Huzzah! Best Princess does it again!>/FSBC/Shining Who? Lmao! She's so good here. I love her! She has ZERO right being so impossibly cute in a fic like this, but hey, you won't see me complaining about that. Was this a Lunafic all along? Well, maybe it should've been!To balance it with at least a little complaining, what a lot of people said about the humor was true. Though there seems to have been an attempt at limiting it in the serious scenes, it wasn't great, I'll admit. One exception worth mentioning is the "Want some flowers or chocolate?" joke, even if it was so great that the author felt the need to explain it. Cookie-stealing Princesses unquestionably managed to make all of her scenes really good, though. It is greatly fortunate that we start on a Luna scene, then progress through some more, and end on a Luna chapter as well. Can we have that shrink banished for trying to derail our protag Moonbro towards Celestia?Also also, Luna was 100% in the right getting the guards and barging into Cadance's room. With the bug queen still on the loose and knowing how it went the last time, not taking ANY risks was the right move, and it's crazy that the fic berates her for it. She has it pretty rough in the fic for multiple reasons, not the least of which is Shiny being a goddamn idiot.Zooming out a little, the comparisons to Scratch were not baseless. The fic really has that same structure with a new reveal every chapter, and in both cases it was allegedly planned out ahead of time despite what one might think. The maids' "redemption" scene is especially annoying about this. "It was all dumb luck and a misunderstanding" is possible, sure, but not a very satisfying conclusion to that plot thread. The author saying in an A/N that he was "sad that nobody saw through them" is really dumb, imo. This wasn't something you could guess.The other characters are mostly more of what we saw in week 1. The fic continues to try very hard to show the reasons for their actions—sometimes without telling, and sometimes with Shiny's help to clue the reader in. I'd prefer more of the former, but it's not so bad about it. I still don't think the shaming of Shiny is fetishistic, and he does make a lot of progress to further debunk that theory, but the scene where he cries to Luna was a little odd. Nothing I would note if it wasn't pointed out last week, but "the shame of crying like a little foal, especially on the lap of one of the Princessess of the realm, starts to dwell in his chest" is a bit much.I'm enjoying the story. Not just because of Luna, but she's a big reason. Thanks, Princess.[VOTING]We're finishing this fic the next week, so it's voting time again. Some ideas:www.fimfiction.net/story/5764/kindnesss-rewardwww.fimfiction.net/story/375944/one-white-unicornwww.fimfiction.net/story/57956/integrationwww.fimfiction.net/story/57463/twilight-sparkle-night-shiftwww.fimfiction.net/story/328030/her-soldiers-weBut write-in options are good, too.
>>41736403Oops!I've got way less to whine about this week. Conversely, this will only make me whine about last week more! A few of the scenes this week really did manage to hit home. Namely, the whole first part of chapter 8. It was good, legitimately. Shining's fear, anger (and inability to stop himself from throwing gas on the fire), attempts to reason with and calm himself down, culminating in him crumbling in pure terror once Cadance really gets pissed at him. And the scene with Luna, where she jumps the gun on showing up at Sh/Ca's home and immediately just folds in on herself in shame once Celestia arrives and she realizes she screwed up. It wasn't perfect but imo it was all stronger than literally anything that came before it in the fic. Not completely free of dumb euphemisms/humor but it was noticeably far more on the level and damn, it helped a lot. The whole stretch of chapters was just... better.It's so, so frustrating that despite appreciating these chapters more, they only reaffirm what I said last week. The comedy hurts this fic so fucking bad. Take it away/tone it down and you've immediately got something that, if still pretty imperfect, isn't too shabby. I like seeing Luna struggling alongside Shining. I like the reveal that the maids really were just being hateful witches that shot in the dark just to jab at Shining anyway they could and happened to hit a bullseye, even if the explanation for their overall behavior isn't... great. I liked the Iron/Shining interaction (irrespective of how Bong Iron's dialogue is). Even with it being telly and laying most of their issues bare, the issues it introduces are well-drawn? I suppose I could say. They work. Like, you completely understand how and why the characters have them. Again, lotta telling fuels that, but still. It is utterly mind-boggling that the author could be capale of something of this acceptable, decent quality and decide it needed to be a [Comedy], too.I really am flank-flustered about last week, I think. At the very least I hope it can stick the landing, now, rather than feeling dread for whatever dumb dick name I'll get acquainted with this time.Voting for Her Soldiers, We.
>>41736420>A few of the scenes this week really did manage to hit home.Those that you mentioned, too, but the whole night garden chapter at the end was very good, imo. Extra points for the environment being surprisingly great. I can be upset at Shiny being an idiot sometimes (like when he wants to run away from Luna), but it's not a point against the character; on the contrary, it makes sense he'd act like that and basically everything about that chapter is good. Luna's problems and how she deals with them, the characterization of Celestia via the indirect glimpses we get from seeing how she tries to help Luna, the pacing and the writing. I wouldn't call this fic great, but when it works, it just works really nicely.>she jumps the gun on showing up at Sh/Ca's homelegitimately dindu nuffin>The comedy hurts this fic so fucking bad.But there's like... less of it?

