Sparkleheart Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Okay, seriously, where and how did this start? Seems to be fairly popular, if EQD's drawfriends are any indication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accellerant Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 I haven't been watching the EqD drawfriends for a while, but I do remember seeing a Rarity VS Giant Enemy Crab pic months ago.I'd like to say that it stemmed from a fanfic, or perhaps a video on the youtubes.But It's most likely due to the prominent Giant Enemy Crab meme of '06. Heck, it's been 7 years but I still get a good chuckle out of how bad Sony's E3 conference was back then! Ah E3, you've had quite a selection of memorable moments...I guess you could say that due to the popularity of the Giant Enemy Crab meme, coupled with the continual reappearance of Rarity VS Crab pics (fuelled by the popularity of the first manifestation), this may be is turning a meme unto its own (a meta meme if you will.) It wouldn't surprise me if we slowly begin to see "X Pony VS Giant Enemy Crab" pics begin to surface.Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go watch a classy Kamen Rider Decade scene.

Rosewind Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 Pony has a strong remix culture, and memes are no exception. I too think the Giant Enemy Crab meme is what started the thing with Rarity, which might have been inspired by all the information about next-gen gaming consoles and the train wreck that was Sony's conference back when it was debuting the PS3.

BaconofChaos Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 As I understand it, it started when someone decided they wanted to see Rarity vs. a giant crab, so they commissioned a whole bunch of artists to draw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunOfTheMonster Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Umm, Rarity wins? Personally I think she would defeat the creature and then make a beautiful **** quiche to share with all her friends! Then again ponies are herbavores... Maybe she would use its shell as decorations for ocean themed dresses? The more I think of it the less I am sure what it all means... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSwirl Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Coral Trousers maybe? And then Mario and Luigi have to do a surfing mini game to win a pair? Sounds like a great idea for that giant crab shell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteryMareDoWell Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'd say fanfics are a highly possible source. After all, Derpy was deemed a mailmare before she even showed up as a delivery mare in Feeling Pinkie Keen. And that job seems to have stuck ever since. All it takes is one poplular person doing something for it to catch on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
