Nightly Roundup #65

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

I used to talk into these when I was a kid and warp my voice.  I'm imagining Luna doing that right now. 

Have some news!
Tesco Ponies (UK)
I've reported on the toys breaking into the UK a few times now, but Beardy sent me a picture of the full display for them.  For those of you over there, it looks like supplies are a bit limited compared to the standard set.

There is also a pamphlet available advertising a competition to win a holiday to "Santa's Lapland".  The actual website for the contest is down right now, but you can find it here

Ponydraft Blog

A new blog for those looking to get their work stories fixed up a bit is up. It could be a good alternative to the training grounds once the community builds up some. 

You can find it here!



Rainbow Dash Cake!

It looks...delicious.

So smoooth

Jelfes said...

Awesome and long wrap up today!

This is unrelated to the nightly roundup but I thought some of you ponies may be interested to see how The Great and Powerful Seth handled the initial ridicule that came with watching our beloved ponies! I never knew much about Seth before but this speaks volumes for his brony pride and his ability to love and tolerate the $*** out of any neigh-sayers. Use our Great and Powerful Leader as a role model for what it means to be a brony, though we are criticized publicly, sometimes even by those we thought to be friends, there's always a Luna hiding within each hater, they just need to realize that friendship is magic.

P.S. I tend to make things a bit too epic and I believe this is one of those times, but, I thought it was cool to see one of our most prominent representatives struggle like so many of us did while trying to spread the word of friendship.

Hmm, Tesco sounds interesting. Not bad for a 64th roundup (or was it 65th? I can't remember well today)

As for Santa's Lapland, seems legit. LOL JK, my sister always used to say he lived there.

Octavia said...

Used to? Pfft, I still talk into fans. Also, I still say that someone really needs to animate that pic.

Ooh, I love the cake and its nice smooth surface and clean lines. Also based off a good pic. I really wanna lick it. lol

The Fluttershy tattoo, oh my. So cute. Now this is a pony tattoo I would actually consider getting.

Trixie and Fluttershy on the sidewalk. <3 And it seems there are some NEIGHsayers in the audience. Trixie shale smite them!

"Apparently this is for someone specific, so here you go!" Haha. But awww, sad Trixie story was sad. :( I guess it was all just a figment of her imagination, heightened by her magic. Poor Trixie. I think she just has such a superiority complex because she knows deep down she isn't so great of course. I wish I could pick her up and hug her.

Nice, RD is rockin' that piece of paper. Seeing that, I probably would have drawn an orange chic... I mean, Scootaloo, next to her.

Hmm, University radio show playing ponies, that's cool. Surprised we haven't heard about this already happening. Or maybe they have and I just missed that. Probably the latter.

And yay, Lyra day. I luv me sum Lyra. Especially dressed like such. :)

WizardWannabe said...

Is Tesco selling the blindbags? Because that's what I really want. The image doesn't look like it, but can any other UK bronies let me know? My closest Tesco is a little too far to just pop on down there.

Pinkamina Diane Pie said...

Guys, do you realie why that cake is so smooth? It's covered in fondant. It doesn't taste very good, but it sure is pretty! I'm actually making a gummy cake for my little sister, whose birthday is in a few days.

Also, I need to say this, but don't know where else to put it. The Luna brushables toy that comes with the molded Celestia is really pretty, but it just doesn't look like Luna.

Oops, realize, sorry!

You know, my first instinct when I saw the words "Fluttershy tattoo" was to shake my head and grind my fist against my eyes, but that...is actually a pretty nice tattoo. Tasteful, even.

Okay, then.

Oh, Seth. I did that all the time.

Unfortunately, that reference was made only due to a request by someone at PAX East to put a My Little Pony in the comic they were drawing live. So Gabe just loaded up the first hit for "My Little Pony" on Google Image Search and drew a Pinkie Pie, but it was from Generation 3. Nothing FiM-related.

That said, a couple weeks ago Tycho made a tweet that looked promising, but no followup yet.

My early-elm-school cousins still do it, so unless they suddenly decide to exterminate the fans, they'll still be doing it.

Even in school with AC on, nothing worked better than an open door with an out-blowing fan, especially when clearing-out the smell of formaldehyde and clouds of smoke.

We even do it at work still. And I do it all the time at the fan displays in stores.

.....Why does it say Fursecution under his name? and why did that guy call him a furfag? Did Sethisto used to be a furry? Is he like a closet furry now? Startling revelations

eaglehooves said...

That cake is from the megasweet wallpaper pack from I while back, I recognize that. Awesome tattoo as well, though I'm not sure I could pull off Fluttershy. Confound you Luna, I just got a new fan, and now all I can think of is trying that.

Anonymous said...

@Jelfes

Also dont you find it odd that when people start bringing up that he's probably just using it as a fetish that he doesn't refute it? That the first thing you shut down. That Bronies aren't sick perverts. I'm not sure what you posted actually puts Sethisto in a good light.

Calnos said...

I approve of Lyra day.

Anonymous said...

@Jelfes

And now a quote from Sethisto:

"I would go furry for rarity for example. even ghost rarity"

I hate you Jelefes. Thanks for confirming Sethisto as a sick fuck. I hate you so much right now. I really wish I hadn't gone through that

Anonymous said...

