>>42729123>>42729137I can also see it fine on mine
>>42729076>Realistically, she would have a higher concentration of sweat on her backYou don't know anything about horses, do you? Sweat runs down her sides and accumulates on her belly. That's exactly where she stuck her tail a couple of times during the game.>Also, now that I look at it again, the perspective of the tail is weird.It looks fine to me, I'm not an artist. By the way, such mistakes are quite human, since many artists make similar ones.>ball have these two random lines and nothing elsePerhaps the artist was simply lazy and didn't want to spend time detailing the ball? After all, the pony is the most prominent part of the picture that people focus on.
why can I not vote for Cadance in the best princess competition?
>>42729173Nobody nominated her.
>>42729167I'm tired of this autism. It's literally tagged as AI on the booru he took it from.https://twibooru.org/3424159
>>42729173Previous winners of Mini-Brackets are barred from entering again, and Cadance won the inaugural Best Princess in 2023.Of the four returning Mini-Brackets this year, past winners include:>Best Background PonyDerpy Hooves (2023)Minuette (2024)>Best OCSergeant Reckless (2023)Frosty Flakes (2024)>Best MILFWindy Whistles (2023)Twilight Velvet (2024)>Best PrincessPrincess Cadance (2023)
never heard of most of these OCs
>>42729187Nevermind I suck cocks.
What is the answer to the last question?
>>42729113>making me choose between Lucky Roll and Lyra on the first roundfucking evil fuck you
>>42729200sharty hack aftermath
Green Tea is not a background pony, it's an OC.
>>42729201you know who to choose
Lucky Roll and Mayor Mare got robbed by rng
>>42729210That's right, gotta pick best horsie.
>>42729189I knew it from the very beginning. I just wanted you to admit that you simply checked the tags on twibooru. You didn't realise it was AI just by looking at it, you needed to check.
>>42729204Noted, not sure if that was a mistake on the anon's suggestion or mine but I moved her from Best Background Pony to Best OC listing.
>>42729113>using google in 2025cryptpad is free
>>42729194>Of the four returning Mini-Brackets this year, past winners includeThe same fucking shit every year. Why don't people want to try something new?
>>42729216>You didn't realise it was AI just by looking at itI most certainly did.
>>42729223Why did you go on twibooru then? Weren't you so sure?
>>42729225NTA but he clearly did it to end the argument, you silly filly. So stop arguing about it and talk about ponies.
Vote Lyra!
>>42729228See >>42729221I can do both.
>>42729221Because we are autists? We don't like change. Most of this board would like to pretend it's 2011 forever. That's why shit like Nyx has an inherent advantage here simply because she was around in 2011. It doesn't matter if your OC is better, if she wasn't around in 2011 she's considered shit.
>>42729210Yeah, I choose Lucky Roll.
>>42729113its not miss /mlp/ unless half the r1s are heavy hitters clashing and the other half are literal whos
if you vote for Anonfilly instead of Spitfire then you're a FAGGOT
fuck
>>42729236voted Anonfilly just to spite you
>>42729201Lyra is the better choice, but I'm voting Lucky Roll because she's hot and Lyra is more likely to win
It's HER year.
>>42729248Batponies will never win so long as Celestia protects us.
What the hell is Rare?Looks like a scared Rarity
>>42729252Celestia can't even get to the semi's anymore. Lucky's year.
Do not be deceived by the cute poni. "Wallflower Blush" is not an OC or a background pony, she's this ayy lmao bitch. Voting for her is voting for the EQG trannies.
>>42729258She's still cute though so I'm voting for her
Do you like Piña Colada?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JVdywd07i4
>>42729236It's time for Spitfire to give Anonfilly some HARD discipline!
>>42729248Lyra honestly deserves to win just cause I think she can stop a mane 6 from winning
>>42729236i voted for anon filly so quickly i didn't even notice spitfire was her competition. i don't care either.
>>42729270I feel like we're past mane six victories, the only one that has a shot is Rarity and I feel like there's enough people who will spite-vote against her if it comes to it.
>>42729270Just vote against the M6. Rarity obviously isn't winning.
>>42729229>>42729270>LyraMeme horse
>Mare Fair vs Conschizo
>>42729282usually dont vote on OCs, but no way i was gonna vote for strawberry
>>42729277Imagining Rarity losing in the finals is just too funny
Lyra would be a more boring winner than Derpy somehow
>>42729297It's okay, everyone knows Bon Bon's the real one that's going to win.
>>42729291Muddy orange hooves typed this post.
>>42729246Lyra is hotter.
Spite vote all mane 6
>>42729270>>42729277>muh m6Spite vote all backgroundfags
>>42729113why did that twi "variant" got in again?
>>42729305sorry, didnt have time to wash up after pullin' up some strawberry bushes
>>42729277Pinkie could win too.
