Fluffy Questions (Coming from a newbie)

Welcome, and yes you’re asking in the right place.

  1. Usually, yes. Most fluffies are, inherently, bigoted. Mostly because they don’t know any better. They look down on brown (poopie) fluffies, retarded (dummeh/derpy) fluffies, alicorns, and maybe a few other things that don’t come to mind.

  2. Headcanons are fine, as long as they’re within reason and fit well with the generally established lore. Nobody will mind if you make a few changes to suit your ideas/needs, but if you go for something really cringe or unoriginal, you’re likely to get a few side-eyes. My biggest advice here is to go for it, but be receptive to any negative feedback.

  3. Well, the long answer goes way back to 2012-ish 4chan. People back then made fluffies as a way to portray MLP characters as retarded little idiots and beat them up, to piss off the bronies on /mlp/. If you’re asking about why now? Eh, it’s fun, they’re dumb little animals and need a good ass-whooping.

  4. Spaghetti is a funny word. Also, due to the old 4chan meme of
    >trips
    >spaghetti falls out of pocket
    which you can read more about here.

  5. A fluffy shouldn’t be written into a story. A story should be written around a fluffy. Ultimately, that’s the end goal. Telling a story about a fluffy, not a story with a fluffy in it. Many have made that mistake, myself included way back when. I’d say if you need inspiration look around the most popular text posts right now and see if you feel any ideas forming. From there, just put words to paper. You may find this and this and ESPECIALLY this extremely useful.

  6. They’re not related much anymore but we don’t have any disdain for the community. I’m a brony (well, mostly former) who found fluffies on /mlp/ back in 2014. Most bronies don’t really like fluffy abuse though. Side note: please be aware that we do not allow abuse art of regular ponies. If you ever start drawing, make absolutely sure your fluffies are distinguishable as such.

If you have any questions or need clarification just ask. Forgive any mistakes, it’s 3:44 in the morning.
