• Nightly Roundup #148

    by

    I'll be honest, I actually hated Rarity during the pilots, and well into season one.  I think out of the entire mane cast (aside from Twilight) she has grown the most in characterization.  This has completely warped my initial stigma.   Congrats Rarity on BEST PONY status! (On Sundays at least). 

    Anyway have some news!

    More Bronycon Guests of Honor, including EQD's INTERNATIONAL SUPER SPY Tekaramity / Singing Talent Needed!

    Have some copy paste from Purple Tinker:

    BroNYCon just keeps snowballing! In addition to headliners ANDREA LIBMAN, (Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy), NICOLE OLIVER (Princess Celestia, Cheerilee) and JOHN JOSECO, plus pre-announced guests PixelKitties, NeighSlayer, Apple Cider & Chef Sandy, the ever-growing pony convention is pleased to announce the following  additional special appearances:
    • Tekaramity of Equestria Daily!
    • Cabal, founder of RainbowDash.net!
    • Well-known pony musicians Tarby ("Something Broke: The Continuing Tale Of Pinkie Pie and Ponycide", etc.) and ChainAlgorithm (MLP Online soundtrack, etc.)

    A complete listing of BroNYCon appearances can be seen here.

    And in other news....

    Someone is seeking the VOCAL PROCESSING UNITS of  various singers in the fandom.  Check out the copypaste below:


    Hiya Everypony!
         I'm looking for some talented singers who will be attending BroNYcon January. I am going to be organizing an event titled "An Ode to Daniel Ingram", since he's one of the guests of honor at the convention. My plan is to re-create all of the 'major' pony songs with live signing. What I need is nine females with singing voices that sound similar to the Mane Six and the Cutie Mark Crusaders. In addition, the finale will of course be "At the Gala", so I'm going to need a plethora of males to sing backup (figuring three to six, but that number is up for debate). If you're interested, please send an E-Mail to "" with the subject line "Daniel Ingram Audition [Pony Name]" (if you're auditioning for a male part, instead of pony name just put "backup singer") containing either a link to a YouTube video of your audition, or a .mp3. Auditions can be anything that you feel portrays your abilities, but singing would be preferable.

    MLP Activity Book from Belgium




    Yep! Another one. It seems like every country gets their own version or something. Each one sells for around 6 Euros, and is a wopping 32 pages of pony goodness.  This particular book showed up at a store called Loblaws in Quebec.

    Ashleigh Ball Vocal Chord Injury

    I didn't really want to send a swarm over, but enough people have sent this that I think it needs to be reported on. Ashleigh Ball (Applejack and Rainbow Dash) has unfortunately injured her vocal Chords. The earliest tweet about this was back on the 3rd of November. Originally, it sounded like a simple, one day of rest would heal them. A day later however, a second tweet went out letting everyone know that she would need a bit more recovery time than was originally planned.

    Now before you go over there freaking out and swarming her facebook/twitter pages, please realize that she does need rest. An army of stressed out pony fans might not be the best thing for her. Give her your support, but please do not spam her pages!

    My Little Pony: Fun Case



    Another random merch item has popped up on store shelves. Unforunately, the person that bought it is giving it out as a gift and can't open it, but from the sounds of it, there are a few coloring books, posters, stickers, and crayons inside.

    For those that want your own, it was actually found at a grocery outlet in Oregon. No specifics given there either!

    Blizzcon Pony Invasion

    Apparently Blizzcon had a pretty good amount of pony! Check out the video below for it.




    Love and Tolerance "PMV"

    I'm not really sure if this can be considered a PMV. It's more of a speech about tolerance from Charlie Chaplin back in 1940. It's pretty inspirational though! Check it out here.

    Tuscon Brony Meetup

    A new meetup recently formed in Arizona, dedicated to those outside of the Phoenix area.  It's a bit smaller than the other one, but this is definitely a good start.  And Look! Females! The ratio here is almost equal!

      Lots of good news tonight.

      Most largest of interest? Starscream and Rainbow Dash's Death Battle explained Q's&A's.

