This is the Pregnancy General, not stillborn and ready to be borne again. We've lately been building up a bundle of regular artists, storytellers, and others again; may this general get quicker and continue quickening.For files and other things we can't discuss in this thread, there's a fraternal twin thread over inside Pregchan, the premiere pregnancy imageboard:https://pregchan.com/f/res/16922.htmlThat thread is the fifth in a series, and here are the prior Pregchan threads, which have been archived here:https://web.archive.org/web/20211104233933/https://pregchan.com/f/res/100.htmlhttps://web.archive.org/web/20220611172822/https://pregchan.com/f/res/14888.htmlThe third thread's archived well in two places:https://archive.ph/fJYNihttps://web.archive.org/web/20241128205632/https://pregchan.com/f/res/100.htmlThe fourth thread's also archived well in two places:https://archive.ph/TWHFNhttps://web.archive.org/web/20260628204952/https://pregchan.com/f/res/11488.htmlA torrent with archived threads can be made, if anyone wants it.Because of that drama with Pastebin, here are two archives of our greentexts:https://u.smutty.horse/lxqgizelhjx.ziphttps://u.smutty.horse/lzbpjsjvhjs.zipHere's a list of some artists and writers who use these threads:>SNSPonyhttps://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/38560749/#38668858>GFM_Lewdendorffhttps://ponepaste.org/user/GFM_Lewdendorff>Kassazhttps://www.fimfiction.net/user/464822/Kassaz>pinkSPlease put hyper pregnancy behind spoilers, at least if it's not new.Here's a question to stimulate activity while waiting for the birth:What's your greatest fantasy with your wife, and would she be willing to indulge you?Last Thread: >>43297759
>>43487685That’s an extremely cute Bundle Joy
Maybe someday Lewdendorf will come back to finish his Rarity story
>>43488142Today has been an extremely slow day thankfully
I'll try to get my Mare Fair haul posted today. Here's a photograph of my statue of Bundle Joy by Ja0822ck, to start.
>>43488866Looks good
Turn stallions into mares and impregnate them.
Here, I've been meaning to upload this for a few weeks. This is based on the opening of "Rainbow Dash's Grumpy Morning" where she dreams that Pinkie Pie gives her a bomb-flavoured cup cake:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/577588/rainbow-dashs-grumpy-morningThe full quality and intermediate pieces will be in Pregchan in a bit.
>>43490545Very nice
>>43487685lol
>HI ANON! I HEARD YOU HAVE A FASCINATION WITH PREGNANCY, SO I TURNED YOU INTO A MARE AND INVITED THE ENTIRE ROYAL GUARD OVER TO MAKE SURE YOU GET GOOD AND PREGNANT! NO NEED TO THANK ME, I KNOW YOU'LL MAKE A GREAT MOM!
>>43491148No thank you candyass
>>43492077Cute
>>43490541You aren’t wrong
>>43490832Oh the first one got deleted
>>43491148Oh no
>>43494086Since it involves Bundle Joy cross linking this request here. Even though it's not a major focus of her character Finish Line was technically made pregnant during her creation. Not much of her art focuses on that though.I generally see a lot of late stage / large belly art, but how do y'all feel about early stage / subtle belly? I feel like it's under represented, but then I get that it relies heavily on context wheras late stage is clear visually.
>>43494196I actually really do enjoy early stage
>>43494196>I generally see a lot of late stage / large belly art, but how do y'all feel about early stage / subtle belly?I'm not a huge fan of it, personally.>I feel like it's under represented, but then I get that it relies heavily on context wheras late stage is clear visually.Yeah, that's really the entire issue. If you need to have a line and arrow stating she's pregnant in the image, it's like why bother, you know? If it's emphasized properly, however, then it can be nice, sure. It's just that size is one of the easiest ways to do that, and I think it's an overdone way to do that, but still.
>>43491148Cadence!!!
I'm trying to shake off my stupor from Mare Fair. I still need to take some photographs so I can share artwork with you, too. I think I'll start with my Flashfic for this month. I won last month's contest, a first, and got to select the prompt as my reward: Sleeping on an Empty Stomach.You can guess what kind of story I've got in mind with that.>>43494196Very cute, thanks for bringing this to us. I guess I'll post it here since you haven't.Also, kek at Anon Filly in there with a book. She'd be upside-down here, not that she'd be able to tell.
>>43496597>I guess I'll post it here since you haven'tThanks anon, was checking threads late today, drawchad was incredibly based!
>>43496597That’s really nice
It feels good to get back in the groove. Here's my Flashfic for this month:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/526921/37/short-stories-with-pregnant-ponies/sleeping-on-an-empty-stomachA pony from each tribe enjoyed Ponyville’s daylight.The unicorn spoke first. “I envy you pegasi at times, Rainbow.”“I get it.” Rainbow Dash struck a pose from her cloud. “But why?”Rarity continued. “Well, when you were carrying Rainbow Bouquet, you carried on like nothing had changed.”“Are you kidding me?” Rainbow stuck two legs through the cloud’s bottom. “You try flying with a bowling ball swinging between your legs.”“No thank you, and I meant how I always saw you relaxing on a cloud, like you’re doing now.” She swung her hoof dramatically. “I just can’t get comfortable these nights, I’ve even fallen asleep standing occasionally. Still, this is my burden to bear as a unicorn. Oh, I want my beautiful flat tummy back.”“Just dig a hole in the ground and sleep with your gut in it. That’s what I did.” Applejack grinned.Rarity sneered. “You’re crass.”
>>43497538That’s good, also lol Applejack
>>43493669yeah idk what happened to the first as I didn't get any notice>>43497538very nice!
>>43497538Good stuff
>>43499438Nice
Happy Labor Day!Here's the Labor Day video I've been working on all weekend called Bundle's Unlaborly Day:https://u.pone.rs/bjxpyrcy.mp4I made a bunch of mistakes making this and things tend to go by a bit fast. A bunch of clips into the first scene I started to notice degradation. I didn't have enough time to go back and regen them so I did some color correction across the entire scene. Later into the scene the animation isn't consistent between the clips. The Nurse Redheart scene turned out the best in my opinion. The last scene also suffered degradation but I did use a color correction node, even though the colors kind of jump in one part. Also sorry for Bundle being a marelet, the scaling is a bitch to get right.This was pretty much more so a test animation for long videos and I learned that it's a pain in the ass. I spent 2 hours regenning the clip of the bench scene when Tempest walks in. It kept wanting to have Pinkie do Bundle's lines while Tempest walks up to Pinkie and other oddities. I also learned that more than 3 characters is a nightmare to control. Minimax can handle that many but it seems it starts to get confused about who does what. I had to cut a bunch of stuff as things took longer than expected or the gen didn't include part of a lne and I said "fuck it, it's good enough" after grinding gens. Not happy with the overall quality, but it got the story across.From now on, I'll just do short clips and focus on getting the quality better. If you are wondering what causes the degradation, it's due to the last frame image having compression and being re-encoded into latent space as a first frame of the next clip. It carries the compression quality and that compounds as more clips are chained.Also have a bonus oddity that happened:https://u.pone.rs/stianomi.mp4One last thing, Bundle's voice is a combination of Cheerilee (Moss TTS) and Autumn Blaze (RVC)
>>43499714That’s pretty impressive
>>43499714Hey, I was just thinking about your last animation earlier today, and then I remembered what day it is. I'm glad you got some use out of those looks at Bundle Joy I commissioned, kek.>A bunch of clips into the first scene I started to notice degradation.Yeah, that poster becomes horrifying as the scene drags on.>Also sorry for Bundle being a marelet, the scaling is a bitch to get right.I've grown to like her as a bit of a shorty, personally.I found your explanation interesting, thanks for the details.>From now on, I'll just do short clips and focus on getting the quality better.That sounds good to me, I think your last animation came out much better. Here, that should be linked in this thread too:>>43472969https://u.pone.rs/ublqazyp.mp4Of course, there's a lot less motion in this earlier video, but that also means a lot less goes wrong. The different style helps it here too. Anyway, I look forward to seeing what you do next.
