Comics: Open Minded/Best Sock Ever


Look everypony, comic time! Today's offerings are all about love. So much love. More love than you can stuff inside an appendix. Above is a lovely little number by teygrim, explaining to us why TwiLuna is the only proper ship, and also proselytizing about the always perfect and never at all wrong process of shotgun weddings. Of a sort. You'll see. And then below, a treatise from Maquark on why the best socks are Dinky's socks socks made with love by your momma.Which is totally true, by the way. Yay, sockies!

Overprotective Celestia ftw

LoLZorZs said...

WTF is up with the first one o_O?

Anonymous said...

I'm getting too much freaking dawness and drama shit, where's the action? God damnit i hope season 2 doesn't get all clicheic with shitty discussions anime styled...

KShrike said...

Well, the first one is... funny actually.
"By royal decree, I demand you to be gay, or I'll banish you to the moon."

Uhh... on second thought, the first one is a horrible kind of funny.

Haha first one made me lol so hard. X)

Celestia as the overprotective guardian-figure totally makes sense to me. She's like the old father who makes a point of being on the porch, cleaning his shotgun when his daughter brings her date over for dinner, then follows a threat of violence should the date think of his daughter as "just another pair of legs" up with a laugh.

That is Celsestia in my mind, and this comic captured that perfectly.

Dinky-doo is cute as fuck in the second comic. For some reason, I read the "best sock ever" line in Pierce Smoulder's voice. But that's good, because Pierce Smoulder has a damn fine voice for Derpy/Dinky.

C. Theron Vulpin said...

First one, funny but wrong.

Second one... Derpy is best mother pony. Hooves down. and Dinky is best daughter pony.

Ditzy Derp said...

Loving these comic posts

anzul said...

celestia, best argument ever!!

C. Theron Vulpin said...

BTW, since when did Ditzy and Dinky have a Treehouse with an elevator? *jealous*

PinkieDash said...

So much D'awwwwwwwww

Punchline said...

ill break your neck...lol

Voltaire said...

"break her heart and I'll break your spine"
I'll remember that one.
Also, Ditzy (derpy) makes the best parent ever ^_^

Stephen said...

Hold on a second, a pegasus pony can have a unicorn child?

Rekiara said...

#1 made me snort Pepsi out my nose soooo, well done.

#2 made me d'awww. It was cute.

Yes. "Word of Faust" pretty much says so.

How it works on a genetic level, however, is up to the individual.

#2 manly dawwws of manliness were had

Anonymous said...

1st comic: lol
2nd comic: D'AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Lazureus said...

Took me a while to realize that was Ditzy's arm with bandages holding a needle.

After realizing that, the comic got 200% cooler.

Patriot Dash said...

I bet derpy will win

Rakshata said...

#1 hilarious, reminds one of those abridged series that always paints the characters in the most unlike-able fashions, yet manages to be funny enough to ignore how horrible they are to each other. :D

#2 took a moment to figure out, probably could have done with another panel or better positioning, but still adorable

First off Luna/Big Mac is my OTP. Second Dinky should be Derpy's little sister. Its adorable but come on, I'd rather Derpy be the slightly mentally retarded big sister that the slightly mentally retarded single teenage mother. Just sayin'.

Ewyndall said...

@No.1. I lol'd xD Oh Celestia, you are great at convincing ponies to follow their heart's desire.

@No.2. D'aaaawwww :)

Surgeon Kyle said...

Hilarious and cute, pretty great how Derpy is the best mom ever.

Hocus Pocus said...

Celestia can be very persuasive.

Pogosama said...

Good set. I (lol/daw)ed

Rulsis said...

I believe the reason Derpy's daughter is a unicorn and not a pegasus is because the father was a unicorn. That's what I'm going with anyway.

Ihaveanamebecause? said...

The first one made me laugh so much...

The second one, d'aaaawwwwww

@Anonymous
She isn't a teenager. And it's so much more emotional that way.

Stuff456789 said...

*yet another D'AWWWWWWWWW comment*

Bitmun said...

Celestia's perfectly serene expression as she mutters death threats into her prize pupil's ear completely sells the first one.

The second one is just seven kinds of adorable.

The reason her age gets confused is that she was apparently in the Best Young(!) Flyers competition.

Well, it's up to the fan what derpy's mental status and age are. As much as I agree that _I_ would, in general, prefer a sister derpy rather than mother derpy, if the fandom had decided to do that, we wouldn't have nearly the amount of great, emotional fanfic we have today.

Ugh... my mind is ruined. The first thing I thought of when I saw the Dinky socks comic was excess placenta... I've GOT to stop browsing 4chan late at night.

Luna said...

Dear sister Celestia,

Thank you!

Your newly mare-ied sister,
Luna

Octavia said...

Lmao. That first comic... nice. Poor Twi. Looks like she's getting hitched. X3

The second comic just made me d'awwwww. Derpy might be, well, derpy. But she certainly is one sweet and caring mom. Warms my heart so. <3

Twilight Sparkle said...

Dear Princess Celestia,

WHY!?

Your sister-in-law,
Twilight Sparkle

Screw Luna, Dinky in socks is by far the cutest... of course, Dinky is the cutest in any given situation.

Princess Celestia said...

@Twilight Sparkle

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Because.

blakestar15 said...

That certainly proves celestia as the motherly type.

Ditzy is always best mother!

Vinyl Scratch said...

I believe I just D'awww'd up a rainbow.

Wierdplatformer said...

I'm not sure what to say about this one. I'm sure they'll figure it out!

cameronstalker said...

"Break her heart and ill break your spine"

I think ill use that on my sister's first boyfriend.

ultra8 said...

1)Hilariously funny. Twilight's between a Rock and a Hardplace.
2)So F__ing adorable, though it took awhile to figure out that was Derpy's massively bandaged leg. So Awwww inspiring.

Also, Derpy as the same age was at the Summer Sun Celebration in Canterlot that Twilight attended as a filly in the episode 'Cutie Mark Chronicles'.

So, yeah, feel free to assign whatever age to her that you want. As far as I'm concerned, Derpy is timeless. (as all great things are).

Trollestia said...

Poor twilight. Also d'aww at derpy knitting for dinky.
