Also, people might have already seen it on EqD provided they go there, but this.

Fluttersniper is best pony, BAR NONE. Except maybe Rainbow Pointmare.

I've seen at least three, and that was just while going through a backlog. There's probably a couple more.
Er, three fics. Not pictures of Dash hanging herself.

I don't get it, why are fanfiction writers so enthralled by the idea of taking characters from a cartoon and putting them in melodramatic, over-the-top depressing stories? I appreciate irony as much as the next guy, but these are all taken 100% seriously, what kind of sadist enjoys that?

Well you know the old saying I guess, drama is easy, comedy is hard.

Link the pic and the comic. As much as it may pain me, I'm afraid I have to look at it. Otherwise I'll just find it myself.

My body is ready.

Here's the original

Here's the edited one

All I can ask is why someone would take that and do such a thing, but then I remember it's the internet and that stuff unfortunately happens.

I love that comic, nuked me to death with nostalgia.
I was pissed when I saw the one of her hanging herself. ಠnಠ
My old avatar was the very last panel, some of you may remember.

The "fuck" one?
That's what happened. Probably multiple times. No eye contact.
 
 
As for the memes, I should probably take back to that list of ponified memes again. Right after, I get to a stopping point in College Football.

God damn please do not remind me of that face.

PLEEEEEEZ.

Also, rule of thumb around me: no matter what you do, no matter who you are, don't hurt ponies or Celestia herself won't stop me.

I know a lot of you are REALLY into the show but this is a site that (for good, bad or ugly) reports and catalogs memes. Not every pic is going to be a pro pony one. Why be pissed over it?

The rage is fake.

My actual reaction to sad version was more along the lines of "tsk tsk tsk, the Internet these days".

@Karnage: Gah… not sure if should cry, or heart explodinate…

I don't really care. It's the internet, you find everything. If you want it or not.

The second comic actually made me lol.

le reading PTOM

Huh? What's this…

stares at Letter of the Month, or more specifically, the part that says "but we uncomfortably approve of Friendship is Magic".

Well… all I can say, PTOM, is get ready.

Yea but I see some stupid comments on pics that are either anti pony or cupcake related. Fake or not a stupid comment is a stupid comment.

Yeah. You have to watch what you post on the Internet, because it is more or less written in stone afterwards.

@Bronydude: …what?

I think your last sentence is part of the reason. Most people can agree upon what is sad: someone dies or gets sick, dreams are unfulfilled, loss…stuff like that. It's harder to get people to laugh or smile, because I think humor is a little more cultural and based upon experience and values. The values that sad literature gets at are universally understood.

I also think that it's easier to make a lasting impression on a reader by defaulting to sad. The fanfiction I normally read and like most are sad, because I've already made a connection to the characters, and I'm more likely to be engaged in the story that way. I don't really expect people to make fanfics that are cute or really funny (because of the reason given in your last sentence,) but I know people can make things sad.

I'll use myself as an example. I don't favorite or save many macros or images that are sad, but the fics and some of the comics are usually sad. Not that I want bad things to happen to the mane 6, but I want to read something that makes me feel for the characters.

Then again, it may just be a need to balance out what the show is. They could be latent expectations of life fulfilled through fanfiction.

As for why so many Bronies want to put the FiM characters specifically in dire situations…outside of anything Freudian, I've got no clue.

Man, I type a lot.

In any show you have the climactic ending and when you have something tragic happen to a main character you as the viewer are inthralled as to what's going to happen next. You want the character to pull through so when they don't you are in disbelief. It's classic. Hitchcock used the same techniques by killing off a main character in the fist 10 min. of a film. You couldn't believe he did that but you wanted to see what was going to happen next.

EDIT: yes you do but it's O.K. I won't hold it against you. = )

Hi Raptor!
How are you doing this fine evening? Good? Good. I'm well, just posting ponies and not interfering with any non-pony related parts of the site.

Anyway, see you around the internet!

P.S. Would you like some cupcakes?

P.S. To all bronies Don't down vote his comment, he deserves his opinion too. Just ignore it or be indifferent toward it if you disagree with it.

Your opinion is your opinion. It's a free Web.

I just really want you to put an "e" between "raptur" and "jesus."

Frankly, I think he tries too hard.

There's a difference between being a good troll and an obvious troll, and raptur is clearly far in the latter camp.

But the less said about that the better.
