Those moments where I discover amazing news for travel or cons, but I die on the inside because I realize can't afford it. Just recently, there's going to be 3 different types of cons that sound like so much to go to and they're all 20 minutes to 40 minutes away.

Bronycon 2013 was in Baltimore, Maryland, which is a mere 20 minute drive from my house. I thought it was a great thing and I wanted to go so badly, but my wallet disagrees. It hurts...

Awww, I miss maryland

I think my main pet peeve about OCs are those that are named based off their talent. Which doesn't make sense, since ponies don't get their talent the minute they're born.

well...Sweet brew's cutie mark is in making tea...Only reason I justify it though it because his Mom was VERY 'Bray'tish and he loved tea sense the day he had it, which he was like...3...maybe less...and I doubt he'd get his cutiemark at THAT age...

Also, all of this is based off of the REAL me, So I thought it makes more sense, because I can't argue with the world seeing as it happened... except the part about a tattoo appearing on my rump.

"I'm just gonna butter up this pan with the last bit of stick butter an-"

And then I burned my fingers and had to fish out the quickly melting butter with a knife.


Not the first time I burn myself cooking. I still got a burn on the side of my hand from when I was cleaned up and brushed the pan when it was hot still the wrong way.

A few months ago I was making tea and I burnt my hoof! I use extra hot boiling water for my tea so it really hurt!
I had to ware a bandage for a few days and put aloe oil on it 4 times a day!

I've burned myself on soldering irons before and I don't think I've had to go that far.

I'm betting you got a low pain tolerance then.

Gee thanks...

Aww thank you! To be honest a lot of my OC's don't really have backstories, they're mostly just ponysonas.

Ponysona's don't really need a back story seeing as their's is usually yours, also most OC's don't need back stories ether.

Once again, Octavia, Lyra, BonBon(Technically Sweetie drops but Bon Bon sounds cuter ) none of them have a back story! but they're still loved wonderful characters.
Adding TO MUCH to a pony can make them too complex, one thing I like about your OC's Mizuki is that they're simple, like the show!

"an artist work is not finished when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away" is a good quote, I always saw this as "Don't try to spakle it up with doohickys and thingamajigs, only use the BEST parts to it"

A Pizza tastes good if it has fresh cheese, good ripe tomatoes, and fluffy fresh bread.
but when you start adding gross tasting but pretty looking stuff it may LOOK nice, but it'll taste like a baked bad

Wow, I'v been rambling here! all in all I'm not saying Complex is bad, just TO complex can get over board.

But I your OCs because they're pleasingly simple like the show!

As much as I rag on really cruddy, unoriginal OC designs, I still think all OC's are perfectly valid.
They can be horribly unoriginal, entirely self-indulgent and total self-insert wish-fulfillment fantasies, but at the very least you're still doing something creative. So long as people are having fun with it, I honestly don't mind (Mary-sue's and all!)

Why when I was a youngin', I used to draw romantic pictures of myself and my favorite anime character as a couple
....granted, I wasn't even that young...I....I was still doing that stuff at like...age 17...
But I'm 25 now, so...so it was totally a long time ago!! YEAH!!

Also Batman is a total gary-stu, but nobody cares 'cause it's perfectly normal for men to have fantasies about being ultra-cool, dark & broody billionaire playboys :U

I personally think your OC's were great, they fit in the show cannon quite well!
I don't think an OC can be 'too boring' because some of the shows most loved ponies like...

Octavia: Plays a cello
Lyra: Plays a harp
Bon Bon: (Not confirmed) makes candies...

Those all could seem 'boring' but MLP isn't about FLASHY and WOW struff, besides season finals most episodes are rather calm, so an OC can't be 'boring' in my book.

And in DC's defense Suparmane-I mean SuparMan is THE FIRST SUPER HERO EVER! so he deserves the 'OverPoweredness'.

How about no.

How pleasant of you.

I try.
Anyway the name that sticks is the one that is liked by most and from a place that most visit. Plus this is not a background pony, this is an OC and only creators give the names for their OC. She does not have official name so everyone refers to her as Button's Mom.

P.S. If you read Jan's mod blog you can see he states that she already has a name but it not revealed.

'Twould have been a good idea to mention that instead of saying 'no' and now much else...

So you're saying that we knew in advance that Twilight had a brother who was going to marry an alicorn princess and it wasn't just leaked?  And Lauren had intended it?

