Nightly Roundup #89

Confound this fan art making me think that little heathen is cute.  What a terrible special talent.  Her entire role in life is to be a stuck up asshole.

But shes so cute here...

Stupid art...  Have some news!



Pony Toys in Russia

For all the russian bronies, it sounds like pony toys have started showing up at Nizhniy Novgorod in Moscow/St. Petersburg.  So go get some!

Fluttershy Zombie

More Pony in Adventure Time

Looks like some more pony crazyness has popped up in Mathematical.  Someone recorded themselves singing the mane theme, along with commenting on how Adventure time is second only to pony for best cartoon.  I guess the adventure time people thought it was an accurate statement or something!


PINKIEQUEST Blog

Someone has chronicled the entire journey of Pinkie Pie in Seattle.  You can find it all here!

PBS Series Posts the Pony Steampunk Shirt

In their recent top "7 Great things that are better steam punked" My Little Pony comes in at second place.  Slowly taking over the world I think? You can find it here!

And the shirt here!


Twilight Sparkle Invades 3D Dot Game Heroes

Back when I worked at Best Buy, I literally had this game on order for over 8 months on the online rental thing that employees get for free.  It never did come in...  I'm pretty sure they had only one copy or something.

For those of you that DO have the game though, someone has created a Twilight Sparkle model for it.  You can find the video here, and the link for a download in the description.

Brony Wristbands

Ace2401 said...

You derped the break :/

Inconspicularity said...

I know the person who was banished to the sun.
It's Isoraqathedth, isn't it?

Did you banish him to the sun for completely disintegrating your mind with the awesome?

Hydra in a Top Hat said...

For some reason it amuses me that totally rejected fics are labelled "banished to the sun".

Link to the adventure time channel, go 2:20 that's roughly when it starts

Ace2401 said...

Guys? NO! GIRLS! *the stare* XD

pasc said...

too bad i'm french, i just can't read long english text, and if i try, i'm in for a headache... no fanfics to me, too bad.

Laurence Brown said...

When I first saw the Girls video, I thought it was going to be something to do with the Beastie Boys.

Also, there was no 'You are X' yesterday! Did that come to an end, or...?

And happy Labor Day (fellow Americans) or first Monday in September (to everypony else).

pangolynn said...

What's the over-under on how long it takes for that wikipedia entry to get nom-nom-nominated for deletion? I'd wager less than 24 hours.

Octavia said...

Yeah, well, I've come across a fair share of people in real life that you would also think their special talent is being a complete asshole too. lol

Girls! Girls! Girls! Girls! Guys? ... No! Haha. <3

Forget the link in the Adventure Time section? :P

That Pinkiequest blog is great. Pinkie sure gets around! I mean that in the good way, of course. ;)

More Spiderses readings? Oh goodness. What is this I don't even.

Hah, ponies are already a great indeed. But Steampunked ponies are awesome as well! I squeed slightly when I saw that. I'm glad PBS agrees. :)

Crocheted Pony's, yay! They're cute.

Wow, I'm really surprised it took this long for EqD to get a Wiki page. I figured it already had one.

And yup, that's Lyra alright. Trying to be adorable I see. And it's working.

partyhard said...

Why is Freddie Mercury's birthday not in this update? Update that shit.

Jelfes said...

That is the single most dramatic reading ever to have existed.

Nathan said...

What is it about Labor Day weekend that drives half our pre-readers away and everyone else to send in fics all at once?

private614 said...

Dr. Whooves: *comes in to see Lyra on the floor* Get the hell out of here.

Dr. Henry Killinger said...

Banished to the sun? Ouch.

What, prey tell, was the offending fic about, if you don't mind me asking? You have piqued my curiosity.

Atiarotias said...

Who is this Carlos I'm hearing about in the video

Firleycat said...

I think I'm sensing a theme going through the "Stairmaster" episode. I can't say for definite but I think it has to do Girls. I haven't seen "Girls" be said that much since that remix of Father Jack from Father Ted.

Also, Your last name is Scotellaro, Really? When I looked at the page first, I though it said Scootaloo. But anyway, we have a Wikipedia now, How long till it gets deleted for no reason other than some Troll?

Miyajima said...

I can't believe they say it that many times in just that -one- episode.

