FAQ:
What is this? Tamers12345 is an artist with a single burning passion: the revival of the hit TV series Sonic Underground. Empowered by his love of SU and Bardonic (Bartleby x Sonic), Tamers has been working tirelessly for over a decade to raise the popularity of SU and force Sega to continue the show. Tamers' continuation of SU takes the form of animations released fortnightly that follow the cast's ongoing adventures. Tamers' continuation has been described as a mix between Always Sunny (where everyone's an asshole yet still likeable) and The Venture Bros (with its surprisingly deep lore and a running theme of the present not living up to the expectations of the past).
Is Tamers being ironic? No. Tamers has been making videos since 2010, and has hundreds of hand-drawn SU comics dating back to the early 00s.
Are the fans ironic? Also no. While most of us started watching it out of morbid curiosity, we came to love the characters and their struggles. The lore of SU is also surprisingly deep, with some plot points developing slowly over several years.
Okay, but how do I get into it? Just watch a few of his recent longer videos to see if it's something you're into. This playlist is a bit outdated, but has all of the main episodes up until 2021: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0U9kJDLvLDwDJ66rmlSyaqYsB8MPxCH0
Why is everyone talking about My Little Pony? In May 2024, Tamers released Sonic Underground X My Little Pony: Bardonic is Magic, which introduced the SU cast to the world of MLP. Since then, MLP has been spun into its own independent side series that's revitalized the MLP fandom and drawn in a large viewership. SU isn't going anywhere though, as Tamers has stated multiple times that he intends to continue both series.
So who is Tamers really? A small number of people seem to fixate on just who the guy inside the cardboard Bartleby costume is. The answer is he's just a guy that really likes Sonic Underground. Unrelatedly, it is interesting that no one has never seen Tamers and Black Butler mangaka Yana Toboso in the same place at the same time 🤔
>>8933 Same, I need my dysfunctional bickering idiots ;_; Still, it looks like we're getting something special for SU once the season final of MLP comes out Sleengo Sleengo, please domingo!
>>8926 Sonic The Hedgehog & The Extraordinary Yard Sale Adventure! Does anybody know the music track that plays at 9:09 when Bobby Moonbeam enters? It sounds like it might be from Stellaris but I don’t know, I haven’t played it in a long time. I wonder what a Mobian empire would look like in Stellaris?
I’ve noticed Aleena and Manic both share a signature bared teeth expression. It’s super cute to see inherited traits between Aleena and the hedgehoglets

>>9141 It sounds like Stellaris to me, but I wasn't able to work out which track. I tried to remove the voices and sound effects from the audio but wasn't able to get Shazam to id the track >I wonder what a Mobian empire would look like in Stellaris? I'd love to see Bartleby using his money to buy increasingly larger superstructures >>9152 Sonic and Sonia have done it at least once (when they were groping Aleena's butt), but it's mostly a Manic and Aleena thing since they're the more visibly horny of the Hedgehogs. It really is cute though!
>>9159 I went through some tracks, might be Robotics and Beyond from Synthetic Dawn ost? Robotics And Beyond
>I'd love to see Bartleby using his money to buy increasingly larger superstructures Bartlebuns builds a Dyson sphere and makes every electric company on Earth go bankrupt
https://x.com/TheTamers12345/status/1839722985588175267 New Tamerskino dropping 5pm, and even better, it's taking place in a bowling alley! 4chan thread (fair warning: it's moderately schizo, due to mariotehplumber-anon): https://boards.4chan.org/mlp/thread/41459285 https://desuarchive.org/mlp/thread/41459285 >>9177 I think that's it! >Bartlebuns builds a Dyson sphere and makes every electric company on Earth go bankrupt lmao, you just know it'd be solid gold and fancy af
So there won't be a massive finale as we expected because Tamers thought it was 'a huge mess' when he put it all together. We'll be getting separate episodes that will tie-off the current storylines on their own, he didn't comment if Sonic Underground would continue in October like last time so we'll just have to see.
>>9360 I’m eager for more Sonic Underground, but I respect how dedicated he is to his work. He always goes the extra mile, admirable work ethic (I know he’s white not ethic)
I recently watched Sonia Gets Suspended and it's kinda hard for me to put into words just how much it impacted me. I was a Tamers fan before, but now I legitimately consider him to be among my favourite artists. It's insane to me how profound of an affect this silly MS Paint Sonic cartoon has had on me, and just how attached I've become to these characters.
Also Flora is genuinely one of my favourite characters in fiction. I relate to her in more ways than I'd like to admit.