She's only 1 more Alicorn, and Hasbro actually made a book series of an epic adventure of how she became an Alicorn.
Saying that there's 1 more Alicorn doesn't prove that they're a common race, and we're staying a bit off topic here so I'll stop here...

953

Pony Off-Topic Archive / Re: What makes a poor OC? Post your thoughts here!

2014 Apr 29, 01:53:06

She may have but anything that isn't in the show can be changed , no matter what she wanted or intended. That includes more alicorns.

There has been no proof of more alicorns so I'm going to assume they're still going by Lauren's ideas, unless they changed it and told nopony.




A thing I reeaalllyyy dislike is people that make their OC's have rainbow in their mane, it just seems to lack imagination, like they just stole it from Rainbow Dash!

Also when they give their OC's a cutiemark when the race doesn't have them, Griffons, Donkeys, Dragons, Even horses(we saw the ones from saddle Arabia in the episode with parasprites I beleave) don't have cutiemarks!
I think Zebra's can have them, because Zekora has something similar...

The reason a lot of ponies don't like Alicorn OC's is not because they're 'OP' or 'Mary Sues', it's usually because all those alicorn OC's are making Alicorns look like a common day thing, Lauren Faust Didn't want Cadace to be an Alicorn because she said it'd make them look too common.

Well Lauren doesn't have anything to do with the show for 2 seasons now. What she intended or wanted is irrelevant now.

she still created the world, and as far as we've seen there have been no changes, adding to it? yes, but no changes.

"Who's Tender Care?"

"You don't know TENDER CARE?! She's buttons mom!"

Another topic, disliking alicorn OCs. Why am I not surprised?

Overpowerd, extreme saturated colours (pure black,white, neon blue etc.), illogical family relation with characters from the show (though logical non-family is ok), dark and back background, not having fears or weaknesses, casual finding of powerful and unique items that have only benefits to the character.

The reason a lot of ponies don't like Alicorn OC's is not because they're 'OP' or 'Mary Sues', it's usually because all those alicorn OC's are making Alicorns look like a common day thing, Lauren Faust Didn't want Cadace to be an Alicorn because she said it'd make them look too common.

Time limits! Time limits!!
TIME LIMITS
TIME LIMITS!!!!
TIME. LIMITS.
TIIIIIIIIIME. LIMIIIIIIIIIIIITS!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Flips every game that has a time limit sequence*
Especially when the time limit is just the icing on the difficulty cake! Like, really? Really? Did you really need to add a time limit there? Was that really necessary? Putting a time limit on top of trying to puzzle my way through everything while keeping a meter from being filled or depleted and avoiding being attacked by enemies or knocked out by falling objects or something?!! Did you really, really need to add a time limit to all of that?!!

I totally agree! if it's like ONE in a single spot I'm okay with it, like if in LoZ you were in a room with water filling up I'd be fine with that because

1: it makes SENSE why you have a time limit
2: it's a one time thing.

What I HATE HATE HAAATE like Chishio does is when it makes NO SENSE!
Like (Not to be mean) when EVER LEVEL of a game has a time limit I basically will never play it, usually because the game has no explanation or has a poor one like "You're character will get tired"...Tired? in 5 minutes?! wooow...

Errr, not to be mean or anything, but shouldn't you let RARITY choose who she marries?
I'm sorry if I offended you, I mean no hurtfulness.

Well, that's one thing. One thing that don't go well are OCs that are directly related to main characters. It kind of makes them unable to be canon, or not very realistic in terms of the MLP universe, since they're not shown in the show.

And speaking of realism, there's the thing about alicorns. So far, we've only seen four alicorn characters in the show, along with a few characters that were probably animation errors. But the point is that they're very rare and do not seem to be born naturally - They transform from one race into ab alicorn, like what happened to Twilight. Also, a pegasus and a unicorn does not make an alicorn. There is a Pony Science thread somewhere that explains why, but it's really complicated.

Basically, these kinds of OCs aren't neccessarily liked by the general community, but it's your OC, so it's up to you, really.

Well, I agree on all of these, but I was just afraid that I'd sound nit picky seeing as I basically said this to a few other OC's already...

(P.S. Does Lauren Fausts OC count as Cannon seeing as she made the show? if so that'd be 5 Alicorns...)

Alicorns.
Hybrid species.
Extracanon powers.
Blood relative to a canon character.


Or all of the above at the same time. Like an alicorn dragon pony who is Rainbow Dash's brother.

  I agree
