Hey MBM, figured you'd like these:

I feel a little bit honored that I'm the only one on the thread who gets imageposts dedicated to him on a pretty much regular basis. I used to do the same thing for Nerevar with cool Celestia pictures, but he's not very active anymore so I've stopped.

Nice pics. Never seen those two before, which actually is a hard thing for me to say involving Octavia pics (especially since I remember each one I see). And, following on that theme, here's some human Tavi pics from the same artist who did the Lyra mermaid and human Octotavia thing I posted before:

Spoiler:

He has more, and he also runs a human Tavi blog, but I won't post such stuff here because he's a perv.

Darn you D= You're gonna make me an Octi fan too... (not saying it's a bad thing, mind you)

1. She's mine, damn it.
2. I don't like the nickname "Octy." It sounds dumb--like using "Celly" for Celestia. That's why I always use "Tavi."

Also, despite all the other cool stuff that's supposed to happen, I still have to say that Octavia potentially having a speaking part is what is most exciting me about S3. Depending on just how superamazing that is, I think it will permanently place Tavi above Twilight as best pony always and forever.

Anyway, I'm not even looking at any leaked info anymore, so we'll just have to wait and see.

I WOULD post a tavi human, but I realized that the same artists who make Rainbow Dash human pics like Octavia and Vinyl. AKA: There is no such thing as clothes.

so have a Derpy I'm just very strangely a fan of (Despite any reason) a decent Scratch and an okay Octavia:

Actually, forget it. Have their whole DA. I love them.

Look, I don't care but Octy and Celly is now my OCP.

I was kinda on the fence about using Celly, but after seeing how much it annoyed you I started using it to troll you. Glad to know it wasn't in vain.

Derpy. I think that's enough said.

Fun fact: Since Octavia has no real character, I like pretty much any non-ridiculous interpretation of her. Thus, there is no such thing as a bad Tavi humanization for me.

I do appear to have preferences for Vinyl, though, because I don't really care for the one in that pic. Hmm.

Always sort of suspected that was the reason. It wouldn't be any fun if I didn't play along, though.

Derpy was easy to make ridiculous, but Octavia has pretty set lines and they would be outstandingly stupid to deviate from them. I like to think that they're not outstandingly stupid, and that they learned a thing or two from The Last Roundup.

Plus, Cathy Weseluck threw together an impression completely on the spot that was very good. I think that bodes well.

[Nerevar]

Yay, Octavia!

Spoiler:

I don't care if any of those are old, well known, or have been posted before.

I have solid hopes for Octavia (possibly) speaking in season three. If she does, I don't think Hasbro will botch it, like they did with Derpy. Even though she's entirely normal and regular as a pony, and even her fanon has only stretchered to be nothing more than normal, she's just so amazing and loveable. For a long time I juggled her, Twilight, and Celestia. Now I have my order set, but if her appearance is really good she may just surpass Twilight, as far as canon is concerned.

Oh, and Octy is a terrible nickname; which is exactly why I believe Vinyl would continue calling her that.

I would say that you're my clone, but I know you're older than me. Thus, in so many years I figure out the secret of time travel, come back to this time, and become Nerevar.

Part of this doesn't bode well, though, because apparently I don't become comfortable with my drawing skills in all that time >.<

Edit: The collapse of the fandom, and/or the persecution of bronies in the future drives me back, and I attempt to experience everything again when it was new. It all makes sense!

Well, yeah. One of the only times I've ever accepted it was when Vinyl called her that all throughout the Vinyl Scratch tapes, and Octavia hated it.

If Lord Dom was here, he could probably argue this, but I can't. Make decent background characters.

Oh wow, an entire page dedicated to Octavia, this is so splendorous. I'd like to find some Octavia pics but I fear they'll all be already posted here.

Yeah after one internet battle I think it's safe to say they've learned from that little experience. They should be able to handle this, although that's if she even gets a line at all. I mean Lyra only spoke one line and that was at the very end of season two. But I think I'm just being pessimistic there.

I don't know, sounds alright to me. I have trouble pronouncing Tavi anyway, it doesn't roll off my tongue as well. But I'm sure it's a good nickname.

Random fanfic ideas reaching my mind. I might write a one-shot over fat american day's turkey break

You also become a pervert, then. And no, I do practice, but with college I have little free time to enjoy more productive things. Reading is typically the only one, and that's due to it requiring much less effort than drawing or writing.

Spoiler:

I drew that a while ago. It was a super quick sketch. I have become better since, though. My curves have improved. I didn't want to post anything here until my work was actually flattering to the eye. I'm still better on paper, to which I did post some drawings about a year ago.

I still never finished those. I was enjoying it, but at the time it wasn't stimulating enough. I think a better story was out the time and I read it instead, then forgot about The Vinyl Scratch Tapes. There are a lot of good fanfics I never had time to read last year.

It is entirely plausible for Octavia to be arrogant and stuffy, and I like those versions too.

There's more, but like I said, I'm not going to post it here.

So, who remembers that humanized manga thing I posted before? Well, the second part is out, but I must warn you: the person who translated it from Spanish this time didn't do as well a job, meaning it all sounds a little silly. If you can read Spanish at all (I can't), I suggest you read the untranslated version instead.

Ooh. Beyond the obviously sketchy quality to it, that's really good. And I understand about not posting until you feel you're good enough--that's why my dA only has two sketches.

I can read Spanish. Feck yes time to read.

Edit: Ah yes, the nostalgia of reading something in Spanish.

The problem is that this person is translating Spanish to English. It's the same reason sticking something into google translator comes out funny, we don't speak the same. We aren't using two vocabularies, we have two different languages.

In Spanish, everything is so much clearer and nicer. You have actual character this time around. I wuv it.

I got one: I have defended the fandom in the past and continue to do so. There were two other versions but both balanced rabid with regular. I got a bingo on one, but there was nothing horribly wrong with the one I did.

The second part was translated by a different person. That's why the quality shifted.

So, I had a dream last night that it was Saturday, but I slept in until 7:00 p.m. (probably had something to do with the fact that I was kept up by the dogs barking until stupid-o'-clock in the morning). When I actually did wake up, and saw the sun shining through my window, my first thought was "Yes! I can still see it!"

... But it's Friday.

I know, that's what I meant. It almost seems like he used Google translate...

And while we're on the subject of comics, I just found out that the release date of the legit comic book by IDW is set at Nov. 28th. Is anyone planning on buying it? Because I'm just going to wait until after and see if I can find it free online.

Yup. Having dreams about it.

I find it funny that, even though I'm not quite as excited for new episodes anymore, Saturdays are still just as exciting for me since I discovered Romantically Apocalyptic (which updates on Saturdays). That was in my dream, too, by the way: I sat back and thought "Oh well, at least I still get RomAc."

Edit:

Spoiler: New episode leak stuff

Really? A cup with a cartoony face and limbs? I pray that's not as stupid in context as it seems.