>>9370 >I relate to her in more ways than I'd like to admit Damn I’m sorry man In any case though I’m glad you’re enjoying his work. That’s a pretty good episode, I’m not usually into school settings but Tamers does it pretty well. I wonder if he’ll do any Disney channel original movies again soon? The High School Musical episode is underrated in my opinion. I guess he’s already technically crossovered with Spy Kids. I think Sonic Underground Camp Rock could be a lot of fun
>>9360 I think separate episodes will work out better. These stories always shine their brightest when there's breathing room to focus on the little slice of life moments and we wouldn't have time to see that unless the runtime was several hours. The amount of juggling that'd be necessary to integrate all the loose ends would probably be an absolute nightmare too. Speaking of loose ends, here's the ones I can think of: >Soarin and Scootaloo becoming alicorns >Brae/BM/Soarin love triangle >Twilight/Trixie/Celestia love/abuse triangle >Luna's resentment of Celestia >Shining/Candace/Chrysalis/BlueBlood love/abuse quadrangle >Celestia manipulating others into destroying Cloudsdale and Manehattan >Rainbowdash/Pinkie >Rarity's debt issues >>9362 Same. I'd rather wait a bit longer for more SU if it means season 1 of mlp gets the ending it deserves >>9370 Yeah, that episode was absolutely visceral, especially the way Flora almost revels in others' hatred and disgust of her. She's such a fascinating character, at once tragic, innocent, and duplicitous. I never know what to make of her >>9373 >I wonder if he’ll do any Disney channel original movies again soon? Oh man, The Luck of the Irish would translate into absolute Tamerskino
>>9381 They're both great, but Southern Dingo is absolutely iconic. TTS Sleet objectively works better than Season 1 Sleet's voice though. He just sounds too much like a generic henchman, which doesn't jell when he's playing the straight (lol) man to Dingo's outlandish behavior
>>9399 I think Sleet’s supposed to be a Russki. I definitely wouldn’t mind him having a cute Slavic accent. I agree though his original voice acting is too exaggerated.
>>9400 Slavic Sleet would be hella cute! Dingo is just so handsome, I'm honestly a little jealous of Sleet >>9417 Now that you mention it, that makes a lot of sense. Dude was so good at playing the villain
>>9421 Now that’s what I’m talking about, Slav Wolf x Texan/Aussie Dingo. For the time being, one more handsome Dingo pic His mohawk and body hair get me hot and bothered
>>9433 You just know Dingo's constantly shaking soda cans so Sleet gets a face-full, and that Sleet secretly likes it and who wouldn't! I'm honestly so jealous of Sleet
>>9438 I really want to see if anything happens between him and Robotnik >>9442 Sleet calls Dingo Dink-face and Dingo calls him "my friend," which is seriously cute >>9443 It's a surprisingly versatile word in the tamersverse
>>9507 Nothing’s quite like Sleet dropping his tough guy act and smiling for Dingo. >It's a surprisingly versatile word in the tamersverse Knux and Mark mean business with their “bitch,” Bartleby’s “bitch” is posh, Dingo’s bitch has a lot of SASS
>>9514 The song playing even says, "you are mine and I know that I am yours" when that pic scrolls into view Sonic Underground Ending - Magic Spell The ED, for those who haven't seen it.

>>9699 Looks like it's the yuribros' turn this time around, also an October 11th release date. I know Tamers said that he had to split up the episodes because he was displeased with the final product, which makes me wonder if he'll alter the upload schedule to either delay the MLP finale to November to make way for the SU Halloween special or if he'll commit to finishing MLP first and delaying the SU project. Maybe he'll do a double feature in the span of two weeks? At the end of the day it's his show and he can schedule it however he wants, it's not like I'm a mind reader or anything.
Tried posting this on /co/ but discussion has been dead on their since the MLP videos started gettin posted, so I'm dropping it here. Something I've noticed since Mindy House Sits for Bartleby and Loses Everything is how Flora is much more comfortable with using magic. Teleporting away after her fight with Mindy, incrementally mind-controlling Sonia, and possibly manipulating time itself if the theory about her interfering in Sonic and Knuckles' fight with the Russian kid is true. All of this spawned from her coming to the realization that she doesn't have to force herself to connect with people who clearly want nothing to do with her and in-turn doesn't feel the need to continue pleasing them. A chain that tethered her to the earth has been broken, but there are some that remain. Her faith in God and the Church is a strong one, when Sonia asked her if she could raise the dead she immediately refused citing it was 'witchcraft' (this is despite her crush on Sonia becoming more apparent). Not only that but during her squabble with Mindy she said she wouldn't live with them because she didn't want the church to discover her association with two Godless whores. What happens when that chain breaks? What happens when the church finds out about her partaking in magic? What if they find out about her feelings for Sonia?
