MLP Rule 34 Update: Mar. 2013 / Season Three Wrap Up · 3:36am Mar 6th, 2013
It's the fifth of the month, so you know what that means...
That's right! It's time for another in-depth analysis on clop!
Specifically, I'm talking about Rule 34 statistics. For those of you who have missed the previous entries into this series, I've archived them below.

Let's get to it, shall we? I can't hold back any longer.
(Poor Rarity) 
As of Mar. 5, 2013, here's the state of Rule 34, according to Rule34.paheal.net:
Pokemon still holds the lead with 57,871 images. 1,096 new explicit images were added during February, giving Pokemon a 1.9% increase in porn from last month.
Touhou is in second place with 35,751 images. 1,561 new explicit images were added during February, giving Touhou a 4.5% increase in porn from last month.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is in third place with 25,651 images. 1,483 new explicit images were added during February, giving My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic a 6.1% increase in porn from last month.
DC Comics is in fourth place with 19,948 images. 397 new explicit images were added during February, giving DC Comics a 2% increase in porn from last month.
Street Fighter is in fifth place with 15,114 images. 533 new explicit images were added during February, giving Street Fighter a 3.6% increase in porn from last month.
Naruto is now in sixth place with 14,947 images. 1,185 new explicit images were added during February, giving Naruto a 8.6% increase in porn from last month.
Marvel Comics is in seventh place with 14,041 images. 271 new explicit images were added during February, giving Marvel Comics a 1.9% increase in porn from last month.
Sonic Team is in eighth place with 11,581 images. 280 new explicit images were added during February, giving Sonic Team a 2.4% increase in porn from last month.
Digimon is in ninth place with 10,206 images. 111 new explicit images were added during February, giving Digimon a 1% increase in porn from last month.
For the second month in a row, My Little Pony did not produce the highest amount of explicit imagery. That honor this time goes to Touhou, which gave us more jerk off enablers in February than any other intellectual property. Even though I did some research on Touhou in February, the series as a whole is still mostly a mystery to me. If anyone knows what prompted Touhou to nearly double its porn output last month, let me know.
Off the top of my head, I'm going to contribute Touhou's inflated porn numbers to the sheer amount of doujin manga published each month. These are self-published comics; many of which are explicit in nature. Touhou has several thousand pornographic mangas available.
Due to rule34.paheal.net being an image site, as opposed to a comic site, any comics longer than six pages are moved to their sister site, rule34c.paheal.net, which specializes in sequential porn. Since each page of the comic counts as its own post, these shorter comics help to pad Touhou's numbers. If full-sized mangas were allowed to be posted on rule34.paheal.net, Touhou's numbers would exponentially increase.
My Little Pony is no stranger to explicit manga.
As the series gains more exposure in Japan, we can safely predict that the production of MLP doujin hentai mangas will continue to increase.
Which leads me to a "novel" idea. Would anyone be interested in seeing comic adaptations of clopfics? 120 Days of Blueblood would certainly put the "graphic" in graphic novel.
My story Marshmallow Holes is a clopfic that was inspired by an explicit manga. To have Marshmallow Holes presented as a hentai comic would allow the concept to come full circle.
In spite of these monthly updates focusing on pornographic imagery , there's a reason why I write clopfics as opposed to creating explicit pictures. For one thing, I can't draw. Another reason is that I much prefer words to images. In my opinion, a well-written clopfic is much more... engaging than a still image. Comics try to be a happy medium; blending words with imagery.
The problem that I have with most of the porn comics out there is that it seems like a vast majority of them, (especially mangas), use the same tired "porno" dialogue we've all heard a million times before.
We have a lot of talented clopfic writers on this site, who present unique concepts in an entertaining and titillating way. We don't have erotic pictures to mask poor writing. The words have to stand on their own merit. I think that comic versions of clopfics could rejuvenate the sequential spank material as a whole. People who read MLP porn comics would see that you don't have to follow a set formula and include the same stock dialogue in your hentai mangas; but I digress...
EDIT: It's happening...

