    1. Oh, my, those Rainbow Dash postcards look fancy.

      As does the cake...

      Hell, anything Rainbow Dash is just plain awesome.

      ReplyDelete
    2. Damn, I want one of those postcards.

      ReplyDelete
    3. *has a sudden mental image of a Darkwing Duck/MLP crossover*

      If it could be written well, it could have some definite possibilities.

      ReplyDelete
    4. Should hire another editor, I'm sure a whole lot of fine people would stay up to deal with you, Seth.

      Synchtube post "More info int he image below!" Might wanna fix that ;)

      ReplyDelete
    5. I sense that the custom plush will end up being a terrifying sum at the end of the auction, if the Fluttershy one was any indication.

      ReplyDelete
    6. Also Seth dearie,

      "Apparently its filled with G3.5 merch. I cried a little bit. Cool bag though!"

      Between the period after "bit" and "Cool" extra space or two.

      I wasn't implying anything above, was I? Dohoho.

      ReplyDelete
    7. ~looks around~ Oh crap, Nopony has done it yet...
      FIRST! er.. second?

      oh and... Cant wait for season 2!

      ReplyDelete
    8. My Heart rate increased when i saw
      Pinkie Pie Rainbow Dash and Cupcakes in the same sentance

      ReplyDelete
    9. It'd be nice to now exactly which air times of MLP are the new episodes and which ones are re-runs. Oh well, looks like I'll just have to watch all of them. ^.^

      ReplyDelete
    10. Yeah, our situation here in Brisbane/Australia is pretty woeful. We don't have the Hub/Boomerang, so technically we don't have Gen. 4 ponies at all.

      ReplyDelete
    11. Yeah, Seth, reason it's filled with 3.5 merch? Australia's looking like it will be the last place to get the cartoon, so we'll also probably be the dumping ground for all their extra 3.5 merch if they finally decide to get their asses in gear and make g4 stuff.

      ReplyDelete
    12. one of those fic updates scheduled better be past sins

      ReplyDelete
    13. @TheRealCJ

      Well Celestia be damned, an Aussie brony beat me to it.

      The only bronies from Aus I've met are my group of friends, I swear, there appear to be no others in Brisbane.

      GIVE US PONIES IN AUSTRALIA ALREADY SO I DON'T GET WEIRD LOOKS!

      ReplyDelete
    14. Darkwing Pegasus and his arch-nemesis Negapony?

      Get on it!

      ReplyDelete
    15. Haha. The X at the end of my name was a signoff on the email Mr. Seth. Its just 'Magnet' :P

      Also...CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE

      ReplyDelete
    16. You should have posted my daughter's zombie ponies :P

      ReplyDelete
    17. @chinlamp
      Thank Luna
      I thought we were in small numbers.
      Nicholas is the name, my stoppen grounds are the Riverina region down in upper Victoria and lower New South Wales
      Its so nice to see some Aussie Bronys around, we get shit all down here eh?
      I did hear a rumor that ABC 1 or 2 was going to pick it up, but i haven't heard a thing since.

    20. Different colored frosting doesn't have different flavors?!

      ReplyDelete
    21. Nope. Sugar is Sugar.
      Plain hot golden cupcake is the way to go.

      ReplyDelete
    22. "Wish my job took 10 seconds" Don't we all, Seth, don't we all... lol

      I'd so go to that San Antonio meet, but that's a pretty long ways. The Dallas meet is already a good drive for me.

      Canvas bags look nice. But yeah, G3.5 stuff, ugh. Bag I am disappoint.

      Pretty cool on the college newspaper. Hope to see the rest he sneaks ponies into as well. Like how he did it too, nice and subtle. ;)

      Ooh, RD postcards! Hmm.. somehow I don't think swimming across the ocean would be a good idea though... but nice.

      Those cupcakes and that cake made me hungry. And that cake is simply awesome. Way over 20% cooler. I so want that cake for my Birthday next month.

      I saw someone else mention that one episode leading up to Season Two idea too. Fun little idea.

      That Season Two tribute video was cute.

      Of course 5 year old's watch the show, Seth! lol They are the target audience and despite our large numbers, they also have large viewer numbers. :P That pic makes me giggle though. :>

      And Rarity has never had a day? What blasphemy is this?!

      ReplyDelete
    23. Gonna' hit that SA meetup like a boss.

      ReplyDelete
    24. Well, I hope this finally puts the kibosh on all this "Hasbro hates us!" and "Hasbro doesn't know about us!" nonsense that a few people have been insistent on.

      ReplyDelete
    25. Rarity never had a day? We cannot let such a crime against fabuloscity go uncorrected!

