>>42749287>>42749290thanks but im voting for noneim voting noone. im conceding my vote
>>42749293Ah, a true Celestia lover.
>>42749287Octavia vs Rarity is insane Wtf is supposed to happen in a tie
>>42749300>implying rarity will survive pinkie
Vote Lyra
>>42749287What's the answer to this one? I know the other two
>>42749333If you know the other two, then you can afford to just not answer that one. You only need 2/3 for your vote to count.
Well poochieCHADS, the Fausttrannies have beaten us down, but we can still make sure that the original poochie, PRINCESS MI AMORE FUCKING CADENZA, beats her sad hornless mudpony opponent.
Ponkbros, must it end like this?
>>42749338I really like this image.
>>42749333Nawni from marecon.
>>42749338>ponkbros :just: posting alreadyI'm a rarifag and even I know we're toast.
>>42749335Ah. Didn't know
>>42749338The way I worded this post made it seem like im a ponkbro when im a rarafag not wanting to battle my fellow pinkiefriends
>>42749336Dude stop, you're going to make Cheerilee win.
>>42749338>>42749348It's all in good fun!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vmc6HBCqx4U
>>42749333>check 'ema hint: "Temple of Celestia"
>>42749338If Marble can beat Rarity on multiple occasions Ponk can manage
>"The Princess of Love herself. My, what a beautiful little foal you have! What a nice family... When's it my turn, Cadance? You're the Princess of Love. You decide these things, do you not? Can't you whip up a spell? You have a high quality stallion. Where is my high quality stallion? We were both cheerleaders, Cadance. We both put in the effort. How come you get the colt and I got zilch? What do I have to do, Cadance? Tell me. Don't give me that 'the perfect stallion will come along when you least expect it' bullshit either. It's already been so long that I've stopped expecting it! Is it all about looks, Princess? Is that all stallions care about? Am I not pretty enough? Or is it that I don't put out on a first date? You were a whore, weren't you. That's the only explanation for it. You let that disgusting piggish stallion of yours rut you silly, didn't you? Fucking slut! I should've known better than to trust you, the horn growing out of your head says it all! Horrid whorish mutant."
>Rarity vs. PonkHow do I choose between my two favorite ponies?
>>42749396Flip a coin, then decide based on your reaction to what answer you get.
>for a moment thought Hiro also visited us on the 10th anniversary and that there could possibly be two correct choices>check>it was actually the 5thmy bones... they're turning to dust...
>>42749392Have you considered changing your personality?
>>42749424>hiro visiting for the 10th anniversaryC'mon man, you and I both know that guy checked out by 2016 at the latest.
>>42749287>That Raven formal wear picProbably the worst design for hoof heels I've ever seen
I'm ravin' for Raven.
>>42749455It really bothers me when they're on the front hooves, makes no sense. Triggered my autism in Best Night Ever, too.
Rigging is exhausting
>>42749481Tell me about it.
Year of Ping Pong starts now
>>42749455They're sexy though, imagine her trampling Celestia's defeated body with those
>>42749487folds to octavia, sorry
Favorite background pony pitted against favorite mane6. I'm okay with either winning though.
Post mares in formal evening wear for this round
>>42749481>>42749483I still have to vote 21 more times. I want to sleep. But I have to do this for my wife!
>>42749573Kek, nice art. Don't know if Rarara is gonna get the chance to avenge her though.
BEJITATELL ME THE ANWSERS
You ARE voting for my princess, right anon?
>>42749596>The wrongest anon ever once claimed that Friendship is Magic wouldn'tWork>Who came to visit /mlp/ during the 10th Anniversary Stream?Haber>What board OC has a cutie mark referencing a public OS?Anon filly
>>42749603Yes
OOH YOU TOUCH MY RARARAMY PINK PINK PONK
>>42749606the third one here is wrong
>>42749641True, Anonfilly is written as one word :)))
>>42749645not what i meant. oh well, 2/3 passes filter.
>>42749606I fucking hate you spoonfeeding faggots, why ruin the newfag filter?
>>42749287still pretty accurate.
>>42749612I've lost liters of cum to this character
>>42749695Makes sense. She's literally the Princess of Sex.
>>42749696Nah that's her daughter.
>>42749338It will end like this
>>42749639I chuckled
>>42749333I think it's terri but wtf is a "public OS"
>>42749287site is too spooky I CANT VOTE
>>42749720I don't see pinkie winning. Rarity is widely considered to be the better character.
>>42749485Ah, the friendship tests...those were the days
I'm not a rarityfag but I'm voting rarity. Pinkie has more shitty episodes than not and she turned into a shittier and shittier character as the show went on. Rarity has remained a consistently good character throughout the show.I think she deserves to win the whole thing more than any other winner so far besides Twilight.
>>42749775deleted cus this dumbass site told me the previous pictured was used so I assumed I couldn't post the last one.
>>42749728operation system?
>>42749771If you base it purely on merit Twilight, Rarity, Starlight, Sunset Shimmer, Trixie, Chrysalis, and Lauren are probably among the few characters who actually "deserve" to win.But this contest isn't one based on merit.
>>42749781>Starlight, Sunset Shimmer>merit
>>42749781I don't understand how Lauren didn't win already purely on principle.