Since the start of this year, Naruto has seen a steady increase in porn production. This is due, in part, to an announcement by the series creator that a particular gay pairing would be made canon.
"...“Masashi Kishimoto, creator of Naruto, who openly declared that he liked Shounen-ai, his favorite pairing was SasuNaru and that he was going to give the manga an end of that nature. Though it’s going to be an open-ending, (giggity) it will be perceptible that Sasuke and Naruto end up together...”
Mini Conference – ExpoAnime (USA)
Having never watched the anime, I'm wasn't sure who Sasuke was. All I knew about Naruto was that the main character had blonde hair and wore an orange jump suit.
After a quick YouTube search, I found out more about the Sasuke/Naruto pairing.
With scenes like this included in the show, I'm surprised their relationship managed to remain a secret for so long...
Naruto beat out Marvel comics and is now only 167 pornographic images away from catching up to Street Fighter.
It's safe to say that by April Naruto will be the fifth-largest porn producing intellectual property. Believe it!
Before I forget, here's an update on Rule 34 images for the mane six:
Twilight Sparkle
has 3,901 images. 167 explicit images were added during February, giving her an 4.4% increase from last month.
Rainbow Dash
has 3,488 images. 160 explicit images were added during February, giving her a 4.8% increase from last month.
Pinkie Pie
has 3,046 images. 144 explicit images were added during February, giving her an 4.9% increase from last month.
Fluttershy
has 2,917 images. 122 explicit images were added during February, giving her a 4.3% increase from last month.
Rarity
has 2,425 images. 115 explicit images were added during February, giving her a 4.9% increase from last month.
Applejack
has 2,379 images. 132 explicit images were added during February, giving her a 5.8% increase from last month.
Congratulations to Pinkie Pie for accumulating more than three thousand explicit images! We knew you could do it!
Special thanks to Infinion, who made these nifty graphs of the data I collected.
You may have noticed with this new third graph that the number of new MLP porn has been trending down since December. I had hoped to see a month which produced more than 2,000 new images. I don't know if we'll see it. It'll all depend on what Season four brings...
Now with season three over, we have a long spring and summer of waiting before we have any new material to turn into porn. The good news is that the fourth season of MLP has been confirmed to have twenty six episodes. I can't wait!
The fact that we were left with Twilight's alicorn transformation as a season finale was a little baffling. Whether you love or hate the new direction the show is going, all the brony community can do now is sit and speculate on how the writers will manage to salvage the series continue the story from here on out.

What's the biggest controversy of season three?
The "Fighting is Magic" team receiving a "cease and desist" order from Hasbro. 79 34%
I don't care about any of these issues. 37 16%
The revelation that Twilight Sparkle is now an alicorn princess. 32 14%
Rumors of a "humanized" MLP series called "Equestria Girls." 31 13%
Hasbro removing MLP fan-based parodies from YouTube. 29 13%
The producers of the "Bronies" documentary attempting to shame the fandom for rampant piracy. 16 7%
Reduced number of Derpy cameos in episodes. 6 3%
Some of these results were surprising. There was a dead even split for the favorite episode of the season. I've already made a clopfic based on Magic Duel, so maybe I should make one based around Sleepless in Ponyville.
It would feature Princess Luna invading Scootaloo's dreams. The Princess of the Night would teach Scootaloo how to conquer her fears.
"I'm scared of the Headless Horse," Scootaloo said, "I know Pinkie Pie says I've got to face my fears, but it's harder than it looks."
"Facing one's fears is so cliche," Luna said, "If you really want to not be scared, you've got to fuck your fears away."
"Excuse me?" Scootaloo said, blushing.
"It's impossible to fear something while fucking it," Luna said.
Luna summons the Headless Horse, who has a raging erection. Luna then teaches Scootaloo how to give head to the Headless Horse.
"It's so big and veiny," Scootaloo said. She felt a strange mixture of revulsion and awe.
"I think you'll find it's harder than it looks," Luna said, smiling.
