I hope they don’t fart on him

@Background Pony #029C
She’s all over the place for a number of reasons. Sphinxes have an entirely different moral code than ponies, so it’s pretty hard to pin her down as “good” or “bad” by any comprehensive standard, and there’s thousands of years between some of those pictures so she has changed somewhat over time. She’s honestly a gigantic pervert, but by her standards it’s always 100% consensual because her challenges always involve “winner gets to do whatever they want with the loser.” By sphinx standards she IS friends with Somnambula and Hisan, as they keep coming back for more: to her it’s akin to a friend who keeps losing to you at Mario Kart. Even when Hisan first challenged her and demanded she stop taking her food, her response was to do the same thing sphinxes do to settle all of their grievances: a sphinx challenge. They go to a place to be one-on-one, Hisan as the one with the grievance names his issue and how it can be resolved, Sphinxy as the accused names the challenge and what she gets if she wins, and if they agree they begin. It’s why Sphinxy got a second-chance when Somnambula beat her the first time: Somnambula had to win twice, one to free Hisan from his bonds (what he had to do since he lost their challenge) and once to settle the original grievance :D

@Badumsquish
So wait, hold on, does that mean that the Sphinx is actually a lust-driven explicit giant monster and these aren’t canon?

I’m bloody confused mate, let me tell ya… So, she isn’t actually this nice or she’s seldom like the pics shown in this comment, and most of the times she’s a lust devil of sorts?

Or they were scenarios where the winner of the riddle wasn’t the Sphinx and the winner asked something like “Let’s be friends!” or stuff as the winning condition?

@Background Pony #9326
It’s just the risk you take being friends with a sphinx XD

@Skunk Bunk
I consider the sirens to be the largest, overall, and the Tantabus the largest if we’re counting creatures with variable size :D

@Background Pony #17CF
Yeah. Overall she’s not a horrible person. She only really seems to be motivated by laziness and wanting food, and really didn’t seem to go out of her way to be cruel to those under her thumb. Them suffering was a byproduct of her not caring about them, rather than her deliberately putting them in chains like Sombra or torturing them like Discord. It’s safe to assume too, since there’s no other record of her other than from that one small region of Egypt Ponies, that she never really bothered ponies again after her defeat :D

@Background Pony #9326
At the end of the day she’s still a villain. She’s just a villain with particular rules she follows very strictly.

In your version of MLP, would you say these two are the largest sapient characters?

Oof… so she will still do sexual things to me if I lose a riddle? I can’t ask her to not do sexual stuff? I know I would feel extremely awful if something explicit like that happened I’m like a priest lol.

In such case I’ll be her friend but not do any riddles with her, and study pretty much all the riddles known to man first >.>’.

I thought she would value other people’s limits D:. Guess she doesn’t xd, ripperoni in mozarella me DX

@Background Pony #9326
The trick is, is you have to win her riddle game. Winner gets to do whatever they please with the loser. You want something innocent, like napping on her chest floof or what have you, you gotta get better at those riddles XD

Wait, so actually she does that to friends? What if I’m her friend, but I’m asexual? I don’t want those scenarios happen to me, but I just wanna be her friend D:. Halp plz, I want to know what fate will become of me, oh Saint Badumsquish, in thy mercy.

@Badumsquish
That means it’s basically a giant Stygian having his own fun. I don’t mind that. X3

@Skunk Bunk
Only one other person has done it from what I can tell. The one and only wonderful Dragonpone :P

@Farnham
Indeed. Sphinxie has brought so much richness into his life :D

@Just Wayne
I like to think whoever is stuck in the Pony of Shadows feels what he feels :D

@Badumsquish
Stygian and Pony of Shadows are two different entities. He should be taken out and squished next to Pony of Shadows. X3

This guy just might be the luckiest pony in the Squishverse.

I never thought of this pairing before, quite hot tho! Your sphinx art is always really great.

@Setsugekka
There’s definitely worse places to be :D

@Fighterpilot555
She does this sort of thing to all her friends. It’s how she shows love :D

@Background Pony #17CF
Weird stuff like this is basically just vanilla sex for sphinxes. Meanwhile, this is the only kind of sex Hisan has ever had, so as far as he knows this is just how it works :D

@Just Wayne
Technically he’s involved in this one too :D

@Background Pony #C377
Indeed, all of them are :D

@Skunk Bunk
@Background Pony #645A
The Pony of Shadows is a special case. It’s hard to find ponies who are her size, so every so often she’d summon him up from the shadow realm for a round of shadow sex :D

@Background Pony #23DA
He’s never going to be interested in tiny-assed pony assholes ever again. He needs ponuts and balls big enough to lay on XD

I didn’t think the sphinx was a invite friends over to join in type?

What a pair of giant assholes.

tfw Stygian and Sphinx get married

Lucky…

Stygian should join them. :D

@Fighterpilot555
‘cause Sphinx knows he’s into it.

Why is Hisan always being bullied like this?

Double ponut kissu! Not the worst place to be in, must be quite soft^^
