Twilight looks so cute in snorkeling gear, too bad she isn't the best diver! I wonder if we'll see a beach or ocean episode before the season is out.

Below we have a simple, but cute, Derpy and Carrot Top comic.

Tumblr Spotlight: Ask Filly Twilight

Continuing down the list of really awesome Tumblrs that I've been hooked on since they started, I'm going to spotlight Ask Filly Twilight. This one has been going on for a while, but they could always use more fans! I encourage you to check it out. It's dripping with cute. That warning label is entirely accurate.

There are also book forts involved.

You can find this Tumblr here.

Community Spotlight #13: John Joseco!

Time to bring out the big guns! This week's Community Spotlight is none other than John Joseco, one of the most - if not THE most - prolific pony artists in the fandom. Artist for his own webcomic The Lounge, a DA account, and several tumblrs, it's safe to say that John draws a heck of a lot, and that chances are you've seen something he's done!

This week the spotlight is in audio form! You can check it out here.

Teens React To: My Little Pony

I don't think I have ever received so many emails about something before. Literally 70 between my two addresses. You guys really like this series don't you?

Well, have some Teens React!

Episode Followup: Baby Cakes

It's that time of the week again! Pinkie Pie rarely gets her own episodes, but when she does, you can bet it will be absolutely crazy.  This was no exception.

I did make the mistake of watching it while half asleep.  The combination of Pinkie's even-more-hyper than-usual voice, and the foals crying, definitely didn't mix well in that state! I ended up watching it a second time once I woke up, and it was much more enjoyable. I think that is a useful lesson for future party pony episodes!

On with the followup, after the break!

Fan Animation: MrPoniator's Baby Contradictions

Mr. Poniator strikes again with another flash to celebrate the latest episode! I swear this guy is as fast as Rainbow Dash when it comes to these animations.

Cheerilee is now EQD's official newspony.  All hail our new magenta overlord. 

Story Updates January 15th (Morning)

I notice a lack of interest in Trixie stories on EQD! This is ridiculous, as I need you all to pick them for me!

Your new homework is to read whatever story you are following in this update, then hit up a Trixie story! Report to me with the best!

Nightly Roundup #216

They didn't even try to invite Cheerilee! She is the obvious superior caretaker of the show.  The poor girl feels left out now.

Have some news while I go try to cheer her up.

State Press Magazine Does a Pony Article!

I was going to put this in the roundup, but that timeline is awesome. 

Someone from over here in Arizona recently did a really neat article on Friendship is Magic.  As most of you probably already know, the group over here is pretty damn active, so I guess this was inevitable.

Naturally, she interviewed a bunch of us. 

Check out the entire article here! And be sure to click the image on the page for a really neat full timeline.
