For what everyone says is a dead site, it seems to me that tumblr still has a lot of interesting content still coming out. Still got some legs! But the era of Ask Blogs has become a niche, and I will say that this blog was one of the better examples of the kind.
I, uh, thanks! I never really considered it better or worse, I was just having fun with a project and seeing where it went

Death shine : hello fellow. Knights Guards. Men... Sorry I was told to make friends with other guards, its night to meet you both
( Sorry, the blog is sort of in this winding down mode. No more role-play, just explaining parts I never got to, such as why Luna was never nightmare moon in Westy's dimension, and why that dimension's Discord there was what destroyed that dimension)

OH SHIT WHADDUP OG ASK PONY BLOG FAM, WELCOME BACK TO DEAD WEBSITE
Yay dead website! Holy crap are there a lot of memories from here, but it'd be foolish to try to somehow live in the past from it

It's so awesome to see you on here again! Having you joking around again and seeing the fanart of Adamant & Westwood is really cool.

Glad to see that this tumblr is still around! And very impressed to see that you have notes and a story bible document. That puts you ahead of at least 90% of authors. Please consider posting your notes if you do decide to wind down the blog, as I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd find them fascinating!
I am winding down the blog, and fighting the same procrastination and anxiety about posting stuff as the procrastination and anxiety about posting an update back when I stopped making strips

Sorry to hear about the RL situation. The MLP movie has its flaws, but is still worth watching. I'd be very interested in a link to a story bible if you put it on dropbox or gdocs or the like.
I'm actually interested in watching it and seeing what they do since they take G4 into lore. I should probably finish watching the new Transformers trilogy too. Gotta make sure Best Pony is still there
I do have a story bible, but I have to make sure I don't have any personal information in it, as it does contain chat logs as well

Just wanna mention I blame this blog entirely for introducing me to the concept of SCP Foundation of which I'm now obsessed with. It was a slippery slope all along
Mwahahaha. I have succeeded in my goals

Since Tirek and Nightmare moon are WCP's, does that mean the Mane Six have done the job of the Archivists, or is their style of neutralization different from what Adamant and Westwood do?
Yup!

They're considered a task force, and given how Twilight was their intern, it's all good
Of course, they use magic and friendship, where the bat ponies can use vorpal wings and combat. Because manly! or something. I dunno

Was there or is there and end goal to this little story, or has that changed due to the combination of parody and the inherent interactivity of this strange site?
Originally there was no end goal, but two emerged:
1. Explain any plot holes and oddities if you incorporate all of MLP, and by referencing Grimlock, all of G1 Transformers and Beastwars, and because the G1 TF has had crossovers with GIJoe, add that too
2. Tell Westwood's story as a means of me working out my own feelings. I think I'll move the art reflecting life bit elsewhere, but there were two endings. If I finished before G4 ended, it was going to be a happy ending where Westy deals with his demons. If I was unable to finish, LCP-7391 was going to rip its way from Westy's dreams into the dimension and basically be a down ending. I chose option 3, to stop at a cliffhanger because dammit, I kind of painted myself into a corner. That and the RL situation that spawned them had changed significantly

