Nah you ain't getting me.There's a reason it's just you out there and no other wildlife or animals.You not getting me.
>>42579738What ever do you mean?They are perfectly safe to interact with.Please, come closer. Enter the circle. You will be rewarded.
We are so back.
Fifth for sex with Pine Ponder
What would snowponies think of desert landscape and cactus?
>>42580302Well, the concept of a large wasteland with very few resources certainly wouldn't be something strange to them, but the lack of water might be hard to believe.
>>42580960Are we getting sandponies next?
>>42581011I mean... They're kind of already here?
Snow bump
>>42581215>are you screwing with me>yesKek.
>>42581879The pony on the left doesn't seem to be so excited.
>>42581215True. Would be cool if we could call them sandponies instead of Saddle Arabians, though. I think "sandpony" sounds better and also eliminates any connotation of human places and/or religions. Would be fun if there was a spin off sandpony lore the way snowpony lore developed. But, unless it happens organically it should not be pushed.
>>42580676wouldn't snowpones make snowmares instead of snowmen?
>>42582367Yup, that's why the snowpone is confused
>>42579552i read this as "showpone" thread kek
snowy pones
>>42582827Given the OP pic, it's not inaccurate.
>>42582824Kek I never thought of that.
>>42579552The thread template is kinda massive and pretty much useless. I liked the previous snowpony thread, nice and simple.
>>42584889yeah it is a bit too longhaving all the stories in the op is what's taking up most of the space, but those are nice to have there
>>42584900I'd keep only the most reason ones
>>42584930That's really not the way to go.Better do what other threads do, and have a single ponepaste link with all the other links in the ponepaste
>>42584946Well of course, but I mean the ones that should be displayed on the OP
>>42585191?
>>42579552>ThebatshartSnowmares ruined edition
>>42585895huh?
>>42585968One of the resident schizos, ignore it
>>42579552What were snow ponies doing in Florida anyways
>>42586604Maybe they won an all expenses paid vaction radio contest. They heard it on Anon's radio. There was a trivia question about feeesh and Anon let them radio in the answer. I am assuming here that Anon is some sort of Arctic researcher with a base camp, radio set, and other equipment.
I hope you wash your Frosty plushes
I want to kiss cirrus, but how would I even find her?
>>42588146She can almost always be found where a warm front meets a cold front.
>>42585599
>>42588948>BlancaAlso the name of the monster fighter guy in Street Fighter 2. Ergo, I conclude that this particular abominable is also a fantastic fighter.
>>42589070RIP hat anon.
>>42589432Soon snowmares will be stealing all your clothes. Lichen will probably be stealing underwear.

>>42590807ooomare spotted
>>42591934She’s so cute
>>42590807Is the snowmare a kelpie?
>>42590308I don't see why snowpones would be retarded like that.
>>42593597Grug speak would imply they are abominables or at least were raised by abominables.
>>42592924Just fishing, most likely.
>>42591409The forbidden technique
>>42593960Nature can be so fascinating.
>>42594617It sure is.
>>42579552She looks like she fucks human men.
>>42595579Even better. She snuggles human men.
>>42593597Their English is limited, but they are quite fluent in their own tongue.
>>42595955I'd bet she gives the best snuggles, if you can get past the smell when kissing
>>42595579she very likely would. Be careful if you find yourself in her area
>>42595980What smell?
>>42595955In an ice desert, that's much more valuable too.
>>42596816Not quite a desert. They've got trees, mushrooms, and at least one farm.
>>42596382Be careful? Seems counterproductive.
>>42598910Thank you
>>42596715The fishy breath native to snowpones who never brush their teeth
Wake up, snowponer.
Shove your snowpity up your butt pit.
>>42601313Life
>>42584661Wholesome.
>>42600658
>>42602060incredible comf
>>42602555Very sleepy today.
>>42602555give her a good night smooch
>>42602555>>42602060I wonder how she can rest so well without a blanket.
>>42604074tummy full of human cummy
>>42579552I'm aware of the abominable snowmare, but what other mythical mares exist in the snowny canon?
