Anything goes! (Some rules apply, see below)This thread is for anyone to drop in and post whatever's on your mind right now,Just about anything goes, so feel free to share your thoughts on an episode (or a tiny detail in one) or a character; share, review and discuss pieces of fan content you've just saw, declare who best pony is, describe what you dreamt last night, and ask whatever you've been wondering about. Try to keep it pony related.All sorts of ideas, thoughts and questions are welcome, from the brief to the in-depth, especially ones that don't really fit elsewhere at the moment but also don't warrant their own thread either.Talk to each other! You'll find that sometimes asking further questions and bouncing ideas off one another can let a small thought blossom into something greater.However, please respect the following: Refrain from posting about drama (IRL and online ones), political shit, baiting and starting/participating in shitflinging/ angry shouting matches. Also try and keep it low on moral and legal arguments, they never go anywhere.
Misty's Ponut and marepussy are PINK just as her belly, and hoofs. Maybe just a little bit darker on tone, but they aren't blue.
the royal sisters are pretty
What's your favourite grimdark fanfic?>Mines the original Rocket to Insanity
>>42739105I like these threads, op, thank you. I love writing and coming up with stories and my own lore that's lore friendly with the show. I enjoy the world I've built where Anon has married Celestia, making her Queen Celestia and him King Anonymous. Yes, it's a stereotypical self insert aie, but I don't care. It's my imagination, and I can do what I want with it. There is no wrong way to fantasize. King Anonymous isn't the only thing I write about, obviously, but it's definitely a favorite of mine.
I can't explain, but I feel like some threads pop up specifically to show up on those PTS videos. They all have a very similar format and somewhat similar replies
>>42739346Not true, red stallions like Mac or Sprout have dark bits, why can't Misty have a pink ponut?

>>42739202I want to be sandwiched between them
I just had the stupidest idea for a pony video but I would need a comprehensive collection of trixie voice linesor at least the most entertaining ones I need soundbytesfor reasons
Since ponies can eat grass and flowers, how much sense does it really make for one to go hungry, specifically in the cities. A character trait in a story I'm planning out relies on a character having been without a decent meal for a few days but I'm having doubts if it's really believable
>>42739548Good feed isn't really as abundant as you might think. Sure they can just walk around and eat the floor, but where is the good feed? Typically it's in dangerous places that are patrolled by predators IRL. Feeding carries an inherent risk to real horses, they are vulnerable and distracted when they are eating. In addition, good feed is not just grass, it's a variety of herbs and forbs and wildflowers. Horses can get a bad tummy from eating just rich grass, they need a variety. As well, in an urban area where lots of Ponies live, all the good wild feed would already either be eaten, harvested, or trampled. Imagine living in Manehattan and trying to get a good meal off the floor; it's gonna be pissed on, stepped on, spit on, and garbage thrown on. Even in non-urban areas, the climate may just be unsuitable. Horses that live ferally are often starving and have to be humanely culled so they don't suffer.100% believable IMO. Horses starve every day IRL.
>>42739548They would sure view window planters in a different way.I imagine starvation is a rarity, unless it's in a deep urban environment or in a wasteland, but foraging on grass would be utterly flavourless, just sustenance to keep going, with no enjoyment.

