I don’t know dude. I’ve met both pure breed and mutt dogs that were great dogs.

Mongrels rule, pedigrees drool.

@Marnssj  
I think it’s very acceptable because she would give you an unlimited amount of love.

“this is mildly acceptable”

@Ping_chan  
That’s going a little further than what I meant. It takes a special kind of person to love a dog so ugly that’s qualified for that contest. I’m talking about in a more normal context.

@chubbyninja89  
Actually purebred dogs tend to be very emotionally unstable and medically unsound due to massive inbreeding. “Mutts” are more genetically solid and have much better temperment. If anybody wants my 2 bits, we should do away with “purebreeds” altogether. They exist solely for human vanity, not for dogs’ benefit.

@chubbyninja89  
He reminds me of the contest for the world’s ugliest dog, it always looked like the poor pooches owners loved their ugly doggie very much so…

@Ping_chan  
Well I was thinking more along the lines of pets. Like if you get a dog who’s a “mutt”. The dog might not be the best hunting dog, or the best show dog, but they’ll give you all the unconditional love and companionship that any dog will give you.

@chubbyninja89  
Personally I would say something like Anon buying a presumably poorly made pony plush, but falling in love with it. If I had a chance to buy such a plush, but knew the plush was hand made, and maybe even met the person who hand crafted the plush, it would take on a different meaning than just finding one on a store shelf, knowing it was made in bulk in factory like conditions.

I love the meaning behind this picture, that’s really brought out in the fourth panel.
 
It’s that sometimes, something you get might not be the prettiest or the best quality on first glance, but it can turn out to be a much better thing and have far greater quality then you could possibly know.

@Ping_chan  
Literally mom’s spaghetti.

@ShimmeringStallion  
I… I want to eat her hair…

@Ping_chan  
Even the Queen!  

@ShimmeringStallion  
We all have our fettuccine~

@Ping_chan  
You’re on a website featuring multicolored magical pastel ponies in adult situations.
 
You’re no weirder than the rest of us. ;)

@ShimmeringStallion  
Thanks! For some reason I have an obsession about being a child reborn as a animal and floating in the ocean. My brain is weird.

@Ping_chan  
I enjoyed some of it. Granted, Anon came across as a bit of a jerk, but the Quality Pony of Great Significance had an interesting story, and giving her a goal is what would be best for any character, to make them interesting.
 
Very nice work.
 

Hah! It’s done! That’s three walls of text worth of randomness of a story from MY Brain! Hahaha! Sorry guys if you are unable to read it, I had to chop it up in three pieces because too long…

