Nightly Roundup #1311

I wonder how hooves would work for a backrub? They seem a bit too hard and not flexible enough for it. But I guess if your body is made out of marshmallow like Rarity, a back rub with a hard hoof would feel just fine.

News time my friends! Get it all after the break!

Fringe Weird Pony Stuff - A New Anime About Lesbian Horse Girls Is Coming...

Because the concept of lesbian horses couldn't get any weirder than the pony fandom's take on MLP, Japan has attempted to one-up it with a new anime dedicated to lesbian horse girls going to school. Check out the trailer for Uma Musume Pretty Derby below... I think?

British Gaming Company "Relentless Software" Opens New Studio for Hasbro Games

A gaming company going by the name of "Relentless Software" has dropped 781k to build a new studio in Wales with the main purpose of building new games based on Hasbro's toy characters. These guys are pretty active in the casual game market, with several Kinect and mobile titles under their wing from "Buzz" to "The Trace" for iOS.

They haven't released any information on what Hasbro brands in particular they will be targeting, but considering the movie in 2017, it wouldn't be too surprising to see some kind of tie in with it similar to their other brands. I don't know how thrilled I'd be at more mobile stuff, but there is always the chance we will get a real cartoon quine game form it.

Thanks to Matthew for the heads up!

Sunburst Plushies Appear and He is Adorable!

It's been a little more than a day and we've gotten two adorable Sunburst plushies in our inbox! While I bet these have been in production since the previews came out, it's still awesome to see plushies of new characters appear so fast! The one from Essorille is still for sale so grab him up while you can!

Great job to both RufousCat and Essorille!

Drawfriend Stuff #1846

I know it's easter, and we usually have a holiday header, but we also don't usually have an episode premiere happening the day before. How could I not head this with some Flurry Hearts and Sunburst?

Start with that, and get a bunch of art below!

Lauren Faust Discusses Pony Love Lives, History, and More (Incoming Silliness!)

We all love when the DHX staff give us snippets of information about the show and its lore, but one thing they equally love is messing with us. Lauren was in such a mood today and started answering questions on the love lives of some of our pony friends!

Check on after the break for the tweets I was able to find! Expect silliness ahead! If I missed any tweets from her about this topic, let us know in the comments!

Thanks to Alex, CRW and Spring Jewl for sending it in.

Pony Spotlight #10 - Twilight Velvet

Howdy, folks! TheSlorg here with another Pony Spotlight. With season six under way, we're sure to see plenty of new ponies we can take a closer look at. But first, we still have plenty of requests to see to!

This week we have a pony who kind of fills both roles, so if you don't want spoilers you should go watch the season premiere first!

She's a mother to two princesses, her son is captain of the royal guard and prince of the Crystal Empire, and her granddaughter is the first known pure-born alicorn in Equestria's existence! It's Twilight Velvet!

So what is there to be said about Twilight Sparkle's mom? Find out below the break!

"The Crystalling", Parts I & II: Episode Followup

Four months. Four. You can count that on your hooves.

I'm joking, of course. It would be sick and unscrupulous of me to accuse all you fine readers of being horses. What do horses know? They can't read. I'm perfectly safe writing all this.

We're here, everyone! Four months since our last episode of MLP and we're already hurtling headlong into another magical season of peculiarly magic ponies -- in particular, one of whom went from being the arguably most unsettling villain to appear in this show yet to... a friend-in-training.

My name is CouchCrusader, I'm thrilled to be doing this again, and below the break I present 99 reasons why kids are horrible, horrible ideas.
