I've usually just wished everyone a happy thanksgiving in /NMAiE/ to those who celebrate considering it's status as an US holiday and the fact that I am pretty sure over 50% of the lurkers and posters here are from elsewhere, but eh, I'll just append it down here to have an excuse to keep Nightmare Woona up a little longer. So...

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate or endure it! God bless you and have a general happy and safe time traveling. Hope everyone is enjoying turkey and eggnog

/endpone/ 1.5 Update and News Anon Board owner 12/04/2023 (Mon) 08:56 [Preview] No. 8910 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]

Minor changes and a few other things.

The update I have long teased is finally here. Not the biggest thing in the world but worthy of a announcement sticky.

NEWS:
Synchronized Rewatch Thread >>6985' is now launched for real. Details here: >>8889

Bunker: In the event of Endchan being wiped off the face of the earth, flee to here for now: https://8chan.moe/pone It is not a continuation of /endpone/ but a general bunker/secondary pony board held under friendly hooves. A more formal bunker maybe set up at some point later or organized post destruction depending on circumstances (that hopefully never will come or at least be at a point when we are better prepped).

The /chat/ thread is now cyclic: >>5562 The idea behind it to encourage more short form and casual discussion and a place to dump off topic posts nopony cares about too much. In reality, I am not sure much will change, but a worthy experiment. Higher effort random posts can still be posted to /NMAiE/, and to be honest, the board always can meander a bit in conversation.

The old NSFW no spoilers required on our NSFW thread: >>5560 has been revised. We have always been in practice more SFW than some boards around these parts and no one ever took advantage of the special exception for that thread. Plus, certain more extreme fetish content was not except from that anyway. TD;LR: normal chan spoiler rules now in place.

New banner has been added to the board, which wouldn't be worth mentioning if not for that if my recollection is correct, we haven't added one since 2019! I don't mind our banners being of a smaller number and a lot of them feel more special and carry a certain context, but certain things, like Seaponies, /go/, or the writefag thread probably warrant some representation. Here is my partial attempt to remedy one of those.

Anon Board owner 03/22/2020 (Sun) 00:57 [Preview] No. 5559 [Reply] [Last 50 Posts]

Welcome to /pone/! Or as we often call ourselves to differentiate from 8chan/8kun's /pone/ board, /endpone/. The pony board at the end of the known universe. This board is a bit different from most other pony boards on the internet and has generally composed of a tight knit group 2 to 3 core users. Though we welcome any old stragglers who come by. It can be a bit creepy so far out but our bat ponies and bridges can be pretty friendly once you get to know them. Maybe you can find a home here too?

Our rules: https://endchan.net/pone/rules.html

Somethings to keep in mind:
1 Follow the rules of Endchan. Don't do anything illegal.
2 This board has been in practice more SFW oriented, but NSFW has never been explicitly banned. Do to difference in taste and people's definitions of what counts as overly grotesque, a general spoiler rule has been put in place in all threads.
3 This board is not /mlp/, 8/pone, /mlpol/ or Ponychan. Not saying this board is the most unique or wonderful place in the world but a posting style and a limited culture has arisen that is distinct from those models and is arguably in sometimes in contrast. Expect sometimes long meandering discussions jumping randomly from topic to topic and experimental projects of various levels of merit. We also recognize that board culture is not finite and could easily evolve with what any new anon or two could bring something to the table that could alter things significantly. Just don't bring in a mentality of endless low quality threads and shitposting like glimmmmmer! to X is cucked. It would ruin the board and will not be tolerated.

Not Much Activity in /Endpone/

Still moving along edition.

Let's see what happens as we truly entered into the G5 era since last /NMAiE/. Will it be as chaotic as Pony Life era was or will it be mundane? Even if G5 can't quite capture the lightning in the bottle we still can continue on and be comfy respite at the very least.

Note: Slight change in format as a lot of the activity has concentrated on a handful of important threads, so a mix of new threads and threads that are old but are seeing the most "action" right now/important in some way or have news. A lot of new threads have been from random anons just curious about the place, those have not been furthered for obvious reasons .

Working on several posts. Just wanted to make an anniversary post here in /NMAiE/ just to note this event in this thread. Plus, I find this image funny that it has Mane 6, Princesses, + Cheerilee. Random choice to fill out the roster there (probably should be Spike) but I enjoy that randomness all the same.

Three way civil war, Princess Celestia with Twilight and Rarity. Princess Luna with Fluttershy and Pinkie PIe, and Cheerilee with Applejack and Rainbow Dash.

Who would win? My bet is on Princess Celestia just because of unicorn Twilight, but Luna has the higher combat potential of the princesses. Cheerilee would be some random usurper without magic or much support, so I don't know why Rainbow Dash or Applejack would side with her.