>>9708 Now that you mention it, I think Flora’s cognitive dissonance has been getting more severe. I wonder if it’s a case of standard hypocrisy. Definitely possible, but there’s probably more to it than that. It could she delved into religion out of guilt for her magic powers or homosexuality, or both. I’ve seen it in real life time and time again, people that suddenly convert and fixate that hard on it are usually compensating for something.
>>9709 The sad part for me is that I believe that you can be a good Christian even if you don't go to church. "The church" is within yourself so long as your love for God is eternal. I remember my Security Guard instructor was a devout Christian and told me that he doesn't go to church since he realized it was a scam and unnecessary when your belief in God and repentance for your sins comes through prayer and following his word. I hope Flora realizes that, I don't want her to lose her faith in God but she needs to recognize that various institutions, especially the Catholic Church, utilize his teachings for their own personal gain. >t. agnostic
>>9708 From these character tropes and the obsession with homoeroticism, it's clear to me that Tamers12345 was likely raised religious (Protestant), later weakened in his beliefs, and embraced his homosexuality through fictosexuality.
>>9708 >What happens when that chain breaks? What happens when the church finds out about her partaking in magic? What if they find out about her feelings for Sonia? If they excommunicate her then she'd fucking lose it. If anything I'll bet that she'll convince herself that they're the one who've turned their backs on God and only use his word for their own ends. I expect her to pull a Martin Luther and make her own off-shoot church where she can interpret The Bible in a way to suit her own ends as well. I doubt she can cope in any other way.
>>9763 Thinking on it, that’s what so many of Flora’s issues come down to. She’s desperate for validation from others. Arguably to the point of harassment, like when she showed up to the Hedgehog’s birthday uninvited.
Another interesting point, it all could very well be intentional self sabotage on Flora’s part. Like when she joined cheerleading and didn’t practice, didn’t wear the uniform, and didn’t put any effort into the performance.
>>9765 It's really sad how accurate Tamers has nailed the depiction of autism, but I appreciate his earnestness. I'm closer to Flora on the spectrum barring a couple of behaviors since we grew up differently, but I share her situation of being diagnosed in her late teens and how I was not able to get the proper support until I was too far in. She's the only piece of autism represention that feels actually genuine to me.
Guys I think I just figured out what the SU Halloween Special is going to be, and it's been in front of our faces the whole time. Sonic Manic and Sonia celebrate their birthday at Chuck E. Cheese's and things go VERY wrong... >Ms. Prettybottom makes her first appearance since the Sonic Underground Halloween special back in 2015. Sonia finds the key she locked the ball-in-chain with next to her, stating that it was initially in the closet. Sonic Underground - Mindy House Sits For Bartleby And Loses Everything (Dedicated to Akira Toriyama) >Sonia recounts a recent experience where she woke up and found herself and her bed floating upside down, Mindy suggests that she should 'call an exorcist'. It's also implied there was more to this story while we were watching Bartleby fight off aliens and stealing their UFO. That fucking doll is coming back for revenge after nine years in the shadows. God help them, God help them all.
>>9772 Correction: Ms. Prettybottom has made her first appearance since the 2017 Halloween Special, I'm just rewatching it. In response to this egregious error, I've prescribed myself fifty lashes in order to please Tamers12345 for this lapse in knowledge. >>9774 This was my first guess too, I hope she finally gets her time to shine and complete her brainwashing of Sonia. Also the choice in music is great, I need to play more of the Ace Combat games.
10 on fucking 10. This movie was the best piece of content the MLP fandom has been graced with in years. And there's one more episode too, fuck me man this shit brings me back to the glory days of 2011-2012. God bless Tamers12345, may he be protected for all eternity.
>>9373 Something I noticed our shopping. The Mean Girls promo on the zero sugar Cranberry juice is honestly really cool. And it made me think “man, Sonic Underground Mean Girls would be bitchin beyond all belief.”
>>10029 Yeah it's people blatantly lying that Tamers has abandoned SU, which is bullshit since we know he's stated the series will return this month. He's a Sonic Underground Warrior first and foremost and will put it over the views and money he's accrued from his MLP vids. With that being said, I'm happy for him. It's crazy that he's got 35k subs now and it shows that people do love his MLP stuff. I predict he'll take a break from it to focus on SU but will eventually return to the pony show after a while, which I'm fine with since I get to constantly relive my MLP autism of years gone by but goddammit he should've gone with AppleDash instead of Rarijack.
