Is it too early to start listening to Christmas music
2nd for faggots like (you)
>>42675327FUCK
>>42675319you can listen to nightmare before christmas music, otherwise it's cheating
>>42675319Obviously not!
Hello, friends! I'm here once again! With a new name, like always.It's been years already and every time I think this year will be my last. Like now. So here's to one more year!Also I'm currently overanalyzing the name because I'm not familiar with the tree it's based on.
>>42675530Your name has three asses in it.
>>42675557Yeah that's the point.Didn't stop me from looking things up and deciding it actually means old timey root beer mare.
>>42675557>>42675567>assI know we all love us some cute mares, but Sassafrass Glass screams donkey to me.
We’re so back I’ve been trying to teach myself how to draw ever since I go my Id drawn for me last year not the best but I think it’s cute
>>42675572Sassafrass Glass the Ass is an anal slut
>>42675572Unicorn mare, yellow coat, white mane and tail. CM is a fancy glass of hipster root beer.
>>42675576Oh no, she's a QT.Good work! You did a great job!
Feeling the holiday hype! Might try and draw my OC today. Here's a Christmas Flutter I found to help increase the holiday aura
>>42675319Sure would love to listen to Christmas music... if Neighborhood FM wasn't down.
>>42675625I have it on good authority that Snowy is working on it.
Festive Posting to get more people to sign up.
Humbug posting to reduce signup numbers, increasing my odds of getting a plushmancer for a Santa.
>>42675319Soon…https://files.catbox.moe/90y55j.mov
>>42675780Why
>>42675780
Hmm, yes, I dunno...
>>42675576Kissable Cotton. I bet she’s soft.
>>42675572>>42675605Either way I bet she’s best friends with Saspirilla (sic) Sips
I set up an account for receiving mail directly to a package station instead of my actual address. I'm gonna do like one test order to that and then I'll join this.
>>42675951Been there, done that.
>>42676007
>>42676007Can you enter this instead of your full name on the sign-up sheet?
>>42675319>>42675625I listen to this every year for Christmas music: https://archive.org/details/attentionkmartshoppersIn addition to the usual citypop.But yes, it is cheating to start so early, and you don't want to burn yourself out on it like so many retail workers. Enjoy autumn while it lasts!
I hope I get horse pussy this year
>>42676007Anon could you give us a story time for this?
>>42676097>I listen to this every year for Christmas music: https://archive.org/details/attentionkmartshoppers>Click on link because it's 4chan>Get confused on how to play the music>See that there is a Winamp version>Instantly know how to use this>Enjoy the wonderful visualization effects I haven't seen in 20 years... I'm pretty much already dead at this point bros. Don't cry for me. I'm already dead.
>>42676144If you don't add it to your wishlist then you will never get it. As a reminder you can modify your wishlist as much as you want before sign ups close.
>>42672202Oh my goodness gracious, very nice drawing, thank you!
>>42673740Another holiday pony drawn! Offer still open to those in need!
>>42676151Well I’ve wanted a Dashite brand ever since I read FoE one because I think they have an admirable philosophy and two because I already have one other brand and I knew that a homemade brand probably wouldn’t come out super clean, and Dashite brands are consistently described as ugly so I figured it would be a good choice compared to like, an actual waifu brand that I would want to come out crisp. So I bent up some wire, stuck it in a gas stove and smacked it on my arm. It retrospect I wish I had made it a little bigger just to get a little more detail out of it, but at the time I had an arrangement with my significant other to get something less overt.
>>42676310Squishy goodness. She used to play the sitar before moving out to Appaloosa. She still makes amazing holiday naan.
>>42676338>actual waifu brand that I would want to come out crisp. So I bent up some wire, stuck it in a gas stove and smacked it on my armNigga, did you go to the hospital at all for that? Were you prepared with disinfectants/painkillers when you did that or did you just say "fuck it, we ball" and brand yourself. That could not have been pleasant.
>>42676357Fuck it we ball. Not that I am recommending other people go out and give themselves third degree burns, because I’m sure that there’s, y’know, a real risk of infection or whatever but tbdesu it wasn’t very bad. I’d say vaguely on the level of accidentally kicking a dresser in the middle of the night and breaking a toe level of pain. And I just did your standard wound care for a small burn, cool water on it for half an hour, then wet bandages and disinfectant for a few days until it scabbed over and dry bandages after that until it healed up. As I recall, I was visiting my brother’s city at the time and immediately afterwards my brother invited me to watch The Rings of Power which had just premiered, and that was a considerably more unpleasant experience than the branding.

>>42675625Rest your rage, Chompy
>>42675625>>42675695It's up
>>42676824WOOOOOOOO!
