Nightly Roundup #41

Pinkie Pie is pretty under-appreciated.  I think out of all the ponies, her psychological state is probably the most fascinating.

We can talk about that later though! On to the news!


The Mane Event Poster for Sale!

CV has put his Wonderbolts poster up for print, all the way to 31.2X48.9 in dimentions. Thats crazy! You can find the page for it here!











Design a Foal Contest on Canterlot Forums

The ultimate contest in shippin compatibility is has now begun over at Canterlot.com!  The goal is to choose 2 ponies, and create their kid, be it a combo of Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash, or the greatly esteemed TWIXIE! 

A whole bunch of prizes are available for the event. You can find it all at this thread, as well as some extra rules!


Canada Toys R' Us Sale

Ponies over in Canada are currently all 25% off!  Not as cool as our buy one get one, but at least you can get stuff for cheaper!

Now we just need more molded stuff for me to throw my money at.


Cracked.com posts ponies! Again!

Not exactly full of positiveness and stuff, but publicity is publicity! You can find it in their "6 Scientific Reasons Social Networks Are Bad For Society" post!


Brony Cookbook Project

Another collaboration has popped up over on ponychan!  This time it doesn't require 5 years of tech school participate in! 

The goal this time is to create a cookbook for bronies, involving FiM style cuisine.  Think you have what it takes to make hay and oats taste awesome? Head on over to this thread!


Equestria Radio

You guys sure to like making these! Another radio station dedicated to pony music has popped up. If you are interested, you can find it here!


Drawball Rarity

Someone has thrown an outline of Rarity up on Drawball #2.  If you are interested in helping fill her out, head over to this link!


The Chosen Ones Goes Pony

Another web comic has fallen to the pony ARMADA!

You can find it here!

(I can totally relate to that one, confound this blog.)

Ha! I was using that exact Pinkie screenshot earlier to design a pony.
Aw, man, I love cooking. Cutie Mark Crusader Cuisine is a go!

that image from the cracked.com page.. by Celestia's beard, why would someone draw that!?

Anonymous said...

What are you talking about, Seth? Pinkie's psychological state(s?) are just about the funniest parts of the show. come to think of it, the best parts of the show are when ponies are losing their minds... perhaps we're all a little sadistic?

Muppetz said...

can someone add "SHIT JUST GOT REAL" under that Pinkie picture

Davey Jones said...

Damn, why did that picture on Cracked make me laugh so hard? I think I'm starting to get desensitized to that kind of thing. It barely even fazes me anymore.

DSNesmith said...

Lol, that's the... UNFORTUNATE side of any fandom.

Oooh, the next nightly roundup might have us hitting the 20million pagehit mark!

Fengor said...

Some rule34 probably wouldn't have been my choice for the "They're full of psychos" entry, but to be honest rule34 ponies requires a special brand of psychopathy mixed with desensitization to not only create but laugh at as well.

Anonymous said...

The Cracked article made me go "Oh my..." Then I realized Cracked turns into rubbish when they are not talking about war and Audie Murphy. Their opinion articles are always very silly, trying to back them up with scientific research like they are five year olds presenting their essay in front of the class.

Monix said...

Pinkie has been my favorite since I heard her first song.

Pinkie 4 Lyfe!

Gypsy said...

cool cool cool cool, ya know pinkie pie reminds me of Magnitude from Community, POP POP!!

Anonymous said...

YES, finally a dutch brony meet. I'll definitely show up. :D

Shade Tail said...

Repost from yesterday...

Click my name for a torrent of season one. Please help with seeding.

Also, Pinkie is fascinating and all, but Fluttershy is still *my* pony. "Wooo!" that she's still on top from yesterday!

So, has it pretty much gotten to the point where webcomics will chuck in a pony for advertising and traffic? Because it seems like it has pretty much gotten to the point where webcomics will chuck in a pony for advertising and traffic.

Just used all my ink on the rarity drawing on the drawball. It's coming along quite nicely

Anonymous said...

Pinkie Pie has textbook mania... right down to the paranoid hallucinations. It doesn't stop me from admiring her. Manics are 'always on' and they're often just the kind of people to accomplish a lot in their life! Especially when they're as kindly as Pinkie Pie.

Sethisto said...

@Anonymous

I think it hit that point a while ago! :p

Derpy Hooves said...

Pinkie Pie is a fun character. She's so hyper and funny. But her dark side is something that draws people to her too. People love characters with dark sides. Especially in cartoons like these.

I saw those Mane Event posters too. I was hoping he'd look into having them made. They're too cool not to put on your wall.

That Cracked.com article gave me a good laugh. Though I can't say I really disagree with all the "research" and comments in there.

Also. Derpy, Trixie and Octavia are best ponies of course. <3

Equestria Radio is awesome!

Great and Powerful Trixie is on now.

I want it!

Firleycat said...

When I saw the title for the Cracked article, I just kept thinking "Please don't bring up Cupcakes, just don't bring up Cupcakes and I'll be happy." So I was relieved when I saw what image they did use. Its better than people thinking we enjoy cannibal ponies.

Sal8a said...

I'm loving Equestria Radio

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

Oh god, that Cracked picture just went back in time and punched my childhood in the face. Great article though.

Paul Isaac said...

On top of Rarity on the drawball is a swastika. Make of that what you will.

Anonymous said...

Its so easy to troll on drawball. Rarity would look fabulous once finished though.

ShoutingRyan said...

That article about people online hurt. It hurt bad. here I am trying to be more recognized on DA, and now I'm told that's a bad thing.

Man. I am having the worst day today.