>>10039 It genuinely makes me sad to see so many fans doubt Tamers. He is our undisputed, God ordained king of Sonic Underground. Really just goes to show there’s no pleasing some people.
>>10130 Good character design from Tamers, especially colors, and of course he knows a thing or two about color theory. I don’t always like two-toned or multicolored hair, but I like the palette he chose
Bitches always talking about Mindy's massive boobs, which are impressive to be fair. But not enough people appreciate Mark's bara pecs. Can't wait for the holiday specials this year
>>10359 Mindy's are only big because of copius plastic surgery, but considering Mark and his wife's bust/pec sizes she might've grown some big tits naturally via genetics. I blame Mandy's bad influenece on why Mindy got dragged into the world of body modding.
>>10372 Yeah I kind of always assumed that Mindy would of had natural large breast even without surgery. I mean Mark, the hunk that he is, has a larger chest than most women. Unfortunately Mindy's severe body dysmorohia and eating disorder are enabled/encouraged by her sister and father.
>>10428 She is, all the terrible, stupid decisions she makes she is just a teenager. And as much as Mark loves his daughter, in many ways he's a terrible father, as said he does absolutely nothing to discourage her lifestyle. I don't know if it would be much different if her mother was around. We know Mrs. LaTour basically let Mandy do whatever she wanted, except get plastic surgery twice the same day.
I just stumbled onto censored reuploads of tamers pony videos on a chinese video sharing site that remove all of the big asses, poop and farting, swears like fuck, and direct mentions of sex. His most recent video, "The Death of Twilight Sparkle" was shortend from an hour 5 minutes to roughly 47 minutes. This has to be one of the funniest finds I've come across. https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1yMCfY9ER1/
Out of curiosity I put together a video comparing the original upload of "The Death of Twilight Sparkle" and the censored version I found on Bilibili. I had first thought they only removed what they needed to, such as gore, hard swears, feces, etc. but they also removed a lot of parts that just had the ponies be off model. I guess they just thought they were ugly? Lol. The funniest thing to me is how the ending is incomprehensible. Because they can't show blood, and Flawless is covered in it, she's completely absent from the final fight. All the unicorns gather to fight... nothing, and then all fall from nothing, and then all cheer Rarity on for nothing. Original Vs. Censored for Chinese audiences (Fixed Audio)
>>10704 I don't think ive ever seen an unironic Mindyfag in the wild. Yeah there are those who like her casual street outfit but in terms of actual attraction there's not much I've seen.
>>10710 Idc what anybody says, Mindy is mad fucking funny, and when Tamers allows it really hot. I wish she was drawn cute more often, as you say her casual outfits look really nice
There's an episode where Bartleby and Sonic are flying overhead and all the side characters are looking up at them during a music crescendo. Does anyone remember which one this is?
>>10855 I don't ship it but god damn that's some nice fanart. Did you make it yourself? >Tamers is taking a whole ass month to make the SU Halloween Special Yeah he's never been particular about dates. I'm pretty sure he was late to the Hedehog's birthdays iirc
>>10700 Absolutely patrician taste! I'm so jealous of Sleet >>10711 The one with the beanie's really cute. Honestly, all of the main cast's alternate outfits are great >>10880 This is the other half of the season finale, which was cut from The Death Of Twilight Sparkle so it wouldn't run too long. I'm guessing it'll wrap up the SoarBurn-BraeMac love triangle but leave open other plot points. I posted >>9379 a while back and we still have most of those, and a few more: >alicorn Scootaloo >Shining/Candace/Chrysalis/BlueBlood love/abuse quadrangle >Celestia manipulating others into destroying Cloudsdale and Manehattan, and whatever messed up shit she's up to >Rainbowdash/Pinkie, and whether it will become more than a friendship >Rarity's depression/debt issues >Rarity/Applejack
>>10882 >Celestia manipulating others into destroying Cloudsdale and Manehattan, and whatever messed up shit she's up to I thought those were accidents. At the very least I'm pretty sure Cloudsdale was, I don't she would of attended the show if she expected an atomic rainbomb. Though if you have a theory or something, I'd be interested in hearing it.
>>10882 >This is the other half of the season finale, which was cut from The Death Of Twilight Sparkle so it wouldn't run too long. Did he sat this somewhere and I missed it?
>>10884 Yeah he did, it was either in a chat or a comment. He also said he has something special planned for Sonic Underground that he needs time for, so all the whining in the threads and comments is unwarranted. Though I'm well aware some people are intentionally trying to start shit.