>>42676310Haha she's a big snuggly fatty
I don't touch these threads because i live with other people and hide my power level so i can't own or send packages without being figured out but i saw the pizza guy last thread and i got a neat little present for younot sure if these are 100% fresh but I got two hefty coupon codes for Jet's Pizza if u want em >5 time use, Buy one get one free any 1 topping pizza of equal or lesser value excluding extra large and party trays>BG1T>5 time use, 25% off any pizza at menu price>25MPthe back of them each says limited to 1 use per day so save the codes if u wanna use em for later in case an anon already used it once that dayNot as cool as the official pizza gift card poster but figured i would at least give you something i wouldn't use myself
Rolled 12 (1d29)Alllllllrighty, it's been a few days, let's go ahead and draw our winners for the raffle! What raffle? Why, the raffle you got for reading the FAQ document and emailing me the codephrase hidden in there!The prize today? This package of Rainbow Tail Surprise poners!Our contestants, and please Celestia may I not have forgotten anybody, I'm almost positive I got them all. Usually I'd keep the giveaway entrant list in a public doc for people to check and confirm, but since this was a secret raffle I couldn't.

>>42677038Isn't it a bit early in the season to start rigging raffles, Pony Claus?
>>42677038Oh. I saw it but i thought i had more time. Lmao
>>42677048B-but Pony Claus w-what if I genuinely believe those things with all my heart!!!!!
Been watching these threads for a few years but haven't yet manned up and participated.This year I'm tempted to change that! Any recommendations for how long I should reserve a PO box?Or should I just give strangers on the internet my real address
>>42677139
>>42677261I’d hang onto it through February to be on the safe side.
>>42676310i'd like one if you are still able? i slopped this out but if you brainstorm something better Go For It
>>42676007>>42676094
I got my extremely late gift in June I was pretty sad that I hadn't gotten the main gift and then this thing showed up in the mail. I'm pretty happy with it. Though I am a bit disappointed because I thought it would be a plush But I understand things happen
>>42675780My merriment is growing exponentially. It cannot be contained. It's just like her
>>42675748With that attitude, I'm going to fill your plushie with coal.
>>42677477Kek
Reposting from last thread >>42668300Hello, friends! As early as it may be, it's never too early for a GIVEAWAY!I have in my possession TWO of these old cursed Pinkie Pie jack-o'-lantern kits. I'll be giving away both of them to two randomly selected contestants. Price of entry is a post of your most unique pony possession! Something odd, or rare, or just well-loved in a way other anons probably wouldn't have considered. Or, if you don't have anything unique, a post of something you'd like to have would work as well.Post about it or tell us about it! Deadline is this coming Sunday, October 19th. I'm in the US, domestic mail should arrive before Halloween, but international packages will likely not make it in time.
>>42677848She looks so eager to be bullied
>>42677982I’m all for getting cursed!I think probably the oddest or most unique part of the collection are my pony pipes.
>>42678106Ignore silly name forgetting.
>>42677071But Wool Socks didn't win though
>>42678177Only because she didn’t enter
>>42677425Still able!
>>42677982This is a great giveaway, its perfect bait to trick people into revealing who they are if they own something unique enough that they can be identified from it by enough people. I'll have to find something unique I own that isn't my most easily recognizable unique possession.
>>42678277holy shit this is so good woah
>>42677982I have a rock signed by PrinceWhateverer, Biscuit, and Melody Brony.
>>42678277Unf
>>42678685I have a rock signed by Ingrid Nilson

>>42678277I’d let him/her ride my pen, if you know what I mean.
>>42678277Pen test with Pen Rider when?
>>42676824>neighborhood.horse is still not workingFuck it, I'll be deploying my own neighborhood with blackjack and hookers.
Reporting in.
>>42678868I have a rock
>>42679721>>42678868>>42678685Dang. All these rock havers!
>>42677982My most unique possession is this cork some random anon gave me at the first marefair He popped a bottle open and handed it to me and I've kept it in my derpy lunchbox ever since
Just checking in, this is my first year joining in secret santa. Very excited to get my giftee's wishlist.
>>42679817nigga who asked
>>42677982I have a custom 4th Doctor Whooves figurine that i assume was made from an existing Pinkie figurine that i got at Bronycon '12 or '13
First timer here. I want to join in this year, but I don't know if I'll have something interesting to give. What do you usually do for presents? Do you shop for MLP merch, draw something, make arts and crafts?
>>42680128All of the above. Those are all good ideas
How would you anons feel about receiving a mead making kit with a recipe based on your favorite mare and the ingredients to make it (or the ingredients I could reasonably ship)? I dabble in making my own meads but I don't think I would have any ready to send off by the deadline, this seems like it could be a fun little compromise.
>>42680005I did, u faget
>>42680212I would love it!
>>42680212That's the honey booze, right? Sounds fucking awesome
>>42679817>>42680128welcome to the best event on the board newfriends
>>42680212That’s a pretty sick gift, yeah.
>>42680005Your mum asked for my dick last night.
>>42680212That's not really something I'm interested in going through with, although it is a unique idea.
>>42680212That actually neat and original idea. But it may work only for domestic santee, unfortunately.
>>42680212I've been trying that hobby for about a year now. I'm running out of counter space due to the equipment.
>>42679473You right! Sorry! I'll work on that too, but that station itself is up. Here's the naked link for it: https://lunar.citrus3.com:2020/public/neighborhoodfm
>>42677982I don't want the kit (I already have one), but I have a little jar of Santa's "Wedding Day Milk Bath" from when Santa Pone drew me a bath at her house and unwittingly boiled me alive like a lobster.
