Woo! It came out before I have to leave for school!

Forte Canter said...

The fics will be on their way. Don't you worry. xD

orlando-gol said...

The german Pinkie sounds great!

CynicalMuse said...

I wonder how much that last one is... It doesnt show a price.

Pawn Heart said...

'Princess, we came as fast as we could!'
'I talk!'
'Ur... yeah... So... what's happening with the crazy weather and the anim-'
'Come fly with me!'
'...ur... okay...'

instantrainbow said...

Since Seth won't mention it before it ends:
There is an app for androids called 'Shopkick'. It has a 20% discount on any regular priced toy item, but will only be usable till the 24th, and there is nothing to stop you from using it on more than one trip and doesn't require downloading and installing programs to print-out coupons.

Captain British said...

The thing is, even with the 25% saving on the ponies at Toys R Us we STILL have to pay a heck of a lot more than America.

wackyteen said...

No fic about RarityxRock?

...I would but I was stumped by trying to ship Fluttershy and a tree....


How does one even ship a rock?

Select Few said...

How much for Seth slowly losing his mind?

Solar Flair said...

I'm still disappointed they went with something so contrived for Rarity.

Eh. At least it was pretty amusing.

Moonberry said...

Where can I bid on the crazy Seth?

PonyPonyPonyBrony said...

Man, why aren't there any brony meetups where I want em when I can make em.

Apsuenbwyfer11 said...

Opal custom? really? and also, that vinyl scratch plushie is already at $100. its the epic tier fluttershy plushie all over again... didn't that sell for just over $300?

Also, I have a pair of blue super-reflective glasses that i wear sometimes. I'll see if i can get around to dying my hair blue and taking a photo for seth some time in the holidays :D.

Also seth, remember that picture of the surf board i sent in a couple weeks ago? well i finished it and i'll get a photo to you soon.

Haileo said...

German Giggle at the Ghostly is awesome. I don't know German, but how could people understand the language? O_o

AtomicBrony said...

You forgot the link for the chalk drawing article.

Mike said...

ZOMG I'm finding so many reasons to go to Stonybrook right now.

HoxieRedhoof said...

I'm from Austria (so I speak German) and .....
MLP:FIM in German just DOES NOT WORK!

Really the lyrics of the song are just awful in German
(i also prefer watching movies and tv series in English)

Killsteal_Wolf said...

Wait a minute... WHITE Celestia?? Oh My stars, it may not have the Aurora Mane, but it's much closer to the show than it was before...

Too bad I still don't want it. Release the Episodes over here Hasbro. I'm willing to pay money for a Blu Ray for a whole series. Even more so if there are extra features.

Anonymous said...

>"Check out the article about it here!"

>no link

P. Pony Ponyson said...

Seth, I'm sure you have a better picture of YOU, not Twilight going crazy. If not, I intend to rectify that ASAP.

Aquaman52 said...

I'm not quite sure why I expected the Mane 6 in the German dub to be voiced by men.

It's kind of early over here.

Celestia said...

Oh Luna damnit, more customs I want to buy.

Firleycat said...

A MLP marathon up in Northern Ireland? That would be interesting, I would have to sort out a lot of things first. It would be really awesome if it did go ahead.

NotAGoodUsername360 said...

Crochet Pony Plushie: $25
Rainbow Dash Mid-Flight Sculpture: $1
Applejack Sitting Without Her Hat Sculpture: $1
Seth slowly losing his mind from all these ebay emails: Priceless

There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's ponies.

CTOONfan1 said...

...wait. MLP airs in Germany on Nick Jr.?

Lemonite said...

Every brony in that picture from Malaysia has their legs crossed...

O.o

Chaoyll said...

25% off in the UK? Erm, I've been hunting in shops everywhere here in the UK and the only G4 pony thing I've found so far is Twilight's balloon. So someone please direct me as to what exactly I'm doing wrong in my search? (Looked in my local Toys R Us too, they had loads of G3 ponies, no G4 at all.)

s said...

Who else read the 'Discord Dash Plushie' as just 'Discord Plushie' first?

Celestia said...

@Lemonite

Clearly they have been trying to copy Applejacks pose.

Dionysus said...

Thanks for posting the german version I send you seth

Nantang'Itan said...

Ending of the German version is hilarious

laaaaaaaahhhhh-ren.

DeeperMadness said...

@Captain British

Tell me about it. And to make matters worse, my local mostly has G3 and G3.5 there. I can imagine it's not the only one like it.

Teilzeitbernd said...

@HoxieRedhoof
>MLP:FIM in German just DOES NOT WORK!

