@That fucking Plush

Hopefully that's a plush that WON'T join DeadParrot's Mt. Everest Sized Plush mountain.

I'm usually pretty ok with the clopper side of the brony community and I found things like the Lyra Plushie hilarious, but holy shit that's messed up. Everything just went off the deep end into uncanny valley with this one, that crotch is way to human-like/realistic. The weird flat tits don't help.

HYE EEH HYE EEH HYE EEH HYE EEH

Completely unrelated but found these and they amused me.

>mfw Flutterplush

It looks like it has one of those Bad Dragon horse pussy fleshlights in it.
all my kek

You know… I could probably look past the fleshlight, but the crotch boobs really make it a turn off to me.

So hold on… we're just gonna let Cute Master post a picture of a plush with a frakking vagina and not say anything about it? Really?

…

…God bless /kym/.

Did you not read anything on this page?

obligatory hoers:

(oh boy, a karma troll, it's been awhile. fix'd)

By mentioning his/her existence and pointing out what he did you just added fuel to his/her fire. We tend to ignore them and pretend nothing is going on and they leave. Hence the term "Ignore the Troll."

Meh, what else is new?

Would you punish this face???

Yeah… not going near that one…

Although, to make it more disturbing from my standpoint, I'm 95% sure I actually know the plush artist who made that Fluttershy (Her style is very distinctive) and I do own one of her ponies (no holes, obviously).
What I both do and don't want to know is if she made this one like this or if someone else took her work and 'modified' it.
Both options are somewhat unsettling, though in different ways.
And the idea that she did make it isn't entirely out of the question because she did make this ol' thing:

I do love her body pattern, but sexy plushies are pretty off-putting for me.
No harm, no foul and all that, but still… eww.

Bronies win another (insanely minor) battle in the fight for gender neutrality!
Apparently this was posted for the employees at McDonald's:

Ponies are no longer 'the girl toy!'
… Yay!
(I don't really consider it a 'victory,' I just thought it was funny!)

@Cute Master

He's right, that face is unassailable!
You've gotten away with it… this time!

@The Lyra plush 2.0 Fluttershy plush

For some reason the whole thing doesn't phase me at all. Maybe I'm just desensitizes to this sort of stuff at this point. Maybe it's because I know that pony sex toys are nothing new and integrating fleshlights into plushies is just a natural step in the evolution of R34 (gotta admit, that is pretty creative). Maybe I've just become part of the problem

I'd never buy a plush like that. I don't want shamefully embarrassing fapping aids lying around my house, especially ones that are controversially disguised as a kids cartoon character. But am I a bad person for knowing that if I did have one, I'd totally use it? Looks a lot more comfortable than the Lyra plush, that's for sure. Don't like the crotchboobs though. Those look awkward

I guess the concern is that if news of this stuff get out, we don't want another "Lyra Plush meme". That, or we know the next obvious step after this is Spike plushies with anatomically correct dragon dildo's sown into the appropriate area. The plush itself isn't that big of a deal. How uncanny and cringeworthy it looks is a matter of perspective and what is it is used for is entirely the owners business

Look on the bright side. The plush artist would have been paid a truckload to make this, I'm sure. More support to create more brilliant well done plushies in the future (hopefully tasteful ones that you wont need to hide from house guests…or Hasbro)

I can see it now.

Cashier: Would that be a girl or boy meal?

Brony: ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY I'M GAY FOR WANTING A GIRL'S TOY?! I'll have you know Lauren Faust made a completely Gender Neutral cartoon and there is no way in hell why I should be discriminated for wanting one of those Gender Neutral Pony dolls! Where is your manager I am going to spread Euphoria all over your Burger Shack!

An hour later after all the ranting The Manager calmed the brony down and settled an agreement with him. The Brony tipped his Fedora and walked out. Then walked back inside going "This is a Twilight Sparkle toy, I don't support Alicashin Twilight!" Then another incident happened that couldn't be solved with McDonald's.

Also, quick update on Scratchcameo:

Previously talking about the cameo for the next episode does not stop it from being a spoiler -BSOD

@Jimmy:
Those images should probably be spoiler tagged. The episode didn't air yet, after all.

@Fluttershy plushie
Reminds me of the first image I ever uploaded to the gallery. I, too, am completely unfazed by it.

>inb4 the other mods chew Blue Screen out for letting NSFW violating material in the thread

Speaking of r34, I can now confirm that my formerly innocuous, g-rated fetish does indeed have a porn element to it thanks to some Vinyl/Octavia interactions.

@Jimmy
Jimmy Mods, spoiler that. I was able to avoid the previews until now.

Have a gif that has absolutely refused to upload to the Image Gallery even after reducing it to below 2MB in size.

