  1. A paste for discussing the current orphanage happening.
  2.  
  3. >BRIEFED VERSION
  4. -A charity stream called "Ponies for Planned Parenthood" is organised and held on Twitch, raising ~1400$ for abortions
  5. -A thread is posted about the happening on 4chan and /mlpol/, urging anons to make a charity art pack in response that'll support orphanages
  6. -After intense debate, the following is more-or-less decided:
  7. --The charity's codename (as given in the opening post) is "PROJECT: HORSES FOR ORPHANAGE";
  8. --The new charity art pack shall be called "Born to Silly" (BtS);
  9. --The deadline is not later than March (exact dates not decided, however);
  10. --Art is posted on the thread(s), all organisation happens there;
  11. --Anchor Ridge would be the orphanage donated to;
  12. --The themes of family, life, and foalcare are guaranteed.
  13. Additionally, other themes are still being discussed, and the question of whether the art pack should be SFW or not remains more-or-less open (currently, SFW is preferred).
  14. -At around the same time, NaziHorseMolester and Patachu organise a Discord server to help organise the project.
  15. -Given the 4chan public's thoughts on Discord, this is met with harsh criticism and condemnation.
  16. -Twitter users find out about the Discord and the thread as a whole, and some attempt to go on a raid (it fails).
  17. -The possibility of a website for this project gets discussed.
  18. -The thread on 4chan approaches its bump limit. (we are here)

  20. ====================
  21.  
  22. >CHRONOLOGY:
  23. All times are UTC unless stated otherwise.
  24. >PRE-4CHAN
  25. -[12th Nov 2024 18:57] A tweet is made this date by the artist Kettle Master, declaring the following:
  26. >THIS SUNDAY!! At 6pm UK time I'll be taking part in a charity stream organised by the people over at @DraftHorsesYT! Tiny horses will be drawn, naughty words will probably be said, "Eeyup"s may be heard! Come on, come all!
  27. Attached to this is an informational image giving more info: the charity stream would be called "Ponies for Planned Parenthood" (from here on out, PfPP), it would last ~8 hours, feature 20+ community artists (with a guest appearance of the voice actor of Big Mac, Peter New), and would mostly involve playing the game "Gartic Phone".
  28. -[from the above date until the beginning of the event] Various other participants share or repost similar statements, with the same image being used.
  29. -[13th Nov 2024 14:58] Timsplosion, an animator who the image credits as the one on whose Twitch channel the stream will be run, confirms this and writes:
  30. >You like ponies? You like access to reproductive health? You need some levity in these messy times while also doing good? [...] Let's raise some goddamn money.
  31. -[17th Nov 2024 16:07] Yet another post is made on Twitter, this time by the organisers (Draft Horses), reiterating much of what has already been said about the event.
  32. -[starting 17th Nov 2024 ~18:00 (~1PM EST), lasting for 07:59:08 hours/minutes/seconds] The charity stream happens as planned on the timsplosion channel.
  33. -[Nov 18th 2024 03:24] Timsplosion posts a short thread on Twitter, detailing how the stream received a hate raid at one point and stating that, as a consequence, no other event like this will be promoted on Twitter. Besides that, he also mentions intentions to private the Twitter accounts (an earlier tweet from 13th Nov stated that it will be done after a new episode of DH is uploaded, but he states here that it may happen sooner). The full text is given below:
  34. >Tonight's stream was a success - we raised $1355 for charity - but I think this is the last such event I promote on Twitter.
  35. >We had to deal with a hate raid, & I've blocked a dozen or so ppl on the DH Twitter account, knowing that they can still see everything.
  36. >Our mods dealt with it fantastically - you had to be transfixed on the chat to even know anything was happening - but it still leaves a bitter taste that we had to deal with that.
  37. >And only dealt with it as well as we did because someone tipped us off.
  38. >I'm probably going to private my account and the DH account sooner than I planned. If you're lucky you'll get a days notice. If I decide I'm done, it'll just happen.
