Tonight is going to be Octavia Edition whether you want it to be or not.
Also, tonight is Cereal Edition, because Seth is too busy to post this because he went to some meetup and I'm kind of jelly about that. Anyway, on with the news!
Smosh Posts Fluttershy, Cereal Doesn't Know Who Smosh Is
Yep. As an addendum to last night, Smosh posted a Fluttershy mustache picture in the Your Argument Is Invalid series. You can find the page here.
BroNYCon PMV Contest is Cancelled
KuRoSuwako writes to let us know that the Bronycon PMV contest has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond his control. He apologizes to everyone who has already entered.
Village in Poland Found, Apparently Named Brony, Puns Made
Yeah. That's pretty silly.
My Little Pony Poem Made, Called 'The Neighcronomicon'
A pony by the name of Blader has sent us a poem. According to his email, it is 'a short affair of 20 4-line stanzas, near 700 words'. Since we don't normally publish such short stories, it gets a special place in the nightly update instead.
You can find The Neighcronomicon here.
Trixie Plush eBay Action Update, Trixie Still Awesome
This Trixie plush eBay auction, which we may have posted here before but I forget, has been updated, and now sits at $152.50. That's pretty impressive. I would bid, but I have no money. You should go bid, though.
Plentiful Pony Pasta Surfaces
I ran out of words that start with 'P'. More pony pasta has been sighted. The tinned Pony Pasta can now be found in Tesco in the UK. So that's something. It looks delicious, but I may just be very hungry.
New Rarity Toy Surfaces, Cereal Becomes Broke
A new Rarity toy set has come up at Toys 'R Us. It looks like it also includes Scootaloo and two other ponies I can't recognize. You can find it here.
Pony Entry Featured, Runner Up In Kotaku Competition
Clearly, it seems, Kotaku has no problem with ponies. Spot the Rarity in this photo gallery, here.
Top Ten Pony Video Voting for July 2011 Happening Now
A Top Ten event is happening on TheMovieBrony's Youtube channel. You can find all the rules and information in this video.
Lord Of The Rings Getting Ponified, Tolkien Still Rambles A Lot
A thread has emerged on Ponychan to gather ponies to complete the lofty goal of converting the movie script for Lord of the Rings into a pony version. I wish them luck, because those movies were hard to follow with humans. Actually, maybe that was the problem. Humans. So much less cool than ponies. Just saying.
Ponychan thread is here.
Pony Cake Made, Cereal Still Hungry
Emily sends us a photo gallery of a pony cake she made for her brother's birthday! Looks pretty delicious. I'd eat it. If it were my birthday, which it is not. My birthday is... well, it's not for a very long time.
Photo gallery is here.
Colbert SuperPAC Update
Title says it all. There is, according to this increasingly blurry email inbox, a thread on the official Colbert Report forums, here. Go vote!
Spain Getting Ponies, Cereal Realizes He Can't Read Spanish
Yep, Spain is getting both the show, translated to Spanish, and the toy line to go along with it, sometime in September. For those so inclined, there is a Spanish press release here. I'm sure you can run it through Google Translate if you're interested in the details.
More Tumblr 'Ask Ponies' Emerge: Ask Puppet Ponies
I'm not gonna lie, I follow the Ask Octavia and Ask Rarity Tumblr blogs daily. They're so addictive, and I love the artists who draw them. Kudos and a shout-out to both of you, if you're reading this. Keep up the good work.
Anyway, new Ask Ponies blog is here.
Update For "The Vinyl Scratch Tapes - The Master Recording"
I'm gonna use the copy-paste provided in the email. I love that stuff, because it means you get to sit through less of my lame sleep-deprived jokes.
Words from Emerald Page, Project Co-Manger
"This last week has been really fun! The response from all you wonderful bronies has been, just, awesome. All your support is what has driven me to do the best job I can.
Thanks Bronies
That being said, we have opened up auditions today, and the response has already been awesome. But we would love to see more Bronies get involved, especially those interested in the lead female roles. If you would like to contribute to this fun and exciting project, send me an email at emeraldpage@gmail.com or feel free to stop by the project announcement page here. Then come over and chat about it and ask any questions on the PonyChan thread here.
I know you are all looking forward to this, and trust me when I say that I am looking forward to it almost as much as I am looking forward to making you all happy.
