Oh, cool. So they're similar to a cross between the Breezies and the DnD pixies then?

 

I actually know nothing about the DnD pixies, going to look them up ;^^

Reminds me of a pixie from DnD.

Neat design, not a fan of the pink, but that's a personal thing.

Still a cool concept art

Thank you, they can be multiple different colors.

Hell I Have been working on a species and would like some ideas and critiques on it before I add more to them.

You guys are so great at giving critiques I decided this would be a good place to get some good feedback!

Thank you for your time.

I just watched the end of 6 and I am so HYPE I honestly want Starlight to become a princess now??? unpopular opinion probly...

Feel free to take my advice with a grain of salt. the most important thing to remember is that these are your characters, not anybody else's. If your OC has a compelling story behind who they are and why they look the way they do, I bet it will be accepted.

Thank you, it has been noted U u U
Oskar was actually my first animal inspired pony. They are colored after a type of fish (which i swear i wouldn't remember my own name if i didn't hear it all the time)... Was thinking of making it like a different original species, but don't have enough story in mind for it personally other than i like the colors.

I like that for BlueJay I'll draw something to make it more obvious to see how i feel about it and have the wings and face be paint/dye
For Oskar it could be like a vest or shirt of some sort or even a cloak.

I know what you mean about red and black... tho I feel since i'm not really running in the edgey type direction it could be ok?

hmm I'll play around with the clothing idea thank you!

The designs could work, but you need to make it a stage thing. Since they're both musicians, there are actual reasons that they might dye their coats and wings like that.

Didn't think of that thank you c:

I agree with the above comment. A choker would make her definitely look cuter than she already is.

I have two OCs and I love them and plan to RP with them, but am worried they won't be accepted

I could and plan on adding cutie marks to their flanks.

But as far as appearances go, would these be ok?

For their bios

May I has one?

In the signature

I'd love some art when you open up some more slots/finish some drawings!

Oh sure

I may be delayed even for the previous ppl, simply because my can ended up not coming back, so going through some high emotional strain currently

Are you able to do this OC? http://i.imgur.com/uRd4U9d.png

Certainly

Could you do my OC, Rave Darkmane? 

 

Cure

Could you do my OC?

Her cutie mark is a white snowflake with a pawprint in the middle

I can try, haven't drawn a snowflake before

You want to try to draw my OC?

Sure, only one in your pages? or do you have other references

-shrugs- thought is would be a cute title

But I would like to do more drawing sketch practice, but have very bad indecisiveness :v

I'll open ... four slots for now
May make this a more official forum...

I would like to practice more on my creature drawings for now
(If it is insect like that would be prefered, but not necessary)

1 potato- 's "Wolf"

2 potato- Seaswirl10
3 potato- JonaDarkmane
4 potato- Arctic Sunbeam

(it's 2 in the morning here and am drained from summer courses, don't mind me)
Feel like sketching will help give me something to get my mind off stressors

Sorry no examples, but free so what you got to lose right?

This all depends what you are defining an opinion as...

Let's keep in mind that Beliefs and Prejudices are NOT opinions

Opinions are personal view or judgement about something. This varies from person to person and does not effect anyone else but you.

Example: I do not like bananas, so I do not want them in my smoothie. This does not impact a person who likes them, it only impacts you since you are the one receiving a smoothie without bananas.

Beliefs are based off an individual's culture, faith, and values

Example: It is your belief that Gods are real. This also can/should only impact you. If your neighbor does not belief in Gods, it does not effect you, nor should your belief in Gods affect them. AKA, not one belief is more correct than another, similar to opinions. They are both personal.

Prejudice is based on insufficient or unexamined evidence. A prejudice is testable, unlike beliefs or even opinions. They can come from culture or environment around the individuals. When the media, family, or culture influence a prejudice, the masses tend to take it without question or regard for detailed evidence. These target a specific person or a group of people.

Example: Women are terrible drivers. This is obviously testable, but unfortunately since this culture is biased towards this prejudice, the evidence and statistics are insufficient.