Luna begins fellating the Headless Horse. His stumpy neck wiggles like a worm as his body tingles with delight.
"You see," Luna said, "The Headless Horse isn't scary. He was just frustrated because he wasn't getting any head."
Once Luna demonstrates how to give a proper blow job, Scootaloo tries it out.
I might have to write that one of these days...
One thing's for sure, there was an enormous consensus on Spike at Your Service being the worst episode of Season Three. I'd argue that it's the worst episode of the series thus far. I've already talked about this particular episode at length. It seems like some writers just don't know what to do with Spike.
It shows a lack of respect for Spike when writers manipulate his personality to suit their needs. Hmm...
How about a femdom clopfic with Spike forced to play the role of a submissive bitch? We could have Merriwether buggering Spike with an enormous strap-on. Spike would wear an emasculating French maid's outfit as Merriwether whips him. She would look how she's appeared in all my blogs. As the blue fairy from Sleeping Beauty. (Would this count as a Disney crossover?)
"Applejack asks you to bake a pie," Merriwether said, "What do you do?"
Spike bit his tongue as he tried to focus through the pain.
"Uh... I do a good job, because I've proven myself to be a proficient baker in the past," Spike said.
He screamed as Merriwether pulled on his tail and slapped his ass.
"Wrong!" Merriwether said, "You'll mess it up because it's funnier that way!"
Spike started to cry as Merriwether shoved the blunt end of the riding crop into his ass.
"Alright!" Spike said, sobbing, "I'll be clumsy! I'll ruin everything! Just please pull it out!"
And before anybody says anything, I'm aware that Merriwether Williams had help in writing Spike at Your Service, so not all the blame for that story can be placed at her feet. I'm just still upset with how she treated Spike in Dragon Quest.
The biggest controversy of season three was even tied to the show itself.
What happened to Fighting is Magic was like a Greek tragedy. Specifically, the story of Icarus. The Mane6 team flew too close to the sun, tempted fate, and got burned.
Fortunately, this story may have a happy ending, as Lauren Faust has stepped in to help design all new characters for the game. I can't wait to see what she comes up with.
Well, that's all for this month. Thank you for reading and please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section.
God that first gif gets to me every time
ok
yay
That Sleepless in Ponyville clop idea.
Do it.
I mised you.
I would love to see my story as a manga no doubt.
I can't help but feel that Fighting is Magic is going to be better off with OCs designed by the creator of the best OC, Surprise.
nice update
I wil agree that Spike at your Service was the worst episode of season 3. But ill admit i think it had one good ponit. Applejack's actions at the beginning and end of episode.
was willing to sacrifice herself so Spike could get to safety. She is really starting to go up in terms of favorite ponies. Out of mane six, shes now about tied for 
for #3.
A very informative post, as always.
With regards to Spike at Your Service, that's what Spike saw in King Sombra's nightmare door in the Crystal Empire.
Fighting is Magic... I don't care for it, because i'm waiting for Gears of War: Judgment, which I believe to be far more important.
We need more Rainbow Dash clop images, less Twilight Sparkle because her hair style is ugly.
Naruto is a brony?! Hell yeah! Naruto and Sasuke might have a gay relationship?! WHAT THE HAY, PEOPLE ALWAYS BUGGERED ON ABOUT THAT, oh man... I guess they are good for eachother, even though Sasuke is a scumbag.
MLP will be on top, death to Pokemon, disgusting, vile creatures!
Wonderbolt Academy imo was the greatest episode of mlp ever (I LOVE IT SO MUCH), but I agree that the Spike episode was terrible.
Can i use one of your blog posts in a story im writing? specifically this blog post
Oh the head puns that would come out of this story *facedesk*...okay I did laugh at it. You should totally write this sometime ^.^
...aaaand it's gone. That just gives me a disturbing mental image >.<
Oh god, that Merriwether bit had me in tears xD.
I was actually surprised that Keep Calm and Flutter On got third place. Every time I see people talking about that episode no one seems to like it. Mostly because they feel Discord's character got ruined. I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in liking it though :D
~Have a good one.