>>42749778you did not understand the question
>>42749287why isn't this round about hallowren costumes
>>42749788And I don't understand how Tracy has never come close to winning purely on principle but it's not a "most /mlp/ pony" contest, it's just a favourite pony contest
>>42749796meme ponies wouldn't be allowed to win ever if I had it my way
next round will be.
umm no it wont
>Best Princess: Celestia>Best MILF: Celestia>Best Mane: CelestiaSun in all fields. Simple as.
>>42749757Rainbow Dash won once and she's the worst of the Mane 6. Anything is possible
I have not participated so farwhat have I missed
>>42749853Rainbow Dash and Derpy winning is the biggest proof that this is not a contest based on merit.
>>42749853>>42749867
>>42749851She's "qualified"
>>42749851Sun
Why did anon think that MLP FiM wouldn't have much Rule 34?
>>42749935>SunWhy the fuck is your flag discord and not Celestia/Daybreaker?
>>42749950>"Why would it? The other shows didn't."
>>42749962It's a Flutterfag
>>42749870What counts as high quality bait?
>>42749962I may be a shitposter, but I've got some dignity, mon ami.
>>42750051>discordterrible character
>What board OC has a cutie mark referencing a public OS?Well, that was fucking hard, I didn't even know this OS existed.
>ponk vs. rarityPONKBROS WE MIGHT BE COOKED
>>42750142No worries, Anon. The riggers are in kahoots with the Pies
>>42750142>if rarifaggots lose they will rig the shit again i dont want this to happen
going without /sun/ while voting celestia every time has me worried, I know she can win, but not being able to rally /sun/ for more votes makes me worried, I love my celly wife and I want her to win
>>42749639
>>42750129The questions are only hard if you're stupid.
>>42750217why not just make a celestia thread? not a /sun/ thread
>>42749456I'm trying to keep expectations curbed since she's up against Celestia but I really REALLY hope yesterday's shit doesn't negatively affect her. I just love this secretarial mare, i love her cute mane-bun/tail-bun and the glasses are a really cute look and I really hope one autist doesn't ruin her chances
>>42749853Autists stop seething about Rainvow Dash challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)
Most of the potential winners are boring now>Mane 6 (Yawn)>Celestia (ZZZZZZZ)>le WACKY LOOOOIRRAAAAAAAOnly good winner I see left is Lauren Faust herself, given it's the 15th anniversary it wouldn't be inappropriate to pay homage to Mom
>>42750374This year will finally be Celly's. I can feel it in my bones.
I'm not a shy fag but we can all conclude that flutts is an obvious finalist right?
>>42750384No, that's Lyra
>>42750368But Dashfags have always been the most autistic. The only fags that you can argue rivalling them are Twifags.
Happy Nightmare Night!
>>42750486To thi day, I'm 100% this was a snuff film that got leaked into the surface net.
>>42749639kek
>>42750365the autist made people root against barbies, glimmer and analsluts by supporting them by proxyyeah she's got no chance
>>42750365>>42750553I think the autist actually gave her better chances, people are supporting her as the meme vote now. Also Wallflower, Sunset, Starlight, and Coco were going to lose even without the autists support.
>>42750553So what you're saying is, I need to act really autistic and make it look like I'm a Sunfag, then everyone will vote against Celestia?
Can she make it to the next stop?
>>42750567If you don't manage to beat whorse there then you will forever be remembered as ultimate KEKs
>>42750567Voting Ponk out would be the humane thing to do. Let her piss, bros.
When do you think Flutershy is out? At Glim glam?
>>42750608Glimmer is out already.
>>42750608Wait Glimmer is out? I thought you fags love her like Sunshit
>>42750613that was just one rigger. nobody who knows how to read english actually likes them
I could have made a post about how much I want pinkie to piss in my mouth but I chose not to.
Fluttershy might beat Lyra, but can she beat the symbol of snowpity pony?
I want Pinkie to fill my belly with her hot marepiss so bad it's unreal
>>42749287Celestia participates? Wasnt she a winner at least once?
>>42750613>I thought you fags love herNobody likes Haber's OC.
>>42750619She lost in the finals to Luna.
>>42749603I cant believe Meghans Princess is still in the race while GM Berrow princesses all went down in first round against oc's
>>42750622So she is most likely to win
>>42750631No
>>42750636It should be decided after she beats pinkie or rarity
>>42750631She's not the only pony left who's lost in the finals.
>>42750631Doubtful.
Go Flutters!
>>42750646Nobody on the left side of the chart is going to be a problem for sunfags. Vote for Fluttershy is a vote for her husband, Discord
>>42750653What the fuck? Was it the year Reflections was released?
>>42750660This was last year.
>>42750645>afterif
>>42749639lol
>>42750384She's a trash tier pony so of course.
>>42750664Shes a sharty horse?
>>42750653Damn she beat two sunbutts back to backTime for Cadance to avenge her mom and sister
>>42750626
>>42750684Yeah, Cheerilee's pretty fucked. I wouldn't get too cocky though, that's what screwed Sunfags last time.
>>42749442HI ANON I NEVER FINISHED SCHOOL
>Zhen, vonce ze cheerilee ist gestrapped to zhe rocket, ve vill launsch it at a sirty-five degree angle, and zhen...
If Cadance wins, Shining's penis may not survive the celebration