      ReplyDelete
    26. @BlankFlankBrony

      I would prefer a crossover with Rescue Rangers, Fluttershy would have a literal fun filled fullfilling field day with them and Foxglove would scare Pinkie without trying.

      Also has anyone forgotten the 'negaverse' episode and the cake that leads to it in a bakery... IN A BAKERY...(not a subtle hint)

      Come on pony fanfiction writers! You've overused the Twilight teleport excuse. Ever try the interdimensional cake idea before? For more Originality make a pony go down the donut hole at Pony Joe's.(At least make it a Funnel Cake if you just have to have cake for humorous effect)

      ReplyDelete
    27. @coolpowers
      Aw, those are adorable! I should take some pictures of my son's custom ponies sometime, he makes them into boys by cutting off their hair and painting them :) They actually look kinda cool.

      ReplyDelete
    28. WHAT the FUCK is 'Dues Ex?' No, seriously, I will not stand for this horrific mangling of a great game series, no matter how much pony is in it. Grrr.

      ReplyDelete
    29. Apparently, Rainbow Dash tastes good in everything.

      ReplyDelete
    30. ugh... and I just moved from san antonio to the east coast.

      ReplyDelete
    31. Goosebumbs! loved that show as a kid =]

      And are there any syctubings of the episodes for us bronies who don't live in the USA/Canada?

      ReplyDelete
    32. Really sorry to ask but is there anyway you could include my new brony page for Australia in tomorrows round up? http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bronies-Of-Australia/193115470754523 would be much appreciated :P

      ReplyDelete
    33. I expect the "little kids don't watch Friendship Is Magic" argument to totally get blown out of the water in a few years from now, when many, many young artists start showing up online with a strangely familiar style. :)

      ReplyDelete
    34. "Can you imagine growing up with something as awesome as FiM? This show makes Darkwing Duck and Tailspin look like Steamboat Willie."
      AND JUST WHAT THE HAY DO YOU HAVE AGAINST MICKEY MOUSE, MIGHT I ASK?!

      ReplyDelete
    35. @ImperialAlicorn

      Gah! I'm in Austin, but that's the night that they are coming to give me access to the Hub. Cruel, cruel world - making me choose between ponies and bronies.

      ReplyDelete
    36. Rainbow Dash Cupcakes eh? - with just a touch of rainbow right?

      Plus Cereal.. go to that meetup.

      ReplyDelete
    37. September 16, me, couch, laptop, pony marathon!

      ReplyDelete
    38. Wait, Batman: The Animated Series is gonna be on the Hub now too? That channel is now even MORE awesome.

      ReplyDelete
    39. Rainbow Dash & Pinkie Pie Cupcakes & a Rainbow Dash Cake that isn't a lie, today is a good day ~

      ReplyDelete
    40. Does anybody else think Rarity's hot in that pic? Or is it just me? X3

      For me, Season 2 is going to suck. Netflix replaced TV for me, so I'll have to wait until the eps get on You Tube (If they do). :/

      ReplyDelete
    41. The earlier time slot is going to make me miss half the episode! :(

      Thank the stars for YouTube bronies. Looks like I'm going to be relying on you guys this season.

      ReplyDelete
    42. Season two is probably going to take aaaages to air over here in the UK. I never get up early enough to actually watch any of the episodes, though, I should probably record them
      Anyway, I'll be relying on YouTube... I don't like the fact that I have to watch it on there, but I need my fix, dammit!

      ReplyDelete
    43. Rainbow Dash cupcakes? *gulp* That story has ruined me...

      ReplyDelete
    44. Those muffin actually look quite good.

      ReplyDelete
    45. >dat five-year old drawing

      ...why can't I help but think that this was done by an adult anyways?

      Oh, well. If it IS true... GET 'EM WHILE THEY'RE YOUNG AND THEIR YOURS FOR LIFE!!!

      ReplyDelete
    46. Thanks for posting about my radio show of the So Long and Thanks for all the Ponies. hopefully I'll get some voice talent now!

    47. "Copy Shop in Vienna Giving out Free Rainbow Dash Post Cards"

      Is that Vienna as in Vienna, Virginia? That's like 5 miles from where I live. If I had the address I'd be there in 10 seconds flat

      ReplyDelete
    48. Hey, even my 5-year old niece watches FiM! When she was at my place one day, I saw she had a MLP baby doll (gen 3.5, sadly) and asked her if she wanted to watch MLP with me. Sure enough, we watched Ticket Master all the way through to Boast Busters, and she loved it. She's even mentioned the Gweat and Powahful Twixie outside of the show! I'm... I'm so proud.