>>42739768But I don't like rap!
>>42739486Not even that, just, threads with a very similar theme that go in a similar direction and always show up on those videos, but always the top few comments, I'm probably being paranoid over nothing but it feels a bit manufactured
>>42740663Maybe its the guy that makes the PTS videos making them.
>>42740696Eh probably, or maybe I spend way too much time in here and I'm starting to notice posting patterns
>>42739319examples?
>>42740708 There are threads that are obviously made to be featured in PTS; like the "let's see what's on /mlp/ tonight" one. That doesn't mean they can't be fun, though. As for the rest, I think it's mostly ritual posting or just a small number of active posters keeping things going.
>>42740726What do you mean by ritual posting? Like the pony-specific generals?
>>42740722There are some prompt threads who always seem to go in the same way and that always get featured but only on the few early posts, I can't prove shit and I'm 80% sure that I'm wrong but it feels that way
>>42739423Dark bits is zoofag territory, you don't wanna be associated with Lightsolver.
>>42740742>pony-specific generalsDo you reckon those are a mistake Anon? I'm just... wondering. I don't want my mare's thread to die. Pretty sure I'm not the only one in that regard. I just don't really know how much effort I should be putting into it. I feel like low-effort posting isn't worth it, but it does keep threads alive in hopes of getting a few quality posts down the line.
Zecora is cute.
>>42739275I dunno if Broken Bluebird really counts but if it does then that's the one.
>>42741881 90% of the board is like that, anon. It’s sad that they're bumpfests, but at least the single-mare generals show that there are still some anons who care about them and there's still the occasional chance for rare art or a green.
The board would instantly get better if people replied to new greens/art more.
>>42742075The board would instantly get better if they put me in charge so I can ban everything I don't like
>>42742090this. first thing im going to do is delete the RGRE thread and give 3 day bans to people who disagree with me
I'm the sick anon who started watching the other day. I love Pinkie Pie now. She was my least favorite but now I love every second she's on camera. My favorite is still Fluttershy though.Surprisingly deep moment when Sparkle said>Sometimes, the thing you think will cause you to lose friends and be left out can actually be the thing that helps you make your closest friends and realize how special you areIt was beautiful.

