It's Starting To Feel Like Hearth's Warming EditionWelcome to Safe Foal Work, a thread for wholesome discussion and appreciation of your favorite fillies and colts! 'Tis the season to be jolly, how would you celebrate with foals?Previous Thread: >>42814188
The artstyle's goofy but I love stuff where foals are struggling to walk through the snow, it's so fun.
>>42853549YAY!! DERPY AND DINKY!!
>>42853549I don't even think they do struggle, they just don't give a damn
>>42853583Sometimes they struggle, but yeah a lot of foals are totally willing to be a snowplow. Especially earth ponies, you know they've got that power.
Giddy up!
>>42853440this is an absolutely beautiful picture. one of the best pony images i've ever seen. thank you.
>>42854220The artist did some amazing Hearth's Warming pieces last year, I'm hoping they'll do more this year. They usually lean towards silly stuff but these are so warm and full of life.
>>42854237
>>42854240And this one I think is technically not Hearth's Warming but I post it constantly because it's so goddamn cute.
Thrifty filly.
>>42853440Foal is for hole!
Who stole Apple Bloom's muzzle!?
i'm not the biggest fan of toola roola's design, but this image is adorable.
>>42855106i'm not sure why, but i really really really like this image.
>>42855458Aw, that is really cute!>>42855478We don't really get to see fillies dealing with school indepth, I don't mind that since there's plenty of shows that focus on stuff like that but it is one of those things I'm curious about. Also, mouth-holding is always snowpitiful.
>>42855458i went looking through this artist's other work, and i found a goldmine of pure soul.
bookending this andromedajerkery with another toola roola, but lets just say my stockpiles have been refreshed.
>>42856235I love the flower motif there, that's so sweet!>>42856242Aw, she's definitely gonna need a bath.
I'm concerned for these fillies.
I don't coltpost much in here but this is adorable.
>>42856842We love our sons and daughters.
>>42856842I think I'm too coombrained, because the fact that he's half out-of-frame in the last panel makes me think he's doing something pornographic.
Cutie Mark Crusader Kirin! Yay!
>>42857279You do probably need some sorta detox, fella.>>42857638Woah! I feel like giving the CMC the ability to set things on fire on demand is a really really bad idea but I do still wanna pet their manes a bunch.
>>42857638this is a blatant fire hazard and therefore not safe for work
>>42857712LOL
completely ordinary colt. nothing to see here.
>>42858014To be fair he's been quadrupedal before, he'd probably handle it just fine. On the other hand, being told by magic itself that the thing that makes you special is being able to send letters to Celestia? Rude.
>>42858220Also, Spike is an honorary colt!
>>42858220is his letter teleportation actually specific to celestia? i don't actually recall any specific instances of him using it for anything else, or receiving one from anyone else, but i'm not 100% confident in saying it never happens.
>>42858246I'm not actually certain! I'm sure someone somewhere has collected every single time Spike's sent a letter but I'm definitely not that guy.
>>42858246Maybe it works via what the name at the ending or start of the letter is. “Dear Celestia” is just a way to let the smoke know where to reform the letter at.
>>42858315That's a cute concept! Though that would be incredibly powerful.
>>42858315>address letter to anyone you want dead>enclose anthrax spores>send
>>42858341Yeah but ponies would never do that because they're good.
>>42858341>>42858329Perhaps the ink is also enchanted. So that it would be a direct message system. Is twilights inkwell fancy or nah? Might back up this theory.
>>42858424Spike sending all the scrolls he's carrying in Griffon the Brush-Off suggests that it's a trait of his rather than anything to do with the letters themselves, there's nothing implying those are all letters to Celestia.
>>42858246"The Big Mac Question" has him teleport paper into desserts this way. But it's S9, so effectively fanfiction.
Sledding!
love cozy' outfit here.
>>42859102Aw, that's cute! Her expression's a little worrying but maybe she always looks a little crazy when she's playing chess.
>>42859102>>42859134If you notice the board, this is her winning using one of the easiest checkmates there is. Two rooks. I am not really someone who does chess, but usually this is impossible to achieve against a good opponent. Meaning that this picture implies you suck ass or she is really good. This is why I would play something coop with her.
>>42859139Yeah that's a weird board state all around, I don't know how either player got to that point.
Heck yeah Noi!
>>42860208>>42860212>>42860215I love how sparkly their eyes are!
Comfy!
>>42861049Cute! I love the artificial wings and pegasi with goggles is always a great combo.
Who here is jolly? Perhaps merry? Jovial Even?
>>42861112I'm having a holly jolly time, personally.
>>42861127Does that also imply that you are siiimply haaaving a wonderful christmas time?
>>42861161I'll be rocking around the Christmas tree having a happy holiday soon enough.
>>42861162Well it IS the most wonderful time of the year after all...
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow~
>>42861181Ah! so jolly!
Can't have a Hearth's Warming tree without the star at the top!
>>42860306I was watching Amending Fences earlier today and I noticed that Ruby Pinch is in the flashback scene. Unaging filly... scary.
>>42856238I feel like Apple Bloom would try really hard as a princess but also would probably accidentally ruin a town or two in the process.
there is nothing in the show that suggests that silver spoon is not a homeless orphan.
>>42862406It'd be very impressive to be that fancy and not have a home.
