Whatever happened to Lonely Inky?
Why did the show potray her as Fluttershy 2.0 and not as qt emo?
discuss.
>>28734926
Why does her ear look like a vagina?
>>28734975
crippling depression symptom
>>28734926
That poner looks like she needs a hug
>>28734926
>Why did the show potray her as Fluttershy 2.0 and not as qt emo?
Emos are not a good role model for little girls.
Remember the main public for series?
>>28735078
Marble who is socially retarded in her current state a good role model?
Wew lawd. Not every character needs to be a role model, some of the are just characters, role models should be the main characters.
little lewdy now.
>>28734926
Blog's pretty much finished m8. Other than all the nice porn LonelyCross/talking-for-nothing's been doing, there hasn't been much.
>Why did the show potray her as Fluttershy 2.0 and not as qt emo?>Fluttershy 2.0
Anon please.
Dunno, although it would've been interesting to see canon Marble with a Lonely Inky-esque personality.
>>28735299
How is the blog finished though? Kind of lost track of it.
And yeah, calling her Fluttershy 2.0 was a hyperbole, I was just hoping for something more interesting, what they gave us is kind of unniteresting. She had the potentional to took Maud away fom attention, instead that did not happen.
>>28735307
it was an open finish
for me it ended onsuicide
>>28735307
It's been quite some time since I read it, but it had something to do withher waking up from a dream, and just quit recording. Anything after that is pretty much left to the reader.
And yeah, Marble felt like a missed opportunity in canon. At the very least her personality is still vague enough, though, allowing for plenty of headcanons.
>>28735317
Doesn't look like a suicide to me.
Lonely Inkie has WITH_TEETH poster on the wall at some point. The album ends with this song which asks the same questions about reality.

>>28735338
pinkamena was a big red flag for me on that time
every "dark" blog wanted to do something with her and usually it was always the "cupcake" Pinkamena
fuck that
>>28735324
I don't get why they gave Maud two of her own episodes and Marble does not get any for herself.
>>28735417
Me neither.And Limestone could use some, too, for that matter.
Suddenly pony Trent Reznor, kek.
>>28735464
Maud is my favorite pony of the Pie sisters, but seeing the rest getting so ditched really made me kind of sad.
>>28735464
Lime at least had dialogue.
>>28735465
Yeah.
I also feel like it kinda runs the risk of making Maud fee a bit stale. She's great and all, but I don't think she's not really the kind of character you can always have on the spotlight, imo.
>>28735497I kinda like the idea of Marble not really talking much, though.
>>28735513
Not talking at all is little bit too much for me. It's kind of like Maud always talking in monotone and never showing emotions or changing her voice, which does happen, rarely and subtly but it does. If Marble ever makes a bigger apperance hopefully she will have more of personality.
Same applies to Maud, really. It never hurts to expand upon characters, look how much expansion Big Mac got over years
>>28735515
I didn't really mean to say I want her to be a full-on mute, just that she's generally quiet.
Still, what you say is true.
>>28735536
Maud was treated pretty well so far, but if they would ever use Maud again they would have to do something special with her, something unexpected, maybe reveal something about her, I dunno.
Or just use Lime/Marble instead, it would suck of people getting sick of Maud since she is a very good character with amazing potentional. All pie sisters doo.
>>28735548
Ye.
Even just having an episode of Maud interacting with either, or maybe both, Marble and Limestone could be good enough. There's plenty of potential in there to expand not just on their characters, but also their relationship.
>>28735579
That is true too. Only relationship we know anything about regarding Maud is her and Pinkie.
We know that Pinkie and Marble are born minutes apart and that Pinkie seems to be "taking care" of her. Helping her to express herself. That is it.
Pinkie seems annoyed by Lime and by her grumpy personality.
The only interactions Marble and Lime had (talking only sister wise now) were between Pinkie. We have no idea what Lime or Marble thinks of Maud. And so on. I guess S7 could help us with that. Maybe.
What is Inky's favorite NIN album? Judging from color pallate and the poster its With Teeth
>>28734926
Ask The Pie Sisters portrayed her as pretty much identical to the version we saw in Hearthbreakers, and that blog was rather popular, so it influenced a few other fan interpretations of the character. It might have had an effect.
>>28735659
I would prefer Lonely Inky type more. Much more interesting. She'd be an unique character like Maud
>>28735670
The fact that she and Pinkie are twins is interesting in its own right.
>>28734926
Ever since she appeared as grown up I've considered Lonely Inky to simply be her filly/teen phase. It's nice to pretend she's simply grown out of the depression, but has some of her old self within somewhere.