>>43499714Not bad
>>43499714Neat stuff
9’s no good
Damn, I should get something done tonight for the occasion, but everyone's doing something distracting me, kek. I'm almost done with another chapter of "Tiny Stories with Huge Pregnant Ponies" so I guess I'll finally finish that in the next few hours.
>>43501452That’ll be fun
>>43501452Whatever you upload next I’m sure will be good
>>43496597Good request
>>43501452soon
>>43502502But how soon?
>>43501879I worked on the next chapter of "Chaotic Conception" for an hour instead. I'll try to work on it for another hour later today before publishing it finally.>>43502502>>43502706I swear I'm writing nearly as fast as I'm able, kek.
>>43502725No need to rush yourself, how soon was a joke
>8
how do I draw and write better pregnant sex
>>43503512Practice makes perfect, but I’m sure Kaz will have some good advice when he stops back in
>>43499438I feel like there’s really not that much pregnant Vinyl
>>43502725I may be done with that chapter now. I'll proofread and perhaps publish it later today.>>43502735You don't have to apologize for a joke, kek.>>43503512I can't help with drawing, but when it comes to writing you've got a normal sex scene and want to involve a new protruding organ, basically. That there's someone new inside it may be emphasized also, or not, depending on what you like. My best advice would be to read more of these sex scenes, so would you like recommendations?
Someone's sliding, again.
>>43504990Appreciate the saves
>>43505086Now I've got to slide into bed, so it's all you guys, kek.
>>43505300I’ll try not to forget lol
>>43504990This is such a nice Fluttershy
>>43505300cute
baby bump
>>43504464>so would you like recommendations?post
Quick boost before I go back to work
>>43505771It really is
I should have no problem getting that published in a little bit longer. I was busy.>>43506319Sure, I'll just need a bit to get around to compiling that list too.
>>43506287Mf you made me laughGood job. Now get the fuck out of here
>>43507364Sounds good
>>43507364Good luck!
I'm almost there.
>>43490541That's my fetish.
>>43509293Sounds good
I've finally finished the third chapter of "Chaotic Conception" for you:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/567441/3/chaotic-conception/short-distance-relationshipI may change the title of this chapter later, but that's unlikely. Now that I'm done with the third chapter of Eris' story, I can start work on the fourth chapter of Eris' story. ^:)I'll share some artwork based on this chapter later.
>>43509461Can’t wait to read it
>>43509461Great work
>>43509571Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I like writing for you guys.
>>43510079Twi draws such a good Eris
>>43509461lucky caramel
>>43510484He really is
>>43510481Agreed.>>43510484I don't know about lucky, kek.
Off 9
>>43511336Very cute Eris
>>43511336Depends on how you define lucky I guess
Alright, I'm finally sharing what I got at Mare Fair over in Pregchan. This adorable statue of Bundle Joy by Ja0822ck is the only thing I'll be able to post here, kek.These little hoofprints that you won't normally see are such a nice attention to detail.
You can get a good feel for her width from this view of her backside.
>>43512774The art turned out great
>>43513075Agreed. I'll try to upload something else later today, unrelated to Mare Fair.
>>43513694Can’t wait
Just a quick bump before bed
I asked Aer0 Zer0-Ri2k to illustrate something based on this short story for this month. You'll have to go to Pregchan or the boorus to see the version with the doodles on her, however:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/526921/32/short-stories-with-pregnant-ponies/dead-tiredPinkie Pie’s eyes cracked open. She lay in bed, her friends sleeping around her. It had been a girls-only sleepover party last night, and Pinkie started looking at her friends’ faces. “I wonder who fell asleep first.”She was confused at why none of them wore doodles. She yawned, scratching her moustache. Pinkie realized she couldn’t see Fluttershy, and twisted herself to look back.There was nothing on Fluttershy’s smiling, sleeping face either. Pinkie also couldn’t remember who fell asleep first, a first for her.Pinkie’s pastern rubbed drool from her cheek, smearing Rainbow Dash’s cutie mark written in marker. She uncovered herself when stretching, and gasped.Her belly was covered in crude little drawings and words calling it *cake storage*, among other things.“Hah, it figures they pranked the only *boy* at the party.” She jiggled herself and giggled, returning to sleep like the moon between her eyes indicated.
>>43515060That is an extremely adorable Pinkie
>>43515060Good stuff as always.
>>43515060Cute
Ever since I went to Mare Fair, I haven't been able to post from one of my computers. The aged cookies expired and it's a pain in the ass, kek. Now that I can finally post again, I'll try to upload something else in a few more hours.Here's a sneak peek.
>>43516449Oh cool, I think I remember that short going off the file name
>>43506319Oh, now that I can write longer posts easily again, let me respond to you before I forget again. So, I'll share a scene I've written first. I usually don't go into too much detail with sex scenes, although that will change soon, and sometimes I skip them completely; I'll use this masturbation scene as an example instead:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/590619/1/holes-in-her-heart/night-is-quietI'm not going to post it here, it's near the end if you don't feel like reading the entire chapter, starting with this:>She scooted her rear end to the edge of the bed, and shoved herself upright when she started to slide off.This is a human scene, and masturbation at that, but I spent much of my word count describing her pregnancy and what she does to it, and I wrote her as using an ultrasound machine to look inside herself while getting off. Basically, we know what masturbation's like, we at least have an idea of how sex works, so you'll want to spend most of your words focussing on pregnancy. Everything else is just to communicate what's necessary, as one way to look at it.It's been a while since I've read this story and its sequel by Klamnei, but I also recall it had some pretty good sex scenes:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/330508/rule-of-threeThere's also Fecundity, but that's really long:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/166496/fecundityI'll try to think of some more recommendations later, if you'd want more.>>43516487You're remembering correctly. I asked him to make her smaller, as you can see by this next sneak peek.
>>43516541Yeah, I’m trying to remember if it was a Fluttershy or Rarity centric short
This piece is by Czu, and the full quality looks so big that I may have to post them on the boorus exclusively, unless I can optimize the files well enough. Anyway, here's the story:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/526921/34/short-stories-with-pregnant-ponies/the-chances-of-being-taken-by-a-sharkRarity relaxed on an inflated ring, enjoying the bygone-to-her sensation of lying prone. She had her eyes closed while Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy around her splashed in the water.She heard Pinkie go underwater, and had a less relaxed look on her face until she resurfaced. “Wow Rarity, they’re really going at it!”Rarity opened her closest-to-her eye, frowning. “I don’t mind that, Pinkie, I’m used to it. What I do mind is you poking me to keep them going.”“Well you should be used to that too by now.”“Pregnancy is so fascinating. Did you know some kinds of sharks eat each other in the womb?” Pinkie and Rarity glanced at Rarity’s belly squeezed in the ring, then Fluttershy, back-and-forth, and settled on Fluttershy. “Um, well, I mean, um... Help me Mr. Teeth!”Rarity screamed when a shark swam by so Fluttershy could grab his fin and ride away.