>>10883 >I thought those were accidents. That's exactly what she wants you to think! My guess is that being in the uncontested god-emperor of Equestria for the last millennia has meant she's long run out of normal things to do and now passes the time with elaborate plots that have a chance of ending her existence >>10884 He mentioned it in a tweet or a youtube comment, but I can't seem to find it. The Death Of Twilight Sparkle went for just over an hour so keeping the Braeburn/Soarin/Big Mac plot would've either meant a 2 hour long movie or cutting some scenes >>10886 >spoiler He was also delayed by needing to find Max's voice, which he thankfully has now
>>10887 Interesting, I know in the Unicorncon episode she waxed poetic about how repetitive her life has been for thousands of years. I wonder if national disasters are the only way for her to have fun at this point.
>>10888 I think that's it exactly. Celestia's like a SimCity player that's built her perfect city, and now keeps clicking the natural disaster button to see what will happen
>>10900 Yeah I don't know how to feel about this either. On one hand it's cool that he'll be getting neat fanmade stuff but on the other it's a privacy risk. I just hope he's careful and has taken the downsides into consideration.

Decided to draw something celebrating best boy Soarin and the first season of the one true MLP
>>10915 It's something people had been asking about and does seem like a nice way to connect with fans without having to do conventions. I wouldn't worry too much about it, considering he's obviously aware of the schizos given the church reference in that video a while back.
Also, it's not like packages don't get checked before they reach their recipients. The USPS actually has its own police force, which is so flush with cash they spent millions bankrolling their own vanity tv show: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Inspectors
>>10936 That's one handsome horse. I need to learn to draw so I can make my own Tamers fanart eventually. >>10900 Come on, you bitches say that about everything. If anything, if he's that worried about anonymity, he can always wear the Bartleby costume. He's survived attacks from MODERN SONIC fans before, in case you've forgotten. Actual footage of a MODERN SONIC FAN trying to ATTACK ME
I need to make sure I stop by the Dollar General and get some popcorn
PSA: There's a scene cut from the YouTube version of the upcoming video but the whole uncensored episode will be up on Patreon (It's not NSFW, but you know how YouTube can be). There's a free tier so you should join if you want to watch it there
https://www.patreon.com/posts/my-little-pony-115629565 My Little Pony The Movie: Soarin & Braeburn >>10940 Thanks! Honestly, the best way is to just have a go at drawing stuff you like and not worry about it looking bad. I'm still not very good (or fast, that one took several hours), but I'm finally at the point where others can at least recognize the characters >Bartleby costume It's Bartleby armor, forged from the finest arts and crafts supplies to be completely impervious to M*dern Sonic fans
Image:173110274007.png(335kB, 1383x1460)Rough and Tumble in their original outfits.png
>>10951 Thanks man! I don't draw very often, but when I do just post it in threads here. Here's one I did of Rough and Tumble, who are pretty much Sleet and Dingo (and the only reason to ever read the IDW sonic comic). I'm still not very good at perspective
>>10957 There's so much to say but for now I'm just going to say Braeburn has a job to do, Soarin deserves the lay of his lifetime after everything he went through. Love that silver fox good and tender. >>10957 Well Shining Armor is single, but he's trouble. And I'd hate for him to break his wife's heart again. Big Mac has learned a lot of lessons and he needs a good stallion
>>10958 >There's so much to say but for now I'm just going to say Braeburn has a job to do, Soarin deserves the lay of his lifetime after everything he went through. Love that silver fox good and tender. Yeah, I could write forever about those gay horses too. I hope their character growth sticks >Well Shining Armor is single, but he's trouble. And I'd hate for him to break his wife's heart again. Big Mac has learned a lot of lessons and he needs a good stallion Now that would be a disaster relationship! I really don't know who he could end up with. There's so few stallions in the original show Maybe Big Mac can fuck Twilight's dad
>>8926 Sonic Underground is finally returning. The itch we've had for months is finally getting scratched. >>10976 So many interesting running gags surround her. Constantly gets her shit kicked in by other characters, her admiration for racism/Nazism, and her watersports fetish give me a chuckle every time. Seriously in my top five favorite characters.
>>10954 Gonna be honest and say that was a surprisingly frustrating watch for me personally. It felt way too cynical and mean-spirited (which I would be fine if it was played more for laughs like Tamers usually does, but this one took itself too seriously) and it also suffers from some serious bloat and pacing issues so it was a total drag to watch too. Ending also felt like a complete cop-out, as if Tamers had initially intended a way more somber ending before ultimately changing it to a happier one (I guess to avoid another "The Year Without A Christmas" situation?) without adjusting the rest of the plot to correlate with it.