>>42862439more impressive than that would be having that specific cutie mark; the only real thing that you could interpret as actual evidence of her being rich.
>>42862829The necklace could well be quite expensive, it's hard to say! It would be funny if she's a made mare though (or made filly, I guess you'd say).
They used all of Apple Bloom's spare bows for the presents.
sweet little baby
>>42863614Aw! I wonder if Shining Armor ever had any jealousy issues with them looking after the new foal or if he was cool the whole time.
>>42863614sweet little family.
>>42864255forgot image. why doesn't this board let you delete posts again?
The faces on this are a little silly but new art is always good to post.
>>42864260You can actually! You just gotta do it fairly quickly, you click the check next to your post and then hit the post in the bottom right.
>>42864261>alas, poor horsick
>>42864262oh it's a time based thing? i'm not sure why i though it was board based. and the question of why still remains, coupled with the question of why you have to wait for the posting timer to finish before deleting a post. so you can't delete a post too quickly, and you can't delete a post too slowly, and there's no obvious reason for any of it.
>>42864262This, but you also can't do them too quickly for some reason. You gotta wait a minute, I think.
>>42864271It's just because futaba's super old tech. A new post gets added onto the end of the index whereas a deleted post requires rewriting the index entirely which means it's a lot slower and more complicated for the software to do, so they want to minimize people's ability to use that as an attack against the board itself. Thus, you can't delete immediately and you can't delete old posts since those are the two easy ways to weaponize it by deleting tons of posts over and over.
Pogger Belle.
>>42864720That's such a silly mane style. Still very pettable though.
>>42865557>she's jumping from the top rope!
>>42865644Apple Bloom's finishing move is probably brutal, hopefully Scoots will be okay.
>>42865918Aw! I like how the artist seems to be having them nearby a really bright light based on the shading and how their colors are just a little bit washed out.
So talented!
what do you think of these two? they kind of came out of nowhere, and didn't really do anything, but people seem to like them. i like coconut cream's design i guess.
>>42866346I think it's fun to bring in more G3 characters even if they're just there to sell toys. Not my favorite designs in the world but more ponies is always a good thing!
Tiny apple!
>>42865322You also look very pettable Anon :D
>>42866647I'd feel ridiculous letting Sweetie Belle pet me but I'd also be incapable of saying no.
Camouflaged sisters... well, if they didn't wear those fancy clothes. Don't they know horses get winter coats?
>>42867195Wowie, good timing! I almost posted that one myself. If I were to come up with silly lore, it's probably considered fashionable to keep your coat short in big cities whereas small towns have ponies accept their fluff.
>>42867203>it's probably considered fashionable to keep your coat shortHell yeah!
>>42867209Now that's a fancy foal right there.
>>42867267Using a d-pad with a hoof has to be real rough. There's a reason that Button Mash was playing an arcade game with a big stick.
>>42867287True. I guess he just places hoof overtop and changes hoof angle. Or fingerish blobs emerge from frog?
>>42867423>I guess he just places hoof overtop and changes hoof angle.i don't think that would work well with an average dpad from our world, but i can imagine that actually working really well with a dpad designed for doing exactly that. i don't see any reason for it to be cross shaped though.
>>42867431It'd probably look more like the Genesis d-pad, were I to guess. More contact with the hoof to make it easier to get inputs in.
>>42867464yeah. i also think the material should be different. real life dpads are designed to have low friction so your thumb can slide over them easily, but if you're rocking your hoof over it, you want as much friction as you can get.
Snowplow coming through!
more like happle bloom, am i right?
>>42868182Aw, she's so precious there. I'd buy an apple from her for sure.
>>42868784aw, that's great. rainbow should always have goggles.
best filly mane 6? for me i think it might be twilight even though she canonically has no friends.
>>42869061She's definitely the one that has the biggest change in her personality so I get it from that front, the others are basically just little versions of their adult selves. In terms of design though I find Fluttershy to be adorable, silly lanky filly.
Aw, she started a nice fire so we can all get warm. Good filly.
>>42869868i want to teach her remorse and humility.
>>42870335I feel like it'd definitely be possible to get her to understand that her actions have consequences that should be taken seriously, it'd just require you spending a lot of time with her and probably building up some rapport. She almost ended up friends with Tirek and Chryssy so it's clearly possible!.. ish!
Clearly super safe.
>>42871100rainbow would mock the concept of safety. also, i'm not the only one who thinks it looks like they're standing on literally nothing, right?
>>42871401>i'm not the only one who thinks it looks like they're standing on literally nothing, right?Yeah, they should be on top of clouds but it really doesn't look like it. Still a funny image so I'll excuse it.
>>42871844ok, it's official, they're growing on me. also they have way less art together than i thought they would. yeah, they're not super popular characters, but for some reason i figured they were more popular than this.
>>42872088I'd imagine that them being attached to a not-very-beloved episode probably didn't help them out, but hey, some really cute art is still more than most single-episode characters in a cartoon get!
>>42872145I love Kamagi's art so much, his fillies are adorable.
picking up the pace here.
>>42872351Yeah, some goofball realized that moderation's lax and is deciding to spam the whole board. Really lame but it is what it is!
>>42853440
>>42872405Aw, that's super cute! There's not much stuff of changeling foals out there.
>>42872405that mane...
>>42872153Case in point:
>>42873519Wow, smart filly!
