Repost from last thread:Sappy Song, a follow up question - you mention in the form you have all 4DE and Symbiote plushies, where do you stand in terms of pony plushies from other sources I.E. OlyFactory/MPPP, custom jobs, etc.?>>42788499Still need one for my new name this year. Hoping for a mare with wings of some sort, but that's the only real desire I have for how the OC looks.

>>42788499Don't really have a clue where to go with this name, if you want you can have a go at it.
>>42788639Yes. Best Pone. Best Mare.

Hey Gibbous Gallop!Do you like wearables such as shirts? Also, plushies? Caww!!
>>42788744I remember when I was a kid and I was at an insurance agency in the bathroom while my parents were out talking to the boring insurance people, there was a little cactus on the sink, and I was like, "hmm, do they actually hurt?"So, I grabbed the cactus.Yeah, they actually do hurt. Sorry eddy, but it's me who was clearly the smartest baby of 1996.
>>42788613She’s so pretty!
>>42788613So cute! I love it, thank you so much!
>>42788613We need art of this mare hugging the cactus mare NOW.
>>42788262Woohoo! sorry I missed this in the last bread but i am so excited already

>>42788499Would love one maybe a mare with a soft green or brown coats qnd a smokey color mqne and obv fluffy fetlocks. A bit of a gloomy mare.

