I TOTALLY didnt see that one coming! :P

FoxOfWar said...

Laughed my sorry rear off.

Well executed comic indeed <3

Pooch said...

That's ridiculous.

Altercation said...

That sure was a harmonic sleep-over.

Seen this one before. Still makes me laugh.

And to DJ's comment... I DID! :3

This makes nothing but complete sense, but that's half the fun now, *puts on sunglasses* deal with it.

DJB123 said...

teehee hee.

awesome.

Evine said...

That was classically awesome.

ElectricZoNe said...

I totally didn't see that coming lol (I really did laugh out loud)

Anonymoose said...

I can't imagine what would happen if they ditched their pre-teen girl target audience and started catering to the bronies exclusively. Shit would get real.

Rohit Eligeti said...

War of the music LOL
IT IS ON!

supervanman64 said...

@HaysforPonies Dangit, I wanted to do that joke. XD

Laurence Brown said...

Why am I so happy that there is apparently only ONE area to practice music in all of Equestria?

GreatSnapper said...

This has now become best pairing ever.

CoffeeGrunt said...

This is exactly how I imagine Vinyl and Octavia functioning, funnily enough.

I'm just drawing it out a little...

CommissarCain said...

Calvin and Hobbes refrrence.

I am very very pleased

Yappy said...

Somepony clearly enjoyed reading too much into Allegrezza.


...(Me too.)

Odd-Ranger said...

There are certain things I've learned to expect of fiction, and especially fanfics. When two characters that are around each other a lot get into a heated argument, a make out will always ensue. Expecting this does not make it any less funny.

commanche105996 said...

Angry sex is best sex. And if MLP started catering for bronies... Well... I would be a happy person!

NDupree93 said...

You know, stuff like this is why I'm having an excruciatingly hard time avoiding accidental inuendos in my NaPoWriMo fic. Whenever I have RD and AJ in the same scene together I'm always painfully aware every time anything that could be even remotely construed as sexual turns up in the way I phrase something.

Hell, there's at least 4 different innuendos I spotted in that paragraph!

SirLadette said...

My new OTP. :D

I dig the love/hate relationship the fandom has come up with for them.

Shadow Dragon said...

I love that apparently Scratch keeps her goggles on during sex.

TenchiFreak5 said...

Been waiting for this one to pop up.

Atiarotias said...

Lucky it's a kids show.. if it was (somehow) for older audiences, they'd be bloody cheating on each other every week just to get *gasp*s like any TVshows..

bronydash said...

Oh, hell no. I was loving it, but then you had to throw in the shipping. That's the one thing I hate about the fandom and why I don't want the creators to be catering specifically to bronies. Shipping everywhere, no limits, doesn't matter if it even makes sense or not. Especially this ship. These characters had like 5 or 10 seconds of airtime each, no character development, and not even names. Despite this, however, the fandom is convinced that they are an item. Bugs the hell out of me. Smh...

CoffeeGrunt said...

Dayum, bronydash, cool your jets.

Shipping's pretty fun to write, especially engineering love-hate characters like these together.

Trollestia said...

And now for something completley different...

Ciroton said...

What really got me? "Torturing a moose with a corkscrew" and "I've seen more culture floating in a toilet before flushing!"

Octavia x Scratch = Win. =D

DJnickbeta said...

Hmmm, and I always thought Tav would be a top.

clarin-ed said...

@bronydash

What do you mean by "they are an item"? As far as I'm convinced, they are items, in terms of we can characterize them in any way we we want to. You don't have to ship them; a lot of people do because they find it amusing.

I actually think it's easier to ship ponies (Lyra+Bonbon, Octavia+Scratch) that don't have characterizations, because there is no reasoning in place to say that they can't be together. I mean, come on; is Raripink (or whatever the fandom wants to call it) plausible? Not really, though many people have fun trying.

Tosxychor said...

I loved this comic ^^ (and of course, i love this fanon <3 )

Shaunnnnnnnnn said...

That got a genuine 'lol' from me.

Derpy said...

i laughed so hard and dident even know what it meant

SunshineBlogger said...

Must...get...up...off...floor

LegacyTyphoon said...

Glasses, on or off?
Off, please.
Too bad.

TenchiFreak5 said...