Holy Crap! This thing had better not belong to some small kid, oh shit! There was a plane crash some where out in  
the ocean! But before he could act like a regular Anon and leave a bad situation faster than he could ignore  
his regular adult responsibilities…  
He suddenly could not bring himself to leave the little plush horse.  
He quickly looked all around himself at the others on the beach. Did anyone else notice him freaking out over  
A Plush Pink Horse??  
No one else seems to be paying attention.  
[Sad horse noises]  
While his intent was to quickly toss the stuffed animal back in the water and high tail it back to his apartment,  
He found himself walking away with the plush stuck to his hand, before he could make another attempt to loose it,  
He SWORE he just heard it say something!  
He stared at it…  
Nothing, its just a stuffed animal!  
He was now several feet from the water, either he heads back and toss it…  
He looked back, OH Shit, more pieces of airplane are washing up now and people are gathering…  
Crap the TV will be here too, better book it…  
[Sad horse noises]  
F@*K!  
He’s loosing it for sure!  
Maybe he’s loosing his mind because his girl left him?  
[Whimpering horse noises]  
Look! A trash can! All he needs to do is quietly put this stupid stuffed animal in it and head back  
to his dumb apartment and get drunk off of his cheapest beer and forget everything!  
[Pleading horse noises]  
Where did the trash can go?! Now he’s on the side walk, he has been internally arguing with himself so much  
he just walked right past 20 trash cans!  
Okay Anon, there is one dumpster left just before the corning to his apartment, get rid of this stupid plush thing  
and go home and drink yourself to sleep!  
SLAM!  
Anon Slammed his front door as hard he could, totally ignoring the fact that he lives in a apartment with like  
lots of other people who hate it when he makes crazy loud noises…  
Wait. The…  
He looked down at his hands, the sad eyes of this still soggy wet stuffed horse was LOOKING RIGHT BACK AT HIM.  
“Please?”  
WTF. He nearly dropped the sad looking stuffed animal…  
“Where is parents?”  
Was this thing talking in a broken Chinese accent?  
WTF this is a stupid stuffed animal! It doesn’t talk!  
He carefully sat it down on his couch and slowly walked back to his front door…  
The pink horse was sitting upright looking right back at him…  
“Please to you can help find Mom and Dad?”  
Oh F@*K don’t tell me this thing is haunted with the ghost of a dead girl from the airplane crash…  
No Anon, you are just slowly going crazy because your dumbass girl friend just left you!  
This happens to all the guys right? Just as he was trying to internally monologue with himself, the horse  
was standing in front of him, and now its tugging on his pants leg!  
“Please to be sorry, but can help?”  
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! This can’t be happening!”  
Anon spun around as fast as he could and walked right in the wall…  
Time Passes  
By the time Anon had woken up, he heard the bath running…  
Was his girl back home? Was she preparing a sexy bath for him?  
Oh everything must have been bad dream! He quickly took off all of his clothes and ran for the bathroom!  
“Ohhhh Huuunnnneeeee Are you ready for meeeeee?” But as he quickly threw open the door, it was the pink thing.  
The Pink stuffed horse was sitting in HIS bath tube going scrub a dub DUB!  
“So I really am going crazy aren’t I?”  
“Am sorry! But was stinky! So I bath!” the little plush horse said so cheerfully…  
“Oh whatever, I already am naked so what the fu?”  
Anon just left what ever bit of pride and sanity he had left behind and climbed in the tub.  
“So uhh, whats your name?” The little stuffed animal said something that could have been Chinese or Korean,  
he wasn’t sure…  
“Uhhh, how about…” Anon thought with all of his best intelligences “Since I don’t know what you just said,  
how I just call you, Ah! Quality Pony of Great Significance!” The little Pink thing just stared at her with innocence in her eyes…  
[Confused Horse Agreeing]  
“Okay so its settled! Qualify Pony of Great Significance is your new name and you should also know the rest of the rules,  
Since you will be living in my apartment, its my rules! First, you must bathe regularly and clean up after both me  
and you, I cannot allow this place to go unkept! Second, you must cook regular meals for all of us, that includes  
regular trips the grocery store too. Third! You must get a job. Rent is super expensive here and it will be both  
of our responsibility to keep this roof over our head!”  
Anon trailed on with unrealistic expectations for what all other purposes, was a simple inanimate stuff animal,  
that he was still hoping was just him hallucinating from eating something that had gone bad, who knows…  
For what ever reason, he felt compelled to just go along with it now…  
The small pink horse just simply sat in the bath tub, listening to the crazy man ramble on.  
She really did hope her American was good enough for him to understand, she did learn English back at school  
at home. Hopefully once he has calmed down he can help her find her parents, maybe they are the beach now like  
she was? Why did the airplane fall into the ocean like that? Mom did promise her it wouldn’t…  
Anon was proud of himself for making a plan how to replace his girlfriend, it was perfect!  
Why waste his time looking for a new girlfriend when he could just…  
Suddenly he felt something, it felt like a soggy hug.  
He looked down at saw the plush horse looking sad again, hugging him tightly.  
For some reason, it reminded him of his little sister back home, back when he would try to make her happy by  
saying something brilliant, or stupid, just to try to make her laugh and smile again…  
He wasn’t sure why, but he felt like he should return the hug, but before he could rationalize why  
hugging a stuffed toy horse in his bath tub was stupid and a sign of insanity, he found himself hugging her back.  
It back, It. This is just a stuffed…  
Oh who cares anymore? What if he was going insane? Right now, he did not feel alone.  
Later on he found some pizza in the fridge that still looked good, after a quick minute he put some slices on  
a plate and took them to his favorite couch, he could have put some news on, but why? Its always just  
depressing news anyways, he found a good monster movie on the science channel and sat down.  
He offered a slice of pizza to the pink horse, she timidly took the slice and looked at the movie.  
It was some dumb looking lizard man throwing punches at a guy in tights and a motorcycle helmet.  
She simply held onto the slice of pizza and leaned over to lay in Anons lap.  
Anon simply went with what felt right and put his arm around the pink horse and signed,  
“This ain’t so bad…”