Less than eight hours remain in the Round of 16, and the Quarterfinals are set to begin! As stated before, with an extra round to work with and the occasion of the pageant falling on Halloween, the next round will be a spooky spectacular.Please respond to this post with a picture of your contestant of choice wearing costumes they'd wear for a fun-filled Nightmare Night! Scary, silly, suggestive, whatever you'd like to see her wearing for the bone-chilling holiday! Provided that they make it into next round, it's what I'll for use for the image in the poll. If multiple pics are provided for the same girl, I'll use the one that has the most responses to it.
Your hate only fuels her.

Guys, I love Ponk so much it’s unreal.
>>42750796But she's too pink
>Radio silence from FlutterfagsJust like Derpyfags. Fluttershy will win this year.
>>42750815You can never have too much pink.
>>42749287Who visited on the anni? Larson or Confalone?
>>42750845Flutterfags boycott this tournament because they don't ""care"" about the results and opinions of other people (cope)
>>42750855Vogel. Why do you think there's an obsessed guy named Vogelfag running around the board?
>>42750845She's not even remotely close to Derpy. There is not a chance a character with love interest will win this tournament of basically the best pony waifu
>>42750860Flutters, Ponk, and Caddy are fucked, then?
>>42750707I can Not See why anyone would vote for used goods.
>>42750858Vogel was too much of a bitch to visit anything other than Equestria Daily. Only Larson, Confalone or early Faust would visit it
>>42750862Pretty much both metaphorically and literally
>>42750873Based God Haber actually visits the board every day just to make based slide threads and then leaves.
God I hate Rarity
>>42750880he still begs for work. Literally made only 11 scripts for literal who baby slop cartoons between 2022 and now

I will never vote for Cadance, Pear Butter, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy or any mare who already had sex and didnt save herself for me!

>>42750890I'm sorry for your terrible taste. >>42750860pinkie has a love interest
>>42750733And that's it.
>>42750920proof that fluttershy had sex?
Reminder: >>42735150
Only 5% of anons vote based on the thread. You guys are wasting your time trying to put each other's waifus down.
>>42750956Multiple battles have come down to that 5%.
>>42750960Not between any of the mares left.
>>42750956We are the elite 5% of the board, of course our opinions have more weight.
>>42750956I actually change my votes depending on who's mean to me while repping certain ponies.