This is very indepth, i cant even tell you how impressed i am.
Here take this
Amazingly cool. Im glad someone is putting time into this. Really wish i could give slmething in return for this absolutly perfect report... Blog... Thing.
So thankyou,
Kj
P.S. i have been asking everyone and noone knows yet. Da fuck is the deal with the harlem shake?
Yeah, I agree with the Fighting is Magic thing. They kinda went too extravagant with it... practically instantly and always sending their things to EqD, releasing their music on youtube, all these fancy promos...
I can't blame them, though, when it came to EVO and that stuff. Who wouldn't accept? But if they weren't so public with it, they wouldn't've received that stuff. But then again, why wouldn't you show off your hard work's labour?
So much yes there...I would love that!
On vaugly the same topic: considering that you were willing to dig up one of the more horrible (ie: good) pieces of horror manga and turn it into a generally clopperific clop-fest, I was wondering if you were aware of the series Franken Fran. It would seem like it would be roughly up your ally, for reasons easily apparent.
Also, freaky medical-based porn is the best sort of porn, aaaaannnnd this is where I pretty much say if your not going to write something related to it, I might.
Out of a sense of duty.
The Best thing to come from Spike at Your Service is all the
clopficsstories. Applejack gets a backrub is a great and enjoyable read.Yeah, Spike at your Service... see, the thing is, I tend to be a very forgiving guy. Almost 100% of the time, I really enjoy each new episode of pony, and any potentially controversial elements in some episodes just sorta fly over my head and I don't notice them until everyone starts talking about them, with Mare Do Well and Dragon Quest being the prime examples (even now I don't dislike those eps, even if I can understand why other people do). But SayS... that was probably the first episode of pony that did not thrill me, and I'll leave it at that.
On a lighter note, I cracked a huge grin when it was announced that FiM was gonna get dubbed into Japanese. It's gonna be interesting to hear the official dub, and apparently they're gonna reveal Twilight's and Fluttershy's voice actors sometime this month (I'm crossing my fingers hoping that Mamiko Noto is voicing Fluttershy). That... and of course, the doujinshi crowd. If FiM manages to gain a real foothold over there, it'll be very interesting to see what the long-term results will be.
Illustrated clopfics? Why not? I know I've got a few favorites that I would love to have adapted.
I'm very excited about the future of Fighting is Magic. Those guys are living the dream now that Lauren Faust is working with them. ^_^
(and thanks to the devious modders of our community, as well as the fact that Mane6 is only changing art assests and not game mechanics, we'll likely be getting our pony fighter anyway)
What was wrong with dragon quest? I'm a huge Spike fan and I thought that episode did him well... Did I miss something?

In "Dragon Quest," the mane six all acted like jerks towards Spike. Rainbow Dash made fun of his apron and they all laughed at him. Dash also called him a "lame dragon." The mane six practically make Spike feel ashamed for being a dragon. "You're not like other dragons, but why would you want to be?" I'd have an existential crisis too if all my friends were unabashedly prejudiced towards the other members of my species.
I thought this episode had real potential, but it devolved into another "standing up to bullies" episode. Don't get me wrong; it's a good lesson that kids need to be aware of, but this story could've been so much more. Read this blog post if you want to know more of my feelings regarding this episode.
893812 I read through the blog you linked (it was very well thought out btw, liked it a lot). I think you are right about how it is out of character for so many of the mane six to tease spike or for RD to call him lame. That just doesnt seem like them.
The only thing I disagree on is the idea that it is wrong that he is pushed away from his dragon nature. In the show dragons are shown to be jerks old or young, so they aren't something to emulate. Then in Secret of my ecess Spike's dragon nature nearly destroys ponyville and...well I dont want to think of what he was gonna do when he got Rarity to that cave...
My point being that denouncing his dragon heritage seems like a good thing to do if he wants to be an upstanding individual and not a greedy jerk aka a dragon. I applaud Spikes actions in embracing a better way to live.