Poor Fun Raiser is going to get obliterated

>>42729344holy mareschizo
I see Pies I vote for Pies simple as
>>42729344Should've nominated them!>>42729347I prefer cakes honestly.
its too hard bros...
>>42729327>plays a ribcage like a xylophone >>42729344Some of those mares are literally in there and if there are any missing it's your own damn fault for not nominating them.
>>42729344All these background ponies have 0 characterization. They're just soulless dolls without a soul. You just love the wrapper.
>>42729218>not sure if that was a mistake on the anon's suggestion or mineIt was me
>>42729344This post made me bust out laughing
>>42729358You have zero characterization faggot
>>42729353Yeah that was the hardest one. I went with Cherry Berry because I love the hot air balloon lore, it's so fucking cool.
>>42729353I voted for Junebug because Cherry Berry is more popular so I figured everyone would vote for her anyway.
>>42729355>Some of those mares are literally in therewho
>>42729353It's not fair. I love them both so much. Cherry Berry has my vote though. Cute little earth mare that wants to fly so bad.
>>42729302I would unironically enjoy this turn of events
Your Goddess could have some Strawberry for dinner right now.
>>42729335And yet you just had to have her with a helmet and glasses
>>42729358EVERY MARE HAS SOULFUCK YOU
>>42729367You have zero knowledge about this character, you just like her design. You love with your eyes, not with your heart.
>>42729371I'm not sorting through all that. White Lightning though
>>42729370I also went with junebug after thinking it through thoroughly, she just looks better
The voting for all those "best literal who" brackets is kinda pointless since I don't remember what half of those mares look like
>>42729392She schlorp.Me vote.
>>42729388I didn't know we were dealing with the gatekeeper of snowpity over here. What dictates what knowledge you need to love a mare?
>>42729391Okay fair but the rest still stand
>>42729388She's a mare and that says a lot about who she is and how she behaves already. She has a fruit cutie mark and likes to stack on other mares and make pie to throw at buffalo. AND SHE HAS A NICE HAT
>>42729397uhhh normie alert......
>>42729370>>42729392You made her mad. Good job.
>>42729263You know what would look real cute? You leaving this board. Go back to your Facebook pages and your WhatsApp groups, we don't want your kind here
Remember to vote against ANY Twilight variant. I don't care if her opponent is an OC or a Barbie, I want these Twiniggers gone.
>falseflagging already
>>42729113Sunshower, not flower!
Golly, some of you are getting really angry about cute ponies. Have you considered having fun instead?
>>42729411Flutterbro has PTSD.
>>42729405Tell me the difference between Pacific Glow and Sweet Biscuit RIGHT FUCKING NOW without looking it up
>>42729420That's a bad example because Pacific Glow is a raver druggie, which clearly gives her something unique.
>>42729420>pacific glowdancing pony>sweet biscuit puke ponyyeah im probably autistic, but im not a normie
>>42729420One is cute dancer mare and the other is cute cookie mare and I love bothNext?
>>42729399Her character, what she likes, what she dislikes. I want to love a character with all my heart, and not just because of their design.
>>42729406she was already mad
>>42729429Because she doesn't have wings. Maybe she can trade with Fluttershy.
>>42729404What about her family situation? Maybe she already has foals? Oh, you don't know? That's sad.
>>42729415It's about to be "Roadkill", so who cares?
>>42729201Batsloppers this is your mindset.
>>42729411See this is a falseflag because flutterfags weren't actually mad when they lost in 2023
>>42729425>>42729420>Pacific Glow and Sweet BiscuitThese are extremely common entry-level background mares. Not even remotely obscure.
>>42729438
>>42729411I wouldn't talk shit if I were you, you know? Fluttershy hasn't won yet.
>>42729446She looks like a deer in headlights. Fitting.
>>42729436>What about her family situation?There are approximately twenty ponies in the whole show you can answer this question for, and that's a high estimate.

Who we votan /mlp/???
>>42729456Pacific Glow and Sweet Biscuit
>>42729456I voted for ponies. Except for that one plant, I voted for her too.
>>42729456Fillies
>>42729456whatever your heart tells you
>>42729456Canon G4 mares.
>>42729113i can't believe Queen Opaline Arcana didn't get through nominations AGAINStarting to feel like she has no chance of winning this
>>42729468This, but also Nyx
>>42729451The show has many ponies who are not married. Definitely more than 20.
>>42729472Almost every adult character other than the Mane Six and the princesses could be in a relationship, could be married, could have a kid. You can assume they're not but there's no evidence in either direction.
>>42729456the chudmare
>>42729456>Connoisseurs chooses chuds>Coomers choose cheerleadersThe things one mare has to do for a vote, and the first round even.>captcha WHAK
>>42729484You would only be thinking about the stallions though
>>42729507???
>>42729468Just voted for Sunset Shimmer, the cute canon pony who appears in the G4 episode "The Last Problem".
>>42729520I wonder what her backstory is. She has such a detailed design, you have to assume someone on the team really loved her even if she's a background pony.