>>42604074Snow ponies have a double coat of fur. The first set, which we all see, is long and soft. The second The second is short and rigid. It's main goal is to trap air around the snow pony, so they can better insulate themselves. This is why you may notice snow ponies fluffing their coats from time to time. What they're actually doing is increasing their second coats ability to trap air. Also human cummies play a role.
>>42604162I like that idea. Minus the last sentence.
>>42604152>picIs that the Shy Guy?
>>42604816It's a heckin wedigo
>>42604858I like the horse version more.
>>42579552Is that a roman salute?
>>42605308Come on, anon, she's clearly just sending her heart out to the people.
>>42605308Ja
>>42605978All fall to the snowpony curse
>>42591934sharing is caring ^.^
>>42605978>Not making a snowflake shaped swastikaWasted potential.
>>42606846>CurseIt's not a curse, it's a sidegrade.
>>42605506What a considerate mare.
>>42604858Didn't recognise it. I think they're usually depicted with antlers.
>>42609384On her way to steal your clothing.
>>42610130She can't keep getting away with this!
snownies?
Welp, I'm off to bed. Been boomping all day, someone else take over.
>>42613318Realistically, under what circumstances would a snowpony let you do that?
>>42614171If you fathered her foals, probably
>>42610130
>>42614764>Stealing your stuff with a smileThat's why we love her.
>>42614171If you have to tie her leg to her neck to prevent her from kicking you I don't think she's necessarily letting you milk her.
>>42614764so cute
>>42614764I want to rapidly build a sturdy, comfy log cabin for her complete with a Franklin stove to keep it nice warm inside. Also, I would furnish it with nice beds, other furniture, and blankets with snowpony tribal designs. Incidentally, big fluffy, snowpony tribal design blankets might be a good merch idea.
>>42608822Yeah that's the Hollywood version. It's very similar to the vikings with horned helmets misconception. Although snowponies with horns does sound like an interesting bit of law. Maybe they're part on an ancient snowpony tribe?
>>42617092That would make them look more like deer though.
>>42617099Wow, racist much? You should always look at the tail before jumping to conclusions.
>>42617092I would suggest it be something of a status or seniority symbol for their shamans. Particularly nature attuned or favored ones end up growing a set of antlers. They don't channel magic the same way a unicorn or kirin horn would, but could at least do some neat stuff like light up or project images based on what they're shaman-ing at the moment
>>42617164I can see that happening. Perhaps there's a stigma in some tribes, where they hunt these snowponies and use their antlers for rituals. I can also think of some slurs, like branchie or nesthead. As for magic I suggest that their antlers give them a method to contact their ancestors through some form of spiritual projection.
>>42617086I'd watch a documentary about the evolution of snowpony cuisine.There must be some weird stuff in there.
>>42618177Wrong thread fucko
>>42618194Yeah, sorry about that. I had both open and clicked the wrong one lmaoFor the trouble
>>42617092>Yeah that's the Hollywood version.Well, that figures.
>>42608822I prefer the antlered variation because it's just a classical Ghoul otherwise.
>>42604152>mythical maresMaybe there's a werewolf mare that becomes a floewolf during a full moon?>other mythical creatures.Not a pony, but there's got to be something like a fluffy actic jacklope that has various magical qualities.
>>42619662She tried to copy Lichen and her coat froze to the spot.
>>42579552jee frosty, why does your mom let you have two hats?
>>42619662
>>42619696That's why you never copy Lichen. It's a very bad idea.
>>42619662huh...>>42619714Oh, now it makes sense.
>>42619696Lichen lays in Lichen. Frosty laid in frost. It was bound to happen, but she's a silly pony.
>>42619662this makes me laugh so fucking hard
>>42623446Bundle up with Bundle Up under a bundle of bundled up blankets and then boop her with your nose.
>>42623949Lovely!
Snowponer save.
>>42595579Agreed.
Snowpony made a critical navigational error along the way
>>42627260Will snowpony be introduced to cactus as well? What will she think? Please keep her out of dust storms.
>>42619662>we don't have any razorneedle pines in this area, they said>you can ski down the mountain as fast as you want, they said
>>42627614>Please keep her out of dust storms.She should get rid of some of her hair first anyway. The thick coat will block the sun, but the heat will become a problem.
>>42627260Well, at least she doesn't look all that bothered.
Snow bumo.