>>42751003Isn’t it Celestial dressed as Daybreaker?
>>42751010Are you sure you wanna dress up as a loser, both canonically and tournament wise?
>>42750733Roseluck's should be her fainted in fear at her opponents costume.
>>42751028if she makes it I will vote for her with that still hoping she won't make it though
>>42750733I like this one >>42750921 or pic rel
>>42749639How was this joke never done before in literal 15 years?My sides
>>42751088Anon, I...
>>42751084I vote for this one.
>>42751102I don't mean in text, like the ol video edits, likehttps://youtu.be/2h27a_E94Fsbut I suppose it wasn't clear enough
>>42751102All me
I made a chart showing who each of the current competitors previously lost to. >Octavia strongShe's been knocked out early before, but always to a candidate that repeatedly finishes near the top. >Raven Inkwell's track recordShe's cooked. I predict:>Celestia vs Pear ButterThe princess wins. Celestia is a repeat top four competitor. >Pinkie vs OctaviaDonk dunks on Ponk. Pinkie jobs to random mares like Pear Butter, Nurse Redheart, and Trixie. >Cheerilee vs LimestoneShmoopy all the way. Limestone only shows mid-tier performance. >Minuette vs LyraLyra wins. Lyra has a better record and a stronger fan base. I'm saying Lyra can beat Fluttershy here because 1. where are her fans? She didn't even start with a dress in the formal wear round. 2. She's been to finals, but has also lost to an OC and a donkey. 3. Lyra consistently goes top four except the year Derpibooru blew up.
>>42751144Duel of the mints is bound to happen at every time that there's a possibility.
>>42751144It's actually really useful to see how Rainbowshine has evolved over the past five years as a result of becoming a meme.
>>42751160And Minuette always loses This makes me sad
>>42750733Rainbowshine is dressing up as her fallen comrade, Tracy Cage.
>>42751191voting for this one

>>42750508The mundane truth is that it was probably a publicity stunt.

>>42752019Wow... longpone.
instead of security questions why not just have an option at the end that says"are you a real /mlp/ poster?yes no"then filter everyone that says nowhy didn't anybody think of this?
ALL HAIL THE RARITUBE
>>42752026But everyone knows that a real /mlp/ poster had to have been in the /co/ or /b/ threads... I'd have to say no...

>>42749287These security questions are shit. I didn't get into this fandom to answer a ton of meta questions just to vote for mares I like. Seriously. Purity Tests are for faggots.

>>42752038Ranch?
>>42752038
>>42751976No, I agree. These purity tests are shit. I've been a fan since before most everyone on this board was even alive (except one that I know of). I'm old, I want to vote for nice mares. Not prove I have no life and squirk my peen on this board 24/7/365.
>>42752051YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT
>>42751992Thanks Anon, if you're being legit, but I'm not a filthy cheater. I put in the answers because you were kind enough to humour me, but I let PageantAnon know that I did. He can decide. If you see my spaghetti in the results then yeah.

It's over
>>42752050There's a less beautiful place called your ass, faggot. It's where your brain is. For fuck's sake, I've been coming to 4Chan since '04. I just happen to have a life and am not here all the time. It doesn't make me any less of a fan.
It's over.
The security questions aren't hard enough. A lot of them are recycled from last year. Anyone at all could figure them out with a minimal amount of effort. Hell, you can get most of these questions by frequenting X (formerly Twitter), let alone /mlp/.

The Round of 16 is now complete! With a total of 373 successful ballots, not including 38 that needed to be removed due to failing verification, we now have this year's top eight contenders! A round of applause for our final eight, as well as to those who came so far in this pageant.Results of the Round of 16: https://forms.gle/788YFSGbKo4LqgcXA

Wow, out of the eight I picked, only two made it.
LIMESTONE NOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm sorry darlings
I expected it, but still.
>>42752072Seriously, faggot, I don't do social media, and I don't come on /mlp/ that often. Because I have a life. I didn't vote last year. I don't usually, but a friend asked me. So, yeah, seriously, you and everyone else defending these purity tests can suck Princess Mo's strap.
OH NO NO NO WHORSESISSIESHOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO US..?
BLOWN THE FUCK OUT AHAHAHAHAHAAA

