I have feather on board so far

A quick question birb, the form you've been sending out, is it just to gauge interest or is it also serving as the signup sheet? (edited)

Bbbboth

09:10

I should rename it

Okay great, I think it may help to clarify that yeah

Yeah I just realized the interest check was the suggestion channel huh

09:11

Don't really need one of those

1

17:39

the MLP fandom really appreciated having wings in a way most fandoms dont

17:44

tacos currently have zero (0) players with wings

ok now that ive completed and sent my form i can feel less [???] about chatting in here now. speaking as someone whos more a fan of mlp on a larger scale and was very much not in a place to enjoy fim when it was coming out: [presses my face against the glass looking in on mlp toys with wings]

17:46

i was a big fan of the 2000s line and lemme tell ya. pegasus ponies were not a thing til i was on my way out

omg nooo tragic

i can still hear the butterfly island theme. we didnt really have unicorns either

17:49

this gal was my only ever pegasus pony. i still have her, and her gf

omg I love her

AWW

17:50

oh my god she smells like coconuts

bad pic but this is the gf. i call them gfs cause the info on the back said theyre best friends

yesss

thats 'pineapple paradise' incase the artifacting is making it hard to read. both still have their scent too!!

omg that's super lovely

17:51

what a silly gimmick lol

i have it on the authority of my auntie who was present when i got dream for xmas that she smells like a pina collada

17:52

it Is a silly gimmick but it sure worked. webkinz did that too

17:53

... i mean the assigned besties thing to be clear

My horse answer was v boring but it did remind me of this series of books I read a lot of as a kid called The Silver Brumby

ooh!

which were basically incredibly dramatic family sagas from the POV of these wild horses

omg it's warriors but honse

Who were THE MOST SPECIAL horses in the very special silver colour who were born in a THUNDERSTORM and had to learn LEADERSHIP to save their family

17:55

They were great

firehoof feathercolt darkmane

17:55

omg great

before we move too far and it ends up being too interruptive: i dream of owning.... her, someday

whoaaaaaa love it

Ohh she’s beautiful

17:57

Here is just a snapshot of characters from the silver brumby Wikipedia page

17:57

Look at that drama

THE BROLGA

i feel like i could have read this in my horse phase

I’m still stuck on Ghost Stallion I do not remember that at all

['we've all seen it' tone] theres always a ghost stallion /j

the BROLGA sounds like a blaseball side character

it’s a v good villain name

the tacos can have a ghost horse as a treat

1

Put it in lore preserves haha

The Brolga is a sexton ghost. a parallel sexton who just hangs around and is really foreboding. sexton is SO PISSED about it

hahhahahaha

it's a Sexton who got angery

18:00

like, justifiably angy

its the horse to human sextons. not horse

"I was killed by a vindictive--" "GROW UP DUDE I GOT BIT BY PARANORMAL SHARKS TWICE" "uh" "GOD" "im sorry" "YOURE INSUFFERABLE IS WHAT YOU ARE" "bad time?" "IM A HORSE DUDE"

4

spooky voices: ooooh I am the ghost of sexton future. this is your fate if you continue down this path ohhhh

secret Santa just turns into sending horses to each other

My favorite horse is shadowfax

GOOD horse

i didn't put a cw against horses so im horse free

excellent horse

horse could hit me

18:02

i put long scuttles as my favorite horse

1

You did

theyre truly precious to me

my answer was misty of chincoteague . with clever hans as backup

shadowfax machine

18:05

nice

When I was a kid I grew up w/o tv but I read a lot and my mom read to me a lot and I was obsessed with LOTR and made my brother play rohirrim with me more than once which was literally just me running around with a fireplace poker pretending it was a horse and every once in a while I'd run up and it him with it

kilozombĳ

i put long scuttles as my favorite horse

I love him...

hi sorry but id really like to share with yall about clever hans. heres a photo of him with his handler

:o

18:48

We love a smart boy

quote from his wikipedia page: "Hans was said to have been taught to add, subtract, multiply, divide, work with fractions, tell time, keep track of the calendar, differentiate between musical tones, and read, spell, and understand German."

Aw

he was even in the new york times in 1904! famous fellow

hans!!

18:50

this is a good horse thank you for sharing

yw!! i learned about him in a book of collected true horse stories when i was a kid

True horse stories....

hans doesn't actually know math, but he was incredibly good at reading people and now has a psychological effect named after him! v. good horse

Aw

yeah hans is a like, case study in why double blind studies are required for science!

yes!! i know less about that cause the book i read was vintage and written for children but its still very interesting

19:00

my other fav horse answer, misty of chincoteague, was also a real horse. she was born to a feral pony but raised mostly in captivity and there was a book written based on the story of the family who raised her

oooh

19:01