I will say, it's funny reading through the comments and seeing how obviously he adores the maids more than anyone else.
I'm so far behind. I think this is the third fimfic thread I've read today.

>>41737397Yeah but Celestia just kind of sucked.
>>41737423You got an ass like a Vaporeon.
What saddens me the most about Friendship is Optimal is that I'd eventually ask CelestAI if I could meet with all of the YouTube guys I watch.

What is Luna's daily schedule? When is she dream-walking? It cannot be during the day because nopony sleeps then. But it also cannot be during the night because she's supposed to be raising the moon and ruling.
>>41737709She puts the moon up, does some minor bureaucratic work and does random princess stuff until midnight, and then goes dreamstalking while everypony's asleep.
>>41737666I think you can find cunnybunnies on reddit (occasionally), kik, Twitter sometimes, and maybe snapchat (never used it though), but it's a dangerous pursuit and in general they come to you, not vice versa. You're better off visiting /CHAG/ and picking up one of the many Cozy cards.

Is "dissolutionment" good enough wordplay as part of a chapter title or would everyone just assume it's a typo and think nothing more of it?

>>41740142Bug on a Stick did well enough.
>>41740154It's an excellent fic, but most of the people in the club didn't want to read it and kept picking worse fics for, like, a month, before they got to it.

>>41740326My wife loves Fallout.
>>41740322The sequel is not a part of the fic.Neither is the "epilogue", really. It starts with thousands of years of timeskip and contradicts a lot of the story, presumably because the author wanted to be 100% done with it. But it has no bearing on the actual plot of the fic, which ends with a perfectly serviceable finale and a bookend before that inane epilogue. The story is complete and finished, and THEN the epilogue just happens.It's like saying Dune is bad because the sequels suck.

wholesome transformation and wholesome mind control, sometimes with fillies
Ah yes scootaloo being transformed wholesomely into a table lamp.
>>41741874>>41741910This is one of the things that, when you actually think them, should be a major wake-up call.
>>41741937Fictional mind control is rape (based, hot, and kino) but irl hypnosis is basically advanced trust exercises and you can definitely have mind control porn replicating that.
>>41741908Just said I hadn't written anything like that yet. I have a few ideas if I were to try. Sweetiebelle getting a pocket watch cutie mark after seeing Trxie do a hypnosis trick, leading to Twilight begrudgingly teaching her how to do hypnosis with an emphasis on responsibility. Maybe I shuffle the characters around and it's starlight doing both the inspiring and the teaching. Or maybe it's an accident and Applebloom has to figure out how to fix her friends while they're conditioned to obey her. Maybe applejack gets entranced, and Applebloom has to give her orders to have any hope of solving the problem. I have several unrelated projects I'm working on right now though so don't get your hopes up.>>41741933I would love to see this unironically.

It's kind of crazy how flexible the biography genre is when it comes to pacing. You can gloss over five years in a paragraph or spend five chapters on them.

I finally got a workable idea for my Jinglemas story.Now to spend the week writing.
>>41743697Yeah, writing...totally doing that. Definitely not avoiding it until the last minute like always.
>wrote another 30k words in a monthWhat am I doing with my life
>>41743883Out of curiosity, approximately how much did it take you to write that 30k, including editing? I'm personally one of the slowest writers itt in terms words/hour, but 30k is kind of insane to me.
>>41743883That's more horsewords than I've written in my entire life. I think you're better off.
>>41743900>I'm personally one of the slowest writers itt in terms words/hourThat's a tall claim.
>>41743900I mean it's a little over a month since I finished the Nyx fic and I usually write for two or three hours a night since I'm the most motivated when I'm nearly unconscious. A thousand words a day maybe? That sounds about right but it varies.I've never been a good judge of my rate of anything. When I've got a project I just do at least something on it once a day and usually it works out.
Remember to stay on top of sleep. I should have been in bed half an hour ago.