  39. >You'll be able to find me. By now, you know where to look.
  40.  
  41. >EARLY 4CHAN THREAD
  42. -[18th Nov 2024 19:48:48] a thread is posted on 4chan labeled "PROJECT: HORSES FOR ORPHANAGE", urging anons to create a charity of their own to counter the PfPP's goals by raising money for orphanages via creating an artpack, citing Marenheit 451 as a direct inspiration.
  43. -[18th Nov 2024 19:58:15] One anon on the thread proposes using Snuggly Filly/Silly Stuffing, an OC from a recent make-an-OC thread, as the mascot for this new charity.
  44. -[18th Nov 2024 20:12:43] An anon proposes that the new charity should "buy some horse plushies for kids".
  45. -[18th Nov 2024 20:16:24] Another anon proposes the name "Ponies for Life" (from here on out, PfL).
  46. -Anons start discussing what the art pack's themes should be. Some of the suggestions given (posts 41657350, 41657403 and some others as well):
  47. >Pregnant mares
  48. >Foals being loved by their parents
  49. >Family photos (e.g. Twilight and her family on a vacation)
  50. >extended family and friends lending their support to parents, with the just recently pregnant dam thanking them profusely while in the trashcan an abortion certificate is visible
  51. >orphans getting adopted
  52. >mare-iage ceremonies strictly between mares and stallions
  53. >Nurse Redheart destroying the changeling pretending to be her [referring to the Nurse Redheart featured in the PfPP's promotional image] to kill ponies' foals
  54. >Princess Luna getting rid of foal abusers using her knowledge of foals's dreams
  55. >Cozy Christmas themed wholesome family
  56. -A particularly contested part of the art pack's themes is whether or not to have porn/clop, with no consensus reached (besides that foalcon should probably be avoided).
  57. -[18th Nov 2024 21:06:26] An anon proposes to delay the charity for Summer or longer, citing the state of the economy as the reason, whilst arguing that doing this will make for more money donated and an overall bigger event.
  58. -[18th Nov 2024 21:21:50] A backup thread is made on /mlpol/.
  59. -[Nov 18th 2024 21:40] NaziHorseMolester and DarkDoomer (NHM and DD) organise a discord server to organise the art part of the art pack. As it's announced on Twitter, it initially doesn't get much traction.
  60. -[18th Nov 2024 22:19:31] An anon offers to write stories in relation to the PfL; first instance of writing being proposed
  61. -Anons discuss how much time there should be for the project, coming to a figure of ~1-1.5 months, as other art packs before have done (Marenheit included)
  62. -The question of what the themes of the art pack should be continues to be intensely debated, leading certain anons to state that there shouldn't even be pregnant mares in the art pack. This essentially splits the thread into two camps about this issue: the "puritans", who want a 100% SFW wholesome art pack, and the "perverts", who argue for the opposite. This is better understood as a spectrum of sorts, with many anons lying in the middle.
  63.  
  64. >START OF PROPER PLANNING
  65. -[19th Nov 2024 06:29:30] An anon (from here on out, OrganiserAnon) finally lays down the core things that this charity needs and other anons have been debating: a name, a date, quantity and type of content, and a price.
  66. -Name proposals include given by anons include: Born to Silly (received the most support), the aforementioned Ponies for Life (initially beaten, but started to grow in popularity after OrganiserAnon already declared Born to Silly as the name), SS (Silly Stuffing) Life Squad featuring Aryanne, Aryanne Hoofler's little SS unit (same meaning for SS, was proposed later), and Pony Parenthood Pack.
  67. -There are three main date proposals: New Years, first of June (on International Children's Day), or March 21st (International Mother's Day). International Women's Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas are also proposed. After very intense back-and-forth, no consensus is reached, and instead OrganiserAnon considers splitting the art pack into two, one SFW and one NSFW, with the former coming out sooner, and also labeling March as the latest month possible, thus also proposing a solution to end the puritan-pervert debate (note that having too different art packs had been proposed earlier, but having them release at different times was not).
