Yeah! Nice banner! Two best ponies right there!

Killsteal_Wolf said...

Definitely do a Halloween Costume contest. I'm sure there are some amazing Discord and Luna costumes out there.

hamyojo said...

lovin the pony vehicles!

Blightmare said...

zomg Princess Octavia and Discord Scratch!

DeeperMadness said...

A Halloween costume contest? Go for it, lads!

If there's a voting section, I'll vote twice for anypony who goes as a pony in that pony's Nightmare Night costume. Three times if you do Seafoam, complete with mace-tail!

80PercentBrony said...

Totally called that Faust pronunciation.
Looks like I'm gonna be $5 richer in bet money!

FlareFlow said...

ferrarity talk about horse power...lol yeah that's right I said it

MizuTakishima said...

You didn't know how Faust was pronounced? Oh dear..

Thanks for another lovely roundup though!

Jelfes said...

Way to butcher Lauren's last name, Seth! Hehe

I definitely want a costume contest

ZuTheSkunk said...

Wait, there were people who did not know how to pronounce Faust's last name? Really?

I was using this exact pronunciation since I first learned about her and I'm surprised that there was a problem about this.

Jelfes said...

@FlareFlow *Rolls up sleeves* Wait, I don't have sleeves, MY SKIN!! Anyway, that pun is deserving of a beatdown.

Esmelthien said...

You know, that car inspired me. I'm gonna make an RD DeLorean with the doors as wings.

Blightmare said...

And here I was thinking it was Faw-st. I feel stupid now. :(

Texas Almkrona said...

I don't think that the MLP cast will be good halloween costumes. Maybe if they changed them to look scary, but MLP don't really fit in Halloween.

Vinny said...

I should totally buy a mini triumph spitfire and paint it yellow/orange/red

Wierdplatformer said...

Very nice banner. Also, I would love to see a costume contest.

Octavia said...

Holy crap, I'm Nightmare Moon! And Vinyl is Discord. lol I'm okay with this. Obviously I'm in love with this banner. <3

Derpy milk cartoons? That'd be simply awesome. You get to see Derpy in the dairy section each time you go to the store. :P

Dat diecast Ferrarity car. That is really cool and really nicely done. Props to it's customizer.

The Thank You compilation video is a nice idea. Though even at such a short duration as 20 seconds each person, I could see it getting to something like half an hour long. Really, there's enough Bronies to make it days and days long I think. lol

Do you like mmmmmmm cake? Well, you're in luck, because it looks like there happens to be cake... ON THE MOOOOOONNNNAAAA! Sorry, had to do it. >3

Flankbook shutting down? Oh wow. Haven't been there in a little bit admittedly, but dang. Pretty decent-sized site with a good number of Bronies. Wonder if they'll have enough offers to get it back up and running.

Y'know, I've always known how to pronounce Lauren's last name correctly. But somehow I often still pronounce it "Faw-st" instead of "Fow-st". I do not know why but I'm working on it. lol

That RD costume is rockin'. A costume contest you say? Aww, that would dishearten me even more since it's not looking like I'll be able to put together the Halloween costume I wanted in time. Sad face. :( Bet you can't guess who I was going to dress as. lol It could be a really awesome event and way to see many cool pony-themed costumes though.

NightStarX said...

uhm. Hasn't the word "Faust" been around, like, forever though?

I too, am absoutely flabbergasted that this is a problem.

This is like hearing that there was a problem with everyone but me pronouncing "bread" as "bree-add" for centuries. :P

waffle911 said...

Fow-st like "how"? I thought everypony already knew it was pronounced that way...

waffle911 said...

@VinnyNeeds the Wonderbolts uniform.

MrPoniator said...

Just as a heads-up, the contest winner will get 500 euros in that milk carton voting. There's not a single mention if any of those cartons will go for sale.

Jango-Fett said...

That banner!

Why are they such a good pair?

Darkfoxx said...

Cars and ponies, an awesome combination! Are there bronies out there who play GranTurismo 5? If you do send me an email @ darkfoxxbunyip@gmail.com if there's enough of us we can see about starting a group similar to the Forza bronies :)

Mattwo said...

Would this count for a costume contest?: http://mattwo.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4dp61q

:P

Celestia said...

That banner is brilliant, nice costumes and nice character choice.

Cake is great too, the cakes up here are always great. I would feel bad eating them.

MrPoniator said...