>>12414
>For her powers, I disagree, I think here these things would be more of gags in a season 1 context and not be definitively reality bending and more of a cartoon "gags".
My counterpoint is the scene where Rainbow Dash flees from Pinkie Pie into Applejack's barn: we see Pinkie Pie clearly keeping up with Rainbow Dash and we know Pinkie Pie is close behind because they don't have really any time to prepare for her being there, to come up with a better cover or ruse or such. I would posit that Pinkie's powers are actually meant to straddle the line between cartoon gag and legitimate in-universe ability, a manifestation of hammerspace powers as it were.
>Now keep in mind I do look at things from a similar lens where I try to figure out how cartoon gags work in canon and certainly latter canon did imply more to this.
Agreed - in this case I'd simply delineate between cases where Pinkie's actions have little direct tangible consequences, which can be safely disregarded as mere gags, and then cases like her managing to keep even pace with Rainbow Dash, where if we try and argue that Pinkie isn't LITERALLY that fast in the scene, the continuity of the scene all breaks down.
>...wow, has it been over a month since I was last in this thread? Goodness, though I know IRL stuff happens to both of us
I think this time of year always gets busy. It always has for me at least, ever since we moved, which happened in autumn of 2009. Not long before this show started, actually.
>>12419
>Plus or minus my partial temptation of Twilight Sparkle being Spike's mother somehow by creating life in the egg.
The examiners would have had to provide an unfertilized egg then, which if they had done so knowingly would mean they essentially want Twilight to become a parent just to pass an entrance exam? Wet nurses aren't biological mothers and yet there's the tradition of 'milk-kinship' between children reared by the same wet nurse, oftentimes related to neither child and neither child related to eachother - in a similar way Twilight, who was present to hatch the egg and potentially aided curing a late or dormant hatching condition in Spike's egg (which could partially explain his diminutive form compared to other dragons of similar age later on) is Spike's mother in a much more significant and important way than the question of Spike's genetic ancestry, although both remain important to Spike. I prefer Twilight being adoptive, personally. It allows the show to explore those sort of themes and issues. That's not to say that I dislike your idea, rather that on the whole I tend to prefer the show's approach.
> So, my thoughts on this is less chatGPT and more like running the leanest and somewhat stupid LLM that I can get on the best CPU I have as a glorified spell checker that would catch obvious grammatical mistakes but not change whole sentences
Perhaps, and I'll admit I find egregious grammar and spelling mistakes hard to swallow when reading something, but by that same token there's a very similar quality to AI-written stuff, an instant sense that I'm reading something written by a marketing department that feels at least as 'off' as something with awful spelling and grammar. If one were to use chatgpt for this purpose I'd make sure to prompt it to make minimal changes, and to split changes into mere suggestions that it lists in a bullet point for you to then apply yourself, and then actual changes it applies to the text that you provide it.

100% agree.

Depending on how one takes Call of the Cutie:>>11188 Maybe glue is completely required and no magic can do? A potential avenue for camouflage is something like the Don't-Notice-Me-Field one of the concepts I really liked from the comics. Now I've jumped too far in the past and ahead, lol.

> I think it makes pony villains particularly interesting in the show, since they're both equals for the abilities of our main cast and are inherently interesting in terms of exploring how villains can emerge even from a utopian society like Equestria.
An interesting lens that some characters fit comically perfect in (to the point of somewhat stupid, sorry Dolores our bridge of the board.) Nightmare Moon too, some don't fit as well but that is... bleh, a half formed point exists in my head, I want to get back to this later.

>>12429
>positive affirmations rather than advice that can sound like rulegiving: don't assume the worst of your friends and overthink things!
I think in some cases that is taken too far. Overcompensation for shows talking down to us.

>However, it does helpfully clarify things by stating that a *good* friend will always have your best interests at heart, which I think can be true, when there's a particularly strong basis of mutual trust.
This is why I am not sure it's just me, looking at this wrong, as an adult. When push comes to shove I don't think this would've even a minor negative impact on anyone even if taken slightly wrong. It wouldn't be solely at fault for a child in a situation being hurt if a friend was bullying/abusive to them. And if taken like you describe here, it has just as high a chance to help. (A real friend wouldn't treat me like this).

Okay, HOPEFULLY, I'll get my review out next week. I think I will but it depends on how much effort I want to put in. This is the final to Season 1 comfiness and I won't rush /comfy/ regardless of what life throws at me. Thinking I may aim to have the next season thread posted on New Years Day, BUT, with a hiatus/no expectation for us to jump in reviewing depending on life status for us. So it would be a mostly empty thread. What say you? ...and considering this thread is your idea, if you wanted to take the lead and post, whether new years or later, I would welcome in!

