I promised myself I'd stop reading the sad/bittersweet pony fics.

But I'm afraid I might have to do this...

I'm not going to go too far into it, but if you pay attention there's some evidence in the show that Derpy isn't the exactly all there. There's the part where she drops all that stuff from the delivery, and in one scene, she's the last in the crowd to gasp.

Derpy's eyes are quantum-locked. They don't look straight when they're being observed. They moment they are seen by any other living creature, they point in different directions. No choice, it's a fact of her biology, in the sight of any living thing, they literally derp out.

^^ They are fast. Faster than you can believe. Don't turn your back, don't look away and don't blink. If you do, she will see you.

^ And now that song's in my head again.

I think of Derpy as a Cloudcuckoolander, but not particularly stupid.
I love my hat

Yeah, that's how I tend to think of her, too.

I guess she could be something like Osaka?

Sata andagi! Muffins!

But I guess she was kind of stupid, too.

Anyway, I think it's likely that she's the same as the "Ditzy Doo" character mentioned in Winter Wrap Up who went north to get the southern birds. If that's the case, I don't think she's likely to be all that intelligent.

Thumped? Why?

What you have possibly said in this pony thread?

[up][up]Derpy Osaka!

Do want.

That's not a mod thump, that's a devious self-thump.

(And this is precisely why we don't like people doing that.)

^^ Then why not add a specific tag for self-thumping so people can thump their own posts if they think better of them?

There is one. It's called highlighting all the text in your post and pressing backspace.

No, if you do that the text is gone forever. A thump tag preserves the original text, but hides it from the public view.

There are other ways of doing that.

Enclosing the text you want to hide in double percent signs is one of them.

Fucking around with the numlist markup is another.

With [civil], [offtopic], and whatnot, do the mods even use the generic thump anymore?

^^^ Rarely, but it still looks official and is easily mistaken for a mod thump.

Besides, now you sometimes get people doing ^^ that.

I'm starting to think non-mod thumping should be a punishable offense.

But that has nothing to do with ponies, so instead, here's a comic with an owl in it.