>>28735683
You don't really grow out of diagnosed depression.
>>28735691
Right. Grew out of the emo phase then.
>>28735957
Sounds better. Lonely Inky always seemed diagnosed to me than emo. Calling her an emo just because she has hair over her eye is a meme.
>>28735986
The main thing that makes her look emo is the collar. That's hardly a normal thing for just generally depressed people.
>>28735998
Doesn't she wear that because she just finds it arousing?
>>28736014
Don't all emos?
>>28736019
I don't think they wear it for sexual reasons.
Are you telling me I'm emo?
>>28736026
Do you wear it around people or just when you're alone or about to have sex?
>>28736033
Just for sex
>>28736051
Then I wouldn't call you an emo, personally. Just kinky.
>>28736124
Even though I would casually, I just realize that going to public places may be too awkward for me and I'd be insecure with it.
>>28736137
If you consider yourself emo you are emo. No need to ovethink it
>>28736272
> why DID you TOLD them???
C'mon Inky
bum
Will the show ever discuss clinical depression to teach kids to take it seriously?
>>28735417
The same can be said about Limestone andCelestia contrasting to Luna
>>28737001
The show is really weird with this one.
>>28736974
No, they just have to be themselves and consume as much as thry can to be happy.
>>28737288
> But Ponk, I have depression
"Don't be silly anon! Just be ursef!"
> But Ponk
> credits roll
>>28737356
There is no way this show could look at subject like depression, it's a kids show.
>>28734926
If I removed the collar, would she die?
>>28737952
It would be extremelly un-lewd
>>28734926
If I remember correctly the artist just kind of got bored of her, but most importantly got overwhelmed with college.
>>28738567
I feel like that the ending was supposed to lead on into something more. Where else can I get my depressing pony stories kicks now from?
I also adored how Lonely Inky's blog had this very "Nine Inch Nailsy" feel about it, the color that is used throughout reminds me of With_Teeth almost throughout it all.
Fandom generally doesn't have tons of NiN in general.
>>28738592
The whole feel of the blog was the fucking best.
Setting was good, too. I really enjoyed the urban look mixed in with an almost street-esque atmosphere. The color choice was also pretty great, giving it a somewhat melancholic/depressing feel, while still being "comfy" in a way.
>>28738689
The color choice is what I'd discribe as "peace in sadness" or whatever Kurt said, something like that.
>>28738731
That's a pretty good way to describe it, yeah.
>>28738592
I know that there were a lot of PMVs featuring NIN recently, that's it really.
>TFW you remember when pony blogs were something else than a platform for typical tumblrtards
>People rolled out a hundred different character interpretations and stories around them
>Nobody got assblasted about them; every different look was just an excuse to try something different
>Every little detail and background character was just more fodder for the imagination
The golden age of tumblrpon was really an amazing thing. It still hurts that it's passed.
>>28734926
Because she's shit
>>28740880
The show Marble is, yeah.
You niggas realize that there is a new blog for Inky?
http://asklonelyinky.tumblr.com/
>>28741278
Looks interesting, different artist and art style, seems active though.
Which other pony do you think would lend themselves to this sort of similar feel? Side characters, maybe?
>>28741527
Maud Pie?
>>28741548
The thing with Maud is that she's overwhelmingly neutral, not really melancholic. She's got a really flat affect.
>>28741527
S1Luna
>>28741587
She can only seem that way, it can be possible she is depressed, I'd work if you wanted to do it with her. We've never seen how Maud is when she is alone and no one sees her
>>28741602
This would be nice, yeah.
>>28741613
You've got a good point actually, I didn't consider that.
>>28741527
Scoots?
>>28741613
>>28741631
Let's think about Maud.
I doubt she had any friends at school and I seriously doubt she wasn't bullied at some point in her life.
I have serious doubts about her fighting back, she strikes me as some one who would fight for others, not for herself, I doubt she would use her strenght to fight others just when needed, seeing how Maud doesnot understand ponies she would be just confused why she is picked on and why no one wants to be with her.
Let's also add on the fact that even in her adult life she doesn't properly know what is approriate in social situations and not, she is fully aware she can't express herself, it must be pretty painful for people never exactly knowing what you feel.
Look at Maud in her own episode when she meets Pinkie's friends, her eyes show signs of discomfort and confusion. Especially when Dash asks her how did she manage to throw the rock that far.
It would be totally possible to write a story about Maud dealing with depression without being able to tell it to any one properly.
>>28741739
Fair enough. You clearly thought about this one a lot.
c'mon bum
The fact the blog seems to take so much of stuff from NIN made me love it itself
How do you think Inky would react after listening to the Hospice album by The Antlers?
