Story: The Fires of Friendship

Source

[Slice-of-Life][Adventure][Friendshipping]

Author: Ponydora Prancypants

Description: Rarity and Applejack share a secret history: as fillies, they were the best of friends, until one terrible day soured their relationship for years to come. Forced back together by recent events and mutual friendships, they nevertheless cannot ignore the painful memories of all that went wrong. The past cannot be changed, but when Rarity and Applejack must work together to save their sisters from terrible danger, it just may be the case that a friendship once broken can be reforged in fire, and emerge from the flames stronger than ever before.

Comic: After Rain Comes Sunshine / Don't Believe Everything / The Honest Tooth / The (Iron) Will to Power

We have tons of comics this time around! A few decided to stockpile and send them all at once.

First off is another one of those translated  Dutch comics from the My Little Pony magazine over there.  As is the norm, it's pretty ridiculous... but hey! Official content! I can't complain.

We also have your typical every-day pony ridiculous in the next three slots.

And finally, the last comic is a bit on the saucy side, so avoid that if you are easily offended by pony plot.  It's a pretty neat parody regardless though.  

Tumblr Spotlight: Moonstuck

Guess it's my turn to share a tumblr with you all, eh? Today for the Spotlight I've got the ever adorable Moonstuck tumblr ran by the guru of all things Luna, Egophiliac! If you're ever in need of some cute or funny in your day, make sure to pay this tumblr a visit. The tumblr plays out like an adventure game so leave your input when you can to guide little Woona on her Lunar quest!

Story: A Beautiful Day in Equestria

[Surreal Shipping]

Author: Sir Politic Am-Be

Description: It's a beautiful day in Equestria, and Dash has broken her wing due to a magical spell misfired by Twilight. It's happened before. It's happened too many times.

Vinyl Scratch: Flash Version Eye Colors

It looks like the decompiled version of Vinyl Scratch's flash file comes complete with eyes; Magenta eyes to be exact.  I don't think we can technically canonize this just yet, but to the artists working on the Royal Wedding wedding website, these are her official colors.

I guess that makes sense considering her choice in shades! She did pluck her eyelashes though.  

Music: The Key of Equestria / Too Far Gone / Dreams of a Blue Pegasus Filly / Hurricane

Time for some more Instrumentals! That first one is pretty ridiculous. That's a lot of piano time!

I'm not sure where all this Fluttershy Drums and Bass is coming from, but the music reviewers allowed it so... les do it! 

1.) The Key of Equestria (1 hour Piano Improvisation)
2.) Neu KatalYst - Too Far Gone (Drums and Bass)
3.) Dreams of a Blue Pegasus Filly (The Most Talented Flyers In All Of Equestria) (Acoustic)
4.) Hurricane

Last Call on Pony Sketches for Charity

Look at this Twilight. This Twilight is amazing. She is helping to save a little boy with Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis, (and possibly his twin brother, too) by volunteering herself and the signature of one Lauren Faust to raise money for the treatment. She's doing an amazing job of it so far, with an auction value of $7500! Bronies, you will never cease to amaze me.

But there's still a couple of hours left. If you've got deep pockets, a big heart, and a desire to own a bit of Friendship is Magic history, then you should take advantage of this final opportunity to snag these up for yourself. There will never be a better opportunity to combine kindness and pleasure, so if you can you should really consider it. For the rest of us with very limited amounts of money, sit over here by me and cheer on these fine folks. With a little bit more, ponies can make the the other 88 auction items in this charity drive superfluous. Go for the gold! It's what Twilight Sparkle would want.

The auctions are now over.

Celestia Pose Guide (Final Price: $1800)
Twilight Sparkle Pose Guide (Final Price: $9100)
Pinkie Pie Pose Guide (Final Price: $3100)
G1 Pegasus - "Medley" (Final Price: $2675)
G1 Pegasus - Firefly aka "That Pony Rainbow Dash is Based On" (Final Price: $1366)

-Update!-

The auctions have ended now, having virtually exploded at the last minute. The total value from these pony sketches amounts to  $18,041! This handily beats the record set last year for the Japanese tsunami relief sketches. Just... wow. There really aren't words for a moment like this. Very well done, everypony.

New Royal Wedding TV Spot

This wedding just keeps getting better and better as the Hub continues it's advertising push for the finale of season two. A TV spot has aired featuring the Royal Wedding website once again but this time with a little bit of new footage thrown in the mix. Two new games are also now unlocked on the website which are accessible by clicking either Fluttershy (for a follow the pattern game) or Pinkie Pie (for a construct your own video style game). I still can't believe we're at the end of the season already, but at least it looks like it's going out with a bang!