>Lyra lostlooks like I'm on team Cheerilee now
>>42752093You kind of sound like a filthy casual and a normie faggot. This may be hard to believe, but the questions are designed to prevent you from voting.
>lyra out>rainbowshine out>limestone out>raven out>faust out>rarity outwhy EVEN live
Why the fuck can't Rarity win? Why? Why do you fucks not like her? She's a great pony so why the fuck didn't she win?
>>42752081Goodbye Frosty... you survived as long as anypony could expect you to.
>>42752081fuck....
Sorry raribros, didn't expect it to be that big of a losst. ponkfag who voted for Rarity for a laugh
>>42752093>I don't come on /mlp/ that oftenThen this event isn't for you. Not everything revolves around you, you entitled faggot.The only people complaining about gatekeeping are the ones on the wrong side of the gate.
>"Hi Anon!">"Cadance and Rarity? Don't worry about them. You have me now. That's all you'd ever need, right? Let's go to that Nightmare Night party. I heard that Roseluck would be there, and I need to have a word with her."

>>42752105>all the shithorses outFinally, the good part of the tournament
Alas rarifags, our eternal destiny has once again been fulfilled.
>>42752128Cheerilee is still in.
>>42752133That one anon was right, they're very quiet this year and that means they're going all-in. Dark horse candidate.
>Minuette>Cheerilee>Pear Butter>Octavia Melody>RJU97F>Submit
>Only one character I actually care about leftWelp.
Rarifags, I know we had to fight it out, but you guys are still alright in my book.
Next year Rarity will be the only pony from the M6 in the entire contest. Unfortunately, she'll still have to beat Marble Pie, which she's never done before.
>>42752139>the 30 year old boomareyou don't want me to pay attention to her
Vote for Rainbowshine!
Now I'm not saying anything, but the last time Frosty Flakes went out she lost to Derpy.
>Miss Roseluck wonYayHopefully she can beat Cheerilee now
>A major GET for the board involved a button proclaiming they believed in cumming inside which pony?what does that even mean, "button"?
>>42752162yeah... I sure will anon...
>>42752110Fuck you we don't need your pity vote
>>42752166I'm calling rigged.I want to believe this is rigged because there's no way Background Flower #3 could have beaten Limestone organically.You can't just have this bad taste.
>>42752174It wasn't a pity vote, I was actually kind of hoping she'd win because the seethe would be worth it
The Inkwell hypetrain sadly wasn't enough, but getting 44.6% against Celestia was an impressive feat for a background pony.Was a fun run at least. Maybe next year she'll go up against a major player and win.
>>42752168newfag filtered. KEK
>>42749781>>42749796>>42750374/mlp/ is a board for coomers with a pony fetish, and probably a trad fetish too for most (which is why the voterbase is so obsessed with MILFs and having motherly associations boosts a character significantly). We don't vote based on principle, or character merit, we vote based on coom, contrarianism, and emotional attachment. And sometimes in-the-moment impulse, like with Verity.
>>42752168It's the image that was attached to the get.

>>42752185>>42752188how the fuck am I supposed to know about gets, I don't pay attention to that shitat least give a clue because I feel you know who is way too obvious for it to be the answer
>>42752202Desuarchive is a very valuable tool at times like these.
>>42752177Newfag.Roseluck is a S1 character.Limestone is a S5 character no, the flashback doesn't count because her personality and headcanons and everything you love from that comic didn't exist in S1 and I'm sick of Pie sister fags trying to claim to be S1 core by technicalityThat's just all it is.Barring some special cases, a S1-S2 character will always beat a late season character.
>pick the pony i want to win>the other options are always at randomI dont like this