  68.  
  69. >TWITTER/DISCORD BULLSHIT
  70. -[19th Nov 2024 18:04] On the PfL Discord, NHM announces he'll be posting an invite to the Discord on 4chan in about an hour, and urges DD to get his friends on board as well.
  71. -[19th Nov 2024 18:57:59] The self-proclaimed OP of the thread (NaziHorseMolester) posts an invite to the PfL Discord server, and urges artist anons to join it. Though Born to Silly has achieved a majority support as the name for the charity, the server was made before said name was proposed, and is thus called Ponies for Life. This is met with great backlash by essentially everyone present, with several anons of the thread labeling NHM as an off-boarder.
  72. -[19th Nov 2024 19:27] Amy New of the PfPP makes a Twitter post about this server.
  73. -The debates regarding the nature of the charity continue, this time on who to donate to. The Tim Tebow Foundation and Anchor Ridge are the two main contenders.
  74. -With Twitter now aware of the BtS and PfL projects, a few of theirs try infiltrating the thread and Discord. They fail.
  75. -[19th Nov 2024 22:00:55] The first relevant image to the BtS project gets posted on the thread (post number 41660266)
  76. -[19th Nov 2024 ~22:09] The PfL Discord's general chat devolves into arguing about Christian topics. The idea channel fairs a little better.
  77. -Given how NHF doesn't have a trip, a slew of posts impersonating him get posted in a row (or, maybe it's just schizophrenia?)
  78.  
  79. >BACK TO THREAD
  80. -[19th Nov 2024 22:29:46] An anon argues these as the decisions for undecided topics: Anchor Ridge would be the charity, with the themes of "Families, life, foalcare", predominately SFW (though NSFW wouldn't be disallowed), and for all the images to be posted directly to the coming threads.
  81. -Of course, anons still continue to debate the question of (N)SFW and that of a deadline (which neither this anon nor OrganiserAnon properly answered).
  82. -[20th Nov 2024 07:28:49] An anon (possibly OrganiserAnon himself?) asks what every anon plans to contribute. Some of the things declared:
  83. >I plan on animating a sfw silly stuffing animation.
  84. >I'm going to draw motherly ponies playing with their foals.
  85. >Sfw art of Silly Stuffing
  86. >One or two sfw silly stuffing drawings
  87. >I'll contribute with a story about a pregnant mare or few.
  88. >I want to draw Pear Butter with the apple family.
  89. >I'll contribute whatever drawfaggotry I can muster.
  90. >Imma going to do SFW only, at least one drawing Silly Stuffing doing something wth Derpy and Dinky. And a second drawing but I'm not sure of what.
  91. >A good one would be Scootaloo adopted by Rainbow Dash and having sex with her. [yo, databytes, remember me? why didn't you mention me in your pseudo-"response" >:( ]
  92. >Luna babysitting foals and fillies.
  93. >I was thinking of something cute with Derpy and Dinky since we never see any type of "father" around with them Dinky could be an adoptee to Derpy or something along those lines with Derpy saying "You may not be mine but I am yours" something sappy I'll hammer it out as I wip up stuff and get an idea board going
  94. >Trying to draw a little appul and a big momma pear
  95. -The question of having a website starts being discussed.
  96. -[20th Nov 2024 20:14:45] An anon proposes to run said website.

  111.  
  112. To do:
  113. ~50 posts on the thread have been deleted, yet nothing is said of them; mention them at the relevant sections
  114. Maybe talk more about the activities of the PfL D*scord
  115. Do the archiveful and have the relevant tweets of the PfPP gang (in case they try making shit private), alongside the D*scord messages (just for the sake of archival), be properly archived.
  116. Art is being posted. Make a separate section of the paste for all the art so far (and maybe other relevant images as well, whatever that may entail).
  117. Mention the Wolvan thing.
