Nightly Discussion #76

Creeepy

You FINALLY made it to Equestria. Unfortunately, all of the ponies have some super creepy aspect that personifies your greatest fear. Fluttershy has a nest of spiders in her hair, Twilight Sparkle smells like she hasn't taken a shower in weeks, and Pinkie Pie really is a psychopath. What do you do!?

Or discuss whatever, because why not.

Music of the Day #359

I wonder if Celestia ever got over the whole sister on the moon thing? I can imagine after around 50 years you'd start to stop thinking about it.

Get some Music of the Day below!

Rest in Peace Robin Williams

This may be moving outside of our usual territory, and we debated posting it, but I think most of the "brony" generation watching pony also grew up with this guy. Unfortunately it looks like Robin Williams has passed away. He had some of the funniest movies and comedy routines out there.  I'm sure I'm not the only one that will miss him.

Reddit currently has a megathread going for information on it, as well as an AMA he did less than a year ago. I'd go there for further information.

Feel free to use the comments to reflect.  It's pretty terrible news all around.

Cosplay Compilation #18

How many times have we had a Celestia cosplay up here? I remember one way back in the day, but it wasn't part of the compilations.

Anyway, start with that, and get loads more below!

Random Merch: Chutes and Ladders Found, Place Mat, Cups, and More!

That Chutes and Ladders game announced a while back has popped up over at Walmart.  I wonder what other games we will ponyify by the time this ride ends?

And below the break, more random merch! Get it below!

Music: You'll Play Your Part (ft. Meredith Sims, MEMJ, and EileMonty) / Energy Sway

Some of the top female vocalists in the fandom team up and take a crack at You'll Play Your Part.  Which princess is the best?! Hit the comments up!

And for the hell of it, have a new song from Glaze too.  I have no clue if it's pony related, but it's fun regardless. 

And get the songs below.

Drawfriend Stuff #1254

Did Discord ever go to school? Or was he a normal pony that was corrupted by some weird influence Nightmare Moon style? Will we ever find out?

And get some art below!

HASBRO vs. Bronies

A sequel to last year's Hasbro Vs. Brony Conventions, join Saberspark and ACRacebest as they battle it out against executives and important people at good ol' Hasbro with some unique ideas on how to improve the show.  Or something.  I have no idea.

Update: Wrong video, right one added!

MLP Season 5 Listed for November on Rainbow Rocks Fact Sheet

Phase 4 Films is currently has downloadable fact sheets available for Rainbow Rocks.  Along with the usual huge synopsis, it goes into detail on the tech specs, general product information with release dates, and selling points. 

While we have seen "2015" for season 5 multiple times now (including right from the people at Hasbro/Hub), it currently lists it as releasing in November under the "Selling points" section.

Sadly it's still a complete mix.  A few things to note in the release could mean it is simply old.

Head on down below the break for theorycrafting and join us in hoping that it isn't just a typo!

Discussion: Your Least Favorite Pony Just Had the Most Epic Episode Ever in Season 5. Does This Change Your Thoughts on Them?

Poor Twist =[

Season 5 rolls around, and somewhere in the middle the most epic episode of MLP ever happens.  The fandom is raving about how glorious everything about it was.  The writing makes The Shawshank Redemption seem like one of those kids cartoons they show at 7 AM-10AM every day.  The effects make The Matrix look like claymation.  It was just that awesome.

Amazingly enough though, the entire episode revolved around your least favorite pony.  Fan art is suddenly flooding, songs are being written, and animations being made all centered around him or her.

Do you convert? Or do you keep that bottled up character hate flowing?

Which pony is it? Who is the worst pony, and how would you fix them? 

Story: The Railway Ponies: Highball

[Sad]

Author: The Descendant

Description: I was still a young colt when I took my first steps into the world of steam engines and railroading. I was meant to sing the song of steel, the chorus of the railways. Despite the challenges, discomfort, and dangers, I wanted to be a railway pony. I wanted a fine steam engine like #3803. I wanted to be like Highball. What I got? Well now, there's a story worth telling...
