Greetings Nor/mlp/eople!
So we had a new Friends Forever come out this week! Reason enough to have a story time I feel. So I want to kick my winter break off right with a fun MLP story time! So let's go ahead and start this off!
Here is a media fire link for you!

How is everyone doimg today?
>>21021357
Sunday, got my writefag on for sunhorse, chilled out and watched Boondock Saints 2. 9/10, could have done with some more vidya.
>>21021422
Sounds like a good Sunday to me!
>>21021521
>cheezburger
you've got to be fucking kidding me
>>21021605
>you've got to be fucking kidding me
Kidding you is the point of a joke, anon.
Mission accomplished!
>>21021658
>>21021617
makes for a good reaction pic
>>21021617
Someone should make a version with OP and a bunch of dicks of the middle part
>>21021375
>>21021635
I thought those two looked familiar
>>21021547
Why hasnt anyone done the edit of this? where she finds out the agony ofanal or rapei am disappoint.
I am
>>21021521
fokin burgers
>>21021719
For you.
>>21021521
I liked the comic but that doesn't mean I can't hate this memespouting piece of shit page.
Any requests? No finals week for me so I am in it for the long haul. So I am up for anything.
>>21021521
It's so sad when a writer becomes old and completely out of touch.
>>21021801
Hey, that's my edit!
Cool, somebody liked it.
>>21021882
Can you post a GOOD comic, Dan?
One we could genuinely enjoy?
>>21021882
>>21021920
Mirrors arc.
>>21021882
Haven't had the Applejack micro yet, have we?
>>21021920
Sure but we will have to go to /co/ba dum tis
Just read the Spitfire one for the first time. Eh.
Thanks a bunch tho dan, you rock
>>21021932
No badum tshh because what you said was nt a joke, Dan.
Unfortunately we are stuck with Cook until March.
>>21021924
Mind if I do
>>21021926
first?
>>21021967
I don't mind at all.
If you're doing requests - I've been wanting to check out the Rarity/AJ Friends Forever comic for a while so that would be cool.
>>21021945
No need to thank me. I just post other people's work on 4chan.
>>21021986
That's why you rule anon!
>>21021521
>all these fucking maymays
This could have been good.
Let's pretend its 2022 and the comic won an Eisner in 2018.
I'll start.
Hey, does anyone remember Joe Kelly's run? We all thought Carla Speed McNeil couldn't come back from FF1, but Curnow's final executive decision, to let her do it all in pencils, was a stroke of genius.
>>21022011
You've been doing for fucking ever, now it's become a entertainment "board constant" for all the people who are too lazy to download the comics themselves. It's quite the service. Just so you know, it's appreciated.
I mean if I recall correctly you came from /co/ and didn't even give that much of a fuck about ponies back then, and you've stuck to it for all this time, don't even know how long ago this was but it must have been at least a year
How did the Twilight/PP FF have a worse addiction allegory than Inspiration Manifestation? At least Spike didn't make Rarity's problem all about him.
>>21021967
This issue was nice.
My only nitpick is Hickey's weird way as she draws pony teeth but it's an insignificant nitpick.
If Derpy ever gets a comic I would like Hickey to draw it.
>>21021617
>>21022072
Two years by my count and I loved the shit outta ponies so since I had already been Story timing for like 2 and a half years by that point it was only natural. I am glad you appreciate it!
>>21022021
If we are creating a fictional team for this book then Tobin is my first pick. Tobin is the best All Ages book authro IMO.
>>21022090
I would not mind more Hickey.any takers ladies?
>>21022152
I do prefer Brenda over Tony anytime.
Hey guy wanting reflections.
>>21021990
had a request. You are next in line but since it's just one issue vs 4 I would hate to make him wait. I hate to ask but can I bump you down again? I'll owe you one for sure.
>>21022196
Sure. That's okay with me.
>>21021801
constipation aint anal bruh
>>21022214
Thanks! This is the last time and I seriously owe you one. Sorry again.
>>21021801
Could I get an edit that says autism instead of constipation?
>>21022214
Never read Reflections before? If not, then you're in for a treat.
>>21022255
Never read it. Want to read it on the mere merit that everybody keeps bitching about how terrible it is.
>>21022281
Ah, don't want to spoil it then. I will just say it's impressively entertaining.
>>21022281
Well I won't ruin it for you but get some snacks or something.
>>21022255
More like a mistreat.
>>21022305
>>21022305
See, this was a cute and nice story.
This is what we couldn't have during the whole year.
>>21022293
I will spoil it a bit. Anon, don't expectto see the Mirror Mane Six except as cameos. Sorry!
>>21022316
When you read it seriously, it's probably one of the worst comics I've read in quite a while. When you read it as a comedy that consists of errors and failures like Birdemic or The Room, it's fucking awesome.
