A pony with a Hoof-Axe.

A Hoof-Axe has a leather binding wound with a cord that tightens around a pony's foreleg. Attached to the other side is an axe blade, with dense steel and is sharpened at the end, designed to cut down on enemies.

what

So, I was informed that Friend-Off prticipants would be getting partners today.
Anyone know when exactly that's happening?

so what else could i try today?

What the fuck did you just fucking say about my cooking, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Culinary Institute of America, and I've been involved in numerous iron chef challenges, and I have over 300 confirmed recipes for Créme fraiche. I am trained in Habachi and I'm the top cook at my local Japanese Steak House. You are nothing to me but just another ingredient. I will feed you with culinary skills the likes of which have never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with serving that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, busboy. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of celebrity chefs across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the feast, stomach. The feast that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your cooking. You're fucking dead, sous chef. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can cook for you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed grilling but I have access to the entire arsenal of appetizers at Fridays and I will use them to their full extent to wipe your hunger off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy concoction your little "clever" recipe was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have waited for desert. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will cook a ferociously delicious Béchamel sauce for you and you will drown in it. You're going to be fucking stuffed, kiddo

>>1891762
Cons can be hilarious fun, especially when you're not a spaghettilord and just like comics/cartoons/anime/manga/sci-fi

Why Sentenal?

Also, I feel bad for all the other writers in here that no one seems to give a shit about, like Slywit, Squeak, darf, BillyColt, BDN and them. It must be heartbreaking to only ever hear these two names.

But then after a certain point you just stop caring. So whatever.

>>1891958
Plenty of people care about those writers. And if someone's kind of fallen off the radar it's usually because they haven't written anything recently.

>>1891948
THAT'S

FUCKING

To open the portal to the magical land of Equestria, you must first shed your mortal shell.

Consult the internet on how best to proceed.

Once you've reached your next stage of enlightenment, Equestria will be laid bare before you, all the ponies you know and love frolicking beneath, just as eager to get to know you as well.

Okay, streaming art.

All absolutely fair points. It just seems like the sort of thing that drives people mad, if the artists are anything to go by. Are the writers quite as...neurotic, for lack of a better way to put it? I love our artists, but man...

It'd be nice to contribute, but I really have no idea what to draw for. And it's too late to be forced into pairing now.

>>1892042

>>1892044

>>1892042
Well, I draw, but no one's ever asked for me.

It doesn't bother me at all, because I know I'm not all that good.

No idea, but he should come back. He is good at the arts.

>>1892056
>Famous enough
He wrote 4 stories, one being the best fic I've personally read, but beyond that, I've heard nothing else from him or anything else he's done. Not even that book he said he's trying to get published.

>>1892099
yeah okay moot

>>1892102
Nobody will never die like Moe.

That plane...

>>1892042
Artists get more flak because more people will look at the art, compared to those who will take the time to read fanfiction.

Anyone will take a moment to full-view a picture, but few will waste time on >fanfiction.

>>1892042
Part of it is that it's almost impossible that those names won't be the first ones to come to mind. They're the ones who always post here. People talk about them more often. They're reposted more often. They're more recognizable. And so on.
People just hear about them more so they're the ones we all know about. And we can only remember so many names. So the unfortunate fact is that a lot of people will get left out, but it really isn't anyone's fault.
Just appreciate the artists and writers when they come and avoid artist/writer worship.

>>1892116

I think the worst part is when fanfiction is considered "real fiction". I get mad at the thought of Wide Sargasso Sea, every fuckin' time.

>>1892159
how about you stop avatarfagging, faget?

>>1892173
I keep thinking that at some point that I will acquire a girlfriend.
I'm just lying to myself, aren't I?

You need to get on my level, bro

>>1892173
I don't have a waifu either. I thought I was the only one.

>>1892150
seems like we have a buttdevasted fanfiction writer here

>>1892210
what's the difference between waifu and favorite pony anyway?

>>1892191
I think the worst part is when people judge things based on preconceived notions instead of letting the medium of written language and the material of the writer speak for itself.

>>1892199
Well you have to go outside to meet girls, but that's not MLPG's business.

>>1892192
Who's avatarfagging? This is Applejack, not Korra.

>>1892173

>that feel

I just can't feel connected to anyone, fictional or not.

>>1892226
i giggled

>>1892213
sounds like the assumption of an uneducated buffoon.

>>1892224
A waifu is being in an actual romantic relationship with a fictional character.

A favorite pony is like Applejack.

>>1892224
Oh, you poor boy...

>>1892224
Favourite pony is what normal people have

Waifu is what people who defend their favourite pony's "honour" have - they're faggots.

>>1892225
You'd have a fair point, except this is fanfiction we're talking about. The preconceived notion of it being mostly shit is based on the the fact it *is* mostly shit.

Yeah, maybe some people take the time to write a good story. But the majority of it is still terrible, just like if you do a deviantart search on (popular cartoon X) you'll get mostly shit art.

>>1892276

Dude, have you read amateur fiction? it's shit regardless of whether it's 'fanfiction'. People just have preconceived distaste for the latter because when they're part of a fan community, it's lauded around more prevalently. It's shit the same way that a large amount of amateur creative production is shit, or at least in that its unpracticed artists trying their hand at a craft they have yet to refine.

