Actually the fish isn't meat, that's why Chatolics can eat it during Lent.

EDIT: Woohoo! My first page, oh I have no idea what should we post about, oh wait, keep posting

I'll never understand how fish flesh does not count as meat. It's meaty. It's bloody. Its fatty. It doesn't run on Chlorophyll. It must be meat

@ Blue
Are you saying succubuses aren’t sexy? Cause I take offense to that! >:[

I tried to find an image of a succubus to respond to this, but they come in two camps. A: too grotesque to post here. B: too NSFW to post here

So here's a pony instead

+1 for references inside of references!

@BSoD
Sonata will win the waifu battle, you say?

Well, to be fair, Sunset being paired with Flash was literally canon.
There are very few direct 'romantic' relationships even implied in the show so when two characters are directly said to have dated, it makes sense that it would be seen rather commonly in the fanart.
That said, Sunset has had fans from the start and has only gained ground with the recent clips from the new movie.

I do agree that Sonata is coming in with the rookie charm advantage.
Though I will point out that I recall Aria (the double pigtails one) being the most popular after the first song was released, before we saw the three of them interacting non-musically.
Sonata's new popularity is definitely down to the characterization they have given her.
Ditzy, semi-awkward weirdos who are almost more naive than evil can be oddly endearing.

So yes, I anticipate a Sonata victory as well, but I also don't think it is quite as clear cut.

Speaking of shipping, some of you guys may be sick of me mentioning the shipping card game that I picked up and played at EFNW and BronyCon, but did I pique anyone's interest?
As it turns out, there is a free way to play it online with friends.
Would anybody be up for a game or two sometime?
Here's a pretty thorough rundown of the rules in video form and you can see an actual playthrough in the related videos.

Yeah, I'm just bored sometimes so why not fill time with weird card games?

Fish have crap luck in Equestria.

They are like MLP's Kenny.

Sonata is clearly the better waifu. And if you think she's the worst…..

@DeadParrot222
To be honest, I like to reference to references which reference to references, so I could reference to references while I'm referencing to references. Also I like explanations of explanations which explanating explanations of explanations of explanations of explaining. Self explaining, doesn' it?

Ya ever think they'll make MLP Transformers someday? I have a gut feeling they might.

Dog sized cartoon horses on the side of of a giant house tall transforming robots, destroying complete cities while they are fighting their evil variants? If they keep Micheal Bay as the director, this could happen.

@DeadParrot222:
I would like to play the TSSSF with all the people here someday, sure! Do you think you can set it up? We should also play Cards Against Humanity with MLP-related cards too, coz that's always fun.

Anyway, here's JHaller's Top Ten Pony Videos of August 2014:

"Puns are the lowest form of comedy." – Someone

"The pun is the only genre where booing stands in for applause." – Sir Platus of Kymshire

No post in 24 hours. Wow

Anyway, another trailer was released for RR. It showed basically all the same things except for this

Humans beware…

So Twilight used magic-science to make the portal open on command?
Holy fuck that's cool!

The Rainbow Rock soundtrack is out today! This marks the first time I ever bought something from iTunes.

@Pony Teansformers
Not a transformer per se, but they did recently come out with these odd little modular pony things.

Basically lets you mix and match parts to create ponies of your own.
And someone needs to tell their marketing team about how our shipping names work…
Implications…

@NeonWabbit
Cool!
Yeah, I'd love to get a game together sometime.
Let me know when you are available sometime and maybe we can try a 'proof of concept' run on this program.
I can get it to run and open the game, but I need to figure out how to connect to other players.
I have to assume Cards Against Humanity has a module available to play in that system, too.

@Jimmy's pun hate
Did you forget what show you are watching?

@Twilight's Science
YES! IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIIIIIIIVE!

We don't get nearly enough mad scientist Twilight, especially not in canon.
Yay!

@QWERTY
Who needs iTunes when you can use vinyl?

Yeah, apparently there are going to be official releases of pony songs on actual vinyl records.
Funky.

We lost a man of fine taste today. Moon Moon has decided to move on.

