Yet another lineup of pony figurines is heading to the world of chocolate egg toys that probably wont ever see the light of USA stores. These guys tend to have a plastic egg inside a chocolate shell that includes a figure. They also list this display set to go with it.
Expect it all to arrive some time in August or September.

As a biologist it would make sense that Twilight would rank pretty highly on my favorite pony list, but Fluttershy has a special place in my heart as well. Growing up in the country I've always been surrounded by nature and it's beauty. Later I would apply that love for nature by being the animal and plant caretaker at my college while I worked on my degree as well as when I raised an abandoned squirrel for three years.
While cities are nice I feel most at home among the green of the country and the sounds of nature.
Anyhow, evening guys! Hope you all had a lovely weekend! Ready to chat?

Despite all the exciting teasers, we didn't have a new episode this week, and that means it's time to catch up on a Writer's Training Grounds that we missed from earlier in the season.
"Castle Sweet Castle" was the third episode this season, and helped Twilight, and us viewers, move on from the beloved library to Twilight's new home. Head below the break to check out the fanfic prompts for this one.

Boy it sure has been a long time hasn't it? Looking back on the last Blast post we had over two years has past! Why the long wait? Mainly because I thought the Pony History of the Day section in the Roundups would be sufficient, but after some inspiration from my girlfriend I decided to give these another shot and see how they do!
For those of you who don't remember or joined the fandom in the past two years, the Blast from the Past posts were designed by me way back in 2012 to highlight some of the amazing stuff the fandom had come up with during 2010 and 2011. Seems odd to start a series on stuff that was barely a year old, but with the fandom exploding at that time there were quite a few that had no idea what they had missed.
Anyhow, down to brass tacks. With the revival of the Blast posts I'll be taking suggestions from people for media to spotlight that is at least one year old! This can be anything from music, comics, influential drawing that sparked trends in the fandom, animations, ect. Just send everything to calpain@equestriadaily.com if you have a suggestion! Also, feel free to share some of your own nostalgia in the comments!
Now, on to some history!

And then Dash was a duck. She looks good as a duck. Have you ever noticed that from the middle of the torso up, all pegasus kinda look like ducks? It's amazing.

Earlier today, the awesome Lullaby For a Princess animation finally released. You should go watch that.
Done? Good!
Now check it out in Fakish 60FPS! Obviously this will only effect the transitions and background effects, not the actual foreground animation, but it still looks really slick regardless.
Get it down below!

We are taking EQD to the island today. Enough of this mainland nonsense. Pina Coladas and white sand beaches for ALL!

Get both songs below.
1.) Neighsayer - One With Nature (Instrumental - Acoustic/Island)
2.) Ferexes - Malfunction (Instrumental - Electronic)

Our 99 episode celebration continues as we come down from that MASSIVE HYPEFEST that has started to brew for the big episode 100 celebration in a few weeks!
This time around, we explore some of the awesome destinations littered throughout Equestria! I know I'm not the only one that would spend ALL the money to go tour around ponyland. Fantasy worlds alone are always a blast, but add cartoon equines to the mix with their silly pony ways, and everything about Equestria seems more and more appealing!
Below the break, join us as we explore some of the best Equestrian vacation destinations, from the relaxing villages up in the high peaks of the Foal Mountains, to the creepy underworld where some of the most dangerous criminals are imprisoned! Why would you vacation there? Who knows!
Go check it all out below.

Awoken is probably one of my favorite pony songs of all time, so imagine my surprise when this popped up in the submit box! Wooden Toaster has released a somewhat-related followup of it! Needless to say, it's awesome.

Looks like the girls are in for some trouble if they go into the Everfree. I wonder what is so special about today that makes Derpy a bit off-put from a delivery?

Heh, an interesting idea to have Chrysalis being a roommate to the Royal Couple and leeching off their love. After all they did sort of drive off the changelings from their main food source. Maybe Equestria needs a changeling adoption program?

Discovery Family absolutely flooded their commercial time with episode 100 stuff. Tons of screenshots have arrived, revealing TONS of awesome happenings. If this breif few minutes worth of teasing is any indication, things are going to get absolutely nuts in 2 weeks.
Head on down below for all of them!

As many of you have made us aware over the past day or two, analysis community member Keyframe has a whole bunch of people collaborating and making videos to rescue her from her current household. Her mother is allegedly an alcoholic who physically and mentally torments her, with a passive father who is unwilling to help.
At 18 years old, she no longer qualifies for CPS, and a campaign has started up to get her moved to California where she has applied for the University of California. This one started off with a Paypal donation system in place, which raised 9k, but has now moved to the much more secure GoFundMe platform.
She has since released a personal response.
Head on over here if you want to read the full story and decide if you want to donate to it!
(And on another note, since we tend to get flooded with these after posting them for other things, we typically can't run all of them. EQD gets 1-5 requests for money a day from various people around the fandom. The best possible thing you can do to help someone is use your talents for commissions in their name. Obviously we can't post and vet all of them with all the other duties EQD requires.)

I absolutely love Metroid. I was first introduced to the series with Super Metroid back when I was a kid and I've followed the series since. Once you piece together the backstory for the games it's actually quite a dark world and is the sort of world building I'd expect from Nintendo.
Morning everyone! No episode today so let's have a morning discussion instead!
