To have a title of a random one off gag pony humorously nicknamed for a casual resemblance to an old meme?

I consider such things the true wonders of the internet.

You know I was kinda suprised to see there is a ponified lancer, or much F/SN pony at all.

If by xkcd you mean Homestuck, and by "a million leagues ahead of" you mean "about equal to" then your statement becomes factually correct.

Also I have to say I love ponies, but would feel horribly out of place in this thread, if I was here on a regular basis.

I wouldn't count Homestruck as a webcomic (going by the TV Tropes labels) I would place it under Web Original work.


Umm how do I shrink down an image? Do I have to download it, shrink it, and then reupload it?

Indeed, it is. I was referring more to how lonely it is to know that I'm apparently the only one.

Restricting the definition any further leads to some rather frightening implications from several conversations i've had. Starting with dragons and ending with venom.

@Prince

I'm totally going to play more with that image and crop out a better magnified view for my avatar in the morning.

Also seriously considering, if I remember about it, getting that put on a T-shirt.

Because AWESOME.
Aww, Thank you. And post a picture of the shirt if you make it.

Tangental, did you know that if I image search "Aotrs Commander Death Despoil", that picture with you and the giant Twilight is the first hit?