Posting good Luna art in his honor

^Wait, what happened?

(Was gonna reply to more stuff on the last page but this has me side-tracked for now)

Luna it is.

He died as Sonata, so I'm posting Sonata

Goodbye, Doctor Crazy Moon Moon.

Wait, I'm out of the loop. What exactly happened?

Lunar Protege said:

So… At risk of this being something somebody else already figured out, what do you guys think? Is it acceptable in Equestria to eat fish, but not any other meat?

I never got the hostility toward meat. There's already some canon to back it up (the AJ sandwich picture, baked goods, the shrimp cocktails, etc) and in order to develope such large and complex brains, you're going to have to eat meat. That's not even getting into the caloritic requirements of unicorns or pegasi.

…except for this…

It's the Flim Flam Bros Plothole Patcher 4000. Now with 40% more magitech.

@Moon Moon
RIP in piece. I will forever miss your unicode screennames and astrometrics degree. Now we'll never be able to calculate the exact distance between Equestria and its sun.

I sense some kind of mod shitstorm brewing--especially with the recent conflict over the image galleries and comment sections.

Blue Screen said:

For those wondering; he left for similar reasons as Verbs, I think. General dissatisfaction with modding direction. He was already planning on ditching the place after Verbs did and going with him as soon as Verbs was out so this is not unexpected. The last overturned modding decision of his; I’m guessing was the final straw

The brain part is the one that really seals it for me. See, ponies already behave a lot more like humans, and one of the human species' defining characteristics is the fact they are (for the most part) omnivores. Why should TV horses be any different?

@Moon Moon:

Goodnight, sweet prince.

@ Derpibooru:

Just tried a social experiment with Derpibooru. Basically, I just bulk uploaded some of my MLP-related stuff, good or bad, to see what'd happen to them. Go ahead and click the link in the previous sentence to see what happened, if anything.

@ Moon Moon deactivating:

Edited the after-credits scene in the upcoming KYM Thread Simulator 3 (runtime: 1hr30min) to reference this in some way. Sad to see him go.

Moon Moon is gone? Aww. That was abrupt. I guess his planet needed him.

@Neon

Analysing the results so far. There are several things you can already note:

• DPB prefers just pictures of teh pone
  It doesn't have to be the whole pone or nothing but the pone. It doesn't have to be expertly drawn pone (you may even get drawing advice). It just has to be pone. Images that focus on pones are more appreciated than not and might get a few upvotes.

• DPB really likes animated pictures of teh pone
  Your animated gif got considerably more upvotes, even though those pone-per-frame gifs are nothing new. DPB just likes animated stuff. Animated = good

• Chickun brings about mixed feelings
  DPB wasn't sure what to make of your chickun. netting equal positive and negative responses. That's because on one hand; chickun is ooooooldhat. People are tired of seeing it and prefer it remains retired. But many others still cherish and honor this historic meme in brone history. Memes in general might give you mixed results on DPB. Some may like getting memed on but many may feel that memes distract from the pure pone images that they want

• DPB does not like mspaint mock art or troll shoops
  These guys are mostly art connoisseurs. They are here to find artwork that tried. They don't take kindly to troll images that were made for a cheap giggle. They don't know the context of the joke, so they really don't find it funny. MS Paint mockups are more likely to get downvoted. Doesn't matter what it is. DPB only rewards effort

• DPB especially does not like mock art/troll shoops that barely has pone in it
  The image that got totally karmabombed is pony related. But there's no pone in it. As I said before, DPB prefers just pictures of the pone. So totally-not-serious-scrapped-together-trolololol-jpeg-artifact-mspaintwordexcell image + no visible pone = no saving grace. Prepare for maximum downvotes

Hello there.

Been a little busy lately, yet again. Soon as I got out of the library gig, I got tossed into an art academy. Well, I arranged to get tossed there, but anyway, would have preferred a bit of breathing room in between.

So, if any of you fine folk be missing little old me (ha, fat chance, right?) I'm 'fraid you're gonna be disappointed. This shit's booked for a whole school year. Freedom's scheduled for next summer. I do have a lappy with me and weekends at home, but the pace 'round here's pretty murderous. Hell, I barely got things done in time last week.

