It's nice to finally see LittleBolt's house gone. Who is getting that parcel now? And after all these years, Boggy's home is gone, too. I liked that one but I guess it doesn't make sense to keep renting since Boggy never plays anymore. She was a good popen

Not exactly, I do get an ever-present sensation that I'm being a bit of an annoyance at times though, been trying real hard to reel that in

Who do you think.............

>>43242967
>Do you consider yourself a background pony or foreground pony?
100% background pony.
>Do you prefer one role over the other?
Absolutely. It's actually the same way I'd want it to be in rl. I love contributing things to the community while not being in the foreground since being in the foreground for too long is stressing me out. I crave comfyness.
>Is your favorite pony from the show a major character or a background pony?
I have many favorite ponies from the show but I guess most are foreground.

Really depends on the day. Sometimes I want to be left alone to go work on something, sometimes I want to talk with friends, sometimes I want to show others something.

>Do you prefer one role over the other?
Depends on the situation. Not being the center of attention is nice but it also means that ponies usually drop any conversation with me as soon as more interesting ponies show up or only talk to me when there's no one else around to talk to
>Is your favorite pony from the show a major character or a background pony?
Not really background, more a side-character that has relevancy but little screentime

can you get in trouble for squatting? can the land owner report you and get your account banned?
>>
>>43243845
lmao no
the land owner has full authority to kick you out, return/delete all your objects, and ban you from accessing the parcel. LL will never get involved here
other than interpersonal stuff (harrassment, nigger words, ageplay etc.), you basically only get in trouble for griefing, i.e. spawning scripted shit that are specifically crafted such that other players cannot easily block/delete them and get fucked over. even then you really need to be malicious and do something serious to get banned

No, it's totally legal. If they allow you to rez on their land with no return that's on them. They can return your stuff but that's about all they can do.

It kind of saddens me how untastefully fat or ugly some of my friends became over the years
It's hard to pretend their look don't have an effect on how I feel about them
Am I alone? How do you deal with a friend becoming a sparkledog or just hard to look at?
>>
>>43245623
i have straight up told some ponies i liked their simpler earlier design, in a respectfully way
>>
>>43245623
You give them your honest opinion, anon
If they don't care and just continue, that means they care more about their own motivations than about your opinion. Maybe they don't consider you that close of a friend. If you didn't either then that's fine, you just have different tastes and don't need to always hang out together. If you did think of them as close then it's a more general case of "I cared about a friend a lot more than they cared about me" and it sucks when it happens, but the design disagreement is not the issue here, just a symptom.
You're definitely not alone, I have drifted away from hanging out with some ponies before because they made their pony really ugly and insisted on liking that so we just drifted apart. They like fat ponies and I don't, why force ourselves to conform to something we don't like? They're still hanging out with other fatfags and I'm hanging out with everypony else.
There's even been some cases of newfags who I saw and though "ooo new pony to befriend" and then they immediately fucked their design and so I just never approached them.

Of course it's possible to have a disagreement with a genuinely close friend but then if you're actually close hopefully you can discuss shit like this with them in person rather than vagueposting in the thread, and then agree to disagree and maybe keep hanging out together anyway if the rest of the friendship is strong enough that a disagreement over pony aesthetics is not a dealbreaker.
>>
Where does the team sparkledog come from anyway? People use it to refer to G5 ponies, but they also use it to refer to brightly colored popens, but they also use it to refer to hybrid popens, but I've also seen it used to refer to a hybrid pony that had nothing to do with opg or g5, at this point it just feels like the new term for "OC that I don't like"
>>
>>43245628
I do this of course, but expecting them to take my preference above their own taste is unrealistic and narcissistic
>>43245636
>so we just drifted apart
have you ever told them why or how you felt?
>newfag fucked their design
a lot of newfags can just be unaware of what they can do, and you can be a helpful hoof to guide them how to look better

I use the term for overdesigned OCs who I can't ever justify putting in the show
not necessarily designs I don't like, there are a few rare exceptions

I know when I first did polaris I just kept adding a new thing, and then another new thing, and then another, resulting in the disaster that is her current iteration where she's wearing two fucking hats and what I think was supposed to be a 2024 halloween costume initially.
She's also an edit of an edit of an edit of my first popen from 2022, so all the bits are scattered all throughout my inventory, where for the newer popens like Moon/Tinker/Misty/Sombra I've tried to put all of their parts into a single folder.
At least with moon it's easy, there's nothing to add, she's perfect, though I did keep the blue eye flames from /her/ halloween costume because I thought they looked cool.

