Rarity has gone crazy a few times now. I wonder if we will see the "season two" version in the coming episode?
Anyway, have some news.
They Might Be Giants Plugs PMV's on their Facebook Page
It's always fun to see the actual creators of stuff we use in PMV's actually acknowledge it. I remember how excited everyone was when Spike Pilgrim was featured on the Scott Pilgrim facebook page.
Talk About the Weather Podcast With Ponies
This isn't specifically a pony podcast, but more a brony who got interviewed on a non pony cast. Check it out here!
And he wants to apologize for butchering Rarity's element. Poor Rarity...

New York Magazine Brony Article
In response to the Wall Street Journal article, another New York based media outlet jumped on our little fandom here. Usually when you open something and it has a big smiling g1 pony on it, you know its going to be ridiculous, and this one doesn't dash those expectations. Check it out here.

ReplyDeletedat bed!! must have!!
ReplyDeleteWow! It's nice to know that there are bronies here in Finland too! :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for the new episode! <3
YAAY nightly roundup!!!
ReplyDeleteDear god no. I want something sane after 4 crazy episodes.
ReplyDeleteGranted I liked 3 of 4 said crazy episodes, but let's have something more down to earth, eh?
Love from TL.net
ReplyDeleteLady Pinkie?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteoh darn.. pinkie gaga...
ReplyDeletealso: EqD Y U NO ACTUALLY ADD THINGS WHEN U SAY U DO!?!?
I am currently having trouble trying to find words to describe the awesomocity of that bed setup.
ReplyDeleteDO WANT
"Helinski Meetup"? Oh, Seth. :D
ReplyDeleteDAT VIDEO
ReplyDeleteThis episode better have a song. I've wanted new music since the day season 2 started, and if they pass up a Rarity AND Sweetie Belle episode for music, I think I'll have a stroke.
ReplyDelete"Small Town Pony Movement"
ReplyDelete^
great idea; and so simple too!
I absolutely love that bed especially that pillow with dash and scootaloo, somewhat makes me sleepy
ReplyDeleteThey might be giants in coming to my university soon
ReplyDeleteMAI BED!
ReplyDelete*steals, runs away*
Aw, nobody remembers when My Little Top Gear was on Top Gear's facebook page. And their blog. And their twitter. And in their magazine. But you know, that's fine.
ReplyDeleteAlso that's definitely a video for Halloween.
I would sleep on that bed in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteThat survey was VERY thorough...
ReplyDeleteHUUZAH! My haunting creation got onto EqD <3
ReplyDeleteThe New York Magazine article is hilarious. The author thinks this whole fandom is an elaborate troll. "Rarely breaking character" HA!
ReplyDeleteThat bedset is Amazing! Wooooo!
ReplyDeletethat bed man, WANT!
ReplyDeleteAbout the first POST! They might be giant Hosted an event in the Online game AQWorlds! and the creators of AQWorlds are Artix Entertainment. Ring a bell? They Made the Pony vs Pony game!
ReplyDeleteI Friggin LOVE they might be giants!
ReplyDelete:D Helinski meetup. Amusing misspelling there.
ReplyDeleteOh, Seth. You missed a 1 on the pony stuff competition., November 4th was yesterday!
ReplyDeleteThey Might Be Giants does do kid's stuff. So I suppose it's not too suprising.
ReplyDeleteThe John Hopkins articles is one of the most positive I've seen so far. It's nice.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting article in the JHU Newsletter?! Boy, things have sure changed since I graduated.
ReplyDeleteWOO! This is a LONG SURVEY!
ReplyDeleteBut Anything to help out for a brony study. :)
Love and tolerate. <3
The survey was thorough and I'm looking forward to the results. A suggestion for the future is to make the box around the radio button clickable too. It gets a bit fiddly sometimes clicking so many little dots ;D
ReplyDeleteFail article is fail
ReplyDeleteThe NYmag article is....yeah, it sucks, and whoever wrote it should feel like a big dumb meanie for writing it
ReplyDeleteThat is the BEST ARTICLE EVER. I'm bookmarking it to show to people I try to convert in the future. John Hopkins University newsguys, or whoever wrote that, you have my utmost thanks, whatever that word means.
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange coincidence. They Might Be Giants posts pony stuff, and I'm going to their concert today after a small brony get-together.
ReplyDeleteIT IS A SIGN!
Season Two version = Her scrunching up her face, then grinding her teeth, then puffing up her cheeks, looking right to left then having wide eyes and calming down.
