I believe I qualify for A Really Hyper Artist

@Background Pony #1057
Well, ok, but while I have no idea what it has to do with the dev changes today, I still think if you want to find images with Lauren Faust on them, you can search the tag ‘Lauren Faust’.

If you want to use that to prove some other point, that’s fine, I guess. Whatever works for you. I just don’t know why you’re framing me as being opposed to whatever it is you’re proposing, or why that’s a perception you want to create.

Like, why would anyone give a shit if I thought the palette of the different tag categories was good or bad? How is presenting that as something I care about even useful for you in trying to advocate for your proposed change?

I don’t have anything to say about it. It’s not my site. I’m just a volunteer here.

Literally here and here.

I thought I saw it brought up more times than that, maybe I’m just remembering too intensely.

Literally what?

@Acid Flask
Good ^^

@Twiny Dust
Awesome

@Starless
It’s better than being bad. Hope things are okay ^^

On this website? tight flank

Also, how necessary is it to stick to a palette of 256 web-safe colors? It’s 2024, not 1996. More importantly, this is a place for images. Those images will use whichever colours they damn well please. I understand that colors should be perceptually distinct, but which part of the rainbow is most squeezed?

Tags like “alternate version” and “derpibooru exclusive” could have their own category (let’s call it origin-adjacent), but still keep the same color as the origin tags. If a different color is necessary, they could get a slightly different shade.

FWIW, -source_url:?* was the way to find absence of sources in the past (and more generally, to find absence of content for other string-type fields)

@The Smiling Pony
Ciaran’s lamentations about running out of distinct web-safe colors notwithstanding, this really means further division of tag categories is warranted.

Also, keep in mind that some characters have multiple mutual-implication-enforced tags, or that people use multiple tags for the same oc (until someone notices and posts about it in the tagging forum), and that “oc” and “oc only” count within oc_tag_count. (oc is automatically added whenever someone tags an oc:-prefixed tag, but may be missing for various reasons.)

@JP
That and so many other tags. Don’t get me started. Nevermind also whether you’d tag “oc only” on a picture where the oc has a figurine of a canon character in the background on a shelf, for example, and that you wouldn’t tag “oc only” if there’s an oc and something else that wouldn’t be character-categorized (eg. Optimus Prime).

Is it a bug or a simple need for search reindexing that there are a lot of tags with namespaces that aren’t searchable as having a namespace?

@CountDerpy
I could be worse.

@belmontzar
I don’t know. I might draw Starless and Coloratura together again even if they’re just friends but I’m not feeling like drawing at the moment.

@Starless
that could be an interesting plot line all on its own.. the feeling of a forced happy ending.. where things just END UP ok even if, realistically that shouldn’t be the case. A lot of stories end that way and having a character actually react to it properly could be a fascinating way to truly explore what it means to end a story.

Also yee im good and happy, just trying to find a quick simple program I can use to record small vocal clips while I mess around with voice Mod.

@CountDerpy
Good thx ^^

I’m doing good

How is everyone doing today? Hopefully well?

@Toastypk
THE BOY SHALL SOON BE READY!

I have a sneak peak of something to show you all.
Some of you know this, and some of you don’t.
But… it’s him. He’s here.

He’s almost ready in full!

@byte[]
Owo, thanks!

>oc_tag_count.gt:0, character_tag_count:0, -oc only
>121510 results
Oh, wow. People really do ignore the oc only tag.

@byte[]
For those trying it out, note that tags like “alternate version” or “derpibooru exclusive” count as origin tags, so results aren’t going to be 100% clean.

New search fields have been added

source_count: integer -> find images with the specified number of sources
source_count:0 - find images with no sources

body_type_tag_count, error_tag_count, character_tag_count, content_fanmade_tag_count, content_official_tag_count, oc_tag_count, rating_tag_count, species_tag_count, spoiler_tag_count: integer -> find images with the specified number of tags with the given category

origin_tag_count.lte:2 - find images with two, one, or zero artists

No, go get that hot pocket!!!!

It’s almost the end of April and I still haven’t taken my first glimpse of a Hot Pocket personally. Perhaps it’s time to let the dream die soon.

I still miss these…

On second thought, maybe I shouldn’t draw what I suggested and instead have Starless never see Coloratura ever again. He’ll never be able to apologize or make up for his actions and he’ll have no choice but to move on from her. It’s been too long. It doesn’t matter anymore.

In my fanon, Starless has been alone for a while, with only his new OC friends I made up to check on him. Twilight, Sunset Shimmer (who might have a crush on Starless), and Starlight Glimmer may have tried to help him later on, but all of them will eventually give up on him because they have better things to do then help a lost cause and fail completely. They might not want to, but they will have to.

But maybe I should just rewrite that fanfic I made as a much longer vent fic, though I keep going back and forth on whether Starless should get a happy ending, because I just don’t see one happening unless I force it to.

@Starless
I can sorta emphasize to a point with Starless to a degree here.. its easy to feel left behind, unforgivable and unimportant. Like you threw everything away and don’t deserve the chance to be happy. Were your mind is full of implications and assumptions about others.. even if they are true or not. You feel alone.. and don’t want to be hurt and that’s fine for a little while. You have a few days where you just ‘exist’ for the sake of existence. “All I do is hurt people and cause them problems. They know it, and I know it. It would be better if I just wasn’t a factor..” Mind set right?
Only to then have people check on you, make sure you ok.. and despite all seeming logic.. CARE about you. even if you don’t think you deserve it at all.

Its hell of a cycle and one I know WAY too well…