>>42680128All of the above, yeahMy code has me get together:>get $25 min of bought merch>make something custom that feels like $25>a handmade felt stocking>goodies for the stocking >a cardWhile working on cards for my cardees. Those Im going to scale back a bit this year and not go insane trying to make super custom art and craft cards unless I really have a good idea
>>42680212Not one to imbibe myself, might want to ask your Santee to be sure
>>42680477>tfw I spent all day looking into azuracast to get a new neighborhood fm up>tfw bought a domainuh.. well I know about azuracast now I suppose, kek.Oh well
>>42680128I'm a shit artist so I shop around for merch and do arts & crafts stuff. Be creative with your gift and have fun with it.
>>42680562yeah I give up. Fuck it, no neighborhood fm mirror running on a pi in my basement with cloudflare tunnels. They literally force you to open ports and I kinda didn't wanna have to deal with the ingress on top of my already self hosted stuff.It's real jankware
>>42678685>>42678868>>42679721>>42679791The rock in question It rocks
>>42668300>Not putting on my nametag because I do not want that cursed bullshit in my life.I think one of the rarest things that I have is a MLP Series 1 Trading Card, #1 of 84 "Twilight Sparkle". When you bought a pack of Series 1 trading cards, each pack came with a card between 73 - 84 which had a sweepstakes code on the back to enter at Enterplay.com. Turns out I won the sweepstakes. The prize was a non-numbered card that was signed by a voice actor on the show. I won the card that was signed by Tara Strong. If you notice, the bottom right of the card has no number. Also, before you ask, they mailed it in a simple clear card sleeve so I had to put it into a plastic case I had on-hand.So, if you are really into the Trading Cards and thought you had them all... no you don't.
Well then. It's finally that time of year. I'm scratching off the rust and look forward to the next 3ish months of cheer. Forgive me if my obsession with The Anni marathon keeps me from feeling the holiday cheer until November.>>42677982 Most unique huh? I can't find a pic, but I've got an original comic page from Tony fleecs of Sunset with the best sleep-deprived done-with-this-shit expression. Barring that I'll throw up the cutie in pic from this Marefair's badge swap as the first art I've gotten for Bunny same day, in person.
>>42679307Now
>>42681659unf
Give me gift ideas that I could include with cards that I can do for anons.
>>42681709I have a 3d printer and a cricut if that can inspire (I'm a hack)
>>42681709Design a unique scent for each anon and spray the envelope with it
>>42681709Snip off a couple pubes so every Anon can clone their very own (You)
>>42681659What a gay faggot pony.
>>42681659He/She? passes the sharpie test!
>>42681845You know "Pen Rider" is like an actual job, right? It's like a cowboy-we-have-at-hone.
>>42681958Yeah, but a sexual innuendo is funnier to my smooth neanderthal brain.
>>42679810Artistic interpretation
>>42680784I mean, if you got a whole ass domain, why not point it at the current station since neighborhood.horse isn't working at the moment?
>>42681958Ye, I actually added it because it came up as a job listing in my town out at one of the feedlots.
>>4268248110/10 made me giggle
We got too many rootin tootin outlaws round these parts. I reckon it's time for this Neighborhood to get us a Marshall. Icy Light Flurry might be a little old, but a few wrinkles just show what she's lived through.
>>42677982>GIVEAWAYThis is my most unique (and most prized) pony possession. She was the gift I received from last year's /ss/I love this plush on the same level that I love my teddy bear which I've had since infancy.
>>42680109Oh, Id love to have that!
>>42684353Auschwitz ahh drip
>>42684469You should've seen it at BABS con.
>>42684353That is incredibly soulful plush.
>>42682769Actually good idea! You can now visit https://neighborhood-fm.xyzAnd that will take you to the radio! yeah a .horse domain costs 50 bucks a year and I am not about that when a XYZ is barely 2.
>>42683924wow cool older mare.....
>>42684616>I could have just used cloudflare rules the whole time>would have saved me hours of trying shit that didn't workNow I know I suppose. Eh, radio anon, let me know if the current hosting is costing out the ass and you wanna migrate the radio to a cheaper VPS at some point.
>>42684626Damn, that’s a cool older mare.
>>42676310Will you do one of Matte Finish please?https://files.catbox.moe/t7cgcn.png
Trying to decide if I should do international this year or not. Got an idea, but not sure if I trust the postal service with it.
>>42685083I've experienced that UPS is reliable for international shipping (with guaranteed latest arrival). But postal service should do well, but experienced they are a bit more loose on shipping time (but have been reliable too).
this year i plan on going bigger w my crochet gift as i have a bigger budget this year
69 more days !
>>42685390Nice!
>>42685390Nice
I wonder if my Waifu Frottage cottage will return for this year
>>42684616>httpsI know Wolvan runs a 24/7 internet radio service, it’s not hard to self host, it’s just pure http and I listen to it off of foobar2kNo need for a fancy website to cater to technologically illiterate users
>>42684626>Someone made my shitty drawing into a not shitty drawingAbsolutely making my day here.