SHAVE TAIL SHIMMY DON'T YOU FREAKING DARE OPEN THIS SPOILER OR I'LL COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND MOLEST YOU IN YOUR SLEEP!In absence of knowing whether my Santee prefers electric or acoustic, I was forced to guess. We've started with a primer, but soon we will Baconate this geetar.
Sassafrass Glass!I ordered your gifts!I've got a couple things I know I'll make for you as we get a bit closer to the day, but the hard part is over.Now we wait.
>>42789124I'm not Shave Tail Shimmy, but can you come to my house next?
Question for my Santa, you didnt send me anything yet did you? I missed a package that I wasn't expecting that I was supposed to sign for, but when I went to pick it up, they didnt have anything that matched my name>>42788495>>42788602>>42788653>>42788911>>42789120Hello Derpy
>>42788975Hey there! Found you! I'm your Santa this year /)
>>42789185Hello, Anonymous.
>>42788603I have all of the MPPP (outside of varity). I don't believe I have any Olys.I few customs, but I always love more plush.Sorry I missed this in last thread, been traveling a bit.
>>42788854>Sorry eddy, but it's me who was clearly the smartest baby of 1996.I watched the first part of that video, but I was disappointed when it turned out he was just larping and didn't actually go insane
So sad that Pony Claus was tortured to death by being forced to listen to Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You on loop for three days straight. Now Horsemas is canceled ^:(
>someone reselling a bundle of 5 NIB symbiote plushies for symbiote selling price ($30)>"how about $140 instead of $150"I feel slightly insulted
>>42789314All good, all good my friend. Everything is going well with your gift, just wanted to check in case there may be something else I can slip in.
>Santee likes AryanneI don't.. I don't want to fulfill that part of the gift. Am I obligated to? They've listed other ponies they like too of course, and I've put plenty of that in there. Do I even mention to them in the gift about wanting to avoid it?
>>42789360heres your first (You), free of charge
>>42789365thanks but I can give myself (You)'s. Like this >>42789360Now that I think about it, the question answers itself honestly.
>>42788971as a femanon physical nsfw pony Doujinshimake it Shining Armor/ Twilight thats the straightst ship ever
>>42789360Send a Galilfilly/Fillisrael/whatever instead. If it was me - and it's not - I'd appreciate the contrarian shitpostpony.
>>42789360send a Zeeb Aryanne or Aryanne getting Zeebed
>>42789360No, just ignore it anonIf there are other ponies listed, then do those and ignore the Aryanne bit completely You don't have to gift every single item or every single pony listed My Santee had listed last year like 20 ponies, some very rare, so I couldn't do all of them either
>>42789382>Shining Armor/ Twilightuhhhh kino alert
>>42788899My Santa is here!!! Thank you for checking in to the thread! Fluttershy GOAT!
>>42788971The thing is that the vast majority of femanons here are lesbians or bisexuals with a slight tendency toward lesbianism.Unless your femanon has made it clear that she is straight.
>>42788500Ok fine I'll clean it (tomorrow)
>>42789430Was there a survey your referencing which I missed quizzing people on their sexuality, or are you just assuming most femanons are bi because of all the mare pussy on the board.
>>42789441As a bi femanon I can confidently say there is a low chance that straight femanons would even consider being here.
Oh. That's alot bigger than I thought it would be.
>>42789502is that celestia's futa cock?
>>42789065>Remember to poke air holeGod damnit that last one got me>>42789124I hope you'll post more progress of that Anon, It's fantastic>>42789497Poni are for grown adult human males, as Celestia intended.
>>42788500I can't! I'm prepping packages still!I may have taken on more Santees than I bargained for.
>>42789555Mass Santas are more baseder than Mass MailersSending a gift to everyone that signed up
>>42789502That’s what she said.
>>42789185Nope, didn't send anything yet. I'm planning to send your gifts hopefully by the 1st week in December.
>>42789566Oh uh.. they didn't sign up- they missed sign up or outright said "Nah didn't think I wanted to be a part of this year for [reason or another]"but they're my (Friends?) and I also thought it would be nice to give them something for being nice to me and to have them still feel that holiday cheer. If I could have more than one Santee or even take on a Santee that never got their Santa in thread/got grinched, I would and still will though!I'm no richfag, and i'm swiftly running out of pony to gift.. but still. I like this community. I like (You) anons. I like strangers, and don't mind shilling out a few bucks to make someone out there happyShe would be proud of me I think
>>42789576You could sign up for grinch rescue if you wanna
>>42789580Wasn't that one of the prompts in the sign up? I think I checked that option if so. If not, guess I'll email Pony Claus again? I wanna get them a gift too to by honest. Arranging this whole thing (Cardsloot too) feels like its a lot more deserving of a gift.
>>42789497OK I DO NOT want to turn the /ss/ thread into crystal cafe woman whining about bullshit but I consider myself straight and into normal dudes...... in theoryBut in practice I'm celibate never even held hands with someone and I'm 25! 25!!!!And I do try! I told a man in a tanktop at work just last month I loved his arms and the tanktop was a great choice! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-HpaCcvpxE I gotta open up to the idea of dating apps or long distance I guess sigh
>>42789626>human women participating in /ss/Guess I'm grinching
>>42789626Found the femcel.Jokes aside, compliments are great and that dude probably felt very good about it, but try to be the one offering him to go get a drink out or something. I don't want to imply incel theory but me and most dudes I know are downright afraid to ask a girl out because we fear being labelled as creeps.
>>42789626eyyyy bb come to california I can dissapoint you ;^)
>>42789360Grinch alert
>>42789502That's what she said
>>42789626>25Dear dudess, youre not surprising anyone here with this number.32, willingly gave up all interest in relationship, because of certain pony when i was 19.
>>42789360>I don't.. I don't want to fulfill that part of the gift. That's why they listed other ponies. Any sensible Aryannefag, fillyfag, etc. will understand the controversial nature of their likes, and will probably have included alternatives for this exact reason.>Do I even mention to them in the gift about wanting to avoid it?No, that would make you a whiny faggot and/or disappoint them more. Just finesse that part and don't call attention to it.You can dislike a thing without having to tell people that you dislike a thing.
>santee only likes rare mares and OCsWhat do? Is it possible to become an artfag overnight?
>>42789779Commissions
>>42789784Tell me if I'm being retarded but unless it's from their favorite artist, just buying a comm sort of feels like paying someone else to do all the work while I stick my thumb up my ass
>>42789800You're being retarded. Getting a commission is more involved than buying merch.
>>42789773>sensible>fillyfagImpossible.
>>42789807You're right, I think I'm just panicking a little. I want to be a good santa
>>42789800I get what you are saying. I am not super good at art but I would rather draw with the tip of my dick before I pay someone else to make me art.
>>42789065That list goes hard. >>42789124Kino gift in the making. >>42788500Decluttering is a pain in the ass. Would appreciate a cute mare helping me, plox.>>42789800Receiving custom art is something most anons will enjoy. And you are involved in the process by telling the artist what to draw: Which pony/ponies, what mood, lineart vs. colorized, and what's happening on that pic. It could range from a pleasant pony portrait to ponifying a bizarre meme. And if you want to feel even more involved, you can send your santee the commissioned art plus a "put it on the fridge" - tier doodle you made yourself, it shows that you care. One of my favorite gifts was a commissioned artwork.
>>42789779>>>/bale/
>>42789773>That's why they listed other poniesProbably far less controversial, but in my case I included a short paragraph on a non-MLP show, that has been discussed on the board a couple of times, on the off chance my santa is someone who liked that show too. I appended a quick note along that anyone else could feel free to completely ignore that paragraph.But if people read wishlists as "You have to get me all this stuff" instead of "You could get me any of these and I'd be happy" that might explain why I haven't heard from my santa. Or I could have come off as to whiny because I included a few notes on stuff to avoid. Though I'd argue almost all of that would be redundant had I picked SFW only, instead of allowing more and excluding some things.
>>42789773>You can dislike a thing without having to tell people that you dislike a thing.He's a libshit with troll's remorse. No, he can't. He MUST announce his retardation to the world for asspats.https://derpibooru.org/images/3539974>>42788491Hey, Pony Claus, you should set aside grinch rescue for whoever you assigned dhm for. Dhm already went full retard once - chances are he'll do it again, and if somehow not, you'll have more supplies for rescuing others.
>>42789360Next time you fill out the sign up form, explicitly mention that you don't want an Aryannefag, then you'll avoid this situation. Win win.But you have to take a deep breath and think about what you're doing for this Santee of yours. If Aryanne is their actual waifu, receiving no Ary-related merch at all will not go unnoticed. If you can't even accept Aryanne with a blank pink heart CM, there are still ways to send something to make an Aryfag happy without involving politics:Does your Santee have plushies (of Ary)? Gift him a scarf and socks that could be worn by anypony, so you can just imagine e.g. Anonfilly wearing them instead. Maybe a little trinket of an Edelweiß flower. A handcrafted medal that playfully makes fun of his edgy taste in ponies. Make the packaging Oktoberfest themed. A children's book in German. Just ask him what he likes about Ary aside from the nazi stuff, and work from there. A Secret Santa generally isn't the right place for political warfare. During WW1, German and British soldiers put away their guns during the Christmas holidays, climbed out of the trenches, and bonded for a short while. They traded rations, smoked, showed photos of their loved ones to each other, played cards and football. After the holidays, they were forced to commence killing each other. Let's all be like those soldiers: Be human, for Horsemas.
>>42787557>anthroPlease, don'tI'm glad to hear everything goes nicely. I need to start work on my main gift too.
>>42789436>>42789555The consequences of this action will be paid for dearly.>>42789836You came to the right mare, buddy!
Snake Pizen the Lamia!A couple of questions.What size of shirts do you wear? What is your favourite color? Do you like sweets?
>>42789862Well, thats a meltdown if i ever saw one. I met one Aryannefag, that was relatively nice person, but taking serously the idea of said pony outside of an absurd joke is pretty retarded and a sign of extremely narrow and/or delusional mind. Have some self-awareness, man. I'd even namefag for that to see where this would go.
>>42789664That's an understatement, a compliment can make someone's entire decade.
We were long due for another drama
>>42781789>>42787924Hey Rowdy-dow RuckusSorry for the late reply, my friend was checking the spoilers and said it was ok for me to check them out. Thanks so much for doing that.Spoiler 1: I haven't played Carcasonne before, it looks interesting. I'm up to trying anything. I more play RPG tabletop, I'm running a Tales of Equestria game now and I've also played d&d, PF and CoC. Spoiler 2: that's a hard choice to make. I love all three of them. If I had to choose one probably Anonfilly. But Derpy and Autumn Blaze are fantastic mares.Spoiler 3: I have the symbiote plushies of Rainbow Dash and Luna, I have the Verity coin and I have two G1 Anonfillys. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I appreciate the effort and I really look forward to seeing what you send me.
>>42789591Rescues happen as they're reported and confirmed. Make sure to photograph your gift before sending.
>>42789626Wanna get married?
Gift received! It will be stored in a safe location until the day of the Great Opening. Thank you!
>>42789626Do NOT trust this poster.She's probably a fed and is just going to be nice to you and give you money to buy a gun and radicalize you and her name is Daryl and he works on the fifth floor and his closure rate is bullshit.
Reposting in new thread. Here's your OC Winter Web the Spider Pone! She looks creepy but she's a big sweetheart
>>42790425>8 leg pits
>>42790425honestly if i saw that damn thing in my living room i'd stomp on it until it was a small brown stain
>>42790430what if she looked up at you like picrel??
>>42790425Oh my, what a cutie!>>42790430Do not hurt spiderfren.
I see that we are having some contentious discussions in this thread, so if you’ll allow me to throw in my two bits worth with my own personal thoughts; although I do understand that things can be complicated and I understand why people feel both ways about the subject: I prefer hot cocoa with whipped cream on top rather than marshmallows.>>42789332Picrel
>>42789497as a straight femanon I say shut the fuck up faggot
>>42790383wtf how are people getting gifts already
>>42790486>PC is into crimmus store music on loopTruly, you're a weapon to surpass Metal Gear.
Reposting this qt piece of my OC. It'd be super if someone wants to redraw her in a format more suitable for the group pic!>>42789159Yay! Can't wait!I should also get off my ass and order the final pieces. And also sort out the fucked up customs situation of what I already ordered. Amazon can go fuck itself, preferably with a rusty spoon.
>>42790486No topping, pan dulce on the side.
>>42790501I have like 3 mashups/remixes of it on my workout playlist, chrimbus songs are the best. >>42790540Mmm, that does sound good.
>Still no callout from SantaI ain't gonna make it guys...
>>42777384Well (You) are well medicated at this point. Maybe too much at this point. I sure hope you don't go outside when it's raining and start killing pe-oh crap you're doing just that aren't you. You know what? Fine. Go for it.You're on this board, you're on this site, you're not the average person. If you're like >>42789626 this anon, you're also likely not very brave. What is the most brave or courageous thing (You)'ve done in your life? Bonus question: how would you like to be more brave?Whether you answer here or in email, contact me at cowboybootlegsanta at gmail so you can get the MEGA link. Another SNES rom so your SNES emulator of choice from two threads back will be fine. No bonus points for answering the bonus question, it is simply an insight into (You).
>>42790624Forgot to mention, I added Parallel Worlds to this one. It's not an easy romhack but I like it. Was pretty popular.
>>42790624Love link to the past.I do a rando every now and then, of course using derp.
>>42788140Dreamer Do! I saw your post and wanted to say I can't wait to see what you come up with!
I already sent my package to my santee, but question. I heard a lot about a service called Pirate Ship that allows you to save money on shipping, how does it work?
Hello Shiny ShowersI've ordered something to have as a gift in case life lifes too hard and leaves me with no time to make something. So you at least will be getting something for Horsemas
>>42790678>go to website>save on shippingThat's how. If you are US and sending international, you should open up a chat with them and ask for the "Simple Export Rate" which as of the last time I used it, let me mail anywhere in the world for about $11.
>>42790678>>42790680It's a little more than $11 nowadays, and also weight based, as usualhttps://www.pirateship.com/simple-export-rate
I wonder how many people think I'm femanon because I got way too in character as cookie last year
>>42790679It's always good to have a backup plan.>looks at my own gift project pileN-no stress at all...
>>427906940% if you keep screaming about sucking dick anons dont think your a chick just a fag.
>>42790383I'm glad it arrived! I really hope you like it!
>>42785417I love this mare. Thank you Anon!
>>42790680>>42790684And when I go to the website, how do I use the Pirateship rate when I go to my local UPS store?
>>42790730So you actually purchase the label directly from pirate ship, print it out and tape it to your parcel, and it’s good to go. So not only does it save you money but you also get to skip waiting in line and just drop the parcel off at the ready-to-mail counter.
>>42790730here you go anonYou print it yourself or mail it to your UPS service point for them to print it for you for a feehttps://support.pirateship.com/en/articles/5604563-how-do-i-create-a-ups-label#:~:text=Pirate%20Ship.-,Print%20your%20UPS%20label,-Printing%20your%20label
>>42790738>>42790740mivehind
Happy your package arrived un-molested by the post Rowdy Outlaw, hope you enjoy all the goodies.
>>42790738Oh follow up, it also makes international shipping a lot easier because you can do the customs form online instead of getting the slip from the post office and filling it out there. I love Pirate ship. Has saved me so much money over this event.
>>42790624>What's the bravest thing you have ever said?"Help." Asking for help isn't giving up. It's REFUSING to give up.
I am happy to report my gift making has seen some progress today and even more seems possible tomorrow.
>>42790428>7 spidussies
>>42790680>>42790684Do I just need to drop off the package at my post office then even if it uses a UPS postage?
>>42790808Anon, please use your brain.
>>42790808>Buy a voucher for a prepaid Double Whopper and Onion Rings meal from Burger King>Go into Wendy's to redeem itAnon, I...
>>42790808>GO>TO>THE>UPS>STOOOORE
>>42790827>>42790885>>42790939I am a retard.
>>42790808Pirate Ship works with both UPS and USPS, if they both have deals available you can choose whichever one you want.
>>42790738>>42790740I don't have a label maker, does it still work if I print it out on paper and then tape it to the package? Also does this mean I have to weigh the package myself? I don't have a good small scale, maybe I could get one next time
>>42791110>print it out on paper and then tape it to the packageYes>weigh the package myselfYes
>>42791110Cover the whole label with strips of clear tape if you can, that way it won't get all fucked up
It's Sandpiper! She's technically a neet but will only go outside for birds
>>42791151Ouugh, cute glasses gorl...
>>42791153I sure love a mare with glasses
>>42791110For the weight, buy a scale off of amazon, you can get one that can calculate up to ~65lbs for about $20 ( https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Basics-Counting-Function-Readability/dp/B085217NHG/ ). The scale is useful for other things (ie. can be used to weigh dry goods for cooking, etc).As for the label, yes you can print it out with plain paper, but I'd recommend that you cover the label with clear packing tape to protect it a bit better.
>>42791158I mean, you can just be cheap and stand on your usual bathroom scale to take your own weight, then do it again while holding the package
>>42791161this is what I do, I use a kitchen scale for small packages. sometimes I just guesstimate the weight of the package and say fuck it. if you pay too much pirateship will refund you and will charge you later if you pay too little
>>42791161>I have a bathroom scaleNigga, I'm fat. I'd break a standard bathroom scale.
>>42790743Rowdy Outlaw's package may be unmolested by the post, but a certain sumthin' of hers sure ain't bein' unmolested by Candy Bandit if ya know what I mean~
>>42791110If you know the density of the package, you can calculate the weight from its dimensions
>>42791151Oh no. I'm in love.
Hey Candlelight Archive, 'lil update for you - I've got some stuff ordered for you and eagerly awaiting the mail ponies to fly them on over. Thinking about potential extra goodies for you - could you elaborate a little more on what you like about your top-listed mares to help give me ideas beyond expanding your very impressively large toy/figurine collection? The more detailed and autistic the better!>>42788499I'll drop my snarky Bri'ish bartender amre here for any interested drawfags, only after the currently mare-less anons get theirs of course.
ITS JUST MORE SOUP
>>42791158That's a good idea! Maybe I ought to get this scale.>>42791161You have no idea how cheap my usual bathroom scale is. It's a piece of junk.>>42791220That's very good of them! In that case maybe I don't even need a scale and can just guesstimate and leave all the actual calculations to them, and let them refund me or charge me afterwards (as long as they don't take a percentage).
>>42788106Those are awesome Bitter Bean! I really like the Luna painting a lot. I remember seeing your art from previous Secret Santa events too. Thanks for sharing those!