Fact.
The translation kills all of the great wordplays.

orlando-gol said...

Bad translation? :( Oh poo, the voice actress sound so good.

IntelligencePending said...

Oh Pinkie, why do you sound like you are going to explode if you speak German?

King Lee said...

Anyone else get slightly annoyed when MLP is described as a meme? That would imply we all watch it ironically as some kinda big joke. Sure it may have sorta virally propagated, but I wouldn't call it a meme.

Dionysus said...

Isn't MLP a sub-culture now according to knowyourmeme ?
Can it get any more official than that for a internet culture ? xD

Dionysus said...

Here the german transcript (from the video description)
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
Oh Mädels, seht ihr das nicht?

Als Fohlen war ich ängstlich, ständig war mir angst und bang
- Sag, dass sie es nicht tut.
Wenn's dunkel wurde Abends und die Schatten wurden lang
- Doch, sie tut's.
Ich grub mich in mein Kissen, damit ich nichts mehr sah,
doch Oma sprach zum Fürchten ist nun wirklich kein Grund da.
- Aber was dann?
Sie sprach: Pinkie, bezwing doch deine Furcht, denn sonst lernst Du's nie.
Stell dich den Ängsten, lach sie laut aus und schon verschwinden sie.
HA HA HA
(Gasp)
Drum grinse, wenn's dir gruselt,
wenn was um dich wuselt,
krass erklingt dein Lachen,
lass es richtig krachen,
bis, wenn du bedroht wirst,
du vor Lachen rot wirst

und sag dem gruseligen Dummie, er soll sich verdrücken und dich in Ruhe lassen und wenn er dir weiter Angst machen will, dann kann er was erleben und allein der Gedanke daran bringt einen schon zum hahahahahahaha
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - chen
///////////////////////////////////////////


And here a re-translated version I did by myself, it's loosely translated not word-by-word.

//////////////////////////////////////////

Oh girls, don't you see ?

As a foal I was scared and afraid all the time
- Tell me she isn't doing that.
When it's getting dark in the evening and the shadows became long
- Yes, she is.
I dug into my pillow so I can't see it anymore
but grandma said there's really no reason to be afraid.
- But what then ?
She said : Pinkie defeat your fear or you will never learn it.
Face your fears, laugh loud at them, and soon they disappear.
HA HA HA
(gasp)
So giggle if you're scared
when something creeps you out
crass rings out your laughter
let it really crash
until, when you're threatened
you turn red from laughter

and tell that creepy goof, he should let you alone and in peace and when he continues to scare you, than he is in for something and the mere thought of that already brings me to
LAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH
(in german the last syllable is thrown in at the last few seconds/moments)

Duo Dash said...

25% at Toys R Us wasn't unfortunate for me. I got the Fashion Style Fluttershy. ^_^

72f05718-e452-11e0-ba19-000bcdcb5194 said...

wait...25% off in the uk....i live in the uk

YES! now if only didnt live in the darkest most barren crevice of this country :L

eaglehooves said...

I think we already have plenty of that last merch link... :P Awhile ago a friend sent me some pics of chalk ponies from his college. Should I forward those, or has everypony seen enough?

orlando-gol said...

@Dionysus
Hey, that's pretty good! Now I don't know why the other guys said it is horrible.

pmcollectorboy said...

@72f05718-e452-11e0-ba19-000bcdcb5194
You live in the Queen's...?
Oh wait. Nevermind. That's too rude.

pmcollectorboy said...

Got an idea for a Rarity Rock story.

TheDreamMaster said...

Man, I wish there'd be a brony meet up around my parts some day. Nothing ever happens in Western Kentucky.

nettick said...

Even Germany has ponies on T.v. Comon Australia.

MP said...

so i take it my atari 2600 game isn't good enough to be on this site? :(

darn.....

MP said...

@MP

(I'm, the one who sent you the link in the email, and the guy who made the game)

Jelfes said...

Of course she's winning, shes Pinkie, she goes right through the 4th wall to reach her destination!

Leeky said...

Why must my nearest ToysRus be at the bottom of the country?

Lofwyr said...

The problem with the german sub is only that you can't translate most of the puns. But this is a problem with all translations. I think it is really close to the original. And translating songs is really hard.

MP said...

by the way, it's not a downfall into ponydom.

i say that's an upbringing.

Doctor Scraps said...

I just got done submitting a story about Pinkie Pie and a broom. I could easily do Rarity and a rock. Hell it comes with it's own title.
"Romancing of the Stone!"

IkusaGT said...

