Due to a series of extenuating circumstances involving illnesses, conventions, loved ones, and a whole lot of rain, we regret to inform you that the Nightly Roundup for the 24th of September was cancelled. But there's good news! In it's place, we've put together this new, hip and edgy 'Morning Roundup'! Now featuring 300% less of Phoe's attempts at humor, and half of your daily fiber in just one serving!
I am incredibly sorry for the delay, everypony. It won't happen again. Rather than getting stuck in apologies and mincing words, let's just get caught up:
Some Really Cool Pony Wigs Found on Etsy
Just look at these things. The mannequin faces are a little bit creepy (especially on Pinkie), but that's normal for mannequins. If you happen to have a decent chunk of change to drop on things like wigs, there's a store for you to browse here.
Web Article Gushes About Ponies
We were linked to this a little while ago. An article found on a feature called Forum M (as far as I can tell) on Forget the Box goes on at length about Friendship is Magic and why it's awesome. See it here if you haven't yet gotten your daily reminder of why you love tiny equines.
Friendship is Magic to Air in Australia Starting Oct 31
Sorry I don't have a picture for this, I was only sent a copy of an e-mail a Australian brony 'hissingskullboi' received from a Hasbro of Australia representative. The e-mail claims that at the end of October, Australian fans can catch the show on Cartoon Network on Monday-Friday at 6 am. It's something!
Radio Free Equestria Returns
With what is evidently their first non-pilot episode. See it here.
Pony Cakes
Beach Brony Bingo - Another Podcast
You ponies really love your podcasts, don't you? Well here, have another one.
New Pony Blog Surfaces
Equestrian Rhythm is a new site dedicated to reviewing and celebrating My Little Pony fan music. It's brand new and still hitting its stride, so you should go check it out and offer encouragement and feedback to help it grow.
My Little Pony/Star Wars T-shirt
My diction is deteriorating the further down this I go. Anyway, in honor of the ending of yesterday's episode, here is Spike as Chewbacca.On a t-shirt. That you can buy. With your money.
Season 2 With Alternate Language Subtitles.
For foreign fans or fans of foreign languages alike, this channel features both episodes so far from Season 2 with both French and English subtitle options. Handy if you have difficulty following the English script via voice alone, or if you ever wanted ponies to teach you French. Those interested in a slightly more Dutch flavor should report to BeanyOne's channel, as he has brokered an arrangement and will soon be hosting versions with Dutch subtitles.
'Pixel Art' in Real Life
A brony signing his e-mails with 'Kruelmelmonster' went ahead and sent us some HAMA pearl creations of ponies. There's a Lyra in there and everything, so it's awesome. Check out the gallery!
Bronies of Hungary Meetup, Total 34
It was actually kind of difficult to figure out a way to word that headline that didn't imply a bunch of bronies who needed sandwiches got together. Anyway, have a picture from that meetup:
'The Big Picture' Discusses Cartoons and Bronies
Not an Escapist feature I'm familiar with, but apparently we warranted a mention in a recent installment of this series discussing the future of animation. Children are our future. So are bronies. See it here.
Duct Tape Wallets with Cutie Marks
Too late I realize we usually have a merchandise section for things you can buy. Oh well. These are pretty cool, so if you need a wallet go check out this store.
Australian Brony Groups and Meetups
A 14-man cell of Australian Bronies is actively looking for others in their area who share their interests and would be willing to join the cause. If you happen to be Australian, look at their Facebook Page and find out if your neck of the woods touches theirs.
Meanwhile in Perth, a huge crowd of Bronies just had a meetup, which apparently involved 3 altercations with the police (all of which were misunderstandings). See a picture of all their wacky faces.
Legend of Celestia Gameplay Video and Poll
It's always nice to see pony video games making forward progress. Game writer and team leader Lucan just pointed us in the direction of their blog, where you can find footage of the game so far, and a link to a poll to provide feedback regarding item slots.