>>42729497I love this mareIt sucks she will be voted out just because she's G%
>>42729532
>>42729428>>42729436>>42729484You talk about characterization like its a rulebook, a little list of facts written on paper, but you miss the WHOLE POINT of loving these background mares that haven't had the opportunity to have the spotlight. To say they have no soul is to be BLIND to the potential we see! You want shallow bios and ask "What about her family situation ohhhh does she have foals???" but thats exactly what makes your kind of love so WEAKWe ARE the heart that gives them their soul! We do not just love with our eyes, we love with our LOVE and PASSION for mares. Every flicker of Minty Breeze's mane, every silent action from Quiet Gestures, hugging Dee Six after winning a croquet game! Putting the veil saddle on Drizzle or trying new perfumes with Perfume Hearts! Trying new flavors of tea with Cocoa Caliente that still remind of her of what she does best! Chatting with Dawnlighter or Night View after their friendship class! Our love is an energy that lets us love these mares, and we have the blessing of them being able to be our own muses with overwhelming adoration, we have the opportunity to fill these mares with character, with dreams, with a future! Your love is static, limited to what someone else other than you dictates, you cuck yourself having to depend on something made not weaved by your own love, but our love is INFINITE and unravels the beautiful mystery that lets us see our own best selves reflected in their brilliant coats!TO SAY YOU CANT LOVE THESE MARES IS SACRILEGE TO SNOWPITY
>>42729500But what if I vote for Posey against S9 mares and Cheerilee against TFH?
>>42729386No fuck YOU! Look at this, perfectly encompasses you faggets. It's the same pony just a different eye color. They're both a waste of space nothing
>>42729545>We ARE the heart that gives them their soul!In other words, you love the image you have created in your head, rather than the actual character.
>>42729552I voted for Light Stream because she has a prettier picture but truth be told I don't know anything about either of them
Which way, /mlp/?
>>42729552We already had trouble filling the smaller tournament with worthwhile ponies tbdesu. 256 is going to be a slog.
>>42729344I was surprised Redheart wasn't in
>open link>vote for all Kino Life reps>vote for all rapists
>>42729559Theres' nothing to know, that's the entire point. They're nothing-wrappers the fandom didn't do anything with. for FIFTEEN YEARS. And you niggers think it's worth a bracket? You could pick from a random derpi oc and get more personality
>>42729565She wade Top 4 last year so she's ineligible this year NEWFAG
>>42729565Barred because she placed 4th last year. Same with Marble being 3rd, and Trixie being 2nd.
>>42729565She's banned for castrating Anons without a license.
>>42729470Opaline has no real fans. People just use her as a proxy to express their hatred for S8-9 and Haber. She has no substance behind "she btfo le creaturequestria". Her design isn't doing her any favors, either.
>>42729567Calm down, sperg. It's not that serious.
>>42729470Trying to find a G% fan on /mlp/ is like trying to find a black person at a hockey game. Thew few that do exist are batting for Posey.
>>42729456Paddlefilly, look how cool she is
>>42729420Sweet biscuit is my little puke mare and pacific is cute rave mare dude. Watch the show
>>42729582I'm convinced.
>>42729564Or you could just get better taste than season1 recycled assets. Lily also looks like Sunflower.
>>42729589I was agreeing with you. Are you slow?
>>42729456Yo he votado por las versiones humanas de las yeguas.
>>42729456Piña Colada.
>The dead vs the dead
>>42729545>We ARE the heart that gives them their soulSo it's fine if I headcanon them all as turning into big-balled dickmares every night right
>>42729545>wall of text asspatting yourself. >We ARE the heart that gives them their soul! We do not just love with our eyes, we love with our LOVE and PASSION for mares. >Twinkleshine: errrrm she has bow autism because of ONE time she was carrying a bow
>>42729552Should've been the finals, it's a shame random seeding made this banger happen in round 1.
>>42729253
>>42729609Yeah, that would be so weird, ha ha.
>>42729556Characters can be handed down by writers or designers or whoever else. Your core assertion is that by focusing on non canon, fan created narratives, we are loving an "image we created" rather than the "actual character," suggesting this love is fundamentally misplaced or delusional. You define the actual character as the limited collection of facts, the few lines of dialogue, the brief on-screen action, or the simple name given by the show writersThe documented character you want to falsely characterize only provides a vessel. The emotional investment, and the very core of love for mares occurs in the interpretation of that vessel. We are not loving the empty space, we are loving the boundless potential that the show and designers generously left for us to fill.>>42729604Yes.>>42729614>Twinkleshine: errrrm she has bow autism because of ONE time she was carrying a bowYes.
>>42729556DYEWTW?
>>42729630You are rot, everything that Faust would fight against. You invented nothing, you have no imagination. Just a game of telephone in a circlejerk. The countless nothing ponies in the bracket says enough
literally this one fag always has a melty over background ponies and gets btfo for years but won't stop.