It was somewhere at that point the young mother riding on the plane with her husband and daughter noticed that  
the story just pulled out from nowhere had calmed her fears of flying and leaving their old home behind.  
She could have told one of the stories he mother had told her when she was young, but, her mother always  
told really strange stories that had questionable morals. Besides she likes stories of horses and so does her daughter!  
It was only then she noticed the turbulence, hopefully there wouldn’t be enough to wake her daughter.  
Back in Northern California Anon was trying to ignore the fears and rumors that people were about to be let go,  
he had been following the talks from upper management about rumors about trying to make their job profitable again.  
But later that day the rumors slowly became true, while he didn’t receive the cut, some of his friends did.  
How could he stay in a place like this and not know if tomorrow he would get fired too?  
Truth be told, it was the only job he could get, this town wasn’t exactly overflowing with work.  
If he got fired tomorrow he would either have to find a way to another town with better jobs, maybe another state.  
Or worse yet move back home with his parents… He already knew his girlfriend would leave him.  
But he also knew she couldn’t live on her own, her fast food job was not enough to pay for rent anywhere in town.  
Hah! She couldn’t leave him! She can’t afford to leave him!  
He sat smug as ever in front of his computer doing his computer job making barely enough money to make it by…  
Zzzzzzz…..  
Meanwhile the little girl on the airplane heading for big hopes in America was dreaming about horses…  
She saw this strange pink horse in front of her, some how this regular little girl was everything to her.  
She tried to explain how she was just a regular girl, nothing special, but the pink horse explained  
that no, she was not regular, she was going to be everything to her.  
Before the pink horse could finish explaining just how important she was, suddenly there was a earthquake!  
Everything was shaking! She knew everybody hated this earthquake and before she could tell what was going on,  
Water.  
When the girl had awoken from her deep sleep, she was floating in a ocean.  
She didn’t take the moment to appreciate the fact she had never learned how to swim, her school was simply  
too poor to afford a swimming pool for the kids.  
But regardless she began to swim, she had to, she needed air right?  
With all of her strength she began to swim upwards to the light.  
Suddenly she was blinded by just how bright it was, while kicking around in place, she put her hoof above her  
face to keep out the very bright day light… Her hoof?!  
She had to still be dreaming, she didn’t have hooves?! Pink ones at that!  
She’s just a little girl, with little hands and feet! But here was hooves…  
She looked around, her parents gotta be here somewhere… but all she saw was pieces of airplane…  
No… this can’t be! It’s just like on TV… The people get on a airplane and it goes poof!  
and then the people are stuck on a island in the middle of nowhere right? Isn’t that how it goes…  
If she could find her dad he would know what to do…  
Meanwhile back in Norther California, Anon was in despair! Not only was he still stuck at his dumbass computer job,  
his girlfriend left him! Something about how he was a dead end and she was moving back to her parents!  
He said a bunch of inspiring things that Anon would normally say before she left, but then realized just  
how empty his couch was…  
So instead of trying to figure out which pizza in his fridge was not the oldest, he took off for a walk to the beach.  
There was nothing impressive about the beaches here, there wasn’t as much nice sand that you would find to the south,  
but more gravel and rocks…  
As he slowly walked along ignoring the other California nut jobs walking around the beach also, he suddenly noticed  
small bits of metal washing up the shore…  
They looked like small pieces of airplane…  
Anon wasn’t much for looking for valuable stuff like old watches or rings on the beach. But this was really different.  
While he stared at the different small bits and pieces he suddenly noticed a really sad looking purple plush horse  
that had washed up with everything else.