Now that's one cool hat, I wish I had one of those.
>>42874036applejack's hat being a gift from her parents she deeply treasures is finally real!
>>42874051I know she'll keep her hat safe forever, what a good pony.
>>42874441Filly Applejack is a good pony, I'd buy an apple from her.
>>42874456Filly Cheerilee's definitely a less common one! I guess that makes sense given that she's a teacher, people are going to associate her with maturity at least to some extent.
>>42874458>people are going to associate her with maturity at least to some extent.i think it's a little bit less common than it used to be, but you still often see people calling her a hag when she is very consistently shown to be about the same age as the mane six.
>>42874476To be fair people have defined hag as increasingly younger ages over the past decade or so but yeah, it is funny that people do that for Cheerilee. There's probably some other factors leading to filly art of her being uncommon, like her first canonical younger form being her as a late teen - I suspect that's also why Cadance art very rarely imagines her as a little filly.
>>42874486>like her first canonical younger form being her as a late teenactually it's this >>42874456 from immediately before that.
>>42874509Oh frick, is it? I'm full of shit then! I guess it's just that people remember it more.
>>42874476She was wearing 80s fashion as a teenager. That makes her the Equestrian equivalent of Gen X and the right age to be a mother. She's definitely older than the M6, because even though Applejack and Rarity are both mothers, they're teen mothers.
>>42874792She's roughly same age as Big Mac, who's probably about five years older than Applejack.
>>42874806I think it's funnier if the CMC were trying to hook up a new adult Big Mac with an almost middle-aged Cheerilee.
>>42874820It is quite funny, but alas show canon disagrees with that particular idea.
>>42874834In that picture, I feel like Cheerilee looks a little younger than Big Mac. She's more filled out than AJ, but she's not that much bigger. But the show was never really that precise about ages.
>>42874942I think she's just roughly AJ's height because they tend to shrink background assets. But yeah, the show definitely wasn't too worried about who was born when or anything like that.
>>42874792she's in rarity's class in her flashback in the cutie mark chronicles though.
>>42874959To be fair it's never explicitly said if it's her class or not, she could be doing it to help out an older class. Unlikely, but possible.
>>42874792She's the same age as the mane 6. She went to school with Rarity and was the same age as Cheese Sandwich in his flashback. She lied about the mane thing as seen in >>42874834 this episode. She was just a weirdo lol.
I'll always love this image, it's the cutest.
>>42872088I wish they had been used as background characters after that episode. They are so adorable. Maybe too distracting of designs for background cameos I guess.
>>42875241That would've been cool! But yeah, odds are it would've been considered to be too much.
>>42876569Such a cute pony!
>>42876841I wonder what the night sky is like in Equestria. We see in the pilot that stars can move, is that true of all of them? Can there just be new constellations that Luna makes up any given night?
>>42876845inb4 every star is actually a hole to pony heaven a la the elder scrolls
>>42876850Somepony's gotta make a really big hot air balloon and go check it out.
>>42876855>Hot air balloon
>>42877077I wonder if Cherry Berry realized she loved flying when she was a filly or if she didn't gain that particular hobby until adulthood.
>>42877474What a baller.
>>42876845>We see in the pilot that stars can moveI think they would also do in the real world, but very slow and unnoticable - so pretty much static for tens of thousands of years. But in Equestria, stars seem to be pretty speedy bois. Rockhoof, when he was brought back, wasn't able to use the stars to navigate a ship anymore because the constellations had changed too much. That was only a thousand years.
>>42877488I was thinking of them moving in the very first episode, which obviously inspired all the fan stuff with Luna redesigning the sky and stuff like that. That is a useful detail for you to remember though! It doesn't tell us whether it's natural or not but it is still valuable to know, though it may be inspired by differences in constellations we know from looking at ancient Greek and Chinese sources. Those are fairly minor but would make navigation via constellations potentially difficult.
Teamwork!
>>42878374isn't double diamond an earth pony?this is a connection based purely on the fact that they're both white unicorns where one isn't even a unicorn. still pretty cute though
>>42878606He has a horn in this scene and this scene only, foals often have this happen to them. It's one of the confusing parts of growing up in Equestria.
hasn't been a ton of new snowdrop art so far this month.
>>42879229Yeah, it's a shame! I hope we'll see at least a few by Christmas, she deserves it darn it.
>>42879429despite how prevalent eye sparkles are, this is one of the few pics i've seen where i would describe the eyes as looking sparkly.
>>42879837To be fair it's really going all in on the sparkles, you've got sparkle-shaped eyeshines and you've got star-shaped patterns inside the irises. The artist clearly had one thing in mind when drawing it.
>>42879849even the pony is named sparkle
>>42879854It fits, I suppose!
>>42880061Being able to fly in a snowball fight is such an advantage! Then again foals would be used to throwing snowballs at pegasi so maybe not too much of one.
>>42880233True. Also being able to teleport or turn invisible is probably the biggest advantage for unicorns (although that's advanced magic, so foals likely just use telekinesis).
>>42880515Yeah, I'd say the more common way for unicorns to cheat would be to hold onto the snowball for longer than they should. That still requires being skilled at telekinesis but being able to make sure your snowball hits is a big advantage.
It's true!
>>42881374>implying i don't already
>>42881391Well now you're going to even moreso, it's the holidays! You have to!
