• Tumblr Spotlight: Ask Octavia



    The next Tumblr on my 'destroy-with-comments' list is Ask Octavia, which has been going on for quite a long while but just recently returned from a short hiatus. There's plenty of questions and answers to dig through for this one, so I encourage you to look through the archive! If Octavia isn't your thing, there's plenty of Scratch in there, as well.

    And who doesn't love Scratch?

      Ugh. Most random and forced ship in the fandom next to Fluttermac and BonBon/Lyra.

      And even then, Fluttermac and BonBon/Lyra aren't that random.

    8. This is one of the Ask-Blog that I've always thought really deserved a spotlight. It's one of the longest running and consistent ones out there.

      This one is on my short list of "Ask-Blogs everybody should try to be like." I always point people to it when they asked for an example of how an Ask-Blog should be done.

      Doh ho ho!

      This blog was actually the reason I was weary of any Ask Tumblrs for the longest time and was a bit put off by them. Since I see myself as Octavia and such, I was worried the artist was kinda trying to "take her from me", sort to speak. But it is a nice blog for sure.

    12. I'm not much for the general crowd that Tumblr usually attracts, even though I use it for my business blog more out of convenience than anything else but these spate of ask-pony blogs are awesome. In particular I'm a huge fan of Ask Jappleack, Gilardi's pseudo ren and stimpy style and sense of humor just gel really well with me.

      I'll check this one out as well.

    14. I tried reading this a few days ago. Not my favorite tumblr. Octavia seems really stuck up and lacking in a lot of personality, generally sucking any kind of fun atmosphere out of the questions. I guess that's fitting based off of her expression and role in the show, but not my thing.
      Also, she's not stuck up in the "I'm better than you and I know it" hilarious kind of way, she's stuck up in the "I'm talented and intelligent and sophisticated but at the same time very modest so you can't call me out for it" kind of way.
      Hard to describe but it grates on me for whatever reason. One of the few fan interpretations of characters I don't really care for.

    15. The next one you should feature is the my little human confession blog. http://mylittlehumanconfessions.tumblr.com/

    16. I despise Hipsters and tumblr. But snobby Octavia is still like-able for some reason. If she wasn't a pony she wouldn't get away with it!

    17. The culture clash of Tavi and Scratchy's relationship works out so well. I think that's why I like them being good friends in non-canon.

    18. I can never choose between Octavia and Vinyl Scratch. XD This just makes it worse.