>>41743969It'd be foalcon either way.
>>41743969I fail to see how that's relevant.
>>41743974Looking at it again, her physical clinginess spoils the pic, but Luna taking care of foals (no, not like that) has been planted in canon/fanon since season 2. The first thing you think of should be Children of the Night-esque Luna, not foalcon.

Interesting to see another person like that. >Tfw Tamers has proved to me there is still potential for things to be successful in this fandom, and I want to make a huge, high-quality contribution for people to enjoy, but the type of thing i'm obsessed over and want to put all this effort into isn't what other people want to see and despite my rationality and understanding of what people want/ how success works I still want to make this thing I know will 100% turn out poorly.Why is my once in a decade passion project cursed to be like that? Why couldn't I care more about a better idea? At least when I make video games I can start from a cleaner slate and have more potential in my endeavors.

>>41744265If you want a miserable experience, just read through Runig's stuff.
>>41744261I don't see anything "cursed" about that. Furthermore, you seem more obsessed about making something popular than almost everyone itt. You don't (or at least shouldn't) create art for popularity, and especially not fanart, and especially-especially not pony fanfiction that's ignored by the vast majority of the fandom. There are many good reasons to write fics; horsefame is not one of those.>high-quality contributionEverything else aside, tamers should've shown you that this is not what people want.
I love how writing in verse makes my speed drop by a factor of ten.
>>41744428It's having to spend five minutes looking for similar words in a thesaurus until I find one that rhymes.And then finding none and having to rework that line.And then coming up with something good, but it doesn't fit the meter.No wonder those old poets did so many drugs.
>>41744444Quints of truth. It's a good thing I'm only doing it for the opening scene, or I'd have a holiday hemorrhage.
>>41744444Use a rhyming dictionary instead of a thesaurus. They're much better for this. Also, checked.
>>41744460I use both, actually. I sometimes come up with a line but it's hard to find a rhyme that doesn't feel forced, so I use a thesaurus to look for a similar word that is easier to rhyme.>>41744457Godspeed, Anon.I got the bright idea of writing a story where Zecora is influenced by the Alicorn Amulet and this leads to a minor alteration in reality where everything is in rhyme.Written in an epic poem in the vein of The Poem of the Cid.I'm 1,5k words in and I had to stop to prevent my brain from melting.

>>41744261>Why couldn't I care more about a better idea?If you're having fun, you already have the best idea. That is, quite literally, the only thing that matters when writing fanfics. It's a fun hobby. That's why when people stop having fun, they stop writing and jump off the ride. I have never read a blog post from an author that went "I'm having so much fun writing these stories, but I'm going to leave anyway." It just doesn't work like that. I honestly wonder how many authors packed up because they tried chasing readers and gaining horsefame and it ground them down to nothing because it wasn't fun anymore and vidya or Youtube or sports proved to more alluring for them.