>>21022293
Well I got the basic idea of what happens - the particular things people keep bitching are hard to miss. Still the intriguing part is how it can be *so* bad that people bitch and bitch and bitch about, even though it's only a "semi-canon" fancomic.
>>21022391
Let me put it like this, when I read it seriously and the more thought I put into it, the more I hated it.
>>21022391
The answer is autism.
For a more complete answer, months before Reflections even came out Cook and/or Price made some comments that hurt the feelings of this boards more "challenged" members and discussion of their comics has never been the same since.
>>21022359
When you need to drop all standards and adopt a purposely retarded mental stance in order to enjoy a comic you know it's concentrated shit.
>>21022518
>>21022527
>>21022539
I would like to point out that Cook ruined her own arc not even including the part where Twilight acts like a tard.
>>21022474
Thant's nice, Illustrious Q.
Now go back to IDW boards to give Curnow another blowjob.
>>21022572
>>21022587
Here we see Cook not writing a story long enough to fill one issue.
>>21022518
>jersey shore
HURRRI don't get it. Is this just a blatant reference to a shitty reality show? Where's the joke?
>>21022474
See, this is exactly why we can't have any nice comic threads or any thoughtful discussions anymore.
If you don't love the comic you are automatically an autistic manchild, that's what each and every member from IDW's board and the Round Stable are programmed to spread around.
>>21022620
Jersey cattle are a small breed of dairy cattle. Originally bred in the Channel Island of Jersey, the breed is popular for the high butterfat content of its milk and the lower maintenance costs attending its lower bodyweight, as well as its genial disposition.
>>21022572
If that's a pony in a costume then how is it standing on it's hind legs for so long? Must be hell on his back.
Here we go. I really need to write a review of this at some point.
>>21022636
Neat!
>>21022572
>>21022587
>>21022598
>>21022607
All of this is useless padding filler.
>>21022636
Huh, I never knew that.
>>21022703
>Luna can't follow Celestia through the Equestria Girls mirror.
Nice job there Cook. The EqG movies already established that multiple ponies can use the mirror at once. Dumb bitch. 0/10 for completely contradicting established lore.
>>21022693
Was there ever any point to this faggot? Or did the story just go nowhere with him?
>>21022729
>>21022727
It's a different mirror.
>>21022743
He went from being a TV show reference in the background, to a foreground pony, to a bit part. So no. He's a TV show reference.
>>21022743
It's to show that those two got too comfortable and forgot that they're writing for an audience.
>>21022550
self-awareness always helps, but in this case, I don't think even Cook realizes this.
>>21022743
He's a reference BG pony that they tried making a thing out of.
I don't think he got famous in fanart and discussion in the long run though.
>>21022714
>pinkie digging under the table for gum
I never noticed this before.
>>21022774
She's not good at self-awareness. Refer to Twilight in the Western arc.
>>21022743
He puts one in each of his issues. They are usually easy to miss.
The only reason he put it front and center in this issue is because there are a whole bunch of other Fringe references in this arc.
>>21022559
Not that anon, but he's right you know. I can understand being upset about her writing, but dude's act like their feeling were hurt because the team poked fun at them.
It's like we can dish it out but we can't take it. There are some people in the comic threads these days who are seriously fucking bootyblasted Price drew a picture of a cartoon pony sticking their tongue out. It's like, can we be mad for the right reason, maybe?
>>21022815
Pinkie is fucking disgusting.
>>21022855
I don't mind how Price draws their faces because they reflect the writing for the characters really well. Slack jawed, dazed retards.
>>21022908
>Slack jawed, dazed retards.
I know this story is called Reflections, but you can stop starring at that mirror anon.
>>21022748
According to Cook herself, the story was meant to use the EqG mirror all along until a Hasbro exec asked her to change it because they were making Rainbow Rocks.
So yeah, no excuse.
>>21022908
pic related, every single pony that Price draws talking looks like this.
>>21022929
I'm not the one drawing the characters like this every other panel.
>>21022929
dude don't incinerate him just burn him.
>>21022855
"Not that anon"
Yeah, right.
>>21022952
That was just for the cover art.
>>21022929
>I know this story is called Reflections
It's called Reflections because it makes you reflect on the money you wasted on this crappy arc!
DOOOHOHOHOHO!
>>21022919
So right here is the bigger problem with Reflections.
There is a story, but we only get part of it. The rest comes later.
People only see the first half of the plot, make up their minds and ignore any new information that comes later.
Cook should stay away from non-linear storytelling if she wants to appeal to more people. Not everyone wants to expend mental energy connecting the dots.
>>21023019
Yes, we all saw that cap.
>>21023028
>>21023036
>appeal to more people
Cook's MO is that she writes the stories that she wants. Even if no one else wants to see it.
>>21022964
You don't even have to go to a specific page. Pick any page at random. Every one has the ponies mouths open and their tongues sticking out.
I want to see someone make a compilation of this face from every comic drawn by price.
