Writer's Training Grounds update

Hey guys. Derpy here forgot to remind me that the Writer's Training Grounds submission form was closed all week.  That's my bad, sorry!

The form is now open and I've added another 24 hours to submit before we close it for this week.  Thanks for bearing with me!

Alicorn Faust's Studio!

Standalone sculpts are amazing by themselves, but when you put extra work into the environment that sculpt is in it can make for an amazing overall piece! Not only is the quality of Fausticorn superb, but the little production sketches to the posters on the wall really add a lot of charm to the piece.

Excellent work Daisymane!

99 Episode Celebration - 9 Of the Best Pop Culture Reference of the Last 5 Seasons!

Pony is absolutely overflowing with references to just about everything out there. It's one of the reasons this show is so endearing to the older generations. Almost every episode does something.  It becomes sort of a game to see how many we can pull out in the episode followups.

And so begins the next installment to our 99 episode celebration - Spotlighting some of the best references in the last 5 seasons! Obviously 9 doesn't come anywhere near all of the awesome ones out there, so definitely donate yours in the comments.

Now go check out the list below!

Blast from the Past #20 - Weird Edition

While we got our jam on with last week's Blast from the Past today we're going to be delving into some of weird that our fandom produced back in the day, some of which spawned memes that we still see in the fandom to this day. While there has never been a lack of weird in the fandom, there certainly have been some exceptional ones so check on after the break for some crazy!

General Warning: Some of these on the mature side so proceed with caution!

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 [email protected] if you have a suggestion! Also, feel free to share some of your own nostalgia in the comments!

Now, on to some history!

Comic: Mane Ascendancy / Pie's The Word / Field Trip 5 / Find Yourself 114 / STARS 33-34

Twilight doesn't look too much like a princess except for the wings. I wonder if there are more changes in store for her in the future? I honestly like our tiny little Purple Smart the way she is now, but if something ever happened I'm sure I'd grow to enjoy it.