Headed out on a fishing trip with folks today so ima be out of reception/very spotty reception here in a couple hours so probably won’t be sending any confirmation emails out today, or at least until pretty late tonight.
>>42685731I know, the reason for https here was that I was using cloudlfare tunnels to host the service running on a pi in my basement since I didn't feel like paying for a vps for the radio and wanted a proof of concept and more properly ask the thread going forward. Not to mention I'm a bug fan of listening to the radio during horsemas on my phone while out and about.In any case, i agree with you, anon, but that was my reason.The financial one was the i believe my heartwarming budget should, first and foremost, be used to spoilu Santee silly. Which will happen.
>>42684649>>42685731>Radio is getting far more posts than I expected/wantedWell, let's just dump all the info here. Neighborhood.fm is hosted on a website called Citrus 3 for ~$30 a month and has been since what, 2021? I'm too dumb/lazy/not at liberty to self host or set up anything like that. It's not as slick as horse radio, but the maintenance I have to put in is usually minimal. They just switched to icecast from shoutcast and needed to be re-set up on my end (which is why it was down). That's why the programming atm is just a random block til I get a day off. If y'all have any suggestions, requests, or criticisms please let me know! I try not to advertise since it's just a fun little gift for the thread that you can interact with or ignore at will; I get no kickbacks or anything. There's no (actual) ads, though there's a couple anons that always post in thread for some reason.Program-wise I'm going to do the Chompy greens, Santa's aquarium asmr, album list throughs, and thinking about artist spotlights that cover people who have done multiple songs for /ss/.>Albums?I've gone through and curated the songs posted each year and tried to make a CD length "album" to get the essence of that year's /ss/. Whether I've succeeded or failed is up to interpretation, but you can look at the raw files/albums at derpy.me/SSongs. Any songs that can't fit are put into that year's "bonus album".I've done that up through 2021, but '22-'24 are in the works.Any questions for me or slurs to call me?
>>42685963When you do eventually get one to change it from the random schedule is Santa’s aquarium still going to be Friday night at 11 central? I need to set my alarm.
you remembered to say 'dont make any poop jokes with my card please, i dont find nutella smeared inside a card funny at all' in your message to your cardees, right?
>>42686313I'm a Tamers fan I would find that hilarious
>>42686313I have a nut allergy
>>42686313>Saying no to free calories in the middle of the winter bulkNGMI
>>42686383Brownies are inbound to your location
My santa has yet to contact me, I think I've been grinched
>>42685963Well, if you ever wanna switch to a VPs with selfhosted stuff, I could help setting that up. Besides that feel free to setup some kinda donation thing, I think I'm not the only one that's taken a liking to the radio and have made it a Holliday season staple, I'd like to support the project however possible.
>>42678953>>42686383Hello there
>>42678953>>42686383>>42686602Who's the 4th Big GuyThere needs to be 4 (You)s
>>42675276If I'm going to have my gift delivered in care of another person do I put the "JOHN DOEC/O ROBERT SMITH" part in the name section on the google form or the street address line one?
>>42686747I’d say put your name or alias in the name field and then there’s a section labeled something like “do you have any additional comments for your Santa?” And that’s where you can put any extra formatting. (I’d go ahead and rewrite the entire address there formatted correctly just to be safe.)
>>42686747You are already doing great. Just put the name of your patsy into the name field, and then put the address of the post office in the address field.I can tell you are gonna be a great Santa! Keep up the good work!
How does the Bingo board look after last thread?
>>42686313Oh god I almost forgot about that.
>>42687649That was hilarious and so was that dude’s meltdown.
>>42687656We've had 2 meltdowns over scat implications over the last 8 years and frankly it's 2 more than I expected.
If anypony wants to send out some merch to their giftees, email me! I can do cutiemarks, zippos, whisky flasks, coasters, and thermoses!
>>42687735forgor pic
>>42687741Oooh, that’s neat! Depending on what my Santee likes I might hit you up
>>42684626I’d let her put me in cuffs if you know what I mean.
>>42687741Before I zoomed in this looked like banana slices.
>>42688174I thought the same thing. I love banana chips
>>42684353Yooo I saw her at Mare Fair! She's gorgeous.
>>42686602>>42686383>>42678953
>>42688392One of my proudest creations. She's a big bug.
K, I’m back but I’m sleepy and it’s late so I’ma chillax for a bit and hit the hay and I’ll clear the inbox and send any new confirmation emails tomorrow. Hope everypony had a good day today. I’m rooting for you guys.
>>42684776Yes!
>>42685390Can you believe it!
SS bumpo
>>42686161Yup! It'll be midnight EST, so 11pm CST.>>42686574Thanks for the offer! If my situation ever become such where self hosting makes sense, I'll hit you up.As far as donations I'm cagey about it. I'd like to keep it as a gift to the thread, but this is also like the fifth time I've been asked to make a link. So as a compromise, there is still a live donation link from when I was going through some financial issues last year. To my knowledge it's still listed in the public ally available places.Genuinely though, thanks to people that listen and contribute music to it! /SS/ means a lot to me and it's been an honor to have a platform to throw y'all onto!