>very similar quality to AI-written stuff, an instant sense that I'm reading something written by a marketing department that feels at least as 'off' as something with awful spelling and grammar.
It is at the very least the new language of insincerity. I personally fear people offloading too much of there cogitative functions to it and it causing the ability to have a real conversation like this to be difficult. Think what cellphones did to everybody. I don't want to blindly join the anti-AI crowd (even if I count myself a skeptic) or be a doomer though. Nor sully a fun conversation with slightly apocalyptic semi-political musings, lol.

>I'd make sure to prompt it to make minimal changes, and to split changes into mere suggestions that it lists in a bullet point for you to then apply yourself, and then actual changes it applies to the text that you provide it.
I was thinking of a local LLM and having it point out and tell me mistakes one paragraph at a time. Right now I am stuck using a couple of Chromebooks but when I either get my laptop fix or my plan B assembled I'll see what sort of small thing I can run on there.

As I said, not super interesting, but odd. I was checking on that domain in late 2022/early 2023, It had been online at one point earlier but when in the insistence picture here friendshipismagic.org leads to a non-configured/broken site with a folder titled "hazbin". Clicking around (I don't recall the details) I found it both listed as Hazbin under the freindshipismagic.org domain and was redirected to a hazbinhotel.org. My speculation is that the owner was toying with starting a fan forum for Hazbin Hotel and abandoned. I found the Hazbin Hotel domain archived, but the site is just in the same state pictured above:
https://web.archive.org/web/20200115181816/http://hazbinhotel.org/
Or just the default Apache server page in Ubuntu:
https://web.archive.org/web/20211204091403/http://hazbinhotel.org/
All other entries are either 404 or just domain resister people.

I am going to look through my archives (scattered as they may be) and other places and see if I can find anything else relating to the site.

I don't think we have a thread dedicated to horror. Closest I guess would be /night/ and dormant pony thread. More than welcome to make one if you wish (though the imagedump thread also may fit that purpose).

>Though I recall BridgeFag not liking lips on ponies, but RaRaRa would wear makeup for occasions, including "occasions" like an evening with a coltfriend.
A lot of attempts anthropomorphize (or sexualize for that matter) just have an uncanny valley for me. Don't know why it is so strong. Some of is distaste but there is something else there. Not always consistent either. Still, my taste is not any rule and you may post your freakishly lipped horses freely.

Not to derail, but this is such an amazing image and I really love it. I guess it could be as simple as 'combining my two favorite things', but the details are just fantastic. For instance, Celestia's cutie mark as the symbol on the sail instead of the wind crest from the game: excellent. And from the upturned prow on the left and the rocky cliff-face on the right, I can also tell that this is right outside the Forsaken Fortress - when you sail there with the King of Red Lions in the game, iirc you arrive during the night, so this has to be sailing out of the Forsaken Fortress after that (you'd have to go back and then sail out because Valoo and the Rito save you and fly you out from Ganondorf's tower (a repurposed aft-end of a ship which I always liked to think was the back half of the ship that the prow sticking up out of the water that I mentioned earlier belonged to), but it could be structured differently in this 'version' of the story, or be around the endgame when you can teleport back to the surface from within Ganon's tower down beneath the waves in Hyrule, and it takes you to the Forsaken Fortress - either way it's a comfily pivotal moment in the game that's being alluded to!) which all comes together to imbue the image with a lot of quite specific nostalgia. It almost makes me wish for a more nautically-themed G6!

I respect little details like this as well. It is fun to convert elements (say a cutie mark) into another motiff or make them fit smoothly in something like that.

I am going to say something funny: I have never played The Wind Waker. I have some memory seeing it as a kid on a Gamecube or something during a family visit but I have never played it and it's art style was and still is slightly offputting...

...but I also think these more wonky and cartoonish proportions have grown on me quite a lot!!! Pics related all from the artist dalapony and I like most of them, some of them I adore. I guess I have gone through in miniature what the repuation of that game went through as whole. (a albeit, I never hated Toon Link, I just had a slight "that looks weird" disinterest). Here:
https://twibooru.org/search?q=artist%3Adalapony%2C+the+legend+of+zelda%3A+the+wind+waker
Considering my talk of what I find offputting in ponies in the other thread, lol, me finding some of these wonky ones fun is quite comical. I might make a mini essay or something on it later.