>Applejack and Rainbow Dash in the contest episodeJUST MAKE OUT ALREADYWhy is Applejack always such a catalyst for sexual tension for other pones?
I am extremely melancholic about ponies. I got onto the ride June 2011 and have never turnt my back on horses. However I do admit that I have had a couple of years up until recently during which ponies, aside from some adjacent musicians, didn't really have any real presence in my life. But now some serious social circle drama has transpired and I find myself more alone than I have ever been, and I can say this is through no fault of my own. My only fault was young me not procuring friends in school because I was the literal Underground Man. I realize this fault and strive to alleviate it but past sins are not so easily overcome and course corrected. I am alone. I do not want to make friends with rand0s on discord, I don't think internet friends are real friends, at least not to me. This loops back to the ponies, I am hinging on them like an addict does substances. They're so cute, they're so perfect, they're pretty, kind and unjudgemental. My corrosive and flippant nature can't find fault with them, only their non-existance sullies their presence in my life. And I realize this is crazy, I should not be lamenting the ponies like this, I am an adult human and I should have other things to worry about, but I don't. I have nothing to worry about aside from wtf my purpose is because right now I am not having fun. I have read enough existentialist literature to realize what I am experiencing isn't new and up until now I thought I actually had a pretty firm grasp on life. Forward momentum, wise choices and what I thought was a stable friend group and family. Losing thy friends really does snuff out your passion for life. Life is what you make it to be and no one is going to knock on your door and fix your shit. But I don't want to "fix" anything, my life was grand and I had all I wanted, I lost it through sheer circumstance and now I've got nothing but a healthy body and material goods. Life is nothing without people to share it with. I have no friends. And I don't think I'll ever get new ones. I don't know how to. MLP isn't indicative of what friendship is, it never was. But the mares are all I have. I feel myself slipping and I'm not even a man enough to embrace it and go to a motherfckn convention. I'll rot in my cellar.
>>42742187Haha for a second I thought you were being serious. I wish you were... if only.>>427420751-2 (You)s is all I expect and all I get most of the time for my creations. I don't expect getting more would make a massive difference, as long as the number isn't 0. That would suck. But I mostly agree with the sentiment, it's just easier said than done, especially with greens, there can be a lot to read from different writers, hard to support them all.
>>42742308>past sinsYOOOOO NYX REFERENCE SPOTTED
>See the race episode>Spike sees Pinkie up in the balloon acting as an announcer>"Just ask her to be her co-host, Spike. Pinkie would love it">Spike addresses Pinkie Pie but says "Ah, forget it">Pinkie Pie asks him if he wants to be her co-hostI love this show
>>42739548it's basically been said already, but I wanna butt in anyway: it can reasonably happen ESPECIALLY in big cities. in ponyville you're never far from a meadow or a tree, but good luck finding anything in Manehattan.
>>42739548>A character trait in a story I'm planning out relies on a character having been without a decent meal for a few days but I'm having doubts if it's really believableUp in the mountains it's all bare earth and rocks. Or the character went through the Everfree Forest and didn't know what a pony could survive on in there.
>>42742308There is absolutely nothing wrong with escaping as the anchor of your life, but I'll warn you about a thing: if you have any goodness in you, do not let the rot of the world taint that fiction. When all you have is the flight you need to keep it pure. The second it gets corrupted then it's truly lost. Imagine a world where you have all the right to believe in God, that is not this one, you go there, and you reject God in that world. It's over, then, truly over. So what I'm saying is do not lewd the ponies. Don't project real life stuff on them. That's a horrible thing to do and it will dispel the magic. Just imagine the ponies happy doing cute pony stuff. Don't let the things that darken your existence cast a shadow on your garden.
abstained from sexual activity. Twilight sucked dream dick again. came in my sleep. felt ashamed. will stop. i hate being in a body i hate the purity of the ideal being violated in my head
BREED AUTISTIC!
>>42742721Damn you get dream raped by mares too?It happened to me twice.
>>42741881I try my darndest to make an effort, it's my waifu after all, but most days there's nothing really there to post besides new images, there was an anon who did a pretty great greentext a while ago but I don't expect that to last, I guess there's the panel at Marecon//mlp/con to look up to but that's twice a year
>>42742771Where do I find more like this? What tags?
>>42739560>>42739566>>42742548>>42742631Thank for the input. Looks like I won't have to change that part very much, then.
>>42741882
>>42741882In theory she shouldn't be, she's supposed to be this mysterious wise lady who lives in the wild forest brewing strange potions and speaking in strange languages, yet she's still cute
>>42739560I'm reminded of when I went to Assateague or however you spell it down by Virginia and they were explaining they can basically only eat the really nutrient poor salt grass cause it's the only thing around and they've lived there long enough to only really be able to digest it.
>>42743992The more I think about it, the less I agree that any of those things would have prevented her from being cute
>>42743152I really do try as well Anon, always hoping it makes a difference. I wish you and your marewife the best.
On the subject of grass, the idea strikes me of a game, MMO or other sort of multiplayer, where food works like a boost, a-la how Valheim does it. Grass would be edible and you'd have these scenes of players in big bunches grazing together for a well-fed boost. It would take like like two minutes to complete, but you wouldn't scuff at a free boost. That or a hunger system, that seems otherwise pointless and a nuisance, but would prompt players to graze. That image just came to mind.
>>42743127Share your secrets. I want to breed mares in my sleep too.
how would ponies write utopia & dystopia in fiction? Equestria is closer to utopia than our world but other parts of their planet are generally more dystopian
>>42744773I feel like Equestrian utopian fiction would focus on very specific things like the idea of a deathless world. Dystopian fiction would focus on chaos and perhaps try and explore what it's like to not have cutie marks, since I'd imagine that's something that's probably scary for a lot of ponies. Everypony's probably wondered at one point or another if they'd never get one as a foal, then they grow up and learn of other societies where nopony has them.
>>42742308Yet, you're not alone, anon. You're posting here, people are reading you. You may be closer to friendship than you believe, for now you may grieve on friendship pasts, but, in time, nothing is barring you from friendship new.
There are thing I find cute and funny but people immediately assume it's a fetish.Sure it can be in a sexual context.
>>42744995Interesting choice of words.

>>42745009No not like that asshole.Nooooooooooooooooo.
If I ever go to Equestria I want to befriend Discord
>>42745241Probably a better route to go down than intentionally antagonizing him.He's probably a decent friend to have, after a lot of effort on your part.
>>42741695Ok... how is that an argument against Misty's pink ponut theory?
>>42745268I think Discord just needs someone that appreciates his chaos, his shitposting, for lack of a better term. This is why he gets along with Spike and Big Mac when they play DnD, albeit begrudgingly at first. I think Discord is really lonely at heart and needs some one that wants to have him around, not because he's magically powerful, but because he's fun to be around. He also probably needs a good hug.