>>42882344My word... is that what Cozy Glow looks like when she's not allowed to take over the world? Poor thing.>>42882361I wonder how old Flurry Heart is when she finally learns that you have to ask permission before dragging people with magic.
>>42882344i don't know why, but this pic always makes me laugh. poor thing is in such a rough shape.
>>42883211She just needs a beer, that's all.
>>42883225drunk golly sounds like a disaster that isn't going to wait very long to happen.
>>42883800At the very least her head being all fuzzy would probably make her scheming less effective. On the other hand, her being more impulsive would probably lead to at least one building getting burnt down.
Big mistake, never forget your winter booties.
They're excited for Hearth's Warming! Are you?
>>42884285Eh
>>42884298Well I hope you'll get into the spirit soon!
>>42884301genuinely how did she mess that up that bad?
>>42884676That doesn't surprise me. She's a foal doing foal things. No, what surprises me is that the lights appear to be lit without being plugged in. How are they doing that?
>>42884301I would kill so many people for the chance to help the Apple family decorate their barnhouse
>>42884684Each bulb has a little firefly hanging out inside. They all get let out when Hearth's Warming is over.>>42884685Well, hopefully you someday get the chance without having to commit mass-murder!
>>42884685I would kill so many people in general
>>42884967Some of you need some emergency filly hugs, golly.
>>42884931>without having to commit mass-murder!Oh, you have no idea, anon
>>42884977I really don't. I am very concerned for my fellow anons and will see about getting you all some filly therapy ASAP.
>>42884985Can I get therapy from Sweetie Bot?
>>42885004I feel like she might not fully understand your problems, and she might also accidentally fracture your skull when trying to give you reassuring headpats, but if it's what makes you happy then I want that for you.
>>428850042 more years until she becomes real!!! Hype
>>42885042I don't know Sweetie Bot stuff very well, is there a story that gives a date for someone creating her?
Aw, what a nice snowpony!
>>42884676To be fair we regularly see that Apple Bloom's very capable of messing up very badly at basic activities, just the same as her best friends.
imagine coming home after work to find half your furniture broken and finding out that it's because some filly lifted up your house to look for bugs under it.
>>42886335I feel like property damage is very common in Equestria, everypony's kinda used to it.
>>42886335I love this filly so fucking much
>>42886488She's adorable! I'd be worried about her accidentally crushing my ribs if she hugged me but maybe the risk is worth it.
>>42886491Yeah, i'd let her kill me
>>42886493She'd be absolutely inconsolable though, she doesn't wanna hurt anypony!
Festive magic is good magic!
Uh oh.
>>42887528i want to be crushed by a giant snowball
>>42887864I'd personally recommend normal-sized snowballs only!
>>42887528interesting hat. it makes sense, but i don't think we ever see anything similar in the show.
>>42888622When ponies wear beanies in the show they're usually loose so that there's room for the ears rather than them poking out like that. Odds are that's some furry influence at play, were I to guess.
She's so excited!
>>42888990would golly enjoy christmas?
>>42889157I mean, in one way or another.
>>42889759She'd presumably be pretty experienced when it comes to taking care of foals.
So darn purple, my word.
>>42890385Nothing like a meal of spaghetti and... soup of some sort! At least I hope that's a soup of some sort.
>>42890457Oh, yeah-- it's hot chocolate!
>>42890687Hot cocoa with dinner... that's kinda powerful honestly.
Cruel and unusual treatment, truly.
>>42890831If you give a filly a cookie she will probably ask for milk
>>42890986Well fillies deserve cookies and milk!
>>42891171What a funky image. What are those gems for? Why is there a lock on that present? Is the small gem on the other ribbon related to the other gems somehow?
>>42884285Yes yes yes!!! (First post on here in a while) I love them so much!!!! :D
thread's been pretty slow lately. hope we aren't dying already.
>>42891181I'm sure the artist had a very clear vision for what it all meant, but for the life of me I couldn't tell you what that vision is. Maybe it's a reference to something?>>42891193Happy to see you around, hope you're doing well!>>42891649It's not a super active thread yeah, but to be fair a lot of threads are dragging lately. Yesterday was a contender for the slowest day in board history based on 4stats.
>>42891696>4statsIt doesn't show the longterm graph anymore though.
>>42891897dev.4stats has it! And as you can see, yesterday was the first time the board's gone below 2k posts outside of the hack.
>loses once>goes braindead
>>42892948She had never even considered that she could lose until that very moment.
>>42892948>Eventually, Cozy stopped thinking.
>>42893451Cozy will recover some processing power and then she can try and play chess again.
>>42892948>Loses her cutie mark, gets send into a mental facility for life, and dies a blank flank
>>42894269She's just going to be on Santa Claus duty for a really really long time. That'll teach her to be a good filly.
>>42892948You'd expect Cozy to know to advance one of her pawns to avoid an easy mate like that.
It's a little early for opening presents...
>>42891696Good to be back. Just been busy lately. It’s nice to see more of derps and dinks.
>>42895507Always happy to post two very cute ponies! This one is even seasonally appropriate.
Presents for every filly and colt!
>>42895427My Little Sweebie: Christmas Edition!
>>42896533I would make so many Christmas cookies for Sweetie Belle, you have no idea.
You'd best believe that we're getting Christmassy in here.