>sparkledog
>new term for "OC that I don't like"
basically
Sparkledog originates from like mid 2000's furfag designs in the RAWR XDDD era, used to refer to an animal, typically a dog, that has very vibrant unnatural colors and abnormal markings

in ponyfag culture, it often refers to "overdesigned" characters, as the other anon said, as vibrant and unnatural colors are normal on mlp ponies and as such the term in its original definition cannot really apply
however I have also, weirdly, seen some anons apply it to more horse-like designs, as those are also abnormal for mlp, things like real horse markings or colorations, with the exception of snowponies for some reason

at the end of the day, it really just means an OC design that someone finds "too much", but that taste itself varies greatly from anon to anon, so it's not a singular set in stone agreed upon standard
>>
>>43245673
I think it was a derogatory furry term, meant to refer to those fursona OCs which are like a blue dog with neon green highlights and shit

>>43245680
>have you ever told them why or how you felt?
Depends on how well I know them. There's ponies I've told and they just said "yeah I like that haha :)", there's ponies who I would hang around but wasn't really closely acquainted with so I simply stopped hanging around in their vicinity.

>a lot of newfags can just be unaware of what they can do, and you can be a helpful hoof to guide them how to look better
When a newfag intentionally puts on "xxl ultra ass expander body shape", I think they're very much aware of what they are able to do.
I could just approach them out of the blue but I'm not the design police, and I don't wanna just cold message ponies I've never talked to before only to say "hey I think your design sucks, did you know that we could have been friends but only if you had made your pony differently?".

>expecting them to take my preference above their own taste is unrealistic and narcissistic
It really depends on how close your friendship is, they are also not entitled to your time and friendship if they prefer their own aesthetics to yours.
In the end different ponies have different preferences and that's fine. I know that I will never have the lust of the various fatfags that always go awooga whenever someone loads up on three tons of cellulite, and that's fine, they have a good choice of ponies to lust after. In turn I will never aesthetically appreciate any of the cellulite ponies and that's also fine, there's plenty of awesome ponies who also looks really nice for me (and you) to hang out with.

>Maybe they don't consider you that close of a friend
I think you could have done without this sentence that makes anons feel like an unwanted friend. Like I agree with basically almost everything else you said except that, because, at the end of the day
>rather than vagueposting in the thread, and then agree to disagree
>keep hanging out together anyway if the rest of the friendship is strong enough that a disagreement over pony aesthetics is not a dealbreaker
>>43245701
you seem very agreeable about ponies having different tastes I just didn't like part of what you said

I hate those too but are we really that unoriginal that we have to be using a furfag insult from the 2000s
>>
>>43245706
I'm just autistic, my point was that if you're not very close friends then it's normal that they might decide that their own choices are more important than your aesthetic tastes, and I don't know if it's univeral but I for one have some close friends and then a ton of ponies I would consider awesome acquaintainces but with whom I just haven't been able to spend enough time to really grow close to (and I would be surprised if this was not common)

I only phrased it that way because objectively, the "ugly" pony's decision will be based on how close they evaluate your friendship to be. Normally this should match how you evaluate it too, in most cases. And that's not being unwanted, that's just not having grown that close yet. I did address the case where this is asymmetric and it can unfortunately happen but like I said in that case the design disagreement is not the main issue
>>
>>43245710
Since it's an insult I think it's fitting. It just takes on a new meaning here, for furfags it just meant "a stereotypically shitty garish OC", for us it means "an OC so garish that it might as well be a stereotypically shitty furfag OC", calling them both bad AND furfag-tier.

I disagree, canon colors seen in the show are by definition natural. MLP ponies aren't real horses.
And in fact it is still possible to make a pony colored so badly and garishly that it is unnatural by normal MLP standards, thus applying the original sparkledog meaning perfectly.

