I hate to say it, but it might be time to hang up the coat.

>>42265540
It's all so tiresome...

>>42265540
No, the previous thread got sniped. It slid way too fast down the last page of the catalog and got archived before I could post anything. That wasn't a coincidence.
>42265538
Proves it too. Someone is targeting /nmp/ on purpose.

>>42265555
Huh. That's interesting. Why nmp in particular though?

>>42265563
/nmp/ always ticked some retards off. I don't know what caused that, but this has been a thing for years. It was dormant for a while, though it looks like it's making a return these days.

>>42265563
It seems more like any sort of general, archive shows a lot of general threads got targeted and the garbage 10-20 posts that die off arent on there.

>>42265563
Just another dead general

>>42265572
Maybe it has something to do with the war on waifufags? A lot of waifu threads have been getting shat up more than they normally would. The Trixie threads in particular have a problem with bad actors drowning out conversation with "Trixie bad". My theory is that whoever is doing this is doing it to kill the board by driving waifufags away from it.

>>42265585
That could have something to do with it, yeah.

>>42265588
The worst part is that it's working in some cases. Flutterfags left because of it.

I've been hanging out with these mares and they all seem really nice
They say I should invite all my mare-loving friends

>>42265662
Damn, Blackjack's got a tiny horn.
Do you think she ever feels emaresculated because of it?

>>42265555
There was a slide this morning. Jannies deleted all the threads the guy made, but it still killed a lot.
I think /kinder/ was the main target, since the guy immediately went in to destroy the thread once it was remade.
There were also duplicate posts indicating the use of a proxy.
https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/42264953/#q42264956
You can easily identify the poster too.

>>42265672

Which is sad, mares shouldn't be made to feel bad like that

>>42265660

Hold your applause, I know I'm based

>>42265662
It's already too late for you Anon you mare-addict

>>42265700
Which waifufags are you targeting next, oh based one?

>>42265532 (OP)
Why does this thread still exist?

>>42265734
so we can dilate our wounds for our mare waifus

>>42265737
We call them clitty's here, saar.

>>42265572
saw a barbie reeeing about /nmp/ after getting one of his threads deleted. said retard will probably throw a shitfit and call me obsessed for bringing it up. lotta people who hate ponies are part of that lot though
i dont even look at these threads, just something i noticed a couple months ago

>>42263971
Repost for additional feedback.

>>42263968
Done. And for once, I'll say something up front. Since it's pretty obvious, I think it's no big secret to say that the next arc is planned to focus on Anon and #deca.mare founding a family on the surface. Now that in itself is not an issue, but considering that the whole affair requires the involvement of some proxy action, I'd like to hear your opinions on this subject. And more specifically, how detailed those scenes in question should be, as the whole topic has led to some mixed reactions in the past because it dances on the edge of the thread's premise.
Since some suggested that I should write a full steam ahead proxy on #deca.mare segment at some point, and others commented that they don't care about that sort of thing at all, I'd like to know what the current opinion in the thread is. After all, it does not make much sense to write something that no one bothers to read.

>>42264071
>I'm of the mind [...]
Noted, thanks.

>>42265673
A serial shitposter, hurray. This is getting more and more common nowadays.

>>42266166
It all goes back to mareschizos. They got people hooked on serial shitting.

>>42265662
>"Anon I need you to be cool about this. We've already fixed the marecel problem in Equestria but there's still a bazillion guys I want to help so we're looking at helping alternate universes where they didn't get a chance to set up a waifu bureau."
>"Don't give me that look, you were the one crashing out in the bathroom when our agent explained that we basically ran out of mares."
>"They already promised not to kill you, and this is the most peaceful timeline with no bureau, all the other ones are way worse."
>"I could drop you off in the weird timeline with no sun and all the ponies and creatures live together in hive cities and have robot parts. Have you ever seen a transmare? They have them in those hive cities and they're terrifying."
>"I'm super stressed out because there was almost a hundred million anons who asked for help but Equestria's mare population was only 15 million. I want to help you, I really do, but you need to work with me on this. I can feel it in my snowpity your waifu is somewhere in here."