@bronydash

I'm almost scared to ask what you think about things like Berry Punch being thought of as an alcoholic or Derpy having a speech impediment.

Harakou said...

This entire comic is hilarious, and the facial expressions are just priceless.

M1Abrams said...

Oh god that was hilarious, I mean I kinda expected that outcome but it still got me in the end. Had family over for dinner at my place and they all couldn't figure out why I was laughing so hard at my phone.

I'm adding Octavia and Scratch to my list of 'acceptable' ships. Which brings the number on that list up to....3....XD

Vinyl Scratch said...

Pfft, no matter what the haters say...it's an adorable pairing and makes for good smiles.

Also - Fanon pairings DO NOT EXIST...we all actively know the pairings wouldn't ever take place. It's done because people like screwing around and having fun with it, not because of some misguided notion that the shipping takes place in the show.

Why rain on their parade?
It causes no actual long-lasting harm and is entirely ignorable

Marshall said...

I think this just made my day.

John said...

Serious LOL at the end there. Oh my god that was hilarious!

Marcoooootje1 said...

Me Gusta
And I'm jealous of your green text..

Vanishing said...

@bronydash

I'm going to be in the minority on this, but I'll agree with you.

ElementalOgre said...

@Vinyl Scratch

Liar! Lyra and Bon Bon truly do care for each other and your lying ways must be stopped, no matter the cost.

Vinyl Scratch said...

@ElementalOgre

Alas, the only thing Lyra truly cares about is the freedom to be a slob...BonBon is just a nice perk on the side to that pony, methinks! :3

Ace2401 said...

@bronydash

I know where you're coming from, but it's a lot easier and funner if you just chill and roll with it. That's what I've done, and I'm having a lot more fun with the fandom than I otherwise would.

CoffeeGrunt said...

Love is the logical advancement on Friendship. Just sayin'.

In terms of a magical power at least.

Erroneous said...

Allegrezza in a nutshell. (most likely.)

I was wondering when you guys were going to post this.

ElementalOgre said...

@Vinyl Scratch

Why must you hate everything you love? If you can't get behind Lyra x Bon Bon, you truly are evil.

animemetalhead said...

Octavia X Scratch = OTP

This is the best ship. Srsly.

Wierdplatformer said...

Shipping again? That's original!

Aquaman52 said...

I remembering seeing this a while back.

It's still just as funny now.

BalaklavaPony said...

Seriously?? The ending is such a huge logical jump, just so we can see another scene of two ponies in bed together after sex?? It wasn't even an original or funny joke, because that's not even how relationships work! What the fuck guys, this fandom is getting seriously weird to me, and a lot harder to explain to other people.

Ragona said...

@Ace2401

100% agree. I don't see why it bothers people so much. I used to browse around with fanfic mode off, but your really missing half the fandom if you aren't reading the literature.

Its completely for fun and giggles. Don't see why bronies of ALL people on the internet have a problem with it.

paradoxador said...

Lmao, why do i get the feeling that is what would happen if they really met... except the sex part.... well maybe

Ragona said...

@BalaklavaPony
Seriously, you've never seen this used in any other form of media? Love to hate? Its hardly shipping. Its just a silly comic. I can't believe how serious people get about My Little Pony sometimes.

Mojo said...

hahahah Green Text.

TenchiFreak5 said...

@BalaklavaPony

How can a joke be unoriginal and a huge logical jump at the same time?

CoffeeGrunt said...

@BalaklavaPony

It's balaclava...

Also, most of us writers do it for this thing called "fun," where, in all honesty, we write the stories we want to tell, we put them out to the brony community, and they yay or nay it. (Not doing the pun guys.) XD

If you don't like shipping, don't read or look at it.

HMtMayor said...

im surprised this is just now getting here, though i guess octavia and scratch havent had a super strong following till recently

Octavia said...

Haha! "I thought you were torturing a moose with a corkscrew!" Grr!

Ugh, more shipping of myself! *can't escape the shipping* D:

But this comic was pretty funny. Extreme in it's points, but I guess that's what makes it all the more funny. Nice work. :)

Gozer the Equestrian said...

After "Spiderses" nothing about the fandom really shocks me anymore.

private-enemy said...

I personally thought this was quite funny, even if I did see the ending coming from a mile away.

I can picture, after the angry sex, a minute or two of awkward silence, and then:

Vinyl: "......your music stills sucks."

colt classic said...