>>42729638Lauren Faust learned to love ponies because she sat at home with her silly pony toys and came up with personalities for them based on nonsense like their cutie mark and their mane and tail. That is what My Little Pony was for the vast majority of people. You're just angry right now and trying to justify your anger, but you can just say that you hate the people you talk to on this board. It doesn't have to be more complicated than that.
>>42729638>"everything that Faust would fight against">making our own characters and imagination out of these mares>when Faust did the same thing and that's how Friendship is Magic started
>>42729650Bow autism does not add to Twinkleshines character, it just makes more bow autism. I am angry because nu /mlp/'s background '''''''content'''''''' is nothing but a game of human centipede. You ruin any chance of actual character because of your mental retardation, over and over.
>>42729598>have to vote against Applejack because nohoovesYet another reason to hate taconiggers
>>42729654>A rainbow in Rainbow Dash's mane doesnt make her gay, that would be too shallowWorthless cretins like you will never get it. You're born subhuman.
>>42729663>>42729656This is a pretty asinine hill to die on. Watch the show next time
>>42729338Unless she's so efficient, no pony gets away...
>>42729552One is a bug enthusiast, especially ladybug variantsThe other is a laser fanatic and loves to play with its effectsApply yourself nigger, it's like you don't know any mares
>>42729656>Bow autism does not add to Twinkleshines character, it just makes more bow autism.>Retard autism does not add to Derpy's character, it just makes more retard autism.>Human autism does not add to Lyra's character, it just makes more human autism.>Teeth autism doesn't add to Colgate's character, it just makes more teeth autism.Listen man, if you don't like one-note fan interpretations go out and write a story that people like. People did for all the characters I mentioned, you can too.
>>42729670>Jack off on how creative you are>believe you're following in Faust's footsteps>Actually you're everything she hated>uhhh Creativity is asinine hill to die on, let's just be shallow faggots!
the threads will pick up after the first round ends, right..?
>>42729685Just you wait.We're yet to hit peak shitposting
>>42729660Hey, if falseflagging as barbiefags works, maybe I should give it a try...
>>42729676Spamming bow art does not make a character, nigger.
>>42729562I'M A FAG FOR HAG
>>42729456Starlight Glimmer of course
>>42729690Spamming retard art does not make a character.
>>42729685Not quite because the bracket of 256 ensures that a ton of background ponies will still be left by next round (which would normally be round 1), so more arguing over them.Bracket of 256 is a good idea and I admire PageantAnon's effort, but I wish the /co/ or /v/ tournament hosts implemented it, since in those there's actual tons of characters that struggle to qualify every year but could be winner material. Here it's effectively putting more round 1 fodder into the bracket.
>>42729411We have an extra round now... Are we gonna get even more falseflagging?
>>42729695Derpy was already retarded the second the name took. Derp eyes and being dumb herp derp. I shouldn't have to explain this to you, but I'm talking to a nu/mlp/ creature who thinks smacking their head against the wall is peak.
i voted for sci twi, moondancer, and wallflower blush
Since we already have Derpy as the cute 'tard one, can we make another a Jeffy tier 'tard? Who should it be?

How much longer until applefags and twifags start arguing about which of them is more obnoxious? That’s one of my favorite traditions.
>>42729716Lyra's pose was unique to her to be memed . There is nothing unique about a pony carrying something by mouth, and nu/mlp backgrounders are collectively brain damaged. >Bows being carried around where bows are>Whoa... we NEED to make this the single point about her!
>>42729731After Anni.

>>42729741Cherry Berry raking... I will now force meme her as loving to rake dirt.
it's been a good run grapists. one day she will become a meme. inshallah
>>42729751She is going to grape the Princess.
>>42729749I bet you would. In the next scene, bonbon is watering a can. OMG she's holding it with her mouth! We need to draw this and meme it over and over. Bon bon is the water carrying mare!That's what you sound like, infact, thats what you are. Thank god the old /mlp/ got to her first before your fucking retarded 1 braincell ideas
>>42729721She's my favorite siren but you're going to get fisted by her regardless
>>42729716>>42729732To be fair, anthropology and dentistry are not nearly as bad as just "bows" as far as interests go, you can come up with a lot more things for those two
>>42729755>arbitrarily deciding that a pony likes bows despite her having nothing to do with bows because there's a shot where she's helping decorate and she's holding a bowRetarded one-note nu/mlp/ shlock.>arbitrarily deciding that a pony is a dentist despite her having nothing to do with dentistry because some people joked that her mane looked like toothpaste and there wasn't anything else interesting about her, unlike lyra who got the same jokes but avoided that characterization because of human memesThank god the old /mlp/ got to her first.
>>42729748She was already canonically the retard pony in S1 because she messed up her anvil delivery. That was an intentional joke and not an error.