>>42266423
>"[...] when our agent explained that we basically ran out of mares. [...]"
I'd ctf too, what the fuck?
>"They already promised not to kill you [...]"
Doubt.

Double doubt.

Since craft is the theme, if you had the chance to work together with your match, which craft or profession would that be? Would you do the same thing in equal measure, or would you specialize, i.e. one does the crafting and the other deals with the management and sales etc.?

and we'd split the load evenly (assuming I can convince her to)

you guys don't put /nmp/ in the title anymore?

>>42266592
Not exactly craft in my case but I'd be all for studying together with her or learning from her. Can't do a lot in terms of magic itself and she already has an assistant but I'm certain that as soon as she starts thinking about it there'd be a lot I could do to both help her and further my own studies. Me personally, I'd go for astronomy. Equestria's night sky is gorgeous.

>>42267655
AJ and the Apple Family are criminally underrated. Their strong roots and emphasis on family values are great and wholesome. We'd need more of that.

Sometimes, the vanilla flavor is the best.
Or which type do you prefer?

>>42267985
Depends on the situation. Sometimes something playful is just the thing you need.

>>42265915
>One response after a day
I know that's not unusual for the thread, and I generally don't want to be an attention whore either, but this time it would really help to get some more replies in order to feel out how to proceed with the story. As I said, the green is primarily meant for /nmp/, so it would be good to know how people think about this matter.

not a real /nmp/ thread without my lovely wife

>>42267662

Don't let baseless ptfg complaints limit the green

>>42269182

>>42267985
Daily reminder that vanilla is an exotic spice, the second-most expensive by weight after fucking saffron, that has to be laboriously hand-pollinated one flower at a time in order to grow outside its native range, that people went so crazy for as soon as it was available that it displaced "cream" (as in "cookies and") as the default ice cream flavor.

>>42267790
>>42267985
Baseless vanilla libel aside, a lion has the capacity to be gentle; a mouse only has the capacity to be harmless. All else being equal, I'd rather a mare who occasionally pushes me outside my comfort zone than one I feel I need to walk on eggshells around to keep from stepping on her hoovesies (my comfort zone is staying in bed all day brushing her mane and smooching and cuddling her)

>>42265915
I fell too far behind in the update schedule a couple of years ago and haven't bothered to get caught up since then, but I imagine that #deca getting PLOWED LIKE AN APPLE FIELD by Anon's pony body double won't go over well with people who're bothered by that sort of thing, so glossing it like the other guy mentioned might be prudent, but on the other hand those people are going to be bothered by whatever you post anyway.
I respect you keeping on and not pussying out like literally everyone else.

>>42269614
>people who're bothered by that sort of thing
>those people are going to be bothered by whatever you post
Two different groups. Not wanting to see off topic stallion on mare action in the man x mare thread is reasonable.
Constant complainers gripe about everything for shits and giggles.

>>42268499
This, some playful experimentation can do a lot.

>>42265563
Because it justifies his victim complex

Mare maintenance is important.

>>42270415
You could say it's maretenance.

>>42267655
I like that a lot. Family business in Equestria is wholesome.

>>42267034
Have stronger wings softer feathers?

>>42270415
those cloven hooves probably need trimming too

>>42271576
Stronger wings are usually attached to mares more invested in taking care of themselves, wings included, so I'd expect them to be softer and fluffier, all else being equal.

>>42271602
Man, if they don't have angle grinders in Equestria, one of us is gonna get so fucking rich

>>42271979
Not 100% the same, but they do have something like this already.

>>42272147
It's literally an angle grinder minus the angle for ergonomic reasons. RIP my genius business plan

This is asking for an eardrum related mishap.

Seconding this. The occasional challenge in both directions is important, but has to stay within reason.

I will die alone.