ReplyDelete"Super-advanced trolling" - oh god, that had me laughing so loud. Sorry dude, we're real fans, who really enjoy it and who really love and tolerate the shit out of you. You will not see a day where suddenly we all yell "Gotcha!" and go back to the way things were before ponies.
ReplyDeleteI took part in the survey.
ReplyDeleteDon't think I have the guts to put up a Celestia poster in my window. …or I'm just lazy. (Also my college dorm has a rule about putting up stuff on our window. ..Not that it stopped anypony else this last halloween.)
Tell ya what, If I see another poster in someone's window around here, I'll do it.
Ahaha, Scout Law almost verbatim in the survey.
ReplyDeleteI thought the "New York Magazine" post was satirical in nature and then I read the comments.
ReplyDeleteAnd people say journalistic integrity is dead.
I participated in the survey, but it seems like it could have been researched a bit better. One of the questions was something along the lines of "this show was created by LAURA Faust, I have to watch it! agree/disagree?"
ReplyDeleteThe people who made the survey don't know the correct name of the person who began the phenomenon they are researching!
wow, 2 PhD's are doing this study, not students?
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't even make it through the first sentence of the New York Magazine thingy before facepalming.
ReplyDeleteThat bed makes me almost wish I didn't have a queen.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to find my article here this morning, thank you it's an honor.
ReplyDeleteThe bed is owned by a pegasister not a brony
ReplyDelete@banannagram
ReplyDeleteThanks for the nice comment. I worked hard on this article just for that reason.
@Party Favors
ReplyDeleteThank you, that's nice to hear.
Wow. New York Magazine ultra fails on this one. Lol, why even post these? One commenter put it best, and I want to share their contribution:
ReplyDelete"Apparently, this is still a world where a supposedly legitimate publication can and will use articles wherein necessary research is replaced with bias, and journalistic integrity replaced with the desire to write about a buzz-worthy subject without actually attempting to portray it accurately. In a time when such a large portion of the country's population are unable to find openings for jobs they're more than qualified for, it's surprising, perhaps even a little sickening, to see that hacks too lazy to familiarize themselves with their subjects are still employed as writers."
Somebody give this man his Pulitzer. Bronies don't have to fight to justify their existence anymore; we're pretty well established, pretty well recognized as a legitimate entity that follows a critically acclaimed show, and people who try to insinuate otherwise will only come out looking absolutely foolish.
Oh, this would've been funny maybe, oh I dunno, last February when the fandom was smaller and the idea of MLP:FiM striking a broad audience that includes adult males sounds ridiculous, even to the people in the fandom. But things have changed.
Big time.
Enjoy your fail, New York Magazine. Keep up the 'journalists are all pompous hacks' image crippling your industry. You'll come to find at this rate Twilight Sparkle will become this generation's Walter Kronkite if this trend of wavering 'journalism' continues.
Ha, the small town pony thing reminds me of the
ReplyDeleteway Mulder on the X-files would contact "Deep Throat"
when he needed information.
The ponies are out there!
Lol, nice try unimportant New York based magazine article. Your bias is showing through. Shoot, I don't think you really even know half of what you claim to, or have even given the show, or bronies, a chance.
ReplyDeleteyou can find all the hearts for brony heart month
ReplyDeletehttp://www.ponychan.net/chan/pic/res/516882.html
Awesome idea, I never had thought about posting pony pictures in my school before... not sure why I wouldn't, so I will!
ReplyDeleteTotally doing the Facebook profile pic event!
ReplyDeleteI want that Rarity pillow!!
ReplyDeleteWHAT'S THE SOURCE FOR THAT RARITY PICTURE?
ReplyDeletea Tennessee group and it's across the state from me in another time zone. Way past Knoxville... Why can't there be a Fentress county or Upper Cumberland group having a meeting I can attend? i.e. not on a saturday, maybe sunday or monday
ReplyDeleteTo the pegasister who's bed set is presented in the picture above....., I have two things to ask/say: 1. Awesome Death Note poster! and 2. Who made those awesome pony pillows?! ( I've been looking at some sites, but none of them seem to match up to the way your pillows were made! I can understand if you don't want to tell, but could you least tell us if you made it, or if a company made it? )
ReplyDeleteOH MAI GOD theres a va beach brony meetup!!! im going to try my hardest to frickin go there
ReplyDeleteAs a resident of the Canterlot site, I'mma go ahead and say it's one of the best community forums and RP sites a brony could ask for! ^^;
ReplyDeleteI totally recommend 'em, and think that there's gotta be a few ponies in the audience tonight who'd love to give themselves a chance to win one of those fabulous prizes AS WELL as participate in some awesome quality RP.
Drop on by an' give it a chance...you may even like 'em! <3