Has your list of WCPs had as much variation and change as the mainline SCP's of our world?
So I did treat WCP numbers in a less random way than SCP, given that they're a wide variety of authors. At first, I was random about my numbers, or rather, it was fourth wall meanings. Humanity was WCP-1984 because that's the year the movie/pilot came out for MLP. Grimlock was 2005 because that's the year Transformers: The Movie was set in. But as time went on, I made a rule that these numbers were in chronological order of discovery. The only WCP that matches up to its SCP counterpart is 008. SCP-008 was zombies, WCP-008 was the legend of the blanks copypasta.
So here's my file about WCPs. It didn't have anything about LCP-7391, and I can't remember exactly why it was 1937, but that might be the year about quasars or magnetars, given the nature of it
WCP-000 - term for any threat that does not have an entry yet
WCP-001 The SCP archives themselves.
WCP-001L : Westwood’s LCP-001 (copy of WCP-001)
WCP-008 Sunny town (Legend of blanks - SCP008 is zombies)
WCP-031-j (question about it?)
WCP-035 Dischordian Era Images —Scraps from currentday earth
WCP-044 King Sombra
WCP-079 Golden horseshoes
WCP-081 Discord in the Harmonic Era — Statue, containment scanners
WCP-101 Declassified and class 1, requires cream to avoid infection
WCP-110 (Question about it not being contained?)
WCP-144 Tirek
WCP-145 Scorpan
WCP-173 (Two questions about it, sounds keter?)
WCP-246 ( I HAVE FORGOTTEN COMPLETELY WHAT THIS IS )
WCP-301 Portal to a fully-corrupted Terraria (due to question referencing demonite)
WCP-302 to 309: enemies in Terraria; 303 and 309 are Keter/Euclid.
WCP-310: Demonite Ore (50g used in badges, 2KG used in NMM’s helm)
WCP-314 Nightmare Moon
WCP-333 Smiling Guard
WCP-446 The Smily hand (?)
WCP-508 The sandwich that wants to be eaten
WCP-600 Predischordian Autoreplicant Sample — Sample of the smooze.
WCP-619 Pegasi Papilious (Predischordian, Extinct) — Flutterponies.
WCP-666 evidence of G 3.75 ponies
WCP-681 "Boring as hay" to read? (question about it?)
WCP-681 (Question about it?)
WCP-705 Clay things?
WCP-747 (Question about it? Someone's grandpa won't shut up about it)
WCP-777 (Question about it?)
WCP-902 (Question about it?)
WCP-963 (Question about it? Classified and undisclosed. Somehow related to Westwood)
WCP-993 (Tinkerbox wants it returned)
WCP-650 Rainbow of light from G1 — origin of Harmony
WCP-1505 (Everfree triangle—three trees that serve as uncontrolled dimensional portal)
WCP-1543 Predischordian Astrophyics Documents — Copernicus, where the earth goes around the sun.
WCP-1959 Star Scroll’s scroll (WCP-1959-1) and her statue (WCP-1959-2), (Love potion #9 was written in 1959.)
WCP-1983 Rainbow of Light
WCP-1984 Bipedal Nonpony (Predischordian, Mythos) — Humankind (1984 was when the first MLP movie aired)
WCP-1991 ? Used for safe containment?
WCP-1992 ? Used for safe containment?
WCP-2005 Grimlock — Joke ref. (2005 was the setting for the animated movie)
WCP-2323 (Question said: I heard that it is very dangerous and scary as hell)
WCP-2981 The Alicorn amulet
WCP-3505 the soap box of truth (505=SOS)
WCP-3707 — Killer joke (lol upside down) 3707-1 is Pun Pony, 3707-2 is seal.
WCP-3808 - Bass canon, after the Roland TS-808.
WCP-3817 Spaceship that Lulamoon found with a space-faring fox. Noncanon.
WCP-3852 Slendermane/Slenderpony.
WCP-3908 Changelings. (908 is a smiley ick face)
WCP- Evidence of G2 tech rise
WCP- Fossil Record of (Predischordian)
WCP- Bushwoolies - Potential Parasprite Ancestor?
WCP- Controlled dimensional portal between Equestrias
WCP- Fossil Evidence of zombie/undead/really bad reason for black magic
About WCP1984: Humanity. The numbering was joke-based, but comes long after copernicus and the like, especially since WCP-001. So we have to claim that, like mammoths, they were unknown, maybe mythical, then with WCP-001, only the SCP entries were thought real (IE, the exception, not the norm, and even then these were later discoveries), then with WCP-600, long lost long before ponies, then with 1984, proof that they lived alongside ponies. With currentday interdimensional travel, it could be possible there’s humans in Equestria, but because of show canon, they are NOT in Nightguard Equestria.
About WCP650: Rainbow of light. In g1, it defeated enemies, could dispel clouds, kept in locket. G1 pegusi did not have weather control. In g4, it’s generated by the ponies. Therefore, somehow the RoL was diffused into ponies at some time. It requires 2 of each pony type (alicorns count as 1 of all 3) to bring back. Luna+Celestia could do it. Mane 6 can do it. Celestia solo drained the resonance crystals (the physical aspects) as well as herself when banishing NM. Ironically enough, this infusion is also how RD can generate a rainbow while flying, and is also how Rainbow Factory (not in Night Guard timeline) could work.
Oooh. Rainbow of Darkness: Related to black holes?