>>42689418Cutie cutie cutie cutie cutie
>>42685390I'm thinking a grizzled old Sam Elliot cookie dragon with a wagon and a large wood stove he uses his flames to fuel
>Still no assignments given out/SS/ is ded
>>42691682We all already got our assignments, anon. Maybe Santa Pone just didn't want you to participate this year
>>42691713Oddsy already?
>>42689418HELL YEAH
>>42691713I can't wait for signups to close so I can loudly complain in the threads about being late and ignoring them when they try to help me signup for latecoomers.

I can't even remember.She's a daily carry, and she's got a broken wing to show it, but she's gone to two weddings, has been there as my first treasure of my waifu, and she's one of few, if not the only, Nightmare Moon that has actually stood on the moon (or at least a fragment of it)
Would it be shitty of me to host a giveaway but ask the recipient to pay for shipping? I'd love to make handmade crafts and other goodies and give them to various anons but this year is the most broke I've ever been
>>42693191a little bit, yeah
>>42693191Just say that the winner will have to pay for shipping.
Festive bump. Page nine is too moldy even for me
>Guess who just found out their favorite drink is back in stock
Remember to stock up on stamps if you need them for your cards!
>>42694290Its not back in stock, thoughWinter Spiced Cranberry isn't Sprite Cranberry. You will never be offered another one again.
>>42694477>I could have used pony stamps to send my pony mailTake me back...
>>42694482LET ME HAVE THIS ANON IT'S MY LIE TO LIVE
>>42694477There are horse stamps out this year I think
I had my favorite artist draw my oc this year! Look at her! She giddys up and gets greasy. The idea is she’s a nerdy country girl who’s into mechanics (fixes the family tractor etc)
>>42694993Very nice.
>>42694993UNFFFFFFF WORKING MARE WITH GLASSES SEXOOOO PURE SEXXXXXXXXXXX
>>42693191As long as the ones entering know and have an idea of how much it costs, it'll probably be fine.
>>42694993Cute greasy mare!
>>42694993built to get greasy with >>42659722
>Secret Santa on page 10 while the cheese sandwich thread keeps getting bumped Bah humbug bump
I lost access to my google accounts. I want to sign up again but the organizer insists on requiring a google account. Please disable this, I want to participate again.
>>42696946Uhh...can't you just make one specifically for this event? Google accounts are free, aren't they?
>>42685561Proper Package! It's good to see you!I've got a lot going on this year, so whether I'll sign up is a maybe, but I'll still be here in either case!
>>42680212Hey another mead brewer. Maybe wanna chat up after the event about my failed (and hopefully some successful) batches?
>>42685561>>42697043now kiss
>>42694509Wait are those real!
>>42694993Does she work on rally cars?
>>42696967i just assume hes either so retarded hell end up grinching someone inadvertently or hes just a dramafag trying to start shit
>>42697660I mean, there are some of questionable intelligence who participate. There was that one guy who didn't know how postage worked and wondered why all his cards kept getting sent back to him.
>>42697043My beloved
>>42697728
>>42697728Classic. It never gets old.
>>42695852
>>42698028My sides
>>42698028based lmao
>>42697481https://www.equestriadaily.com/2017/12/my-little-pony-postage-stamp-collection.htmlThis is what they took from you.
>>42698028Top quality. Kek
>>42697529everything except subaru’s
>>42677982my most prized pony possession is a luna plush i got from a friend last year. (not very unique i know but was glad to get a gift from my fren)
>>42698642Gay
>>42693121It's wonderful to see a well loved mare like that. Bless you, Anon
>>42693121Bless
>>42684626>>42689418>>42676310>>42678277>>42681659Thank you for your service
>>42685083It kinda looks like it’s going to be a rough year for shipping all around. I’m definitely staying domestic.
How much does postage cost to mail a letter from the US to another country?
>>42693121>she's one of few, if not the only, Nightmare Moon that has actually stood on the moon (or at least a fragment of it)I beg you pardon!?(also, knowing how few people have access to moon regolith, if you manage to make her trot on some or on a moon chunk, you can be assured that it's the only one fig in the world that have done so)
>>42699857If its just a letter and no other goodies its the cost of a Intl Stamp which is like $1.70.
I managed to sign up before Nightmare Night this year
>>42699895There's a moon rock on display for touching at KSCI had her stand on it
>>42699907>>42699895
>>42699907>>42699922Absolutely wonderful. You love to see it.
>>42694509You know I think I have a couple pony stamps somewhere. Someone sent them to me during a previous Secret Santa
>>42693121>she's one of few, if not the only, Nightmare Moon that has actually stood on the moon (or at least a fragment of it)why would you do that? isn't that making her relive her trauma!? jk that's very cool nonny thanks for sharing
>>42699922>mare basalt
Oh shoot we're live! Great to be back k for another year! This time I got the FDM Printer running and have been learning how to make some fun stuff, here's a test print for the Dice Tower I'm including for my santee.
>>42694509there are still some stamp being made but sadly, it's only collector stamps and not some you can buy in big quantities, they're pretty cute though
>>42699905You should've waited until it was too late so that you could complain like the guy from last year.