>>42897146Wow, cameras have improved a bunch in just a couple decades.
>>42897162No, they haven't changed at all. The world turned color after spending several centuries in black and white.
>>42897328It must've been so confusing for ponies back then!
>>42897146aww... that's just precious.
There's some fresh Christmas art! I was so confused, barely any has been posted in the past week or so but I guess they're just saving up.
>>42898316cute
>>42898993They are!
another trilogy
>>42899264>>42899266>>42899270I love those, they're so precious! I hope they all get some great gifts this year.
Why doesn't she like her gift?
>>42899555>diamond>coalthere's a joke to be made here, i know it.
Merry Christmas by the way!
>>42900132Oh I adore the mood of the lighting on that one.
Now that's Christmas to me.
>>42901783Which crusader is the best at cooking?
>>42902082Of all the Crusaders, I'd say Apple Bloom seems the best at being self-sufficient so I'd imagine she's the best at cooking. But the other two will probably get there in time!
>>42902082>>42902119I'd say Scootaloo is actually the most self-sufficient, and can cook a meal most reliably.However, that's only because I tend to treat her living situation a little different than what TLC presents, with said situation being that she just lives alone at home 95% of the time.Apple Bloom can probably make more interesting dishes, but Scoots probably knows how to make a greater variety of basic meals out of necessity.
>>42902326If Scootaloo was a latchkey kid then yeah she'd definitely be the most experienced at cooking.
Seems believable to me.
there was not a lot of snowdrop art this year. i am disappointed.
>>42902991Yeah, there wasn't much at all! I have no idea why, she's precious and deserves lots of cute art.
>>42903083they're late
>>42903099Better late than never! Though in my timezone they made it in before the buzzer. I wonder if Equestria has timezones.
>>42903105to answer that question you'd probably also want to ask the question "big is equestria" which while that really isn't something i've put much thought into, i can't imagine it being anything other than a can of worms.
>>42903121Yeah, the answer to Equestria's size varies from episode to episode so any hypotheses built off that foundation are always going to be a total mess. It is what it is! At least we have definitive answers to the important questions, like who is best pony.
found a pic of an oc who's the foal of cadance and shining from well before season 6. she's actually shockingly similar to flurry heart in a lot of ways. similar mane colors, coat colors, same race. none of this is terribly groundbreaking since it seems to just be a blending of her parents, but i still found it interesting.
I guess Anon lost something in the snow
>>42903484That is pretty interesting! And yeah, it's not exactly a shocking design but it's still fun to see fans speculating.
Kinda ominous!
>>42903484not bad
>>42903484One thing I only notice now is that Flurry Heart has an alicorn-style horn. Look at this thing, it is downright dangerous whereas unicorn foals usually have blunt small horns like in that drawing.
That outfit's so adorable.
>>42905979>broken hearts in her eyes because spike burnt a book
>>42906029Yeah that's a really cute detail.
>>42906570You know, I've never until this moment wondered how Apple Bloom's bow is tied. I assume it's just through some of her mane and Scoots' mane is too short for that.
Now that's one heck of an ornament.
>>42907032this is racism
>>42907049Ponies live in a whimsical world where it's okay to be just a little bit discriminatory, as long as you do it in a funny way.
You ever just hang out by a pond?
>>42907926Merry Christmas to her! I hope she got lots of good gifts this year.
>>42908111But she's trying her best! You should give her a chance.
>>42908131dangerous filly, no way
>>42908135Pffaw, she's mostly harmless.
I want an apple.
>>42908634i also want an apple bloom
>>42908822I was thinking more like a fuji or a cosmic crisp!
So comfy.
Long, thankless hours at work... Hateful people on the street... Vacant friends playing pretend... Bills and inflation keeping pace with each other... Loud noise from neighbors and strangers... But as long as I can receive a filly's love, and love that filly back just as unconditionally, maybe I can last one more day...
>>42909729I know I'm just a random guy on the internet but I believe in you bud!
I think she's sleepy.
>>42910567i'm sleepy too tbqh
>>42910588Well I hope you get some good rest soon!
imagine waking up and finding a little filly all curled up like a little spoon in your bed, having her sweet pony dreams
>>42910749You'd be legally obligated to give her little pets while she sleeps! And/or make her breakfast.
>>42909729Love from a filly makes it all worth it.
>>42910817Darn right!
Wow, now that's good balance!
we have discovered a flaw with the sleepy filly system...
>>42853440I can't decide whether Sweetie Belle or Apple Bloom is my favorite Crusader. They're both adorable and have great moments with their sisters (sorry Scoots), and their personalities are nice.
>>42911230Oh my god they're burying her... why would they do that...>>42911238Flip a coin and see how you feel after! If you're disappointed with the result then that tells you something.
>>42911395Apple Bloom probably has some fucking insane dance moves. You saw her with the hooping in The Cutie Pox, that was only like 35% better than she usually is with that thing.
>>42912003Y'know, I don't think I've ever seen filly Chryssy before. I'm sure there's plenty of art of it, it's just a first for me.
>*outsmarts u wen u leest expect it*
>>42912484yeah, i think i'm gonna be fine. good luck firing that thing with those hooves.
>>42912515Have you seen what they can do with their hooves!? That's one dangerous filly!