I wonder how many times it's said over all 26?

Cirrus Skies said...

Leave it to Scootaloo to be the one to do the C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

Trollestia said...

You banished it to the sun?

I suppose Luna has to have some fun now and again but banishing things off Equestria is supposed to be my job.

showmetheblueprints said...

That Spiderses reading is the greatest fucking thing that my ears have ever had the pleasure of hearing.

Mark said...

I am very, very dissapointed the 'Girls' music video was not a Beastie Boys PMV. GET ON IT INTERNETS.

Dragryphon said...

He deserved that banishment. He knows what he did. Nopony does something like that to Nightmare Moon.

Rubidia said...

I'll be honest, that EqD wiki page could do with some work, not that I didn't giggle when clicking 'Brony' links me to an article on a small village in Poland, but c'mon, Wikipedia is serious business! ... okay, maybe not, but still, somepony should work on that. :x

Also. CURLS.

Twahlaght Spahkluh said...

"Shaun Scotellaro"

Now I know your name...

AND THE WORLD SHALL TREMBLE BENEATH MY FEET!

ZAquanimus said...

Can I get a link to this Adventure Time thing?
I gotta go rub it in someone's face.

Saint_Absol said...

Just my two cents: But I like to think that Diamond Tiara is meant to be a jeweler. I know that has nothing to do with anything else, just saying.

Scootaloo said...

Why is everypony blaming me for saying 'guys'?
It was Sweetie Belle!

D. Shadows said...

Know you pony, know your pony, know your pony.

Equestria Daily... has a wiki page of naked fillies. (Truth: Equestria has a wiki page and it's popular, unfortunately all ponies are by nature naked.)

Equestria Daily... Sethisto still dreams of Trixie and is having an affair with Rarity. (Opinion: No We're pretty sure he's married to Trixie and is loyal to her great and powerful ways)

Equestria Daily... promotes everything 'Cupcakes' and that's a pretty evil story. (Fact: This is not true, we here at Equestria Daily do not promote gore.)

And now you know Equestria Daily. (Truth: The 'know your stars' announcer from 'ALL THAT' was a complete jerk to everyone.)

Drazla said...

As always, the guy doing the dramatical reading creeps me out.

Krizak said...

So, everyone, the next time you get on a fanfic's case for not "properly" using only equestrian terminology, remember that video and remind yourself that the equestrian subsitutions complement the English language, rather than replace it.

nifboy said...

As one of the 27(!) authors who sent in a fic, I can honestly say I wanted to get it in before S2 started, and since I got today (Labor Day) off it seemed like the thing to do.

Master Dragon GT said...

Anyone else confused about why the world's biggest Trixie fan would dislike a character who is an obnoxious, hateful, stuck-up asshole? Give Diamond Tiara just a tiny bit more narcissism and she'll basically BE Trixie.

113204175469258071224 said...

Man, it seems like everyone had the same idea to post on this very day.. hm.. It's the water.

bakaneko said...

tsundere maybe? nope! still just a total bitch...

Nämahs said...

Wiki's numbers are way off. By my calculations EqD just broke 385,000 page views per day, and is now closer to 390k.

A most impressive feat I must say.

Wierdplatformer said...

(I can't believe I'm doing this, but my conscience won't stop bugging me.) Diamond Tiara has pontential as a good character. She may be a bit stuck up, but she can change. And in regards to her special talent, that could be something like Rarity's.

Anyways, lots of good stuff.

Kurisu Fuyuumi said...

I don't know why but I started to hear 'curse' instead of 'girls'...

Hobo said...

Shaun Scotellaro.

Pro name, Seth.

ProcessingFall said...

Maybe it's just me, but I liked Diamond Tiara. She kept made faces that made me laugh. Silver Spoon was just horrible though.

Vinyl Scratch said...

Aw hellllll nooooo.
The only thing Diamond Tiara is good for is all of her effed up voice recordings in FO:E.

pmcollectorboy said...

Flutterzombie FTW. Of course if zombies started to fly, we'd all be screwed.

dcrabbit said...

That's funny.. I thought being a stuck up arsehole was Trixie's special talent. *scratches head*

Inivonwini said...

One guy was banished to the sun, eh?

Itty-Bitty Teeny-Weeny Twinky Pinkie said...

