You guys have been busy since the last Plushie Compilation! It's been less than two weeks and we've got around 60 plushies to share with you guys today, including the amazing Zecora plush above. I don't think I've seen plush of her in her AU outfit before!
Get more cute friends after the break!

We've been considering launching a patreon for about a year now, but because I'm a huge chicken it's still sitting in limbo. I don't usually like doing a whole lot with EQD on the money front outside of google ads and random pony licensees, so it's a hurdle!
Maybe you all can help make it more fun? We need ideas for backer rewards. So far we have:
- Monthly thank you post people can contribute to in tiers
- Twitter shoutouts
- An EQD blogpony chat for backers to join and bother us about things
- Editorial requests
- Cheap Fandom advertising section for commissions, Etsy shops, and other things (no licensees allowed - fans only)
A bunch of other ideas have popped up and left over time, and I'm still worried about doing anything annoying. If you have a recommendation, hit up the comments with it!
Hopefully we can get this going next month after tomorrow's CHAOS.

MLP: CCG fan Destiny Draw solved the secret code that was being slowly revealed on Enterplay's Facebook and Twitter, and the reward is the early release of information about two gameplay mechanics debuting in "Marks in Time," the new CCG set coming out in May.
The first of these reveals came today: it's Cutie Marking, which you can see above on cute little Rara and Derpy! They came along with this description:
"If a card can be Cutie Marked, you may pay 2 action tokens to do so, which also puts a +1 power counter on the card. As you can see on our two example cards here, getting a Cutie Mark can give a Friend a one-time effect or have further long-term impact on the game... and sometimes cards have both! Some of these abilities include stuff like gaining keywords, interacting with your opponent's cards, or even fiddling with Troublemakers and cards in hand."
There are more than 20 cards in Marks in Time related to Cutie Marking, so we'll definitely have more to look at as we get closer to release weekend. -

Description: Canterlot High and Crystal Prep Academy each have their fair share of amazing students, both academically and athletically. None, however, are quite as notable as Rainbow Dash and Indigo Zap. A short time after the near-disastrous events of the Friendship Games, the two star athletes from each school arrange to meet up for a chat at a city park, where they find that they're not as different as they may have thought.

Even in Equestria you have to worry about the paparazzi, though it looks like there are some other problems these two need to work out. Warning: the comic above is best for mature audiences. Don't click if you have a problem with suggestive stuff.
With that out of the way, check on after the break for more!

With an owner as kind as Fluttershy you'd think Angel would be just a bit happier to be her pet. I guess he does love her in his own sort of way though, right?

Season 6 might have already started, but given the premiere it's a great time to reflect on what happened in season 5. Tonight we have a long and epic comic doing just that, written from the perspective of the artist, Esuka.

Derpibooru said the picture was safe. I swear.
Now that we have a reformed Starlight that helped save the world, I wonder if she is going to get her own episode to shine. Also, what's going to happen during the finale? Hey guys, ABagOVicodin here. The hiatus is over and pony has descended upon us, if the submission email is any indication.
We had a lot of fun talking about all the premieres and finales that MLP has released, along with reviewing last week's episode. Check out the podcast with CouchCrusader, Phoe, Allyster Black, and me after the break!

Considering the popularity of Zootopia I knew it wouldn't be too long before pony and Zootopia merged. Derpy makes a lovely henchman doesn't she?

Princess Celestia is difficult to figure out. Equal parts mysterious and under-developed, she’s often the target for criticism and parody.Having engaged in both, I feel the need to show Celestia at her best. How convenient that the My Little Pony Micro series offers just that.Catch the look back after the break, but watch out for spoilers!

Not only is Snow Drop celebrating its third anniversary this year, but Children of the Night, the epic Luna animation by Duo Cartoonist, is celebrating its third anniversary as well! Even three years later Children of the Night is still mentioned by pony fans across the fandom becoming a mainstay as strong as JanAnimation's pieces.
For those of you not familiar with Children of the Night then this will be a treat for you! For everyone else I bet it'd be a nice trip down memory lane.
Check on after the break for the perfect nighttime song!

[Sad][Slice of Life]
Author: plumander
Description:
Happy Ending
Golden Harvest farms carrots, is incredibly devoted to her husband, and lives in bubbles.
Written Script writes and travels far too often, but is charismatic and well-liked.
Derpy likes muffins and is legally unfit to take care of her foal.
And then there's Dinky, who (legally) belongs to Golden Harvest and (legally) must visit her mother once a month.
Life is incredibly complex, but it's also profoundly simple.

Flurry Heart has created a lot of confusion on the origins of Alicorns. The season opener seemed to imply that she was the first pony to actually be born as one. We've had canon stating both that this state of pony evolution is earned on one end, and born into on the other.
Amy Keating Rogers (the writer behind the Journal of the Two Sisters) decided to clarify it for someone asking over on Twitter.
Head on down below for all of it!

It's been a little more than a few days since the premiere and we finally have ratings for the first two episodes of season 6! With episode one netting 383,000 viewers and episode two bringing in 373,000 viewers it looks like people were pretty happy with the premiere, sticking around for both episodes.
Remember, Big Jim said ratings don't really effect FiM much so don't go nuts thinking the show is sinking.
Thanks to Andrew and Josh for sending it in!

[Shipping] Rariburn! That's a Rarity.
Author: RedSquirrel456
Description: When Rarity has a chance meeting with Braeburn, a blossoming friendship is tested by the latter's sudden silence. Undeterred, Rarity chases the frontier pony to Appleloosa, determined to know what he is keeping from her and keep their connection alive.
The Prince of Dust (New Part 10!)
She finds a new world clashing with everything she thought she valued, a town determined to push her generosity to the limit, and obligations tearing her in two directions at once. Amidst the dirt and sand, a search for friendship turns into something much more serious.

It was with many a heavy heart that most of us learned that M.A. Larson would, indeed, not be writing for season six. The writer for the infamous Twilight Sprouts Extraneous Limbs and, more recently, The Adventures of the Background Six- among many, many others- Larson has been with the show for as long as anyone else.
Before all of that, though, we kindly (and by kindly, I mean publicly on Twitter in front of everyone) asked if he would be willing to do an interview with us. Many years passed, where we can only assume that brave, handsome man went off into the desert to fight a giant sand worm for taking his arm. Out of the blue, though, our email was returned to us, full of gifts, thoughts, retrospective, and tales of wonder.
Yep, we interviewed Larson. You should read it.
If ever you had a deep, burning question about his role as a writer for the show, or for his recent Pennyroyal Academy novels, or what he thinks about Derpy, this is the stop for you. He was very forthcoming with all of our questions, and for that I and everyone else on the team thanks him.
It's below the break. Have at it.
