Merchandising · 5:48pm May 30th, 2013
So, I already mentioned in an earlier blog post that I'm going to start selling merchandising on my stories to help fund my engagement ring, but I'm not quite sure of the designs yet. So, I'm here to ask you guys what you want. What lines or quotes from my stories would you want on a t-shirt or coffee mug?
Thanks!
Rarity's poster. That would be fan-fucking-tastic.
1114301 It being morbid makes me want it even more. I have a t-shirt with an undead Mona Lisa holding a M249 and a hoodie that looks like I don't have skin. Rarity's poster isn't much, but I would love it more than anything.
I would also love to have an officially published SLoR, and once BronyWriter and I go through it(provided we do), I will be printing it out for a second time.
If I had any money, I would so buy a t-shirt that says "And with all the 'quiet dignity and grace’ that I can muster, I walk up to Celestia, and punch her in the face."
And maybe a coffee mug with TD facepalming Oswald.
I watch long ago your creativity, but comes nothing to mind. Your stories are good, but have no serious emotional loading which would make them being remembered. The only thing that had a print: meeting with Celestia. Besides, to beat horses on a muzzle - far it isn't new.
"iron is too cold"
That or pretty much anything else Luna says in any of your stories along with a solid pic of said Princess.
You could do a couple from "Trolling the D.O.R.K.S. I&II". I'm particularly fond of "1543 years is a long time to get a joke, dear sister". One particular piece I would die for would be a picture of Oswald wearing sunglasses and walking in the Diamond dog's lair with the explosion in background. It would have my favorite Wanderings quotes as caption: "I know this may be a little soon, but if you croak here, can I have your bird?" Please make that a T-Shirt!
OK here's a good one! You know that image/shirt of where young anakin has the shadow of Darth Vader?.... if you don't look it up.... make that but with blossom and rairity!!!!and awesome new chapter of that story!!! Make sure I can buy your stuff using PayPal!!! I'll buy some!!!!
What you should do is take some of the things from Rarity's poster and put them on the shirts and mugs!
1114307 I would buy those two things.
1114333 I want the oswald one, and I want it now!
1114430 That's two votes for the brave little pheonix. Honestly something I would totally pay for. That, and I just love t-shirts.
1st: Plain black tee, with Rarity's rock and butcher knife, covered in a little blood, maybe a patch of skin or a bloodied feather laying next to it, with just SLoR (or fully written out) across the top.
2nd:
Maybe have a pic of crazy Twi in the background?
3rd: Actually, a great one would be either a tee with the CMC all covered in dirt and ash with the quote
that or the shirt itself looks to be covered in the ash with just that quote on it?
4th: Imagine a scene, looking at Pinkie Pie through a pane of glass, her face full of tears, hoof outstretched towards it as a syringe is stuck in her leg, the reflection of Scootaloo with a blank, unfeeling face ghosted upon the glass. THAT on a tee shirt. (actually a giant poster would be kick ass.)
5th: This is my favorite actually. Fluttershy in a suit, pointing angrily at Rarity saying
6th: I agree with y'all that the poster in Rarity's basement would be great, but I'd like to see it in actual poster form. Say 18" by 24" or 20" by 30"?
"I'm going to stab you in the throat with this pen!" On a coffee mug with a smiley face next to it... covered in blood splatters.
I'm just gonna be having a meeting with an extremely annoying customer, then I'm going to casually take a sip of my coffee while holding a ball-point pen.
Also, on a black t-shirt, "I was just taking a stab in the dark. Heh. Stab." While having Blossom standing over Dr. Brain with a pen stuck in his head.
A Black shirt with the quote "With all of the quiet dignity and grace that I can muster, I walked up to Celestia and punched her in the face." in dark blue letters with the New Lunar Republic flag on it.
Le sexy graphic tee of TD Shoryukening Celestia.
I dunno. Maybe a creative use of "Can I have that pen?" on a T-shirt? Or maybe "She's telling me to kill you"?
Apart of that, Rarity's poster and SloR in book form would both be awesome.
...Maybe blood-covered plushies?Or a poster with Rarity holding a katana?
Or with her during "work"?
I'm not big on buying pony merch, but I am more than willing to donate!
1114482 #3 FTW.
An Angry Dan punching Celestia across the face. The dan from Dan vs. . I'm too lazy to draw it but if it falls to me I'll do it. I'm sure an artist somewhere would be willing to do it for free.
Flipping through these suggestions, I can happily say that these are some wonderfully twisted fans you have here. This is a fantastic sub-fandom.
I don't have any suggestions but provided i can get the money I'll look toward picking up something.
how about a shirt with TD vs EQUESTRIA GIRLS I'd buy that
Id buy a tee with some cool quotes on it
It'd be nice to have something that shows the actual design of Reginald.
If you put Secret Life of Rarity into a paper copy, I'd buy that. SLoR is my fave story of yours, and if you put a scene from it on a tee shirt, I might be brave enough to wear it to my high school.
1115697 TD X Fluttershy would work then, if I got the hints right in The Incredibly Interesting Date with a Non-Winning Human.
I vote for the following:
Life size TSLoR robot, that follows me around and kills random co-workers.
A T-Shirt with Rarity's rules of things not to say.
A T-Shirt with Rarity carrying a "sack of potatoes." Because, the secret ingredient in Rarity's mashed potatoes are ponies!
TD punching Celestia in the face. Surely someone has fan-art'd that by now? The back of the shirt can be TD shooting Celestia in the face.
All hail the flour