Keep being awesome,
Emerald Page
Operation Wikipedia - FiM for Featured Article
Those crazy ponies over at Ponychan are starting a project to get the Friendship is Magic Wikipedia page to Featured Article status. Another lofty goal- help them achieve it! Thread is here.

Usually Seth does this section, because he's usually the guy with all the news about the site in his head. It's a rare occurrence that we're allowed in his head, so, I really have nothing to put here.
Um. How is everypony doing? I hope you're all well and good. Cause, yeah, life can suck sometimes. It's kind of the nature of it all. What kind of pony you can be depends on how well you can tell life to take a hike sometimes and do whatever it is that makes you happy. Just remember that you can always take a step back and reevaluate your situation before making any brash moves that you might regret later. Measure twice, cut once. If you're going to do something, do it right.
And that's the life lesson for tonight. Good night, ponies. Have some Rarity.

ReplyDeleteI really want some pony pasta :(
ReplyDeleteSocktavia.
ReplyDeleteHey, Cereal? You cut the links on that Vinyl Scratch Tapes email. Mind re-linking the doc?
ReplyDeleteThe Brony article made me chortle ever so slightly.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you Yanks and your brony cons, I so jelly.
@Whiteout
ReplyDeleteFixed.
Haha you jelly! ... Wait i jelly too. :(
ReplyDeleteDont let Seth know, but I really liked your nightly roundup Cereal. XD
ReplyDeleteDon't bother with that LotR thread. The guys running it have no idea what they're doing.
ReplyDeleteThe nightly round ups are so awesome
ReplyDeleteI liked the way you did this Cereal, just saiyan.
ReplyDeleteAlso you're my waifu btw.
Pony Cake Made, Cereal Still Hungry
ReplyDeleteNew Rarity Toy Surfaces, Cereal Becomes Broke
^ You should do some more of these sometime.
Still no Ballad of Twilight Sparkle update, Still broke and hungry.
^ Even if the kitchen is like literally beside me.
I'm pretty sure that the MLP spanish version is going to go SO wrong
ReplyDeleteLove the life lesson of the night thing, and the headline titles. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteHusbando rather.
ReplyDeleteGood night regardless!
Needs moar Rarity.
ReplyDeletei can actually read spanish :)
ReplyDeleteI loved that poem.
ReplyDeleteLotr is the best book of all time even with humans. But Lord of The Rings with ponies... By Celestia's beard, mind = blown.
ReplyDeleteThe BroNYcon PMV contest is canceled?
ReplyDeleteWhhhyyyyyyyy
I'm really sad. Now I don't have much of a motivation to try and go. I really, really wanted to see my stuff on a big screen.
*looks at the Octavia pic with socks*
ReplyDeleteBLANK FLANK!
Luna-damn it Rarity is so...........so....perfect.
ReplyDelete@The Linker Yeah, I was really psyched about the contest, I already put a load of hours into a vid I was working on. Disappointing news to say the least. Oh well, I guess I'll try working on it anyway.
ReplyDeletethis is the best post today cause it has rarity:3
ReplyDeleteI approve of Octavia in socks.
ReplyDeleteAww, I'm late to my own edition. I love you all too. <3
ReplyDelete"Fluttershy is my mustache. Your argument is invalid!" <3
I giggled at the Wiki entry for Brony village. If that were truly the home to all Bronies, it would have a population WAY over 80. ;)
That Trixie plushie, though nice, is way over what I would pay for a plushie. Even Trixie. Unless it were life-sized. Then exceptions might be made.
Ponified LoTR might be interesting.
And another tasty-looking Birthday cake. Dang. I jelly.. again.
Bronies are going to start to overrun the Colbert forums now. Gotta love it, amirite? :)
As for the Ask Octavia blog... darn posers pretending to be me. I tell ya. >:( I tell ya what! /Hank Hill
And that little speech at the end, Cereal.. that was so beautiful. :') lol But seriously, I liked it. And a picture of Rarity works, since it kinda feels like something she might say in that way.
You reach your mouth in
ReplyDeleteYou reach your mouth out
You reach your mouth in
And you scoff that thing about
You eat a Pony Pasta and become a little stout
That's what I'm singing about
Polfriend here:
ReplyDeleteBrony in polish means harrows, so it is kinda obvious name for a village.
