Starting the thread off with a favorite of mine, Celestia's visit: https://pastebin.com/S4zxGXXs

I liked this one very much. It's a pity the writefag left it unfinished. https://ponepaste.org/5031

Got bored while working so I drew lil' Firestone and his proud papa (you).

>>17774 Cute!

Made a small Villainon animation: https://files.catbox.moe/3sne2e.mp4

>>17805 Cool video. Anon must be the king of Twister over there.

>>17805 This is soooo cute! Oh my gosh I love it!

>>17805 Berry cute Anon, thank you.

Was buying bread the other day and thought about how neat it'd be to try a loaf from a pony whose cutie mark was in bread-making. That in tandem with the 2-for-1 deal I found at the store inspired me to draw these.

>>17858 Exceptionally cute. Deserving of accolades. Worthy of high praise. You remind me of why I love ponies.

>>17858 I love this very much, anon! Thank you for posting!

>>17858 Based Based

>>17858 Based breadmare.

>>7542 I love that pic with Ms Harshwhinny. Enjoying a slice of pizza with a pone must feel like heaven.

>>17858 i love the breadmare!

>>17858 Phenomenal

>>17858 >>24087 >>24140 I love how she's so happy at the end that she whinnies and snorts. That is now part of my headcanon for how ponys respond when overwhelmed by happiness.

>>7542 Proud to say I made the OP image macro, and have seen it used so much

If humans just naturally lived on the same planet Equestria is on, do you think having a pony wife would be looked down on?

>>25970 I'm sure there would have been some stigmas against it in years past, the same way mixed race couples would be looked down upon. But since pones are sentient and mutual attraction would inevitably emerge, I'm sure the stigmas against human-pony relations would eventually fade.

>>25970 I think a major factor in that would be proximity. Are humans across the other side of the world, less in touch with the other races they share Equus with? There'd probably be a stigma, sure. Less about "being with an animal" and more "being with an outsider", given how the amount of quadrupedal sapient races outnumber the bipeds. If the human nation is more active on the world stage, I imagine it'd be a lot more accepted.

>>26926 >If the human nation is more active on the world stage, I imagine it'd be a lot more accepted. Could end up having the exact opposite effect.

>>26926 >Equus It's Earth, you dummy

>>17858 Sourdough Roll a cute! >>17859 >>24147 Seeing them happy makes me happy. They're so consistent at this.

Does it get any better than this?

>>26939 >Earth Ponies named the land "Earth" after themselves.

>>27240 >Pinkie Pie and Applejack carry an odd hint of smugness around the rest of the Mane 6 after Anon touts the beauty of Earth's natural features.

Why are the fics where the hie is nice so shitty but when the aie is nice its funny

>>29462 After having thought it over, I do have a few theories: The first being that aie, despite being called Anon, isn't actually trying to be a direct self-insert as much as hie; so he ends up just naturally being less obnoxious. Second theory could just be that Anon himself is more of a character than a blank slate, so there's more to work off of from the get-go, and making it less of an uphill battle for writers. Third and final theory, is that hie usually just requires more lore to work, so writers end up focusing too much on that, and not enough on their human characters, causing them to come off as awkward (much like my shitty writing). Sorry if you were expecting a meme answer. Here's a goofy gif.

>>29462 Oh, and this meme isn't that far from the truth. >We don't lack good HIE stories; we lack the literary giants to pen them. Any writer trying to make a hie story that isn't just shameless smut, would probably just be better off creating their own pony and human inhabited world, with its own lore instead.

>>29464 >hie usually just requires more lore to work Does it? You could just use the same origin as Anon, which is >Just showed up one day >>29467 >better off creating their own pony and human inhabited world, with its own lore instead. Something like the PiE world that NEETpones tend to inhabit?

>>29538 >Does it? You could just use the same origin as Anon, which is >Just showed up one day Anon is usually absurd, so it tends to just work better with him, and flow better with the story as well; were as an original character has a whole different burden expected of them, that being: "make it make sense" >Something like the PiE world that NEETpones tend to inhabit? Pony in Earth? Not really what I meant no. I meant a different fantasy world altogether, built from the ground up, maybe even completely separated from Hasbro. Now that you mention PiE though, are there any decent fics of that, that you'd care to recommend?

>>29541 >are there any decent fics of that, that you'd care to recommend? Not that I've read. I hear nostalgic things about "My Little Dashie", but I still haven't gotten around to reading it. I do immediately think of one fic about the Mane 6 coming to Earth and being sex trafficked before being rescued by a CompSci nerd. It wasn't very good but I think of it.

>>29548 >"My Little Dashie" Anytime I hear about that fic I just think of this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiGKQCENk68 >I do immediately think of one fic about the Mane 6 coming to Earth and being sex trafficked before being rescued by a CompSci nerd. It wasn't very good but I think of it. Ya, that doesn't sound like it'd be all that great.

>>29541 Not him but I've found some really fun PiE fics in /mlp/'s Slave Pony general. At first I expected all the stories to be fetish shit but apparently that's relegated to another general. https://ponepaste.org/1590 A lot of them follow the formula of: (You) rescue pony from abuse, (You) rehabilitate pony from trauma + side drama, (You) and pony fall in love through some mixture of the Nightingale/Reverse Nightingale Syndrome. The simple savior complex plotline is like junkfood to me but I remember a few greens actually exploring that formula in a mature/realistic way. The greens I liked the most were the dark ones without much or any romance, though. The first one I'd recommend follows the basic formula that started the general pretty well: https://ponepaste.org/1876 (the ending for this one makes me want to kick the writer in the nuts) There's another one that's ongoing about Mayor Mare getting captured by tribal humans and going from farm animal status to something like the war advisor to the chief: https://ponepaste.org/5389 (there's 2 other parts) As weird as it sounds the generational traumas and weird mindsets that come from ponies being a caste of sex slaves are really interesting to read about. Even some of the more smutty greens like to explore that, strangely. Filly Brothel and the other stuff this author wrote is heartbreaking: https://ponepaste.org/2645 I've only seen a few greens from the hassenfeld pony and /bootleg/ generals but they seem to be pretty similar PiE stuff. If you end up liking some of the greens I linked you could look there too.

>>29592 >/mlp/'s Slave Pony general. At first I expected all the stories to be fetish shit but apparently that's relegated to another general. The fetish stuff goes in /sim/ I think, submission is mandatory or whatever, but I don't read that stuff. It's usually pretty cringe-y at best. I've only read a couple of /spg/ stories that were good, most that I read are either weird as hell or just not very well written, some are just the ever tiresome unfinished. The Buying a bookhorse story and the Fire and Sky series both by Lurkernon are probably the only /spg/ things I really liked enough to remember.

>>29592 Slave/rape pony green texts, are the mlp fandoms equivalent of trailer park meth.

Even though I call it trailer park meth, I'm still guilty of reading this trash. >https://ponepaste.org/2536 Bit salty after having read this, as it ended up being more of a sad fic then a crazy bitch x stallion fic that it seemed to start out as; still enjoyed it, kinda. >https://pastebin.com/ruFsTieU I did enjoy this one, however plain it may be, although, it did feel like it should have gone on a bit longer.

Finally found something from Slave Pony General that I really enjoyed, even if it didn't end up being what I expected. If you're just looking for a clop fic this ain't it. https://ponepaste.org/3347 >And then he deleted his pastebin. The end. Sad to see this kinda thing happen, but at least it has a proper ending.