"music i learned in prison" lol

NDupree93 said...

@colt classic
Thanks to that line, I can't help but imagine Scratch speaking like Varg Vikernes. Which is actually kind of disturbing.

DarwinBird said...

even though i normally hate shipping, i irl rofl'd

about the kids show thing... yeah, kinda embarrassing, but I realized that MLP is (and kinda always has been) more of a "universe" and the show is one aspect of it. kinda like star-trek or star wars (off the top of my head). likely adds to the appeal. That's why i kinda support OC and bg character focus more than mane 6. I feel the show is about the mane 6, we fill the rest of the universe with whatever we want.

nomonoke said...

"Music I just learned in prison", hehe!

I love these two so much, shippy or otherwise. So awesome. XDDD

CoffeeGrunt said...

Blank canvas, and Hasbro gave us free-reign of the finger-paints, bronies.

Although, as an advocate of VinylTavia shipping, (for obvious reasons,) my opinion is a bit biased. However, we're free to mould this fanon into whatever we want, and Ocs help that.

How dull would fanfiction be if shipping and OCs were banned? It'd suck horrifically, or be massively out of character alot.

Traxus said...

ok, I must admit, this was very creative and humorous. well played.

Puzzle Plate said...

kids ive said this before, hate sex is the best sex

crazyredemu said...

They would never pander to the bronies like that lol. They will give us shout outs like in the adds on TV and such, but nothing that big. That first one is fricken hilarious, Twilight would be a fan girl like that!

RadicalEdward2 said...

"Friendship is Magic?" lol

DeRockProject said...

@bronydash

I also, liked it when there was a less implausible amount of lesbians, but I'll tell ya, it's retarded to not expect this to happen. And even in real life, there are at least one person in a large group who's a homosexual or something.

(also, saying "that's the one thing I hate about this fandom," is starting to get old... Hearin it too often. yknow)

youtube|UsurperKingZant said...

There's way too many girls to not have an abundance of lesbian shippings

Pony In Chief said...

I saw that coming.
I think everyone on this site saw that coming.

Profesor Rod said...

I've heard angry sex is the best sex :Y

ShakeBunny said...

I lol'd at Octavia on the turntable. Brilliant.

Alan Solivan said...

"And so we did what any angry couple does: we got married. I can remember where and when, I just can't remember exactly why."

Jelfes said...

lol, that was good.

VINYL_SCRATCH said...

this made me laugh so stinking hard. i loved it.

Risky said...

@Anonymoose
Heavens forbid... to cater solely to brony audience is to invite disaster into the mortal realm. so much internet would slip in. oh god, the memes...

oh, the comic was mad funny too.

WhiteDiamonds said...

While I must confess that in the past I haven't been overly enamored with Octavia (Scratch has always been chill enough), I am happy to say this comic has me rethinking my previous feelings. That was far too hilarious, and the expressions were brilliantly executed. I am now happily converted!

Hydra in a Top Hat said...

I think is probably my favorite Background Pony ship, if only how amazing the personalities they've been given play off of eachother.

Saw the punchline coming from the first panel. Didn't make it less funny in the least.

rikvb9olp said...

They made the Tron Legacy soundtrack. Trolololol

Autumn Oak said...

Very likely to happen XD

aramaru said...

Why is this so perfect, why.

DeRockProject said...

Them insulting each other was so funny and witty. Wonder what they were saying to each other during the whole... time in bed. oh god shut me the fuck up, that was disturbing.

MrSchinken said...

Ha, the funny thing was I DID see that coming ;) Quarreling ponies are best ponies^^

Avehand1 said...

AAWWWWWWWWWW YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Calvin and Hobbes reference!

PonyPonyPonyBrony said...

Nah, we all saw it comin' =P

kitetsu said...

@Anonymoose They couldn't show it on tv anymore

Devil Dan said...

@Laurence Brown

It seems that Celestia poured all available funds into her school for gifted unicorns and the music school got the short end of the stick. I mean, they don't even have a background.

Edudls said...

@gingerale
I believe the proper term is "Kismessitude". Either that, or I just made up a new word. Either way works.

Planetary Genocide said...

First time i saw this I laughed for ten minutes straight

mlpKaninapo said...

Best shipping comic... ever