>>21023053
Umm... people's mouths open when they talk anon.
I'm not sure how you can not know this.
HOW TO SPOT THE IDW SHILLS:
- They claim that not liking the comic automatically makes you autistic
- They claim that any person not satisfied with the comic's quality is a self entitled manchild arguing about a comic for girls
- They claim that any person who dislikes Katie Cook's stories is because they are butthurt over their stolen waifu
And finally, each and every of their posts defending IDW's horrendous year is full of insults- they are completely uncapable to say anything without being smug, condescending or plain offensive.
>>21023081
So your tongue sticks straight out or over your lips when you talk?
>>21023081
Do you talk with your togue sticking out as if you were a dog, anon?
Probably you do, seeing how you are IDW's personal bitch.
>>21023085
Oh screw you, I could shill for IDW,
Just not for their MLP. It's easily the companies' most mediocre run that's basically bathing in franchise-recognition alone than pure quality.
>>21023081
>>21023132
>>21023119
>>21023132
In every example in that image you can't even see a tongue. WTF?
>>21023166
Babby's first comic with talking animals? It's like you're nitpicking on the smaller things than focusing on the bigger, horrendous stuff.
>>21023178
Are you honestly trying to tell me that those aren't tongues?
>>21023202
>>21023085
Shill detected.
>>21023178
It's the red part. It is a bit like the standard toothless cartoon mouth style, except that the tongue is supposed to be covering the teeth.
The tongues are clearly inside the lips though, I don't know why that other guy is so buttblasted.
>>21023206
l-lewd.
But really though, you're angry because of that? The main show barely shows the teeth, much more the perfect, consistent look of a stylized horse.
>>21023241
>buttblasted.
Shill detected.
>>21023226
>anything that isn't hating the comic is a shill
/v/ detected. Nitpick somewhere else
>B-But you're just sayng that everyone should like the comic like a circle jerker
Eventually the argument would just go round and round until we just shout shill/bandwagoner at each other instead on focusing on actually criticizing and enjoying/or not enjoying a comic book.
>>21023206
>>21023241
Ok yeah I see it now. What I don't see is a tongue hanging out past the lips like a retard.
>>21023262Yeah, I noticed that too.
>you're angry because of that?
I wouldn't say angry about it. It's just a pet peeve I have with the way Price draws pony mouths.
Because it honestly looks to me like what the other Anon said about them being slack jawed and having their tongues sticking out. I'm only talking about it because it was brought up by someone else.
>>21023301
Shill detected.
If you want to be taken seriously then try to speak like a human being and not like some well trained monkey, or soundmonkey.
Want to defend the comic and artists you seem to love so much? Perfectly valid option, but if all what you can do is spew out insults or "NO U!" shit without showing any rational argument, then don't complain when you are called a shill.
>>21023324
I don't really have a problem with that, really. The only thing I do have a pet peeve about the style is that every issue has at least one panel of one pony sticking their tongues up with a "trying" face, but it's not too annoying to me, just overdone.
>>21023354
>Rarity is smitten
Meh, common running gag.
>Fluttershy is smitten too
Now that's funny.
>>21023359
>sticking their tongues up with a "trying" face
Could you show me an example of what you mean?
>>21023342
>Want to defend the comic and artists you seem to love so much? Perfectly valid option, but if all what you can do is spew out insults or "NO U!" shit without showing any rational argument, then don't complain when you are called a shill.
Who said I love the comics? I'm simply arguing with anons on a certain matter. Eventually you just shout "shill detected" whenever someone defends anything, or at least nitpick to a certain thing. It's like going to /v/, they shout Marketer whenever they have a thread.
>>21023378
> Fluttershy smitten
Completely out of character and only forced in to make Cook's character look "cool"
>>21023384
>>21023419
flutterfag detected
>>21023391
>Eventually you just shout "shill detected" whenever someone defends anything
"Shill detected" is said when someone claims to be "defending" something but is actually hurling insults and moving the goalposts to downplay a comic's bad points.
If you want to defend a comic or question the points climed by the guys criticrizing it, then do it in a rational way.
You are claiming to be the smart guy, so at least try to play the part.
>>21023429
Is this when she is searching for the gum? Seems like a common expression for a cartoon character lost in thought.
I noticed Celestia also did this particular face in that one panel with the cake. Maybe Price uses this mostly in food related panels?
>>21023429
Oh that. For some reason that isn't as noticeable to me as the open mouth tongue thing.
>>21022890
CelestiavistsG1afteralltheseyears.killme
>>21023434
See, now this is just shitposting.
And a shill's "Stolen waifu" argument as well.
>>21023451
Boo! They wasted a decent setting for this exact page.
>Expect jerk mane6
>Got half-assed romance with inconsistent portal-connection magic.
>>21023419
In Cook's universe, Fluttershy is just a background gag character, no harm no foul.
