Doesn't he have that propeller? Also, I call it Derpsgiving.

Cuz of Derpy.

Well, but Tank ai'nt going to wear that thing 24/7 at RD's house, ain't he?

And Happy Derpsgiving for you then!

Well he probably should or Twilight could use that spell on him. Also, I was wondering if my OC should have a friend besides the Mane Six. Here is said friend:

I have MSN!!!! It's same as my steam, "Ice_of_Fire99".
YOU BETTER BUCKING ADD ME.

Now back to doing random what ever.

The same color and jaw format of my OC. Nice!
What's he called? Octavius?

My OC? I was thinking Cantus. For the moment, the friend needs a name. Ideas?

@Ric: I see you responded to my tumblr post about punkin chunkin.

Thanksgiving? I'm mourning the 20 year anniversary of Freddie Mercuries death.

I'm gonna celebrate in my own special British way. I'm gonna do absolutely nothing out of the ordinary all day. It's gonna be so awesome! /)^3^(\

Anyways, happy Thanksgiving to all those who actually celebrate it.

I'm sure this has been done before, but it was so long ago that I guess most of you weren't around to see it:

You wake up to find you're lying in a field just outside Ponyville. Oh, and you're also a pony (earth, unicorn or pegasus, your choice). After you get over the initial shock, what's the first thing you do?

inb4 someone says 'Rarity'

Go to mayor's office, and get my bearings or something.

Try to find a job to make money to buy a home. Then use my knowledge to my advantage and try to avoid the mane as possible because any contact might be dangerous that means you got to be careful around Pinkie Pie and you all know how she feels about not knowing a new pony in Ponyville. I will start trying to go to college school afterwards to get a better job so I can get enough funds to make my underground base. Who knows I might go and settle down with a random unknown, unnamed, background pony. Also try to figure out if there is any trace of humans have ever existed.

To the Mane Six!

Wiccans are the same way about Xmas. They/we don't celebrate it. We/they celebrate Yule though but it's not as extravagant or festive as Xmas.

In regard to my previous post, by "he" I meant my dad. I was writing something before he walked in and I kept saying "he" as if I already said "dad".
Also, I think I'll try to search for that one picture I based mine off of. Either that or I'll upload my picture directly to imgur from my phone then link that.
Also, tomorrow "May the Best Pet Win" and "Fall Friends" are both playing when I'm going to turn it on. I haven't seen "May the Best Pet Win" but I'm wondering if it's funny at all. It is key that my dad watches it and laughs. I mean like very blatant humor like Tom and Jerry or Spongebob. Fall Friends is good enough, so I don't need the new episode to be funny to prove my point.

You called?

RandomMan.

@Steve
Sorry, but there is no slapstick or random humor at all in May The Best Pet Win. I don't wanna spoil it, but you may get a manly tear instead of a smile from your father (at least it's what happened to me)

@Ideo
NOPE!
Flutterhigh

Random!! hugs It's my favorite ticked off bunny!!

@Dr: Stoner Fluttershy?

Also it just occurred to me. Timmy's Dad hates his neighbor. Homer Simpson hates his neighbor. Both characters are somewhat stupid. Mind=blown

Start asking myself questions. Do I have a cutie mark? If so, what is it? Is it to do with one of my interests? How did I get here? Will i ever eat meat again? Will I ever play guitar again?

Then I suppose I would try to find my way to Ponyville, as it is a familiar place, but try to avoid the mane six in case they hate my guts.

First off, I'd be a pegasus because I love flying in lucid dreams and I actually had a lucid dream where I was a pegasus anyways.
Second, I'd probably go find RD or AJ because they seem to be the most understanding/knowledgable. Rainbow Dash is a little rude but I don't mind, it makes for good intellectual jokes being hurled around. After I find them and get to know a bit, I would probably get a job involving weather, also because of some lucid dreams I've had. I would make my house out of a regular old cloud, or I might get one on the ground. I'm somewhere between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, I love animals and nature but I am in no way a wimp, I love flying dreams and speed. So I would get a house on a cliff near a forest or something similar. Who knows if i'd marry, probably not.

Also, regarding initial shock, I get a LOT of lucid dreams that involve the most shocking circumstances (the oddest was where I was almost fully awake in the dream, I was a girl, and I thought it was the real world. You have no clue how odd it feels), so I'm kind of trained to deal with weird situations xD I would probably go with the flow and just accept it. I'm weird like that.

"ticked off"

Whiny like a school filly.

I'd be an Earth pony. I don't like to think of myself as being anything special.