>>42628455She's used to harsh conditions. Not the same sorts of harsh conditions, to be fair.But still, the principle of "adapt and overcome" still applies, and snowponies are experts at doing just that.
Slow burn at the moment.
>>42627260If that were Lichen, I'd believe it if that was done purpose.
>>42627260when you think about it, the desert and arctic aren't all that different
>>42630183Probably. Then she'd ponder if this is what 'being in heat' means, because she can't go 3 seconds without being lewd.
>>42630270unf
>>42631140This is not a face of mercy.
>>42631528Those things must be the biggest Equestrian export to Snowponia.
>>42617179>I can see that happening.I can't.
>>42632333Can they lower the entrance "hatch" if they wanted to?
>>42632961It would be a very unrefined design if they couldn't.
>>42617164>Particularly nature attuned or favored ones end up growing a set of antlers.Ehhhhhhh.To elaborate: it makes little sense.for them to start growing body parts of other species. Fluffing up is one thing - there have been noted instances of cows and other animals becoming way hairier if they run away from the comfort of domesticated life and go feral (cute pink pigs can apparently turn into shaggy, black-furred hogs in a matter of weeks, sometimes).There could be far, far easier explanations that would still allow you to go in a similar route...Shamares. (And IRL shamans.) What do they do to communicate with spirits? They accessorize themselves with various animal parts. Want to summon a bird? Get feathers, an avian mask, bird bones, etc. Wolves? Fangs, a paw, wolfskin cloak... You get the idea. Shamares attune themselves to the things they seek to summon/control/banish, becoming closer to those things, and therefore being granted a measure of power over them. But what if it goes too far? What if a shamare finds a pair of discarded antlers, sticks them on her head, and... After performing some powerful magic, discovers that they're now stuck to her head?The stigma associated with having antlers could be due to ponies like that being perceived as going too far, either in the pursuit of power and seeking to claim the powers of others, or due to disbalance. Being a bridge between the spirits of the world and nature means having balance: one hoof in the spirit world, one hoof with your tribe and people, and your interests still must ultimately lie in assisting your people, though not at the cost of turning nature against them. Having antlers might signify that the shamare went off the deep end, becoming a beastly thing of the wilds, caring little for other ponies and perhaps even being hostile to them. A radical extremist druid/hippy sort of deal.
Thread got stuck in the snow, I tell you.
>>42635403Cute. What is she chasing?
>>42636045Maybe just going to her destination in a fun way.
>>42636713100% something she'd do.
>>42638074It kept mostly everything intact. That's worth something I suppose.
>>42638074>neeighCute
>>42638074Kinda cute, but also close to horror movie level stuff.
Up.
>>42639309You should see the first attempt. Or not.>>42638567I especially like the tail.
>>42640280https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzuqsFxJv8c>>42640758What's she hunting?
>>42640765>What's she hunting?Your boots-
>>42638074I'm scared
>>42640765>What's she hunting?YOU NIGGA!
>>42635403This anon needs a sled or something.
>>42642019She has met her nemesis.
>>42636374That sums it up. Pure snowponer wholesomeness.
>>42642176She's going to bribe a shamare to give Anon a hair transplant so she can brush him.
>>42642019>>42642528>The snowponies shave some fur off and use fish glue to stick it to Anon's head while he's asleep
Having an abominable in your party would make exploration infinitely safer.
>>42642969>rape
>>42642969Yep, someone wants attention.
>>42643365Certainly more mobile than an avalanche bell.
>>42644275And fluffier too.
>>42642544Kek. Potential for artwork right there.
>>42642544>it actually melds to him, becoming part of his body>Anon turns into a 70s TV actor with a kickass mustache, a shitty mullet, and those godawful thick sideburns>sunglasses fall from the sky inexplicably and land on his face
>>42645744Snowpony magic is truely astonishing.
>>42642969that's gotta hurt
>>42648386qt
>>42647245I don't think the horse scraped skin here. Only the jacket gets grabbed.
wakey wakey.
>>42650733I think he means the part where it looks like he straight up got stepped on twice near the end
>>42655266it looked like he wanted to hold his head in pain
>>42655266I doubt it's especially comfortable given hooves are solid masses of keratin, but I don't think foals are all that heavy. Discomfort more than pain, I'd say.