>>43517007That is a gorgeous Rarity
Writing's going well, although I stopped before an hour had passed to look at the board, kek.>>43517014Agreed. Simple front views are nice too.
>>43517007Oh, here's the first version, before I forget to share it here. The difference is clear.
>>43517279Yeah she looks great
>>43501452Maybe I'll get this done today, I don't know.
>>43518642Fingers crossed
>9
>>43518642Such a nice Celestia
Don’t die overnight
>>43518343nice luna
>>43518642Nah, I worked more on Eris' story, whose next chapter is roughly halfway done now.Post your favourite comic pages or something, anything.
>>43519995I think this is a really ice Celestia
>>43520154ice?
Half an hour to page nine is some impressive sliding. Here's another fine comic I like admiring.Hey, some nice Eris got posted to Pregchan, and the boorus, for anyone unaware.
This is probably my favourite overall so far, due entirely to the great side view of Applejack in the first panel here.
>>43521212its cute
>>43521212I am a big fan of the side view of AJ here
>>43520737This is another great one, I love the low angle shot a lot
>>43519995What a nice belly
The artist asked me for advice on drawing a pregnant pony. I said he should consider making her wider, so he did.
>>43522283That looks really nice
I ate a lot today and my stummy feels kinda pregante
My stream with GrindaGoat has started, come watch if you'd like:http://piczel.tv/watch/Grindavikur
>>43523378Well, that lasted only about an hour, but it's available here, for now:https://recordings-production.piczel.tv/69641/stream_ANkVUovbS78wlQrx.mp4I'll post progress over in Pregchan later. Cold Blooded Twilight's streaming too, and may get a pregnant pony done, but I don't know:https://picarto.tv/CBT
>>43519995>>43520737>>43521212I love how far their navels are poking out, they look so swollen and gropable!
>>43523946I have to agree
Point of view: You the viewer are carrying your beautiful sleepy wife, and child, to bed. Going by Rainbow Dash's drool, both of you will be getting a good night's rest tonight.
>>43524612Will a centaur come out?
>>43524650Nah, preferably a pony.
>>43524650I feel like she’d be bigger if that were the case
>>43515060I forgot to share this at first. He also doodled this Limestone real quick on stream and asked me if she turned me on, to which I responded "Fuck yeah."
>>43525342kek
9 is no place to be
Well, guess what I finally colored in.
>>43525791That is really, really good
>>43525791Outstanding
>>43525791Agreed, very nice work here, with very smooth movements. I really like how big her mane looks with this perspective.
>>43526673It does look really good
>>43525791The motion of her navel is fantastic
>>43527928That’s really nice
>>43528386Agreed.
Mrs. Cake is so fucking hot.
>>43529052She really is
Quick bump before the shift starts
>>43529061Yeah.
>>43528595Plum
>>43525791Thank you for sharing
>>43531029This is a really nice one, love the belly movement
>>43529785Adorable
Damn, we need to talk about something, kek.
>>43532507You aren’t wrong.
>>43532563You guys could answer the threadly question, say.
>>43533246Honestly what I want would just be to hold her, so I doubt she’d be against it
I just posted something just finished over in Pregchan. I can't post her here.>>43534001Aw, agreed.
>>43534454Incredible stuff, was that your comm?
>>43534564Yes, but I let him do most anything he wanted with the idea.
What are your thoughts on sizes, say? Ponies would have to be awfully stretchy in some cases.
I mean, there's not a lot of room in there, it seems.
>>43535448Stretchy makes sense, I can’t imagine how big Mrs Cake must’ve been near the end
>>43535678Extremely huge, yeah?
>>43535678>>43536204Yeah. Here's Silver Sweet's interpretation, but I'd go a bit bigger typically, probably more like Bundle Joy's size here. Still, what a view.
>>43536809Yeah she was probably huge
>>43537717Yeah, and that's hot.
>>43538406I love how dark her belly is here, wonder what made the artist go for that, did you ask them too?
>>43538601That's just shading, unless you choose to view it differently, kek.
>>43538603Oh, yeah that makes sense, I figured it was probably the case, but it seemed so localized I wasn’t sure
Alright, I think I'll manage to get some more writing done today, and definitely tomorrow. Are any of you guys working on anything?
>>43539362Only my job really
>>43539805This is a perfect Fluttershy
>>43538603Fair
>>43537395Witchtaunter needs to draw more pregnant mares
>>43540964Pay him and he will, kek.
>>43541394Always an option
>>43541394Hot
>>43539362Instead I got some done yesterday and none today, kek. I'll definitely have Eris' next chapter done within the month.
>>43542734It’s all good, your work is appreciated
>>43543102Thanks.
Testing
>>43542734Can’t wait to see it
>>43544410This is a really nice Limestone
>>43545486Graphene does some real good pregnant mares
>>43544410>"Wow, this really turns you on, huh?">"Good, because we're going to be making a lot more after this. Welcome to farm life, stud."
>>43546276Hot
>>43542734I'm getting there.>>43546276Nice, kek.>>43545806He does, but the artist of that piece is Comfyplum.
>>43547608Oh damn, I really thought that was Graphene’s for like years.
>>43522283Hey, check her out. The artist is CraftedBurb, by the by.
>>43548288She turned out really cute.
>>43548598Agreed, she looks amazing
>>43547608I’ve always loved this pic
Would you give up your humanity (human form) to have a foal with your waifu?
>>43549672Sure, but begrudgingly. Preferably I wouldn't need to go that far. Temporary would be preferred to permanent here.
>>43549672I definitely would not want to stay a pony
>>43549672I definitely would want to stay a pony forever so I can have so many foals with my waifu.
>>43551246Whatever works for you
I'm so bad about uploading things in a timely fashion, kek. I've got a few other things I need to upload that were finished before this. I commissioned an artist, Reina Lim, for something with Applejack, and figured it would be cute to base it on this story again, because she has her hat resting on her belly:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/526921/4/short-stories-with-pregnant-ponies/theyre-revoltingRemember, she's sized for twins. There's also a larger version I'll post here later. Everything's over in Pregchan and I'm uploading her to the boorus right now.
>>43551848I just saw this one on the booru, she’s super cute
>>43551848I think the smaller version makes the most sense, but I'd be lying if I claimed to not love how her belly smushes against the ground with her bigger gut.
>>43549672yes
>>43552377It is really nice, love the smush
>>43552377Unf
>>43551848This is a nice short for sure
>>43541394I just might, but I don’t actually know what I’d want to ask for.
bump
>>43554249Good save
Expecting mares in bathtubs are cute.
>>43555471What an adorable little island she’s got there
There's some human stuff over in Pregchan now I either can't or don't feel like posting here.
>>43556822Those are all really nice, love the bottomless versions of the AJ and Adagio pic
Pony Quarantine's taking five-word requests again. If you join his Patreon now, he may accept yours, it's only a dollar each month.
>>43558945That is super cute
>>43558080I’ll have to keep that in mind for next time
>>43558339We don’t get a lot of Bon Bon
>>43560189Who doesn’t enjoy a wardrobe malfunction?
>>43560852Pinkie should do more food art like this
>>43560189Cutie
>>43560586Probably Rarity.
>>43558080Applejack's belly's full of Apples.
