Seaponies would've been a hit if they had came in 2013, not 2017. By that point their was a backlog of memes and things to run with and the fandom fell in love with another edgy waifu. Tempest. It really was due to a backlog of memes already being established that new memes were no longer made for everything that appeared like in the first three seasons.  

> G5

I don't know if being remembered as part of G5 would be a boon or a curse. Considering how turbo cancelled G5 is. Still, I do agree that their appearance did generate some short term success and I have seen a few people now fawning over seaponies even if there isn't as many autists yet. It is not a dead meme/fandom now. Slow burn might be better in the long run.

Not sure I 100% agree, but that is a very good point. I think  even things Derpi's restrictive spoiler rules also played a part as they kept Seaponies under it for quite awhile, enough for meme potential to die out.

As much as I feel more soured on it from what it implied with Twilight and the others. I don't think I completely hate the characters or concepts but execution left a lot to be desired. Looking back, perhaps the biggest waste was that BOTH the netflix series and YT shorts were dumbed down compared to FiM. Thus they didn't have a shot of inheriting both kids who grew up with FiM and the some larger chuck of the fandom.   

 >>/11226/
Surprised I missed this post. 

> The earnest fans of the show I've seen seem quite passionate about it, and that's in spite of the obvious strong hatred the show received from the fandom. So I can't help but respect people who not only love something so hate
> and that was with a huge supportive fandom still left intact. What the G5 fans are going to do and where they're going to go, I've no idea
A big question I have is how separated G5 and G4 fans are. I know there is an overlap but I've seen talk of a lot of G5 fans being zoomers who have a distaste for the old G4 fandom to some extent but I don't know if these are real dynamics or half made up dynamics that are more complicated Like, eh, Skibidi Toilet, the supposed "gen alpha" meme that is made by an old source film maker guy, any ol' person who even was partly familiar with SFM videos would know how surreal those could be at times.

> By which I mean not just that the sooner we get G6 the sooner we'll see which one of these it will be, but the sooner we get G6, if it's bad, the sooner we'll get G7 too, and G8 and so on until they bury the franchise, or manage to make it into something again.
That is like the most optimistic take on the corporate milking cycle. I am, while not completely cynical, more skeptical anything new from the franchise could ever hold my interest. Yet I get the sentiment. I have been debating going through and reviewing Pony Life. Even if it is kind of stupid and low quality, maybe I would be inspired by meme fuel or something. Some fun could still be had.

I tried watching the pilot for the series, but it was so annoying that I did not finish it.  It reminded me of kids' cartoons from the early nineties where the characters talked like auctioneers, there were lights flashing everywhere, and everything reeked of old people trying to pander to the younger generation with ham-fisted tropes (now it's cellphones and live streaming; back then it was skateboards and video game consoles).  The killer is that I could have gotten into the universe otherwise.  The world has an interesting premise, enough that I could have even gotten beyond my distaste for 3DCG.

I can appreciate trying to cultivate new fans.  G5 needed to do that after the G4 fanbase took a nosedive off a cliff about half-way through its run.  Unfortunately, the formula they went with to do so is a painfully familiar one that was obviously developed by a marketing department.  There is no myth to it and, like the premise itself, no magic.

 >>/12194/
>  but it was so annoying that I did not finish it
Some episodes are stronger than others but yeah, that is completely understandable. I didn't f8nd it annoying but certainly weaker. It was a big downgrade from the movie, which had some promise.

>  Unfortunately, the formula they went with to do so is a painfully familiar one that was obviously developed by a marketing department. There is no myth to it and, like the premise itself, no magic.
Yeah, I think that is exactly it's weakness. About halfway through. I tried to give it a chance in the context of a show aimed at a slightly younger audience and may still finish it. Some stuff I liked but it is far from G4, even Season 1 CMC feel.. IDK, more alive? This situation reminds me of Bionicle with both Hero Factory and G2, neither were bad per see, and the former might have been overly hated, but it was missing the myth and sense of wonder as the original.

> The killer is that I could have gotten into the universe otherwise. The world has an interesting premise, enough that I could have even gotten beyond my distaste for 3DCG.
Yeah, the background is kind of post-apocalyptic. Someone decribed it as a diet Fallout Equestira and that almost fits if you squint. Not that it had to be horribly dark, just that it had to something to it and more advanced ponies atop an old civilization trying to rediscover magic ain't a bad setting unto itself.