Statistics are not something to be taken seriously, they are not the end of your research to find evidence. Who created the statistic, where did they get their data, who/where did they survey/test? Asking questions is good, always ask questions.

In short,

I'm assuming by opinions of opinions you mean something like
"People who like Pop music are obnoxious"

That is not only a vague and variable statement, but is is also a prejudice.
It targets everyone who likes pop music, and labels them as 'obnoxious'

Which of course, liking a genre alone does not define you as an individual.

EDIT:

What is your understanding regarding those words?

 

What is the coolest bone that you have? 

 

hmmm

I really love my raccoon skull! Still debating what to make with it

But also love this cracked deer antler and a little bird skull I painted

Can see awful phone camera pictures of it here

Sorry just super proud of my collection

(still have the rest of the racoon and a squirrel buried in the back yard... almost forgot to check on them

EDIT:

btw

I loooveee your icon! Raven is amazing

It's about honesty kindness laughter generosity and loyalty. These are, have been, and always will be the traits that make up the magic of friendship

stahp it

I agree tho, the core messages of the canon show are wonderful!

And so are some of the fan comics I keep up with

more reasons, hmmm

how about willing to accept me despite my different beliefs and views

respectful when I request certain content to be hidden under a spoiler

Understanding when something has upset/hurt me

Not feeling like I am invisible or ignored, ever (for here at least)

How the value of friendship is understood so everyone is willing to be friendly and respectful to anyone

Yes. Tagging it would be essential. The bigger people know how to do it. There are "edgy" people who enjoy getting on the nerves of the others. Amateurs and fools!  :okiedokielokie:

 

Well if you don't push your agenda in other's face then they have no reason to be rude to you.

I don't like people who chase after others. I respect everybody's safe place.

 

The "don't like it don't look it up" thing is universal for all sides.

-nods-

only an issue when you go knocking on someone obviously not into your thing like "have you heard the good news"

... it's like

please stay in your own space

I'll be honest. I don't consider myself a brony.

It is an identity that's cool if you wear it and like it. Beside that I don't really care about it.

What matters is you like the ponies and the show!

 

The nsfw content. Is umm... there.    

And people who are having their escapism doesn't like being told what to draw. 

 

In general websites like tumblr are like the Wild West. No rules, no boundaries.

Even I don't browse it openly because it is like a minefield. 

 

On Social Justice I am umm---- on the other side but it's always essential to keep a friendly and welcoming environment.

Sometimes SJ people / feminists are too aggressive. You know playing on the attack and stuff. 

 

Live and let live is the best policy.

Pony would recommend it.

oh i know!

I can understand their aggression, since it is stressful to always be pushed down

There are plenty that are more friendly and post educational...posts

tho they do have their moments like any human where things get to be too much for them and they have a bad day so the vent

Personally as a white woman

I did not understand racism and denied it's existence for a long time and got frustrated on tumblr when my gf posted an angry post about white people (she is black)

After I got me fumes out, we discussed it

Turns out people daily threaten and yell the N word at her, and throw glass bottles and other painful items at her

So that day she just hit her limit and vented

From that day one I put time into researching the matter and she helped me find calm educational blogs

To be honest, I became super angry when I started noticing these things in everyday life when I was newly exposed to it

But that's not what this forum is about, so if you want me to find some nice blogs I'll be more than happy to

They do get irritated being asked the same questions over and over again, so put them in faqs

And don't get me wrong!

I am all for expressing your interests!

make all the smut/gore you want!

just be courteous and respectful of others by doing what you can to ensure it is properly labeled and hidden so only people who want to see it, see it, and not people who don't

That is the only issue I have with some of it

Well it looks like I've been fortunate enough not to stray too far into "the bad part of town." Part of it may also be because I was a little late to the party- I didn't start looking up MLP stuff online until the beginning of 2014. EQD and this forum are some of the first things I found and have stuck with because there hasn't really been any nonsense. People here seem pretty normal/chill. The worst thing I've personally dealt with is someone on YouTube (I had a thread about it on here somewhere.)  It was about the Michael Morones incident. Click the little swoopy left arrow thingy at the upper right of the grey quote box below to go to the original thread

 

 

That's just part of it and I ended the discussion with him by indirectly telling him I hope he runs into a hurricane next time he's out sailing.