>>43562133I love it
>>43561711Yeah, but I’m certainly enjoying it
>>43562704kek
>>43563178Unf
I meant to share this with you before Wildegems posted her, but she's public now and I'm lazy. I asked him for Eris based on a scene from the third chapter of "Chaotic Conception":>>43509461>Her mind went to her body frozen as a statue striking an obscene pose, mooning tourists.I'll upload everything to Pregchan, and this to the boorus, in a bit.
>>43563753She makes a nice statue
>>43563753Love it
>>43542734>I'll definitely have Eris' next chapter done within the month.Fuck. Well, I'm expecting to make more progress later today, so I should be able to finish her before it becomes a month. It's a longer chapter, not quite the longest I've written, however, so far.
>>43565071You’ve got it in the bag
Bumping before I’m too sick to do so
Up off 8
>>43565071Alright, I may be done. She still needs work, but not much more.
>>43566880Poor Panko
Hey, I'm posting some new Mrs. Cake on Pregchan right now. She can't be posted here for obvious reasons.I'll try to finish my Flashfic for this month tonight, also.
>>43568162That’s a real good Mrs Cake

>>43568162Great stuff
Alright, I'll get that Flashfic uploaded today, or the next chapter of Eris' story, which just needs proofreading and maybe a bit more editing. For now, resting would be nicer, however.>>43568683Seeing her belly poking out through a cloud will always do it for me.
>>43569132Take a break if you need it
Off 8
>>43569132Yeah it does look good
>>43569132Here's the Flashfic, nothing titillating this time:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/526921/38/short-stories-with-pregnant-ponies/ive-never-died-beforeI've Never Died BeforePrincess Luna ignored the snoring behind her in bed; it wasn’t what was keeping her awake. She left and walked out to the balcony, looking at her beautiful full moon hanging in the night sky. She ignored the full moon hanging down between her legs, and instead looked downwards at the night guards far below.Her husband would die one day. The life they had created, a part of her for not a moon more, would follow him to the afterlife. She wasn’t crying.Her sister had traced their lineages during her lunacy. She knew which guard was traced back to her, with whom, and the accomplishments of his ancestors between them. The many lines they’d drawn had become a work of art.She looked to the moon again. She’d watch pieces of herself grow old and die, but not all was meant to be so permanent as the moon.
>>43570678Poor Luna
>>43570858It can't be helped. It's a cycle like day and night.
>>43571321This is gonna look really good when it’s done
I'm holding a tiny vote over in Pregchan, if anyone cares.The intermediate pieces are over in Pregchan too. I asked Wildegems which idea he wanted to do next:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/526921/36/short-stories-with-pregnant-ponies/goodnight-demonslayer“Nominative determinism is a myth, Rainbow Dash.” The library was tense. Twilight frowned at Rainbow’s face and hoof gesture made when she was speaking. “You can’t name your foal “Rainbow Demonslayer.” There are laws against it.”“I thought you said it was a myth?”The unicorn looked away nervously, stroking her mane. “Well, early Equestria was superstitious, and a little safety doesn’t hurt anypony.”“It hurts me!” Rainbow stood and reared until she could gently set her belly on the table between them, gesturing at it with a hoof. “It hurts her too! I don’t want to name my foal something lame!”“Rainbow, with your late term, you’ve already had the premonition about what to name her!” Twilight pointed at Rainbow, but not her, for emphasis. “You’d be denying your foal her true name with a stupid name like “Demonslayer” and you know it! Now what is it?”“Rainbow Bouquet...”
>>43575806What an angle
The fourth, and by far the longest, chapter of "Chaotic Cravings" is now ready for you to read:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/584570/4/chaotic-cravings/a-craving-for-climaxThis was a lot of work, I'm taking a month off, kek.
>>43577484You definitely earned it
>>43575806Twi’s face is great
>>43577599Thank you. I hope you guys enjoy it.
>>43577484What a belly
>>43585135Harshwhinney’s always’s nice to see
Pregnancy is basically an idle game.The full quality, and a pony sketch, is over in Pregchan.
>>43588830Oh this is a nice one for sure
>>43588830I thought I smudged my phone for a sec
>>43584423She’s doing her best
>>43588830>a pony sketchI don't think I'll ever have her finished, but she's still quite the view.I'm thinking about writing a sequel to "Almost Alone on the Moon" this year—Czu just finished some nice artwork I've had in mind—and I think she'd be better off separate than as a chapter in "Tiny Stories with Huge Pregnant Ponies" that would be much smaller, but what do you guys think? About whom would you like for me to write this Nightmare Night?
>>43596024I’m gonna suggest a Nightmare Night party following a pregnant Berry Punch or something of the sort
>>43596568Alright. I wonder what the other guys will suggest.
>>43598629Hopefully something good
>>43566880lucky pokey
>>43598668He can’t keep getting away with it
It's past time to get on those trades, I guess.
>>43605801That Luna’a adorable
Hopefully it’s a slow work day
It has in fact been a slow work day
You'll enjoy seeing Klamnei's birthday gift over in Pregchan. I commissioned an animation of a scene from his "Fecundity" I've always found funny. I'm uploading her to the boorus now too, but Derpibooru is giving me trouble currently, so you'll need to use one of the other three if you want to check there.
>>43611815Goodness she's large
>>43611815Oh wow
>10
>>43611815Good stuff
Anyway, I haven't written in a week, with everything going on, but I'll try to start a streak starting today. Wish me luck.It's a little late, but is there only going to be one suggestion for Nightmare Night?>>43619871This is probably the best piece of that:https://derpibooru.org/images/2064855
>>43620038I’d give another if I hadn’t already suggested Berry
Board’s fast today I guess
>>43620038If it’s gotta be a horror story you could always have some stallion knock up Granny Smith.
Late night save
>>43620038I managed to get some writing done, finally. I'll try to keep it up.I'll get woman Chrysalis uploaded too but, for now, look at this. Carnifex has started on another fine piece of the queen, which will mimic the style of Don Bluth this time around.
>>43623983I like that a lot
>>43625092I forgot to mention that exact pose won't be used, he misinterpreted my stick figure a bit, but yeah, she still looks nice.
>>43611815Always love more Gleaming Shield stuff
>>43626614Well I’m certainly interested in the new pose
>>43623983>I'll get woman Chrysalis uploaded too but, for now, look at this.Right, here she is, based on this passage. Everything else, including a version with an outie lighter on the eyes, is over in Pregchan:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/590619/1/holes-in-her-heart/night-is-quietIt wasn’t a large house by any means, it didn’t feel large so full of children and trinkets and toys and packed boxes, but it was hers. Her room was directly across from the nursery, the bath was between them, and the rooms for her children were at the far end of the house. She carefully walked on her way to them through the narrow hallway made all the narrower by the junk that had stayed in its spot for years.Her gut caught one of the lighter boxes atop many others and moved it just a tad. She paused, hand on the wall waiting to see if it would fall over, yet it held its spot. She kept her hand pushing against the wall and looked back to find a clean spot on the floor for her foot. After taking one step back, her other hand shoved the box back in its precarious place; she more carefully walked past it and the others this time. She once again thought about how she should throw away some of the junk, and once again remembered how some of it was older than she: family photograph albums and old clothes and silverfish-chewed books and unused fireworks and so much more kept in a cardboard box shuffled around endlessly. One day, she’d clean it up; one day, she’d make one or several of them clean it up with her, or without her. She checked her chest to make certain she wasn’t hanging out again, and looked at her rear’s reflection in an old mirror propped against the wall to see her panties weren’t askew. She nevertheless snaked her thumbs underneath her shirt to straighten it, and then at her hips to straighten out her remaining covering.