>>1892292

>>1892225
I think the worst part is when people fail to understand that the "material of the writer" is an inherently flawed and pretentious concept when dealing with fanfiction and even the best of the best fanfiction is a misappropriation of another's hard work.

I write fanfiction, man. I am aware of both sides of the debate. The quality of the writing does not change the fact that it's still fanfiction, and I've never accepted the idea that skilfully approaching one's craft should outweigh the theft of another person's intellectual property.

>>1892303
post your stuff

>>1892298
90% of everything is shit, period.

>>1892303
Man, that is so frustrating. And then people are complaining that we don't have more good new artists around here.

>>1892298
Same thing goes for amateur art.

If artists were any good, they'd be working for somebody like Disney or Dreamworks.

>>1892297

Because >it's shit.

Maybe if you bothered to learn to draw better, people would reply.

>but I'd rather make self-pitying posts on MLPG!

>>1892324
Eh...he's not THAT bad, though he could improve but I know he won't do it

>>1892319
Are you saying artists like Rose or SB are not good because they are not working for companies?

>>1892313
That's why the Avengers sucked so hard. I was watching it and all like "they stole this shit from Marvel."

>>1892313
I think the worst part is when people fail to understand that the "material of the artist" is an inherently flawed and pretentious concept when dealing with fanart and even the best of the best fanart is a misappropriation of another's hard work.

>>1892332
Please don't feed the artists unwarranted attention. Just ignore their pity posts.

>>1892337
Clearly.

At lets not forget that they're not creative. They're ripping off somebody else's work.

>>1892350
That's not what he was saying.

>>1892344
>the Avengers sucked so hard.
>they stole this shit from Marvel
you best be trollin boy

>>1892345
Hah, yeah, I feel the same way about fanart too, good to know I'm not alone.

>>1892344
>A licensed adaptation
>theft
There is a difference when the original artist and/or the license holder consents to the active use of their content. Don't try and turn me into a strawman.

>>1892354
So, every artists, and every writer that has ever posted in these Generals is not good at all.

Then why are you posting in here if no one is good?

>>1892313
I don't think a single thing you just said has any merit to it. How is using source material 'creative theft'? Ninety-nine percent of creative work is derivative in some way from the source material ingrained in human consciousness. Not to mention the fact that some of the most popular works in available media are directly related to notable earlier fiction and creative endeavours.

This is especially a point absent of content when you think about the fact that the show is so undeveloped past the situations it presents that it's essentially just a prompt for expansion. The only difference between fanfiction and original fiction in cases where it's character or situation based is that the audience is familiar with the former, and establishment of personality is avoided in what would be a normal short story anyway. Besides which, if you're writing a short piece of fiction, you probably have to leave out the majority of the character content anyway.

It's hard to explain all the reasons why you're wrong, but they're immediately evident after a moment of rational thought.

I KNOW! they stole everything right down to the opening Logo. They even had the audacity to call them selves Marvel Studios.

The fact remains that it's a fanmovie, not a real movie, and they took their idea from the comic books.

If artists were any good they'd be exhibiting in Tate Modern or MOMA.

>>1892337
I dunno man.
Some of the concept art I've seen from those companies were really fucking beautiful.

The only thing that can ever validate an artist as an artist is if he or she creates a completely original idea every time he or she creates a work. Any less and it's simple theft.

>>1892345
I believe that a skillful, visually attractive piece with no substance trumps that of an ugly, poorly made piece of art with a supposed "deep" meaning.

If it's bad (drawn by Timmy aged 5 bad), people will either be mean-spirited and mock you, or good-natured and try to help.

If it's obviously good, people will line up to suck your cock or bemoan all the attention you're getting.

If you're stuck somewhere in the middle, you're just nobody.

Please, try to avoid resorting to ad hominem. It undermines your already-precarious argument.

There's an extremely quick Rousseau rebuttal to your entire ignorant statement:
1) Using someone else's source material without explicit permission is malum prohibitum and violates intellectual property law.
2) Generalised statements such as "derivative in some way from the source material ingrained in human consciousness" are vague, abstract, and foolish Aristotelian sentiments that carry no real value. Again, as a citation, I refer to Wide Sargasso Sea - it is a popular work in available media and it is still an inherently flawed concept.
3) Your argument on the "nature" of fanfiction is circumlocutious. Simply because short fiction has its own drawbacks does not necessitate relying on property theft.

Try to play by your own rules of "rational thought", please?

Except according to your post it really doesn't. It's still using intellectual property that does not rightfully belong to the one creating the work.

Still keeping it real I see

>>1892468
>big mac shoving his cock down your throat and pumping your belly full of semen

>>1892427
Except that those people work entirely different. Movies of books or other adaptions of other works will always try to find a way to introduce the concept, characters etc. behind the material of the adaption. Fanfic writers don't do that, they assume that you are immediately familiar with the whole concept. They are working on a completely different level that has no merit on it's own but borrows completely from a source without trying to stand on it's own.

This argument is stupid.