So You Think You're a Brony? Episode 5 Out Now
Featuring DJ Shamrock from Celestia Radio. Go watch here.
Knitted Rainbow Dash Hats Are Awesome
I just thought you should know. See it here for commission information, but for a glance at a watermark free image, just shift your eyes sliiiiiiiightly lower, if you please.
LA/OC Brony Meetup
Seems like yesterday was a pretty big day for pony conventions.50 bronies from Los Angeles and Orange County got together in a park filled with streamers and partied like it was going out of style. Which it never is, because Pinkie Pie has a style all her own. Anyway, have a picture of the lot of them gathered together.
Seth? You Can Have Your Roundups Back
Burning through stuff as quickly as I can while fighting off a cold isn't any fun. Go ahead and give the ponies back their exclamation marks, I'll go back to doing your editing for you.

First!
One star because mornings suck.
Morning roundup? Looks like he finally got some sleep last night
Well, this was nice to see this early.
I always thought it should be posted in the morning anyway.
It's usually posted at 2-3am PST (5-6am EST) few people are going to be awake at that hour so everyone just ends up reading it in the morning anyway.
Oh, it's evening here
poor phoe...
I'm loving the last one. Return our exclamation points! Phoe's good, too....
Lightning Bolt bondage? o.O
I love morning roundup!
I was wondering where the roundup was.
There was a brony meetup in Perth and i didn't know? dammit, that sucks, I totally would have gone too
I usually read these at about this time anyway. Much more convenient for me actually
I liked your humor though, Phoe!
"The electronic figurine, beloved the world over for responding to having her butt touched by asking the offending party if they are a princess too."
I mean, come on! That was genius. I had a hearty chortle because of it.
Don't worry about it guys! Everypony understand you guys have lives outside the blog. We can handle a missing roundup!
Thank you! You take care of yourself now! :)
I'm just tickled when I can get myself mentioned. :)
Hmm its not morning where I am
Really, Phoe? You just HAD to use that picture?
AND THUS ENDS THE NIGHTMARE MOON CONSPIRACY OF ALL ROUNDUPS STARTING WITH THE LETTER N.
>34
Nightly roundup for the UK :)
Lol a,mornin round up how fun, and its by phoe how awsome! :3
To all hungarian bronies:
Hey we're on Equestria Daily! Cool!
/)3(\
And tomorrow the 26 september, MLP:FiM will start airing on swedish television also. :)
For once the nightly roundup is really nightly, it's 8pm on the other side of the Atlantic :p
Hey, Twilight?
@Pinkie Pie
What is it, Pinkie?
Poor Phoe.
@Twilight Sparkle
This is just a message.
@Pinkie Pie
What is..?
@Twilight Sparkle
I broke the fourth wall.
@Pinkie Pie
...
AWESOME!
Your Morning Round-Ups are my Nightly Round Ups :3 It's 20:23 as I type this, here in Spain. Good to know we are back to the Nightly Round Ups in the morning, when I will be in College and unable to connect to a PC DX Goddamnit.
That's a lot of links to things to buy, if only I had a job to get money so I could spend it on ponies X3 Gotta keep working on that.
I was there on the Hungarian meetup.It was Awesome.
And Screw you sandwich jokes!
From the brony with the big headphones and the mustache on the picture
(Oh and i wonder why isn't our half-flanked WWU karaoke up XD)
Phoe, we understand your current health status, and we appreciate your work you do for us...
But please.
That Hungary pun is out-dated, and for some of us it's annoying T_T
@Twilight Sparkle
TAKE MY INTERNETS!
O, finally, a roundup at night, instead of early afternoon. LOL, bloody timezones.
Very nice of you to flip that picture of the Australian meet-up so the rest of us could see it better.
Yes the meetup was awesome! Lol 34 :DD Rule 34 :D
We NEED MORE Brony! :))
@John Savant
It wasn't they all start with the letter N. It was that the tags all start with N. But the fact that started with M and Nightmare Moon has two Ms and two Ns... That's a whole other conspiracy right there!