roseluckbros I can't believe we've come this far
>>42752111ive complained about it in every thread but ive gotten all questions correct
>>42752236There's only one type of get that is going to get referenced in something like this. There's been 42 of them so far and trust me, it's not one of the recent ones.
>>42752221Because this is an autistic otaku fandom, and Rarity is too realistic of a female character for many of the otakus to be comfortable with her. Mainly it's the fact that she's not ashamed of using her appearance to get what she wants, which immediately makes insecure people think that if she got in a relationship she'd be unfaithful. Not even a Rarifag but this has always been true.
>>42752221Because hating rarity is a meme
>>42752214>Roseluck is a [...] character.I don't mind gloating but try to be serious
>>42752221Rarity losing in humiliating fashion is a miss /mlp/ tradition.
>>42752169oh... sobbing...
>>42752104For a show about inclusion and friendship, and a fandom that has people making art where foals get abused, this is a really dumb line to draw.
>>42752223Give her something that's not a gif pleaseGifs give characters buffs because a person like >>42752215 is more likely to vote for a flashing moving image.
>>42752108>>>/fur/
>>42752187Cadance is the pinnacle of what you described and she just got gaped.
>>42752250Did you read the previous threads this week? This is the board where people will argue tooth and nail that Rainbowshine is a character and mock you for suggesting otherwise. So yes, Roseluck is a character. The sooner you realize canon characterization does not mean SHIT in the face of autistic headcanons in Ms. /mlp/, the closer you will be to enlightenment.
>>42752263Be nice, there's no need to beat a dead horse.
>>42752265Untrue, Cadance is regularly memed as unfaithful which hurts her standings amongst anons.
>>42752217AAAAH GROKMAN PLEASE SAVE ME
>>42752117Give Luna a costume too
Bracket is now updated, and now here is a look at how the votes would have swung if the 38 removed ballots were instead left in1.

>>42752274Fair enough. Headcanons can fuck a mare over.
>>42752265Yes, Cadance being a MILF probably does her a lot of favors and ensures she's not R2 fodder. But last round she was up against Cheerilee, who outdoes her on that front. S1 character is automatic boost, plus being a teacher gives down-to-earth motherly associations, way more than the ruler of a kingdom.
>>42752283>The biggest win of the round goes to Cheerilee with a 61% win margin (the only contestant to break >60%) over Princess Cadance, 227 to 145>An even bigger win was had by Lyra Heartstrings in the Best Background Pony bracket, beating Carrot Top by 68.2% at 234 to 109>The narrowest win of the round was held by Octavia Melody at just 52.2% of the win over Lauren Faust, coming out ahead by only 16 votes>An even narrower win was had by Numget in the Best OC bracket, winning at only 51.6% and only 11 votes over Tracy Cage>The lowest Seed remaining in Miss /mlp/ is now Pear Butter at Seed 40.

Questions this time were easier, won't need help this round. I'll just say, twibooru was more helpful than desu.Also saw an interesting ITT drinks menu. Think I need a fucking drink after today. Happy Nightmare Night /mlp/.
>>42752117>>42752292Here's a costume for Dash
>>42750374>Only good winner I see left is Lauren Faust herself, given it's the 15th anniversary it wouldn't be inappropriate to pay homage to MomSo a fotm winner like AJ
I know the odds are essentially zero but I'd really like it if Pear Butter made it to the final four. Celestia's gonna win one year or another, Pear Butter's probably never making it any closer than this.
Best Bitch is such a shitty bracket.
Another M6 victory this year
>>42752292
Brothers, let us band behind Minuette to slay the beast known as Fluttershy!
>>42752214>>42752268>roseluck introduced in season 1>never has significant characterization >limestone introduced in season 1>also does not have significant characterization, until season 5>therefore roseluck is a season 1 character and limestone is a season 5 character?????

>>42751861>>42752292I supersede Twilight's image with this
>>42752340this but unironically
>>42752338Yes, because people vote for Limestone based on her S5 characterization, not S1 headcanons.
>>42752338Roseluck is the same character she always was in season one. Limestone only became Limestone in season five, thus, people consider her a season five character.
>>42752283Fluttershy is going to beat Pinkie in the finale, I'm calling it now.
>>42752340I agree, we should vote Pinkie this year's winner so she doesn't keep coming back to the final eight
>five earth ponies>one unicorn, pegasus, and alicorn eachMore like Miss Mudhorse
>>42752361Earth pony board!
We have two Earth pony winners, two pegasi winners, and two alicorn winnersUnicorns are the true despised class
>>42752361Based /mlp/.
>>42752369unicorns are an intellectual's race. popularity contests are foreign to the concept.
>>42752369It's /mlp/, Unicorn Twilight was clearly the winner.
>>42752318We have to do better with the categories next year. I always forget because the nominations thread has a lot of mare pictures. Very distracting.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!The candidate that represents everything wrong with this board has been voted out. It's just a shame it had to happen by the hooves of a background pony whose greatest characterization comes from being an expy from Dr. Who.
>>42752393...But enough about Roseluck
You should vote for MInuette. Here's why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRoX6Yj4zas
>>42752393Rose is the worst Doctor Who companion anyway, even worse than Adric and Dodo
>>42752393God forbid that anyone enjoy something not written by the holy hand of Hasbro. Anons who use terms like "characterization" and "character development" are always vapid empty-brained lemmings who get their opinions from Youtubers.
>>42752393