>>42729767Yeah obviously, I don't care for Twinkleshine's characterization either. That shit's dumb as hell. The normal reaction is to say 'this is dumb as hell' like you and I are doing.
Vote for my girl Twilight. She's one of my top bitches.
>>42729773That was over halfway into the season and had her with retard eyes because it was a response to the fanbase declaring her the retard. How fucking new are you?
this is one of the stupidest things ive seen an anon argue over and ive been using this board for a decade
>>42729755Bon Bon is now a water type Pokemare.
>>42729782How long does it take to produce an episode? I always thought all the S1 episodes had already been produced by the time it was airing.
>>42729770This unironically
>>42729770Minutte's mane looks like toothpaste, and the hourglass is workable into dentistry as brush timeUnlike 3 stars and bows which have no relation and are just retarded concepts forced by nu/mlp/
>>42729749She just fucking hates Canada
>>42729755>Unc is mad that Cherry Berry enjoys raking after a nice hot air balloon ride
>>42729789Writing finishes first, then voice acting, then animation is the last thing to be completed before an episode airs. The amount of time before varies, AFAIK they were about 10 episodes ahead of airing which is why they starting responding to the fan buzz when they did.
>>42729789Keeping the eye to be offset is the only thing fans had any influence over. He's delusional if he thinks writers and animators did anything based on feedback in s1 more than the order to keep the eyes derped which is a 5 second thing you can do in flash.
>>42729779It's my chad, Dipper Pines! He's come to bless this tournament with his cock too!
>>42729798Twinkleshine loves bows because she likes making things twinkly and pretty, she's like a budget Rarity. There we go, she now has the exact same level of character detail and logic as Colgate and you're not allowed to complain about her anymore.
>made a "Draw Twinkleshine /mlp/" thread with the bow screencap in like 2022>bow related Twinkleshine imagery is drawn in said thread>years later some autist is having a shitfit over bows
>>42729751I just saw 200 Sugar Grape votes fly over my house! And I just saw 200 Anons pants hit the floor...
>>42729812I'm pretty sure they said they originally had a different pegasus for that shot and they then swapped her out for Derpy.
>>42729598Pretty funny, but you know as well as I do that latinxs are 100% fillyfags
>>42729822True, EQGfags are all SEA.
>>42729815Dogshit., The bow wasn't even anything unique to her you absolute retard. There are bows around the whole scene, and more than one beautifying the area for Celest's visit. DYEWTS?
>>42729813Look look look, he brought his whole gang of BVLLs too! I like Steven because he's also pink and cheery and he has a nice ass!
>>42729779>>42729813
>>42729823You also know pretty well that SEAfags don't care for EQG, you know who really cares for EQG. and it is the japanese, the chinese, and then Europe/US. Fanart output and polls show that, the only thing SEAfags are known for is being weirdly into Aryanne
>>42729831>somehow Mordecai still gets cucked>somehow it's Dipper still doing the cucking
>>42729820Flash assets don't take any effort to switch out, that's the whole point of the medium. They wanted to reuse assets and they did. Derpy wasn't the exclusive Pegasus to the fuck up, unlike later in the show.
>>42729415Think it updated
>>42729837Oh hey, it's Roadkill there too!
>>42729802Hating your northern neighbor is a patriotic duty no matter where you're from.
>>42729842>Cherry Berry is a burgerNew background pony lore just dropped.
>>42729816>The pic in the pageant is literally bow autismCongrats you've found the problem with incestual /mlp/ circlejerking only circulating in your own rancid shit.
>>42729837It doesn't, but it was an explicit decision to say 'oh, the fans have this retard pony they love, let's put her in this scene where we already have a pegasus fucking up'. Derpy was not a mess-up pony until the fans created her as a one-note retard pony, then later they added depth like her having a kid and so on.
>>42729852On that note remember to vote for Dinky, anons! It's hard having a single mother, the other foals pick on her for it.
>>42729837>those two mares in the back were hauling a bunch of anvils around despite being pegasiHoly fuck!! They're strong!!
>Sunset up against a filly Round 1 againIt's three years in a row now. First Diamond Tiara then Noi now ErroriaWhy does she keep getting pitted against fillies it's starting to get uncomfortable
>>42729851>thin piece of pink fabric responsible for incoherent rageIncredible
>>42729852TV syndication has to have all the ducks in the row, you're dreaming if you think episode 15 wasn't done in production already.
>>42729857Yeah, the really lucky fillies get to have more than one mother.
>>42729825You began this argument by saying that the problem was that fans are arbitrarily choosing traits for characters which destroys any opportunity for real characterization. Then when I pointed out that the original fan favorites were that too and you decided to tighten the scope until it's now 'a pony can have a single arbitrary character trait that has nothing to do with the designer's intent for their character but it has to be either an injoke about their character design OR a thing they did in the show but it has to be unique enough'. You can just say you don't like the bow bullshit because it's dumb, I do. That shit's dumb, I don't care about Twinkleshine. But your argument here is also really fucking dumb.