>>42655828Not sure about that. This doesn't really look like a defensive movement.
>>42652399Oh, they'll melt the bell in anger. And it's 100% Lichen's fault.
>>42658274What a cute trip pony.
Snow poner bump.
>>42658274>hatDescendant of the hero?
>>42661771I guess that's a coincidence.
>>42663594scary
>>42665940The glow of the runes is cool. It really sells the magical feeling.
>>42668974I'd say this image is cool, but that's already obvious.
>>42671146
>>42674748do all snowpones accept pinecones as payment?
>>42675795Man, a snowpone of that size would be imposing.
>>42678889It's probably a general bartering system, unlikely that they'd have a common currency.
>>42678889Probably not. Snowpones are still generally in a trade and barter system. Pine just has a particular fascination with them. Shamares /might/ take them as payment around 'Blessing of the Cones' time if they're good enough to be used in the ritual. What exactly that means is unclear.
>>42681446looks soft
Snow poner save.
>>42681446Frosty's flank would make a nice pillow.
>>42684706hmm....
>>42685437Is that a chewed up boot on the floor?
>>42684414Good blush.
>>42687158One must make sure the colts and fillies don't eat the wrong mushrooms.
>>42690212Oh yeah, that's important.
>>42579552Best snowpone art.
Saong the snowporners.
>>42693736lewd
>>42689137But of course.
>>42697556Jesus, again.
>>42698078
>>42698391
>>42699226She has her eyes on the prize.
>>42694940They're adorable.
>>42699226Cute
Snowponies would threat anyone who is fluffy like them but has horns, wings, etc non-snowpony features with extreme suspicion because there are skinwalkers who seek to get in and destroy snowpony tribes from within, but can't resist having a "tell".
>>42702806Regular ponies aren't nearly as fluffy as them though.
I'll just leave these here for a moment...
>>42582827i want snowmare to be a showmare

Snow poner bumo.
>>42707463The boot makes the image perfect.
Wake up, snowponies.
>>42710442She shares some traits with Flutters, doesn't she.
>>42709886
>>42710768Yes, I think so; particularly if the animal shares her interest in pinecones.
Snow poner up.
>>42711907perfectly cut logs for their fence. They would need an iron saw for that, wouldn't they? I thought they were in the stone age
>>42713680What if they got some iron from the Anons of the expedition?
>>42713680Stone? I wouldn't say that... Metal might be rare, but I don't think they're completely unaware of it
>>42713680Magically hardened ice saws maybe? Also, this (>>42713894) is a fun idea; Anons trading metal tools for snowpony made items in the snowpony villages.
>>42713089
>>42715158>Page 10 in 90 minutesWhatever, doing my part.
>>42710442hhnnnngg so adorable!!
>>42715158
>>42717162Pretty sure that counts as lewd in some circles.
>>42582827Honestly same, I had go do a double take due to the thread pic. Thought it was going to be mainly about showmares/MF mascots kek. Ill take snow pones tho
>>42718190What is she carrying there?
>>42718749It's either some sort of flask full of magical elixir of life to help those caught in blizzards, or hot cocoa. Either way, it's enormously cute!
>>42719172>magical elixir of lifeThat's one way to describe cocoa.
Cold mare stare
>>42720575Would a hug warm her up?
>>42720575>tfw the signs aren't keeping the outsiders out
>>42721713Well, what do they expect when they keep using an archaic script for the signs? We can't read them.
>>42712567I love these group pics with so many ponies
>>42713680The pony tribes were bronze age at worst when the windigoes came. I doubt snowpones have regressed technologically from that point. However, resource scarcity could mean more sophisticated tools are rare. Perhaps a sign of prestige, even.Snowpones probably don't have many, if any, mines or quarries, so generally what they have to work with is whatever they find on the surface. It's possible the taiga villages might dig open pit mines, or that villages close to the mountains the abominables live in might look for caves to explore, but metal may still be hard to come by.
>>42722346Yeah, the details are always very impressive.
>>42722344Skill issue.
Snowpone bumo.
>>42721126Perhaps if you somehow warmed her shoulders...
>>42580302>>42627614Hm, yes, cac-toos. She was warned of these. Docile unless provoked. Fascinating.