Lever Action Fashion,An update here in the thread for (You) from your Secret Santa! Everything is now bought, it's all a matter when they get made and ship here in time for me to wrap it all into one great big gift. The biggest crown jewel of the gift is probably going to be the biggest bottle neck. Hooves crossed it gets made and ships in time, but the last time I ordered from these guys, I was able to get it out the door.How're you doing on your santa gift for your santee?
Shoofly Shush the Changeling, how do you feel about crotchtits? love them? hate them? want to squish them?
Good marefternoon, Baked Bean Sheen!! I'm your Santa this year and I had a couple of questions for ya. I got some ideas churning in this ol' noggin and I wanted get some more amplifying info from you. What are your favorite fimfics that hover around 5,000 words?Do you have any Symbiote Studios plushies?Do you own any (functional) scarves?
>>42791586Hey there Santa, glad to hear about the update. Don't worry about the timing of the gifts and when they'll arrive, I'm not heading anywhere this holiday season and I'm in no rush. I look forward to unwrapping and posting what I'll be sent from you.As for my progress with the gift to my santee (who I've named anonymously), I've got some items ready (pre-purchased from earlier this year), some items ordered, and I need to get around with testing how to create some of the art items I want to try to make. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get things all set in time to ship.
>>42791151So THAT's where the term came from
Every /ss/ looking at fabric and thread I feel so colour blindwhat fucking swatch here is RETRACTED coat colour theres so much blues! FUCK!Dose it even fucking matter if its shaped into their waifu it could be made from my gold shinny fabric and Anon would love it I'm sure.
>>42787613A bug queen to dethrone Chryssy. She'd eat her for breakfast. I bet the skittlebugs would probably be tastier, though.She's so pretty, I love her! Thank you!
>>42790425Double posting because I missed this one. Sorry I took a minute, I started a new job this week and it's been a little crazy. Thank you thank you, she's such a cutie!
>>42789626you can fuck literally anyone or anything you wanted, if you asked for that guy's number he would've given it, meanwhile we're all told now approaching girls is the weirdest thing you can dothis loneliness is an effort of your own creation and stagnation, and if you want "normal", then stop complaining about being weird on this fucking site and go be "normal" already.
I am back after a small absence and starting some work on my stuff for my Santee, looking forward to it as this is my first time. Rare I do handmade stuff so I been putting in some research.
My Santa just killed me, does this count as a grinching?
>>42791785Picking fabric colors can be difficult. Just get a screencap of their favorite pony and compare it to this little chart, I have found it quite handy. As far as threads go, they shouldn't ever see the thread too much so just pick the closest color to the fabric.I’m sure they’ll like whatever you make as long as you make it with love!
>>42791922Did he throw a witty line at you before doing it?
>>42791631I love crotchtits. Not like air blimp size, average size is just right. I always find them aesthetically pleasing.
>>42790490That made my day.
>>42791922Did you want to die?
>>42791952noted, based and crotch-tit pilled
Dreamer Do, this is your santa. Im working on some ideas and will try to make something unique for your favorite pony. I'll also try to include something for some of the others you've listed. I probably won't post much after this, but I will be following the threads.
>>42788785I do, though for shirts I tend to like more understated designs, but i know that isnt most shirts available. Really any cool pony shirts would be cool - I can always justify wearing something louder or crazy at consI also do like plushes! I have many of the Symbiote plushes already.
Yo Oak Roasted. Do you perfer your twilights winged or og?
>>42791922did he kill you as your favorite pony?
>>42791637Ah, aloha! Let me see if I can't answer some of these for ya'!Fimfics around 5,000 words? I don't really pay too much attention to the word count and more-so go by ones with topics I like. I can't remember the name of one of the spicier ones I read, but it had to do with a mare and some popsicles (she can a little vending cart) if you can imagine what happens afterwards. That was a few years back, but I believe it was much shorter.I love the NEET mares - especially Floor Bored. I enjoyed reading the Princess Floorb green that was in the NEET thread a month or two back. I'll slurp up anything that features them.I also really like comedy stuff, which may explain the spicy popsicle fic. Dyx is also pretty entertaining but again that's probably being reiterated from my Celestia passion.I'll be honest and admit I haven't read any fanfics in a bit. I just finished reading through Heinlein's Starship Troopers and am currently reading through Kilworth's Attack on the Redan, a Crimean War fiction novel.I don't recall if I mentioned what literature I have, so I'll list off some of the stuff I've got:Horse Pussy (vol. 1 & 2), FoE (Black Book and a standard edition), Princess Celestia: The Changeling Queen, The Mare Who Once Lived on the Moon, The Art of Holivi (an art book from Lunar Shine), the Pegasus Device, Space Ponyos 1, Out of Work Derpy, FoE: Chain Reaction, and one or two Japanese MLP dojin that I can't pronounce tucked away in a dark corner, free from prying eyes.I own one Symbiote, that being Princess Celestia - snatched her up in a heartbeat when I saw she was on sale.Functional scarves? I've got a fairly thin Sunset Shimmer one, a Mare Fair '25 scarf, and the 3-star 4CC scarf in both patterns.In terms of any other additional information I may have left out: I'm a big sucker for vidya games, Source engine stuff (L4D2 mainly), and other sandbox-style games (Garry's Mod, Project Zomboid, etc.) Also quite big into 19th century history (primarily uniforms). Not particularly pony-related, but figured it could help out. Just let me know if you need any additional information and I'll be here!
>>42791785I painted a ceramic S1 luna for my santee last year and I basically had to mix all of the colors myself since we didn't have any that matched
>>42791927>get a screencap of their favorite pony and compare itThat's kinda what I did, just adding bits of purple and blue and white to the paint while staring at a chart of woona colorsI even did it on a CRT for maximum color autism and not just because a CRT is what I put where I paint because it's so easy to clean paint off of the glass screen
Hey guys out of curiosity, are bap ponies able to walk on clouds?
>>42790490as a straight faggot I say based
>>42791151She's fantastic! Love it so much, thank you!
Hell yeah, I've just done about 75% of the art for my Santee, I should be done by tomorrow or day after, and than it can be rolled to the shirt printing press.I'm still waiting for more stuff to arrive from over seas but I should had all of it ready before end of November.
Small update on your gift Whistle Berry.It is starting to come together. Waiting on a few things and then to tie it all together in a complete way.
>>42792109>>42792122even hasbro has no clue what colour Luna is
Drift Wagon no peeking whenever I'm buying gifts for someone it's typically customary for me to include a gag gift as well. And I think I've just found it
Caramel Swing.DON'T UNSPOIL ANYTHING, but letting you know that your gift is coming along great, got some things ordered too that I'm waiting for, so I'm on track to send stuff by the end of the month. You mentioned that you had a few OCs in your wishlist. I'm no Batsy, but I do dabble in /bale/ if you wanted to either post them here or get Pony Claus to send them to me.Finding a box is gonna be a bitch this year.