I feel bad for those who wanted to be surprised tomorrow….

ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?!

(Not as good as the first, in my opinion, but still fun!)

@New Episode
Okay, I haven't watched any clips yet, but I have just stumbled upon a bunch of gifs.
…
<div class=spoiler title="Good god, this looks amazing…">

Note: I've said it before, but I'm a huge dork for corny 70s, 80s, and 90s era music videos and bands.
I tend to swing more toward rock (with it hair metal, glam, etc.) but those early rap videos have a sweet spot for me, too.




Those random neon graffiti backgrounds, the ridiculous video transitions, the unnecessary skateboarding mid-song, those outfits…
I have absolutely no idea what they are saying, but this is already gold.

And since we're on a musical kick, have a bit o' trivia:

Awww. Ninja'd me by 33 minutes Parrot! I will have my revenge! xD

That new short. I can't remember how to breath. Can somepony give me CPR?
*Continues hyperventilating*

Edit: Here is my revenge 4 DP.

Also, technically the image would have been legal by the rules if I had bothered to accompany it by a clear [NSFW] tag. Guess I forget these things sometimes.

@TSG

>inb4 the other mods chew Blue Screen out for letting NSFW violating material in the thread

I removed it, you happy?

Speaking of r34, I can now confirm that my formerly innocuous, g-rated fetish does indeed have a porn element to it thanks to some Vinyl/Octavia interactions.

Wait, you didn't know the flattening fetish was used for porn from the very beginning?

@Short: Holy crap, man! First off, I want to find whoever played those guitar licks (especially RD's solo) and hug them so tight that their grandkids will have trouble breathing. Also, I like how they're making Vinyl sort of a mute character, and I think that'd be interesting to see in the movie proper. And finally, Pinkie you magnificent bitch, I love ya. So here, have a Calvin and Hobbes face for your troubles.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Pinkie derail to bring you this Derpy derail:

Oh, and Dark Skyes just has a few more hours left until it's over. lol. It isn't going to make it unless people randomly decide to donate more than $3000.

Pretty sure we debunked that as bullshit, son.

Wow, people were still pledging for it?

Here you go, get some help from the best resuscitator in Equestria!

@Dark Skyes
What a ridiculous, sad, and pathetic saga it has been…
Glad to know it is nearly over.
I think the real danger is that the creator(s) self-donate(s) to bring the thing over the limit, thus funding the project and getting the money from all the real people who donated.
No idea if that will actually happen, but I sure wouldn't wan to have any money applied to it.
Here's hoping no one gets screwed, other than the guys orchestrating this 'epic prank,' of course.

I may have found my favorite Rainbow Dash/Scootaloo comic:

I think I need something like this to happen in the show!

I think I need something like this to happen in the show!

Sadly I'll be in California doing my defense when the finale airs. Color me super disappointed. Please don't burn everything down while I'm gone guys.

Relevant:

This was literally the best thing ever:

This, and the music video part actually being in VHS quality, makes this without a doubt the best S4 episode so far.

ADD Pony is best pony.

Also, Dat Finale Synopsis. Time to go share that on the Image Gallery and watch them rage from the rustling.

>mfw

Do you Mean NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO about the $4,000 it made or NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO about it being canceled? Because if you're sad that it was canceled just look on the brightside, it never would've been made because it was literally all a big scam to get "Retards" (Their own words) to waste $7,000.

Also hey look! Accidental Character Development.

Looks like Spike just wants to be a Director, New Headcanon accepted for me. I feel your feel bro.

Also, best Princess.

Looks like we can see where those Alicorn Fluttershy toys were coming from.

Well… Since I've nothing specific other than spoilers to say right now… I may as well say this…

…It's been a long time since I saw a blue screen of death…

…And then it started happening fairly often just recently… Something about display driver crash or something.

…And every single time… I loose all my tabs…

…And I have to try as hard as I can to remember which ones I normally have on my computer…

…And that is why… after much time of having the convenience of not having to bookmark anything… I now bookmark everything…

…Otherwise I loose all my pone activities.

---

Also, I appear to have remembered there are things I should be doing for a comic… And for the first time in almost a month… I'm back to planning out the next panels for what is essentially a "chapter".

…As opposed to my usual "Slice of Life in Space" approach that came from just doing an update that was basically whatever came to mind for what should happen next.

…Though that reminds me, once I'm don't with the planning through those erm… Storyboards I guess… I should start showing the sketches here again… I kinda don't know whether I've improved or fallen behind.

…Also… Since I'm not used to advanced rendering… I suppose I should start showing those as well.