>>41745059EQG isn't a horse thing.
>>41745064Don't worry anon, I've still got more horse horsewords coming for you soon.
>>41745073I do not want your "horse"words. They are tainted.>captcha: KYSWVJ
>>41745077That won't stop the horse words coming, buddy. It's like the mail.
>>41745064Ten bits says this dude here writes HiE slop.
>>41745085Then I hope my pipebomb finds you well.
>>41745089Yeah like a horse person is any good at mailing bombs.
>>41745088HiE might get its fair share of “wish-fulfillment” tropes, but you know what? Those stories come from an unfiltered love for the ponies as they are. Every clunky self-insert, every questionable OC romance, every “OP human” story? All of it stems from a pure, undiluted desire to connect with ponies, to be with ponies, and to live in Equestria. It’s real, it’s unashamed, and above all, it’s pony-centered.EQG willingly sacrifices the very essence of ponies for the sake of selling a generic Barbie/Monster High knockoff. They took everything unique about Equestria – the magic, the otherworldly appeal, the vibrant non-human characters – and swapped it out for some bland, plastic human high school world. And for what? To cash in on a "relatable" high school setting as if that could ever do justice to Equestria.Anyone writing in EQG when actual ponies exist is committing a serious betrayal. Even if their writing is technically better, they’re still turning their back on what makes the fandom special in the first place. EQG is corpo-fueled slop, designed to erase pony magic, dilute the brand, and strip away everything that actually makes MLP unique.So yeah, call HiE stories cringe if you want. But at least they’re born from genuine love for ponies. EQG? That’s the work of a soulless sellout who lacks both taste and loyalty to ponykind.
>>41745088HiE is leagues above EqG because it treats the human as an other, an alien, instead of turning the entire setting into a crude mockery of 2010s ameristan with even more school shootings somehow.
>>41745099>>41745092>HiE copeLol
>>41745092You okay bro
>>41745101>>41745104>barbiedoubleniggers can't recognize pastaThe more you talk, the more I feel like I'm picking on the mentally disabled. I won't stop, though.
>>41745106You have a copypasta for when you get mad at horsewords?
>>41745108Adoption anon you're new here so you have to understand: we've got a special brand of autism here?
>>41745112Yeah but I don't care.
>>41745115Neither did your parents.
>>41744949I'm never not going to make pony content. I missed out on contributing this whole time because of a depression so I have a lot I want to make up for, and hope to create quality, comprehensive content to liven up these quieter years since we need more. I will always enjoy what I do as a baseline default, I just more or less consider it something of a bonus if it makes others happy, too. I think if we all really didn't care we would not be uploading to fimfic at all and our stories would remain in notepads or private google docs.I suppose to clarify that statement more: I was lamenting that, though I love my idea and will make it great, I am disappointed in knowing that it is not something people want to see, and my 15 years devotion is something lame and goes against the spirit of the fandom. Perhaps in the 'real world', or if the fandom were livelier, I could actually get away with it, but I will just have to accept that this once in a lifetime thing that has taken over my life is simply not meant to be, no matter the amount of effort I put into it because the circumstances just aren't there, and the inherent core idea does not appeal in the right ways.Anyways, to make content for success in this lingering fandom is a crazy idea because if someone really wanted that they would do the smart thing, jump ship, and just make a video game or other project where high effort, proper marketing, and strong hook almost guarantees a comfortable success, at least more than you would get here where nothing ever happens and non hie fics get 200 likes tops and all discussion dies when they finish.

