Comic: Mixoff Battle / Jumper

Click for Full!
Take two characters with around 15 seconds of air time between them and zero lines, then ship them. This fandom is insane.

We also have some Pinkie Pie being ridiculous below, as always.

Oh pinkie, you're so random.

Jelfes said...

Hehe, #1's awesome.

ombutescentdin said...

Well, pinkie this is why we love you.

Jelfes said...

"Dear Princess Celestia,

I...I don't even

Your mind-bucked student,
Twilight Sparkle" Or at least, that's what I'll imagine that last part says. #2 was good, more Pinkie breaking reality/the fourth wall is always a good thing.

Sothalic said...

I sorta assumed Ghastly Gorge was shaped like a U, and that the rest of the cast were able to walk to the finish line because of that... but now that the comic points that out... it really makes you wonder.

Oh well, screw logic, this is MLP.

Dantes_Grill said...

1st: I wonder if this was before Scratch and Tavi started to date =/
2nd: I remember that jumping across pages in a comic book from another cartoon, can't remember witch though.

John said...

Both of these comics were just spectacular and hilarious at the same time. God, I love this fandom.

jodyjm13 said...

#1: I'm not normally one for shipping, but that was a perfectly-executed gag. I just hope the Scratchtavia fans can accept it as just another fan's perspective or, failing that, as a cute gag.

#2: I'm with Twilight on this one.

CityFlyer502 said...

I can't even begin to describe how hilarious both of these comics were. Between the "show" and Pinkie's blatant defiance of the laws of physics, this was just about the funniest thing ever.

Shantara said...

#2 Sanity? What sanity? I don't need this useless thing anymore!

RavensDagger said...

I don't... I don't even...

Sigurd Mjøllnersson said...

#1 Finally someone have broken that Scratch&Tavi rule. It means an end to all perverted fics! Yeah :P

FilAm4494 said...

#1: Not a bad couple. and the name Neon Lights fits him pretty well.

#2: Oh that Pinkie.

CityFlyer502 said...

@Shantara I think all of us did away with some or all of our sanity once we got into the fandom.

DJnickbeta said...

That first one was cute! Nice job.

chappers27 said...

She would never betray tavi like that! Cute though

FredFredNineNine said...

What episode was Neon Lights in and where was he, cause I don't remember him. The comic was hilarious regardless.

Harwick said...

Heh... I enjoyed 'em both. People can ship the hell out of background characters in any combination without making me blink. I also have to admit, I hadn't given any thought to the rest of the cast somehow waiting at the finish line... A "U" shaped canyon does make the most sense though.

KTS said...

1. Shipping

2. Ahhh so that how they did that.

Mike said...

1: not blues

2: IMHC, the racetrack/gorge was a crescent or rough circle, so that they could get there before dash and the other pets. Still, for the sake of the joke, I'll imagine it's linear.

psmylie said...

Twilight can teleport, though. Isn't that roughly the same thing? :P

duskdrake said...

@Sigurd Mjøllnersson


pretty sure rule 34 can hit any pairing just as hard.


besides which, having another ship hardly means the overthrow of vinylxtavi. The same author also posted tavixblues earlier, meaning that this is hardly the first to deviate. I mean, heck, we've seen Bonbon with alternate ships before, and that hardly upset the lyraxbonbon shipping.

Personally, I'll just go with what was mentioned about this possibly being a prior relationship. Then I can enjoy the awesome comic without any conflicts with my favorite ship

shadowfalcon76 said...

#1: Quite amusing. I laughed.

#2 Pinkie being the same lovable, adorable Pinkie she always is. <3

Foxridley said...

When the fourth wall finally falls for good we will all find that the limits of space and time are mere illusion.

RifferKyle said...

Huh, I thought we said he was Scratche's brother? Or was that another back ground pony? Either way, I don't think Octavia approves.

Still, tolerance all around.

spychecker said...

who is this neon lights pony? where did he come from? what does he mean?

Bronies4ever said...

#1: Love it. :D Better shipping than Octavia/Vinyl.

#2: Just Pinkie Pie.

Pyrobug said...

I love Pinkie being ridiculous.

