Totally Legit Recap: "A Matter of Principals" Season 8 Episode 14

DWK returns with another Totally Legit. Even more legit than the last one. At least that's what some are saying. It's going to be hard to beat a song though. I still have that stuck in my head sometimes. Luckily we had a new Kirin song today to clean that up for a bit.

Get some Matter of Principals below. 

Nightly Roundup #1472

I always have been quite the fan of traditional artwork! The time it takes and lack of ability to just CTRL+Z a mistake away has always made me respect those who attempt it.

News time guys! Get it all after the break.

EXCLUSIVE: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #70—Extended Preview!

I hope everyone is ready to have some fun this Wednesday, because it's BINGO night in Ponyville!

Thanks to our friends at IDW Publishing, Equestria Daily is proud to bring you the exclusive first look at the extended preview for My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #70!

With slick art by fandom artist turned pro Pencils, this is going to be another comic issue to remember!

But you don't have to take my word for it. You can check it out after the break!

Soft and Curvey Ponies - Maren Artist Interview / Spotlight

Maren (Or Marenlicious) has been uploading ponies on Deviant Art since all the way back in 2012.  This South Korean based artist has evolved tremendously over that time frame, going from super basic art to one of the most noticable styles in the fandom. His cartoon horses have an almost dough-like softness to them, with silky smooth lines and loads of appealing curves.

I'd say that warrants another artist spotlight, don't you?

Head on down below for an interview, along with a gallery of some of his best pieces!

Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #2726

She just had a rough upbringing. Gilda secretly wants some love.

(AUS) MLP Season 8 Episode 23 - Sounds Of Silence - Discussion

I couldn't really find a good picture with just Applejack and Fluttershy, so have a bunch of AJs crawling all over one big Fluttershy.

Yep, it's Friday guys and you know what that means: time for the Australian broadcast of another pony episode. While the rest of the season has wrapped up at least the English version is quickly catching up!

Things have been sort of all over the place so check out our episode post tag to get caught up.

Pony Plushie Compilation #284

Has Applejack ever headered a plushie compilation? There are 284 of them, so I'm too lazy to go through them all.

Go get plushies below!

Hasbro Adds Part One of "Rollercoaster of Friendship" to Youtube

Looks like Hasbro has added the first part of Rollercoast of Friendship to their channel! It's only the first 10 minutes or so, but if you haven't seen the special yet and are looking for a taste, check out the video after the break!

Thanks to Gian and Chad for sending it in!

Animation: "Discords Therapy Visit" A Moment with DRWolf

We posted a teaser for this a little while back and it seems like the whole animation is now out for Labor Day weekend!

Get DRWolf helping Discord right after the break. Thanks to Chad for sending it in!

Friendship is Magic Returns to Netflix... With a September Removal Date

This certainly didn't last long. Friendship is Magic is officially back on Netflix, after less than a day since it was pulled from the US version. Possibly they just wanted to renew it for the year, like they always do in August? Who knows.

We are also not sure for how long this will last, since the new removal date is currently set to September 6th/7th. But for now pony is back, and it's back up in the Australian version too, with the addition of Season 7, so I wouldn't worry too much about it leaving Netflix soon.

Thanks to PinkiePie97, Stormy and more for the heads up!

Morning Discussion #1321

A nice casual evening with one of your best friends: sandwiches and a nice drink. Sounds like the perfect day.

Morning my friends! Ready to chat?

Netflix Officially Removes Friendship is Magic

Welp, it looks like it actually happened. Following Australia and the UK earlier today, Netflix has officially pulled Friendship is Magic off of the US version of the site. The movie and Equestria Girls are still available, but no regular pone to be seen.

There is always still a chance that it will be re-added in the future. There could be some kind of contractual negotiation going on behind the scenes that is hitting a hangup or two. If it returns, we will let you all know as always.

Comic: Pinkie Pie Says Goodnight – Onward!

It's time for the return of the pink party pony! With the international early releases complete, now we focus once again on Australia and Western Hemisphere airings.

Bonus Music #146

Another bonus music is here, and this one is full of orchestral tunes! There's a couple of cool electronic tunes as well to feast your ears on, so check them all out below the break!

Chinese Bronies Do a Documentary on Their Convention Scene. They Also Have Adorable OC's

These OC's. They are too much.

The Chinese brony community is growing. We don't often see much out of them content-wise for whatever reason, but it's out there somewhere, completely unsubmitted. This includes a convention. It's kind of interesting to see how they treat pones over there in their community.

Check the video out below if you are curious.

Nightly Discussion #1546

Just some casual Spitfire on a break. She doesn't look so bad when she is out of uniform.

Friendship is Magic Removed from UK and Australia Netflix - Still Set for the 31st of August in USA/Canada

We are reviving reports from both the UK and Australia that My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has been removed from Netflix. This is after a month of  following it's constant date changes. I'm not the only one that didn't expect it to actually get removed. I'm also probably not the only one that randomly plays "Every little thing She Does" every few days on there just to hear Starlight Glimmer be slightly insane~

The movie and Equestria Girls are still available, and there is a good chance FiM will still make a comeback later on considering it doesn't look like Hasbro has completely left the service.

I'll get a followup going once we enter it's scheduled removal date here in the states, as that should be midnight tonight if it's actually happening.

Thanks to Miak for the heads up.