>>42792159All mares have baps you silly goose, so clearly not as seen in the show.
>>42792487What a weird gag, but I suppose cramming enough puzzle pieces in someone's mouth will do the job. Still weird. No kinkshaming, but weird.
Shoofly Shush the Changeling DO NOT UNSPOIL OR PEANUT WILL HAUNT YOUR HOUSE AND YOUR DREAMStraditional lewd Chrissy things are happening
>>42792487I will be good and not unspoil
Sterling Shadow! UPDATE: Your package is nearly complete, just getting the last touches done and- well one or two things ordered. Considering your *location* it may or may not be late, in the sense that it may arrive around the 2nd week or december? Maybe sooner depending on other stuff. I dunno.
>>42787323Hi Crystal Cruet! Thanks for the update!Hmm, I like arts and crafts. Drawing, painting, sewing, etc.I don't play a whole lot of games
>mfw something i ordered for my gift will not be here for two more weeksi wasn't going to send it until the first of december anyway but it sucks knowing it won't be complete for at least two more weeks
>>42792872I'm gonna need some good vibes, boys. I just found out there's at least two major plumbing problems i need to somehow find the money to get fixed.
>>42792872You are like a little baby.A major piece is my gift won't make it to me until the 2nd week of December at the earliest.
>>42789994My shirt size is MColor is BlueSweets Yes
She's decided on a bit of a new look (her name is Snow Roper and her hair is like a snow cloud and its in a ponytail very clever I know) but her color scheme is a work in progress. Just an update for Bullwhip Blizzard, everything's going well. I've got a little something here and a little something still coming (and a little something still being made). Everything will be sent before the month is out. I've just realized I haven't asked about any merch you've already got, particularly for Pinkie or Derpy - I doubt I'll be double dipping but feel free to mention if there's anything you really don't need more of, like specific plushies or whatever.