Here's hoping that Phoe gets better soon.
Also, bondage magic is best magic, and best used by Twilight Sparkle on herself.
Lol @ Twi and Pinkie, you guys win.
@Twilight Sparkle
I lol'd
@SgtGarand
Same here.
Nice round up, and lol oh pinkie.
That Rainbow Dash wig kinda looks more like a rainbow Jareth.
Aw c'mon, don't tell me you let the grumpy mean grumpypants get you down, you keep your own style goin' and write however you like!
But, thanks for the roundup!
Is it...bad that I was a little turned on by the picture? Just asking...
Wait, so Phoe's sick too now? Darnit, Phoe, don't worry about roundups and such; we can understand when RL gets in the way. Now go rest up and get better, or so help me I'll come over there and tie you up so you'll have to get some rest!
@Twilight SparkleSorry, Twi', but once again Pinkie wins the Internet.
@Doctor Scraps
Yes, because Twilight Sparkle is mine, mine I tell you!
And, hey, guys? Let me make a pony reference here: Applebuck Season. Learn a lesson from that, take a breather, and let your friends sort things out. None of us wants you guys to burst into flame or anything.
@jodyjm13
I'm what now?
@jodyjm13
Kemosabe, you are welcome to her.
I'm more of a Rarity man myself. Rrrarrr.
Twilight Sparkle said...
@jodyjm13
I'm what now?
This is why...You're a little...easy to annoy.
Oh Phoe, your attempts at humor aren't THAT bad.
Also, I could've sworn that you three have a fourth member? No, not Tek, but someone else.
@P. Pony Ponyson
Oh no! Looks like my cover's been blown!
I'm gonna need a new disguise...
Must...have all the merchandise!
Now no pony will ever know...
@Twilight Sparkle
You're... um... very intelligent and attractive and kind!
Actually, yeah, that 'mine' comment was a pretty lame attempt at humor; no offence meant to probably the most magically-powerful unicorn in all Equestria...
Although can you blame me for falling for a lady who actually lives in a library! (So jealous, so so jealous.)
Phoe, I love your round-ups.
Nice one phoe.
Where was the Hungarian meetup? Budapest? Debrecen?
Those wigs are gorgeous
... Oh no! I'll never find Pinkie Pie now. Guess I'll just finish up the last of this chocolate milk...
It is just me or does twilight appear to of had stifle cast on her? http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=46558
Maybe I just play to much magic lol.
Daily roundup eh.
Fine.
@jodyjm13
Forget library! She lives in a tree! A TREE!
@keneticpest
Budapest
Any Kiwi Bronies know if we're still streaming Cartoon Network from Aus, or do we have a local version now? If so, then this applies to New Zealand as well :)
(No, we're not the same country ;))
Looks like the OC meetup was a blast! I may just have to check out the next one, assuming I can make it.
@Doctor Scraps, jodyjm13, P. Pony Ponyson
Boys! Boys! All this attention is very, umm... nice... but there's no reason to be arguing. I'm not anypony's and no amount of buttering me up will change my mind.
@Twilight Sparkle
Please explain the title picture for this round-up then....
Oh, dear, it looks like I missed out on a terrific day of fun at the Orange County meetup! *pouts* I had really wanted to attend but some work came up on short notice and I wasn't able to make it... hopefully there will be other, future meetups though, as apparently everyone had a great time.
On a total aside, magical bondage is the best bondage. Ahem~
@Twilight Sparkle
Please explain the title picture for this roundup then
Aww Phoe, but you're so good at these. :( btw, Seth, did you end up getting cake at BroNYCon? I was assured there would be a cake. I reminded them twice...you know what, Pinkie probably ate it...yeah thatKs it.
Glad everyone enjoyed my cooking at the socal brony meet.
-Badger-
Great news bites, I don't really mind it being in the morning since I'm usually not up late enough for the Roundup anyway xD
@Twilight Sparkle
Understood, milady; please accept my apologies for any annoyance or discomfort I've caused. Truth be told, I'd be delighted simply to be friends; after all, friendship is magic, or so I've heard.