Looking at Fluttershy makes me feel happy.
>>42744747>Share your secretsDon't have any. It just kinda happens sometimes.
I'm just gonna repost my friend's art here.
>>42746237I don't mind, it looks interesting, but do give us background information what it's about please
>>42746318It's.. you know. Bioshock.
>>42746332Uh, anon, Bioshock is 18 years old. There's a very real chance people just don't know about it anymore
I just read a fanfic about Rainbow Dash farting. It was good.
>>42739146I prefer a nice greyed pussy for her. Blue is kinda ridiculous.
>>42746543damn
NOTHING

IS HERE
>>42742075Agreeed, whenever I write a green or draw something, and it gets no (You)s, I just stop creating anything for a couple of weeks, call me weak willed or whatever, it's just how I feel. I think it mostly happens when my stuff isn't good enough to praise, or bad enough to criticize, it's just... Eh.Many people see the stuff, like it, but don't say anything. I'm guilty of this too.I think it's because there's so many more steps to showing appreciation compared to giving a like on facebook.>>42742311Agreed, even one (1) reply is greatly appreciated
>>42747654maybe it will help if you either lead in with something that makes it clear you just wrote the text, or ask for feedback at the end. the few times I wrote stuff it seemed to work.I've experienced it before, more commonly with pictures dropped into a thread, that I'd just assume were from a booru (though unusually relevant), only for it to turn out they were freshly drawn that day.
>>42743155oc:aryanne, autism
+1 Derp to thread!
>>42746543Let them get educated on game history then. I didn't grow up with a lot of games or movies either, but that's no excuse.
>>42747829Indeed, if I draw something I'll say "I made this" and give some bit of explanation just so other anons know it's not just a repost. Communication is key.Hell, this thread is all about communication. That's pretty cool.>>42747654It's sad to hear you get knocked down like that. Nurturing creativity is a group effort. Gotta cultivate those greens, otherwise we starve eh? Wishing you luck Anon. I'd like to support every writer and artist but my plate is already pretty full. There's just only so much one anon can handle, and I'm a little exhausted from trying to keep up with Miss /mlp/ too, and then there's the 4cc over the weekend...
>>42747654that is sad
>>42747654What did you create?
I like the dancing skeleton.
My back hurts.
I grew up on MLP and lived under a rock when it came to pop culture so MLP was my main source of anything related to culture. I fapped to mlp, read mlp fanfics, and watched mlp both fan content and official. My mind has been forever warped to ponies, for better or for worse.It did save me from suicide though, so I could not be happier.
hope I can love ponies for the rest of my life desu

>>42750056Anniversary fatigue. Give it time. Maybe make a thread of its own and kill a lewd thread.
>>42750056Which one?
>>42749761Kind of same, but for me it served as a catalyst to start exploring other parts of culture, starting with cartoons and other internet communities.Although I engage less these days, having watched only a limited amount of the later seasons, ponies served as an underpinning for my a lot of my morals and values, and made me really appreciate the creativity that the internet can unleash like never before.
>>42750056Post it here, I swear to give an opinion, even if I find it bad.
>>42749763Considering you're still here, you probably will. Things like this are things you'll always keep with you, even as you forget for some time or have other priorities. The ride never truly ends.

Pattern recognition
>>42747829>>42749027Hmm, maybe. Can't hurt to try.Thanks anons, I know it's silly but it feels like releasing stuff into a void y'know? Don't feel pressured Anon, you're just one guy, just do your part. But I don't think your part is replying to everything (though the effort is appreciated), take it easy.>>42749578>>42749664Just some greens and a couple of draws. I'd rather not shill my stuff, I don't wanna get known as the guy who crumbles when he doesn't get enough attention, lol.I don't get depressed mind you, just... The desire to contribute is lessened until it builds back up, if that makes sense.
>>42739295I also like this very specific genre. Where can I read your stories?
>>42750590This is the part where I dissapoint you by saying that I am a newfag when it comes to making my fics public. So far, the only green I've posted about that particular universe of mine (King Anonymous) is here:https://ponepaste.org/11417You're welcome to check out the other things I've posted under that account too, if you're interested.
>>42751036Oh, I already read that. I liked it though. :)