      ReplyDelete
    49. I'm jealous of the kids who get to grow up with this show. I taught a class on web design for kids this summer, and I managed to get most of them to love the show, especially the girls. Then I realized... target audience. Makes sense. They don't know how lucky they are.

      ReplyDelete
    50. @NotAGoodUsername360

      I thought the same thing. Somehow it seems exaggerated. :P

      ReplyDelete
    51. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is an AMAZING game from what I have played so far, I didn't notice the pony refrence though. That makes it 20% cooler.

      ReplyDelete
    52. Time to check every copy shop in Vienna.

      ReplyDelete
    53. Men In Black animated Series
      Goosebumps
      DOOGIE GODDAMN HOWSER, MD?

      Next they're gonna say they scored the syndication rights to Jackie Chan Adventures...

      And My Little Pony, while still awesome, does not make Darkwing Duck look like Steamboat Willie. But I'll agree with TaleSpin made to look like an old Mickey Mouse short.

      ReplyDelete
    54. The kid's drawing was cute... But as so many children's drawing often do, the young little artist draws outside the lines and has an interesting perspective of... no uniform perspective. The thing that catches my attention the most, is my own brain has become so effected by it's epic nature, that I can't look at this exquisite drawing by a dear young fan, that I am immediately reminded of "The Spiderses" by these fine images.

      What. Is. Wrong. With. Me?

      ReplyDelete
    55. So glad the SA meetup was posted. And cereal you should consider coming. This is our first meeting. Plus if your allergic just take some claritan d and come hang out.

      ReplyDelete
    56. I collect postcards! I want the Rainbow Dash postcard! But, I'm about as far away from Vienna as I can be :( :(

      However, I heartily approve of Rarity Day.

      ReplyDelete
    57. Sadly those 5 year old's drawings are better than what I can do.

      ReplyDelete
    58. Dude, Seth totally linked to my So Awesome video. Sweet!

      ReplyDelete
    59. On a group i made on facebook i tokd all my friends i expect a rainbow dash cakr for my 18th birthday. And they bettet get me one too >:U

      ReplyDelete
    63. Was i the only one who was horrified at the mention of Pinkie Pie Rainbow Dash and cupcakes?

      ReplyDelete
    64. I always loved that pic in the EQ daily news spot... THe greyscale pic with Rarity. I also hated it for not having any color. You cannot have a mare as regal and fetching looking as her in just plan ol greyscale. I went and added a little splash of color to it. Mainly her mane, tail and eyes. Really tho, why has that pic not been fully worked on and colored?

      Awesome news is awesome. I would like a few of the free post cards O.O tho I dont live there.
      Hasbro likes us. HAY YEA!
      I want an RBD cake like that O.O I would have SOOOO much trouble eating it though

      ReplyDelete
    65. SO MUCH CAKE......

      If somepony would please set up a brony meetup somewhere in the Florida Panhandle, that would be nice. That is, if you want to... If it's not too much trouble...

      ReplyDelete
    66. Screw that crap. I'm willing to believe that David Serif loves himself some Pinkie Pie.

      ReplyDelete
    67. I see no difference between the 5 year old's drawing of Rarity and the Show's rarity, they both look like puffy Marshmallows.

      ReplyDelete
    68. As I regularly read Furry Experience... I approve so very hard <3

    69. Silly 5 year old, Twilight doesn't have blue in her hair!

    70. *joins the general Brisbane residents whining about lack of G4 ponies chorus*
      I want to go into a toy store and purchase a Pinkie Pie, dammit.

      That said, I am officially covetting a 3-year-old's birthday cake. This might make me a bad person.

      ReplyDelete
    71. Why must you insult my beloved Darkwing Duck? I had a very happy childhood thanks to Drake Mallard, thank you very much!

      ReplyDelete
    72. Darkwing duck wohooo! Rarity day wohoooo!
      "I am the terror that flaps in the night, I am the batteries that are not included."
      So awesome stuff.

      ReplyDelete
    73. I find it amusing that the plushie artist made such a high quality Fluttershy that ebay actually pulled it for copyright infringement. So now he/she has to list the auction in a round-about fashion to keep it from being removed again. My money says the winner will want the Fluttershy design.

      ReplyDelete
    74. From an Aussie brony:
      the other day i was walking through school, and i just happened to be whistling "winter wrap-up" as i walked. i went past one of the art rooms that had a senior class in it (i'm in year 9) but i just kept whistling. i glanced inside to see one of the students had turned in his chair and was staring straight at me with a huge smile on his face. good to know im not the only brony in a guy only school of about 1300 students /)^3^(\