I really hate being so critical too, because I can tell Tamers had a lot of fun working on this. The jokes are still on point, he really flexed his animation skills with the fight scene, and the song he collaborated with other MLP creators on was great, but the general plot for this one left a sour taste in my mouth. Definitely preferred TDoTS over it.
That said, would sissy Big Mac 100x. Me thinks he needs a spanking too. >:3
>>11058 It was pretty hard to watch Soarin go through everything he went through. I really hope Braeburn finally aprreciates him. Big Mac did pull some serious bitch moves this episode, you might have a point.
>>11061 Yeah, that's another big issue I have with the movie. Soarin got a ton of shit over his possessiveness towards Braeburn, but it completely sidelined Braeburn's own issues of being way too dependent on his partner and playing with people's hearts like that. Braeburn happily accepting Big Mac's proposal in front of Soarin (and would have seemingly stuck with it had Big Mac never convinced him to go back to Soarin) really just showcased how problematic the relationship actually is and leaves some bad implications from it going forward and the ending sugarcoating all of that made me feel uneasy. Tamers really shouldn't have taken the story in the direction he did if he always intended for them to be together in the end, and if he didn't, then I wish he could have committed to his original plan.
Exactly, plus it would bring the whole thing full circle. It's only fair that Big Mac gets to experience what he did to Braeburn and Soarin by their own hands if he's gonna start visiting them from now on.
>>11065 At the beginning of the episode I was actually kind of hoping for Big Mac x Soarin. I was happy to see how much he's developed, and that still stands. And I was getting fed up with Braeburn's attitude. But after all that stuff he pulled with Twilight I really rather him have nothing to do with Soarin at this point. The worst thing Soarin did was enable some of Braeburn's destructive behavior, which is hardly comparable to the things both Big Mac and Braeburn did. Soarin got hurt the most by far, but I guess life is often unfair like that. It's rough because I desperately want Soarin to be happy, but God damn it Braeburn honestly doesn't deserve him. Couldn't agree more, here's to hoping Big Mac gets his just desserts in Season 2. He needs a tough stallion that can give him a taste of his own medicine. I guess there's potential in Big Mac x Bluebood
>>11066 God, that illusion twist really pissed me off. It’s a genuinely interesting showcase on how fucked up Twilight and Big Mac are as people and should have had a much bigger impact on the narrative, but the fact it’s essentially treated as a nothing burger just makes it come off as needlessly cruel and really just adds to the film’s pacing issues. And yeah, it really did seem like he was hinting towards SoarMac, even as far back as the Arson episode when Soarin blushed at the sight of Big Mac, so it’s weird he backed down on it, but ultimately, I think the best possible ending for the arc would have been all three of them finally recognizing that they’re just not compatible for each other and how much their whole conflict damaged them mentally and ultimately agreeing to distance themselves from each other for a while so they could heal from their scars and perhaps in the future, maintain a more stable platonic relationship with one another and maybe find more suitable life partners for each other. Would have been so much more satisfying than forcing in a happy ending for an relationship that realistically isn’t going to work out well.
>>11058 I'm gonna do a big effortpost about the latest episode but for now I'll say I though it was fantastic, but can see why others might have had issues with some parts >>10977 Sleengo, Sleengo please domingo! >>11093 Yeah, their original SU personalities fit perfectly with the professional wrestling scene (that and they look good in skintight outfits) Dingo's hairy pits tho...
>>11260 Round 1's started, be sure to vote! https://boards.4chan.org/mlp/thread/41647695#p41655443 >>11273 Really great interview, glad he chose to use TTS for it. >>11280 lmao I was thinking the same thing! That whole arc was practically an episode of SU anyway
>>11289 lmao, yet more evidence that Tamers is actually Yana Toboso! Seriously though, I've never actually seen that one before and it looks like it's not in the Tamers archive. I've attached a copy for posterity >>11299 Rick's clearly a man of sophistication and taste
>>11339 >I've never actually seen that one before and it looks like it's not in the Tamers archive Huh, I checked and it's not in there, yet it's in the log from where I've downloaded his entire channel. That's concerning.
I'm gonna delete the log and do a fresh redownload of everything and see if anything else somehow got skipped over. I know the last time I did a full redownload it picked up that one LOTR video that had previously been privated after getting a copyright strike. I'm a little confused as to how it completely skipped over that video yet for some reason logged it as having been downloaded.
