Vinyl and Octavia Day Cosplays

Cosplays are such a staple at conventions that if I ever went to a convention where there wasn't any I'd feel that something was horribly missing. As with any character of MLP you're sure to find some Vinyl and Octavia mixed in, especially when friends or couples are attending as they make a great duo!

So without further ado, check on after the break for a sampling of Octavia and Vinyl cosplays!

Drawfriend - Best of Octavia and Vinyl Scratch Humanized MLP Art

More art! I gotta have MORE ART! At least if you like this stype.

NOTE: This is for humanized art. For the best of PONY Octavia and Vinyl today, hit this post up.

For anthro art, go back one post over here.

In other news, humanized tends to be on the scantly clad side. Saucy stuff has been hidden, but there are quite a few bikinis and general skimpy clothing. If you are afraid your eyes will fall out by going to the beach, don't bother with this post.
Go get your humanized horses below.

Drawfriend - Best of Octavia and Vinyl Scratch Anthro MLP Art

For humanized ponies, wait 30 minutes. They will go live at this link.

Time for more pony day celebration! Hope you like art, cause this is jam-packed with it.

In other news, anthro tends to be on the scantly clad side. Saucy stuff has been hidden, but there are quite a few bikinis and general skimpy clothing. If you are afraid your eyes will fall out by going to the beach, don't bother with this post.

Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #2633

That one pony that works the Weather team, Wonderbolts, Twilight's school, random cutie map assignments, and somehow manages to save the world while all of that is going on. Maybe Rainbow isn't so lazy after all~

Art time below! Go get it! Expect humanized/Anthro Vinyl and Octavia after this one.

Drawfriend Stuff - BEST Art of Vinyl and Octavia (2018 Edition)

The last year of art for these two has been pretty incredible. With very few scenes in the show, they still managed a healthy amount of awesome drawings from people around the fandom.

This post only covers the BEST art that has released since our last compilation. For stuff made before then, hit up our best-ofs Octavia and Vinyl posts over here:

• Drawfriend Stuff - Best of Octavia
• Drawfriend Stuff - Best of Vinyl Scratch

Since there wasn't enough art to do two posts again, there will be anthro (here) and humanized (here) versions after the regular daily Drawfriend post. It will be a while to get these done since I have 8 years to go through. And because 50% of them need to be saucy tagged... 

Now go get your Vinyl and Octi below~

Former Storyboarder Sibsy Releases Some MLP Storyboards

For this Memorial Day the ever awesome Sibsy, a former storyboarder on the show, has released some storyboards she did for the show onto her Twitter account. They show her original storyboards compared to how they eventually were used in the show.

It's cool to see how much or little changes from concept stages such as storyboarding up through the final production, isn't it?

Find it after the break and thanks to CRW for sending it in.

Episode Followup: The Molt Down

(Sprite Spike by Mr. Poniator)

As we reluctantly moved on from the days of Gameboy Colours and Pokemon Gold/Silver, so too has our little #1 Assistant become a #1 Man. Sunrise, sunset...

If you've managed to dodge the leaks, international airings, and even Discovery Family itself spoiling this development, you're made of actual magic and I salute you.

Now that we've seen it for realsies, join me down below for screenshots, discussion, and an abundance of puberty jokes! 

Comic: Cobra / I done? 3:20 / Pone Wars 5:27 / Peppermint 32 / Question

Wow, haven't heard that joke in awhile. Don't worry Spike, following that advice would have actually been the worst thing you could do, so just wait for some medical help to arrive.

Comics guys! Get them after the break!

Sad Warning: Why Pinkie Pie Smiles

>Pinkie Pie supporting a sick pony in a hospital

Vinyl and Octavia Day Classic Animations!

There have been a number of great animations of Octavia and Vinyl throughout the years and today we have some classic ones for you that you may have missed if you're newer to the fandom or might want to check out and enjoy the nostalgia if you're an older fan.

Check after the break for all the animations we have for you today and feel free to suggest ones we missed in the comments!

Vinyl and Octavia Discussion: Nostalgia, Favorite Fan Theories and More!

I always have found it amazing how the fandom has been able to shape the simplest background character into something truly fleshed out and as real as any secondary or main character. Vinyl and Octavia are a great example of this: two interestingly designed background ponies who individually began to develop a following, who then gave these characters their own histories, and then eventually melded the two together as friends (or more if you're going by shipping standards).

So for those of you who have been in the fandom long enough, what were some of your favorite moments in time during the metamorphosis of these two? What sort of fan theories do you enjoy/dislike? Or maybe, what sort of aspects do you find enjoyable or annoying about the Vinyl and Octavia we know today?

Talk about it all in the comments!

Morning Discussion #1226

I wonder how different things would have been if Vinyl was the classical musician and Octavia was the DJ?
