Shining Armor and Cadance Day Next Week!

In celebration of Valentine's Day next week it's time to whip out the old memories of the Royal Couple, Shining Armor and Cadance! So you guys know what to do, we're counting on you all to send in your Shining Armor and Cadance artwork, plushies, media and more.

Since material of just Cadance and Shining Armor together is somewhat limiting any material involving Shining or Cadance is fair game.

Send in your own creations or others to [email protected] with the subject header S&C Day followed by the type of media you're sending in.

Example: S&C Day - Comics

We look forward to seeing what you have to send us!

(Note: You can now get a full list of pony days over here!)

Music: Einarx & Liam K - Sonata [Electro House]

Einarx returns with a new banger in partnership with his friend Liam K. A banger of a track, there's an impressive cleanliness to the heavy electro synth that dominates the powerful drop. The break in the middle of the track has some strings and vocal sounds that help to keep up the tension whilst giving some respite from the aggressive sounds before the drop comes back in.

My Little Pony Comics Officially Translated into Russian!

"Я буду печь решение — теперь я знаю как."—Pinkie's Brew

This news is probably a little old for those who happen to live in Russia, however Equestria Daily just got a report in that Russian Comic Company Comics Factory has published the IDW My Little Pony Comics in Russian in Russia.

So far volumes one, two, and three have been published in the country with volume 4 slated for later this year.

The comics have now been published in ten different countries—in nine different languages—that we know of so far. This is absolutely incredible. How far will these comics go? I have no idea. But I am looking forward to finding out!

Special thanks to nh_Snork for the heads up!

EQD Patreon Celebration Post - January - Scootaloo STORM

Do you hoof bump the Scootaloo? Are you even cool enough to hoof bump the Scootaloo?

Sorry this is a day late! I spent all day yesterday working on buttons and that calendar on the side bar. I didn't think it would take as long as it did!

It's that time of the month yet again, and we have a bunch of award requests coming in from the patreon people! If you missed the announcement the other day, we launched a Discord server recently, so a few changes to patreon are coming:

• The EQD Patreon Skype chat tier has migrated to Discord
• Patreon supporters will be getting their own tag in Discord outside of the chat room. Keep an eye out for an announcement there! 
• We might have a few other Discord related rewards. If you have any ideas, feel free to toss them our way. 

This hiatus has been pretty rough, and Google's recent adsense campaigns aren't helping, so thanks a ton to everyone that is sticking around on our patreon. It's pretty much fueling the site this year. You guys are life savers.

If you'd like to join the patreon team, head on over here! Every bit counts.

Now go get your celebration post below!

Season 7 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Returns in April!

Time for some MLP SEASON 7 HYPE! RarityMLP20 over on Twitter decided to throw a random fishing line over to the official Discovery Family Twitter account, and amazingly enough someone came back with an actual month! While they haven't released any kind of official press release yet, and dates and times can and do change, as far as we are concerned, it looks like April is our month for new pony this year!

You can get a screencap of the twitter message below.

Now we just need to figure out a way how to kill 2 months.

Rock Music: Tuna Licks - No Explanation [Punk Rock] / Indie Notes - Faithful & Strong [Acoustic]

Whether you like energetic and fun or chilled out and calm, there's something in this post for you! First up Francis Vace and Quicksilver have gotten together for another track, with the name Tuna Licks being the opposite to Luna Ticks due to their performing the opposite rolls to usual. Quicksilver takes on the lead vocals, and Francis serves up a high energy instrumental to match. The second track is a more mellow acoustic-style piece from Indie Notes that comes from his new album, Under Equestria's Skies. The guitar playing is solid and the vocals add some great depth to the piece. Grab them both below!

Pony Month In Review - - 60+ Highlights in Pony News and Fan Works for January 2017!

A new year arrived, and with it a boatload of pony! Drawfriend especially has been absolutely flooded. Maybe due to Winter Break early on? I have no idea. Suddenly a hundreds of new artists have arrived in the fandom.

If you missed it, we have a new youtube ad and we really need help spreading the word! We will start showing it off on people's channels soon, but word of mouth is always stronger. Please help us with that if you can!

Along with that, EQD now opens all links in posts in a new tab by default, hopefully making this much easier.

Now go get your 60+ major pony things of the month below! It's Month in Review time.

Discussion: Which Actor Would Make the Perfect Starswirl the Bearded?

With William Shatner joining the pony team a few days ago, many are wondering who exactly he will be playing. His voice tends to work best for the type of character with a ton of charismatic wisdom, which has spawned a group that thinks this may be our first look at an in-show Starswirl. It's kind of an inevitability if you think about it. For a unicorn mentioned so much throughout the last six seasons, I'm actually surprised we haven't gotten a glimpse of the past or some kind of magic fueled cross-time communication yet.

This brings in an interesting conundrum though. If not Shatner, who else would be the perfect Starswirl the Bearded? Some mention Patrick Stewart or Ian McKellan, and since MLP seems to love inviting old Star Trek actors on board, it wouldn't be surprised if one our current staffers didn't poke the former.

So comments section, who's it going to be? One of the three above or someone else entirely? Would a Morgan Freeman or Liam Neeson do it?

Orchestral Music: GhostXb - Big Sister Lullaby (feat. Angel Love) / Jyc Row - Friendship Is Epic Main Theme

Some orchestral music today with new releases from GhostXb and Jyc Row. GhostXb's piece is an orchestral-style lullaby, with some beautiful vocals provided by Angel Love. There's some great emotion from the music box-style sound at the start, and the strings as well. It's a short piece, but a good one. Jyc's track is the main menu theme for upcoming game Friendship Is Epic, and it's full of epic-sounding material in his trademark style. There are some great uplifting melodies, and it definitely gets you hyped in the way a menu theme for an action game should do.