>>42700959Oooh neat. That’s a dope gift. (Just be sure to take your nametag off when you talk to your Santee now though, since you showed your gift with your nametag on now)
>>42675967If she's a drinker, can confirm.
>>42696967They are a bitch to make and barely work over a VPN. It's completely unnecessary to require this, just filter your shit.>>42697660Why would you assume all that because I don't want to use Google for shit I don't need to. Why did you get so defensive?
>>42702168Fuck. Well thank god that's just part 1 of the bonus gifts!
>>42699907I like how everyone was like: "Oh we can touch a moon rock here. Cool, I guess. Now let's put our ponies in there!"
It's finally here!Can't wait for the assignments to be sent out
>>42700852We have our people at NASA.
>>42702711Assignments went out already...Mail deadline is tomorrow...............
bonks head>>42702890
So what's everyone's budget looking like? Besides the homemade stuff I have on hand ready I'm thinking a $75 limit this year.
>>42702953Yes.The problem is it's hard to get anything neat in a month. Can't craft for shit and commissions take way too long.
>>42698405
>>42702953Mine is like 300 or so, I have some very exclusive trixie merch that I want to pass on to a trixie waifufreind. Nameless to keep the things secret.
SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT I MISSED THE FIRST FUCKING THREAD!!!!!!TIME TO GO AN HERO MYSELF!oh hey, a new captcha system
>>42702981True, so far I'm seeing /ss/ as a challenge for what I can get together in a month. It's surprisingly doable, short of LS plushies that is. unless you're a plushmancer and have zero commissions going on
>>42702953$75 for the stocking stuffer maybe.I'm going $200 minimum just like I did last year.
I never know what to put for my gifts. Just get me sone trinkets, plushes, and pins abd you'll be golden.
>>42702953>>42703131$75?$200?Do you hate your santee already or something? Mine is getting 3 lifesizes in a Ferrari with a custom wrap of his waifu.
>>42699727What makes you say that? Is it the tariff stuff, or is there more going on?>>42703104Tixie you say?
>>42702953Broke as fuck. Gonna be hand making everything with the materials I have on hand and I’ll have just enough to cover domestic shipping.
I love it when you guys do this.
If I get this job after my interview then hopefully I can sign up before the 31st and get ((you)) some pony.Celestia and Luna bless myself.Has anyone here done filly focused cards?
>>42702953Maybe 200€, If I can control myself. My biggest issue though isn't budget but having new ideas. Maybe I'll buy another whole length of fabric just to make a single chibi plush out of it...
>>42703420Wish you all the best for the interview. You got this. I believe in you.
>>42702953I'll try not to go over $150, not counting the handmade stuff. But I usually end up overinvesting in gifts, especially if my santee has good taste in mares. Plus, I found an artist who makes these really cute tiny knitted ponies, and I want to order a bunch to go with the cards.But I'm worried about the shipping costs, last year it was almost $500...
>>42703420not a filly cards but an anon filly letter for the cards!
bump for eqg slideniggers trying to slide shit
>>42703420Good luck mate!>>42703220Yeah mostly just the tariff stuff.
>>42703177Personally I was going to give my santee both Ponies: The Galloping sets.
This will be my first year participating. In the past, have there been issues with anons not respecting another anon's preference for no lewd?
>>42704008Personally I've never had a problem. The lewd stuff is usually funny as fuck so I've opted in the last few years. >not having an unnatural obsession with mare cock and horse pussy is pretty gay.
>>42704122As long as she has a vag, a marecock is a bonus feature
>>42703420Good luck and godspeed, Anon.>>42698028Kek. Expect to see more Sowbelly Shampoo this season.>>42702953>budgetI'll only do raffles this year/10>>42704008There has been an incident of a highly autistic Santa ignoring their Santee's preference the other year, but it's generally respected.
>>42704122Are people going to be weird if I say that I want to have foalmaking sex with Cozy Glow and that foalcon is based?>>42704205I must've missed that. What happened with the autistic santa?
>>42702953100 not counting shipping.
>>42702953Whatever I feel like. I think I spend on average $500+ on secret santa due to the giveaways I do as well as the main gift.
Quick post of my idea for an a4 letter back for sending out.
>>42702953Mine is 50$ + all shipping unfortunately though i will compensate with a few more custom things.Got lucky to have a lot of mlp cards as fillers worst case!
>>42704302>>42704389>>42703505Those arent bad at all. Its good to see anons out there doing more than the bare minimum.
>>42704355>a4The most normie letter size. Real chads use A7.t. A7Chad
>>42702953You lot have a budget? I just get stuff until it looks like enough.
Unsure if I can afford to do this this year Anons...
Digging this old name out of the rubbish bin to use, First time Secret Santa participant, looking forward to it.
>>42704435>Dixie Normousdrawfags, you know what to do
>>42704205>>42704262It was a card, and the sender mixed up the envelope contents so someone got unsolicited porn.
