I want a double decker couch! I don't think it's a stupid idea! I think it's cool!

Actually...I had that idea about 6 years ago... so for me that was REALLY funny to see them saying that stuff! good thing I didn't try to market the idea...all the legos would have laughed at me!

Well, I'm not meaning to point any hooves at anypony but I know....someone....who uses Google translate (I think) and he makes about as much sense as a polar parka in the dessert...

But yes....we do have Google translate for a reason...

but I was told that it's against a rule that you can't speak any other language than english... Is that true?

Yes, I beleave it is, Our Moderators only speak English and they don't have the room to get new ones to speak each and every language. If we did it JUST for the Russians then the Spanish, or German, or something would want us to get mods for them next! Also, I do think it'd be annoying for ALL of us to have 3 other languages flying by...

Errr, not to be mean or anything, but shouldn't you let RARITY choose who she marries?

I'm aware that boys think gross stuff is funny

Is that a stereotype? Because if it is, it's not really a good one.

Chishio's not stereotyping anypony, I'v never seen a girl who likes that kind of humor, but I HAVE seen plenty of boys, she/he's not saying at appeals to ALL boys, just some.

Yes it's my headcannon, that's why saying something like "NO BLASTED ALICORNS!!!" only because it doesn't match up with your version of Equestria is not good (In my opinion). You're pretty much imposing your headcannon over others.

He had no intentions of forcing his head cannon on others, as we can see his apology post which I dare say if longer then all the others posts put together!

Well now we're entering your own headcannon and that's different from official cannon.

well from what you saying, isn't yours just head cannon?(I mean NO disrespect when saying that.) I'm basing my facts not on head cannon but on facts from the show, every Alicorn we'v seen got transformed into one and is now royalty. yet Griffins, Zebra's and such are not royalty.

You reeeaaally made this well, the words, the layout, the setup, everything is wonderful!

Your art is also wonderful! I'll love to see the rest of this once you update it.

[EDIT]: I just realized, some of your link thingies aren't working or something I think.

What about dragon ponies?

Dragon ponies were made up by the fandom, if you're going just for a fun character then it can be done well, but it couldn't be a 'possable cannon' character type if you know what I mean!

One thing that annoys ME is STUPID CARTOONS!

SO many modern cartoons are just random stupidity where the 'funniest' joke is just them screaming!
How on CELESTIAS green equestria is screaming funny!? (I'm looking at you Mordecai >.> )

It almost offends me how they patronize these kids now adays! I mean MLP has inelegance to it! MLP encourages friendship and I dare say made my 500% of a better pony, maybe more. while these other shows I see just make me think "Are their arms spaghetti or something?"

If I offended anypony with what I said I had NO mean intentions... so I AM sorry if I offended you, seeing as it's kinda obvious what shows I'm thinking of...But I'm not trying to bash the shows...

But all of your 'alicorns are meant to be great' thing is gonna go out of the window if the fluttershy alicorn turns out to be true.

I see what you're saying, but in my views Alicorns are so rare that the 4 we'v seen might be 80% or maybe even ALL the alicorns that ever existed...that's just the way I see it. So when we ony have 4 or 5 Alicorns that ever existed then it'd make SENSE that they're all super powerful and stuff.

I also always though (And I'm pretty sure they mentioned this, but not 100% sure.) that Princess Celestia and Luna were Unicorns that got their cutie marks by raising the sun and moon, and that this is also the great act that turned them into an Alicorn.

As I said, this is just the way I see it, and it makes the most sense to me so I'll naturally go with this theory. I can understand your point of view though!

I see your rather generalized, non-contextual criticisms of OC traits, and raise you Velvet Remedy:

Or Ice Pack...

I'd post what actually makes him a fun character, but I doubt the moderation would take kindly.

And I might as well post Danganya while I'm on Eyespack

Or Rampage

And maybe in effect Red Eye.

You say OCs should follow a certain design set, or have their characters built to compliment the world. But really, the world can be rebuilt to compliment whatever intended story, whether it's for a particular original character or not. MLP is malleable like that.

As well, "Common sense" could really be the only guideline to invoke in OC creation. It doesn't go any further than that. And the exceptions as you mentioned - and as I've gone through to dig up - really kind of prove that you can't have a universal OC guidelines, so why even bother? You can't enforce, or even pretend to preach, standardization over it.
[/quote][/spoiler] First of all Dream bolt said "I'm sorry if I have offended you" so you could cut him a little slack.
and second of all, all those OCs you just linked are OCs, not cannon, so it proves nothing.

Saying his comments are "generalized, non-contextual criticisms" is rather critical in itself.

I want to note the the reasons for alicorns you pointed out are for so called 'artificial' alicorns. Sombra as far as we know never wanted to be an alicorn and Starswirl didn't prove he was worthy enough.
There are still unknowns regarding 'natural' alicorns or who were born that way since I personally do not believe that there's a race that is entirely artificially made. It's also to make good alicorn OCs, you just need to make them not OP and have somewhat reason you've chose to make them an alicorn (for example I advise making them an alicorn if their talent is gaming).

I understand what you mean, but I don't recall any references to 'natural' alicorns.
I would disagree with giving them a simple talent as all Alicorns we'v seen have PRE-tty awesome talents!
I mean Raising the Sun or Moon,
Creating love from magic,
Using a spell to change someponys destiny.
All of those are quite big! I think if somepony's an Alicorn he should have a big great talent.

My day off, I had intended on relaxing a bit getting some work done but nope phone call
"Ryo could you come in please we need to discuss about the tills"

Fine drive over
" oh don't worry we sorted it oh but while your here can you cover a lunch shift"

The only reason I did not say no is because I know the person I would be covering for would have gone without had I not and she has helped me in the past so I agreed

A friend of mine worked at a funeral home. (Is it okay to say all this here?) Her Boss would call her at any time he needed help, at DAY time he had all the help he needed, but not night time...He'd get her up at any time from 11PM - 9AM Randomly.

So this isn't a thing that annoys me but more a thing that annoyed her...but still..she doesn't use this site so might as well post this for her!

Becoming an alicorn is not a common occurrence in Equestria, and so far as we know only come into being when a pony perform some epic act, like making new magic, so if you make your OC an alicorn, it's kind of like screaming out, "LOOK AT ME! I'M SPECIAL!". Believe me, it just kind of looks rather... Trixie-like.

I'd also like to add when Dream Bolt says they have to preform some epic act he means EPIC, Star Swirl the bearded himself never became an alicorn, King Sombra didn't ether and HE became so powerful he made the whole Crystal Empire vanish out of thin air for 1,000 years!(I beleave it was 1,000).

Hmmm...

Well he's cute and all but seems a little out of place...
I mean the yin and yan doesn't seem like a cutiemark you'd see in the show and Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Twilight have been the only Alicorns we ever have seem and/or heard of. I mean King Sombra himself with ALL his power never became an alicorn, neither did StarSwirl.

I'm not trying to offend you, so if I did then I apologize.

Alrighty this is getting a bit off topic people, try to stay away from discussions like this because they only lead to fights and end up getting the post being locked. so lets change the subject back to the OCs.