 

Anyway other than that I really haven't had many bad experiences. As for Tumblr, I only go there through links from EQD. I also unfortunately read Cupcakes, Rainbow Factory, and part of some Apple Massacre one- but it was too f***ed up to read.

 

As for the term Brony- I rarely use it online and don't use it offline. I think it's too loaded of a term, and besides, most people (at least people out of high school) offline don't know anything about MLP, let alone what the hell a Brony even is anyway.

:c

omg I got teary eyed from reading that!

Honestly I told my little bro to turn off comments if anyone starts talking shit on his videos because of jerks like that!

They are like a disease that plagues our lives :v

gross

But yeah I feel Tumblr is like any other site from reading these replies

Gross rude side, and the decent human beings side

just gotta know where to go and how to navigate to avoid em

On Facebook I had friends who posted nasty "get back to the kitchen/ go back to africa" like jokes... I decided one day to just unfriend them instead of avoiding facebook

By newsfeed looks so much nicer now!

No my apologise tumbler is though

I've been on it and there was only nudity drugs and cursing that I saw

Laughs so hard I spat on my screen

I can't breatthhhh

but yeh typically the going thing now apparently idk, I don't follow those, just hear about em

bones/dead things for their bones....
I'm serious >.>

I completely understand why you have an uneasy feeling about the term brony when you associate it with the things you mentioned. I do see a lot of bad behavior when I'm not careful about which sites I go to. And even when I'm on sites I consider for the most part safe, I sometimes see nasty attitudes.

bad attitudes are kinda everywhere tho sadly :/

But is good to practice pretending they don't exist and ignore them (idk why but not acknowledging someone for their poor behavior more of than not tends to be more effective they trying to talk back)

That's what it is. Otherkin has absolutely nothing to do with gender and sexuality, they're all completely separate identities.    

oh oh oh

probably would definitely be a spiderkin <3

I have always connected with them in and spiritual way

and understanding way

mostly for the "we are both denied by society" (for me being mogi mostly)

pluss still find it cute how spiders visit me when sitting outside

EDIT: hope i'm not making this sound like a joke

really have strongly felt spiders are my spirit animal for a while

No I meant the woman in your quote. And about Molestia and Murdershy: Yeah, EQD does have its share of creepy or violent things sometimes. But that's the internet for ya. Just gotta ignore it and move on I guess, and/or get used to it. x) I'm fine with Molestia and I don't remember ever seeing anything violent on EQD. Maybe I'm just used to it and haven't put any thought on it. *shrug*

possibly

Taking advantage of someone for pleasure is harmful and still not really accepted as a violent act (might be legally, but not so much socially)

So jokes about it is terrifying... I mean people legit get hurt physically/emotionally for life from it, so to put the into a cute little kids show is horrible. Should be setting an example to kid to not do these things instead of treating it like it's a normal, whatever thing to joke about...

sorry went off... just... really wish legitimately harmful subjects were not joked about like that since it tends to make them look like no big deal (murder is a different story since society already agrees that is a no)

I have trouble looking the other way in serious topics like that

But I don't blame ya

r*** gets treated as a joke/not serious thing unless it is a physical struggle :/

so it becomes more than the act that hurts the victim, it's all the victim blaming and victim jokes

I'm a little confused
I understood otherkin as more of a spiritual identity than like a mogi identity (lgbtqa+)

Like you spiritually feel/be like a dragon, but you can also be any gender/orientation along with it

Well the fandom started on 4chan so I can kind of see how the term doesn't only apply to nice people xD

Just say it pisses you off xD

that does explain a lot :/ 

but i don't get pissed just defensive feeling (in this case)