>>43633179Fantastic stuff
>>43633179>a version with an outie lighter on the eyes
>>43636545Oh nice
>>43636545Cute
>>43636545Big!
>>43630771I hope Jargon draws some more preg’d up mares soon.
Expect a new short story later today. It'll be another chapter of an anthology.>>43640860Almost, but not every time, he has drawn them has been one of my commissions. I recommend ponying up for the pregnant ponies if you want one in his style.
>>43641311Yeah, I guess I’d have to get it myself then.
>>43641311>Expect a new short story later today. It'll be another chapter of an anthology.I'm unexpectedly busy today, so I'm pushing publishing back to tomorrow. I just don't have time to proofread the chapter before I have to do some other stuff. Sorry.
>>43643654No worries, shit happens
I guess it's a good thing I didn't publish yesterday, kek. I'll try to get that done within the hour.
>>43644138Cool
AugustBebel did a fine job, although I'm sure you guys remember getting glimpses at her before she was finished, last year. I really need to get faster so I can run through my backlog already. You can find the intermediate pieces over in Pregchan, but she's too big for anything but the boorus. Here's the story:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/582238/5/tall-tales-of-the-one-true-queen-and-her-many-children/a-simple-demandA Simple DemandQueen Chrysalis desired to sit on her throne, so it would happen. The only problem was her inability to walk. Flight would be foolish, for every tunnel of the cave from her current position to the throne room was far too constricted; she preferred to fly with the ether all around her, and perhaps one or two of her children supporting her from underneath—much harder underground. Two of her children were available to her at all times, to serve her every whim, and she had attempted kindness, as befitting her royal status, but she could only be turned to stare at a different corner of the chamber holding her for so long until it bored her. The children staring back at her from inside resembled all of the other broods, and no longer provided entertainment. On her throne, her changelings would be passing by her constantly working every moment of every day and night—her mouth split open in disgust at the thought of the royal ponies dictating their schedule, another reason to stay away from the open skies. It was less safe, to move from the innermost chamber, but the throne room was hardly pregnable; she closed her eyes and imagined some foolhardy pony—some stupid stallion—penetrating her hive only to be brought before her massive form, shown the body into which the remainder of his life force would be drained until his death.-
Her mind’s eye summoned a vague stallion, then put armor all around him, after that blood on his face, red, his. She imagined attraction on his face next, at the sight of her, before remembering what stallions always showed in its place: horror, or disgust. Disgust interested her more this time, and she imagined turning her head away from him to touch the tip of her nose with a hoof and stare down at him. Whatever words stallions said to her always turned into mush when dredged up from her memories, so she focussed more on the masculine features of his voice while he spat venom to which she was immune, held in place by her many grown children flanking him. She would need merely to lean forward, sending more of her children inside hanging over the edge of her throne, and flap her wings to stay in place for her children to know their orders. This was always better when the stallion lacked wings, so his form became harder in her mind with a horn on his forehead while her children flew him ever closer to her. She shuddered. He would be set where she had sat on her throne, an honour, with her children holding his legs and aligning his fifth with her second mouth to swallow him. She would need merely to sit down, and feel his bones break, but stallions had one limb boneless. Broken underneath her in body, spirit would follow, and she would either consume him in his dying moments or he would survive to feed her again. Some of the only words from stallions she bothered to remember in clarity were their last: always something she forced them to say, and always about those parts of themselves who would live on through her in the most base sense. It was a shame she had no poetry books with which to understand better the things to make ponies say.-She felt one of her limbs twitching, one inside, squirming not against those like it nor the mostly numb membrane, but jamming itself closer to her core; it was enough to break her reverie and return a frown to her face around the drool that had formed on it. She called for her two sons—the ears on her head swivelled much like her neck while she scanned her surroundings for them—and *one* walked into her sight with a smile. Thinking for a moment, she realized the slight pressure against her rear womb to be the other—asleep—and gently felt for his head with her hindhoof, gently kicking it once she had a good idea where it sat on her; she heard a thump, and a dozen or so moments later he walked into her view to stand by his brother without a smile.
They heard her command to be carried, where, and paused for a moment before his and his horn glowed. She, a kind mother, sprung forth her wings to lift herself from the stone floor until their magic could coat her underside entirely; her wings instantly stopped once she was certain they wouldn’t allow her to fall. Still, they stood there sputtering, looking at the choice of tunnels, until she raised a foreleg at one of the exits she knew would accommodate her. Boredom yet held her alongside them, and she stared at a rock jutting out of the cave from different angles while she crossed the chamber. Her forehoof grabbed her attention next; she admired it set against those many smaller she was making.It was unnecessary to pay attention to them, but the sharp rocks jutting forth from the tunnel she’d chosen put her at unease once her attention ventured outwards. Her horn, and those less impressive of her changelings, never gave her the same impression, although they also knew better than to stab at her with them. She turned her attention to the tunnel’s ceiling, and realized it to be much taller than she remembered: Eventually, she recalled the passage to be only partially of her changelings’ design, mostly discovered while they dug parallel channels. She could fly some of the way, it occurred to her, but her sons were doing an adequate job so far. She took a deep breath, dissatisfied with how it ended prematurely with pain. She looked downwards to the forwards edge of her thorax; all empty space in her body had long been filled, and in the dark she couldn’t discern most of the little bodies disappearing deeper inside where her lungs sat.Tension was beginning to set in across her back. Her face donned a new scowl while she felt herself tilting slowly and increasingly to her left side. When supported from her belly’s bottom, all of the pressure sat equally across her children, where it belonged; when she flew with her wings, gravity dragged her gravidity downwards into a teardrop’s shape, which still spread it equally and relieved her somewhat; when her thorax was shifting across her massive womb, however, she almost felt as if she were being pulled apart very gradually. The only small relief came when she wrapped her neck and legs flat around herself. Her son flanking her left side wheezed before making other queer noises, while she quietly stared at him; worse, his failure increased the work expected of the other, whom she couldn’t see but whose coughing passed its way into her skull like any other sound in the hive.
She began to wonder if he were merely weak, or if something else were the matter. He took another bow-legged step forward, quivering. His magic was beginning to fail, she felt her membrane squeezing several holes through it and then joining into greater holes as she and they started falling out into the cave’s open air. She made herself wrap around her body more forcefully while a knot in her back tried not to unravel, and her attention briefly went to one of the children inside: He smiled back at her sharp fangs whose dull sides nearly pressed against his head, oblivious to the hatred leaking from her face. Her body rocked further from another step, and her left legs were nearly touching the ground rather than curled well above it. She looked at her son’s face with her left eye, the other looking at some rear end jammed into her cheek, to see his eyes shut tight. She couldn’t tell if he were breathing, and her pupil looked to the cave floor to see sharp little rocks instead of a smoothed surface; she looked at him again and then past him, to see several sharper rocks jutting out of the wall. She didn’t want to imagine how painful it would be to give birth like a cockroach, although—figuring everything—there would probably be only a single death or two, not hers, neither including his.Now her horn glowed, green magic shooting from her horn and tunneling into the cave wall like worms. She started pulling herself upright until her wings could spread. He gave out and collapsed once she was carrying herself above the ground. Her shape stretched to the floor and started to spread across it, but her better son immediately brushed much of the debris away before it could be trapped underneath her. Her womb was spreading towards the sharp walls, slowly, and her wings were growing tired, but not too tired that she couldn’t save herself; her useful son walked around her perimeter brushing away more debris, with his magic made into a cylinder to hold her like a drinking glass. When he was finished, he looked to her for approval, and she smiled at him.-The cave’s ceiling took most of her view, yet none of her attention, while she waited. She had been sneering at him, but he couldn’t tell in his daze on the ground, so she was thereafter sneering at nothing with a foreleg drumming on herself the only noise other than his pathetic sounds of exhaustion. Her unborn children writhed in the tighter magical grip. One of the rear ends near her drumming hoof bucked out with all its might, and she instantly slapped it down back into her shape.
