Nightly Discussion #573

The Athenian look works well with Twilight! She is the Goddess of reason, intelligent Activity, and the arts and literature and Twilight certainly aspires to be one in her own right.

Evening my friends! Have a good Christmas I hope?

Music of the Day #607

Story Updates - December 26th

Snow sounds good right about now. After having a green Christmas it seems like snow will never come!

Anyhow, taking over for Seth today with updates since his internet is derping. Not used to this so be gentle, heh.

Get your updates after the break!

Kimber gets a Dash Onesie in Jem and the Holograms!

I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas had a very good holiday! If the above panels are any indication, it looks like Jerrica, Kimber, Aja, and Shana of Jem and the Holograms had a fantastic Christmas!

I'm curious if Amy Mebberson knew that a Rainbow Dash Onesie is an actual product ($79.99 online only at Party City) when she drew this part of the comic or if Kelly Thompson knew when she wrote the comic. In any event, Kimber's face when she opens her present on Christmas Day is absolutely adorable! Just look at how excited she is!

This is the kind of cross media publicity I like to see in IDW's Hasbro comics. Now if we could see these references work in the other direction and possibly have Jem show up in MLP… or possibly even more fitting Equestria Girls.

If you're curious as to how Kimber received her Rainbow Dash pajamas—it's actually a fairly interesting story—you can check out the Jem and the Holograms 2015 Holiday Special here at comiXology.com. Or you could get either a digital or physical copy direct from IDW Publishing here.

Special thanks to Dynamite Rave for the heads up!

Story: Celestia (Update Complete!)

[Alternate Universe][Slice of Life]

Author: Arad

Description: Everyone knows the story of Hearths Warming Eve. They know the tales of the three pony tribes and how their strife brought the Windigoes upon them, and how the Fires of Friendship saved them from their frozen fates. For countless generations the tale has been told, but how has it changed over those years? Or is any of it true in the first place? Only one pony knows, and Celestia would prefer that the past stay forgotten.

Mario 2 is Now Ponified - Super Mario Allstars Sprite Hack

A while back we posted about a sprite hack that was aiming to ponify Mario 2. As of two days ago, it has finally completed. This is part of an entire package of planned mods for Super Mario Allstars. Exact description:

The ponification of Super Mario Brothers 2 is now done. So, merry Christmas. This is a 16-bit revision of Herooftime1000's 2011 ponification of the 8-bit version and was indeed inspired by his original hack