That image gives me an idea for a fanfic... (Of course not in the exact style of that image, though. XD)
So now both Phoe and Cereal are deathly ill? All within 24 hours of each other?
Seth leaves for 1 day and you two are already sharing internet cooties with each other :P
Just a few more days and your free! Sorry phoe!
@EngineerBrony
Hay! Don't go blaming m- I mean, 'Let's not start passing blame on others without first amassing actual evidence.'
The gist of the Big Picture mention was basically that since this show is so popular, there's going to be a glut of pale imitations that don't get the point. Sadly, Bob's probably right. Bob's the host, in case you didn't gather.
Also, to be fair, he never mentioned whether or not he liked the show. Just that he knew it was popular. And what this popularity may result in.
@Sethisto
So, lemme get this straight. Phoe and Cereal are both sick, and you are also incapable due to having attended BroNYCon? Wow, it must be tough
@ Dr. Pink E. Pie, OTML
Huh, looks like I still have some chocolate milk left...
*sip*
Feel better soon Phoe!
Thanks for taking the time to do this as well =)
I like the morning round-up. Same thing since I'm usually asleep by the time the nightly round-up comes out, but I still like it.
@P. Pony Ponyson
...
*Shivers*
Hhhhh...
*Shakes*
HHHHHHGGGG...
*Causes a magnitude eleven earthquake*
AAAAAGGGGHHH!! Get your hoofs off my chocolate milk!
*Flying tackles*
@ Dr. Pink E. Pie, OTML
Magnitude ELEVEN?!
I'm outta here!
*glass starts to fall into a newly created hole in the ground*
@Bombedrumbum
The picture is a parody of this.
@Timofei
I need a facehoof for never having heard of that
wpke up and saw Morning Wrap up. hm timeline seems to be making sense today
@Phoe
You're doing a great job, don't worry about it!
@Drake
That's no coincidence. That picture was drawn specifically as a parody of that card's art.
So no, it isn't kinky lightning bondage fetishism.
@jmanjr35
Can't it be both?
Bronies in Hungary? Suddenly I feel like my origins aren't at all boring!
Don't worry Seth. We are used to it :D (Just kidding. Get well soon, Phoe and Cereal.)
Morning Roundup sounds awesome and I think it should just always be like this!
Rather encourage every brony to wake up early than to stay awake late until 4am! Right?
WOOT australian bronies can watch the new shows on tv now :3.... Too bad i dont have cartoon network XD
AGH HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THE PERTH BRONY MEETUP
Ponies coming to Australia?
IT'S ABOUT. FUCKING. TIME.
Except I don't have Cartoon Network, so blargh.
there was a Perth meetup?!?? :(
sadness
Something like fewer than 15% of Australians have cable TV. But it does mean there's a hope it'll be on free-to-air soon. Fingers crossed! The last cartoon I was watching that was on Cartoon Network made it to ABC a few months later.
I wish it was on the Australian iTunes store though.
Damnit, why didn't I know about the Perth meetup? I so would have been there.
Tomorrow's my birthday.
...Hope I get a pony cake...
Not likely.
@Shadow_Slayer
@infohippie
Re: Perth meetup
(I'm the dude bot right corner, black/white jacket)
Hi guys. The Perth meetup was actually a private meetup of bronies who, for the most part, know each other from outside of the fandom. Sadly, we could barely fit everyone in front of the TV with just our members invited, let alone making it a public event. Hopefully some time in the future we can run a public meetup, so keep your eyes peeled on nightly roundups and you might hear mention of it. The core group is actually originally entirely from the UWA Science Fiction and Fantasy Club, so if you ever get a chance come visit us in Cameron Hall! (although you should note not everyone there's a bronie.)
@Benny
Well, thank you for responding. I will certainly keep watch on the nightly roundups in case of a public meeting.