All eyes—all that mattered anyway, and many that mattered in no way—stared back at the weaker son when he picked himself up from the floor. He dared not to look back at them, though he couldn’t have shaken from fear any more than he was already. Queen Chrysalis saw two options available to her while she stared at her son, first at his head, second through the holes in his legs, and third imagining some additional holes where they wouldn’t belong: She could replace him, or draw from her endless well of maternal mercy by easing his burden. The first tempted her greatly. Her eyes stared at him, still weak, until they lost focus and refocussed a bit lower, on herself. One of her new children was asleep and peaceful within her, and the sight—or a hoof—hit her heart.She supposed, as their queen and mother, the burden of their endless failures ultimately would be her responsibility forever. Her eyes flicked to the sharp walls of the cave again, another reason to show such undeserved clemency. She looked away from them and spread her wings, flying from the ethereal glass holding her and not waiting for them to buzz her way; she heard both of them take after her immediately, one stronger and one weaker. Now with her movement under her control, she lazily glanced at the sharp edges that were possibly too close and checked only for chokepoints; otherwise, she knew one would fly ahead to cover the edge with his body and push her out of the way.-The weaker son noticed a jagged such spike jutting out of the cave wall, panicking at the thought of his queen catching it and being gutted. A thousand deaths before many thousands more were preferable. He flew along her perimeter, identified the point that could poke her, and covered it with his body. Seconds later he felt her fly by and try to impale him on it. His hooves fit themselves into the cave best they could and he pushed backwards with all of his might. Her motherly embrace looked as if it were trying to swallow him again with how it spread like honey over a fly, but she was pushed away and to safety through him. He felt that he were leaking perhaps, and smiled.He knew his mother had showered him with mercy, and dislodged himself from the spike to continue escorting her.
>>43644474Can’t wait to read this after work
>>43644474This was a good one for sure
>>43644998Thanks.>>43596024I don't think I'm going to get anything big finished for Nightmare Night this year, more likely a chapter of Tempest Shadow's anthology and that's it, kind of like last year when I started Queen Chrysalis' anthology. Sorry, I'm wearing out a little.
>>43645464Hey don’t worry about it, it’s good to take breaks.
>>43645464No biggie take all the time you need
Board seems quick today.
I've been meaning to upload some new Mrs. Cake artwork, no accompanying story, so I'll get around to that soon.
>>43647069Awesome
Slow day today
>>43648561Such a rough night
>>43649969Cute, don’t think I’ve seen this
>>43651345Poor Spike
>>43649969What a good face
>>43648174This is real nice
I got some good writing done, time to sleep.
>>43654682That’s great to hear
I've got some new Eris I'm about to post in Pregchan. I won't be able to post her here, on account of her uncovered mammal mammaries, unlike Eris here.
>>43656352Always nice to see new Eris art
>>43654682That’s a real nice Chrysalis
>>43656840Agreed, and Cold Blooded Twilight will be finishing another later today, who also won't be able to be posted here.
>>43657565Awesome
We need a bump, so here:>>43604205>>43604209What are you up to lately, generator guy? You usually do something for Nightmare Night, right? I'll have another chapter of Tempest Shadow's story ready then, but nothing else, unfortunately.
>>43659054I hope he’s still around, his animation was neat
>>43659054Still here. Just haven't been in the Nightmare Night spirit this year. Don't have anything planned but I might gen something if I got the time.>>43659497Thank you for enjoying the animation. I don't have time to do an animation for Nightmare Night but you never know.I do plan on genning something for the winner of Ms. MLP like I've been doing the past few years. If Ashleigh Ball wins, I'll do an AJ and RD gen. If Faust wins, I'll do Fausticorn. Otherwise it'll be whatever pony wins.
>>43659927That’ll be nice
Well, I've finished another chapter of Tempest Shadow's story, all ready for Nightmare Night.>>43659927It's nice to see you're still around.>Don't have anything planned but I might gen something if I got the time.Cool, no worries if you don't.>I do plan on genning something for the winner of Ms. MLP like I've been doing the past few years.Right, I overlooked that. That'll be nice, I'm sure.
>>43644463I love her so much. Make her ass BIGGER
>>43661136She’d wear it well
>>43657565Hey, she's over in Pregchan and on the boorus by now.>>43661136Hah, I don't believe I even asked for it like that, he just wanted to draw it huge. Personally, I like how tiny her butt is. When I finish one of my trades, I'll be able to show you some really nice, and fairly accurate in this respect, artwork that's been done for a while.
>>43662952Wing kicks must be a pain
>>43662600You're so darn tasteful with your hyperpreg. At least I can rely on weird artists to be a degen like me. I dont know why but something about that pose and the ridiculous proportions drive me wild.
So I've been out of practise for drawing for a bit now, but I've been thinking of doing some sketches. Any /r/equests?image is my most recent finished drawing. Not going to be going that far with anything here, just some sketching, but I'm okay with hyper and stuff.
>>43664306Might as well start it off. Any chance of a very pregnant as fuck Nightmare Moon still trying to look intimidating and insisting she's fine despite looking like she's a sneeze away from her water breaking on the spot? Bonus points for a very active belly.
>>43664306Could I request a Fluttershy pic with her belly nearly brushing the ground while she’s contemplating eating the lunch she made for Angel Bunny? And maybe some large leaky teats?
>>43663924I'd imagine two extra limbs wouldn't feel nice at all once they start stretching in there, yeah, at least relatively. That's two extra limbs that can be jammed somewhere she wouldn't prefer.>>43664108>You're so darn tasteful with your hyperpreg. At least I can rely on weird artists to be a degen like me.Thank you, kek. I treat it like a guilty pleasure, so I try to be as tasteful as you can be with it, is one way to put it.>I dont know why but something about that pose and the ridiculous proportions drive me wild.I keep trying to come up with or find new poses for her, and he did an excellent job with her there. At least for Queen Chrysalis, hyper pregnancy makes perfect sense.I really need to finish up the stories for some more hyper pregnancy artwork I've got. Next year, I'm going to be a bit more diligent and give myself deadlines; if I can't write about the artwork within the self-imposed deadline, I'll just share it already.>>43664306Why thank you. Don't do mine over anyone else's, if it comes to that, but I've got an idea you may like. So, I posted these, and this image completes the trifecta of what mares from each tribe have to deal with:>>43662952>>43663401My request would be your own idea of wing kicks, prenatal magic, or Earth pony strength from the womb. I suppose Mrs. Cake would be dealing with both at once, or Princess Celestia with all three. Wherever and with whomever you take the idea, if you choose, would be awesome to see.
>>43504740>>43504990>>43524612Hey, check her out, she just got finished.You the viewer are carrying your beautiful wife and child, your precious sun and precious son, to bed because she asked nicely. Call it nuclear fusion what's happening in there next to her black hole of a stomach. You've just got one more flight of stairs before you can set her down in bed, and maybe she'll eat that piece of cake off you instead of the plate if you can hurry.
