Chickun

2012image macroclassic

Chickun is a 4chan image macro format built around warped, face-swapped stills of Scootaloo from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, paired with the chant "Arise, Chickun" borrowed from an Aqua Teen Hunger Force episode. The threads spread on /b/ in the early 2010s as both an in-joke and deliberate bait aimed at anti-brony posters.

Overview

Chickun is a 4chan image macro format built around photoshopped, edited, and face-swapped stills of Scootaloo, the pegasus filly from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic1. The pictures pair her wide-mouthed, buggy-eyed expression with the chant "Arise, Chickun," lifted from Aqua Teen Hunger Force2.

The threads mostly ran on /b/ and adjacent boards, where the joke worked as both an inside gag for the brony crowd and as pointed spam aimed at the anti-brony camp3. The recognizable look is a single warped Scootaloo frame that gets stretched, tiled, and dropped into unrelated macros4.

How It Spread

After 4chan tightened its rules and pushed pony content off /b/ into the dedicated /mlp/ board, some posters started dropping Scootaloo Chickun threads back on /b/ to bait moderators and pull reactions out of the anti-brony crowd4. A tripcode user going by "Smokey" was flagged in board discussions as one of the more persistent posters running the threads4.

The tag stuck on image-hosting sites, with Derpibooru maintaining a dedicated Chickun pool for edits and remixes5. Urban Dictionary entries piled on with their own takes, from affectionate "fluffy creature" definitions to Scouse slang treating "chickun" as a pronunciation of chicken6.

How to Use This Meme

A typical Chickun edit takes the wide-eyed Scootaloo frame and either face-swaps it onto another character or tiles it across a background, often captioned with "Arise Chickun" in the ritual-chant style from Aqua Teen Hunger Force2. On 4chan the format is commonly posted as an OP image to start a thread, with replies stacking more warped Scootaloo edits4.