But I'd ask Twilight to help me get back home. I'd miss my family and friends too much. Until then, I'd probably go find Granny Smith (as the eldest of the Apple family) and ask her if she'd let me help on the farm for room/board/wages.

I've always wanted to separate myself from the world. Have a small plot of land, work my crops, go to a small market for meat and stuff, and just chill. A trip to Ponyville would allow for that without having to worry about school loans, a lot of the ills of this world, and stuff like that.
 
 

But at the end of the day, I'd still want so very much to get back home. My family and friends are too dear for me to leave them.

Oh, and I'd be a unicorn like my OC plus I love magic.

Aha, this is an interesting thing to think about.

There are two scenarios I can envision. If other ponies tell me that I was born a pony and had grown up around there, I might start to question my humanity and to wonder if it had been a dream. But of course if it were some Prisoner-esque mind game where somebody's given me hallucinogenic drugs and immersed me in some type of VR in an attempt to extract information, that's what the perpetrators would want to happen. If this were the case, I don't know if I could stay around where people recognized me; I would assumedly have a completely different personality, so I would probably move away and try to start a life somewhere else.

However, if I were suddenly thrust into the pony world as-is, without a backstory, in some ways that would also make me question my humanity: I think if that were the case, I would just have to see what happens, and to try to integrate into pony society. I'd probably hang around Ponyville while I sort things out, and then figure out what I want to do with my new pony life, and see where it takes me.

As for contact with the Mane 6 (I know this seems to be a main topic with others), I wouldn't actively seek them out, but I also wouldn't actively avoid them. In the first scenario above, if I left Ponyville, I probably wouldn't see much of them. In the second scenario, they would be just some ponies to me; maybe we'd be friends, maybe not.

And of course, I would continue looking for ways to remind myself that I was human. I might even investigate the possibility of return to the human world – such a thing would require magicks.

lol that reminds me of another pony i made the same day as i made Riyku do not know what to name her

I think I'd be a unicorn too. Not beacuse of OC or magic, but just cause I'd be able to do multiple things at the same time without even needing to stand up.
Yes, I'm a lazy ass

@Steve
Just found this and think it suits you damn right

I think you mean:

inb4 somepony says 'Berry Punch'

@opspe
I would wonder if there is actual solid evidence that humans used to exist in Equestria, and I was possible went through some sort of time machine or worm hole. I also will not ever speak of anything that is dangerous that humans know. But yes recently we have discovered MLP does have some "execution weapons" and others. But I do not want them to figure out how to make nerve gas, chemical weapons. Also them figuring out how to split the atom or fusion as a weapon. Yes there was a sonic rainuke but it was only done once and RD is the only pony that figured out how to do such a thing, and only for demolition reasons.

It's not even safe lurking on this thread!

Damnit guys, FAIL synopsis is FAIL

I thought kids were confused about RD's gender enough already…

WTF who in the world typed that?

Yeah, we know too much. I'd have to make a careful appraisal of what they know, and then maybe help them out if they needed it. But seeing as how they have magic, I don't know how much use all my knowledge would be.

If not, I would probably start out as a loner. Like a boss.

A guy who probably doesn't even watch the show uses he instead of she. Meh.

I'll just respond with what I posted in Ponibooru:

I can just hear the bored interns that type up these synopses now…

"Hey. Hey, man. Hey. Watch. This."
"Dude, what're you doing?"
"I'm gonna mess with the Bronies by changing this she to he."
"That doesn't seem like a big deal, bro."
"I know, right? And yet…"

38 emails and a bout of uncontrollable laughter later…

And given all of the comments from Ponibooru and the fact we brought it up here, I'd say that people are being sufficiently trolled.

Mass Media, I am disappoint.

Also I might go insane myself. I would want to go back to my human world/time. Because we have technology and look how far we got without magic or wings. We gotten to the moon, and we can change the weather with weather devices (It's true the U.S. government has been doing so for a while now you should look it up, America is not the only country too). I would be depressed with out my computer, my family I would miss the most of course, and I do not like change, especially entering another universe…. Like…what would you do if you just wake up but with out your phone or any technology what so ever? Also look how technological advance humans are compared to the ponies. We excel much, much more in a lot of ways. I cannot or can any one on the thread I bet can survive with out technology, or human style of technology for that matter.

Please excuse me, I need to go clop now.

Yo dawg, I herd you liek Algernon, so I quoted me in my post so you can read my post while you read my post!

