[Grimdark] [Sci-Fi] [Crossover]

Memories: A Rainbow Dash 'Tail'

Confound it... Adding the "Up" beginning song to this comic is just evil. 

I'm so glad these ponies will never actually get old in the show.  (Assuming Twilight doesn't screw up an aging spell in some episode, since she apparently can't cast complex spells without ruining something!)

Anyway, have it after the break!

Megasweet Tee Shirt Designs Round 3

This just in: Hot Topic / Might Fine are god tier bro's. 

For those not following the past few days of news, someone, without permission, submitted a Rainbow Dash tee shirt design done by Megasweet to the Welovefine's pony competition.  They liked it so much, Hot Topic started actually manufacturing them for both their online shop and their actual brick and mortar stores

An email was sent letting them know that the design was stolen, and this is the response to that. 

Good for Megasweet!  I'm glad this got resolved, and with such a perfect ending.  He/She deserves it for those designs

Comics: My Little Muffin/Lyra Stew


Having a good evening, ponies? I hope so. I've got some comics here that are sure to cause mood whiplash. Above, please find enclosed microgrid's efforts to cements Derpy as the bestest mommy of all time, and below find johnjesco's... well, it's something. I think it might be Phoe-specific nightmare fuel, but I haven't done much in the way of sleeping lately, so I don't know. Either way, enjoy!

Music: RAINBOW DASH - Electric Feel Cover / Art of the Dress (Hard Rock Cover) / Millenium Alone

The Ultimate Test of Manliness

We have seen a lot of presentations from college students talking about how amazing FiM is in front of their 20 student public speaking groups, but these guys take it to a whole new level. Is there a more hostile environment out there than an entire class of hormone enraged 9th graders?  I think not! Yet these two stood their ground and sang Giggle at the Ghostly in front of ALL of them. 

Damn fine job if I do say so myself.  You can find it after the break. 


Stories: The Cough, Crumbling


[Grimdark][Shipping] Flashfiction is a little-used story style wherein an author tries to pack as much oopmh into as few words as possible. This pair of stories is quite short, but powerful. Be prepared for what you find inside.

Ebon Mane

Description:
The mane six take shelter in a place that is, for now, safe from a disaster occurring outside. This horrifying tale of violence and death is not recommended for colts, fillies, or the faint of heart.

The Cough

Death and horrifying, haunting ambiguity

Custom Pony Compilation #10

This sculpture is pretty amazing. That's some serious attention to detail.  Rarity would be proud!

Have some more custom ponies, with their respective ebay links, after the break!


Drawfriend Stuff #165

I didn't think it was possible to top Fluttershy's cuteness... until I saw her with a sweater on.

Story: The Reluctant Reunion of the Redoubtable Rabble-Rouser (Update Complete!)

[Normal] Trixie!

Author: Ciroton
Description: Trixie assures you, no matter WHAT that infernal Twilight Sparkle says, she is NOT the Great and Powerful Trixie's sister, and that mare with her is NOT Trixie's mother!

... And most certainly of all, Trixie is not starving to death or down on her luck! She is the chosen protege of the greatest magician the world has ever know! There is no WAY that Trixie could ever be like that. None!

Video: Ponysona 3

I have to admit, I never was a huge Persona fan.  I tried my hardest to get into the PSP version of this one, but couldn't do it.

Even without any love for the series though, I can definitely appreciate how amazing this video is. 

Now someone go hack pony sprites into the real game! I bet it would be at least 20% more compelling if everyone was a pony.

Have the video after the break!

Mane Cast Trailer: Love Like Flutteshy

Mane Cast trailer #4 has released! This time with Fluttershy taking the helm.

You can find it after the break! And check out the Youtube channel here for the rest.

Comic: Cutie Mark Crime Wave


More amazingness from Pixelkitties. I'm pretty sure this one wins the award for most jokes jam packed into four panels ever.

I lost it at Scootaloo.  I'm really hoping they do something with this in season two. 

BlazBrony Friendship Trigger

Flash animation time!?  Hell yah!

This is a play on the Blaz Blue opening, with ponies and Equestrian locales.

Check it out here!

More Sonic Rainboom Crazyness!

Another image from out bro's over at Nasa.  Have some infos from their page:
Pictured, behind this darker cloud, is a pileus iridescent cloud, a group of water droplets that have a uniformly similar size and so together diffract different colors of sunlight by different amounts. The above image was taken just after the picturesque sight was noticed by chance by a photographer in Ethiopia. A more detailed picture of the same cloud shows not only many colors, but unusual dark and wavy bands whose origins are thought related to wave disturbances in the cloud.
Way over my head, but it looks awesome regardless!

British Man(Alex Day) Reacts to Ponies


This post is brought to you by the best Dash face ever.

I know we've posted reaction videos before, and I know that most of them have gotten quite stale by this point (which is exactly what I was thinking when Seth told me to watch this), but this one is quite cut down and entertaining. If nothing else, I'd say watch it for the accents and the guy's sweet RSS feed logo pillow. Seriously, I want that. Also, his pants. I want his pants. Not sexually, they're just neat-looking.

Video after the break.

Nightly Roundup #77

So HAPPY.

I wish my job took 10 seconds.

Plushies: My Little Cepholapods

A while back, I posted a discussion thread with "My Little Cephalopods"as the header... Apparently Brainbread took that as a challenge.  Our cute little ponies now have full on plushie crustacean versions. 

I am so confused right now.