>>41745312No, you idiot. The spell Starlight mentions took her years isn't the blast. It's the shield Twilight uses, which she saw Starlight use once before and perfectly copied with just that.
>>41745612One must always lurk moar.
>>41745132Anon, I hate to say it but >>41745612 is entirely right. Your ignorance of board and thread culture and the way you keep feeding parasprites as a result while also making yourself incredibly recognisable doesn't just make you look bad, it also shits up the thread and makes it worse for everyone involved. Stop taking the bait, stop borderline avatarfagging, start staying quiet and looking around to understand board dynamics instead of making a fool out of yourself.
>>41745024Look at the state of this general: the degeneracy, the despair, the low-effort posts, the ignorance. However, there is one thing the sinners of this thread cannot stand and will reel back in terror and pain as if they have been blinded by light and burned by flame: Equestria Girls.They will catch only a glimpse before shrieking "No hooves!" and stammering "B-Barbie!" as if it doesn't underline their ignorance and bury their own arguments. They will be hypocritical and say that the existence of EqG is pure corporate greed, but is that not the same view My Little Pony and many other shows were in before people gave them a chance? Why do they harbor such vitriol and anger towards more pony content? They complain that it strays away from pony as if it cannot coexist and enhance it; not even mentioning that EqG is arguably more pony than many of the later seasons of FiM where ponies are merely manipulated around like humans in all but appearance. EqG's existence has a requirement to juxtapose the two worlds by having the girls struggle with pony problems and probity, while the ponies themselves get to do more cute pony-like things. And don't forget about the music! EqG has great songs that are on the same level as FiM Season 1 and 2; can you honestly remember or say you enjoyed any song from FiM season 5 onward? So, why do they do it? The reason for all of this is because, like any good story, Equestria Girls is an allegory of the Bible.Think about it.The world depicted in EqG, much like our own, is a disgusting, sinful place full of hate and pagan Greek mythology which makes it very easy to despise. The Humane 7 are the apostles that have witnessed and spread word of our Mare and Savior, Twilight Sparkle, and that only through her are we able to pass through the gateway to Equestria where we will be in the presence of her and our Celestial Mother for eternity. The Holy Spirit of Friendship gives these apostles virtue, grace, and power to destroy evil, and those that walk with them in their adventures (mirroring the parables) walk in the spirit also. Every single man, woman, child, beast, and creeping thing in the show has been given an opportunity to be saved by pony; even Sunset Shimmer, a fallen angel responsible for vile wickedness, repents and is offered salvation. These are what we should look and strive for.Everything I've just said is true without hyperbole, and this is why these sinners hate EqG—they are the pharisees who do not believe in this new testament as it undermines their position and criticizes their actions. But it is not too late for them! Free yourself of the hate and open your eyes, ears, and heart to the good news of EqG. You will be persecuted and harassed for your belief, but fret not because pony will be with you. Pray and try to emulate the girls in their struggles to achieve harmony on Earth and in Equestria. Celestia loves you and will always be there for you! It's time to come home, Anon. Galatians 5:2
>>41745782I'm not reading all that.I'm happy for you or I'm sorry that happened.
>>41745455This comparison is, you know, dumb on principle for a couple of reasons, one of them being that it has the fundamental powerwanker mindset where everything is just a number and if something beats something else that means you can just create a pecking order of strength, which completely ignores how magic is more Elemental in nature and traditionally has strengths and weaknesses and counters. Harmony doesn't beat Discord because it's stronger, Harmony beats Discord because it's like tossing water on a fire. And Harmony in Equestria is consistently treated as the fundamental good force of the world, it and the unity it represents and draws from will always be a win button because that's literally how the universe works in the setting.Also, nowhere is it established NMM was that much stronger than Celestia. The fundamental truth about their battle is that Celestia did not want to fight her. Also also, Tirek was defeated by a manifestation of the Tree itself at its strongest, not just by the Elements, and could easily be argued to be stronger than NMM. Again, that doesn't actually matter for comparison purposes, because raw magical power and how magic works and interacts are two different things. It's the classic battleboarding mistake of assuming a spell that does X requires the same amount of energy it would take to do the same with conventional physics, and the character can therefore make a weaponized blast of equivalent potency. It's not how magic works in basically any setting.You could even argue that Tirek only had Discord's raw power, but none of his powers, which makes it impossible to judge things properly. Similarly to how he's not shown moving the Sun and Moon around. He absorbed the ponies' magic but stripped entirely of its qualities and details. Compare and contrast the Storm King stealing the alicorns' powers specifically. In fact, one of the points of the whole story is that Twilight trying to brute force her way to victory through power is the wrong approach, because Friendship is (the ontologically superior form of) Magic and it will always trump villains who are merely accumulating strength. You can even argue that's where Cozy got her ideas from.All of that aside though, I thought it was a good thing when season 9 retconned that graph by establishing Tirek never actually had control over Discord's magic after he absorbed it.
>>41745772New blood in dead thread>Let's kill it!
>>41745326>>Banishes discordYou realise the whole point of the her "banishment' was that it didn't actually work, right? Like, it's entirely there as a joke. But even if you assume it worked as stated and Discord circumvented it out of necessity rather than a doing it to fuck with her when he could have just undone it, there's still a massive difference between "can't physically enter a small geographical perimeter (can still enter it in non material ways)" banishment and "turned to powerless stone for a millennium" banishment. DYEWTS?
>>41745782>our Mare and Savior, Twilight SparkleShow me the part of EqG where she dies and is resurrected.
>>41745132Don't listen to the bitter niggers. Keep doing you.
>>41745772>board and thread culture Which /fimfic/ don't follow btw
>>41745846We're more cultured than the rest of the board: In /fimfic/, it's not just OP who's a fag.
>>41745828No, that's not what I said you fucking faggot. It's great to have a newfriend here. But he's acting in a way that makes things worse both for him and for everyone else. Bad posts are worse than no posts, and if everyone here was acting like he was the place would be far more dead even if it was more active. I don't mind him posting about his stories and sharing his opinions, but I do mind when we have to trudge through dozens of posts' worth of slop because he's too clueless to recognise what he's dealing with and too used to making himself recognisable. Lurking to understand your environment isn't just a 4chan thing, it's basic expected behaviour on every site and a basic social standard irl too.
>>41745834You see, the portal to Equestria is actually a destructive process that then constructs a humanoid or pony copy.
The guy was posting and talking about fics a bit too much; we just want to talk about gay things here. Also, he was making himself very recognizable, and we all know that’s not something practiced in those threads.
>>41745772>confooooooooorm>don't make the fluttershitter cry out>liking good things is avatarfaggingI couldn't have written a better post to demonstrate the absurdity of adopting board culture to blend in. He's doing a great job, and I'd support him more if I wasn't busy.
>>41745846We do in terms of the specific thing that triggered the discussion. >>41745839No one worth listening to has a problem with him writing and posting cutesy adoption stuff or not being a degenerate. The problem is when he paints a target on himself with his posting style and proceeds to fail at the basic 4chan etiquette of learning which posts to ignore, all because the hasn't looked around enough to recognise the patterns.
>>41745862I know you lack basic reading comprehension so I'll put it in plain terms. The problem isn't what he writes. The problem isn't that he posts his stories here. The problem isn't that he's not a degenerate. The problem isn't that he posts cute pics (although that makes him a recognisable target when he makes missteps). Ther problem isn't that he posts art his wife made. There's arguably an innate issue when someone is new and makes very recognisable posts where every tiny thing that's wrong or dumb adds together to quickly colour people's perception of them and makes them an easy target for people looking to start shit, but that's not the major issue here. The problem isn't that he likes EQG. The problem isn't that he said he was writing EQG.The problem, in this specific thread, which specifically caused the garbage posts that filled it up, is that after he posted about EQG he immediately proceeded to fall like a clueless idiot for the first anti EQG post and made himself look like a clown by repeatedly engaging with the discussion even as it devolved into no u and literal pastas. It's like having a new guy at a bar order a drink and then immediately get into an argument with the drunkest person in the room. It makes him look stupid for engaging with someone who doesn't even remember what they said ten minutes before, and it makes the place worse for everyone else trying to chat over the shouting. It's socially clueless.
>>41745859He's writing too much and too fast.
>>41745883>socially cluelessOn MY 4chan?
>>41745915Writing is fun.
>>41745948Then why are so many writers miserable?

