Ok I'll give you that. But anyways, I was wondering if you guys could help a brony out. Trying to write a cross-over fanfic of MLP and Dante's Inferno. I got the first part up and wanted to see what you guys thought. I know they're many spelling errors, even with spell check, but give a little criticism and tell me what you think. Note this is my first try so give a little leeway for me.

I haven't played Dante's Inferno so I can't help you out there. Hell, I'm pretty much quoting this so people on this page notice it and you won't be ignored, but I hope you get some constructive criticism and figure how everything's going.

AS FOR THIS NEW PAGE.

The topic of this page has been reserved to Octavia.

Did anyone see the picture they posted on the homepage? I feel like it gives us a bad name, like we're all furries or something.

I found that image quite funny myself. One stupid picture can't give us a bad name, but our reaction to it could. Just don't take these jokes too seriously; if we lose the ability to laugh at ourselves we risk looking stuck-up and defensive.
Remember that a fairly large proportion of the brony fanbase are furries, and they contribute a great deal to the community. You're making the same mistake that Fridgesrants made by judging a group of people by their most extreme members. There are plenty of furries who don't get involved with the pornographic side of their fanbase, just like there are plenty of bronies who can't stand clopfics or rule 34 content.
Also, be sure to take the time to read the letter Daniel Vazquez posted. The writer makes a lot of good points regarding hypocrisy within the brony fandom. He changed my mind about furries when I first read it about a month ago.
Anyway, rant over, have some Octavia:

Adorable Octavia filly is adorable


@Sinister
Don't worry about it; we all say things we regret from time to time. We won't hold it against you.
@gillinater23
I've read your fic, and I'm working on some constructive criticism. I'm not very good at translating my thoughts into words, so it could take me a while to get back to you with a decent review. I'll send it in a private message later on.

I know I already posted these images yesterday, but they're:
1) Relevant
2) Goddamned awesome
So I figured I could get away with posting them again.

@gillinater23
Review has been sent. Sorry if I come across as being a little harsh.

Look, I'm not trying to call out furries, I'm saying that non-brony sentiments seem to place us in the same group as furries. I won't lie, in the past I've been vocal against MLP mixing with furries, and I prefer they stay separate, but that doesn't mean I hate them, as you are implying. Besides, my post was about how the haters seem to think we're a bunch of perverts who masterbate to children's characters. For example, I showed a guy a pony thread once, and his exact reaction was "What is this furriness."
I love this fandom just as much as the next brony, but I don't want the lines between us and our furry associates to be blurred.

@Sinister
Only one reasonable solution…

VOTE UP ALL THE POSTS!

@Vulcan
In that case, sorry for the overreaction. Guess I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions.

@SinisterSnuggles
I don't believe in karma. I like the concept, but I don't think doing good or evil necessarily means one will receive it in kind. If the universe works against people, I hope it's fighting fire with water. Besides, thumbing down isn't that big of a deal, is it? I don't know, really.

I prefer giving to those who deserve it and who need it. Like Santa Claus. Or Oprah.
Mo' thumbs up, bruhs.
Needing to replace with new pics…
 
Also, Octavia thread needs more Octavia.


 
The person behind this tumblr makes me like Octavia a lot more than I should like background ponies. Such wit…

@Verbose
Oh you, always so philosophical. As much as I enjoy discussing such things, this seems like neither the time nor the place. For now, I think Octavia deserves our undivided attention.


@Sinister
I'm liking your idea… If only we had some way of bringing the parasprites to us…

@Algernon: Don't worry about it, brony. I was directing the message more at Daniel.

Also, I think I'll mention something about a fanfic I'm writing. Octavia is in it. And I'm shipping her with Doctor Whooves. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

@Algernon
For Octavia, I will leave my kramatic philosophies at home.

Less of me talkin'. More best background pony.

 

 
I will bake muffins for the man or pony that makes Octavia a CO in the next Advance Wars game.

Dear SinisterSnuggles,

I found this for you. If I linked to it properly, the posts including and before this offers some sources where pony-type trainers find and train their strongest pokemon. Wait, this isn't Mt. Silver…

Sincerely,
Verbose

P.S. Octavia is hard to find on the Web. Much like Waldo. Except she's nothing like Waldo. Because she's a pony.

Ok I tinkered with my writing and made it better. Tell me what you guys think, before I submit it.

@Daniel
Awesome!

Anyways staying with the theme.

The Vinyl Scratch Tapes, anyone?

Haven't read it? Inexcusable. Read it here
(Unless you really don't like shipping, then you might want to avoid it. If you just hate fanfiction, I guess that's a good reason too)
This thread needs moar Lyra:


And yes, that last one was a shipping pic. That's what happens when I start running out of material. If this gets much worse I'm going to have to start posting ponies with socks.

@gillinater23
I read your story. I don't think the story is bad at all. See all that mess I sent you for more details.
 
@Algernon
The Vinyl Scratch Tapes is pretty cool. As a fan of radio and ponies, I endorse reading it. But, then again, I probably haven't read 10 fanfictions in total.
 
Lyra x Octavia is hogwash. Vinyl Scratch will throw a telephone in angry disbelief.


We are reeeeally running out of material though.

Filly Octavia is adorable.




Back to giving krama.
Let's love and tolerate this entire thread.

Looks like Octavia has found her way to the drawball. I remember back when those drawball wars were going on, and we had Rarity, Derpy, Fluttershy, Applebloom and Trixie (plus a few more that didn't last very long) all on there within the space of a few days . It all ended with an alliance between us and some French forum. Good times…

Octavia confirmed for background nun pony in Season 2.


 
@SinisterSnuggles
I see somebody is using my username on these silly, silly ask blogs (read as: I love these blogs…well, at least the well-drawn and/or cleverly conceived ones.)
 
All hail the queen of non-speaking background ponies!

She doesn't banish to the moon! She merely sits with awkward regality.