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

@ShoutingRyan

Don't let it worry you, chief. Given that a tenth of the population of the world is on facebook, including over 40 per cent of the US of A, think it's safe to take a lot of the conclusions about the habits of people on social networking sites can be taken with a pinch of salt.

Or else that a tenth of the world is psychotic. Which sounds like a pretty conservative estimate, if you think about it.

Anonymous said...

Shoot, I thought bronies were better than THAT! We rely on the elements of harmony, which are honesty, laughter, generosity, kindness, loyalty and friendship, the last stemming from the title friendship is magic, so as to equate magic and friendship, we can assume that from the show's title, friendship = magic. We also live on love and tolerance but I honestly didn't think I'd see porn in our community.

P.S. DAMN YOU RULE 34!

InternetSnob said...

If I want a freakish rule 34 example in order to gather a feeling of disgust from my audience, I'll stick to Dragon/Car art porn or Pong porn, thank you very much~

Anonymous said...

Woaw, enough Dutch bronies to warrant a meetup? I am so there. Hoping I can get some more MLP merch before that time.

Agnitio Ex Machina said...

The Cracked article is so silly true, it isn't even funny.

KShrike said...

Dude, what the hell to that cracked.com article.

Anonymous said...

That drawball Rarity needs some artistic help. Some elements of the outline have been corrupted, as have her eyes.

Anonymous said...

Pinkie vies with Twilight for best pony status, glad to see her getting some love

Bosstone said...

@Anonymous

So is this, like, the thing now? Write a paragraph about how this fandom is supposed to be about love and tolerance, then use that to jump to a completely unrelated rant about something you don't like? Because I swear I see it in every comment page these days.

Kits said...

@Bosstone

Apparently love and tolerance has been replaced by "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE"

That ButterScotch interview, for instance....

James Corck said...

The Cracked article made me giggle.

Those guys definitely lay down on the good stuff when they don't talk about warfare articles or medicine articles. I ignore their opinion articles gleefully.

Also, YES! Somebody finally posts a guide for using the pen tool on Photoshop, this is awesome! Insta Fav!

KShrike said...

"Not exactly full of positiveness and stuff"?
"Publicity is publicity"?

Seth, anything involving rule 34 is offensive at best. It's not good publicity, because people who aren't bronies look at that and then get... well, the wrong impression about bronies.

RaspberrySundae said...

What was the first Cracked article?

Garrett Gilchrist said...

Thanks for featuring my comic, Seth. I also drew the 84 page pony coloring book that's been featured here, so it was probably just a matter of time until a pony snuck into my comic somewhere. In real life I have all the mane ponies on my desk, so putting Pinkie in there seemed appropriate.

At some point there will be more pony stuff in the comic ... There'll be a song about the difference between girls' and boys' toys and cartoons and I'll definitely put something pony in there.

What the hell? Why would you post that cracked.com page? Are you that fucking retarded? did you see what they posted? thats not good publicity at all. You need to grow a fucking brain Seth and learn to filter what you post you dumbass

Anonymous said...

Undereducated? I would say that isn't harsh enough, try tormented. The darn character can't even have her own personality without the entire internet blowing everything she does out of proportion and relating her actions to fan-fic, a FAAAAAANNNNNNNN-fic. It is seriously impossible to even mention Pinkie Pie without some dumbass mentioning Cupcakes, I hope your happy Sergeant Sprinkles you've killed one of the main six for the entire internet, you've managed to destroy Pinkie Pie for everyone and she will never be able to have her own personality ever again without the internet relating it to your stupid story.

Sorry I meant under-appreciated, the spell check changed it.

@The Two Anonymouses that posted before me

Calm yo tits.

I know plenty of people who love Pinkie Pie without having to relate her to Cupcakes every five minutes and don't, I mean, DON'T call Seth a retard. At least he doesn't try to gloss over stuff.

Anonymous said...

Aaand 'rule 34 is destroying us!' paranoid reaction dying down (as it rightfully should) in 3... 2...

Okay! Enough about cupcakes, who wants muffins? :D

MintBerryCrunch said...

So, is Cracked some kind of parody news site where they make stuff up for the sake of entertainment like The Onion, or are they like Fox News where they make stuff up to intentionally mislead people?

Anonymous said...

Aaah yea, I contributed something. Maybe.

@MintBerryCrunch

They are a humorous informative site, sometimes using hyperbole but they usually provide true facts, and if not, there's a comment section.

Another example of the "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE" mentality.

Another example of the "People who take everything other people state about their experience or opinion on something and boil it down to that person having a 'STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE' mentality" mentality.

This tennis match could go on for ages, and just because you want it to doesn't mean anyone else does.

I think the rule behind rule 34 (that it actually applies to EVERYTHING) is good in this case. Don't get me wrong, I think it takes a pretty skewed sense of right and wrong to create r34 (especially pony), but I think it does represent a certain amount of growth in the fandom. The r34 we see is made because the show is so good that it inspires... certain artists. Sure the images are usually for the lulz, but I don't think it would be there if we weren't so established as a community. I think the same thing applies to shipping.

TL;DR ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Personally i'd have gone with Transformers rule 34 in place of the Pony pic. Far more disturbing in my opinion.

One can never have enough Pinkie Pie *thousand yard stare* never....

Anonymous said...

I don't think that part in the Cracked article was much of criticizing bronies as it was of criticizing furries and rule 34.

But most of the times people always take Cracked's articles with a grain of salt, after all, all of them are a combination of a bit of funny, educational and silly.

I never said people should stop liking what I don't I would just like people to tolerate the show and characters for what it and they are and not some jackoffs fan-fic.

@Anonymous Unfortunately, since some people are naturally mean spirited, that will never ever happen.

No fandom has ever been free of that sort of plague, I'm sorry to say.
