Pink Luna Confirmed for Cut Luna

I was going to save this for the roundup, but it might be a fun one to discuss externally.

Swf Page
Nayuki is a layout artist for the show who frequents the Allspark forums.  It looks like they have confirmed the axing of pink Luna from yesterday.  Poor girl, it's such a shame too!



And in other news,  a Sauron balloon from Lord of the Rings was buried in those .swf files from the Canterlot Castle game.  How... crazy.  Thanks XTUX345 for that discovery.  That sounds like the model number for these motherboards I'm trying to decide between for Skyrim!

Eeyup. Frufru Luna.

Lagmobile said...

Second. Also called it

Jelfes said...

Man, Seth, you better get to choosing that motherboard quick if you plan to have the whole thing up and running in time for Skyrim. What is it? Eight days? Meh, you got time. It's just flying by for me though

Nymo said...

Figures.
Also: Dat balloon. Crazy crew and their easter eggs. Now everypony will be clamoring how Sauron is canon now...

Nyxilis said...

I find that I'm only sad it didn't make it for all the artists that would have run with it with higher frequency!

nettick said...

Uhhh. the wait for skyrim is worse than season 1.

Octavia said...

Slow Seth is slooooooow. lol I already knew this. Simply because I'm just that hipster. *shades*

Laurence Brown said...

I wonder what Discord would have done with a Sauron balloon? Besides make a snarky pun for the older viewers to laugh at, that is.

warhunter said...

8 days.... until Skyrim...
You know, Seth, you could just get a 360. For me, it helps stopping me from cheat temptation.

SgtGarand said...

Those Nightmare Moon eye balloons were in the episode though..

And yes, 8 more days until we can, among other things, learn the dragon language. Fus Ro Dah!

TheBlackBaron said...

The Eye of Celestia sees all.

Or the Eye of Pinkie, I guess, however you wanna interpret that.

Stargazer said...

I'm curious as to how they'd explain her coat, mane and tail being changed to pink if they had used that scene in the episode...

Jordan said...

@Twilight Spark
"Idon'tlikeyou..."

Kinrah said...

@Stargazer

Dye. The same way Rarity would've dyed Twilight's coat a new colour if she hadn't escaped from Carousel Boutique in episode 1.

Crunch Nugget said...

Too bad we didn't get to see Luna looking like that in the episode.

That eye, on the other hoof, was all over the place during the Nightmare Night episode, and not just on balloons. I think Egophiliac used it in her Luna game too.

HunterTSF said...

Slow Seth is slow. Sketchonion already confirmed this 13 comments into the original news post. xD

PonyPonyPonyBrony said...

That Luna was adorable. But, yeah, we had the key layout artist confir yesterday.

Jayson Thiessen's twitter name is "Golden Russet"
His icon is a russet potato, with an "eye"

Look familiar?

Masquerade said...

Oh god, Skyrim?! How could I have forgotten?!

sevooHypreD said...

Wouldn't say that balloon is hidden in the games files, it's in the game in the props section.

Dusty the Royal Janitor said...

IIIIII SEEEEEEEE YOOOOUUUUUU...

DcmRulz said...

was about to say, that eye looks like the moniker of the auric potato/golden russet (thiessen's drawings I notice have that kind of eye in a bunch of them)...But I think I remember a similar eye structure that did make an episode or two, like this one (correct me please if i'm wrong)

One-eyed Wolfdog said...

The question, surely, is how Pinkie Pie would have reacted to Pink Luna. "Oh no! NIGHTMARE MOON GOBBLED ME UP!"

XTUX345 said...

@richfiles

Yeah, I noticed that too.

It's often neat what you can find if you can snoop around within a game or it's files. I remember my dad finding a secret outhouse in "Crimson Skies:High Road to Revenge", which you could enter and it was implied that you used it for a bathroom break.

Kayriel said...

BRONIES I AM DISAPPOINT. No one flipped that Nayuki's avatar is KAMINA LYRA? This is effin' badflank.

Lyra, the great oni leader of the Dai Gurren-dan! Now... now I want Octavia as Simon.

Ysalamiri said...

Gotta love motherboard numbers :D Also: SKYRIM!

Riordian said...

Please ! Giev us lotr refference in comming episodes !

Alexander Gan Zhong Ping said...

Welp, I was quite surprised when I heard my fellow friend XTUX found it. Good job!

@Kayriel

Yours is the hoof that will pierce the clouds doesn't quite translate.

Trombe said...

That's definitely the Golden Russet eye, not the eye of Sauron.

Jpar said...

i wouldn't be able to play the elder scrolls Skyrim on the PC not for the lack of computing power but for the fact that i would use cheats around 5 min into the game :(

not even the Xbox 360 kept me form cheating for very long

Harwick said...

As noted in the original Pink Luna comments, it's not the existence of the balloon that was interesting, it was that the asset's name was "Sauron Balloon".

frith said...

I for one welcome this independent confirmation Pink Luna's origin.

Timber said...

Wait.. pink Luna? WTF?

Peter said...

That is not an eye. There's a reason I misread "Swf page" as "SFW page".