>>42791922What did he kill you with?
>>42792515Looks like I'm not the only one who's fresh out of boxes and had to order a fresh one too.
>mfw no Santa callout
>>42792074Ok, here's what I'm thinking.I've been told I've got quite the voice for voice overs and wanted to record myself reading some stories and burn them to a cd for you. The reason I say 5,000 is because that's about a 20-30 minute read depending and I'm not sure how much of me you'd want to listen to. I am a little uncomfortable with doing voice overs for smut stories, however. Secondly, do you know about a NEET mare named Doomy Gloom? She appears in the NEET threads quite often. Purple, black curly hair, and a signature 4 leaf clover.I suppose I won't be getting you a plushie, in fact that Celestia one was the idea, but you're getting something fitting to go with her.Along with that, you're getting a signature shirt a friend of mine and I designed to wear at MareFair. Another guy won mine at the panel I hosted.And, as such, I'm commissioning some special art for you too. There'll be prints AND possibly clothing for the prints to go on. Which leads me to ask, do you have an OC and any art of them?P.S.: I know guy who absolutely could've designed a 19th century military get-up for your Celestia, but his gay ass is stuck sailing until next summer.
>>42790490If dueling gets brought back, this is how the challenge should be issued
>>42789626>I gotta open up to the idea of dating apps or long distance I guess sighFemanon, femanon dear lord please don't. Save yourself the trouble. Be the mare you see in the mirror.
>>42792515If you wanted to give my horses a go I'll happily send em Pony claus way! I haven't looked but I have nothing but confidence I'll be blown away by whatever you're putting together for me this year! To my santee! Your bits are coming together, just trying to think of the best method of presenting and sending it!
>>42790062Thank you, no worries about the late reply.>that's a hard choice to makeIf it is that close of a choice I might just overwrite the choice depending on other factors (Don't unspoiler) Mixing colors when I can only see the resulting color two weeks later is always such a gamble.
>>42793484It's starting to look a lot like grinchmas
>>42789360Send them a p38
>>42793713At least we can safely click on spoilers in this thread without having to worry that those aren't for us. That's at least something?Right?
>>42793484Same here. It's whatever, I get so hung up on making and sending my gift I barely think about receiving one.

>>42793890Do not worry CardSlut you got this. Take your time and don't rush it. Like with Pony Claus, we rather have a happy CardSlut than a stressed one.
>>42793012Ahoy Snow! Loving the hair on this ponyFor Pinkie I already have two plushies of her! Derpy, surprisingly, not a single bit of merch (just a small print that she's in!)I do like me some plushies or figurines (can never have enough of those), but honestly a shirt or something wearable sounds cool as well! I like oversized shirts like XL or larger
>>42792639Not that pony but holy fuck this looks amazing
i'm so sorry for inadvertently being the reason you're all dealing with Kiln's Autism
I received the side gift, the extra gift, and I'm done with the bonus gifts. Now I'm waiting to receive the materials needed to craft the main gift...
Prickly Pear, I have a few interesting questions for you. If you had to be tied with a bit of... something, would you rather it be a more traditional knit, or something silkier? Also, do you have any vidya interests, genre, console, etc.? Lastly, do you have any allergies to latex or silicone?
>>42794116Anon, what did you do?
>>42794129Exposed the board to an Autism which then found this seasonal thread.I didn't expect her to go full namefag, ok?
>>42794133do not take credit for my autism it's been on and off since 2014also>herlol
Banana Pancakes, could you post your favorite Fluttershy fanfic (or 5, I don't mind), I would like to use that as inspiration for your gift.
I got a questionHow do you feel about giving your Santee a custom made plushie? Especially if he is a first year around?I know few years back there was that one faggot who put the plushie onto ebay as soon as he got it and I'd rather that not happening. I kinda want to be sure it is taken care of and it gets a good home
>>42794352I would die if I got a custom plush. I say go for it. I've been participating in the event for years going all out for my santee as possible, the worst thing I had happen to me was one person not posting their gift or acknowledging that they got it. ghosting hurts but you can't let one bad apple spoil what you do for the next person. reselling gifts is very rare. spec is a special kind of asshole for selling what he got. I'm like 99% sure he got banned from the event for that
>>42794116Hi cookie mom!
>>42794352if I got a custom plushie id kms myself because im insecure and i care what people think your names green anon and i care what you thinkwish you could turn back timeto the pre-gift dayswhen i my santees gift didnt feel like i went cheap
>>42794352I do the plushie myself, and I feel sorry for the Anon receiving that bootleg monstrosity. So far tho the Anons seemed happy, so I'm doing it again this year.
UK /ss/ MEETUPFollowing the success of last year, I'd like to gauge interest in another meet-up for the UK denizens of /ss/. Dates and location TBC, will most likely be a Saturday pub crawl in London as that's probably the most workable solution for everyone, open to any other suggestions.Stick a (You) on this post if you're interested with your available dates and any suggestions for locations and/or activities. I'll make a more "official" sign-up once the date/location is confirmed.>Nov 22>Nov 29>Dec 6>Dec 13>Dec 20
>>42794352I got one couple hosemas back and it's one of my most beloved merch items. It's by no means the best looking one, but it's got soul and really feels made with love. Naturally she earned a spot at my desk where I see her every day.
>>42794473>London
>>42794485Would you share a pic of your plush, Anon?
>>42794473>another meet-up for the UK denizens of /ss/ya>>42794491>>Londonbut also this
>>42794507Sure, it's the left most one.
>>42794473If we're voting, I vote 20th December
>>42794515That's a great smile, I love her!
>>42794121>tying up>siliconeNot him, but Anon, what are you planning to do?!
>>42794473Last year was kind of a bust for me since I ended up getting too busy to drop in, but this year I'm hoping to actually make it to this. Probably would be smart to go December 6th or 13th so you don't get too swamped with Christmas tourists.
>>42794491>>42794510I'd love to hear any better suggestions for a city/town that's easy to access for everyone - it's tough to know the optimal location without also knowing exactly where everyone is. Reading, Oxford, Cambridge, Leicester etc could also be some somewhat more "central" options - you've got a good chance of influencing the venue if you say it with a loud enough voice.>>42794521Not voting per-se, rather indicating what days you can do. You can select multiple and indicate your first choice.
>>42794473hi /brit/, are you going to suggest the Monty Pyke Saturday at 7pm again?
>>42794590Reading is good. Good transport links, and less likely to be stabbed, blown up, mugged, fined, raped or killed.
>>42794352I could see being suspicious of a first year santee, I'd fuckin love a Cookie plush but draconies are kinda complex compared to normal poniesand then if she was big enough i would be tempted to fuck her and how hypocritical would that be>PR0Nyes captcha i know
>>42794352Wait, what was that plushie?
>>42794473Any weekend other than the 6th works for me.
>>42794603That was by far the best troll I've ever been subjected to - a fun trip where good times were had despite that Anon's nefarious intentions.>>42794618>>42794583Noted
>>42794352you're asking a question you already know the answer to, it depends on the person.ive had this little faggot for 8 years, and have cuddled her gay ass to sleep every single night without fail since then
>>42793890I was going to do personalized printed card with stickers and custom art and blah blah blah. Now I have an excuse to go with crayon doodles on blank generic christmas cards.Fuck yeah, best timeline.
>>42794642I'm tempted to do my own cards entirely in crayon just because I haven't had an excuse to do anything with a crayon in probably twenty years
>>42794473I'd rather kill myself than have to go down to London for a pub crawl.
>>42791359My friend, I drew that for you almost 2 years ago. When I look at it now, it makes me want to vomit. I put my other stuff aside to re draw it. A little less detailed but I hope this looks better
>>42794692oh damn! insane improvement! good on ya, man
>>42794687see >>42794590>>42794692Wow, thanks anon! Really appreciate you iterating on your design that first brought her to life. The thicker legs really do help make the proportions look more "balanced" than the original. Just one slight critique - the way her left wing is done makes it look like it's coming from behind her body as we view it, the little cutout in her waistcoat she had in the original design addressed that nicely.
>>42794473i too would rather kill myself than go to london for a pubcrawl
know what? fuck it. would any fellow britoids be down for a NORFERN /ss/ meetup? liverpool, manchester, leeds, york, ANYWHERE up in the norf. hell, go as far down as stoke if need be. sick of everything UK related being crammed into the southeast
>>42794692That's a fine mare right there.
>>42794723>>42794725>>42794731
Holy fuck i had no idea how expensive it would be to ship things overseas what the fuuuuuuuuckPlease tell me the price is dependent on the carrier im begging you
>>42794731With passion like that, you can make it happen. My souf-brained self didn't consider it initially but we could totally head up there too. Say your available dates and I'll see what can be done with the group that eventually gets assembled.
Horny Toad Mode, I am reaching out again to ask if you are alright receiving Fluttershy stuff without the goth, as I do not have the tools, skillset or material to make her clothes.
>>42794739Sadly it can be expensive yes. Myself I am looking at $100 to $150 for shipping my gift out. If you are in the US I know/think PirateShip can save you a lot. Sadly there is no equivalent where I am located.Also remember when shipping overseas the customs declaration is important. Remember to tick off Gift and check what max gift value is for destination country and adjust the valuation on items so you end up below that (saving your santee paying to get gift).
>>427943529/10 times your santee is going to be over the moon. Don't let that 10th autist be the reason you aren't pouring your heart and soul into your gift, that will take away from your experience too.
>42787335It's more than one! Clever made Linky, but he's a euro and only makes plushies every now and then. The quality is top notch, though! If you're in the states. Panko is a newer plushmancer who makes them with the same pattern and a similar hoofie gimmick. He made Coco! Panko I believe actually takes commissions now.
>>42794671There's that too. Besides, they'll have more soul and be less stressful to make.
>>42794749i can't think of a day in december where i wont be available. so all the same dates that you gave would probably be fine. whatever works for most people
>>42794352If you're not making the gift unconditionally, you're doing it wrong.
>>42794605>>42794590yeah, Reading should be good for me too (Oxford may be doable, bit more pain in ass to get to it + more expensive transport so Reading would be a strong first option as alternative to the London).

