Comic: Octavia Is Freakin Adorable: Part Four!

Part I: Click for Full Size
Part II: Click for Full Size

UPDATE: Click past the break for part three!

I know we just did Drawfriend, but I couldn't resist putting this two three-part comic by Dreatos up.

I can't explain it. Octavia is just the most adorable thing in the world sometimes. I dunno what it is about her. Maybe her color scheme is what's appealing. It's certainly not a canon personality I'm attached to, because as far as we know she doesn't have any. It's all stuff you guys have made up. That must be it. You guys are really good at taking these background ponies with no story to them outside what we see them do in the show and making these extremely likable characters out of them. I love you, Octav- I mean, uh, you guys.

There's a second bonus Luna comic after the break, too. Personally I'm just here for the Octavia. Look at those adorable purple eyes. I want to hug her and take her home with me.

Don't tell Rarity.

This comic is so underwhelming compared to the Octavia ones!

The Octavia one was amazing. I loved how much it conveyed without a single spoken word.

Lol at Regular show

BlankFlankBrony said...

That Octavia... I like the singing!

Roman500 said...

Well, I think the only appropriate response for the first comic is D'aaawwww.

Xiagu said...

D'aww, I've never understood why ponies liked Octavia...

...until now. d'aaaaaawwww she's so tiny compared to the bass :D

S.Aura Knight said...

That first comic screams Peanuts at me. The style, and the gags, plus how there was no dialogue. It's just entirely Peanuts with Octavia.

The second comic. That second comic. I don't know if I should feel bad for not getting the joke, or if I should just admire it for what it is.

Dawwwwww

Lol I love that episode of regular show

Shellsh0cker said...

I'm also incredibly impressed by how well--and the relative consistency with which--this fandom has characterized the background ponies. Derpy Hooves in the most visible example, but I've managed to form pretty clear pictures in my head of Vinyl, Lyra, Octavia, Colgate . . .

I freaking love this fandom.

Cereal, I'm just shocked. Octavia? Cereal, why?

D. Shadows said...

I have no idea what they are expecting of Little Octave, it takes being a at least a teenager to play that instrument. (With a bigger body to go with it)

Circumstance has once again gotten the better of Luna, but at least their's a chocolate river.

I haven't d'awwww'd so hard in my life until the Octavia comic. That Pinkie eating her tail picture also comes close.

Fallin' Winter said...

Confound this community, it makes me want waaaay more waifus then is allowed. >=(

Anonymous said...

Whenever I read a fic or see a comic like this with Octavia, it just hits so close to home for some reason.

Doesn't help that my name is freaking Octavio and classical music has secretly been my favorite genre for FOREVER...

It almost feels like self-insertion :/

Shadowdemon137 said...

To Octavia: "Aww, she's so precious!"

To Luna: AHAHAHAHAHAHA. That's pretty good.

Dave Mustang (AKA the clophater) said...

One thing I don't like about the fandom is how they take background characters with no intended personality, and somehow make them popular. It just bugs me a bit.

And the only thing I know about Regular show is this

These comics. I love them all. :D

Corey W. Williams said...

Octavia is the best pony.

Of course I'm kinda biased since I'm writing a fic with her in it. She is pretty fun to write for and develop. She's fun to write as a basically sweet person who just ... kind of has an attitude when she has to put up with what she feels is stupid, heh.

But yeah, I thought these comics were adorable. Filly Octavia is the best.

ZMorris said...

That's the most amazing thing ever.

BronyMike said...

Um, in part 1 of this the dude says in the description that it's going to be as 12-parter, and he also says it's not the last of the series in part 2's description. Is this post going to be updated as the comic does or what?

Anonymous said...

OOOooohh, Rarity, Cereal is cheating on you!

Haha where is your God now?

EonMaster said...

Loving the Octavia comics. I do wonder how a Filly is expected to play something that huge and be decent at it.

The use of pictures for dialogue made it even better.

FoxOfWar said...

...that's it, now I *need* to draw Octavia. Confound these ponies, they make me want to draw more of them than I have time or energy to do, day after day!

Seriously, lil' Octavia has to be the cutest thing. Anywhere, ever.

The second half of the first comic. Hnnngh~

Octavia confirmed for the Cutie Mark Clash.

Octavia comic: Okay, I'm now an Octavia fan. I wasn't before, but I am now. So...cute...

Luna comic: Wait, I thought Rigby had to see whatever he was sending to the moon for it to... you know what, forget it. It's funny, and that's all that matters.

Octavia seems especially popular lately, not that I mind in the slightest! It never ceases to amaze me how well these background characters are characterized. We got bronies churning out super duper awesome nifty stories ALL THE TIME.

But I digress... the first two are definitely HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

Tylendal said...

Octavia. She looks so disgruntled holding that bow. :D

Fallin' Winter said...