So there’s a computer firm in Norther California that is struggling to keep their budget together,  
and a young man with unusual greenish tan skin who is thankful that has been able to hold this job for so long,  
but between him and his fiance, they can barely keep their finances balanced.  
For the guy who goes by the nickname of Anon, his fiance has been feeling pressured by her parents to move back home,  
since her bf is apparently a loser and they appear to be going nowhere fast.  
But because he has a steady job and a really nice couch, she is giving him a chance, for now.  
Meanwhile Anon’s boss is making hard choice, for his company to stay alive, he may have to fire most of his employees and rehire a bunch of immigrants who are willing to work for less…  
Meanwhile someplace else…  
There’s a family who has been dreaming for a long time to move to the United States,  
Their father has just recently been approved for a computer job in Norther California and he found a really  
cheap apartment too! Once his visa to move was approved he immediately bought plane tickets for himself, his wife,  
and his 8 year old daughter.  
Both he and his wife was super excited for their new start, but his wife noticed that their daughter was less so.  
As this meant a really big change for her, like having to start a new school and loosing all of her old friends.  
After trying to cheer her up with stories about how great her new school would be and keeping the addresses to all  
of her old friends, she noticed a nice looking plush horse at the airports gift shop.  
She immediately thought up a story she could tell her daughter once they were boarding the plane.  
Her story went something like this, there once was this young race horse that was totally full of potential,  
she was young, beautiful and faster than anyone else at the race tracks. For her, racing was everything!  
Her human, who would normally ride on her back for some reason, loved her for how fast she always was.  
Whenever she ran her fastest everyone would cheer and shout her name, her photo would be taken and then she would  
get the flowers as her prize! They always tasted so fresh and they were defiantly much yummier than her regular food.  
But lately she felt something different stirring in her heart, like her human didn’t really love her and maybe  
there was something better for her out there, but being a simple horse who loved simple things she wasn’t sure.  
This morning she could tell this was going to be a big day, her human was very excited about this race, but she  
noticed that he wasn’t really excited towards her, but some chubby looking human that totally couldn’t ride on  
any horses back.  
They argued back and forth for awhile and she could not tell if they were actually happy or not.  
But regardless she would ride in her special horse car to the tracks and meet the other race horses  
and just like any normal morning, they could snort back and forth about being faster.  
One of her favorite thing to do before they start was, she could try peeking out to the funny seats  
that all of the cheering humans would sit in and would wonder, how many humans would cheer for her if she won?  
This morning how ever, she made eye contact with a particularly sad looking human sitting with the others.  
He seemed to have a heavy heart and with a sad sense of hopefulness. She swore he was looking at human next to him  
and saying her name. Maybe she somehow could make his day better by racing her best?  
Suddenly the loud bang came and the race was begun!  
She raced her bestest like she always could, but no matter how much she would focus on racing, her heart was different.  
Not only was she starting to doubt her place here at the race tracks, with her unhappy little man on her back,  
but now also the sad man in the stands. She absolutely must know what was bothering him!  
Then suddenly the race was over… Last place?!  
Her little human was furious! And so was the chubby man too!  
This was the complete opposite of how her race was supposed to go!  
While her tiny human and the chubby human was arguing, she noticed from the corner of her eye the sad man  
from the audience, he was standing distraught with his female friend and now they had a tiny human next to  
them also. She tried to make eye contact with the man to say she was sorry, but now she was somehow making a  
connection with the tiny human. She was not unhappy! For every unhappy, sad and angry human in the world right now.  
This tiny little human girl was actually very happy! In fact, some how she could tell that she felt that she was  
the most beautiful horse in the world right now! She was in total confusion! How could this be?  
I thought racing and being the fastest was everything?  
Somehow her human and let go of her little face ropes and she simply started walking to the tiny human.  
Right now, find out why this tiny human was so happy was the only important thing to her.  
“Mommy! Daddy! It’s her! The horse that you said was going to make us everything better!” said the little girl,  