I'd rather talk about Princess Celestia.

Incorrect. I'm sent, and even though I don't write stories or draw art, I appreciate everyone that has every posted art or stories here or anywhere. Just because you're not being paid money for art by some company or you can't make 100% original concepts from scratch doesn't mean you're bad or not good. To assert otherwise would be to undermine every humans achievements past the first creators, and an insult to everyone that has done anything.

That's disgusting.

>>1892501
>it's better because they hold the hands of newfags

Now you're just getting desperate

>>1892417
No, a piece can have "artistic merit" whether or not it holds the copyright. Whether it is morally right to produce it and whether it holds actual merit is dependent on whether it is done with the creator's permission.

You can reduce any statement to its basest elements to make it seem illogical, but the fact of the matter is that taking someone else's content constitutes a violation of their rights as its creator. Simply because your work has artistic merit doesn't make it right to create, nor does it make it valid.

>>1892489
>according to my post
No, according to my post it does. I've explicitly stated that with the consent of the original creator of the content it is more acceptable.

Well in that case I am insulting every creator, who cares? "Disgusting" isn't even a real argument, just som vague judgement of your own.

>>1892433
Basically this
>>1892474

Origins of aritstic creations were about recreating already existing things on different medium. For example cave drawings which were simplifications of human and animal forms. I think it would be a little stretch to say but everything you ever can create would be just recreation of thing already exisitng even if it's some abstract thought of yours it's still recreation of what you thought about...

Other things would be merging ideas and involving style and technique etc. etc.

...I like that topic.

>>1892501
That's because they're working as large assembled works of creative fiction that have the time and budget to do those things. When I started writing fanfiction I got yelled at for reaiterating concepts everyone was familiar with - that may or may not be a problem, but the reasoning for it is evident, because the audience that material is designed for is already familiar with all the characters, settings, etc.

Also, I think if you went to see Wicked or read Grendel without being familiar with the source material, you'd be confused as fuck.

>>1892577

>mfw using reaction images is considered avatarfagging these days

>>1892562
Hey, yeah, I think so too. I love Batman & Robin.

Artistic acceptability is a totally different concept from moral acceptability. I don't mean to demean fanfiction writers and fanartists as artists, because some of them are fantastic. But certainly the logic that it is somehow "morally acceptable" to misappropriate another person's content is inaccurate. Look at the hullabaloo with Ursula K. Le Guin's work or Anne Rice.

You're misunderstanding me if you think I think fanfiction and fanart are bad because they're low quality. They're not.

>>1892549
Are you a newfag or are you just going through episodes for the hell of it?

Either way, watch Hurricane.

It should be a place where we don't have to listen to people like you telling us what we're not allowed to talk about.

We talk about the show when we damn well feel like it.

>>1892579
Well in that cases those works aren't good. Simple as that. Just because they are professional works doesn't excuse them from going that route.

>>1892605
Nothing wrong with being critical even about stuff you get for free.

Actual contributes for being insulted in such an ignorant manner and rational readers disgusted by your posts. You have the right to voice your opinion, but it should be have rational and logical thought behind it. By saying "Every person that has ever created things that can be traced back to past work is inherently bad or not good because of said sampling" to asinine. There is no logic or reason behind it, other than ignorance and spite.

>>1892655

the next step we could take is to shut down 4chan so people use it for more than just dumping images

then we can shut down the internet because people use it for more than dumping images

then we can shut down the government because people use it for more than dumping images

then life will be perfect

>>1892460
It's not resorting to an ad hominem, it's an appeal to common sense to counter a point in a debate that shouldn't exist in the first place. It's like trying to explain to people why 'gay rights' is a subject that shouldn't exist, because rights and equality are exactly that, and they shouldn't warrant any unnecessary discusion.

An appeal to the literal restraints of what constitute 'intellectual property' imply a directly derivative work, and there's still no separation between the readily available archetypes of fictional constraints and personality that's ingrained in public consciousness.

Your citation is also a lacklustre example in benefit of your argument because you're founding the basis of its judgement entirely on your personal opinion. While whether or not we like something is a subjective constraint, the matter of its 'worth' is something that's more empirically judgeable. And I think dismissing the notion of a collective unconsciousness and its effect on human creative efforts is deliberate ignorance - whether or not you want to accept that your assemblage of influences and creative energy is a biproduct of life up to this point doesn't change the fact that all things are at their root, derivative of another creative work.

And, to the third point, 'relying' on property theft has nothing to do with it. Whether or not the source material is original has nothing to do with the quality of the story and its presentation, which is why this entire argument seems futile to me if that point isn't immediately evident.

Think it's time to calm the fuck down

>>1892665
How is there no logic behind it? You just stated it! A work should stand on it's own, or else it can't be really called a creative work. Don't see where the problem is behind that.

>>1892621
Yeah with this path of thinking nothing is original and everything that ever was created is stealing.

For example Da Vinci stole from those cavemans because they were the first that ever drew a human. Everything else later is just copying the same idea isn't it? Kind of yes. Topic is the same but performance is totally different. That creates originality. Merging many topics together as well as way of performing it including your own worked out style.