Will probably sign up next weekend, this will be my first time participating.>>42702953Not really sure where I should expect to end up, could see this being anywhere from like 50 to 200$, depending on the wish list I get and how well I can get stuff accordingly. I've mostly planned on some handmade stuff. Though the schedule kinda poorly lines up with some external factors and I may not be able to complete something for a specific character until the end of the shipping window. Might have to make a main gift and then send something of my santees favorite pony separately.If nothing goes wrong I should have three characters prepared well in time though, best case my santee waifus one of those.>>42704122I'm split between selecting "Suggestive is okay" and going fuck it and just allowing all to see what happens.
>>42704564If this is your first time Pony Claus usually gives you a name to use, by the way. Though you might be able to ask to use your own in the sign up form.>>42704663You can put in the "message to pony clause" part what ponies you have stuff for so you can get matched with someone who likes them if it makes it easier for you.
>>42704694Ah duly noted
Are any of the anons going to make new Secret Santa pony songs? Snuggle Up was my favorite one
>>42704775I was thinking about making one, havent come across inspiration yet, but I do have free space in my mind now that I finished writing (but not singing) a parody I wrote up for Mare Fair
I have decided I will be a snowpone this yearA mockup with the colors and general design I've opted forWith a name like this I should probably give her a bit of flare...
There's a pony con near my location in a few days, but since I don't have my santee yet, I don't know which mare is his favorite. Any suggestions to buy?
>>42704823Excellent. We need more snowponers
>>42704910its meim ur santeei like all the maresbye one of everything
>>42697728Better than the bitch who killed her kittens
>>42704823We need more mares with flares
>>42704910$5000 life size plush of cheerilee with extra horse pussy
>>42705062Excuse me?
>>33370572Hey is it too late to submit a recording of me singing for this project?
>>42705062>The Kitten Kerfuffle™ has been mentionedMark off the bingo card anons!
>>42705062my brain says I dont want to knowbut the I dont want to know says it wants to know anyway to stay safe from some maliciously retarded idiot
>>42705202All I remember about it was that it was some sort of Discord drama that really shouldn't have appeared on the board, but some decided to drag it here. I might be wrong about it though.
either im retarded or anonfilly.com is dedi was on the FAQ page earlier but now I cant sign up
>>42705231of course it works the second i post this
>>42705243lol what a loser
>>42704558Can always opt in for card only. It's what I did 2 years ago
Well, unfortunately renamed Santa reporting for duty! I am committed to loving this name…somehow…
>>42705209Yeah, that's basically it.>>42705202I was there when it happened, and it isn't anything to worry about. The drama was exaggerated by the fuckwit who dragged it here and it has nothing to do with the secret santa itself.
>>42705391Well what do we do with the other ear, fry it?
to QUARTZ CLUSTERCould you double check the email on your signup; I'm getting an undeliverable error when I try to send the confirmation email. Thanks, mate!
>>42704910Pick a reasonably popular mare at random and then in your notes to pony Claus say that you already got stuff with that mare in mind and could they please pair you with an anon who waifus them. Just don’t go all in on an obscure mare beforehand in case nobody in your region waifus them.
>>42702953I would say 75-125 pre shipping.
>>42697529>>42698642I'll insert myself a little and say that she would work on a WRX.I sort of want to figure out more of her story, like what she does outside of her helping out with the farm. I was thinking of a bunch of geek hobbies but nothing has been sticking so far.
>>42704472*noted* doing a back flip right now.
>>42677982Well, it's a little late for the draw, but pic related is choosing among all 14 entries describing their own slice of pone! Which means... Milk & Cookies and Matte Finish, you guys win the giveaway! And thanks to everyone who entered -- I enjoyed all of them, even the cursed skibidi Fluttershy. Congratulations to the winners, please send your dox to poniponiponi@horsefucker.org so I can mail your packages.
I got around to drawing my ID :)
>>42706039Cuuuuuuute
>>42702953Can't really tell, that highly depends on my santee's wishlist and what I come up with.Budget should be around $250-300 shipping included. Of course, like any good budget, it is meant to be ingnores and will vary based on one simple factor: "yeah but the dude's wishlist is kinda cool, and this looks sick, it's going in!"
>>42706039Badland Bells is a baddie for sure.
>>42705753>Just don’t go all in on an obscure mareHonestly getting stuff for a really obscure background mare who I wouldn't be expecting sounds quite funny.Might add a note like "If you want to surprise me with some obscure background pony, go for it"
>trying to think of a song to parody for the bingo board>somehow come up with what I think is my own tune and lyrics>its a villain song for a santa overly obsessed with his santee's approvalLooks like I need to learn how to work one of those music progams
>>42702264I do love me some beer and root beer. The latter, sadly, isn't really available where I live since fuck you I ain't paying $5 a can like it is in the foreign goods section.
Assaass Ass clearly has a big fetish for ear rubbing
>>42706629Really? I figured root beer was kind of a ubiquitous soda flavor? Learn something new every time I do this event.
>>42706039she's a cutie!!
>>42706629I took the liberty of designing you an OC since mine has already been made by an anon, kek
>>42706629Well, could always make your own root beer:https://www.seriouseats.com/diy-root-beer-how-to-brew-your-own-root-beer-recipe
>>42706956Ubiquitous for the US, I think
>>42707027Cutee! I have never seen a sassafras so I don't know how fitting it is but she is adorable!