Has the designation WCP-173 been assigned yet?

WCP-681 IS boring as hay. Trust me, I read it. Now if you excuse me, I got to review a few more stolen classified WCP documents I got from your vaults.
mercenarymewtwo asked:
Hey, guys? I think one of your inters may have taken one of my items from the more secure vaults in my facility. Can you please use either WCP-1991 or 1992 for safe containment and trasport back to me? Francesca is on the warpath here so if you could please hurry? We both know what she's like when she angry, even if it is cute.
geminispades asked:
Hey you got those artifacts right? They need to be analyzed and shut away for safety reasons. Also how is WCP-777 doing i trust you are taking good care of it?

askdreambaker asked:
How has development of distributing SCP-999 to the general public been going. Has development stopped all together? Has it happened before that a SCP has been deemed to be Safe but is later proven to be Euclid or even Keter level?
Anonymous asked:
Have you come across any dangerous memetic threats? Here in my world, we came across one, titled SCP-370. It's a [Meme Expunged] Damn it, the symptoms are showing. I'm sorry, the goal of this missive is to inform you as to why communications will be cut following it. The original author has been terminated. I will soon, as expunging the meme infected me, and I'll be damned if I kill anyone else over this. I will be setting off the explosives immediately. Fare well, brothers.

SCP 231. Now THAT is the stuff of nightmares.

Have either of you been into the SCP-087 facility?
NightGuardMod: So Smiling Guard went WCP before or after Nightmare Moon?
SmilingGuard: Shortly after, about a month.
NightGuardMod: That'd put Smiling in the 300s.
NightGuardMod: NMM is 314.
SmilingGuard: Sweet, so Smiling himself would be in the 300's. Would the masks be higher or one of those hyphenated numbers.
Lyingapplejack: you are srawing backy right?
NightGuardMod: I'm a derp. Masks?
NightGuardMod: Oh. The masks Smiling uses? hyphen.
NightGuardMod: Smiling is 333. It's half of 666.
Mademoiselle Rarity: yeah
SmilingGuard: Nice.
NightGuardMod: So Smiling is WCP-333-1. The masks are WCP-333-2 and on.
SmilingGuard: Yeah the masks are fragments of his memories. Going to be a lot of them coming in. Better get a big crate.
NightGuardMod: Writing this down.

So Westwood. You still flying about to clear your head?
I really could not think of what to follow it up with. I tried "Adamant meets DayDream" to introduce her, or "Adamant talks about bat ponies" which is why I commissioned so much art of other bat pone; they were to be photographs in the comic
Westwood never got his degree at Miskatrottic, because of LCP-7391 happening before graduation. So his work in the LCP reserves, growing up with Manzanita who was in the LCP, all that he learned, and her influence when they escaped into this universe, is what got Westwood into the night guards in the first place. He could have earned it, but he was never tested. This contributed to him not getting checked by DayDream way back when
Anyone want to ask about the WCP numbers? 😸

Have you had to do much reorganizing over the years with the stuff you're containing?
You could say that:

Oh, if you did mean in story, I never really covered reorganization beyond hints of messy piles of books and scrolls