"What is better, to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort? "-Paarthurnax
PS: I am totally with you on the Peewee thing, was very glad when they showed the picture of Spike returning the bird to it's parents.
Dude I don't know what to think anymore after seeing those pictures!!!!!!!!
I love you for that Icarus comparison.

Did I mention my favorite episode is Sonic Rainboom?
Those who do not learn from Greek mythology are doomed to repeat it.
893365
That makes so much sense.
In Spike at Your Service, Twilight was also wildly OOC. She's never been so distant towards Spike before or since.
In the Owl's Well That Ends Well episode, Twilight was oblivious to Spike's jealousy, but that was because his fears were unfounded. In SaYS, Twilight was downright negligent towards Spike.
From what I've read, SaYS had a troubled production.

Looking back on it, I may have been too critical towards the episode in my initial review. It was definitely one of Merriwether's best stories. I may do a retrospective on it one of these days...
893418
You can use the information if you want. I will caution you that the mods don't take kindly to "meta" stories. (I found that out the hard way.) Use the blog post however you want; just be careful.
893432
Not being a strict villain allows Discord to be more like his Star Trek counterpart, Q.
In Star Trek, Q was an omnipotent trickster, who wasn't inherently evil. I really hope we see Discord return in the fourth season.
I'd love to see an episode where alicorn Twilight misses her old life and wishes things could be like they were before she became a princess. Discord would appear to show her how things would be different if she never became an alicorn.
That would be awesome.
893530
You might enjoy reading Taming of the Screw. It's one of my earlier stories set within a mental hospital. My writing style wasn't as refined in those days. I'd like to go back and tweak some of the dialogue, but for what it is, it's pretty good.
So, you did an in-depth statistical analysis, then used it as a source of clopfic inspiration.
24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcttm4eO9y1r3k1m8o1_500.png
Well, numbers and graphs were involved, so I had fun.
Also, it seems like it would be even less scary if Scootaloo got her fears to screw each other.
Yeah, never mind, that would be terrifying.
Oh, wait. The Olden Mare.
894481
Instead of asking who took her 'rusty horseshoe,' she'd be asking who took her greasy butt lube.
I'm going to learn how to draw just so I can make that dream (nightmare?) a reality.
Rule 34 of....Street Fighter? I swear, I have never thought of this before. Too many guys though. Too many guys....
In any case, comic adaptions of clopfics would be pretty damn awesome. Comic adaptions of other fics, not just sex, would be even more awesome.
So, in short: every Spike episode sucks.
I do not dispute this conclusion.
894270 Thank you. By Celestia's great flanks, so amazing.
120 Days of Blueblood is only meant for those not weak of heart..only with a fucked sense of reality and morals. Also
THAT NARUTO VID WAS HILARIOUS!
Write the Clop!
This must never be made lest the human race is to survive. Then again if someone were to start drawing this they would go into shock when they finished one page due to.... well you know.
You have to do the Sleepless in Ponyville clopfic. It would/will be amazing.
Always quiet impressed by the time you put into these heh.
On a note of the first gif though: (and got this hurled at my during a ... very peculiar discussion: Did you know mares are natural squirters, and have a about equally thick cum as stallions x3)
Though on a side note, kinda wonder what fandom that produces the most "good/high quality" porn... know I've seen a decline when it comes to the pony fandom.
Much as I love MLP, and respect the folks making doujinshi of it, we will never rival touhou. There are about 40 MLP doujin on e-hentai, and an unknown number left unscanned (as books published at smaller conventions like kemoket are less likely to end up online).
In comparison, there are about 5500 touhou H-doujins on the internet, with an uncountable number left unscanned. The series has an entire annual convention dedicated to it (reitaisai), while also being one of the most popular things at the biannual comiket convention.
(I know I'm late to the party with this, but wanted to provide some context, since so many people read your blog archives)

Thanks for your interest in this topic. The blog post mentioned Touhou's numbers being handicapped due to the exclusions of full mangas.
You're right. If manga pages were counted on the site, Touhou would have more porn than Pokemon and My Little Pony combined.