It's pretty fun though, and good practice. Already got a couple of new tricks under my belt.

Also, one of my fellow students (almost all of whom are female) asked me if I was a brony. Turns out she's a pegasister herself. Heh.

But anyhow, might as well show off some of the stuff I've made. As usual, expect chimeric monstrosities. You'll have to forgive the crap quality, I keep forgetting to take an image-taker along, so I've been using my phone's p.o.s. camera.

I made this one last week. We were asked to draw a still-life and add fantasy elements to it. I originally intended to have the unicorn sit on the chair but I misjudged the proportions, ending up with too little space and somewhat elongated furniture. Didn't have time for a redo, so I solved the problem by making her go to lunch, hah. The text reads The Seer is out to lunch. Inquire about your fate a later time.


This week's work. We were asked to make a self-history piece. I spent quite a while trying to rewind my cranial tapes, but all I got out of it were a handful of isolated incidents. Since I didn't have much time after that, I just decided to pick one. I went with the moment I discovered anthro. I've got a little request related to this, but more on that later.


This one I started last weekend, procrastinated too much, and had to finish up double quick on Monday. Still not quite done, but eh, good enough. We were asked to do three pictures with rectangular, triangular and circular composition. The teacher especially liked the circular one.


This is what the teacher called a tahkopää, apparently some student from St. Petersburg is responsible for it's creation. It's made the rounds in these parts since it teaches the head's basic shape and shading it in an easily digestible manner. I got praise for this one, even though I made some measuring errors, heh.


This was pretty much my first time working with a coal stick instead of a graphite pencil. I think it turned out quite well, even if I made some measuring errors again.

Now, I've got a little bit of a request/challenge for you tech-savvy folks.

If you looked through my works up there, you'll notice the one about discovering anthro. Of course, I didn't know what such was called in those days, I was still learning the basics of English, after all. It's something of a recreation of the first image of that ilk that I recall seeing. Not a perfect one, I don't remember it quite that clearly, and I took some artistic liberties with it anyhow.

What I ask is this: Find me the original.

I had it saved on my computer (it was my desktop image, heh), but said computer is probably in a cube of compacted trash in a landfill somewhere. Not too surprising, considering it was around 12 years ago.

The brass tacks; The image has a white, anthropomorphic unicorn in a white dress holding up a flagpole. The flag has writing on it, I can't quite recall what, but I think it was the website's name or address. The background is abstract, black and gold in colour. Date of discovery is somewhere in the 2001-2003 range, I think.

Now here's the kinky part: I've already tried to re-tread the path that led me to it. I remember the exact terms freakishly clearly, "unicorn people". Good old Google, however, doesn't seem to have it in the repository of images. I looked through them pretty extensively. I did find other images I remembered from those days, though, but not the holy grail.

Maybe you folks know some tricks I don't, though. They say that what's been put on the internet never disappears. Time to prove it.

@Brownmane

Hello there. Fancy seeing you stop by again. Nice sketches btw

Anyway…

Find me the original.

I have no clues sorry. Furry dates back a long time. Far beyond 2001. And discovering the original furry art is one thing, but finding something specific that occurred long after it's invention is a mission. We'd need more specific details

Oh hello everybody, just stopping by after a month (and thankfully only 3 pages have passed, won't give me long to catchup but I will eventually….before Crash finishes Season 2.) to post this.

See you guys in another month!

@Blue Screen

How much more specific? 'Cause I don't really remember much anything specific, 12 years does funny things to the details. But the image (aside from the text) I remember freakishly clearly.

I remember I found it through Google with the words "unicorn people". I've tried the same trick again, but I only found some other anthro unicorns that I had vague memories of.

I tried to narrow the search to the specific years, but turns out Google's archive only extends to 2009.

I did try e621 and Googling "white anthro unicorn flag" just now but no such luck.

I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't at the end of my rope, here. I guess I could go through every last extant and non-extant webpage dating that far, but that would be a little prohibitively time-intensive.