Also for those who are voting on the Derpy milk carton, click on "Suosituimmat" on that page to see how she's faring. Currently she is topping the voting, followed by "Naurunappula" (the image has NN's mascot slapped on it a number of times, the site is pretty much "post funny pics and videos" kind of deal) which I definetely don't want to win.

Mattwo said...

Hers was not cosplay. Scout's is cosplay on the next level :P

Laurence Brown said...

Derpy milk cartons.
'Have you seen this pony?'
Oh, if only we could in RL. If only we could.

Firleycat said...

I've been using both versions of Faust for a while, Switching between both without noticing. To be fair, the only other places I have heard the name is in Guilty Gear and in old legends about guys selling their souls to demons, so you can forgive me if I get it wrong. Its an awesome last name to have.

P. Pony Ponyson said...

Dat banner.

Yo, Seth, it's Equestrian TIDES. Yes, I find it more likely that you derped rather than the artist of that picture.

That Ferrarity alone is pushing me closer towards buying Forza 4... The clan helps too.
(No! Bethesda/Ubisoft/DICE is getting my money this holiday season!)

P. Pony Ponyson said...

On the Proper Pronunciation of Faust...
I guess my French/Spanish/Danish/Italian/German/Russian/Latin teacher was right.

catnipfairy said...

I would love a costume contest! I was going to send in my costume anyway, but now I have a reason!

MikeOShay said...

"Fowst", yeah. It's been known for a bit, since everyone interviewed who's worked on the show has pronounced it that way.

YES. PLEASE DO A COSTUME COMPILATION. I want to see as many pony pumpkins and costumes as I possible can in the coming week or two.

Trunky said...

Really?
I don't see how this is a problem seeing as "Faust" is also the name of a popular fictional character.

Clave said...

Totally do a costume contest! And I'm obviously not just saying this because I happen to be working on a costume for a con...

Don't suppose you could give us until like a week after Halloween to submit though? It's not quite done yet...

Eric said...

A contest must be had.

silentcarto said...

Costume contest yes! Just notify us when to have submissions in by!

Mattwo said...

I can just imagine some one with a southern accent going Fooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwst.

I have no idea why I imagine that but I did.

Mattwo said...

Also my main and all the characters I cared to keep after going F2P are on virtue. What luck.

MandoPony said...

Trixie. Niiiiice. <3

Anyways... I'll be doing the video thing cuz that's about as awesome as it gets!

Mr.offspring said...

Yepee! A new template for my fighting stick o/

Hope Quill said...

Don't trust in that cake, is not banana flavoured.
That banner is awesome.
Best. Costume. EVAAAAR.

Mint Julep said...

@Firleycat

And all of the English majors felt their souls shrivel just a tad.

Pity about Flankbook. Some good people on there.

Forest Thundertred said...

Pony Kart?!
With a Great and Powerful sponsor, Halloween Rainbow dash wins.

bronydash said...

The one thing I dislike about season 2 is that they haven't introduced any more male characters, background or otherwise. I'd love to dress up as a pony for Halloween, but I'm not going as a girl. Maybe next year. Besides, I already have my 11th Doctor costume, complete with sonic screwdriver and bowtie. Bowties are cool.

Mason said...

I knew it was fow-st :D

GearForge said...

@Hope Quill

Oh trust me, it WAS banana flavored. ;)

Firleycat said...

@Mint Julep There is English majors who still have their souls? I though they all lost their souls once LOLcats became a meme. Not to mention that no English major can get through Finnegan's Wake without their soul shattering.

Flutterguy said...

I've always pronounced Ms. Faust's name that way so.. yeah. Ferrarity sounds, looks pretty nice. I'd never heard of Flankbook, but now it's time to Google. And I would pay someone to do a Twilight Sparkle costume. Srsly

Killsteal_Wolf said...

@bronydash

So Pipsqueak and Discord don't count? Well alright then, I thought they were Male Characters introduced in the Season 2, but if you say so...

armando92 said...

@Mr.offspring

I want to see a picture of the finished one :D.

btw awesome my templates made it to EqD thanks guys, If someone want a special request just send them to my devianart profile :)

Lazerboy5000 said...

I made a custom Rainbow Dash costume myself. I don't think it's nearly that impressive though. I have no ground for dying hair, so it's just colored felt on my hooded sweatshirt.

(By the way, it looks warm where she is... unlike the upper midwest where I hail from.)

juanrock said...

oh my god! my banner is on equestria daly! thanks a lot for that, this is so awesome!

i wouldnt be able to cut a rainbow dash cake btw.

ChaosDX1 said...

Awesome costume is awesome.

I went to a convention last weekend and saw quite a few pony costumes while there.

