for you.

So this whole discussion about otherkin came up, and we didn't get into otakukin yet? People who believe they're real life incarnations of anime and game characters?

The real question is, why don't we have people who think they're real life incarnations of ponies?

>>30566134

>>30566053
Well, assuming that's a zebra in a brown cloak instead of a horse, you have to decide how closely she's been watching him. Does she know he's been stealing from ponies? Can ponies speak English? And will she run away when he approaches, or approach him? Or simply stay away, watching, and disappearing whenever he tries to get close?

>>30566169

They're coming.

>>30566169
I was a pony once and it was awful

does anyone have that leaked storyboard picture from the halloween episode?

>>30566169

>>30566077
>Bic mac
>With bacon

>>30566201

Hopefully this will help more than 'oh lol i only like pictures'.

>>30566169
They're called Therians. Look it up; basically Otherkin but with real animals instead of mythological ones.

>>30566105

>>30566169
Whoa, hold yer horses, Sugarcube.

>>30566215

>>30566224
I think he meant ponies of the my little variety

this whole discussion kinda makes me want to just stop enjoying anything

>>30566250
>>30566224
Yeah, pretty much.

I want to meet the real life Twilight Sparkle
Who will assuredly be a thirty year old neckbeard.