@Cereal Velocity
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Unfortunately, the lack of pony merch in the UK means I get dead excited over pasta. I HAVE TWO TINS.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason Octavia always struck me as male. Therefore pink socks makes he/she seem...odd O_o
ReplyDeleteOh damn, I had an entry in the PMV contest :(, that was a shock.
ReplyDeleteDang, that poem was awesome. Never knew Abdul Alhazred was a Brony. Who would have thought...Ia! Dagon! Ia! Nyarlathotep! Ia! FLUTTERSHY!
ReplyDeleteThe pasta's been previously posted.
ReplyDeleteThe ponies in the playset are Rarity, Seafoam, me and Dinky-after-she-fell-in-Celestia's-bubble-bath.
^The pasta was posted that it was in Morrisons,not Tesco.
ReplyDeleteYes, but does the pasta taste like apples?
ReplyDeleteThe person selling the Trixie plush is also selling a Cupcakes Version of Rainbow Dash. Now thats the plushie I really want. Poor Rainbow.. I'd take care of you and clean your wounds ; ;
ReplyDeleteIf Filly Fluttershy is your mustache, you will win every argument. The only thing I think that could beat that is a Rarity mustache which I'm surprise isn't here today, considering we have every other Rarity related thing here.
ReplyDeleteCereal Roundup is best roundup.
ReplyDeleteThe Pony Pasta entry should've been called "Plenty Pony Pasta Pops Up!"
ReplyDeleteThat Rarity toy looks...exactly the same XD and is Scootaloo stuck in a Mary-go-round?
The Spanish press release pretty much says that the ponies will be avalieble by the time school starts again. Way to kick the kids in their little asses Hasbro -___- Also, it looks like the toys suffer no changes, so hopefully we will be able to get some. I so wanna get me a Dashie.
Rarity is second best pony :3 Rainbow Dash is still the best.
(The pasta is also in ASDA. Basically it's everywhere.)
ReplyDeleteI just had the pasta. There were too many buildings and not enough ponies.
I'm from Poland and I didn't knew about village called Brony. THANK YOU, EQUESTRIA DAILY!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I consider myself to be financially well off. I haven't gone back to work since March, but I still have a comfortable little side fund set up to tend to my needs, wants and caprices. But I can't afford to drop over $150 on Smug-Ass Trixie: The Plush, and that makes me feel sad.
ReplyDeleteOctavia, socks, and Rarity in the same post.
ReplyDeleteThis day must be remembered !
You know with all the PMV's out there someone needs to make a PMV website like animemusicvideos.org dare I say even call it ponymusicvideos.org.
ReplyDeleteThe Rarity toy is the counterpart of the Carousel Boutique on the show, but Hasbro actually represented it as a carousel. Scootaloo-on-a-stick is one of the carousel ponies. The little animal friends are supposed to ride the carousel.
ReplyDeleteHasbro done and goofed and left AJ without her hat again.
ReplyDeleteWhen will they learn?
My extended edit of the MLPFIM theme song, with the extra verse from Twilight's storyteller doll!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYQHbOEQ2WQ
The ears on the Trixie plush look almost like demon horns. It's actually kinda creepy.
ReplyDeleteDat Octavia, the monitor do nothing. It melted from adorableness DX
ReplyDeleteHaha this is pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteI went ahead and joined the Colbert Forums to show my support of Ponies in the SuperPAC. A great idea, and not to mention its a great place to go for random pony imagery .
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that people have enjoyed my poem. It was a spontaneous thing, but now I am planning a larger undertaking. A poetic runthrough of the entire Season 1. This might take a while though.
ReplyDelete-Blader
< is a huge Smosh fan
ReplyDeleteYeah they just collect those from the internet. We'll know they're bronies when they make a video about it.
"My Little Pony, My Little SHUT UP!"
P.S. My favorite is a toss up between Teleporting Fat Guy, and Transformers Rap.
Artist for the Rarity blog here
ReplyDeleteand oh my god I got a shout out.