SecondJack said...

Hmm... A daily dosage of news is always nice.

RBDasher11 said...

Epic Rainbow Dash costume!!!

Magnanimous said...

Has it already been stated that Octavia is to Vinyl Scratch like Batman is to The Joker? I get that impression from their characters.

Toonicorn said...

I'm curious - does Hasbro actually let people sell paintings and such of its characters? Aren't there copyright issues?

Abalidoth said...

Holy crap you guys. That RBD cosplayer is my wife. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the picture, considering I took it. XD

Abalidoth said...

Dubs Rewatcher said...

I always pronounced it "Faw-st." Huh.

[ger]Brony1 said...

*feels a mild headache comming up*
mfw they don't teach classics in school anymore: Shakespeare, Göthe, etc.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goethe%27s_Faust

ShadeTail said...

Seriously? You didn't know how to pronounce "Faust"? I've always thought it was funny that the show creator had the same name as the man who made a deal with the Devil.

Pyrobug said...

Things that are cool: The new banner; Ferrarity car (oh what I wouldn't give to see a real Ferrari done up like that); moon cannon cake. Things that are awesome: Pinkie Pie cake; Rainbow Dash cake; Rainbow Dash costume.

Planetary Genocide said...

You mean you didn't always pronounce it "Fow-st"?

O.o

Emmalyn said...

Haha, wow...

*has husband take some preview pics of RD costume because no time for photo shoot*

*posts preview pics to Tumblr*

*wakes up to find pics of self on EqD*

...*faints* XD

Thanks for all the compliments, guys!!

@Lazerboy5000
I actually didn't dye any hair for this...I used a rainbow base wig and added to it (and made the tail) with wefts of Kanekalon hair, which you can buy online as "Jumbo Braids." I just used hot glue to hold it all together. (Can't say as to quality, as this is my first time working with wig hair, but it wasn't too difficult to use.) And yes, it's quite warm down here in AZ still, unlike the Midwest. ^_^;

Still Apony said...

As much as pony cosplay is a train wreck, that one is pretty good.

MouseNBrowse said...

I'm totally game for a costume contest, although I'm afraid someone else will do my idea as well. My wife and I have been working on MLP costumes for about a month now!

MouseNBrowse said...

@Clave
I totally agree... it'd be good to post the costumes a day or two after Halloween at least. We're going to have some late nights getting them finished in time as it is...

SgtGarand said...

Awesome banner

But, I already knew how to say Lauren's last name because I went to high school with a guy who's last name was Faust.

un1qu3 said...

I dunno... I already like Friendship is Magic [FIM] on Forza 4...but this one has a website...hmm...

Jiranis said...

Costume contest?
http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/75528
I think this guy wins hands down.

What The Hay said...

O snap I been pronouncing her name wrong. I'll be sure to correct my horrendous error immediately.
And YES YES YES YES! I am so joining that PS brony group! All I ever see on EqD are ads for brony groups on Steam... And my laptop sucks for gaming atm, at least until I save up for one of those badflank M17x's.

Darkfoxx said...

Ehm... Why is it not Faust with an A sound, like the word is pronounced in German? Seeing as its a German word...?

Johuotar said...

Ferrarity WOOOOOOOOO

also VOTE FOR THE MILK CARTON! FINLAND LOVES PONIES!

ZigZag said...

The milk carton entry is already at over 1000 votes. The one in second place only has around 350.

Man, I love this community.

mechaluigi7 said...

Yay! I've been saying Lauren's last name right all this time!

paradoxador said...

yes, contest, lez do ittt

The Us, The Ps, The Ps said...

too bad about Flankbook, I was a real fan of the site.

Lucky Hoofover said...

@ the Halloween costume

The only way I knew that was a girl was the scale of the female leg compared to a male leg.

At first I thought it was you.

Mush said...

@un1qu3

We're ranked higher than them in the leaderboards at something like 280th, they are like, I dunno, 700th.

Jebediah Oldenheimer said...

I thought the Trixie car was a picture taken IRL. Then I read Forza.

>Buys Forza 4

daddyboom said...

Cal Poly?
Hey that's my school! I kinda want to join now

Profesor Rod said...

If Flankbook gets out of their cashflow problems, I also hope that the fix their site speed.

Silverspot said...

Hmm, going to have to get the Elements of Harmony in a coalition with the Heroes of Equestria, next time I log into CoH. :D

Unknown said...

i was wondering if we were gonna get a brony group going at cal poly SLO!

why the question mark next to the post tho?