@Anonymous

Seriosly, who in defense of this show would mention going furry as a defense? and st the same time his character is "fursecution" so either he was playing as a furry, or he was persecuting furries? I have no idea. can somebody explain this site?

James Corck said...

I went to the local Tesco in Forfar, but the pony toys won't be there until the 22nd. Good thing I am not leaving until the 31st >:3

Display Name said...

Hating on the guy who gives us our daily supply of pony just because he *might* be part of one of the Internet's biggest subcultures?

And here I thought bronies would be above accepting general misconceptions and intended misinformations as truth. And yet, every time the possibility of Seth being a furry comes up, you all throw that whole "love and tolerance" thing out the window.

You all know what the neighsayers of the world see bronies as? Raging furries. Most, if not all of them, have at one point or another thought of all bronies as the same thing you're all criticizing Sethisto for right now.

And just like all of you, their evidence is based off of false perceptions and the occasional poorly-worded saying.

Sure, there might be reasonable evidence to point to Seth being a furry, but does that mean he's a stereotype case? Not by a longshot. The phrase "I am a furry" doesn't mean "I jack off to pictures of animals who look like people." Not by any means.

And yes, I'm well aware you're likely going to consider me a furry for defending him, but guess what? I don't honestly care.

I saw it. And as I said, yes, the evidence seems to point to Seth being a furry, although there is the keyword "GO" in that sentence.

I'm not trying to criticize you for calling him a furry. I'm criticizing you because you think it makes him a bad person.

Also LOLS: "I'm well aware you're likely going to consider me a furry for defending him, but guess what? I don't honestly care."

When did I say I hate furries?

would be nice if some of the people working on this site would be more honost about their pasts though. Only one who seems to come out and admit that they're a pervert is Phoe. admitting she clops to ponies in bondage. At least we know where her bias lies. what about the rest?

Also its funny how your telling me not to assume all furries are perverts (which I don't) when saying that you'll "go furry" for something means that you intend to fuck it. disgusting

Anonymous said...

@Display Name

You might want to tone things down a bit next time btw. It seems that the instant someone mentions "furries" you think that they are shoveling out hate. Which when you read my posts is something you could maybe "assume" at best. Nothing I said was exuding hate towards furries. definitely was exuding hate towards people that use this show as a fetish and masturbation material though.

Fire Flash said...

Seeeeeeeeeth it's not Lyra day it's Vinyl Scratch Day, did you forget that already? D=

Display Name said...

@Anonymous

You seem to think my post was focusing entirely on you.

I'm not saying *you* hate furries specifically, I'm saying that the general opinion of them is a bad one. Perhaps I could have worded what I said better, but when it comes right down to it, the accusation here - not necessarily from you, but from plenty of people who have mentioned Seth's possible affinity in the past - is that he's missing the entire point of the fandom just so he can clop to ponies.

And while I'm not trying to say whether or not that's true, what I'm saying is, anyone who assumes that is missing the entire point of the fandom themselves just because they'd rather hate.

Again, I'm not saying you're the only one. In fact, that's about the opposite of what I said.

And my problem isn't that you're trying to find out his past, even if it isn't really your business. My problem is that it irritates me when people just assume that he's a certain way because he's neither confirmed nor denied it. Especially when they use it as a reason to hate him.

Display Name said...

@Anonymous

I recognize that, and apologize if I went a bit overboard on you there.

It's just that for months I've been seeing similar comments on Seth's character, all with severely less proof than yours, and it agitates me how people can claim to support a community of friendship and goodwill, but then go around acting like that.

As is, you're more in the right than any other accusations I've seen. I guess your comments were just the point where I went a bit over the edge.

Anonymous said...

@Display Name

When you have such power over a fandom people will want to know where your bias lies. And when these people maybe have a tendency to do sick things and perhaps will expose us to those sick things, then yes its a good reason to hate them. The "point" of this fandom is to love the show. Not to turn a blind eye to those that would destroy of defile it. Its time to stop using "Love and Tolerance" As an excuse for apathy. I think Love and tolerance is used more often by clop fiction arthors and Rule 34 artists
To promote said apathy. So yes I reserve my right to hate evil. thank you.

Display Name said...

@Anonymous

But that's just it, he *hasn't* tried to expose you to clopfics or anything of the sort. Sure, there was that brief period when he included the saucier images in drawfriends, and there was that one DashXPinkie comic from a week or two ago, but the saucy pictures dropped off rather quickly, and that comic was taken down in no time at all.

Sure, Seth might occasionally goof up a bit, but he still stays up day after day making sure this place remains updated, so the occasional slip-up is excusable when there's between 10 and 20 posts a day.

If you'll notice, Seth made that thread back in January, when he as well as the rest of the fandom was rather new. So he might not have picked his words that carefully back then. Does that mean that he's "evil?" Not at all.

At this point, I'm just going to go back to what I was doing, because it seems like this entire argument was just me misunderstanding what you were saying. I'd rather we not waste time just failing to see that we agree with each other, so I'll end it on that note. Hopefully you can forgive me for being a bit irrational in my comment.

Regarding the Tesco display, I work for Tesco (superstore stock controller) so I thought I should let you know that that is just a promotional display. We call the off fixture displays and we usually get them when we have a promotion (you'll notice the yellow labels on the left side of the display) we are trying to push or a new line that a contractor has bought premium space for. There is most likely more toys (although not necessarily a greater range) in the toy fixture.