>>42912515>In other news, local vagrant and public nuisance Anonymous was shot dead today on the corner of Candy Cane Lane due to seemingly forgetting about the existence of unicorn magic. So far no one has came forward to claim the body and the perpetrator remains at large. More at 11.
>>42912800>she shot anon and then went on the news to report on itThat's truly devilish...
Thank goodness there's a label so I know what I'm looking at.
>>42912484I wanna give Sweetie Belle a rubber band gun.
Hey girls, what's going--OH SWEET CELESTIA
>>42913867It's fiiine, that's just a funnily-shaped sparkler and she's about to get catapulted into a lake! What's the worst that could happen?
>>42913867would hellbenders have been even more popular if chris and zack had used ponies
>>42913877Probably not, it was after peak pony if I remember correctly.
>THE CHICKEN HAS FOUND YOU
>>42913909
>>42912825Sweetie Belle has the kind of personality where you can definitely see her doing some kind of psycho Stacy bullshit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75kHq9cHSEg
>>42913969I did see someone saying that Sweetie Belle would've been great as a villain later on, and while I wouldn't personally want to be canon I would absolutely read a fanfic of her resentments leading to her becoming outright evil.
I don't wanna read a story where these cutie patooties do naughty things...
>>42914065What about a story where they have cookies and milk after their bedtime?
>>42914065what about a story where they are accidentally given 2 bits in change instead of 1 bit because the shopmare was distracted and they decide to not tell her at first about her mistake
>>42914082That's so fucked up...
>>42913999Checked. I wouldn't want evil Sweetie Belle to be canon, but it sure does sound like it would be a fun fanfic.
>>42914100She has the classic traits for a villain, she's a powerful unicorn who overreacts to other ponies' actions! But it's okay, there's a proven way to make sure she'll stay on the side of good.
>>42914113>sweetie belle>"powerful unicorn"
>>42914129She goes from being no good at all to being actually kinda worryingly good at magic towards the end of the show! Not gonna say it makes the most sense in the world but that's what they did.
>>42914187I see.My headcanon has always been that Scootaloo can’t fly but finds daring new ways to be fast, Sweetie Belle is untalented with magic but is a creative prodigy with music, dance, and poetry (“making the magic happen”), and Apple Bloom isn’t very strong but is unusually intelligent (being the first Apple to get a higher education). They’re friends who coincidentally run mostly contradictory to what their species would dictate them to be.
>>42914274I like your ideas for the characters a lot! I could've definitely seen them going for something like that with the CMC, it would've been nice to see more exploration of their characters later on but to be fair there's only so many episodes of the show, they can't all be about silly fillies.
>>42914113cute filly pet pet
Having a plush of one of your friends is pretty silly.
>>42914113>>42914187I can't really think of a scene where Sweebie is really that crazy powerful at magic. She teleported once as an adult; and I like the detail that they gave her a headache-like response thereafter.We must not forget: All unicorns are one step away from becoming insane maniacs. I'm currently reading the Swibble Chronicles and there is a section where she bullies back against Diamond Tiara using her newfound prowess in magic and in turn becomes an even greater bully herself. I guess I could see that, becoming a big ol' meanie because she thinks it's the fair thing to do and it getting out of hand. But luckily she would never amirite >:D
>>42915056>I can't really think of a scene where Sweebie is really that crazy powerful at magicThere's a scene in Surf and/or Turf where she uses a speed spell that Glimmy described as being tough for her. Likely just miscommunication between the writers and animators but it's canon baby!> I guess I could see that, becoming a big ol' meanie because she thinks it's the fair thing to do and it getting out of hand.Yeah, that's definitely something that she's prone to do but as long as she's surrounded by ponies that love her and support her it's hard to imagine her actually ending up being villainous. Friendship saves the day yet again!
>>42915101Come on, really? This is a spell? That's like saying Twilight's heart literally broke and she died in Father Knows Beast and the like.
>>42915138If you look very carefully, yes!
>>42915185Okay, wow, then it is settled: SWEETIE BELLE IS THE MOST GREATEST AND MOST POWERFUL FILLY IN EQUESTRIA!
>>42915250*exclusively with magic related towards hastening her opportunities to get head pats
>>42915250>greatest and most powerfulWoah... Swibbles is learning from Trixie? Good for her!
What're you, chicken?
>>42915507>Immediately gets a wad of wet chicken shit dripping down his maneWhat's he gonna do then?
>>42915513It's okay, Equestria is a wonderful paradise where all animals can hold it in until they make it to an appropriate spot.
filly?
>>42916082If you insist!
>>42916090Celly read 'The Little Moon Pony' to Luna and then later stuffed her in the moon? Dang, that's messed up.
>>42916208I wanna make s'mores with Cozy Glow.
>>42916211where would you get the gelatin for marshmallows
>>42916237That's a very concerning question that I don't have the answer to!
>tfw waiting until twilight and pinkie are absent to get school approval to make marshmallows
>>42916482Worrying filly...>>42916477Aw, they're so cute! We need more fillies in armor.
There's shockingly few battle-ready fillies out there! They're thoroughly unprepared for the Foal Wars.
A Winner Is You
>>42916964Am I seeing that right? She left fried sausages for Santa Claus?
>>42916964Apple Bloom's so fucking tiny, I wanna pick her up and hug her
>>42917335what if filly werent filly no more
>>42917331It's okay, they're actually made of oats. I dunno what the casing's made out of though.
