First panel; I love when Thing smiles or is happy. Second panel; That death-glare. Third; Aww, poor baby. Come out so I can wipe the tears and I’ll fix up an apology peetzer. :(
@Kamazeustra
Yeah, writelurker carried the early Thingpone threads. Wonder if he’s still around? Also, parts of his story he didn’t upload to pastebin, they exist on desuarchive
@Jammer
As far as I know the name comes from ThingPone Story by WriteLurker. She identifies the mare she assimilated in the second chapter, which is called Part 1.
@Jammer
Of course her appearance is the most commonly consistent thing about her. Even though she can easily change her appearance at will, that’s the appearance most commonly associated with her.
@Napsack
Yeah. Ponies (even the quadruple ones in the show) are anthropomorphic in the sense that they’re given speech, human-like intelligence, and complex socio-economic backgrounds.
@Setsugekka
Very long time. My headcanon is that Amber is the name of the first pony that thing fused to. The thing was basically lobotomized from a very long trip in stasis through space and had to use the brain of the first sapient being it found to replace what it lost so it basically took the identity and part of the personality of Amber.
In effect Amber is like 60% of Thingpone’s personality and being. At least in this interpretation.
As much as I don’t want to insult the thingfu, ponies are still technically furry anyway. The adorable crybomination can pout as much as she wants, but she can’t assimilate the truth.