My biggest personal problem with G5 though probably was related to that almost darkness/attempt at depth when you put background lore together, it turns Twilight Sparkle's story into a tragedy with some choices that were questionable in universe.

 >>/12194/ 
It sort of gets better, but only for moments. The pegasi characters I liked and Misty has (slight) depth, but felt kind of boiler plate. It really does feel like a marketing driven show that was put together by a focus group in how they handle references to pop culture and setting. 

 >>/12197/
> it was missing the myth and sense of wonder as the original.

That is a perfect way to describe it.   Without it, some of the characters feel very flat. Pipp, Zip and their mom are the exceptions. 

> diet Fallout Equestria 

I believe some twitterfag called Wintergleam first coined that and really tried to push that idea. Maybe you ought to use nitter or something to look up her threads, bridgefag? Her approach to fandom analysis reminded me uncannily of what you tried to do in /go/. She got burned a bit by the drama of twitter and mostly abandoned the effort

Did not know that! I found this pretty humorous, never heard of this show.

I don't know their attitude there to pone too well but I would imagine a slight stigma generally exists for G1 stuff but less strong... not something I've actually checked out. Might want to look around and see how independent G1 memes and such are from G4, considering they predated FiM's rise (Seaponies anybody?)

Eh; have a few easier ones.
First I saw someone post about Blackjack, meaning the card game but I thought it should be easy enough to make a red-and-black alicorn.
> guess not.

Next some copy-pasta from someone else's AI prompt to get an exhausted Twi going through every last book late into the evening.
The really amusing part is the negatives. So, after specifying there's a table, and a book, and just Twi's head visible staring at one of those two things, the prompter felt (had learned?) it was necessary to negate multiples of: anuses, clitorii, ponuts, tails, heads, and also avoid anything 3d or source-filmaker.
> after specifying hyper realism

That last image. It's the only one with that look in her eye. Usually when she's looking across the table she's clearly blaming you for the catastrophe she's researching how to shut down properly.
That's not what I see in her eyes here, though.

 >>/12006/
in retrospect, AI prompts of stories that haven't been written yet probably deserve to be in their own [containment] thread.

It's way too easy to slap together an AI copy/paste job that looks like an image that could come from a story. It is WAY more work to write a story that begs for an image of a scene.

 As any writer in here would know. I feel like quoting U2, and this quote I even overuse because I see it so often, but
Every artist is a liar, every poet a thief.

She doesn't look bad though. She almost looks like a gender swamped Sombra.

I think the second to the last one she looks morning grumpy over angry, but yes, that last one she does have the look of somepony doing a research project on the double. 

> It's way too easy to slap together an AI copy/paste job that looks like an image that could come from a story. It is WAY more work to write a story that begs for an image of a scene.
Agreed. Especially if inspiration tries to take you elsewhere.

Yes, it is fitting. I post New Years Dayevery year, so if anybody overdoes U2 it's me!

I had been toying with the idea of bringing back a thread that served the purposes of the old mmaymays GET thread  >>/400/ which we used to post stories that didn't thematically fit elsewhere ( >>/3835/). Maybe AI could fit in some write dump thread? Of course, that would be the time there would be a sudden burst of activity and we end up with the need for a seperate AI general.

well, different preferences, I guess. I mean, entitlement within anonymous circles doesn´t count very much (and it can easily backfire) but the interest wouldn´t be taken away from you so, the trade was worthwhile in the long run.

> yeah pretty much. moots an idiot.
just because one comes to the same conclusion that thousands of other people have already said for years doesn´t change at all the result. He´s no longer taking part in this game.

> I learned recently there's a ton of african words that aren't actually of any african language. A ton were added by europeans because they lacked a lot of concepts that europeans had at the time. a good example is the word future or tomorrow. But I know little else outside of that and a few other examples.

interesting. Even though it makes a lot of sense considering that writing systems were pretty much non-existent (with a handful of exceptions of course) and the illiteracy rates were downright dreadful at the time,let´s not going to lie ourselves. 

Keep in mind that technology doesn´t simply apply to objects or digital devices, language stands as technology as well.

They had to build something out of nothing and they didn´t simply have the tools for expressing said concepts so, those imposed words would settle a shortcut for those concepts/words/expressions that would be seen as weird tools back then. But they wouldn´t offer any other alternative of communication that could compete against it so, it was pretty much bound to happen one way or another.