DashAttack said...

I don't normally approve of shipping, but comic #1 delivered. I definitely giggled like an idiot.

Octavia said...

Ah, more of that "MC W1sh" guy...

#1 Oh goodness, I think the green pony is a Kandi Raver. lol I'm not sure how I feel about this shipping. With some of the comments I sometimes see regarding it, I almost think it's supported a lot by the homophobes of the community. But maybe I'm over-thinking it. It's a silly comic.

#2 Haha! The letter to Celestia... "Dear Princess Celestia: I... I don't even." Hilarious.

ScalierHat said...

@spychecker

He was in the background of Sweet and Elite when Rarity was singing.

SteCisTTWG said...

The first comic was just too swee-eet.

RisingStar said...

His name is Rising Star. He owns a record company. He publicises and produces for Vinyl Scratch, and most other musical ponies. His special talent is in fact to be a talentfinder. He sees the potential in other ponies.

If he met the CMC, they'd have their cutie marks in 10 seconds flat.

If anyone says otherwise, I will buck them in the teeth.

Kyronea said...

1. Well, it's something different from the usual Vinyl/Octavia shipping.

2. Pinkie leaps the forth wall yet again. I don't even indeed.

Senior Waffles said...

#1 Bahahaha! Well played, well played. Also HEY OH!
#2 Clever, and a more appropriate use of "breaking the fourth wall".

pluckyninja said...

@Octavia I don't think that's a very fair assumption, considering that 1) slash makes up 90% of MLP shipping, and 2) most antagonism between shippers has been from slash shippers directed at het shippers.

The real irony is that the Octavia and Vinyl Scratch ship started out as a joke that took on a life of it's own, and now some people treat both of them like they are part of a set and get mad whenever they aren't depicted as a couple. I am fine with people shipping whoever they want, as long as they don't get possessive about the characters (and sadly, that is a test that a lot of shippers fail miserably at, especially in this fandom).

DJPoniver said...

Lol'd at both of them :D

Derptastic_w00t said...

Loved both of them... found #2's artwork to be especially awesome for some reason. Appeals to me more than most comics but not sure why? woohoo pinkie pie

Scherzando said...

@FredFredNineNine

He was a background pony in "The Pony Everypony Should Know" song.

rtisch said...

MC's rap. They don't mix music...

pluckyninja said...

@rtisch I've been to shows where the DJ had the title of MC.

amddude said...

"Take two characters with around 15 seconds of air time between them and zero lines, then ship them. This fandom is insane. "

So like allegrezza?

Sigma Silver said...

@Octavia

Besides, we all know homophobes only get their back up when it is 2 guys kissing. When 2 girls are kissing, it's HOT.

BakedBad said...

2. That was hilarious.

plotbuster said...

that pegasus in the tenth panel... cracks me up lol

duskdrake said...

you know, while it can be annoying, it really probably shouldn't be too surprising that people can lash out against unfavored shippings. I mean, it is easy to develop a kind of emotional attachment to characters, and when you feel like sets of characters go together, it feels in some ways like it is intruding on ones perception of how things should be.

Personally, I just wish that people would stop treating this like it is the only alternate shipping for Vinyl ever created. If you look through the fics or the drawfriends, there have been others, so there isn't any reason to get worked up over this one, either positively or negatively.

Qaianna said...

I can imagine the conversation after Pinkie's hop through the fourth walls. A scientific explanation on using magic to move a macroscopic body (a pony) from one place to another, versus ... um, whatever Pinkie does. I smell unicorn brains smoking.

On the whole shipping thing? Personally, I have certain favoured pairing, but as long as it's written well and makes sense in some way, that's fine. And yes, this includes the one fic that featured Twilight and Pinkie joining forces. And no, I'm not meaning just in the bedroom. Actually researching together.

Sleep on that, fellow readers.

kaled said...

I've forgotten how awesome pony comics were, thank you ED for those two pieces of art

Sincerely SkyRocket

rtisch said...

@pluckyninja

So have I... They are usually white (full disclosure, so am I), and don't really respect hip hop... at least the ones that I've met/ talked to.

kuronilla said...