>>42724844>Docile unless provoked.I am reminded of those trees in Australia that shoot needles at you if you get too close and the venom keeps you in pain for decades.
>>42724870Sounds like nettles on steroids.
>>42724539Then she can't give you the cold shoulder.
>>42724844Imagine the shit Lichen would do if she had access to cactus plants.
>>42726037Probably get bored and then spend the next few hours with her mother pulling needles out of her coochie lips.
>>42726394>pulling needles out of her coochie lipsJesus.
>>42725902That's the goal.Un-grump the grumpmare!
>>42727430Par for the course with that one. So far she's throated a wooden sculpture and gotten her hindquarters stuck to a log. One way or another, needles are going to end up somewhere embarrassing.
You're last on the board.
>>42728741I'm afraid that's the truth.
>>42726394UNF
>>42730305I wouldn't be surprised if she found it funny afterwards.
>>42727975But anon, that's the source of her power!
>>42731033Her grumpower?
>>42731653Yes.
>>42732704Cute pixel art.
>>42732704Sleepy grump. Must recharge grumpness.
Good morning, snowponer.
>>42734549I'm still sleepy.
>>42732275Her birds see everything, don't they?
>>42737727>bone hair thingIsn't that a bit morbid for snow pones?
>>42738374Snowponies are mich more willing to use bones, pelts, and such. Ties into both the survivalist and indigenous theming many have
>>42737727Hey, they're cute,>Checking tags>BrothersOh.
>>42738374Why would it be morbid? Bone hairs are quite natural for young stallions.
>>42739533>Bone hairs are quite natural for young stallions.I wasn't aware that there are other examples of this.
>>42735381Happens to the best of us.
I wanna camp out with the snowponers...I'm just afraid that I'll die in the process...(Who am I kidding, I would die in the process, god damn...)
>>42739987Tons. Usually in the mornings.
>>42743212If the song is to be believed, you'll wake up in an igloo in the middle of a pile of snowmares.
>>42742206NIghts in the snowpone lands are something to behold.
>>42744661I bet they are. I'd also wish to see the northern lights at least once before I kick the bucket. The cold is a major hindrance though.
>>42745329Why does stickpone look fed up with pinepone's bullshit?
>>42745931Brutal.
>>42745931what the FUCK did the fish do to deserve this???
From the miss /mlp/ thread
>>42746476It got born as a fish.

>>42746736Cute!
>>42746736She'll definitely win this year, right!?
>>42747757no
>>42747759she always wins in my heart
>>42746736Oh, that is going on again... how time flies.
>>42749534Yep, and it's a mess again.
>>42720575I wanna turn that expression into a smile.
>>42751153i miss marbo
>>42751202Same.
>>42751153Current Seeker holding the basket is cute, but she's not very good at it if she's already dropped two fish.
>>42753064I love that kirin and snowponies have so much art together
>>42753378Imagine being constantly miffed t avoid freezing.
>>42753986The Puffins has been quadrupled!

Two-story igloos are silly. But cute.
>>42755943What's really silly is snow bridges
>>42757002Maybe constructing things out of snow is another subtle aspect of snowpone magic. Snowwalking is a clear magical adaptation, so others are possible.
>>42753988>be kirin in snowpony territory for reasons>it is cold>the cold makes you uncomfortable>the discomfort makes you upset>slowly you start to heat up from being upset>no longer cold>no longer upset>residual heat keeps you warm>eventually start cooling down>it is cold
>>42757905That Kirin will need a lot of energy to warm up repeatedly like that.
What sort of fitness is required physically health is needed to reach the snowponies?I am VERY fat and VERY retarded, so PLEASE...Do tell me that I am a DUMB motherfucker! I expect it!
>>42579552no thoughts, only feeesh
>>42760020What is comrade cat doing there in the background?
>>42759255Getting there isn't too hard for a motivated human. It's what you want to do there that changes the fitness level needed
>>42760085where there's a fish, there's a kot
>>42760455Why is it a commie cat though?
>>42761195Because the North of Equestria is set in Russia, duh
>>42761715Pass the vodka, comrade Vladimare.
>>42755292
>>42763105
>>42763500
>>42761715We must prevent comrade cat from propagandizing the snowpones into commieism.
