From Tabatha's Blog:

"No. I haven't moved to Zanzibar. There has been no plastic surgery to make me look like Donald Trump(although thank-you Graveyard Bean, for that suggestion) I do continue to work lots at my profession, and it isn't, as one might easily surmise, being a Sooper-spy. What I do rather,(nutshell) is make silly noises. Still, sorry, but recently, yes, I'm prone to go shifty-eyed when asked direct questions. Innocent things like: "Hey Tabs, What are you up to?" I can't help it. Instant rat face. Or, I turn into a wee grey cloud and try to slip down a ventilator shaft.

I might first point left and yell: "YETI!"

Does the fate of the western world hang on my silly noises? Are they somehow encoded? Will they do anything to your DNA? Hm. One wonders. I've signed(or have I???) piles of papers saying basically SHHHHH!-- in some sort of proto Robo/Grey/Pleiaedian hybrid pre-invasionese. So if I don't answer questions about these admittedly portentous funny noises I make, and I say things like mmm…mmm….mmmn-- or other combinations of letters with no vowels, it's NOT because of The Great Vowel Famine."

….

Well, TabbyKatz really is a SupaSPY! then if she goes shifty eyes from direct confrontation of any kind. I mean, shifty eyes is the easiest way to throw anyone off.

Actually, im just gonna laugh my plot off, you know why?
Because I like to see this as some sort of massive trolling attempt on tumblr.

So screw all that "oh why" stuff im just gonna be like "lol, im just gonna look at these to see other's reactions"

>Mfw I see the OC dump everyone is talking about in the gallery.

I'm joking. Regarding the topic of OC's from the previous page. I don't really have an OC for myself. I have some good ideas for one, but whenever I think about them they seem stupid and I scrap them. I'm also no good at drawing whatsoever, but I don't really like the pony creator on deviantart. In conclusion, I'm gonna stay without an OC.

>Checks FiM image gallery
>See few images of OC
>Loling at how bad OC is
>Realized is a Photo Dump
>Dump is 2 Pages of OC's Crapy Tumblr
Mfw:

But I'm pretty sure in a week the photo dump will be pages away from the top, Just hope Bruning ice won't repost it.

Guys, speaking of… odd OCs…

The image gallery.

Alright, what the fuck?

He can keep the drawings, but I'm removing all those Tumblr images. This is probably the artist just advertising his own blog.

Kinda funny how this "OC" fits in my average OC list so perfectly. Black and Red colors, giant ego, pegasus, demonic powers. Yup, super original. /sarcasm

Makes perfect sense to me. When it comes to acting, it helps if you're kind of a character yourself.

Well it happens sometimes when you do loads of drugs…
Also, anyone have any good way to help me out with that poem thing I typed about a while back? School's out in a week and I wanna get right on it. I now have a good grasp on the basic idea and the way it's gonna work out, I just need character names and such. Also, I wanted to open up with a wandering bardpony going to Ponyville to recite this "long handed down poem". That a good idea?
Also, also.

(Oh the irony that both are Twilight gifs).

ORIGINAL CHARACTER! DO NOT STEAL!

This is my OC. His name is Shadow Embrace.

His backstory is that he is the cousin of Luna, but he wasn't able to visit her often because he's constantly exploring dungeons and fighting big monsters. Yes, he's an alicorn. Because he's family of Luna his power is that of controlling darkness. You currently can't see his right eye, but that is one of a robot and can shoot lasers. The armor plate on his chest wouldn't be necessary with his strength, but it covers up a nasty scar he got during one of his many battles. The rings on his legs serve as weapons which he controls during battle with his magic, the sides can open up and reveal hidden blades.

After a while Luna asked him to go to Ponyville where he stayed for a time. He became best friends with the mane six and often helps them out, because he's just that cool. He's also the current boyfriend of Twilight Sparkle. Besides his old habit of exploring dungeons and fighting big monsters he also helped Rainbow Dash get into the Wonderbolts and he often joins them in their performances after they were amazed by his skill.