Well I still believe it's a bit of a hell in heaven situation in Equestria. I feel sorry for the poor stallion who has to pick. There's a whole lot of great fish in that sea, but with that many how hard would it be to pick one. I mean look at our blog pony's, they have a tendency to change at the drop of a bit.

Derpy Hooves said...

Oh my goodness, Octavia is simply the most adorable thing EVER in those two comics. Might I even dare say she... >.> <.< ... beats out Fluttershy's cuteness in them? *ducks*

KevinSano said...

@S.Aura Knight

I can just hear snoopy's voice coming out of Octavia complaining about the lack of sheet music.

Aoshi Stark said...

I got diabetes reading the last comic. All three together, SUPER CUTE!

Derpy Hooves said...

Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh! /Rainbow Dash

There is simply too much cuteness squeezed into this comic. She's so sad in that one panel too, breaks my heart. I'd give her the biggest hug. Also, I laughed at Octavia with derp eyes. 6_9 <3

Anonymous said...

Last week I had blood drawn to see if I had diabetes. If I didn't then, I certainly do now.

Octavia is golden in this comic.

Fallin' Winter said...

OH MAH CELESTIA! I made a squeaking noise at the sad panel near the bottom of the third comic when she broke the sting and was yelled at. I wanted to squee, but my voicej just couldn't go high enough to make the sound...

Kjh242 said...

what's with the third (and most D'AWWW-abetes) being hosted on e621 (mostly explicit imgboard)?

Oh god, that octavia is so damn cute in the last comic.
So cute.

This Octavia series is so adorable, it should be illegal.

Thank Celestia it's not.

Doomwad765 said...

Before I found this comic, there was only one comic I'd d'awwed at, and that was the little one where Twilight is feeding baby food to a baby Spike. Now there is this one, which went beyond d'aww, and made me do this:

"Aww... Ahahawwwwwww. DAAAAhaaaaaaahahahawwwwww. D'ooooooh, so cu-hahahahahah!"

Wait, didn't you personally take part in some of Octavia's characterization? I don't recall Octavia ever not loving her double bass before Changing Octaves.

Jeremy said...

@Dave Mustang (AKA the clophater)

Odd, that's precisely what I like about the fandom. But to each his own I suppose.

In my opinion the Regular Show tries too hard. It has few funny moments, but I could never really get into it.

Candystripe said...

What the cute...!?!? Honestly. Too adorable. Octavia has won me over already with her awesome design and super-cuteness.

I've always been a big lover of 'background'/secondary/tertiary characters. So much potential in them. I love the "complete world" feeling of this show--as though it's really all going on while we're watching the exploits of whichever characters we happen to observe in any given episode...and literally everypony has an interesting life and story in his/her own right, and is worth pondering and finding out about!

Shouldn't this go under "Comic"? Seems kind of pointless to have a "Comic" and "Media" section, otherwise.

Star Winged Brit said...

I personally love silent protagonists (i.e. Link or Samus Aran(exept other m)) and a story told mostly or purely through actions, I personally think that they can work very well (depending on the context) and in some cases improve the story if they fit the context. Octavia's body language and expressions are just perfect in these comics. Hats off to the creator.

Shadow Dragon said...

The last panel of comic IV is great. Octavia looks like she's threatening to kill the bass/cello (I can't tell which that is suppose to be).

i_love_lamps said...

those comics made octavia my new fav xD

Buster said...

As background characters go, aside from Ditzy Doo, I'd say Octavia has the largest and greatest following.

I'm pround to say I'm part o' that too. :D

Daffodil said...

@Dave Mustang, the cynical Brony

There's a small difference between an OC and a background pony. Really. The difference is very small. But it's there.

'Sides, saying the comics "suck" is a bit immature, no? It might not be your taste, but that's far from sucking.

*Grin* And thus I take it that was the last page of the Octavia comic. You, sir, are awesome and that comic Is ridiculously adorable and hilarious.

Erroneous said...

The Octavia comic sort of reminds me of those really old charlie brown comics, back when Linus was so young he couldn't talk, (made in the late 50's early 60's) and would always have many humorous situations, built by repetition, movement and expression. This brings me back to that. :)

Navy Pheonix said...

I'm no string expert, but why is the replaced string a brighter color than the broken one and the others?

Bosstone said...

@Baree

Actually no, the dude's planned 12 comics.

12 comics of frikkin' adorable Octavia. I can dig it.

Anonymous said...

@Navy Pheonix

Likely an artistic choice so that the new string stands out more to the viewers. It could also be a different brand, I suppose.

I've grown to quite like Octavia.

Also, I couldn't understand why no one had made the obvious Regular Show joke yet. Maybe I just wasn't looking hard enough, but at least there's one now.

@Navy Pheonix

New strings on instruments are more shiny and brighter, as they haven't been dulled down from finger sweat and general gank.