>>42917335Same!>>42917419Believe it or not, that happens to every filly and colt! But all ponies deserve to be picked up and hugged, even if it's tougher with adults.
>>42917552Ominous...

>>42917665Oh man I haven't thought about that commercial in ages.
>>42917665i'm throwing my money at the screen and nothing is happening!!
>>42917665Bless non-cynical, honest, genuine artists.
>>42917866It's so nice when artists clearly love the ponies they draw.
>>42917943It's like a breath of fresh air after being stuck in a hot, musty room.
>>42917972Aw that's so precious! I love it when people draw stuff of Trixie being good to foals, it's cute to imagine her being able to rein it in and be a good influence on the little ones.
>>42917972>"And these magical balloons will lift your spirits high to the sky! Just like Rainbow Dash!" Trixie said to the little foal.>Inwardly, she knew, many of these foals.. her littlest fans.. wouldn't get to see too many more shows of hers.>It broke her every week, to do this.>She sure didn't see Twigly Sprunkle or her other friends here>Or, really, anyone>Until she came along, no one really visited them much>"Thanks, as always, Miss Trixie." Nurse Redheart said.>"You know I love these little adoring fans." She said, petting one that had a bandage over her arm. >"Miss Trixie?" The small foal with the flowers spoke up.>"Yes, little sprout?" She smiled to her, motherly-like.>"Think I can be half as good as you when I grow up?" She smiled a gap-toothed grin.>"S-Sure, kid." She gave her a small hug. "W-We'll headline together. In Las Pegasus!">She knew this foal in particular had maybe a couple of months at best.>It killed her, but she did it.>Someone had to cheer them up.>Who better than The Great and Powerful Trixie?>Quite the boast that her act and the smiles it brings, can even chase away the black pall of impending doom.>Just one last smile.
>>42918025Fuck. Thanks for the green even if it's a heartbreaker.
>>42918025good green
>>42918025i love a good little bittersweet green.
I posted this last thread but it's so fucking pretty, it's worth reposting.
>>42918788Aw, so precious. I love it when pegasi use their wings like that.
>>42918788Derpy doing her best to be a good single mother and productive member of society and Dinky loving her makes me happy.
>>42918970I love stuff where Dinky helps Derpy with some of the little things she struggles with while Derpy helps Dinky with all the big stuff, I think that's a really cute dynamic.
>>42918984Pushing a swing while flying would be tough, I'd think. Probably not that difficult if you've been flying your whole life but getting pushed back by the swing would probably feel odd.
>Woken in the middle of the night by a high-pitched squeal, Rarity goes to investigate and finds her sister curled up in bed crying.>“Sweetie Belle…?” Rarity frowns as she steps into the filly’s room.>“I… I had a bad dream!” Sweetie Belle moans, wiping the tears from her tired eyes.>“Again?” Rarity sighs, giving her sister a sympathetic look. Bringing a comforting smile to her muzzle, Rarity clops over, climbing up onto the bed. “It’s alright, Sweetie, there’s nothing to worry about. Rarity’s here.”>The older mare wriggles under the covers beside her, wrapping her in a warm hug and nuzzling the top of her head. Her horn begins to glow softly like a nightlight, dispelling the shadows and the imaginary monsters that lurk within them. Sweetie Belle cuddles close to her big sister, the tears on her cheek glinting in the light.>“I’m sorry I woke you up…”>“Don’t be silly,” Rarity replies, stroking the scared filly’s mane. Quietly, she whispers the first notes of a lullaby, the same one their mother used to sing when Sweetie was still just a baby. Sweetie Belle buries her face in Rarity’s chest, listening to her sister’s rhythmic heartbeat. She smiles weakly as Rarity chases the nightmares away.>“Hush now, quiet now, it’s time to lay your sleepy head…”
Happy new year!
>>42919378it's the year of the horse, when do we all get our fillies
>>42919438I don't think that's how it works! For one that's a Chinese New Year thing, so you'll have to wait until February.
>>42919025cute. but they don't live together. green ruined.
>>42918025>>42919025Awww, so cute!>>42919561What if their parents are dead, S1 headcanon style? Rarity had to step up to become the mother she never had. Maybe she even sometimes slips up and calls Rarity her mom - and Rarity never corrects her, but treasures the feeling.Or it could just be a sleepover because they are away for some time :|
>the overwhelming agony of knowing one will never give a filly upsies, cuddles, and head pats
>>42919781>Or it could just be a sleepover because they are away for some timeYeah, Rarity has a dedicated bedroom for her so presumably their parents are out of town on a semi-regular basis.>>42920075Try and hold onto that desire to care and support others and do so when you can in this world, even if it's not quite what you imagine.
are you a bad enough dude to call on a filly for help
>>42920315Situations that a filly can help with:>you baked too many cookies>you want to get a message to one of your friends and don't mind if said message gets horribly mangled in the process of delivery>you've been misinterpreting your cutie mark for years due to a negative mindset>you need to hug a filly or else you'll die
>>42920315>Scootaloo is often mistaken for a full Pegasusnani?!
>>42920334Yeah, the RPG rulebook went for an interesting bit of lore that I don't agree with.
