Fluffy Ponies originated around 2011 as a spin-off of the 'My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic' fandom, specifically on 4chan's /mlp/ board. These creatures are characterized by their extreme fluffiness, short legs, and child-like speech patterns, often obsessed with 'sketties' (spaghetti). The community surrounding them is split into various categories, including 'hugbox' and darker interpretations involving their extreme fragility. This meme template captures the unique aesthetic of the 'Fluffies,' serving as a tool for both surreal humor and niche internet storytelling that has persisted for over a decade across various image boards and dedicated communities.