>>43665217Oh my, that one’s really good
>>43666224Cute
>>43664582>>43664603>>43664960working on these requests, I should be able to get a couple done by tnpreview of the first one!
>>43667196Off to a good start!
>>43667196Oh shoot that's mine. Can't wait!
Quick bump while I can
>>43668652Something about this is unsettling
>>43664582Here's the first one, I couldn't help myself and decided to colour it! Since I put some work into this one I'll put some extra work into the others too.
>>43669344Holy shit thanks! Full term big mares are the greatest, especially royal ones.Would want to be right up against that belly for what little time remains.
>>43669344Very nice work, Nypod. I always love seeing that bit of her cutie mark find its way on her belly like that. The effect with her mane also looks great, and yet I zoom in to see how simple it is. You even blurred the background, another nice little detail.
>>43669344This looks amazing
>>43669344Incredible work. I wonder how many she's carrying in there..
Out of the mane 6 who would be the most emotional during pregnancy?
>>43670445Rarity and I don’t even think it’s close
>>43669344Fantastic job
>Nightmare Night is upon us and The Dazzlings decided to dress up in classical Nightmare Night costumes...well...except for Sonata. I don't think she quite got the memo.Happy Nightmare Night!
>>43672234I love it
This is the only chapter this time around, but it's a fun one, based on this adorable artwork TheNyPod4 made just a bit over a year ago:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/574592/15/short-stories-about-fizzle-before-she-pops/costumes-and-frights-sweet-and-funCostumes and Frights, Sweet and FunThe ponies on the other side of Tempest’s window smiled in their costumes and ran through the crowds. This was her first Nightmare Night, the first in a very long time anyway, and she was almost thankful for the knocking at her door interfering with her recollection of those old memories, almost. She frowned just a little when the knocking repeated itself, and spoke before bending down to grab the doorknob. “I’m sorry, but I don’t have any candy to give away tonight.” She knew she wouldn’t have been able to help herself if there were any in the house, so keeping it out was the easiest way to avoid helping herself.“I had a hunch you’d say that, a sense you could say, a *Pinkie* sense.” Pinkie sitting on her front porch spookily waved her forelegs at Tempest’s unamused face with “ooohs” and “aaahs.” Before Tempest could reply, Pinkie had walked inside and set up shop right next to her, pulling tubes of paint and little wooden cutouts out of her mane. She squirted what looked like blue paint on her left frog, and then rubbed it into Tempest’s side.“You barge into my house and start painting me?” The cold paint sent a shiver down her back, but she immediately arranged her upset face back. “I could throttle you for that, you know, I’d be within my rights.”“I also brought candy for you to give out tonight, since I knew you didn’t have any!” There was a bag of candy next to Pinkie, and Tempest couldn’t tell if she’d walked in with it, pulled it from her mane, or what.Tempest leaned over to see much of her right side was now navy blue. “You have a Pinkie sense for that?”She shook her head. “Nuh uh, don’t be a silly filly. I asked around the candy shops, duh.”“Oh, my mistake.” Tempest said it sarcastically. She raised her left foreleg for Pinkie to paint her belly behind it. “So, what am I, exactly? You better not tell me it’s a blimp.”“You’re going to be a fishbowl, obviously, you’ve already got the water for it.” Pinkie rocked Tempest’s pregnancy forward a little with her hoof while covering more of it in blue. Tempest grunted at feeling Pinkie’s hoof sink in until it met the little fish inside, particularly when she felt him shift to the other side of her not-so-little aquarium.“And, if I tell you to leave?” Pinkie looked up at her with such an innocent and sad face that Tempest involuntarily looked away, then sighed. “So, a fishbowl?” She flipped one of the cutouts on the floor to reveal a crude fish’s image on the other side. “I can see you planned this.”
“Yes sirree, Temper.” Tempest wasn’t sure she liked that nickname. Pinkie stood—Tempest was glad she was walking with three legs and not tracking paint everywhere—and walked just outside—it only lightly crossed Tempest’s mind to close the door—to grab something from behind a bush. “I hid the rim of the bowl here last night!” It was wood painted white, already blue around the bottom to match her. She walked around and started coating the other hemisphere of Tempest’s globe in blue, and used the tip of her hoof alongside another tube of paint to draw little air bubbles. “Pregnancy costumes are fun. When Mrs. Cake was carrying the twins, she was an oven! I didn’t want you to miss out on the opportunity.”Pinkie smiled at Tempest, and she smiled back, involuntarily.-Tempest tried to not think about how difficult it was going to be to wash off the paint, especially since Pinkie had slathered her underside where it was hard for her to reach before she could say anything. The rim sat on her back, and Pinkie was using a roll of tape she took from her mane to stick the fish to her side. “There we go, you’re all ready!”She looked Pinkie up-and-down, seeing nothing different. “Just what are you, anyway?”Pinkie turned around, used every tube of paint she’d brought, and turned around with a face full of colours outnumbering the tubes Tempest could see. “I’m just a clown tonight!”“You’re always a clown.”“Thank you!”There would’ve been another knock on the door, if it had been closed. Instead, Tempest smiled—Pinkie was already smiling—at some fillies and colts walking towards them dressed as a butterfly, a princess, a witch, and other things she couldn’t care to identify. They chanted in unison about Nightmare Night, its fright, and wanting something sweet to bite. It nearly summoned those memories back to the forefront of her mind, until Pinkie started digging through the bag she’d brought. “Here you go! Each of you little foals gets a marshmallow sandwich.” She leaned in closer to whisper to them conspiratorially, looking at the bushes for spies first. “If you eat them quickly, I don’t think Nightmare Moon will notice.” They checked for spies of the night also before taking their treats and quickly running off, some of them not bothering to put the snack in their pillow cases and instead eating them while they ran.“Marshmallow sandwiches, huh? I really went all out this year.” Tempest looked at the bag, and just as quickly looked away.“You always put in extra, Tempest.” Pinkie patted her withers, and noticed one of the fish had fallen off her bump. She hummed in thought. “I guess tape doesn’t stick well to the oil paint, but I don’t think you would’ve appreciated lead.”“Very funny.” Tempest rolled her eyes.-
Tempest was alone now, giving out candy to another cohort of children, trying not to smile too much and drop the bag of sweets on the floor. Everypony looked Pinkie’s way when she walked towards them; she was stopping occasionally to lift her hoof and block out the sun that wasn’t in her eyes while she looked around. Soon enough she approached them. “Hey, has anypony seen Sunny Sparkler? I can’t find him anywhere!” The fillies and colts looked around for a moment before turning back to her. “Oh, there he is.” Pinkie walked over to Tempest and patted her belly. “You must’ve been really hungry, huh Tempest?” Pinkie leaned over to scream at her belly. “Are you still alive in there, Sparkler?” As if Pinkie and her son had planned it, she felt, then saw, something poke out from her side, far enough for each of the little ones to see it. “Oh, good. I hope you’re not planning on putting another foal in your belly anytime soon, Tempest.”Tempest turned to her, and could see her gesturing with her eyes and eyebrows towards the foals, so she turned to them and thought for a moment. Their eyes stared back silently, first at her face, then many pairs of little eyes glancing below at her now-lopsided belly imagining the poor foal inside. She leaned down, and licked her lips. “Maybe. Have all of you been good lately?” They didn’t answer before turning tail and screaming.Tempest chuckled, and then she felt a little bad about it. “I hope we didn’t scare them too much.”“Nah, they’ll be fine. Besides,” she pushed against Tempest to set her rocking like a pendulum, “you look full to me!”Tempest caught the laughter in her throat and swallowed it, not that Pinkie hadn’t noticed. She changed the topic. “Sunny Sparkler?”Pinkie nodded with a smile. “Yeah, what do you think about naming him that?” She grinned as widely as possible.“No.”-Another batch of foals galloped away with their latest sweets. Tempest smiled. Pinkie stuck her tongue out while blindly rifling through the bag of treats. She pulled one out. “Oh goodie, the last one! What do you say, Tempest, you want it?”Pinkie held it out near Tempest’s nose, and she smelled it. She wanted it, imagined herself eating it, and blinked before looking away and imagining herself frowning at a scale. “I shouldn’t, no. I’m trying not to eat more sweets.”“I was hoping you’d say that.” Pinkie swallowed it whole and stood to leave.Tempest could feel she wanted to say something, and beat her to it. “Thank you, Pinkie, I had a wonderful night because of you.” Pinkie wrapped a foreleg over her in a hug.“Aw, you’re welcome, Tempest. I’m glad to help anypony, anytime!” She turned around in the doorway. “Why are you acting like your night’s already over, girl? There are parties all over Ponyville! I didn’t paint you for nothing.”