…But not now. Turns out, even if I don't fully plan out what's going into the story board, just trying to storyboard the whole thing before going full sketch seems to have helped me note and then smooth out a few moments where the progression is a bit choppy… As well as lowering the number of awkward transitions…

…And by awkward transitions, I mean "and now for something completely different" style stuff. Right now the storyboards seem to be showing off only one kinda awkward transition, one okay one, and one where an "escaped in the confusion" trope comes into play.

Oh god… Wow… I am saying way too much and rambling a bit. Sorry.

---

Edit: Completely forgot a new episode is supposed to air… Erm… Now? I suppose it just finished.

Excuse me while I find a vid.

P.S. I appear to have discovered that I consistently make a typo of the word "Episode", but only while typing it into google search… And it comes out spelled as "EpisDOE" for some reason.

According to your profile gallery, this is the first image you ever uploaded:

So yeah . . . I can see how you made that connection.

Heh, this episode was quite interesting to me. So apparently the Wonderbolts are actually a military entity of the Equestrian Armed Forces. My head cannon is complete!

Also, did you guys catch the reference this episode?

So, it looks like I missed April Fools, dammit! Back to lurking the interwebs.

Not really, I was just making a joke…

Wait, you didn’t know the flattening fetish was used for porn from the very beginning?

Actual porn (characters masturbating/having sex) is extremely rare in the flattening fetish genre. I can think of maybe two dozen examples (out of several hundred)--half of which drawn by the same person--that could qualify. All of which where about human characters.

It wasn't until the other day (on Furaffinity, where else?) that I came across actual flattening fetish porn involving ponies.

If by "people," you mean the "Sam Internet Defense Force," then yes, they were. It's the first time I can ever actually say I witnessed shills on the internet. /pol/ was right again (as they always are).

The shiggy is strong today.

And for the first time in almost a month…

I haven't worked on Regent in four months, so at least you're not as lazy as me.

Platus said:

That is incorrect. This [NSFW!] was the actual first picture I ever uploaded. It was promptly deleted by a mod. It's also the reason for Mr Sparkle's comment on my profile.

@Episode
Definitely one of the better episodes of S4. The Twilight/Dash dynamic is always good and the studying plot was pretty well done. The best part, though, had to be the fleshing out fo Wonderbolt history. Many a fanfic and headcanon were crushed by it. At least we now know for sure they're a branch of the military.

The only confusing part was the fact that they've apparently had a Colonel, Commander, Admiral (wut), General, and now Captain in charge. Equestria's military must have had one hell of a ranking system back in the day.

There's also the apparent fact that Equestria had no military whatsoever prior to Luna launching the space program. That only reinforces my headcanon that Celestia's used her control of the sun as a bargaining chip with the griffons/dragons/whatever to ensure perpetual peace for Equestria (you invade, and I won't raise the sun/I'll leave the sun parked over your capital until you sue for peace). Luna's banishment made her realize that some threats don't give a shit about your control of the sun.

The "Firefly can't be Dash's mom" thing's just silly. You're telling me two ponies living a thousand years apart can't have the same name? The counter that Dash would remember the name since it's her mom's can be easily debunked because A) not everyone knows their mom's first name (when have you ever called your mom by her name? I've never.) B) It's Dash. The character who spent half the episode pulling a Twilight over the test and who utterly failed to put anything to memory.

7.7/10.

Have /mlp/'s leak of the season finale. Not spoilered because -it's- /mlp/ and their leaks are never right On second thought, it is spoilered because it still reveals season finale info.

If by “people,” you mean the “Sam Internet Defense Force,” then yes, they were. It’s the first time I can ever actually say I witnessed shills on the internet. /pol/ was right again (as they always are).

The what? Googling that came up with the Jewish Internet Defense Force and some stuff about Surface-to-Air Missile sites, and I'm guessing it's not really the former and the latter's very much unrelated…

On a side note, the scam Kickstarter closed with no further funding!

HOOPLA!

Okay, so I got a lil' question related to the Gallery.
Should the screencaps, gifs and everything else from Rainbow Cocks Rocks shorts the Music to My Ears and Guitar Centered thingies be spoiler-tagged at all? I mean, I thought we've established that content from already officially released stuff should not be tagged and those shorts are not cut-outs from the actual movie, and I don't think we're gettin' any more official release of these than what we got already.

Because I can, I also post this, because it's related. Sorta.

I am using Firefox…

…it wasn't Firefox that crashed…

…it was Windows 7 that crashed…

…And thus for some reason Firefox had the "restore tabs" and "restore windows" options grayed out…

…Because if that were possible, I would have done that…

…Apparently, Firefox doesn't handle "Blue Screens of Death" well.