Two days without any new 'You are...'?
Was the list I gave you of fifteen ponies (and one Spike) not enough, Seth?

Jecht said...

It took 35M+ hits just to get a wikipedia page? Jeez.....at least we know shit's serious now.

Arexshortpaw said...

Banished to the Sun: 1 (Poor guy =[ )

Did this guy send in a really bad clopfic or somethin? Lol

brickwall81 said...

Brony meet up in Albany? I'm a girl, I live in upstate New York like 10 minutes from Albany!!! but I'm 13 O_o

SpecLad said...

Um, Seth? Nizhniy Novgorod is a city. How the hell can it be in Moscow/St. Petersburg?

paradoxador said...

Steampunk pony shirt.... well i can die happy now

Nimbus Buster said...

@Inconspicularity I'm kinda curious what they wrote to get banished. Any clues?

Raefire said...

I was the one banished to sun. And no, no clopfic (ew, god no...) Apparently I went just a little too brutal in my action sequences. If Seth doesn't kill me for it, I'll promote it on ED here and here only:

Title: Night of the Shy

Synopsis: Fluttershy is possessed by the evil magic that transformed Princess Luna, and the surviving ponies must stop her...possibly at the ultimate cost. Grimdark.

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7319071/1/Night_of_the_Shy

I won't make that link clickable. You'll have to copy-paste if you really wanna read it. I'm still not sure if it's okay to put up on FiMFiction yet, but I'm looking into it.

On the other hand, I'm no stranger to shipping fics - so I guess that Gilda/Trixie oneshot idea of mine will have to move forward now if I wanna get featured :P

Nathan said...

@Nimbus Buster

if something is written so terribly it's beyond any hope of salvation or includes content that we prohibit by our fic submission guidelines, it get's sent to the sun.

It has to be REALLY bad to get sun'd though.

Ruxin12 said...

Took you guys a while to get those wristbands up. I've already had mine for almost a week and ordered it even farther back.

BE3ST said...

*reads wiki page*
"lives in Arizona"
"in Arizona"
"Arizona"
ARIZONA. BEST STATE EVER. LIVED HERE ALL MY LIFE. SETH IS NOW COOLEST EVER.

Cyber.Kuriboh said...

@Raefire
It wasn't that graphic...except the ending. That may have been a little violent.

Raefire said...

@Cyber.Kuriboh

It's the next two chapters that did it. (scroll-down menu in the corner right of the page for the chapters.)

I perfectly understand why it got rejected, though. I hold no ill will.

WavemasterRyx said...

I used to not like Diamond Tiara, but Kkat's use of her in Fallout: Equestria gave her a very sympathetic character, it really made me love her, and feel I should give everypony a chance to be loved.

Except Blueblood, he can go to the sun.

Timofei said...

Pony toys in Russia is really old news. For some reason, Russia was, in fact, one of the first countries to get g4 toys (molded singles in particular). It's pretty weird since afaik there's no plans to air the cartoon there.

Fire Flash said...

Quick! Somepony remix that ''My Little Girls'' video into a Can-can song! =D Schnell! Schnell!

Lol. Shaun Scootaloo? Seth is now confirmed as an actual pony.

milleniummaster18 said...

Girls? Eww, they have cooties!

Polaris said...

Time to translate some Wikipedia.

The whole France is going to love me.

Alfy said...

XD That Wiki shows your full name, so much for anonymous...

DoubleMallow said...

Lol seth, way to be completely hypocritical. You like bitch Trixie, but you don't like diamond tiara?

Mechatails said...

Ugh, Delta? Haven't been there in years. I usually reside in Fenix. I guess this would be reason enough to come back I suppose.

corrupttyrael said...

@Raefire
I really enjoyed your fic mate. Its a shame it will not be posted on EQD. I'll be looking for any news of chapter 4.

Raefire said...

@corrupttyrael

Fic got approved by FiMFiction, so you can follow it there if you want to: http://www.fimfiction.com/story/740/Night-of-the-Shy

karaterachel said...

@DoubleMallow To be fair, at least Trixie has a talent. Diamond Tiara, what? She can wear a tiara?

Also, that girls video made me laugh so hard. I watched it 3 times.

Poor guy, I hate getting banished to the sun... there's no Luna there.