>>11351 YouTube's super weird about things so depending on what they've changed on the backend and how yt-dlp has countered it, things can potentially be missed. When I originally downloaded all those videos, the logs indicated I'd missed a few. I was able to get those, but this one wasn't even listed >>11352 Good idea. I've been meaning to do it myself
>>11354 Well, I did, and while I didn't see anything new, this time yt-dlp only got around 500 some videos with 200+ saying the content was unavailable. I know there's not over 200 videos missing from his channel and I used cookies so I wouldn't be stopped by age restriction or anything so not sure what's going on with yt-dlp
Episode was okay, just a bit too mellow. Him including G3 characters and elements feels reminiscing of the random crossovers SU loved doing. Rainbow Dash and Rarity farting on each other was really fucking funny too.
Still feel like the episode could have been better in a few areas, but it didn't leave a sour taste in my mouth like the last movie did, so it's fine.
Loved the foreshadowing for Flawless' return and maybe some G5 stuff too, btw
>>11440 Love me some SU x wrestling art (as rare as it is). I've been developing an SU wrestling AU recently because autism is a hell of a disorder. Here are my signatures, submissions, and finishers of those two. >Sleet Signature - Flying Knee Submission - Fujiwara Armbar Finisher - Brainbuster >Dingo Signature - Big Boot Submission - Texas Cloverleaf Finisher - DISCUSU LARIATOOO!!
https://x.com/TheTamers12345/status/1863290183770136634 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeRO6ETYEjvggFAr30-qSi32Mqpb9VWxr-A_0qeLX1LrXHyvA/viewform Tamers is doing another interview, fill out the form and maybe he'll answer your questions Be sure to do it by December 8th, though
>>11658 >Spec Oh fuck no. That guy is a total sperg ran off another outside creator in Shawn Keller. Also if this screenshot is real then he hasn't learned a thing.
>>11673 Yeah, I can almost assure that the reason Tamers posted the form to his Twitter without Spec's name attached is because he knew nobody would want to be associated with it if they knew Spec was involved in any way. I'm surprised people haven't commented yet on his Twitter that it's the same form Spec is using for his interview.
>>11679 You can submit multiple ones, so it won't save it like it would in, say, one of those popularity contest forms you'd see on /mlp/, where you only get one submission that can be edited before the deadline. It even says "submit another response" on the "Your response has been recorded." page
>>11869 I love that artist's stuff so much, I await his and Sleet & Dingo's return! It's a shame he doesn't seem to care for the ponies, though if I had to choose between him drawing Sleengo and him drawing Soarburn, of course I'd go for Sleengo
i wonder if SleengoAnon ever comes to these threads? hey SleengoAnon, if you're here and up for it, how about you draw Sleet sitting his fat butt on Dingo's face, for old time's sake?

Have you guys found any Tamers-like channels/videos on You Tube? I've been following this guy Deano Facking Ambrosay who makes AI content involving the wrestling faction The Shield in a middle school setting with other wrestlers. It's pretty funny but I would say it's a lot funnier if you actually follow pro wrestling, but give it a shot if you want. https://www.youtube.com/@DeanoFnAmbrosay
>>11976 I found this guy on DA named ArtbyThanasi then later found out he had a youtube channel. I love his artstyle the way he draws the animals is really cute and I genuinely think he has some really good designs. He tends to delete or maybe just unlist a lot of videos because I see he only has like 70 some videos on his channel rn but I've seen hundreds from him pop up in my sub box. https://www.youtube.com/@ThanasiPapoulias He's been trying to make a cartoon and usually just posts slides or drawings from animations that aren't finished yet. I've seen some of his animations and they're pretty stiff but the art is nice at least. He also draws a lot of the samey poses of a character just standing with their arms at their sides. Sometimes he sings in them and well... it's not good lol. Bad mic quality and nonsensical lyrics aren't really a good combo. I've also noticed he takes a lot of gags from spongebob, like out of the few animations I have seen from him some of them end with literally word for word scenes from spongebob episodes. All of that aside I think he's a good artist with a lot of room to grow and felt like sharing his channel. Dudley Duck: Duck Adventurer artwork slideshow-December 2024
