Description: Is it better to be respected, or admired?
This question has always troubled Chrysalis, and being banished from Equestria has not made it any less of a pressing issue for the queen of the changelings. Cut off from her armies and alienated in a strange land, she adapts and blends in to survive. For a master of deception, this is no difficult feat, but despite her success in the business world, her new life is unfulfilling. She is almost always hungry, because the creatures she has found herself stranded with are much less generous with their love.
More than anything, she longs to be her true self, and to be adored for the regal being she truly is. Of course, she knows that no one could ever love a changeling.
Or could they?
Her Weight in Affection

It's that time once again for Ponies Around the World! Two weeks ago, I told you all to bring your favorite pony toy and take a picture of it hanging out at either a nearby landmark or something you visited on a summer vacation. Now it's time to cash those in!
Knighty has coded us up a new submission system for images, similar to the ones you have all used in the past for the Drawing Training Grounds and other projects. Information on how to use that and where to find it, as well as a reminder of the rules and an example can be found after the break!

After the break, check out my own thoughts and feelings on why conventions can indeed be magic.

Warrior Ponies must be worth a fortune for dentists. That can't be good for the teeth.
Have some art!

A little over a year ago, Equestria Daily held a one-month event called the Newbie Artist Training Grounds, which told everyone out there that yes they could draw ponies if only they would try. It was a long and hard grind, but hundreds of artists stuck it out and showed all kinds of amazing improvement.
But the best part? When it ended, some of the alumni took it to DeviantART and kept on going. For a year now, they've been making their own weekly themes and encouraging newbies to jump right in and get drawing. This community is home to a lot of awesome artists, but there is always room for more. The ATG has already spawned a lot of mainstays in our Drawfriends, and as we stand here now I could not be prouder.
Go over and check out all of their work and see what kind of awesomeness goes on over there. And for all of you I know are asking the question, yes. The Artist Training Grounds are very, very close to making their return to Equestria Daily. Keep watching the skies, and keep your pencils, markers, and styluses at the ready! -
We don't get a whole lot of rap in this fandom! Yelling at Cats and The Living Tombstone collabed up and released this one over on Youtube. The lyrics are a bit more adult than what we usually get, but it doesn't take it too far. It's dark, it's powerful, and it's definitely worth a listen.
Anyway, check it out after the break! Or here.

They're remixes, okay.

1) Alex S. - Trixie The Pony Troll [VIP]
2) TheLivingTombstone - Like A Spinning Record (Blaze Remix)
3) Psychedelic Brony: Gypsy Jazz Bard

One thing to note about Replacer, every track he releases tends to have a completely original feel to it. Everything from Cerulean Blue to his swing style Let Your Mane Down really don't have other songs in the fandom to compare them to.
This one follows the same trend, with a completely new formula for the table. I don't even know what genre to put this in, it's really good though!
Check it out after the break, or here.

For those curious about the upcoming toy releases and overall information on them, Hasbro runs a MLP Faire every year that includes a full Q&A panel to dig in and see what exactly is on the horizon.
After the break, you will find the video of it, and it looks like the uploader created a neat little bullet list of major points if you don't have time to watch the video! Check both out after the break!
Or higher quality here!

Instrumental time!
The first one is sort of a mixture of an original instrumental track combined with some extra This Day Aria elements. The second is an orchestral song dedicated to adult Spike's memories. And the last is some Drums and Bass. Check them out below!
1.) Born a Parasite (Orchestral) - now in PMV form
2.) Comfort of Old Friends (Heart of a Dragon) (Orchestral)
3.)A Day At The Races (DnB Remix)