Personally, I don't think I'd ever get past the 'initial shock' part, but assuming I did, my response would probably be the same as a lot of you: find someone in authority or someone intelligent and try to figure out what the hell's going on. Chances are I'd seek out Twilight, and if she couldn't explain the situation, take it to Celestia. If she didn't know what was happening I'd ask Luna. If she had no idea, I'd get desperate and ask Zecora. All the while I'd be questioning my sanity, but I guess that's what I'd be doing back on Earth anyway, so that's not exactly unusual for me.

If I could get home, I'd do it, but not until I'd spent a while exploring the world and learning as much as possible about it. I wouldn't be too worried about polluting Equestria with my evil human-ness. I mean, it's not exactly difficult to avoid conversations about atom bombs and nerve gas. If I couldn't get home, I guess I'd have to try and integrate into pony society, which probably wouldn't work and I'd have to live the rest of my days as a lonely hermit.

Seriously? I'd say things are pretty tame right now.

I could. I don't want to sound full of myself, but it's true. I've gone without phone, computer, etc for weeks and sometime months at a time before. At first it's not easy, but you get used to it, and in some ways it's better. So if I were transplanted into Equestria, I don't think it would matter all that much to me. I mean, people got on for thousands of years without computers, and look at what they accomplished.

As for comparing the state of development of ponies and humans, you have to remember that we have opposable digits, and only some of them have magic. We also have access to lots and lots of resources which they don't, such as petrochemicals and rare metals, upon which most modern technology is based. There are actually some interesting (if fringe) theories out there, correlating the recent rise of technology with the increasing exploitation of first coal, then petroleum, and these people think that once peak oil is reached (let's face it people, it'll happen in our lifetimes), our technological developments will stagnate. I'm not sure I agree with this completely, but it is something to think about.

Now, when you mentioned weather control, that reminded me of this time I had to listen to this woman lecture me about it while I was getting a tire changed in Redding, California a few years ago. While could-seeding using aluminum hydroxide particles has been going on for decades with mixed success, I don't buy in to the whole chemtrails/HAARP stuff.

I wouldn't seek Twilight, at least not for that; I would go to someone more experienced. Honestly, she's just a student, there's got to be more experienced ponies out there.

@Berry: who would you rather? (inb4 all three)

I was thinking she'd be useful as she has links to Celestia. You couldn't just march up to the palace shouting, 'Hey, Princess! I'm from a parallel universe and could really do with some help right now!'. I imagine that'd just get you roughed up by the royal guard. If you could convince Twilight that you're legit you'd have a much better chance of getting your questions heard.

Hm, I never thought of that…you have a point. I actually wasn't thinking of seeking Celestia though, I don't know how much help she would be anyways.

True Story:

On this very weird topic, I would like to be a pegasus. I've always wanted to fly, and there's not really a huge perk to the other two races. Sure, unicorns have magic, but for 99% of them it seems to simply be a small convenience more than anything else.

Well I guess it would be just me because I am a person of progress. I love technology, in fact I want to be infected by it and become part machine. (I like to see it as the next stage of human evolution). I mean in my eyes all that progress is lost in Equestria. They seem like they are in mid-evil times in some areas or in the wild west like time.

I'm sorry but I naturally just don't like drastic changes. (Thanks to my freaking aspergers). I just don't like things to digress. How much I like destruction is the only reason why I just do it in games I prefer progress and creation in reality. That is why I do not like war all that much even though how much advances we gotten from war (Like the internet used by the military). But we most likely would have invented that anyways.

I'd like to be a Fell Beast.

But a pegasus will do.

Well, you're just opening a whole other philosophical debate there. I personally don't think that human-machine hybrids are the next step in evolution, since evolution isn't anthrogenic. But we're getting way off-topic here.

Back to Equestria, I'm interested by your opinion that the lack of technology equates to lack of progress. The way I see it, a lot of those technologies haven't needed to be developed because of the existence of magic. I would argue that the majority of fundamental advancements in the past few centuries were need-based, and with magic, those wouldn't be needed.

You also have to remember that Ponyville is kind of bogan. Maybe in the cities there's more evidence of "progress" as you put it.

As for what sub-species I think I would be, I'm going to have to say unicorn. Who needs wings when you can create them?

Possible because some areas tend to have a higher population of earth ponies (which do not have wings OR magic to help them). Then again they do lack in a good way of communication. Also their system of how to obtain information is primitive compared to human's ways.
(I always have a unholy passion to be part machine no matter what I do not know why but I just want to know what it is like to be… different).

It has bugged me about how they have hair-dressing thingies and Sewing machines, but still have their males as work-

Oh God that explains everything.

Haha.

I do not get what are you referring too.
(I'm dearly sorry but I just…don't….)