>>42752437Nice strawman you got there, fan of the fandom.>>42752423>>42752435>>42752446He's talking about Minuette.
>>42752453If you truly weren't a fan of the fandom you wouldn't even be here. Just rewatch the show by yourself.
>>42752447You get mad at seeing this cute pony though
>>42752460Nah
>>42752424What does she smell like?
>>42752473Toothpaste, duh.

>>42752492Nice angryqueef sis
>>42752484where is it? is it behind whatever the fuck that monstrosity is?
>>42752457I'm willing to vote for mares if they have notable fandom characterization, but Rainbowshine doesn't even have that. She's remarkably shallow even by fandom standards. But it doesn't matter now because she's out anyway.
>>42752504>laughing at the fag who can't see cutemares when it's infront of him
Who we votan /mlp/?
>>42752556pinkeyyy
>>42752143Based and same.
>>42752340It’s so incredibly fucking boring. I know you’re being ironic but I am being genuine. We’re basically just having a waiting list of 10 characters who are guaranteed to win the next ones. Literally every single other character out of them is fodder
>>42752621Mind sharing this list?
>Lyra lost>Rainbowshine lost>Lauren lostwhat's even the point of participating nowthe only interesting mare left is Pear Butter
>>42752340>Characters people like consistently make it far in popularity contestsWoah............
>>42752633Pinkie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Celestia, Cheerilee, Nurse Redheart, Octavia, Marble, Maud, and Minuette are all basically guaranteed to be one of the winners of the next tournament or the one after depending on who gets restricted. Then another off this list after that, and so on.
>>42752639I was going to say that the first mom winner would be pretty cool but then I remembered Derpy.
>>42752653well Buttercup is a mother of another Miss /mlp/ so her victory would still be notable
>"Good morning, Roseluck! I would like to buy some... Oh. You have a coltfriend, I see. How wonderful. Really. I'm so happy for you. You deserve this, you really do. Sitting at a market stall all day counting bits must be hard work. Really impactful stuff. Much more important than educating the next generation of foals. How... honorable. You know, I think I'll go get a daffodil and daisy sandwich at the Ponyville Café instead. Have a GREAT day."
>The Princess of Love lost to some mudhorse teacher from the village. LMAO backgroundniggers, are you okay? Nobody even waifus Cheerilee.
I have literally zero interest in voting for the remaining contestants. This sucks.
>>42752672True.
>>42752678I'll spitevote you.
It didn't have to be this way
>>42752639 She's the worst option left. The only one who is 100% guaranteed not winning.
>>42752646>He thinks Rarity is ever winning Miss /mlp/She's going to be jobbing to Toffee Swirl in 2050.
FFS, ya'll don't actually believe a single background pony/fandom darling is a better pony ... a more worthy mare than a named main/secondary character from the show? I get this is /mlp/s tournament but no amount of fandom characterization should supercede what is shown in the show - regardless of one's feelings on it.For example, Limestone as a character is far more interesting than Roseluck who has near zero characterization despite being around since the beginning. Tsundere appeal is eternal no matter what anyone says about it.
It's minnie's time to shine!
>>42752680>virgins voted for the coltfriend-free mare instead of the married mareNah it's totally in line with /mlp/.
>>42752702my dr who expie clears limey sorry
>>42752713Especially with the memes nowadays about her being a bitter marecel, that's making her a better waifu for the average anon.
>>42752678What a fucking marecel. This is why she gets zero dick.
>>42752702This is a fandom and people will sometimes be more attatched to fan made interpretations of the characters. Especially the people who read fics. I personally prefer how almost every character is written in fan works over the show.
>>42752713>married mareAs if that would stop anybody. Just look at Pear Butter, she made it to the next round, even though she's not only married, she's also fucking dead.
>>42752702Based. Fuck backgroundfaggots.
>>42752731I voted for Pear Butter because I like her mane