>>42729865Those are aunts, not mothers.
>>42729819This is a great size for ponies, thei gigantic eyes about the size of my head consuming my soul
>>42729839Nice! Thank you, PA
>>42729868They're both mother figures. Unlike her biological mother.
>>42729456The truth is that the tournament was over before it even begun.
>>42729819>hurr rape because it has it in the nameAbsolute nothing character, and you repeated it with rape tape which isn't a background pony.
>>42729863I'm sorry, are you arguing that Derpy's eyes being messed up in episode 15+ wasn't a result of the fanbase's memes? Because that's a very bold claim.
>>42729865She gets to be groomed by Rainbow Dash too>>42729873Dark Rainbow Dash thinks Scootaloo is ugly and doesn't want to groom her
>>42729869She's just really excited to meet (You) and wants to secure your vote!
>>42729830Gosh that Lincoln feller does look mighty fine. Wonder if he'll roll around in the hay with me~
>>42729873GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED FOR 18282039303735820 TRILLION YEARS.
>>42729875They kept the derp eyes because fans liked it in episode 1. Show proof that they switched out another pony for derpy
Who is the weakest link in this tournament?
>>42729859well we know from Flash she likes em young...
>>42729881They didn't keep the derped eyes, there was only one shot where Derpy had fucked up eyes and they then added in derped eyes in all future Derpy scenes once they saw the fan response to this inconsequential easter egg. Now, I want you to consider two scenarios.>one animator makes a silly mistake and decides to leave it in>character becomes known by the fanbase as a mess-up pony>that pony happens to already be in the scene where pegasi fuck up really badly>animators change the eyes to make the fanbase laugh>nailed itAlternatively:>one animator makes a silly mistake and decides to leave it in>character becomes known by the fanbase as a mess-up pony>there's an animated scene where pegasi fuck up really badly>animators swap one of the two models out for the new fan favorite pony>nailed itWhich do you think is more likely, bud? I'll look to see if I can find the source of the anecdote but without evidence, I can tell you the latter is what I'd expect.
>>42729867Bow autism is a forced meme. Forced memes of one offs is not characterization, but it's all that nu/mlp/ can come up with. I will spit on the grave of anyone calling it creativity when there's jack shit to base it on.There's more of it, the same brain tumor that decided that we NEED to have Light Stream be le sad mare ALL THE TIME because even though no one in crowd is happy she is... le sad!Fuck everyone who defends this dreck
>>42729910Most memes are forced memes, I find the characterization rewatch people come up with to generally be annoying but your arguments against them are asinine. Make better arguments.
>>42729910Woah she's despondent...
>>42729916>Arguments against the asinine is asinine
>>42729859>30 year old mare who hangs out around teenagers and occasionally beats them upIts a real mystery, anon

>>42729420Pacific Glow is a rave dance pony with the pacifier drug reference and honestly I do not care for her. Sweet Biscuit is a rich canterlot pony with a cookie on her ass. She speaks once or twice too. God I fucking hate you bitches, always bitching about something. It's like this place is filled with women, always yapping like they get paid by the amount of words and posts they waste on their absolutely retarded opinions.
>>42729917Funny how you knew exactly what was being called out, and I didn't even need to say that. It's all the same nu/mlp/ shit
Do not vote for Rarity
>>42729960Oh okay.
>>42729956>Pacific Glow is a rave dance pony with the pacifier drug reference and honestly I do not care for herFor shame, she's the best thot
>>42729960Bone Stealer...
Bring back previous winners so Dashie can win again and again
>>42729969Rainboverrated
>>42729963I do not care for thot mares. The only thot mare I can accept is Sunshine Smiles or those two from Putting your Hoof Down.
>>42729972But would you say that to her face?
>>42729969She's so cool...
>>42729975Surf and Turf are in the tournament too.
>>42729909NTA, but I remember hearing that the derped eyes were originally an inside joke. They were supposed to be covered up by another pony in the final shot, so only the animators were going to see them. Then the layout changed, and the eyes became visible, and they were intentionally left in as an Easter egg.I don't remember hearing anything about the second time her derped eyes showed up. But I could imagine either of your scenarios. Maybe they already planned to use this model because they needed a generic background pony and that's all she is at this point. And at first they didn't plan to derp her eyes, since that was just supposed to be a one-time gag, but the positive reaction to her first appearance changed their mind. Or maybe they didn't plan to use this model in this scene, but the positive reaction to her first appearance turned her into a character and gave her a life of her own. That changed their mind, and they swapped her in. In my mind, these are both too plausible to rule out completely. If you can find the source of the anecdote I'd be curious to know what really happened.
>>42729979If Rainbow Dash was in my face I would start hyperventilating.
>>42729909What's more realistic is what's cheaper, changing the eyes to be derped. Remember this is from the same season that copy pasted ponies as crowd filler because it was cheaper than making new ones.