Fresh with a name from Pony Claus, I properly make my presence known. Hi all. Gonna enjoy doing my first Secret Santa
Cant wait to be drunk for the next few months!
>Kiwi only posted early in the first third>Card Slut is MIAIt better not be a murder-suicide to make Pony Claus do all the work.
>shafted on present and cards last year>card recipient never postedHopefully this year will be just as fun as the last, because making the present is the best part of all this to me :)
i managed not to yeet myself into a ravine somewhere in tennessee so i have returned
>>42706629Root beer is my favorite soda flavor. I would be so sad if it was that expensive to buy.
>>42707510Another Big name
>>42708811Glad to hear it!
>>42708811I'm moving to Tennessee at the end of this month.
>>42703126Just do what I do. Keep a plushmancer in your basement for /ss/
>>42708811you're a dracony, just fly if you fall off a ledge
>>42705065An Anon with taste I see
>>42703171Honestly, same, there's not really a lot of merch of my favorite mare.
>>42707510welcome to the big league
>not signed up yetI've been skipping this for a few year. Formerly known as Mustang Purple. Lots have changed and I might be back for some epic woodburning and 3D printing.Hi Everypony ! It's good to be back.
>>42709863>Mustang PurpleWas wondering why I hadn't seen you in the /ss/ for a while. Good to see you back, faguette. At the very least, stick around to call others faggots throughout the holiday.
>>42709870Been meeting a few anons at a con a heard someone talking about the "Crazy French doing epic woodburning". We had quite laugh about and well, that Anon sparked it up again. Rest assured I will try not to ship in the next summer this time.
>>42709885noice, so I managed to get you to make more shid? kek
Is it a bad idea to say I like foalcon on the signup form? On the one hoof if my Santa wants to send me something lewd I'd really like it to be something foalcon related. On the other, if they're some kind of schizo they'll have my real address on there.Am I being retarded or a pussy?
>>42710146Can't speak for everyone, but I thought about what I'd do if I get something like this in my assignment, as I am really not compfortable with that stuff for obvious reasons. Most likely I'd just end up pretending I didn't read that part and never acknowledge it again. Worst case I might end up sending overall less stuff then I'd send if that comment hadn't been there.
>>42710146I did this when I signed up but it's also my first time. I figure the worst thing that can happen is they give Databyte another reason to keep me on his list kek tell me to fuck off or ignore entirely.Wishing you a happy foalmas. Maybe we'll get paired together ^^
>>42675276I always want to join but have anxiety over both having to get/make a gift, and then ship it.
>>42710146>>42710265Oh, and I also put things that pointedly -weren't- foalcon in case one of >>42710264 these anons ends up with it. Hoping that if it falls in the hands of someone not interested, they can be a mature adult about it.
>>42710282Yeah, it's deep on my list. I don't really care that much about it but if my Santa can't do anything I'd listed before that point or they want to give me a NSFW gift, they'll know what I like along with other stuff.I like to make my wishlist thorough.
>>42710146Where you my card from last year who wanted Silver Spoon?
>>42710409I don't believe so.
>>42710146That's something I wouldn't put anywhere near my real name in [current_year].
>>42710146Probably the same as >>42710264 I might also send you a card with a foal / filly disapproving of your fetish choice.
>>42710146Don't worry anon, I'd send you lewd filly images.
>>42710146I'm not into foals whatsoever but I've sent a gift with em before. I'd probably do it again. You'll be fine, anon.If someone's a pussy about it they'll probably end up on the grinch list, anyway
yay secrete santa im so happy to be back everypony
>>42711012>i dont want foalcon>grincheddamn it really be like that huh
>>42709644Big honouer
>>42711012incredibly fucking based
>>42708919Nice! Tons of lovely roads in the state, it's just like my home area but... more. The mountains are higher, the roads are twistier, that kind of thing. Oh and the gas is cheaper :'(>>42711012>Ages 9+jej
>>42710281I felt and on some level still feel the anxiety but I decided to push through and join in the fun.
>>42711402I am also a Tennesseean!
Was not very enthusiastic about namefagging but this name is cool
>>42711529Is cowpunching a hate crime in Equestria?
>>42711529
>>42711012How the hell did you even get that printed? kek. Or did you print it yourself?
I'm a dunce and completely forgot to check my email for my new holiday id until today. Holiday Howdy definitely needs to be some sort of cowpony.
>>42711012This is amazing lmao
>>42710146I would act the same as if I saw Aryanne or other incindiary things. Act like I never read it, go for a different pony, and hope you lose your cosmically shit taste.
>>42711599
>>42711804Yeah I understand it if people don't want to go for it or they think I'm a loser for liking it.I'm just hoping I don't get harassed for having it on there at all. I might rent a PO box or something just to play it safe.>>42710509A card with a foal telling me off would be really funny and would be really awesome to get. I like to save all of the cards I get from this event.
>>42711734Shutterfly does not give the slightest fuck. As long as it's not illegal they print whatever.