If you can't distinguish between natural MLP pony colors and shitty sparkledog pony colors that's a (You) issue.

terrible design
>>
>>43245914
I always like it when people go 'But the design can't be bad because it's in G4' but this would also point towards bipedal talking cats and parrots so.... yeah

Horse coloured ponies are also just pretty boring. Colour palettes can do so much to convey personality and character so being 'regular horse' is just dull
>>
>>43246061
A regular horse palette can convey a personality, too, even if you find that personality dull.
Case in point: AJ has normal horse colors.
>>
>>43245636
>I'm no longer friends with you because you changed your appearance

Sociopath logic. If they've been a good friend but just look different later on then you're a shallow nigger if you feel like that affects your friendship. If you're concerned they'd be ridiculed by their new design, give them your constructive criticism and let them decide for themselves.
>>
>>43246079
I get where that person is coming from, though I think what you're saying is probably the way the other person would reason it.
You're also underestimating the person's revulsion here. Everyone's got a line. What if said friend was covered in shit smears and a diaper? Sure you can rebut with "it's just a game lol", but to some extent we are here to see nice visuals of ponies and not just chat in text. Would you react the same if that friend constantly sends you pictures of something you find disgusting?

>sends you pictures of something you find disgusting
nta but as someone who had a friend incessantly sending me shit I didn't care about and all it took for them to stop was me saying "this shit doesn't interest me, please stop", all it fucking takes is a conversation
you're also devil's advocating and arguing an extreme that's pretty widely and universally known as disgusting that only a handful of weirdos argue their "right" to enjoy openly
>Everyone's got a line
yeah and the line varies for everypony, for some that line is having an oc that isn't an earth, pega, or unicorn pony. for others it's literal furnigger shit
>we are here to see nice visuals
if it bothers you and is not rule breaking, you have the ability to derender it, shocker

If you're standing around them in SL, they are literally sending you pictures of themselves at [insert framerate here]
>if it bothers you and is not rule breaking, you have the ability to derender it, shocker
Yes absolutely, but we're talking about friendships here, not just randos

>>43246079
If they're a good friend then we'll talk and I might even be able to look past it, I mentioned this in my post.
But for example I find that cuddling my friends is very conductive to socialisation and bonding closer, and I have absolutely zero interest in ever cuddling a lardass pony. So even indirectly, with shit like this, I just don't come close to them physically in-game, don't gravitate towards their pony, and thus don't really ever develop a closer friendship.

I don't see how that's sociopathic. Everyone's got different tastes; it's normal that some ponies will like you more, and some will not much care for you or your pony.

>>43246134
>if it bothers you and is not rule breaking, you have the ability to derender it, shocker
So your argument is that I should derender them yet also at the same time befriend them closely despite that? The fuck
I'll take just being friendly at a distance like a normal person, thanks
>>
>>43246138
>If you're standing around them in SL
I would presume, then, that you are capable of addressing your disgust reasonably like an adult and not throwing a tantrum like a child, especially if
>we're talking about friendships here
if we are friends I expect communication out of you more than I would from randoms, if you think I'm making a choice in poor taste, so long as you're not unkind about it
I've had multiple ponies address me both in person and anonymously about some of my pony design choices throughout my time in SL, and while thread is often quite mean about it, everypony who has personally talked to me gave me actual constructive shit to take into consideration.
>>43246146
>I should derender them yet also at the same time befriend them closely despite that
that is very obviously not something I said, but if you wanted to continue to pursue a friendship with somepony despite their stylistic choices and it /really/ bothered you that much, I do think that could be a route to go down, yes
I will say that,
>cuddling my friends is very conductive to socialisation and bonding closer
is funny because many ponies, myself included, are shy about cuddling until more bonding and getting closer occurs, not using the cuddling for bonding

forgive me, I'm an oldfag of ancient times and am quite used to befriending people and building strong bonds on platforms thru which there was only text chat, only to find out later on through imageboards and chat programs with embeds, and eventually SL, what terrible taste ponies were capable of, but our differences in stylistic design pretty rarely broke the bonds we'd already built
>>
>>43246165
>befriending people and building strong bonds on platforms thru which there was only text chat
Yeah obviously if you're already friends with someone elsewhere then it's a different matter. All my arguments are from the perspective of just only interacting with ponies in Baltimare and befriending them there.
If you're friends from another platform then their pony avatar isn't even a central part of their interaction with you in the first place, so worst case you could even like not hang out together in SL and still keep hanging out elsewhere.
>>
Well that's one way to launch Baltimare into space I guess

based, first thing I am posting in this line of replies, but just wanted to say I am the same way and thought I was maybe the only one.