Stellar Flare and Other Parent Map Characters Have Been Added to Gameloft App

 The Gameloft MLP app has seen another update with the introduction of the cahracters from Sire's Hollow. Stellar Flare, the salespony, librarians, and Firelight are all now in the game. You can't actually buy them yet, but that will probably come later with a quest or two.

Get a screenshot of the rest below.

The Two OC's From HASCON's Raffle Were Animated in the Finale - Here They Are!

Way back in September of 2017, a raffle took place during the first ever official HASCON. During the convention,  a paid "Mane Event" happened, with the included perk of each attendee getting an OC created by Hasbro artists based on a short personality quiz (picture below the break).

Two lucky people would have those OC's added to the actual show, and since the season finale has officially aired in Sweden and Denmark, we finally get to see what said characters look like!

Since The Illustrious Q here on EQD actually won one of these slots, we have some information on that first pony up there. Unfortunately the rainbow filly is still a mystery. Hopefully we get a name for her later on.

For now, get some details below.

Pony Club Adds Weather, New Shader System, Accessories, and More

That is some beautiful looking pixel art right there. The social game PonyClub has released a few new updates since we last covered it. A weather system has been added, with sunny days and relaxing thunder storms adding a bit of flavor to the world. Along with this, they've added a bunch of neat little tasks and adventures for you to do, along with a graphic overhaul via an updated shader system and lighting.

Head on down below for the notes and some screenshots! Or hop in and explore it all yourself over here.

Comic: Armour / Hugs / Cactus / Rogue 11:12 / Dark Side 2 / Applejacks / Song

Twilight, why do you have to be so cute? Maybe it's not that you've mastered friendship, just that you're so danged adorable no one can resist your friendship.

Comics guys, get them after the break!

Music: Dynamite Grizzly - Yak Funk (Spiritual Mix) [Drum & Bass]

Dynamite Grizzly is king of the old-school techno sound, and here there's a showcase of their ability to produce some exceptional old-school drum & bass too. With a funky bassline and some cool folk-y background vocals here and there, it's got a greak Yak vibe, paired together with some lovely percussive feels. Check it out below!

Morning Discussion #1320

This update comes a little late as I got bombarded by my first week of student teaching, but Fiesta SEAPonyCon has another brand new update to share with you all before the big event in October! Concerning vendors, musicians and more you'll just have to check on after the break to find out!

Bonus Music #145

It's about time for some more bonus music! We've got an old but newly uploaded tune from Jyc Row, a bunch of sweet electronic remixes, a bass cover of Friendship Bound and a bunch of other cool stuff. Check it out below!

World of Equestria Alexa Facts and Trivia App Arrives

A fan-made app for Alexa has appeared that has popped up over on Amazon. It comes with two major categories:

• Equestria fact: Alexa randomly chooses a fact to tell. You can listen to just one, or as many as you like.
• Equestria trivia game: A series of 3 random questions. The goal, get all 3 correct. If you get some wrong, there's a bonus question if you want it. You should be able to play every day and always get a different combination of questions. 

The app is in continued development with more trivia questions and facts being added over time. It also has a few secret quirks that pop up when the answer isn't something she recognizes.

Download it over here.

And other countries can be found on the forums.

Nightly Discussion #1545

She looks devious...like she has just formulated a plan or whatever it is that you just did to try and stop her just seemed awfully cute to her and now you're truly boned.

Action PMV: The Grand Conjuration / Equestria WAR

I feel like these would be good sellers of the show to people who aren't in the know. How action packed~

We've got two pony music videos for you all today. Get them below.

Mad Magazine Posting Pony References in Recent Issue

Mad Magazine has once again popped up on the pony bandwagon to show off some pony references in their recent issue. The one above celebrates Ready Player One, and the other is part of their rejected Jeopardy categories. It's good to see our meme is still strong enough to invade printed publications.

 Get the second image below.

Drawfriend - Equestria Girls / Anthro MLP Art Gallery #41

More humanized and anthro for the people out there that love this stuff. We've got a pretty good mix today, albeit with a very hidden anthro section as always. Something about that side of the fandom just screams lewd I guess.

Let's Review: Ponyville Mysteries #4

The time has come once again to follow the Cutie Mark Crusaders Super Sleuths on a mystery. This time it's a search for thieves of natural resources while clearing a family's name.

Check out the full review after the break but use caution! This post will be drawing from a spoiler spring.

Comic: Dark Side / Proposition / End in Friend Deleted Scene / Pone Wars 6:21 / Psycho

An evil Flurry Heart comic? An interesting idea...Considering how we don't really know what she will be like when she grows up it could work.

Comics guys, get them after the break.

Behind The Scenes – ‘On the Road to Friendship’

Sure, it aired already, but these animatics are pretty cool in general aren't they? We've got a new behind the scenes from Discovery Family starring Trixie and Glimmy from "On the Road to Friendship". Check it out below !

Music: Vylet Pony - Prom Night Equestria, 1988 (feat. Namii) [Pop Ballad]

Vylet's been playing with a bunch of different soulful styles lately, and here he's put together a beautiful prom ballad-style piece inspired by his time in the fandom, and a good dose of the classic 80s Cheerilee. His duet vocals with Namii are really pretty, and work together excellently with the sultry instrumental. Check it out below!