>>42729979Best pony is so beautiful
>>42729999quads confirm, beautiful mare
>>42729990You're correct, found the exact quote.> 2)----> Derpy truly came from the fans... some cheeky animator stuck her in the BG with her eyes weird.. i saw it but left it in cuz it made me chuckle (and hasbro didnt catch it) then i couldn't believe it when somepony pointed her out . we loved the response so much that when we were finalizing the episodes, whenever we would catch the grey pony in the BG I'd call for a revision on her eyes to make them DERP. thats why you don't see them crossed again until several episodes in... we had finished a bunch before she was born. we did it without Lauren's blessing actually and i was a bit aprehensive how she would react. but she loved it and Derpy remains.>>42729997The budget difference between an animator spending five seconds to derp the eyes and five minutes to place in a different existing pegasus model and pose it appropriately is essentially zero. The fact that they started derping her in the scene where something Derpy-coded happens makes it more likely than not that it was not originally the Derpy model in that shot.
>Derpy won last year and can't ever participate again>Thread is Derpy discussion anywaysNever change /mlp/
>>42730021Don't worry we're almost done.
>>42729960Okay, I'm voting for her.

>>42730210Yes.
>>42729113If my vote gets discounted because I spilled spaghetti all over the form... I guess I won't even know. Hope you're merciful PageantAnon.
>>42730221What did you do?
>>42730221These were the easiest verification questions ever. They were extremely newfag friendly, one is literally a happening from half a year ago that anyone who used the site at all would know.
>>42730240spiked means increase, not decrease. you should go rewrite your answer since you don't know english. god verification questions are terrible and always have been.
>>42730249It's not referring to the event you're thinking of, newfag.
>>42730240NTA but I didn't even bother answering the tulpa one, I'm not even a newfag and that shit went over my head
>>42730256neither of the other questions are about events, esl-kun.
>>42730257This has to be bait. Even my normie sister knows that one.
>>42730231We had another smaller spike recently, so I completely forgot about the other one because I don't know how to read questions properly.
>>42730258>one is literally a happening from half a year ago that anyone who used the site at all would know.>oneYou can't even read. Thank god you're getting filtered.
>>42730265god you're retarded.
>>42730268Don't worry newfren, I'll give out the answers to the verification questions in the rounds after my waifu gets bounced. Patience, my little newfag!
>>42730264Oh, well odds are if you got the other two you'll be fine.
>>42730272i know the answers. the only way i get any wrong is if the questions are just retarded. the other "happening" this year that could be the spike is so dumb to count as a spike in usage that if its actually what the answer is then we need to behead the person who wrote that question.
>>42730278The question is pretty clear, I don't see what you're confused about. There was one huge spike this year, and that's what it's referring to.
>>42730283there was one huge spike. and there was two things that disrupted normal usage of the site. one of these things could if you are mentally handicapped, be viewed as a spike in usage.
>>42730285>>42730283>>42730278>>42730275>>42730272>>42730268I got a question why are you both so retarded?
>>42730294There are more than two anons here, Anon, and you didn't even include me and I'm the one who spilled spaghetti.Anyway I went back and fixed my answer, but I did so with autism.
>>42730285I think you're just being too autistic about this. It's obviously a specific event which is signified by the use of "immensely" in the question.
>>42730294its the questions that are retarded. they're always asking you to have either been on the board for a random specific day to see a specific schizo thread (which is almost never the most interesting thread that happened of the year but just some recency bias shit) or solve a riddle on what the fuck they are actually asking you, because they're written like dogshit in an attempt to be "cryptic." even if you believe your fear in offboarders ruining the poll is justified, instead of hysteria, i have never looked at one of these things and thought "yeah that is the most reasonable thing to be asking to figure out if someone responding is a horsefucker or normlperson or whatever the fuck you personally call anons. believe it or not /mlp/ is a healthy community with subcommunities who all do and pay attention to different things, and I don't think its reasonable that neetpone thread lurkers have seen random thread that was only on the catalog for 3 hours. which btw, the one in the fucking google form this time is something that a goddamn offboarder youtuber covered.
>>42730294no one was talking to you, lil bro.
>>42730313oh i'm sorry, i thought this was indeed retard central.
>>42730317>The form is doing its job of filtering tourists and generalfagsHow is this a bad thing? Lurk for a few hours and you'll never have a problem with any of the verif questions. They get mentioned all the time.
>>42730317All three questions were easy for me, someone who's been on this board for about one year. If you've been on /mlp/ for longer there's basically no excuse.
>>42730328and this is the part where you devolve into saying "NOOOOO YOU'RE USING THE BOARD WRONG NOOOOO MISS /MLP/ IS ONLY FOR ME. so you've given up on actually having a point.
>>42730334you just don't have a high enough IQ to question the questions and assume your first thought is magically correct.