>>42920344I suppose if the coin toss is "Scootaloo is either a filthy cripple or a mixed-race pony", mixed-race pony is the safer option for the targeted demographic.
>>42920352I suspect it's as simple as whoever was in charge of writing it just went with whatever they personally believed and didn't bother checking to see if it was consistent with the show.
HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY HOWDY
>>42920404I'd never not say howdy to her.
>>42920404bless mouseu
>>42920420I hope he does more comfy stuff, though obviously I assume that's a one-off.
>>42920435but mouseu only does comfy stuff...??
>>42920439Scootaloo falling to her demise is not comfy.
What's she reading?
>>42920764could be anything. i'm not sure we know anything of what twilight read as a filly.
>>42921356All we know is that she did read a lot. Maybe she even read books on how to read!
>>42853822Is this a reference to something?
>>42921380I don't think so, I think the artist just had a cute idea. But it could be!
Taking care of foals seems tough.
>>42921618It's only tough if the person(s) supervising them aren't able to keep up with their energy or try to stifle their stupidity. Foals need a chance to be goofy and hyper or else they get misdiagnosed with mental disorders.
>>42921684To be fair, unlike kids on Earth Equestrian children often have the ability to fly and/or pick up things with their minds. That makes things a teeny bit more complicated.
>>42921693And unlike adults on Earth Equestrian adults often have the ability to fly and/or pick up things with their minds...
>>42921696True, I'm just saying it increases the difficulty of caring for said children!
>>42920764"the art of stealing cookies"
>>42922265That's right!
>>42922649
Imagine being that comfy.
>>42922912I wonder what it's like being a crystal pony. None of them seem to think it's uncomfortable or anything when they temporarily become one so presumably it's no big deal other than looking very sparkly and pretty.
Oh hey, some fresh Snowdrop! Maybe January's her month.
>>42923994finally
>>42923994that's so cute. legs look a little janky though.
>>42924170Yeah, I'm not quite sure what's going on with them. Apparently the artist hadn't drawn ponies in ages so I'll give it a pass.
>>42920764
>>42924217Good on her for enjoying a classic!
luna is very concerned about her sister's fascination, bordering on obsession with the ground.
>>42924675To be fair, the ground appears to be quite odd. And the sky. Celly likely has a higher tolerance for such shenanigans.
Well that's not good...
>>42924954fillies can swim
>>42924981Well yeah but then you're soaked and miserable for the rest of the adventure! That'd suck!
>>42925466filly twiggy piggy...purple lardass...
>>42925498She learned such nefarious tactics at such a young age!
>>42925510Reminder that Shining Armor got the belt after eating one (1) cookie when Twilight Sparkle lied about getting permission to eat fifty seven (57) cookies in one sitting.
>>42925522So unfair, no wonder he moved to the Crystal Empire.
>>42925528Meanwhile Twilight continued to live a life of getting great rewards without earning nor deserving them...
>>42925548Yeah, but she's cute and I wanna pat her on the head so I can't be too mad at her for it.
Pat pat.
>>42926031why don't i get to pat a filly
>>42926765Well, step one is to find fillies that want to get pats. This is an example of what not to do.
>Do what you want, 'cause a filly is free!>You are a filly!
>>42927152Filly piracy would be absolutely terrifying. You'd think to yourself that there's no way it's a pirate ship, it's just a little boat, but a little boat can hold so many fillies!
>>42927157Not to mention no one except the most hardened individuals can resist the demands of a filly. If they were to ever land upon your shores, then it wouldn't be long before your village's cookie stores would be depleted.
>>42927165And when your society falls apart due to lack of cookies, they just get back in their boat and go to the next village! What monsters.
Got 'em.
>>42927913Windy: Here you go, Scootaloo! Your very own telescope! It had once belonged to your Grandfather, now it’s yours!Scootaloo: Awesome! Thanks, Mom!Scootaloo walks over to her new telescope and looks at the starsWindy: Scoots, darling, can you see that one beautiful star in the lovely purple galaxy?Scootaloo: Curious Huh? Where?The filly looks through the telescope, trying to spot that special star. But, apart from several sparkling stars, she can’t find itScootaloo: Confused I can’t see it.Windy: Smirks playfully Oh, no?Windy walks over, leans in and gives her daughter a cheek on the forehead, making the filly gaspWindy: Smiles motherly Well, I can see it right in front of me, my gleaming starbright! GigglesScootaloo: Now realising that mom was referring to her-Blushes Mom! Giggles
>>42928200what sort of amalgamation of script, prose, and green is this?
>>42928238It's from an abomination known as "DeviantArt".
>>42928542It'll never not be funny that DA somehow is still going. Multiple generations of autists all flock to the site, there's something beautiful about it.
>>42928769You've described 4chan with your post...
>>42928921True! At the end of the day 4chan is just autists being angry at other autists being the wrong kind of autist, and that's a-okay.
Just gonna finish the thread up, don't mind me.
>>42929325I wasn't meaning that in the 'kill the thread' sense, I just wanted to get to autosage so I could bake. Oh well, guess people are gonna be weird about it.
>>42929334I will help you get it to autosage with the help of this cute filly.
>>42929340Thanks bud! I do enjoy filly Rainbow Dash, she's a little goofball.
And that's all the foals for now! I'll bake in a teeny bit, don't wanna be disrespectful and spam it out.
New foal! >>42929491