But I guess it ain't all that important. It'd just be nice to have it again, it is a part of my artistic history, after all.

I mean like, any other unique keywords you think it would fall under?

Where did you last remember seeing it? On what site?

Did it have any associations with anything else what we could follow?

Whats the best possible approximation of what it looks like that you can find?

@Challange
Well I tried few of my tricks (which usually works) but all I found was few selfies from the 50s, few pony pics, one chikun, a compilation of clop pics and few "interesting" images, but nothing else, not even anthros!

Unique keywords? I think it was a sort of advertisement poster for the site it was on. Maybe try adding "poster", "advert" or something along those lines.

The site, that's a problem. I only remember it was one of those charmingly clunky 90's style sites. Something with stuff about unicorns. Can't really remember which one, I went through quite a few. The closest approximation I can find is this. I remember that one too, but it's not the one, I don't think. I tried wayback machining it and some of the sites it links to, but no luck.

Association? I have this vague notion it had something to do with some society or club. Maybe try those keywords as well.

The best approximation is that recreation among my sketches. This one. The original's unicorn isn't quite as long and thin, had white hair, was looking at the flag and had both hands on the flagpole. The flag had that writing I don't remember, most likely the name of the site or club it was advertising. There was nothing but the unicorn and the flag in it. The background was a downward flowing and blending pattern of black and gold. Should be quite easy to recognize on sight.

It sounds like it was a club emblem. Try your best to recall what that club was

Sorry, no can do. That's the one huge blank in my memory.

Guess the damn thing is well and truly lost to the sands of time. And here I thought I was some good at internet scavenger hunts. I've managed to find several other things from my past, even when my memory has been limited to only a few foggy images.

Then again, most of those were cartoons, not some obscure and esoteric image from the depths of the digital sea.

So sorry to see Moony go…

@New EQG
Oh cool, Tavi's getting a spotlight… and getting blasted.
That's pretty cool.
<div class=spoiler title="I guess I should go find that new trailer and check it out.">

Yay!
I sort of got the feeling from the trailer that all those shots of other bands being defeated will likely be short clips in a montage of the 'important' bands climbing the ranks toward the final showdown, but I'll still hold out a little hope for seeing something more extensive from a few of them.
Metal CMCs for one.
Whatever this is for two.

Also, in case anyone wants to know the voices behind their new waifus:

Which means…

Yep, Sonata is Gilda.
Just gonna let that one bounce around in your heads for a bit.

@Sonata VA
Wh-Wh-What… I… I… I have no words.

>Last post a day ago
It feels like forever.
So uh hey everyone sorry for being late on my new page picture spamming but high schools been a pain in my ass. @Deadparrot While i love the CMC to death i'm not too excited about the show stoppers, but the designs still look pretty awesome compared to other Equestria Girls desgins also
@Sonata Dusk Griffin

@MoonMoon gone

I guess i'll never get that friend and will be following him forever
well i guess i'll just hang around here and wait until someone makes a post in the barren wasteland of a thread

Did somebody say "barren wasteland"?

Ah, so that's why Gilda was never seen after Griffon The Brush Off. She was banished to the human world and she changed her name to Sonata Dusk.

@Sonata having same voice actress as Gilda

Hmm… Not sure if the fact makes it better or worse, but just looking at the two of them makes me think they'd make an interesting couple.

Think about it, a cute and slightly cunning girl with a lot of flare going out with a strong and brash tomboy.

That said… Why do I seem so obsessed with Selfsest?

@Lunar

Selfcest: for when incest fetishes still aren't familial enough. We have to get right down to identical genes

So guys, 'coz I'm bored, here a little challange what ya'll lose anyway. Basically on the next page you can't post pics about ponies, however, MLP style pics about Dragons, Draconequus, Griffons, etc. are accepted, so no ASCII arts, re-imaginations, or anything else about ponies, but you can write pony in the post and you can talk about them but no pics. So why I'm doing this? 'Coz…..

I want to play a game. But to be fair, the first post will not be counted. So how it was? Ah yeah! Leave or Do it, make your choice!