“What? Hey where did she come from?” one of her parents responded confused. “Can we keep her?” the girl asked.  
“Keep her?! We can’t even afford our rent, where would we even put a horse?!” He parents were now really frustrated.  
See, for regular humans, they need to pay money for their houses, and these humans while having a tiny one  
to take care of, was feeling their face ropes pulled really hard to make things okay.  
“I told you how stupid it was to think we could make ends meet by gambling like this!  
You can’t live off of gambling as if it were a job!” the lady human was really angry now.  
But all that matter to her right now was how much the little human was in love with her.  
For the taller guy human, he was already coming up with a back up plan, while his job was in the city,  
his own parents had a ranch just outside the city, not very far from this very race track.  
As his own parents used to raise horses for racing before they got too old to keep up with the constant training  
the horses needed to compete. Although lucky for them, the land they own for the ranch was totally paid off,  
and they just had to keep themselves fed and taken care of with the nest egg of money they had saved up.  
They had always promised their son if he couldn’t make ends meet in the city like he had wanted to,  
he could always move back home. Now he just had to convince his wife to not divorce him for being so stupid  
with his gambling habits. Although truth be told, some times he simply enjoyed just sitting on the bleachers  
watching the horses run…  
While he was trying to ignore his now furious wife and wait for her to calm down so he could present plan B.  
Something unexpected happened, the owner of the race horse approached them.  
At first he was going to apologize for keeping his horse from him, but apparently he had a different idea.  
“I see yer little girl there took a shinning to mah old horse, I really do love her, but it looks like she has gotten past her prime”  
While he and his wife were now dumb founded by how this whole morning has been going on, they barely had a plan  
how to go about the rest of the day, what with their really short finances and now their daughter is playing is  
playing brush the horsies hair. They hadn’t really thought of yet what to do with the horse and how to get their  
daughter away from her. Before they could properly respond to the race man and give him back his horse, he continued. “Ah don’t need to tell you what normally happens to horses once they can’t race their best no more,  
but ah ain’t that kind of guy, ah simply don’t have the heart to send mah horses off like that, ah usually  
try to find them the best of homes to retire at, and she seems to have really taken a shinning to yer little girl!”  
Her parents tried their best to back out of this situation!  
“Normally ah would haggle a deal for the horse, but ah could also give her to yah for free, It seems today ah have  
a change of heart.” the little girls parents were dumbfounded! For free? You don’t just give horses out for free.  
But then he remembered the urban legend about old race horses being sold to the glue factory once they weren’t  
making money any more…  
While his wife continued to argue, he suddenly found himself accepting the mans offer.  
His wife was beside herself! What was he doing?! They couldn’t afford their apartment, they have a little girl  
to take care of, where would they put the horse? How would they feed it! At the same time though, she was in no  
mood to explain all of this to their daughter…  
Then he took the time to explain his plan to move back in with his parents at their horse farm, from there he could  
walk to the city bus stop not far from their ranches front gate, and ride the bus to work every day.  
He knew his parents couldn’t turn him or his family down.  
The young race horse was in heaven, as they slowly walked away from the race tracks and off to her new home.  
She just knew she found her new purpose in life, here was this adorable tiny human slowly tugging at her  
face ropes, she just knew this was her new purpose in life, to do everything she could to make these humans happy.  
Zzzzzzz….

@ShimmeringStallion  
Oh…

@Ping_chan  
As someone who’s posted a few contributions in the “clopfic in the comments”, I can safely say… you can post a LOT!
 
And if it goes over, you’re able to trim it and post a little in a second comment. And a third! scratches head sheepishly
 
… I… Really get into commenting… he-heh…

@Ping_chan  
It sounds like a cute fanfic.

@ShimmeringStallion  
Okay so like I totally have a really great story about a race horse and a little girl in my head, and how a depressed unemployed man (anon) finds a pony plush that holds the spirit of a young girl. But I just realized I’m too tired to improv fanfic properly! XD  
I’ll try to hash this thing out properly tomorrow morning!  
I also realized that my android phone is not the best tool for writing novel length fics…  
I’m actually feeling guilty too, how long of a fic can you post in the comments section guilt free, I realize that I never actually used the forums…
