• Nightly Roundup #754


    Some of you wanted Derpy and Doctor Whooves, well have them and some more! Now onwards to a rather short roundup tonight. Afterwards we can hit the hay or get going with our days depending on where you are in the world.

    Seeya tomorrow everyone! Oh, and I fixed the numbering on the Roundups so we should be back to the normal count now.


  • Music of the Day #168


    Derpy and a goldfish.  Why not right?  Another image that makes me want to play Windwaker for some reason.

    We have 14 songs in this one.  Get them all below!


  • Breaking Down "The Sombra Concept"


    Sombra may be an underdeveloped character, but was he a bad antagonist? In this video, Texeirax explores the idea that Sombra's possibly, "lawful evil," alignment makes him a more compelling villain than first thought. Check the video out after the break (though be warned: it has a lot of swearing in it).

  • Story: For Every Answered Prayer


    [Sad][Slice of Life]

    Author: LunaUsesCaps
    Description: After another stunt gone wrong, Rainbow finds herself cooped up in a hospital room again. But when she ends up getting roomed with a nine-year-old colt, her stay at Ponyville General takes a turn that's worth just a little more than reading a book about an archaeologist.

  • Artisan Pony Crafts Compilation #23



    Now that is one heck of a sculpture! It almost looks like Chrysalis here popped right out of a video game or something. You've got to be impressed by the amount of work that must have gone into making this turn out just perfectly.

    Hey all, some crafts coming your way for today!

    Huffington Post - My Little Pony Resume Belongs To Either The Least Or Most Employable Person Ever

  • Drawfriend Stuff #909


    I've noticed a unicorn bias here on EQD.  Rarity, Trixie, Twilight Sparkle, Lyra, and Luna always seem to dominate. 

    ...I forgot where I was going with that, have some art!

  • Discussion: What Does Canon Mean to You with FiM?


    Meghan McCarthy recently tweeted a series of responses to a question about how canon Equestria Girls was in respect to the Friendship is Magic universe.  The simple simple response?  EQG did happen, Twilight learned a lesson, but it will not effect the future of the actual show.  Until Twilight falls in love with her new offically pointed bodyguard, Flash Sentry, you don't need to freak out (or if our inbox is any indication, you can stop freaking out!). 

    Onward to the discussion! We have seen loads of fan projects throughout the years that build their own canon in relation to the universe of pony.  The best example of this is Luna. We had a 10+ months to mold her personality in any way we chose, with everything from sad lonely Luna to the trolly and silly.  A poll we did back in September or 2012  (post official Luna) revealed how much the majority of you have stuck to her fanon interpretation, with Gamer Luna completely dominating. 

    So how important is canon to all of you content creators, normal fans, and super hardcore "raise the pitchforks" fans?  In a show that can completely change it wildly between seasons,  what does it mean to you?

  • Spotlight Music: Just Like You / Android Pony Love


    Scootaloo is the best punk rock pony.  Song #1 has a whole boatload of musicians behind it, as you can see from the banner above.   This fandom needs more of this genre.  It always brings back those good ol' childhood memories. 

    Track #2 is an electronic one from a new guy, because android ponies need love too. Just look at Sweetie Bot.  We wouldn't want her going rogue now would we?

  • Story: Light The Sky On Fire


    [Slice of Life]

    Author: EquesTRON
    Description: “Most pegasi figure out flying easily enough. Heck, most of them figure
    out how to do it before they even get their cutie marks.

    “But not me. I couldn’t do it, no matter how hard I tried. I couldn’t
    even hover. Not for more than a few seconds, anyway. And not even Rainbow
    Dash, the greatest flier in Equestria, could seem to help me. We tried
    everything, and I failed every time. Day after day, I tried – and day
    after day, I failed, until finally even I was ready to just give up. I’d
    never be able to do it. Nopony would ever be able to help me to fly...

    “...until the day someone did.”

  • Newbie Artist Training Grounds III - Day 14


    Behold, the glory of the sun! Shining ever brighter, Celestia takes on new forms to shine her countenance down upon you! Transformation is a part of life, and whether that means you become a princess or a firebird or even a badass pony luchador, in the end it's often for the better. We have reached the end of another week; can you feel yourself changing yet? Don't be shy, I bet you'd be surprised. Today was another great chance to show off some creativity, and another case where you all knocked it out of the park. All told, another 309 ponies and things that might once or never have been ponies showed up at our front door, bring the grand event total to a fantastic and astonishing 5812 images! This means we have officially surpassed the year 1 final tally less than halfway through the event! Just... wow. Never doubt your power again.

    How's everybody feeling? Still going strong, or are you starting to get a little bit tired? It's ok if you are, I think that's pretty natural after two weeks of such an intense event like this one. This space in our gallery posts is reserved for reminders, and today's is an important one: don't get mad at yourself if you miss a day for whatever reason. It doesn't mean you're out, and it doesn't mean anybody will think any less of you. If it happens, dust yourself off and give it another go!

    But today is all about changes! We've got pokemon and majora's mask references to go with our alicornifications and changelings galore. A solid snake or two does the trick, to sneak on in and see what else is going on inside. It's transformation central! Reformation Central Transmogrification Central! You're changing, you're changing, you're changing all right! I hope you're satisfied... but if you ain't! Don't blame me! You can blame my friends on the other side. Ensuing voodoo, darkness, and blowing out of finger smoke.

    ....Right then! Let's set our black magics and our references aside for long enough to give you guys a prompt! It's a new week with new lessons, in the great ocean of artistic endeavors, where sometimes things can feel a tad overwhelming. Idea! Let's give a voice to that and head out on a voyage. Today, Draw a pony lost at sea/Draw a pony drifting. Submit all entries here by 11:59 PM, Pacific time (that's United States west coast, all you folks from out of country!) on Thursday, August 29. Keep a weather eye on the horizon!
