Now that we can have fluffies on a pony board again, let's have a classic fluffy thread like in the good old times. Original fluffies only, no /b/-tier hellgremlins.
What are fluffy ponies?In short, fluffy ponies are a Happy Tree Friends -style comedy about horrible things happening to ridiculously cute and friendly creatures.
In full, it's an universe set in the near future, where the wild success of MLP lead Hasbro to create a subsidiary called Hasbio to create the perfect pet; a living, talking pony toy. Before the development of fluffies was finished, PETA raided the facility and released the unfinished prototypes into the wild, where they bred and quickly became both popular pets and a minor nuisance.
But why? Is this some kind of fetish?No, they're just for fun, and sometimes feels. The fluffies appeal is in seeing something
unbearably cute getting a face-full of harsh reality, like dropping Carebears into the Fallout universe. The (as of yet contested) scientific theory explaining the fluffies appeal would be 'cute aggression', the same phenomenom that makes you want to squeeze or pinch cute things in general, and this is what the exaggerated clumsiness, friendliness and happiness of fluffies takes up to eleven.
For a good view of what fluffies are about, the old booru at
http://fluffy.booru.org is basically a time capsule serving as the perfect introduction to fluffies.
The new booru at
http://fluffybooru.org has become the fandoms main site, but is sullied by hellgremlins that put an end to the golden age and took over the fandom and started a years long dark age the fandom suffers from to this day. If you want to see it, please start reading the site from oldest to newest so you'll see how it started, got invaded and nearly destroyed, and what came of it.

>>823I remember these from /b/ and they were shit! What does hellgremlin mean?In short, hellgremlins are a branch of fandom with completely opposite idea of what fluffies are. It's fluffies are as hateable as possible, and it's stories about the evil fluffies abusing other fluffies and humans alike.
Long version would be the entire history of how the hellgremlin fandom came to be:
After the mods of /mlp/ banned fluffies along with all the other good stuff, there was one guy who believed the fandom couldn't survive without spreading into /b/. The problem is, he was a fan of "justified abuse", a small and resented genre of fluffy stories where the fluffies acted badly so they'd deserve a punishment. This was hated because it went against the central point of fluffies being just undeserving victims of circumstances, but as rare as this was, that one guy posted the same set of images in /b/ several times each day until a whole generation of newfags thought that all the fluffies were heinously evil and the fandom was all about justified retribution against them.This led to a snowball effect where anyone who'd have enjoyed the original fluffies thought the fandom wasn't for them, while those already spending their time screaming at each other in troll threads thought they'd found their home. As this wave of newschool fluffies hit the booru the whole fandom seemed to turn into its polar opposite, and most old artists left in disgust. This new version of fluffies was dubbed "hellgremlins", which the fans of the genre opposed violently because they demanded that their version of fluffies was the true one, and the nice "classic" fluffies were just the same but pretending to be good out of fear of punishment.
The hellgremlins pretty much killed the fandom, to the point that when /b/ banned fluffies and the influx of new hellgremlin fans to replace the ones getting bored dried up, there were hardly any original fans left. The fluffybooru became such a wasteland that the admin of the site actually discussed closing it down entirely, but with the hellgremlins gone the original fandom started making a comeback. The daily amounts of new content are a shadow of what it once was, but with new people learning that the original fandom about nice and likable fluffies exists the fandom is surviving nicely.

I should try drawing some of these. I'd never be able to draw awful things happening to them tho.

I've never done anything with my life, so… Do you think I should remake and upload that comic?

>>1250Awesome! You should post the colored version too.
Here's the newest picture I just finished. Enjoy!

FoxHoarder! They have to go to the booru for color lel :) Then when they visit the booru, they never leave. thats my plan

abusefags are already garbage but when you add fluffies it's a dumpsterfire

>>1269I personally don't like them at all. I've no sadistic bones in my body and if I'm looking for cuteness normal ponies satisfy that need tenfold.
No.1276
>>1269Love them! Fluffies are the best thing since ponies, for a different and completely unique reason. They're like Happy Tree Friends, but grounded enough that their knocks and bumps have weight. Funny stuff is the best, but I like some sadbox too for more serious tragedy.
Funny enough, I can't stand shows like Game of Thrones because I'm too empathetic, but fluffies are so
excessively cute that my empathy for them just rolls over to schadenfreude.

>>1279This. It's getting hard to deal with for me, but I admit that's partially due to a different fetish sphere sullying the "pwayfuw inabiwiddy ta speak good." Maybe if it were more varied in dialogue I'd enjoy the fluffy more. Otherwise it's alright.

i only remember them because of all the screwed up stuff I've seen, it's a wonder people haven't drawn fluffle puff going through the same stuff

>>1375Sounds like a pretty degenerate trait. Like, way more degenerate than the rest of the degeneracy on this board.
Also that sort of implies you find these little shits cute. Cuter than regular poners, even, because couldn't you just draw abuse shit with them?
Do you also think tards or infants are cute?
No.1832
>>1831Fluffies aren't cute in the same way ponies are. They're
industrial cute, like, trying too hard to be cute. Cute to the point of irritating, like Cozy Glow.
Enjoying cute things in horrible situations isn't that rare either. I don't like grimdark pony stuff myself and rather delegate that to even more cartoony fluffy tragedies.