>>42794794>>42794914Noted
>>42794121Interesting questions as usual...I'm wondering what traditional knit means, calling back to the question about lace? If it's between lace or silk that's honestly a tough choice without knowing what it's for...Some means of tying? For appearance, lace. For texture, silk. Either sounds nice. No allergies to latex or silicone that I've found.I do indeed have vidya interests, I have many consoles and games. Lately it's been between PC, steam deck, and switch. I like most genres, RPGs if I had to pick one.
>>42794473available 7th, 14th and 21st of December
>>42792817Oh cool, a traditional artist!! What is your favorite medium?
/ss/ DC meetup when?
>>42793503Ah yeah, I know of Doomy Gloom - has definitely helped keep the NEET thread alive. A voice over for just about any NEET story is more than welcome!I'm more than happy to receive anything, so whatever you come up with I guarantee I'll like, pony stuff is pony stuff at the end of the day!I do have an OC, I don't have too much art of him, I'll go ahead and have Pony Claus forward some of the art to ya' in the unlikely event my santee recognizes them, even if I doubt they will.
I need to know who made this Derpy. Please, I must commission one for myself. She is so cute!
Yipee, I receive my card assignment, thanks cardslut :D
>>42790624I can't think of a specific moment in my life where I showed bravery. I would like to be more brave by standing by my opinions and not being influenced by others so much.
>>42795235Brilliant. I'm excited, man. I'll be seeing you in the thread.
Winter Web the Spiderpone I GOT YOU SORRY FOR THE WAIT ANON
>>42794473Any date really, though 20th might be a wee bit close to crimbo.>>42794590London works since I actually know how to get there from a plane/train up north, but if somewhere else is decided, I could see about figuring out travel.>>42794692Ooo, really nice to see the progress you've made over the years.
>>42791569I mostly do digital these days but I love any medium! I don't have too much of anything at the moment traditional wise since I've mostly been doing digital, but I used to paint a lot. I use the ipad to draw digitally!
I was double-checking my santee's wishlist, and I realized what I had planned wouldn't work so well because he already has one, but I also thought of a better gift!My only concern is getting it shipped safely, but it's a big concern. Any advice?

Does anyone know if the super special Holiday IDs are recycled every year?
>>42795475From what I've seen, it hasn't happened yet. The returning names are the ones who held them previously.
>>42795475All of the IDs that do not get re-used are sent to the shredder :(
>>42795475>>42795483Once you're given an ID it's a part of you forever, even if you get a new one.I still have unfinished greens I conceptualized a few years ago, and I still fully intend to finish them.

I love reading "Hey X don't unspoiler!" right after the very first thing I did when seeing a new post is unspoil the pic. I hope my Santa won't post anything because I'm stupid.
>>42794473>UKYak!Anyway, have fun!