We haven´t been missing anything from that board, have we?

does 2017 (or 2016 for the creation of this board) count as something worthy to qualify as old at this point? I mean, the internet makes things feel old pretty fast but still, those are big words in my eyes.

> I havne't looked much through the catalogue yet, is there any threads you'd recommend
pretty much what I haven´t hidden in these two screencaps. I think that the 5 NMAiE generals (the equivalent of the MLP General) should give you an index of the main relevant threads that have been popping up over time as well as some works from the main users.

> yeah something like that, who is CB?
someone who definitely stands out for writing Conversion Bureau stories that have been shared around here. Also, he is the main active user for the /webm/ thread as well as some of the MLP music that he shares around there. His main threads are >>/7485/ and >>/4724/. 

By the way, he is the oldest user of this place by a long shot (even close to being an original user when the 8chan migration test occurred) but we had to figure out to his status indirectly, he doesn´t claim that by himself. For the most part, there are some subtleties and indirect puns in order to send a hidden message throughout his posts at times, so he...is Outside this place, IIRC I think that he has a Twibooru profile for his activity in other circles as well as turning into the owner (?) of /8pone/ for keeping it alive to some degree. 

> it wasn't so much political, it was the fact that a major chain of gaming media outlets were blackmailing people and taking bribes, including the demand for sex, in order to guarantee good reviews of games, irrespective of if the game was good or not.had very little to do with poltics, but of course the journalists who were caught out decided to make it about politics and started crying about all sorts of unrelated things.

oh boy, corruption and suitcases full of money in order to give those valuable 9s and 10s for unfinished games that wouldn´t get a pass under normal circumstances. Corruption as its finest and that doesn´t surprise me in the slightest. I understand a little bit better why /v/ considers gaming journalism as a job that is more frowned upon than anything else. Just another layer on top of a really messed up industry that focuses on clicks and fast articles (lack of infrastructure and academia except for retro gaming stuff). 

> what is the name you go by?
I don´t think that a lurker (who has been pretty much retired from being active in this place for these last couple of years) matters all that much. You´ll instantly figure it out as soon as you begin to delve into this board, anyway.

Look in the BookFort thread to find them, if you like. I've never felt it was finished enough to publish it on FiMfiction but some have liked what they've seen.

>  For the most part, there are some subtleties and indirect puns in order to send a hidden message throughout his posts
I just finished listening to Vaceslav singing about this topic.

I mentioned somewhere around here that Ponies at Dawn were releasing an album? It includes an EDM remake of Scarborough Fair.

I think that he has a Twibooru profile
Twibooru is down ATM though, so there isn't that.

 I was able to find a "scared Sweetie Belle" .stl file on Thingiverse. Haven't tried printing it yet because the printer is broken - again - but since I'm trying to wind down for the start of my work-week tomorrow, I'll end with a recharging sweetiebot instead.

I forgot about that while I was typing it. Hopefully enough, all your works happen to be registered on FIMFiction or somewhere else because it facilitates the diffusion of said works with a greater chance to stand the test of time among those who read said works.

The trick isn't deciding what's wrong with the tags as-used-now, the trick is convincing the unwashed hordes it's worth going back to re-tag all the backlog of artwork so you can find what you want and exclude what you don't.

If you weren't so very, very alone, this would be reasonable, because that same unwashed horde would realize they could sort, favorite, and blacklist with greater precision.

And then you find out there are bronies who are angry because their upload of some art they found somewhere on the interwebs was denied because they couldn't string four tags together to describe what they were uploading.

 >>/10255/
The problem is those who have porn brain pollute things to freakish fetish territory. Kind of the way fetishes work. Anons who have more tastefull and moderate taste don't have good tags. You can find some attempts "reasonably sized X," but still their needs to be tagging work.

Even if alone, it isn't completely undoable. Personal booru software and a some elbow grease you could amass a good collection of reasonable pony images. Keep a list and mass tag the shit when you get a good idea of what to look for. 

Wasn't there a anon here who did talk about something like this once? I don't think it was fetish related though.

Horse penis is significant in size IRL. However, the proportions are off. It's unrealistically thick in terms of trying to be anatomically correct. Also that erect penis reaches to/past the forelegs. To be correct, it should reach around halfway to the forelegs. Reposting that pic here.