>>11355 I was sure I'd replied to this, sorry ;_; When companies claim the music rights to videos, they can also region-lock the entire video (e.g., some Japanese company restricts the content to Japan because Tamers remade their anime's intro with SU characters, but kept the music). It doesn't help that YouTube purposefully fucks with with their backend at random so yt-dlp is always playing catchup >>11382 I haven't counted, but I'm sure that ship got more AMVs than knuxonia >>11425 >spoiler Yeah, that was great >>11627 l-lewd! Same >>11675 The real question is will Tamers take him out Joker-style at the end of the interview >>11712 Yeah, I may not agree with it but I absolutely love Kelly-style political cartoons >>11859 Very nice anon! >>11862 Same >>11916 I miss chatting with him in the 4/co/ threads, but he is active on his socials at least. I'd link to them, but I don't remember him identifying himself on 4/co/ and I'd rather respect his privacy. I don't know him personally, but I am a fan and recognized his artstyle >>11976 Nothing can really compare to Tamers, but I do enjoy the Life in Jars YouTube channel. It's just a (cute) guy making closed ecosystems in jars and narrating what happens to them over the years. It's not that Tamers-esque, other than it's comfy to watch and extremely niche-interest https://www.youtube.com/@LifeinJars
If I had to pic something Sonic-related, it'd be Caleb Artboy's stuff. He's got a really great eye for design and posing, and does all of his videos(?) motion-comics(?) by drawing them on his phone (he's a zoomer so I don't think he even owns a computer). We actually storytimed his comics a while back https://www.youtube.com/@calebartboy7620
https://x.com/TheTamers12345/status/1867884949212377366 Looks like Tamers' Christmas episode for this year is going to be an MLP one! Also, I love seeing couples have accessories that match their spouse's main color
>>12141 Can't wait to see what he has planned! I never expected him to "crossover" with other my little pony generations. It's to bad that in any case, there's so few stallions for him to work with. The severe lack of male characters is the biggest weakness of the pony shows. Not any fault of Tamers, he does the best with what he has. Especially since so many cartoons these days either are heavily female focused, or the male characters just suck. Can't say I don't miss our Sonic underground boys. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, every week that passes I think I love Sonic Underground a little more. As much as I love Knuckles, Sleet, and Dingo if anybody is due an episode I reckon it's Mark Latour.
Tamers thread on another site. Pretty dead, so we should liven it up. https://rottingangels.org/carcom/res/10.html I’m not affiliated with them, I just think it’s a neat place
>>12211 Thanks for the recommendation! They're both really sweet in this. Pretty similar to how I imagine them too, shy Sleet and enthusiastic Dingo. Sleet wagging his tail while cuddling with Dingo is seriously cute
>>12243 I pray for the day that Tamers animates Sleet's tail wagging, even if it'd be this kind of tail My favorite part is Sleet being too shy to say "I love you", but Dingo says "I love you, too"
So now that we've gone four months without SU content, what are your opinions on Tamers' MLP stuff? Personally I'm enjoying it but that's with the added enjoyment of reconnecting with pony after all these years (stopped keeping up with the show after Season 7, got through S8 a couple years ago but I could not bring myself to finish S9, that shit is ass). That being said the withdrawals have been getting to me hard, even with the hint in the latest pony video that this might all be in Sonic's head when we hear Uncle Chuck's voice when Derpy is flying away. My Little Pony: Sunny Starscout meets Twilight Sparkle Also the next episode is going to be a Hearth's Warming Eve special if his Twitter is anything to go by. I'm trying to be patient, I'm trying to weather the storm, and even if I still like those videos every time I see a pony thumbnail I get more an more demoralized even though I know for a fact he'll eventually return to SU. I have to start meditating or some shit.
>>12293 They're generally pretty good and honestly, you get the sense they were the much needed change of pace Tamers needed, especially with how a lot of the SU stuff we got this year was a bit on the weaker side. I like his characterizations of the cast, the art and animation is easily some of his best yet, and him trying to have a more cohesive narrative with proper continuity between episodes shows great improvement in his writing. They're also just really funny with the Bowling episode in particular being one of my new favorite Tamers videos.
Haven't been a fan of the last couple of episodes, though. The Soarburn movie was honestly just dreadful and a huge letdown to me (especially coming off of DoTS and the great setup Arson left us on.) and the G3 and G5 episodes afterwards were also just really meh. I'm hoping the Hearth's Warming episode is something truly special, otherwise I'm gonna really start feeling the Pony fatigue.
>>11976 It's not necessarily an SU-like but I revisited Murdoch Murdoch a while after it ended a couple years ago and it made me realize why I gravitated towards Tamers12345 so much. I love surrealist/absurdist comedy that pushes the limits of what's considered "acceptable" for a long time, and even if MM is still a white nationalist cartoon it's still fun. I don't expect any of your to like/agree with it, but it's definitely a great piece of internet comedy that follows a lot of Tamers' beats. They're a lost part of internet content creation that I hope we get back someday, their videos have powered white people more than any ADR broadcast or AI-translated Hitler speech could ever could. Istead we relied on these patriots over any commie conglomeration or bot could. For those who see the initial rely I fucked up.