>>28745968
How would she react to Nine Inch Nail's Hesitation Marks?
I think she'd dig it.
>>28747101Wasn't Hesitation Marks shit? It's been quite some time since I last listened to it but I don't recall it being very good.
I dunno though. Maybe she would, since she kinda does seem to be into the more modern-ish stuff.
What about the older albums, though? Like The Downward Spiral or The Fragile.
Or more "experimental" stuff, like Ghosts.
>>28736278
LonelyCross is from Poland or something if I remember correctly. English not first language.
>>28745968
Too emo for her.
>>28740829
Totally agree.
This was also at a time when the fandom hadn't crystallized completely and it was also growing FAST. There was a lot of openness and a minimum of cliques in the community still, which lead to some of the most amazing content and crossovers, etc.
Man, the feeling of discovering different ideas for characters and different spins on what to take and leave from canon was just amazing. I've tried a few times to get back on that whole train but most of the people who remember Crooked are doing graduate studies now or have jobs, etc. The energy and flavor of most blogs seems to have changed considerably from when things were really crazy in like early 2013.I remember being super hyped for Yawg07's blog (pic related), but he got in a bit late so there were only 3 posts or so.Alsoecmajor's bandaid story was pretty alright.
>>28735249
What does the H represent?
Doesn't make sense.
>>28734926
Because emos are degenerate.
>>28747207
Hesitation Marks was really good actually, at least in my opinion. People will be very mixed about NIN when it comes to stuff after The Fragile.
I'd put it above With_Teeth, Year Zero and The Slip in a heart beat, making it by third favorite album. First one being The Downward Spiral and second one The Fragile.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uzYmoDRKsI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckdZ7E-vP9M
These are my favorite tracks from the album. I like every track from the album, even Everything, just like all Nine Inch Nails stuff it just really has to grow on you.
I think Inky would like The Downward Spiral and The Fragile. If she is a fan of Nine Inch Nails it's hard to see her not liking those two albums, they are pinnacles of Trent's works. They don't feel out dated sound wise, especially The Fragile where most of the album's songs could come out today and no one would know how actually old it is.
>>28748939
At least emos can speak like normal fuctioning beings unlike canon Marble.
Nobody remembers profound autism Maud we invented because real Maud they actually went with has that weirdly fuckable Courtney Love voice.
>>28749530
We were imaginating Maud as low functioning autist, we got high functioning one. I think it's a pretty nice trade off.
>>28741278
I wonder if this'll become a regular thing, long-dead pony blogs being revived by new artists. We've seen a bit of it with Loona already.
I'd like to see more.
>>28749543
I'd be cool as longa s they can keep up the quality or be loyal to the character the original blog presented.
>>28749452
I hadn't really listened to anything beyond With Teeth and want to thank you for for "I Would For You". Though I drank a rather lot of scotch before posting. I did miss his voice, though, the voice of my bus-riding angst younger self really.
Also I swear Yorke and Rezor have the most imitated voices of this era of music. So many people try to sound like them and they just don't.
>>28749452
I see. I'll give the album a re-listen at one point.
>>28750113
I'd recommend it personally, like all NIN albums it has to kind of grow on you, I can't tell you how long it took me to get used to The Downward Spiral.
>>28750068
The reason why you can't really imitate Reznor's voice all that well is because when he recorded The Downward Spiral and especially The Fragile it was from his own thoughts and he was sincere, you can tell he is sharing some very personal stuff in his music ever since his first album; The Pretty Hate Machine.
He said that new NIN should be coming this year, recently he said he is happy with it how it goes. Wonder what he's cooking up.
The most recent work from him is "Minute To Breathe" it's really awesome, has a lot of The Fragile and "And All That Could Have Been" vibes especially in vocals and lyrics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwwQ4uVGGSE
>>28748921
"Nine Hoof Nails," I'd assume (even though I'm quite sure that we've heard them use 'inches' in canon).
>>28750296
>albums have to grow on you
Yep. I'm probably the most diehard listener of NIN of my friends and they all listened to With Teeth like once and hated it but I gave it some time and it's become of one my favorites... Right Where It Belongs always brings tears.
>New things this year
More Year Zero AR fucking WHEN?!
>>28750764
Exactly dude, Right Where It Belongs does the same to me, every time. I think it won't, but then that fucking piano at the end. I don't know what it is, but that piano almost seems like a release, release from pain and other stuff Trent dealt with.
I'd go as far to say Right Where It Belongs is the best way he ever closed an album, surpasses even Hurt for me.
bum
How would you help her with her depression, anons?