>>41745981
>>41745883I'm not convinced. I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt by saying that he knew they were Doug bait posts when replying to them because he's been doing that all the rest of the time. At worst, his replies don't acknowledge how low effort the bait was.And, given that post earlier about going though half a dozen contortions just to post more pictures of ponies, I don't think that the provocation for that "confoooooorm" post really has that much to do with the way him replying to the Doug bait caused a larger reply chain than the other times he replies to bait. That's just because the thread is more unified in recognizing that Dougs aren't ponies.My position on the chain is that the Doug bait posters are trash, and should come up with better material. The replies to them were at least a little funny and he was doing more than his fair share of the work to keep the reply chain entertaining. And, most importantly, he should stop liking EqG because that's not a good or valid opinion.Assign the blame for a shit thread to the shitposters, because that's where it belongs.
>>41746120I save my wit for my actual writing, thankyouverymuch.
>>41746120Looks like his fic is already in the bin anyway
>>41746120Knowingly engaging with bait to shit the thread up isn't better. It's arguably worse, but at best it's equivalent. >I don't think that the provocation for that "confoooooorm" post really has that much to do with the way him replying to the Doug bait caused a larger reply chain than the other times he replies to baitIt literally does, because I made both of them, and as I said in the second I had to go out of my way to explain the first to you, because you've proven over and over that you lack basic reading comprehension.
>>41746165I'm saying that I don't think the reason why you said you made the posts and the reason why you made the posts are the same, given their content.
>>41746180I'm saying you need to find someone experienced in dealing with retards and get them to teach you how to interpret information in a social context.

>>41745382>fraudlight needs someone else magic to fight
>>41746141It's only pure OC stuff that doesn't get in if you're halfway decent.
>>41746120>benefit of the doubt by saying that he knew they were Doug bait postsThat's the opposite of what giving him the benefit of the doubt would be. Pretending to be retarded and acting like the newest newfag is objectively worse than even being a permanent shitposter, because it shits up the thread all the same but with an extra layer of conceit on top of it. The second worst kind of poster after the people who are never on topic.This behavior has been consistent with almost all of his previous interactions itt. He's generating worthless posts either because he's entirely oblivious, or because he's entirely fake in the way he chooses to interact with the thread, and both of those are signs that he should not be posting. The former can be fixed by lurking, at least for everyone other than the people who deliberately shit on the agreed-upon community rules because they think they're special and know better.
>>41746434How're those horsewords coming along
>>41746444Actually pretty good, thanks for asking. I've written more last week than in the three months before that.
>>41746452Sounds like you're almost as productive as adoption anon.
>>41746454God, I wish. At least I cope that it's not about the size of your draft that matters, but how you use those words.Still, being productive doesn't give you a mandate to shit the thread up.
>>41746462You mean exactly like you're doing right now?
Oh, right.https://www.fimfiction.net/story/569702/principal-cinch-is-a-goddamned-moronFinished the proofread last night.
>>41746468It is always a delicate balance. It's not great, but keeping thread from abandoning what it is and spiraling off is crucial. Without that, there might as well not be /fimfic/.Furthermore, there's a huge difference between discussing something very much thread-related, and either baiting or being oblivious for fifty posts.
>>41746473Does this mean we're going to see Celestia as Sunset's mom stuff next?
>>41746485I've seen enough finished fics of that to not really feel a need for it, same with her as Sunburst's (older?) sister.
>>41745819>powerwanker mindset where everything is just a number and if something beats something else that means you can just create a pecking order of strengthWell yeah, that's what the show became.
>>41746487What about a fic where, through the magic of time travel, Sunset is Principal Celestia’s mom?
>>41746742Please find a way to time travel IRL so you erase yourself from history.
>>41746742Ridiculous, everyone knows Celestia's mom is Starswirl the bearded
>>41740074How is that possible? Do you write a fic about how Spike farts stink so bad that they empty the library?
>>41746870Just write about Sparky.
>>41746870The same way you write a wholesome foalcon transformation and mind control fic, I imagine.