>>42730336I'm genuinely baffled on how you don't know these questions off the top of your head. If you don't know them then no, Miss /mlp/ is not for you because you aren't a board user, you're a general user. Lurk the fuck moar.
What is even the point of the verification questions when there's another verification question at the endIf my votes get ignored because I didn't answer a retarded question then fuck you
>>42730343i already told you i got them all right. i am not worried about my own votes. this is just broken dogshit way of filtering offboarders.
oh i'm so sorry for not caring enough about that tulpa thread even though i've been here for years
>>42730344Board related ones filter offboarders and the captcha one filters bots so faggots can't rig easily.
>>42730342Well... no, they're actually very easy. Questions one and two are easy to the point that you could find them on desuarchive within 20 minutes. Question three is basically a gimme if you've been on 4chan since the start of this year, so summerfags are fucked but that's about it.
Wow I feel like I opened a whole can of worms here. I don't have a problem with the questions, I did my best to answer them, it's up to PageantAnon if he thinks I'm too newfag to be included or not.But I guess I wasn't the only anon thinking about this, huh?
>>42730349you don't understand, literally the same behavior as 15 year olds on twitter pretending to have a DID is le most important thing to /mlp/'s culture.
>>42730347If anything the questions aren't hard enough.
>>42730355i am not complaining about difficulty of the questions and if that is your takeaway you have a mental disability
>>42730349I've never once read any serious tulpa discussions and that has zero effect on my ability to answer the question.
>>42730361Explain what you're complaining about then, because multiple people have been confused by your posts at this point.
>>42730365the questions are never good barometers of someone's belonging because they're either written like dogshit or expect you to have kept up with the flavor of the month thread of the creator of thems tastes instead of things the entire board care about.
>flavor of the month threadYou could ask questions 1 and 2 five years ago and the average anon would still get them correct. They are very basic questions.
>>42730373None of these questions revolve around anything fotm though? Two are well known board memes that have been around for years and one is an event that anyone who used the board would know because it was paraded around the board for months after the fact earlier this year. I could understand your concern if it was something stupid like "Who is Sugar Grape's friend?", which is retarded because it pertains to a minor meme that lasted a week. The 3 listed in this round are piss easy, and if someone can't get them they don't deserve to vote.
>>42730350>He thinks it stops rigging
>>42730395I said easily. Rigging is still very possible if you have the spare time and 'tism to make a ton of burners.
>>427303732/3 of the questions referenced referenced that happened several years ago though.
>>42730396Sounds easy to rig then.
>>42730400Not as easy as making bots would be, correct?
>>42730404Easier actually, no tech required only low functioning autism, spite and time.
>>42730409Do you have any plans to rig, anon?
>>42730414I have at least 4 burners. But no, I don't feel like wasting my time on that crap. I can see someone doing it on mobile though
Reminder that if your mare won after the OC in 2021, the victory is not real.AJ? Based and is the true winnerDash? She got second place, still worthy.If Luna won in 2021 I would have considered her as third place. But she didn't.And Derpy winning 2024? Jokes. She had already lost in 2021.
>>42730418Any rigging would be super obvious this far along in the tourney's life. All the obvious heavy hitters have won. Hell, I have my suspicions for Derpy's blowout of Redheart last year.
>>42730426Every year has rigging. And every year its obvious.
>>42730428All the previous winners feel organic unless you're a schizo. Derpy definitely didn't beat Redheart organically last year.
I'll see what PageantAnon says tomorrow, goodnight anon, I appreciate the dialogue over my stupid blundering.

>>42730422I honestly don't care for AJ but yeah she's definitely the board's favorite pony given my interactions with anons over the years. AJfags are a silent majority.

>>42730477>nothing else to sayand your mare's name was?
>>42730481Fluttershy.
>>42730481Nothing else needs to be said. AJ won in 2019 because the board felt pity for her. We believed G5 was going to be a reboot with an urbanized AJ that was voiced by a nigger. Her winning was a vote against that. That's just a fact.
>>42730477Every winner only wins because of them being the most popular at the moment. With that logic we shouldn't have this contest at all.
>>42730469>she's definitely the board's favorite ponyDerpy, Twilight, and Dash were the top 3 jerseys bought earlier this year.

>>427305264cc is only fun if you care about the rest of the site too. /mlp/ has a lot of fags who only come to 4chan for /mlp/.
>>42730526Cupfags are usually cuckfags too, yes.
Glimmer wants that flank.
>>42730551It is pretty, I get it.
>>42730551So she knows she doesn't deserve to beat Dust Devil then?
Meegan was spelled incorrectly again.
>>42730551Dust Devil is such a cute background mare with a cool name. I wish she appeared more often. Fortunately she's against the fart pony so she should win easily.
>>42730469>I honestly don't care for AJ but yeah she's definitely the board's favorite ponyThat's not true. Numbers don't lie
>>42730469Especially when it happens multiple times.