This makes me want to do even more blog posts now
I bet that Ziggy pasta is pretty bland. *snort*
ReplyDeleteno herpy dooves or sigjaw? I'm disappoint, cereal. :(
ReplyDeletebbl, moving to poland
ReplyDeletethe spanish one says that is for both boys and girls I'mokaywiththis.jpg
ReplyDeletealso they call Sweetie Belle a mane character WTF
Having just read Fallout: Equestria Chapter 34, pony pasta ain't at the top of my wishlist anymore...
ReplyDeletePlentiful Pony Pasta Procured!
ReplyDeleteOutlets Overrun by Obese Obsessives!
Yay! Fans of all ages! Girls and boys!
ReplyDeletePonies are for everyone. :)
Thanks for validating that.
Cereal should do these more often.
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my eye out for that pasta >.>
ReplyDelete@AnonymousIt is indeed.
ReplyDeleteThat smug Trixie is making me a bit disappointed. I'd say, "take my bits, all of them", but unless I forgo textbooks and food, that still wouldn't get me a winning bid...
ReplyDeleteSocktavia is so super cute... But those socks would look better on Fluttershy. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteAnd now Rarity graces the front page of Kotaku in her full (disgruntled) glory!
ReplyDeletehttp://kotaku.com/5826279/
Sure the article is about silly lawsuits in Second Life, but Rarity! I could see Rarity as lawyer material.
Even Spain is getting ponies!
ReplyDeleteWHEN IS MEXICO GOING TO GET PONIES?!
> FiM for Featured Article
ReplyDeleteWaste of time. People will just be like "bluh bluh cartuuns r not relevant enuff". It will just get torn apart and replaced by a list of stubs with no useful information. They don't actually care about well-written articles.
Scootaloo-on-a-stick > Chicken-on-a-stick
ReplyDeleteI'm already signed up for the Vinyl Scratch tapes, I'm just waiting on my e-mail with the audition instructions.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteAnd what makes you think that?
i'm not sure if i could eat anything pony shaped.
ReplyDelete*looking the My Little Pony Playset*
ReplyDeletemfw "Free Shipping!"
LOL
I read The Neighcronomicon in Patrick Stewart's voice.
ReplyDelete@The Linker
ReplyDeleteHey Linker. Random remark: your Hero PMV is epic. Like, really epic. Just thought I'd say it again.
@Anonymous 1:37
ReplyDeleteI laughed. Well done.
The Wikipedia one isn't so much a thread about getting the FiM Wikipedia page to be a Featured article as it is one post about that, followed by a thread of people complaining about furries
ReplyDelete@ActionScripter9109
ReplyDeleteI've got this thread subscribed, so I'm reading everything on my e-mail, whether new comments on this post or comments on Hero (PMV) itself...
I was totally confused about which one I was reading, for a second. o_O
<3! *insert RD's 'so awesome' face*
Sadly, Hero wasn't even eligible for the contest because of all the watermarks and stuff. But he still would have shown it on the big screen, which is all I really wanted. D:
Just got back from the SuperPAC forum, that was scary. Parasprites everywhere. I completely forgot what it was like to be on a non-pony forum. It's probably too late, but if you go over there, have your love and tolerance set to 110%, you'll need it.
ReplyDeleteWell I will be on the lookout on my manifests if I begin to ship the Heinz Pony Pasta in the US... Remember shipping for me is waay different for you bronies.
ReplyDeleteI feel dumb, it wasn't until now that I realized jelly meant jealous... Anyway, we need more speeches like that in out nightly round ups! Go Cereal!
ReplyDelete@Scootaloo
ReplyDeletei don't think that's Seafoam. The unicorn in the playset has what looks to be a pinkish purple and blue swirled icecream cone on her flank. Not two dolphins. >_>
The poem was so awesome! /)^3^(\
ReplyDeleteAnd a personal thanks to you, Cereal. A "Hang in there" message was just what i needed in this one of the "gray days".
@The Linker The PMV contest is RE-OPENED. See http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/08/nightly-roundup-54.html
ReplyDelete@Purple Tinker
ReplyDeleteHooray!
Lol at Brony in Poland, didn't see that coming, 'cause I think in pony. Since PONIES I never doubted that "brony" means me :D not some old rusty harrows.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, That pony in the rarity toy set looks like G3 Cotton Candy (And her cutie mark is the same as her name)as a unicorn. And on the cake, did you notice that Rarity is a marshmellow (just as the fans predicted...)
ReplyDelete
