I don't know how this whole Scratch/Octavia shipping thing came about, but it's growing on me.

McSqueakers said...

Is the Fluttershy one a Dragonball Z Abridged reference?

MikeTheWeatherPony said...

Discords face in the second last pane, priceless!

Poor FLuttershy D:

Love Octavia And Vinyl, its one of only shipping that I always enjoy. This is no exception.

The Fluttersqueak...the rarest and most powerful of all squeaks. This comic was positively cruelarious.

The other one works well, too. I like the left to right format of the comic, scrolling through it felt almost like watching a short film. It was really nice.

I was coming to like Discord, and then this happened...

@McSqueakers

Yep it is, as noted by the author in the DA description.

See this (looped for 15 minutes) clip for the reference:

The image is much funnier if you know the source, as then you know what the squeak should sound like.

About octoscratch, they are two BG musicians, so they got shipped together, nuff said. They get loads of fan content, fics/comics/etc so they are fine by me.

Discord just earned himself a slow and painful death. Nobody hurts Fluttershy. Nobody.

NoctemWolf said...

mmmmMMMMMM!!!!!! I can't help it! Their Both Adorable pictures!!

Goodness, everypony says that... But then again, it's always true. =D

Octavia and Vinyl are my favorites, and this comic definitely does them justice.

Fluttershy: "Why does everypony laugh when they do that?! Don't they know that's my ribs crushing my lungs?"

...I feel horrible that DBZ Abridged got me to laugh at Fluttershy's pain.

Tyranoman said...

Why would you do such a thing Discord ;_;
This made me realise the lack of Squeaky Fluttershy toys though, get on it Hasbro!

wackypony said...

alright who's the guy who gave this a 1 star? D=<

wackypony said...

HUZZAH, 4.9 stars now. :D

ftfc said...

We don't know how we should feel about the first one... but DBZ abridged reference! Fluttershy is best squeaky toy!

#2 want.... part 2.... so much!

Nykkes64 said...

I always knew these ponies can have a squeaky feature that explains their body form!! ^_^

TenchiFreak5 said...

That first one just seems really dark to me. I must be missing something.

Kyronea said...

1. No question now. Discord dies. Pure and simple. DIES. DIIIIIIEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS.

2. Vinyl proposed? How did it go? How did it go?!

OtterMatt said...

Okay, that was actually heartwarming enough to overrule the MDW comic from earlier. I really, REALLY want a story written about it with the same care and warmth.

Steel Resolve said...

It is dark, it's disturbing, it's infuriating, it's... funny as hell. Sorry Fluttershy but that's so damned cute.

Dantes_Grill said...

Where can I find my own Squeakyshy?

Octavia said...

The Vinyl/Octavia shipping was an easy one. It pairs two individuals that share a common related interest, yet are pretty much opposites at the same time. And that's a fairly common way of coupling a pair together.

#1 Haha! Oh my, that's so adorable. Is it bad I'd probably start squeezing her tightly too to get her to squeak? <3 Poor adorable Fluttershy. lol

#2 It seems I'm about to get clobbered on the head by a bouquet of roses. lol But awww, Vinyl is proposing. That's cute. I especially love her all dressed up. You don't get to see that often. It's a rarity.

yetti said...

*grabs shotgun*

Discord, you have right to remain alive for 2 seconds. Zero.

gillnavisingh said...

@Octavia
Did you say Yes?!? We wanna know!!

jodyjm13 said...

@TenchiFreak5
If you take the comic seriously, it would be rather dark, but it's meant just as a silly joke, suggesting Fluttershy could be used like a squeaky toy.

If you're still worried about Fluttershy being hurt, just think about how Twilight was up and walking normally hours after being flattened by a piano. ;)

Adrian Brony said...

I like how the second comic ends right where it needs to. it didn't over exert itself showing you what you already had envisioned in your head anyway, it didn't go for the fluff, it went just as far as intended and left the rest to the reader.

that's what I like.

Specter Von Baren said...

Octavia/Scratch came from them liking very differen't music... and that's it...

GreenGuy said...

If DBZ:A is any indication, that squeaking noise is the sound of Fluttershy's ribs crushing.

Joshua C. Fizer said...

Love number 1. ROTFLOL!
Number two is nice. I like Vinyl in a suit, it looks good. :)

KTS said...

1. DBZA Joke

2. Shipping???

Adrian Brony said...

@Specter Von Baren

and? people get in relationships for having vaguely similar interests all the time.

the relationship isn't all about that one thing. that one thing is where the trail starts. that one thing you have in common is the hook that can lead to things you didn't know you had in common, or things that contrast, but don't clash.

iloveMLP said...

DAmmit discord let go of fluttershy

CityFlyer502 said...

#1 I feel so bad for laughing at this one. Why would you turn Fluttershy into a squeaky toy? Why?!

#2 These two make such a charming pair no matter what they're up to.

S008 said...

Am I a bad person if the first one made me think about whether Discord and Zecora have been shipped already or not?

jodyjm13 said...

@S008
... Why would it make you think about that?

TechnoTrot said...

I get the DBZA joke.

I don't care.

You do not, I repeat, YOU DO NOT HURT MY FAVORITE PONY.

Someone make a Discord squeaky toy so we can return the favor.

Senior Waffles said...

#1 That's so wrong but it's so hilarious! Especially his face in the last panel.
#2 Interesting comic and interesting style.

Ten said...

#1 hahaha loved that from DBZ abridged.
#2 really like the style of this comic and cute to boot.

Vash said...

@#1 in the words of the origin of that Joke: Oh my god that's HILARIOUS!

Vanishing said...

That Octavia/Vinyl comic... oh fuck off

Destroyer said...

First one had me grinning like crazy Twi and the second one was sweet

Nikita said...

#1 Discord is gonna be killed so hard, he'll DIE TO DEATH.

herpyderpy said...

While I would normally disapprove of the squeezing of Fluttershy, no.1 made me laugh so hard. Good work.

Jake said...

I recognized the DBZ Abridged joke easily. To be serious, though, if MLP wasn't a kids show, they could have actually had him pull a Great Ape Vegeta and try to actually crush one of the Mane Six while her friends watched in horror. Again, they would never pull something like that in a kids show, but it would have made Discord 10 times more terrifying and threatening.

Specter Von Baren said...

@Adrian Brony

......... There is so much wrong with this statement that I barely know where to begin.

You speak as if the two were cannonically in a relationship. They aren't, they're two background ponies that have never said a single word to anyone and have never appeared together even once and have nothing in common.

This isn't an actual relationship here, this is another product of the most basic and trite formula for slash pairings ever created. If two people argue then they love each other. Don't even try to bring in the true depth of relationships into something so shallow.

Now. People CAN write them to have a deep relationship, but don't try to make it out as if this was started by anything more than the typical pointless slash pairing fans.

Hydra in a Top Hat said...

@Specter Von Baren

You seem strangely vehement about this, especially considering it's something so silly. Let the fans have their fun already- most of what fanwork I see of the pairing is quality, and that's enough for me, really.