You could probably drop the aside chapter here with it clearly labeled as such for those interested, like with the april fool's sidestory and just post the abridged version as usual. That way the people who want to read it will have it and those that don't can be fine with what's posted in-thread.

>>42273385
Yeah, I guess that's the best thing to do.

You'd have a day job over there, what would it be?

>>42274360
Probably working with your waifu in whatever her job is.

>>42274365
That doesn't work with every mare. It's hard to help a princess when you have little to no idea how Equestrian internals work.

>>42274488
Are you good a meaningless small-talk and listening to boring people? You could help her with managing the crowds at diplomatic functions.

Not really much to my liking, but I'd do it for her.

>>42274360
Nothing fancy, that's for sure. None of the stuff I do can be used in Equestria.

>>42276087
I'm sure that's not true

>>42276087
If you can do math and memorize arbitrary rules, you can be a tax accountant. If you've worked retail, you're already a PTSD-crippled thousand-yard stare veteran with no weakness, like Sheer Heart Attack. If you were taught the Dewey Decimal System in elementary school, you can probably be an apprentice librarian or something. You are probably selling yourself short.

>>42276664
>>42276087
>You are probably selling yourself short.
Entry level stuff won't be a problem. I meant most of the tasks that are done today are purely in a digital format. That doesn't fly in Equestria.

>>42274490
>Are you good a meaningless small-talk and listening to boring people?
Where do you think you are?

>>42276784
>I meant most of the tasks that are done today are purely in a digital format. That doesn't fly in Equestria.

I cant stop laughing at human mares. Look what they did to Rarity
Look at Twilight shes doing the you know I had to do it to em pose

>>42267709
>Me personally, I'd go for astronomy. Equestria's night sky is gorgeous.
It's not only gorgeous, it's also pure. Little to no light pollution means you'll see much more than you could see here, especially in densely populated areas. You'll have the time of your life there with your mare.

>>42278342
Welp, that image just gave me cancer.

>>42278342
I'm eternally glad that the worst artists are desperate to out themselves as fast as possible.

Imagine how one of them would look once you were done brushy-brushying her

>>42279043
With their thicker coat, they'd be extra fluffy and soft.

>>42278342
The person that thought turning Rarity into a pygmy needs to be hunted down, preferably by Rarity herself.

>>42266605
Wait hold on, I'm confused. So would you be mining while she's crafting? Or would the mining and crafting eventually merge so that you're crafting a mine?

>>42277804
They're pure and lovable.

>You are as long-lasting as the rest of us.
Well, this was the case even before this rejuvenation operation. Talking in the terms of an equestrian lifespan.
>So what's stopping you now?
Currently? Puking his guts out.
>What do you say?
Ask #deca.mare maybe?
>only need a few tools down there to manage everything from the surface
Do they even need tools? They can just switch from controlling the proxies to the virtual "world". Since none of them will be technically on the surface.
>I am sure she'll agree with our idea
Not without a bit of protesting.
>How long have you been over there?
She is everywhere. She does not need to be in the room to listen.
>Fresh from Equestria
Oh yea, they do run a lot more supply runs since there is 4 mouth (and one on infusion) to feed.
>how could I say no to that?
Oh, I totally expected a tiny bit of resistance.
>You'll need it soon, believe me.
Imagine being together for a millennia and they still only had kissed. But on the other hand they can never truly embrace each other in their normal form.
>Get ready for an adventure unlike any other
I mean, they already spent two century on Equestria.
>any mess on the command deck
Heh.
>more or less at the same time
Then none of them will have any time to work in the first few years.
>five centuries
Huh, I expected less.

>proxy on #deca.mare
Why not both? Anon impregnating #deca.mare, but once a while he can have fun using the proxy too (shooting blanks). Or at least impregnating in a sense of capturing sperm from the action afterwards.

Thanks for the update!

Mares will light the way.
Literally sometimes.

>>42276976
That hair is much longer than her usual mane.

