^Yes, but now shes Derpys daughter, she interacts with canon characters, and her entire personality was made by fans. She's an OC, plane and simple. |

Derpy somehow is able to bake objects and turn them into people. Or ponies. Whatever. |

Fanon overtakes any kind of fanfiction character. Deal with it, Nyxfags. |

Anyone else think that this will be edited into another Dinky abuse comic, where Derpy puts Dinky into the oven... Again. |
| Hex-Master #428863 10 months ago |
@#428857
If they don't, Imma do it for them! But look on the bright side. Now we know WHY Derpy is always putting Dinky in the oven. She's not done cooking yet! |

@Everypony
Most OCs aren't accepted, but they aren't shunned either unless they interfere with the actual characters (which is why ones like Nyx generate such rage). The reason that Derpy and Dinky are not only accepted but beloved is because a) they aren't a single person's creation, rather the product of what can only be called the fandom hive mind, b) they are freaking adorable, which is more important to most people, and c) they are mostly separate from the actual characters, living their own lives. |

To say nothing of the fact that their situation induces heart-wrenching amounts of baaw. (Paging Foal Protective Services...) |
| DeeperMadness #428886 10 months ago |
It's worth pointing out that Derpy has become canonically derp-eyed as of "Feeling Pinkie Keen". She's not really OC either, but she has her fan stories just like everypony else. Derpy's just tend to be funnier. |
| Anonymous #428895 10 months ago |
None of what you said changes the fact they're OCs, along with legions of other accepted characters who have no lines and appear for perhaps 10 seconds in total. Interpretation often vary wildly with one authors take barely even resembling another version; because they have no personality or history beyond what a particular writer chooses to assign them, just like the vilified OC.
The long and short of it is that most people are closed mind cowards and will ape what louder and meaner people yell to avoid becoming targets themselves. Since the anti-OC people tend to be the loudest and least willing to just ignore stuff they might not be interested in there view naturally prevails among the sheep. |

So Derpy had a bun in the oven? |
| Anonymous #428963 10 months ago |
@428867 - Not to mention they still actually exist in the show, and have, in many ways, been accepted by the show's creator herself. |
| Anonymous #428973 10 months ago |
So as long as they are in the show for a microsecond it's ok, but if there coat is 1 shade off then it's >>49476. Good to know. |

I smell someone whose OC is so badly received they even abandon using the name here.

I think the first anon to mention "OC" was referring to the oven...
Either way, I think we can all agree that Dinky, a character that appears in the show, is canonically cute. Seriously, didn't you watch Winter Wrap Up? |
| Rasrap_Smurf #429028 10 months ago |
See, the big difference between fanon characters and OC ones is that most people in the fandom know who Derpy, Lyra or Carrot Top are. Even if their personalities are made up by the community, art of them can be appreciated by a lot of people.
Entirely OC characters are different in that more people won't recognise them at all. People don't like what they don't know, something like that. I don't dislike OCs, but it does irk me a lot that there are ones like Nyx who repeatedly get featured in drawfriend posts on EqD while many other OCs have to wait until there's an OC-specific drawfriend. Why are we even arguing about this. Were we arguing? I'm sorry. |
| furujiru #429033 10 months ago |
Good enough. |
| Fanloser #429036 10 months ago |
I agree with Rasrap_Smurf on this. |

I prefer think that Ditzy Doo uses the fact that people think she's 'special' to mess with their heads. |

First off, EqD is EqD, not Ponibooru. You got issues with the way EqD does things, complain to EqD.
Second, people are going to post stuff they like. People like Nyx, so you're going to see Nyx occasionally, even outside troll posts. There are plenty of mechanisms for the user to avoid Nyx pictures if they don't like her. Filter out the tag 'nyx'. Look at the thumbnails and don't click them if they look like they have Nyx in them. Don't feed the trolls posting Nyx content just to get a rise out of you. Be an adult about it and take responsibility for your own viewing habits. Now that's out of the way, let's get back to the post: Twilight is all, "Not sure if trolling." |

Derpy was a very lonely pony, so she kept herself busy baking cupcakes to take her mind off the loneliness. One day, however, while she was rolling out the pastry, a tear fell into it and got mixed in with the other ingredients. Unbeknownst to her, she just put the tray of muffins into the oven...but the batch of dough reacted to the tear and answered her call for company...
When Derpy came back to take the muffins out of the oven, she didn't know what awaited her - her love for muffins was strong enough to give birth to her very special "muffin". |

Well, if someone else made triplets from sugar, spice and everything nice I don't see why this is less possible. |

Derpy meant to put a tray of muffins in to bake, but she accidentally put a bun in the oven instead.