Sam Hyde was the guy behind the kickstarter. It's common to replace "Jewish" with whatever organization/person the people are defending For instance, the "Hasbro Internet Defense Force" would be those in the EQD comment section who unwaveringly defend Hasbro and declare any critics "haters."

@Krupam the Myrtanian
If it's from the shorts, I'd say no, since they're available to view on the internet by official means. Spoilers are for content that hasn't been fully released yet. Now if it's relating to the movie that I wish never happened, then yes, it should still be as the movie's not out yet.

@Lunar Protege
That's strange. Usually when Firefox unexpectedly closes, it'll either auto-restore the tabs or give you that "Well, this is embarrassing…" error message that still let's you restore things.

You could always upgrade to Windows Metro Oh, God. Please Buy Our Operating System. We'll Even Bring Back The Start Button! O…Of course it's made for PCs, don't be ridiculous! 8

Can I get some help please?

I'm looking for an MLP:FiM image where someone explains how ponies can hold stuff. It said that the ponies have blood pads that can harden when they touch stuff so they can clench them in their hooves.

Can anyone get a link to this image? Thanks.

So it turns out "General Firefly" was in fact a reference towards our lord and savior Lauren Faust…..Or it was something AKR came up with on Twitter to calm the fanboys. I'm leaning towards the Former.

Ah, I see, thank you.

@InspectorGadget25: Is this what you're looking for?
If not, there are other pictures saying the same thing.
I must say, it's an explanation I kinda like.

Hey Its been a while since I was paying attention to the fandom for awhile, I was kinda side tracked with life ( getting ready for College stuff mostly) and had no time to pay any attention to the community, and even the show as well (Since Filli Vanilli) Thankfully I have gotten got up to the latest episode, but I kinda want to be quickly filled in what's going on since I was gone. Just little synopsis's of events and if you want to, a link of it for further details.

The only thing I knew when I was kinda busy is that a group of people released a "Tribute Edition" Of Fighting is Magic, and I was able to download it and play it alittle bit. I don't know what's become of that group, or even if its playable now.

Thank you in advance to those who can quickly fill me in.

@MacDonalds Toy/Gender Com'on, there's no need to go to staff members of restaurant establishments about the gender identity of a toy brand, it's just not something that's worth loosing your legs over!

(I've been waiting 9 months to use that ^ – I'm not even sure if 'loosing your legs' is even a real idiom, but screw it, I'm taking the chance while I see it – I just make stuff up.)

@Episode

The VHS scene gave me strong nostalgia, and the examiner at the end gave Rainbow a 100%, despite not even looking at the other two sheets of paper that she had written on… The test was rigged..

This episode…



SO RAINBOW!

Everything about this episode was just so well done!
Definitely up there with the best episodes of not only this season, but the series as a whole!
(And I'm not just saying that because I like me my Dashie… though that certainly helps.)
There was a believable problem to overcome complete with actual emotion invested, a good integration of the entire cast without making it seem forced or rushed, an interesting ending, lots of new world-building, and the whole thing was wrapped in a cocoon of silly adorableness.

(Wow, I just went back to watch it again and realized that the whole opening sequence was a massive foreshadow for Rainbow's aerial perception. 'Worst sneak attack ever!' Another cool detail!)

Now if you will excuse me, pony needs hug.

@Kewl
Well, technically that reference works both ways since Lauren Faust chose the name Fyre_Fly as a reference to the G1 pony Firefly since she was her favorite character.
Not going to stop us from assuming it's the pony:

@Alex Mercer: The "thing" isn't working for me.

@Krupam: I'm fine with not spoilering the clips. They're not even like spoilers, they're more or less backstory from what I understand. (They look more like deleted scenes or something of that nature if they're not actually a part of the movie.) That YTP was funny though.

@McDonalds Toy/Gender: Meh, it doesn't rustle my jimmies too much. I would prefer they reference it by the toy, but that's kinda a mouth full. Still, I was going to get one today, but refrained from doing so because I am such a closet brony and the cashier said "Will that be a boy's or a girl's toy?" (Fuken gender stereotypes.)

@New Episode: I'm not much of a Dash fan, but that was buckin awesome!!! I could totally relate to her (since I have some form of ADD). Me likey! And that 90's throwback was over the top AWESOME! I like how they even took the format from 16:9 ratio down to 4:3. It worked perfectly. And the constant rewinding sounds/effects just made it that much cooler. Soooo much nostalgia. +10 to show staff for attention to details!

@Deadparrot, Good point, and I do love references to G1, just the little nods, and that is one funky hat that Firefly is wearing!

Also, although the rapping brown background pony is probably some generic rapping background pony, I want to believe that was The Doctor.

- and personally, I find the idea of The Doctor doing something like rapping really funny because it's so out of character and something he'd never d-