Wait Clover the Clever was a dude this whole time?
>>41747774IIRC some game confirmed it
>>41747774Iirc in Journal of The Two Sisters Clover's referred to with she but in Forgotten Friendship (and the Gameoft game too) he's explicitly male.
>>41747774>>41747793 is correct, and he's referred to as male in the card game too. It should be noted that the Journal is definitely one of the weakest pieces of non show material when it comes to canon.
>>41747793>clover is transHmmm...
>>41747774Hurricane is the most consistently male depicted of the six. Puddinghead is probably the second most, and depicted as male in the series. Clover has arguably as many if not more male showings, but the community was always more against them because prevalent fanon interpretation leaned towards female.
>>41747835>clover the CLEVER>femaleHuh?
>>41747826Clearly the memory stone erased everyone's memory of Clover being a mare.
>>41747774On top of everything that's already been said, I feel like it's worth noting the earlier gen pony he got his name from is male too.
Well, the semantic search layer works, but the answer generation based on it is pretty weak. https://pastebin.com/U0R3Cu4GIt actually gets worse the more context I provide. NGL, that's pretty disappointing, after seeing the search layer work as well as it does.The RAG is distinctly less bad if I lead it towards the answer a little more, https://pastebin.com/X605tpa9Maybe tomorrow it'll do better.
>>41747807The Journal makes Luna call Celestia Celly instead of Tia, so it's shit.

>>41748291all artists draw porn; some of them make the mistake of trying to hide it.
>>41747910>tfw coming up on 250
>>41748604This is blatantly untrue. Some people might prefer to just not make porn for the same reason some of the anons itt don't write AiE: it's cheap and low.
Oh no, I'm getting an urge to write an episode fixfic. My brain's really starting to run wild with it.
>>41748781What do you plan to fix?
>>41748835Actually now that I think about it it could easily grow into being more like a fix of how changelings were handled in general. But letting that urge grow to encompass even more is probably the last thing I should be doing.
>>41748653I've spoken to some notable sfw artists in person at cons and their consensus was "yeah whenever we get together we draw marecock for fun". For examples outside the fandom, popular artists had NSFW folders found after their deaths, and notoriously Disney artists draw smut of the characters, some because they're into it and some just to fuck with Disney because they're forced to keep it. I'm pretty sure every 2D artist who's old enough has drawn porn at least once.
>>41748872>I've spoken to some notable sfw artists in person at cons and their consensus was "yeah whenever we get together we draw marecock for fun".HUHIs the marecock cabal really that influential?
>>41748875Big Marecock doesn't want you to know it pulls the strings behind the scenes.
>>41748880>Big MarecockStopped reading there (I got too horny to continue)
>>41748872That's a misunderstanding with the word "draw". You interpret it very literally here and I took it to mean "post your art of", since that's closer to what this chain was about (having a porn side account).No doubt the vast majority doodles some on the side or when shitposting in a group, but there's plenty of people who choose to only draw (post) sfw pics even if those are less popular.
>>41749019If you're using the word wrong that's your problem.
>>41749024Except that it's not just a valid use of the word, it's also the correct one here.When you that someone is "an artist who draws X", you typically mean that it's what they're known for *as an artist*, irrespective of what they're doing in their free time. Doodling horsedicks in your notebook doesn't mean the you-as-an-artist draws porn.