I have the bloodiest feeling about that armor part…I am not sure what…

@Random

Let's not forget to mention all those times Shambrace there saved Equestria (and probably the entire universe). I hear he somehow single-hoofedly mastered the elements of harmony, fought off an army of griffons, punched out an Ursa Major, and got married to both his girlfriend Twilight AND Fluttershy. All in one day. Oh, and he was originally human. Luna too.

i have about 7 pages of that in my inbox XD

Beautiful. There are no words to describe the raw emotion and power that contained. You are truly a creative man.

His cutie mark is the awesomest, sauce-emest, opossumest thing ever.

We can't go brag about his perfection too much or he'll make other artists jealous.

i'll catch up on what i missed this weekend, since i don't have time right now XD
sounds like you're all discussing OCs at the moment.
i don't have one (though i tried to make one once). my first and only attempt ended in such a heinous abomination of all things good holy in this world that i immediately abandoned my twisted creation in disgust. not even the most vile Eldritch creatures can compare to the sheer horror of my own construct. may the poor, poor pixels whose lives were forever tainted by my corruption rest in piece.

oh hey, a while back i had an idea for a research paper (not for school) about Memes, with particular focus on the people and Netizens behind them, and how they spread.
i wanted to do it themed towards connecting Memes to similar and analogous biological systems, such as Negative and Positive Feedback, evolution, trophic levels, life cycles, stuff like that. in order to get comments and feedback on the stuff i'll be writing, i wanted to put it on the forums here (presumably in the Meme Research section). i was wondering how i should do this.
since i'll be actively working on it while i'm posting, i figured i should make each section of the paper as a separate thread topic, with links to each part, in a once-a-week series style.
is this a good idea, or should i put it all in one thread?

I'd go with slamming it all together in one thread. People might lose interest after the second thread.

Also in General, gets you more viewers and thereby participants.

God, I hope he's a troll.

He tagged the entry "NSFW" obviously because his OC is too badass to be handled without gloves.

But the tags should make it obvious he's probably trolling.

Oh God no… not my little flutters.

My poor heart can't take it.

That kind of stuff kind of creeps me out for some reason. I also refuse to read my little dashie because Algeron confirmed what I already suspected about it, the guy is kinda creepy.

Can we move on from the topic of OC ponies? Sure it cool to have one but it would be nice to talk about something else. Mostly for the fact that I have no artistic ability, I can draw backgrounds but I cannot draw people/animals so I cannot create an OC pony unless I commission someone to create one for me after I submit to them a ruff design. Has anything else interesting happened?

sounds good, thanks!

i'll enjoy doing this. i should probably still update the thread in parts though, since it'll probably be pretty big by the time i'm done, and i'm far too impatient to post it in one giant chunk.

Confound this Madmax, she drives me to read Agatha Christie.

Monsieur Hercule Poirot:

This is seriously the best. We should have all our fictional characters ponified.

Here's your solution.

This is a rough guide to learn how to draw ponies. Helped me get the basics down, and I branched off from there.

As for interesting stuff happening…

In a shocking turn of events, Princess Celestia remains best pony with no actual contest standing up to oppose her.

News at 11.

@Dac:

I didn't really see the creepiness of it. Maybe I wasn't looking, but whatever.

Still, it's a short story, and it isn't that long of a short story. I read it in about an hour, maybe less. It'd be worth at least trying.

Oh silly newfoal…you haven't removed Pony General from your list of subscribed threads?

You weren't here back in the days of Pony General 2: Image Harder.

Many an inbox was ripped open like an Alien being birthed from a man's innard at that time.

EARLIER
Alright! Back from another performance…
Now, to check le image gallery…
(sees two semi-sorta-nsfw Chrysallis pics. Though not exactly BAD, they seem…sensual)
…whoah.
now
I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY FEELINGS ARE DOING!
On one hand, I wanna do this:

On the other, I'm like…

It's not terrible, but it's certainly not too, how do I say, desirable either. Especially from the point of view I've tried to establish within myself.
I ain't even mad.
So in short, this Mandalorian is confused

Thoughts on the moral dilemna?

@Explosive Lasers

First off its spelled M-A-N-D-A-L-O-R-I-A-N (though you may have had a pun with the word "mad")
Now, how on earth is that supposed to make me mad? We all have varying opinions. I just have the one. You like Celestia, I like (no wait, love) Chrysallis. I am not mad at you.
And I was actually not rustled, so much as confused as to want or not to want.