It translates very well also, as in this specific instance, the King of Red Lions (I'll try and spoiler this) was formerly King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule, the last King of Hyrule before it sank beneath the waves, and as King he used the Wind Waker to control the winds, so if he was a pony it would be most appropriate for his cutie mark to be wind-related - and the sail in the game has a wind crest on it. Of course, the sail is bought from an Eskimo, so it's only related by chance, but nonetheless it fits.
>I have some memory seeing it as a kid on a Gamecube or something during a family visit but I have never played it and it's art style was and still is slightly offputting...
Unfortunately with Windwaker, more than anything else in the world really, I'm totally unable to look at it with an objective eye: it was my first real gaming experience. Technically I played the PC demo for Lego Star Wars first, but then Dad bought a Gamecube from a friend along with some games. Our copy of Windwaker came with the Master Quest disk, so I guess Dad's friend must have pre-ordered Windwaker. So I did play Ocarina of Time too, but it didn't ever grab me like Windwaker did, I preferred to just watch my Dad play OoT. My favorite feature of the Master Quest disk was the trailers - the Windwaker trailer on it was and still is one of my favorite things ever:
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Blk0fk4Clvc [Embed]
In my mind this trailer was what introduced me to the game and made me really get into it - but there's no actual way for me to know if that's the case or not! All the memories are very blurry because I would have been four years old. Windwaker was my introduction to videogames, to fantasy as a genre, to a passion about history and sailing, and much more besides. I discussed back in the Season 9 discussion thread, years ago when the show ended, how I related to Twilight moving away from Ponyville and feeling upset about it because when I was nine years old, we moved, and I've still never really gotten over it. Our new house never, and still doesn't, feel like home, and neither does the apartment I've moved out into. I've been back to the village where I grew up, and of course, it's changed, it's no longer home either. Ironically enough, Windwaker itself is about this very theme. Ganondorf seeks to use the Triforce to unflood Hyrule, to bring it back. In the ending monologue, the King of Red Lions compares himself to Ganondorf, in terms of how neither of them could let go of Hyrule - but he chooses to destroy Hyrule and send Link and Tetra away to found their own land, a new land. So, home is not there if I go back. Nowhere on Earth feels like home. But when I play Windwaker, it feels like home. So, that's the game for me: it's the one and only home that I can actually go back to.
>I guess I have gone through in miniature what the repuation of that game went through as whole.
A few years later Dad got Twilight Princess, and that was his favorite Zelda. It might be my predisposition, but it could just as easily be the fact that Windwaker had a profound impact on who I am in general, but I find Twilight Princess depressing and dull, generally speaking. I don't think it's bad, but Hyrule in that game is not a place I'm all that interested in exploring, I don't like the people that inhabit it and I'm not motivated to save them. The Ooca city in that game is really the one part I like, and unlike the Hylians I actually like the Ooca so I want to help them. And fighting a dragon is always cool, of course. That's not to say it's a bad game, but that kind of 'look how grim and how dark I am' approach has remained a strong dislike of mine my whole life, and I first recall really feeling it towards Twilight Princess.

Absolutely!

Setting up this thread just in case someone mentions us or someone stumbles here via googling.

>what happened to 4chan?
It was attacked, ostensibly by the imageboard soyjak.party, otherwise know as the sharty. A board that was born out of /qa/ (the hacker could've just used the site as a dumping ground/cover to receive any flak though). The attack looks pretty extensive, with mods and janitor emails,the secret janitor board and the entire site source code being leaked.

>what is this place?
Endchan's resident pony community. We are a small board with own culture of sorts and way of things. If you are coming from /mlp/, we might be too sincere, heterodox, and occasionally bloggpostery for your liking. Though if you decide to stick around, read:>>5559

>is this a continuation of 8chan's /pone/?
No, but we are blood relatives and do have some contentions to them. Not quite brothers, more like cousins.

>Is there anything else?
Dolores is best bridge.

The most active bunker seems to be /nhnb/ (https://nhnb.org/fim/) Though I will point out to any 8chan/pone stragglers, that 8kun/pone/ (8kun.top/pone/) is still being guarded by an active board owner in the event y'all decide to return for a /pone/ revival attempt.

26 posts and 26 images omitted.

Now unpinning from the top of the board. This can change in an instant though. Debating if I want to make a better OP being the only reason why I would make a new thread.

8Kun no longer has a DNS entry, and the .onion URL doesnt load either.
And I guess with few enough users, 8ch is gone too.

Soooo....
Hug your pony, and post to your board

completely unrelated, but two separate boards had equines as their most recent image.
Ponies on the frontpage! (it's cheating, but I'm still taking it)

It's only partly cheating depending on how broadly you define our interests in horses.

Wait, 8kun is offline?
>Checks
Seems to be.

I need to put a tribute or something up if this is formal death.