>>42795647I clicked it...
Hey team. I just wanna say thanks for letting me take a couple days off of the inbox. I know I’ve got some stuff in there too answer or pass along, but I took a little break and I’ve had a lovely time out tonight watching auroras in a dark sky zone with Derpy. It has been a wonderful little reset for the past couple days, and I think my soul is better for it.Hope everyone else’s day is going well. I’ll be back in the inbox tomorrow, no worries and thank you for your patience.
>>42794642>crayon doodles on blank generic christmas cardsHey! That was my idea!
>>42795475Not intentionally but desu I don’t actually have a master list so at some point I reckon I’ll probably accidentally put together two holiday words that have been used before. It’s one of the reasons I do themes actually, it gives me more words to play with each year without worrying about repeats.
>>42795668Beautiful.>>42795673>no ID master listHoly Chaos.
>>42795264See Linky here >>42794778I don't think he does commissions, but you can always ask.
>>42795554Last year I wanted to participate but didn't, as I didn't think I'd be able to contribute anything meaningful. Took this as a motivation to start making some pony stuff this year.But from what I am seeing in this event, I feel like I should spend 2026 learning plushmaking. Yes, I know commissions are a thing that exist. But that requires figuring out what plushmakers are legit or what might be scams and convincing them that I am not a scam. Probably requires an account on some social media site I've never touched, just to contact. Plus I'd need to find someone who can do a very specific custom plush in time. I am almost certainly completely misjudging this, but learning plushmaking myself still sounds like the easier option to me. Though, I do also prefer making a "I made this for you"-gift over a "I payed someone to make this for you"-gift.Added benefit I'd reduce the discrepancy between people wanting a plush and people making plushes by two.
>>42795710I want to become a plushmancer too, but my hands shake a lot...
>see a cute mare product>"mmm that's a great gift for my anon">save some money for it>lots of friends invites me to parties>food deals arrived>fall into temptation and spend all the money>wait until next payment to buy the giftFuuuuuuck, I just the only one that waste opportunities like that, any suggestions for this fag to really save money without end up like this?
>>42795745>any suggestions for this fag to really save money without end up like this?1) Create a budget - figure out what you want to set aside for gifting and what you want for going out with friends.2) Start saving up earlier in the year. Doing that allows you to build said budget over time and account for things that will come up.3) Don't try to fund everything all at once. Building up slowly and regularly over time gives you more leeway for unexpected events (good and bad). This idea also goes well with investing in the stock market (see "Dollar Cost Averaging").
>>42795264It's me, CleverS. Sorry for teasing you earlier. Thank you for your praise.I don't really do commissions, and currently I can't even ship to the US. But you can contact me anyway @cleverscreenname on dicksword or cleversplush at gmailAlso this plush is made with a popular free pattern from MyLittleWaifu, so any plush maker should be able to make a similar one.>>42795710Plushmaking isn't even a question of skill anymore. There are so many good learning resources available right now that it's just about spending money for materials/tools and getting to work.>>42795713I don't think shaking hands are a problem for sewing. Unless it is so severe you can't safely operate scissors.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZscv36UUHo
>>42795745Just buy it on credit. Then you basically get it for free, until you have to pay it back.
>>42795844Way to downplay yourself. Mane and tail patterns as well as accessories can be tricky to figure out depending on the pony in question, and you know it. But those resources and available patterns have certainly enabled quite a few /ss/ gifts already, and will continue to do so.
>>42794271Thats a tough question, I don't think I have one! I've always struggled to find Flutterfic reccomendations, they seem few & far between. The ones I have read haven't really stuck with me. Looking at my favoirites list https://www.fimfiction.net/story/480/off-the-edge-of-the-map is the only one, but it's been a long time since I read it. https://www.fimfiction.net/story/2012/the-contest is pretty qt and I remember https://www.fimfiction.net/story/389502/numbers so it must be ok. It looks like I've not made it out of the top rated.I've definitely read some good greens but no chance I could find them now.Not sure if any of that helps! A reading list would be a very neat gift if you have the means.I could give a better answer for favorite art or music if that would help?
>>42795710This anon >>42795844 is right that there are a lot of helpful guides out there to get you started. The only difficult bit is the embroidered eyes and cutiemark, since doing them by hand is a massive ballache, but appliqué does suffice.I've only done appliqué, but at this point, I've made so many plush and plush adjacent things I'm seriously considering just getting an embroidery/sewing machine. Been hand sewing and using my mum's old one, and it's a bit shit. Have no idea what a good one to get is though, and don't really wanna spend a fortune either.
Yo Winter Charge,I'm going to try something new that I think you'll really enjoy, but I have no sense of how long it's actually going to take me since I'm learning as I go. I'm going to do my absolute best to ship it out by the 1st, but you will have it in hand no later than a week before Christmas. I give you my absolute wordAlso, I will be hiding some fun things inside it that you won't see aside from some pictures on a USB >:)
>>42795872>Have no idea what a good one to get is though, and don't really wanna spend a fortune either.1. Buy a second-hand embroidery machine. They are often 50% off the original price, and people sell them in good shape after they figure out embroidery is way too complex for them.2. Buy a machine with the largest hoop possible. This is the most important factor that will limit what you can do. A babby 5x5" hoop is not really viable long-term.3. Buy a sewing/embroidery combo if you really need to save space/money. The upside is you get a high class digital sewing machine this way. Downside is switching between sewing/embroidery requires a little work and breaks your flow.

If I can find a new job within the next six months, I promise to give my santee a lifesize
>>42796635Lifesize plush is a great gift beyond anyone's dream. If you are my Santa I would not want you to spend that on me as I know the struggle. So I will send you all my wishes that you get the best job you ever wanted. And I will not hold you to your promise but would want you to spend it on yourself instead, and give yourself something you normally would not. You are worthy of greatness and you should treat yourself with a gift you always wanted but always thought was too much.
>>42796666Shit, id settle for a good plushomancer recommend so I can get my own. (Pease send suggestions, any anon)Also>checked
Puddin' Foot - You will get a medium sized package from Amazon eventually, I'll be ordering it sooner rather than later to beat the shipping rush. It's prohibitively expensive to re-ship from my place as it's heavy. You can open it if you want, but you'll be VERY confused if you do. Perhaps that'd be funnier. Your gift will come as 3-4 parts that will need to be mildly assembled on location.Mass Mailers - Anyone have ideas for this years participants ornament?
>>42794473I'd be down to meet up again, last year was pretty fun. I should be able to do any of the dates in December, but due to work and black Friday anything for the rest of November won't work as I work on Saturdays. I'd also be down to go wherever. Oxford might be a good shout, got a mate who lives there and he says its a pretty nice place
Analog Candle!Sorry I never got back to you in the last bread. I have been busy but i did see your post about music, good tastes! I am going to attempt to borrow a casette recorder from a friend which may or may not be functional. I apologize in advance if the casette does not happen.The good news is that *almost* everything from your gift is here and I am making good progress on your surprise hoof-made craft. Whether or not I manage to pull off the casette I promise there will still be cool stuff in that box.
>>42796686You know that any lifesize plushmaker is going to have at least a 1 year waitlist?
>>42797258>1 year waitlist?Is it because they are doing what I think they are doing with lifesize plushies?
>>42797280Yes>The average gestation period for ponies is about 11 months.
>>42797280Yeah, it takes a full year for the tulpa to attune to it
>>42797303>>42797304These are both perfect replies. Bless.I can't wait to snuggle my lifesize tupla plushie on Heaths Warming Day.
Broomtail Ale here's your OC! She's a bar maid, she may do a bit of drinking on the job. Just a little
>>42795090>>42795310>>42796880Noted, up to 8 resposnses so far
>>42789360Guess I know I won't be getting what I wanted this year, thanks a lot santa
Mustang Purple! I have been assigned to send you a card this year. I see you're a huge subutt fan! Does that mean that you're a fan of huge sunbutts?Also, I see that you love Daybreaker as well. Do you care for Dyx at all?
>>42797400WOULD
>>42792017CAWWW, thanks for the info!Any other plushies you might happen to have, just finalizing ideas, dont wanna get ya any dupes!
Can I mail out my santee's gift and drop out of the event so my santa doesn't have to send anything. I genuinely just want to fucking die already
>>42795157I guess sewing if that counts haha, otherwise painting
>>42796972mirthful mirthfulness
>>42797541All the more reason to Receive a gift Consider that it's half of the fun to send as well don't deny them that
>>42797541Return to sender. That's what I want to do. Whatever is in it can likely be sent to someone else. I joined to offload things I think someone else would like.
Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeey Cuddle-Up Comfy, what's your favorite hot winter drink? Cocoa? Cider? Dirty bean water? Dirty leaf water? Mulled Dr. Pepper? Spiders?And do you have anything against anonfilly? Not even as a main or even side gift, mind you, just a little extra thing thrown in.
I've always wanted to participate in/ss/ but always worry I'll get a better gift than what I give, also a lot of you faggots seem retarded and constantly accidentally dox eachother
>>42797759Getting a better gift than what you gave is just incentive for you to better yourself and try again next year.The doxing is solved by killing someone and assuming his identity for three months.
>>42797640The greatest gift I can give this world is to fucking remove myself from it
>>42797746I prefer hot chocolate for my hot liquid intakeI like anonfilly (plus I have a couple anonfilly plushies including MPPP), and I was even going to mention her somewhere on the list, but I guess I forgot. Feel free to throw in an anonfilly, but make sure the filly stays comfy!
>>42795157A Crystal Cruet, eh? Do you know ball?
mare for Cuddle-Up Comfy>>42794723>>42795310thank you bros>>42796290Brother, it's so bad my vomit started vomiting. Wait a minute... vomit vomiting.. seems familiar>>42797400That outfit is so cute I love it!
>>42794724of course bro, I couldn't leave you with that. Also, made a quick edit to make it more like you suggested
>>42797759>also a lot of you faggots seem retarded and constantly accidentally dox eachotherIt’s true, I do look forward to watching retards forget to crop out shipping labels every year.
>>42797933God I fucking need to snuggle this mare so bad.
>>42797823I completely feel (you) on that, anon
Tumbleweed Mead! Your gifts are coming along. Still waiting on some stuff to arrive. In the mean time, I'd like to see a picture of your pony merch, specifically the Pinkie and Derpy goods. I want to get you some additional presents but I'd like to see what you already have. Is there a type of pony merch you absolutely do not like, handmade or mass produced?
Cardslut you devious bastard, you sent a recipe for a grilled cheese sandwich instead of my card assignments!
>>42797966I forgot to mention, relay the pics to Pony Claus if you don't want to share publicly /)
>>42797970>you sent a recipe for a grilled cheese sandwichLUCKY! I wish I still was a kid and had access to an small toaster oven. Gilled cheese sandwich is soooo goood. I guess the solution is to get a toaster oven but I fear I will just use it a couple of times.
postin for my santa i guess hoping i can get a trixiefag instead though, just have more trixie things to give
>>42797970share the recipe!
I feel like I should buy my Santee more gifts but I have already spent around $80 not to mention the handmade item I'll be making. I'm worried I'd just be buying cute stuff off Etsy for the sake of adding more to the box. Anyone else feel this?