The best part of these tournaments is watching Anons cope over mares like Cheerilee, Marble, and Redheart being popular waifus every year without fail.
>>42752738It is really pretty.
>>42752739>Cheerilee, Marble, and RedheartNone of these are popular waifus
>>42752742Offboarder detected
>>42752742Funny joke, Anon. Lurk moar.
>>42752739>being popular waifusNobody. Literally nobody waifus Cheerilee.
>>42752754It's true, the scmoopy faggot is just a ritual shitpost
>>42752754https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/41939014/#q41942479If you weren't an offboarder you would also know that an especially autistic Cheerileefag distracted half of the board schizos earlier this week with a Cheerilee thread. https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/42734376
>>42752766Not a cheerilee thread, so as I was saying. There is no one who waifus her
>>42752772https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/41939014/#q41942479Ignoring my first link, hm? It's okay not to like her, but this level of seethe is unprecedented.
>>42752775One autist owning a plushy =/= popular waifu, or even a waifufag.
>>42752766>MUH THREADSCadance has a dozen times more threads than Cheerilee.
>>42752727Curious, so then which do you prefer:>Twilight, the shy, introverted, pathetic whiny baby that constantly apologizes to others despite being a god among mortals or>Twilight, the socially awkward savant who everyone accepts and loves despite how rough she is when dealing with others.Or, perhaps:>Minuette, the sadistic dentist with nigh omniscience and maybe a connection to Dr. Who, or>Minuette, the bubbly and sweet mare who lets bygones be bygones and is a great friend.All of these interpretations are from fanon so where are they represented in these tournaments?The only uniting factor is what we see in the show. Whether you love it or hate it, that is what defines a character; otherwise, this tournament is a meaningless farce where everyone votes for their own headcanon.
>>42752778The Hearts and Hooves Day Dinner threads are SPECIFICALLY for waifufags, Anon. Why do you insist on exposing yourself as a newfag? Type "Cheerileefag" into Desu to get more examples.
Cadance, Rainbowshine, Rarity, and NMM got rekt.
>>42752781>this tournament is a meaningless farce where everyone votes for their own headcanon.Welcome to /mlp/, where the ponies are made up and the score doesn't matter!
>>42752782Go look up the rarity and /a/ pic. All waifufags are perfomative. Nobody waifus Cheerilee
>>42752788Oh. So you're trolling. Got it. Your "seethe" makes sense now. I'm not going to give you what you want anymore, have fun shitting up the thread.
>>42752766See >>42752780Now kys
Man my timezone fucking suck ass, always missing picture nominations and pretty much most happenings. I was going to nominate pic related.
>>42752791What a knee jerk reaction, you're not a Rar/a/fag are you?
>>42752766So Cheerilee only has one fucking waifufag, and that's most likely you? Wow, she's such a popular pony.
>>42752766>Cheerilee thread. https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/42734376Are you retarded? This is not a Cheerilee thread, it's a human supremacy thread.
>>42752801You must be a Cadancefag planning to spitevote against the mare that defeated your waifu. Too bad for you, but she's going to win it this year.
A lot more anons have a problem with Candyass existing in the show than they do with Cheerilee so of course she'd be spitevoted. Simple as.
She always lives up to her name.
>>42752781this retard thinks every character only has two depictions in fan works
>>42752810So you're saying that Cheerilee won because she's irrelevant and not controversial?
Let's stop beating around the bush here: Cheerilee only garners favor due to her attachments to Celestia (her voice actor) and Big Mac (a potential love interest/cock sock) otherwise there is nothing else interesting about her as a character.
>>42752818>t. twiboorgor supremacy fag
>>42752809>CadancefagNo, but I voted for Cadance, my wife won a long time ago.>spitevoteYes, I will spitevote. I think Cheerilee doesn't deserve to be in the top 8.

>>42752938Oh she has no shot. I voted for her but yeah, it's gonna be 60-40.
>>42752118The first time where both are in but no meeting, damnGuess better take Minny all the way then..