>>42274490
Surely she wouldn't feel bored when we go to the gala together.

>>42280389
Apparently she has enough hair in there to get it styled like Rarity. Lots of possibilities.

>>42281049
>Spike falls in 'love' with Twilight because of the copied hair style
This goes to show how much their manes reflect their personality, at least in the eyes of others.

>When you wake up and notice that the Husbando Hunters have already extracted you

>>42281351
More like it goes to show how Spike's crush is entirely superficial because he's a baby.

>>42279639
>Missed opportunity for a Skyrim reference.
Yes, Ralof. To be honest, I didn't even think of that reference as I wrote the scene.
>I wouldn't be in the shape of having life changing discussions.
Well, discussing stuff is better than doing nothing. At the very least, it helps to distract oneself from the symptoms to a degree.
>More like a century or two.
In a way, yes, but also no. Of course, it is a commitment for a lifetime in a way, but Harmony is going to become an adult and independent after some time. Which means that the first decades, that is to say the foal and juvenile years, come with far greater responsibilities than the later ones.
>Well, this was the case even before this rejuvenation operation. Talking in the terms of an equestrian lifespan.
True. But now he has virtually no "expiration date", whereas his stasis in the cryo unit could only help to delay his aging. Now he is technically immortal too. Kind of, at least.
>Do they even need tools?
Not many. This will get addressed in the next chapter.
>She is everywhere. She does not need to be in the room to listen.
Her presence is somewhat limited in the crew quarters though, as she was originally not meant to track the crew. As such, she does not necessarily register everything that happens in there by default since she kept the original architecture of this segment mostly intact. And in the case of Anon, it was the machines which track his vitals that informed her of his awakening.
>Imagine being together for a millennia and they still only had kissed.
Well, they have done a bit more than that in the simulation. But yeah, it is not quite the same as doing something in the physical world.
>But on the other hand they can never truly embrace each other in their normal form.
Wouldn't that imply human on several-kilometres-long-space-ship action? I struggle to envision the logistics of that engagement. And yes, I still have the doodle of that scene.
>I mean, they already spent two century on Equestria.
Sure, but this refers to family life, especially in regard to them having an actual family of their own. It is a completely new perspective for Anon and #deca.mare alike.
>Then none of them will have any time to work in the first few years.
This will get covered in the next chapter too.
>Why not both?
Nothing speaks against that in theory. However, the replies in this thread have shown that stallion on mare scenes do not really mesh very well with the thread, even with all technicalities taken into consideration. It's why I'll go with the two parts approach as it was suggested, i.e. writing a general chapter which glosses over the stuff, plus one optional bonus addition with more detailed scenes for those who want it. I reckon that's a reasonable compromise for both sides.

>>42281637

>>42282080
>I struggle to envision the logistics of that engagement.
I don't
Deca is full of very useful user interfaces, I'm sure a her-shaped onahole could pop out of a floor anytime she wanted it to

Stallion on mare scenes do not belong here at all. This is man x mare thread for Christ's sake! I think you should drop posting your story here from this point on, if there's no man on mare action. It's crystal clear you have lost the plot and are now writing a stallion x mare story and have been doing so for way, way too long without anyone objecting when they damn should have!

>>42287431
The gooning has drivem these mares insane, made them all rapists. All there is to do is work, eat, and fuck and they've all turned into blackhearted degenerates.

>It's crystal clear you have lost the plot
Okay that one got a chuckle out of me. It's funny because the general plot (plus conclusion) has been planned out very early on in the writing process, and I know exactly where the story is meant to go. The only question is how long it takes to get there. And granted, I vastly underestimated this aspect of the process. I never thought that I would sit on this thing for years back when I started out. So thanks for the laugh, I suppose.

If someone is making repetitive posts that annoy you, just report them all one at a time until something gets done about it or they're all hidden. The threshold for "spam" is subjective and the worst that'll happen is you cop a warning because whoever was on the other end of the reports disagreed with you.