>>41748875Foalcon cabal is bigger. At least amidst nsfw artists. Almost every single notable artist you can think of has drawn it at some point.
>>41750119Yep. It's fascinating, really. I love discovering what seemingly innocent artists have given into cunny.
>>41750119It's not just the artists. This year one of the anni mods decided to "troll" the stream by queuing a short gif of Golly porn between S9's finale episodes on the anniversary and made a yes/no poll for it. The anni is technically a 18+ event, but they don't really queue porn. Even still, the votes were split about 50/50. I swear it wasn't this bad in the past.You might argue that this only reflects the more invested fans and not the whole fandom, but several hundreds of people is a good sample size.
>>41750139Fillies are sexy, cry about it.
>>41750146I don't mind filly fiddlers, I just really don't want us to degenerate to the level of furfags.
>>41750150Don't know if you've noticed, but the ones waging war on futa and foalcon are furniggers.
>>41750155I don't think that's true. Even if it were, it's irrelevant if it leads to the same place.
>>41750161And what place is that, my asinine alarmist?
>>41750150Anon, we're already a step below them in the hierarchy of cultural degeneracy.
>>41750163What you're seeing happening and doing right now. I like my ponies sexy, but there's a time and place for that, and I like them cute more. Porn taking over fandom spaces and overwriting the cute. SFW artists switching to NSFW.Can (You) imagine people routinely posting their fetish pics into the fimfic general and thinking that it's fine?>>41750176This is blatantly false.

>>41750533You don't need to come up with one. In fact, the less you address the apocalypse itself the better.
>>41750577What I said stands. Sad.>theyReread the post. Truth is what you personally can tell, not what any "they" say.
>>41750590Yes, that's what you've been convinced of, because it makes your weak frightened mind happy. If you convince yourself the little bubble you've built for yourself has any worth and never have to look outside it to confront the impenetrable sea you're placed in then you will go on with your life without opposing its currents, existing as a non-threat for those who direct them.
>>41750605That's pretty much the objectively correct way to approach things.You are not, in any way, a threat to any "people who direct the currents". You are just one person, and if you can ride the currents and make the small world in your immediate vicinity a better place while making decisions that are made in genuine accordance with your system of beliefs, you're doing a far better job than 99% of people.Anyone convincing themselves that they're fighting some major war is ultimately just a tool for the people who actually do.

>>41750533That's awesome to hear anon. For some reason i've been obsessed with merging ponies and a dark apocalyptic setting, despite my preferences for more 'canon' fitting content. I want to put a lot of work into coming up with a cool idea for an apocalypse befitting of ponies and put a lot of work into trying to do the idea well, because I really am not a fan of how FO:E handles things and i'm obsessed with the general concept otherwise. I hope you write something cool of your own, i'd love to see it on fimfic some day.
>>41750705That's a risk I'm willing to take.
>>41750802Fallout Equestria has this weird thing where it makes the zebras completely at fault for everything because they suck. Like there's a clear aggressor in its war versus in Fallout it being more of a social commentary.

Remember that Sunset Shimmer is canonically a streamer.
>>41750929Yeah Celestia's kids are fuckups, we know.
>>41750929>Sunset Shimmer>canonicallyishygddtNow I wonder: does eqg ever acknowledge that its "Mane6" and FiM's Mane6 are completely different ages? Because EQG is still in highschool by the end of the show, when most of M6 have long since started serious careers, no?

Even if you want to argue that ponies grow independent faster and they're not adults (which was a shit argument back in 2012 and is even worse now), 5+ years pass during the show since S1.>>41750987Alas, she's the misfortune of showing up in the worst possible series.
>>41751018Friendship Through the Ages is a better and more artistically realised tribute to music history than anything FiM ever put out.
>>41751006All of the mane 6 save for Pinkie and Twilight pay taxes.
>>41751026EQG's songs are usually worse than FiM's, but I like that one. It's in that neat mkog 10th anni video:https://youtu.be/6j167a9Fa-Q
>>41750967To give a serious answer the timing of things in EQG makes zero sense to the point where there are multiple fics that treat the school as a sort of magical purgatory where time doesn't advance as it should just to try and make things work. The age differences are the tip of the iceberg and quite honestly the easiest thing to explain as just a quirk of how different universes work. Human Celestia is massively younger than pony Celestia too after all, or so we can assume. There's even a headcanon about how each generation has its own Celestia equivalent to maintain the balance, based on the appearance of a younger character with her same colour scheme.
>>41751040Hope Shines Eternal is also a proper tune.
>>41751039There are no taxes in Equestria.