Tempest looked back at herself. “I suppose I could see what the other ponies are doing.”“There you go! Hey, if you get any candy you don’t want, you know where I live.” Pinkie started painting an outfit into her fur with more paint; Tempest could swear she were truly wearing cufflinks and a tie. “Have fun, I hope you get super duper scared!”Tempest smiled while she left, and stood in the doorway for many moments longer until she took a deep breath and exhaled. She walked outside, and kicked the door closed with her hindhoof. She looked up at Princess Luna’s moon brightly illuminating the night. Slowly, she left her property and walked in the direction whence she heard the most neighing and nickering.Ponies were playing games, laughing and having fun. She thought she saw Princess Luna in the throng far off, but couldn’t be certain, and she wouldn’t want to bother the princess regardless. She instead stood there watching them, and grimaced without otherwise moving—quickly plastering a grin on her face—when another pony, a mare dressed like a two-headed dog, slung a leg over her shoulder. “Hey Tempest, glad you decided to have some fun. Do you want to watch me bob for apples?” She grinned at Tempest, the fake head—some paper mache—looked lifelessly in some other direction.“Sure.” Tempest lied. “Where are ponies doing that?”Ponies were doing that very nearby, and Tempest followed the mare that way. Once nopony else was bobbing, she submerged her head—the paper mache got wet and started to look horrific in all the wrong ways—coming up with an apple. She took a bite and swallowed before shoving the rest into her mouth. “Tempest, this is fun, you should try it!”Tempest hesitated for several moments, but the chewing mare didn’t notice. “Okay.” She walked up to the basin and looked at the floating apples. It was hard to tell which would be best in the moonlight, so she instead bobbed for the closest one. She came up with the apple in her mouth, and the other mare cheered something, but she wasn’t really paying attention.The apple tasted nice.-Tempest was watching a costume contest when yet another pony snuck up on her. “Ah, hello, Tempest Shadow. It is nice to meet you in tonight’s festivities.” She looked up to see Princess Luna smiling down at her. “Thou looks’t to be larger than last time, much larger,” Tempest was getting good at keeping her smile going no matter what somepony said, she learned, “but the dream realm always hides what she wishes; we suppose it has been a while since we spoke therein. Nevertheless, it is nice to see thee and thy son healthy. We take it thou hast been fine since our previous conversation?”The princess also seemed much louder in the waking world. “Yes, princess, thank you.”
“How wonderful!” Princess Luna stomped a hoof. Her other reached forward and pressed into Tempest’s side. “We can tell thou art close to foaling, such an exciting time in a pony’s life—we know it well—and we hope thou hast been stretching thyself.”“It’ll be nice to hold him in my hooves, and maybe even let other ponies feel him without groping me, yeah.” Tempest smiled a bit more genuinely with how Princess Luna had pulled away her hoof. “As for stretching, I’ve been going to a Lamares class, and trying to clean around my home a bit more. It’s better than sitting around.”“Ah, we did not mean that kind of stretching, but we suppose it’s not easy without a husband around.” Before she could say more, she looked away to the stage. “Wish us luck in the contest!” Tempest watched without a flinch as Princess Luna’s shape became Nightmare Moon’s, while other ponies in the crowd around them yelped or flinched. “Verily, thou hast a warrior’s spirit, Tempest.”Tempest watched the princess win the contest after scaring several other ponies off stage, and thought about her words. She looked back at the fish stuck to her side. “I think my warrior’s spirit is enough between the two of us.”-Tempest pushed herself onto a bench and sighed while she stretched her legs. A pony passing by paid an awful lot of attention to her navel before snickering and walking on, giving Tempest the impression Pinkie had painted something there she hadn’t mentioned, but she was too tired to care. She couldn’t see whatever it was, and spoke softly to herself. “I wonder what I’ll dress you up as next year?”
>>43664603Sorry, but I don't do pony tits, hope you like it tho!While looking for references for this I realized that Fluttershy doesn't have a kitchen? lol
>>43672622Very rubbable flutterbutter.
>>43672622This is really nice thank you, I think it’s for the best you didn’t do the teats
>>43672576Great job on this one
>>43672622Oh there was another thing I wanted to ask, would you be okay with this one being used a a a cover art for a story?
8’s no place to be
Busy day at work
Remember to rub your bugs.
>>43675384Agreed
>>43672622Again, very nice work. I'm sorry I don't have more detailed praise for you.>While looking for references for this I realized that Fluttershy doesn't have a kitchen? lolReally? I could've sworn she had a kitchen with a refrigerator and everything.
>>43675808I think there’s actually been a story on fimfic about how she doesn’t have a kitchen because someone noticed before
>>43672622This made the work day worth it for sure
Congrats to Octavia for winning Miss /MLP/ 2026! Just like previous years, her reward is motherhood! Fluttershy is saddened that she doesn't get to experience it and Rarity seems to be gorging herself on ice cream. She may look pregnant by time she finishes that bucket but she definitely won't enjoy the tummy ache.
>>43679230Surely Fluttershy can clutch the win next year
>>43679230Sad, but that's a nice angle at Octavia there.
>>43679230Something tells me Discord is going to be very busy after this.
>>43679230For technical details on how I did this image. First I genned the characters individually using Stablemond on Comfyui. Then I switched to my Minimax H3 workflow and switched it to using 1 frame and referenced all the characters and had it create the scene with all of them on the podiums as well as the banner in 1 go. Then I switched to my Flux 3 Klein workflow and fixed a bunch of small issues. Then I switched back to my Stablemond workflow and did a final small denoise pass on Rarity and Fluttershy to fix the CM's and to add a spoon in Rarity's mouth. Interestingly, it added a bit of the vanilla ice cream on the side of her mouth without me prompting it which works perfectly in this sense.
>>43680954Forgot to add the references to the last post. Also to add to it, the Flux 3 Klein steps is when I removed the fetlocks and hooves from them. The Minimax H3 step was when the flowers got added in.
>>43681037Cute Rara, and that’s a much sadder looking Fluttershy
I really need to write about Ms. Harshwhinny again. She's so sexy.
>>43682629Yeah she’s pretty great
>>43680410Discord existing is probably the only reason she hasn’t won by now
>>43683494I like how she modified her dress
>>43684341What a nice Dash