@King Lee You're not the only person who feels that way. If this was all a big joke the fandom wouldn't keep growing at an exponential rate. That's why I kinda have a love/hate feeling about the KYM page. It introduces new people to the and what's up and all that however, it introduces it as a meme. If that's that case all popular shows with fandom's should be considered "memes"

Ice Storm said...

Germans don't dub laughs.

AtomicBrony said...

Every page on the Stony Brook University website has Pinkie Pie in the top-right corner.

MarkTheCat said...

Woo, 25% off toys over here in the UK!
*Continues not to buy*

Also:

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-CHEN!

Mr Nutt said...

Gah! My English brain cannot process happiness and German together! How. Can. I. Cope!

Wheeljack said...

@Dionysus
Thanks to you and Seth.
Oh dear... all this attention *squeak*

Dionysus said...

@Wheeljack

You're welcome, and yeah thanks Seth for noticing it.

Would be great if you could upload the other major songs (winter wrap up, art of the dress, singing telegram, at the gala) in german when they premiere in germany.

Octavia said...

I'm sure if there aren't any fics in the works right now about Rarity and her giant boulder, there will be soon. :P

Wow, the Rainbow Dash and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat song was pretty good. Very cool.

The chalk ponies popping up all over the Stonybrook campus is pretty cool. And since I don't think they know who's doing it, the person doing it is probably having a lot of fun. Or maybe it's more than one person now. Hope no one gets in trouble for it though since they could see it as basically graffiti or such.

Oooh, I remember talking and voting about those pony hair kits a little while back. I'm glad the person has started to make them. They're a bit pricey simply for little hair inserts, but still very nice.

Hmm, I'm German, but I grew up in the States for the most part and can't speak much German at all unfortunately. The little noises Pinkie makes while making the faces in the beginning sound kinda funky to me though. X3

"Seth slowly losing his mind from all these ebay emails" Doh ho ho. :D

pmcollectorboy said...

@Octavia

Working on it.

I've pushed aside my Rarity's Tale revision to start a new adventure story about Scootaloo and then pushed THAT aside when I realized the potential for a Rarity/Rock story.

I'll get back to both, shortly.

Now I want to see that Pinkie Pie/Broom tale.

Applejack85 said...

Ponies popping up in real life, is always awesome.
More chalk drawings and random posters the better!

I have to admit the molded hair for Rarity is quite cool, I'd love to see more for the other ponies too...too lazy to style it ^^;;

Onej6 said...

It beats the dutch one!

as a dutch wanabrony, I agree. Dutch dubs, are awful, (insert overused meme here)

Hivemind said...

There's a meeting at Georgia Tech? I go there.

Why was I not informed of this!? >:L

Verbose said...

Haha...Georgia Tech. Freakin' pasty Yellow Ja...
...
Is that a black guy back there?!

C.Olimar788 said...

@King Lee

I agree completely. It's really NOT a meme, though it has created memes. It's just a show that has gotten a big following. You wouldn't call, say, Adventure Time a meme, so why MLP?

Actually, I lied, I don't agree completely. I'm more than slightly annoyed. :P

Cupcakeholic said...

The How You Became A Brony Project is pretty cool I have to say, I might do a random video for that which will mainly be me just saying how much I love Cupcakes lol. XD

Also German version of Giggle at the Ghostly sounded really nice. :D

Brevity said...

I lol'd at the german Laugh. LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-chen

Luna C.T said...

Stony Brook! Why don't you have an early childhood education program! Now I have to transfer to the non-ponyfied Dowling.

Verbose said...

@C.Olimar788

Well, it -started- as being described as a meme, because of the nature and origin of the Internet spread...and that is close to what it once was.

Even knowyourmeme.com acknowledges that it is not a meme anymore, but a subculture. I think anyone that knows about Bronies know that most of us don't watch MLP ironically.

I wouldn't be offended by it. (Until we get 20,000 respondents on a poll,) I'd say we're still pretty small for a subculture (but large...or loud...for a Internet following).

ponyvangelist said...

Oh great. Now I can't get Grinse wenn's dich gruselt out of my head.

It just makes me want to laaaaaa-chen!

Mattatatta said...

How fitting that Pinkie Pie was found between Earth and Space lol

Fabrazio said...

i am from german and heard the german dub for the first time now and its horrible. i think i will just stick with the english version.

Master Smoulder said...

@Haileo


I think no other comment made me laugh this hard before xD

Anyway, I think the german dub isn't as bad as most germans around here say. (fluttershy) It's .... nice (/flutterhsy)
Well, except for the theme song, maybe...