>>42798013>garnish with FISTPerfect for the season.
>>42797995Is your handmade item really good enough to ADD value?Maybe its so bad it subtracts value and you need to add more bought things to make it worth $25 again.
>>42797997Shipping big things is expensive and I'm so broke it isn't even funny.
>>42798111 Oh my how big is it? what price u talking?
Fumble buns, I am once again reaching out for a reply. The main portion of your gift just arrived today and let me tell you, she is just so darn cute. Part of me wants to keep it for myself, but that wouldn't be the jolly thing to do. Also, your wishlist stated no food stuffs, does that extend to prepackaged things like candy? I put together a stocking for my santee every year with a lot of goodies, I'd like to do one for you as well if you're okay with that :)
>>42798116Like 30" boxLast time I mailed something like that it ran me $110 in shipping
>>42798137omg tell me who it isss aghh im so high right now and excited my lord man
>>42797933Wow, she's a cutie! Thank you!
>>42798139idk maybe Morning Mimosa
>>42798149Ohh can you do Diamond Tiara
>>42798152I can try yeah
>>42798195or uh, lemon zest? im not quite sure..
>>42797903Fear not, comfy is the theme!
>>42798120Sorry for missing your earlier call out, I’m suffering in busy retail and it melts my brain at times.I’m very excited and prepackaged food is fine!
>>42798257No worries, I can only imagine the hell that is retail stores this time of year. I'll stick to kitchensDo you have any preferences/favorite holiday treats you'd like to receive? If not I'll just use my judgement and send things I always got as a kid
Salty Licorice, do you like taco bell? this is unrelated to your gift which I still need to start making (long story, I'd be working on it by now but dad's getting kicked out of his place, and while I don't live with him anymore, it does mean the past two weeks have been spent making trips to pick up all my old stuff)Don't read this part it's a spoiler they fucked up my order like a week ago and I got a fancy free taco coupon that's nearly the size of a dollar bill which I thought was pretty funny and I was gonna stick it in the gift somewhere, is that dumb?And also I've reminded myself that I left my fucking baja blast in the damn car it's gonna freeze oh ffs I was so busy unloading boxes
>>42798299If you're saying you want Taco Bell, yeah, we can meet up at the Taco Bell
>>42798266Anything chocolate is always a safe bet with me, things you enjoyed as a kid sounds fun though!
>>42798306well not like that, I just meant, do you ever go there yourself? if possible I'd actually prefer to go somewhere that I _don't_ have in my area, especially when all we really have around here is like, the mag donnel, the king, taco belle, and I guess there's a kfc nobody really goes to and a long john silvers that NOBODY goes to.I'd love to know how that place is still in business, loland just in case, if we start getting concerningly close to christmas and I don't even have a [redacted] ready to [omitted] or at least in the [prank'd] to get [text eaten by the #1 best rated salesman 1997] then I may try to make sure I have plenty in the box besides it and just bring you the handcrafted part of the gift later on.But that's worst case scenario, so here's hoping it doesn't end up there!While I'm thinking of it, I'm going to ignore the sneaking sensation that I already asked this and simply forgot, but how many of the /MPPP/ poners do you have, and do you happen to be an enjoyer of Cassette/CD/DVD media or naw?Actually, one more... Do you think Moony's fur would be glossy?
>>42797400>invites you over to drink and cleanoh my god i love herboth very therapeutic things, kekkek im imagining her cleaning up a room after the end of a con, and she finds left over booze... literally her kekThat'd be a potentially funny backstory for her cutie mark

>>42797759>doxYou aren't that important. Nobody cares about John Doe from Assback-Shire upon a Pisscreek in some flyover state or country.
>>42798356Just have santa email me what one i want i guess im out of it right now
>>42798334Ah, you want something more local that's not around you? There's a local Ozzy bar and grill if you wanted to try that, otherwise my go-to is a local pizza/diner chain that sucks at pizza but is pretty good at everything else. I don't think a permanently parked taco truck is an appropriate place for a meetup unless you've got a real fascination for theoretically mobile food>concern about giftAs long as I get something more than a pack of stickers I'll be happy to see that at Christmas>/mppp/ Never asked unless I missed it, but I've managed to catch em all!>Cassette/CD/DVDOutside of ripping music off CDs, not really big on them even if I'm pretty sure I've got a working VHS player somewhere. Raw video files are too convenient for me. >Glossy furA little gloss at most I'd think from oils, only enough to reflect a bit of moonlight off her flanks. When I get to Equestria and she has or hasn't a sheen to her coat, I wont mind, its too minor of a detail for me to not want to boop, hug, smooch, and fug her

What do you guys think of items unrelated to poni, yet colored/illuminated in the likeness of poni? The kind of thing you could show to almost anyone, and you'd have to "know" to get it, like one of those simplistic wallpapers you'd use in high school because heaven forbid any of your classmates find out YWTCIRD.Life is kinda hard when your entire range of producable products predate pony...
>>42798390>my go-to is a local pizza/diner chainThat sounds like the perfect sort of place, something I won't have at home, but something you'd have experience with!(what do they do good if not the peetzer?)>something more than a pack of stickersOh of course!
>>42798450>(what do they do good if not the peetzer?)Burger, they have a bbq burger that I rock withThey used to do good pizza, but a few years ago they started fucking them up. I'll have to order another one and see if they found a better chef
>>42789626I met my girlfriend at a con. Its as simple as asking one out with confidence. If youre not confident, make yourself confident.
>>42798455>They used to do good pizza, but a few years ago they started fucking them up.exactly what happened (but worse) to the place I used to get my strombolis at, it got to the point where the whole damn stromboli had like six pepperonis inside of it and I kept having to take it home and re-build the thing myself. And if I got pizza, I could've driven home on the pizza grease alone, if I had one of those food-grease-using diesels. Haven't been there in years...