      Other than that my thoughts of Rarity still haven't changed and she is my least favorite character of the show. I don't hate her, she just has a personality that rubs 'this being' the wrong way.

      Rubbing the wrong way as in like you would do to cat before they'd claw your eyes out.

      Seems like a pretty good-sized Nightly Roundup tonight. There's so much text I thought it was a Phoe edition. :O

      I think you already told us about how you weren't too fond of Rarity at first. Or maybe that was someone else. lol Rarity can have best pony status, but only for this weekend. ;)

      Yay for more activity books. Though I haven't bought one yet, heh. The llama (think that's what it is lawl) seems to be enjoying it... I think... I'll just pretend he is. <3

      Aww, that Derpy animation is cute. Indeed, there's a lot of animators around. With technology and software where it is, it's faster and easier than ever to animate. So more people are trying their hands at it. Once you practice a bit and understand it, it becomes fun. Though still a little time-consuming. lol

      *noms on Fluttershy's head on the cake* Oops...

      In that Chosen Ones comic, I notice someone kinda hard to see wearing what looks to be a Trixie shirt that looks slightly like you, Seth. :P

      I'm sorry to hear Ashleigh injured her vocal chords. That must be rather disheartening. I don't use Twitter and FB really these days, so I'm lost on the details on how it happened. I know if you're a very busy VA though, it can happen sometimes. I agree, please don't start loosing it and spam her. She needs to simply take it easy for now. I wish her a good recovery.

      Hmm, the fun case could be... fun. lol Wonder how much it goes for. If not too much, and it can be found, might be worth picking up to check it out.

      Those pony cosplayers looked like they had a blast at Blizzcon. I would have loved to go. Also, editing is for baby griffins!

      I remember that Charlie Chaplin speech. Its a classic and a great speech no doubt. Truly strong and moving it is.

      Wow. That Bronies Sociological chart is pretty in-depth and large. Certainly spent some time thinking this through. lol Out of those three sub-groups, I know most people would say they fit in the "Moderate" category. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't think a fair number of Bronies also fit in the other two as well. Especially the "Unhappy" category. Judging by some of my own observations anyway.

      Hah, Sisterhooves Social poster. Cool.

      Rainbow Dash's vocal chords? O_O


      As far as Rarity is concerned, she has generally been the least interesting character for me and the one most in need of some development (although I've always loved her haircut). Episodes like the most recent one have gone a long way towards correcting this problem and I find her much more appealing now. I had a similar thing happen with Pinkie Pie through season one.

      A man ahead of his time, that Charlie Chaplin. Unfortunately an inspiring speech does nothing if it does not help us to see the nature of the problem: if we act on inspiration alone, in the absence of knowledge, we merely stumble in the dark, and all our effort is for naught.

      I think this speech touches on the nature of the problem Charlie Chaplin saw:

      The chart was fun to look at, but super biased and consistently spelled brony (sing.) as bronie. You could see the authors personal views on things like favorite character and show traits. All in all, kind of grated on me, but good to see the effort out there.

      So ITalktoSnakes dressed up as Pinkie Pie, eh? [She appeared in the KnowYourMeme video, and convinced fellow internet-celeb singer Nerimon to join the herd, so she's been an active MLP fan of late ...

      First off, I wish Ashleigh a speedy recovery. She seems to be doing a lot of voice work, so this sort of thing is bound to happen, but I hope she can bounce back.

      And secondly, YE GODS, I hear you about Rarity. Not so much that I hated her, just that I normally don't care for characters like her. But after that Season 1 string of episodes that featured or at least had to do with her (Suited for Success, A Dog & Pony Show, Green Is Not Your Color), she proved to be AMAZING XD

    40. AJNovember 6, 2011 at 5:45 AM

      I saw "Suited for Success" fairly early in my introductory run of pony episodes, so I've actually been quite fond of Rarity all along. Admittedly, some thanks can probably go to Eva Gabor for making the kind-hearted, girly socialite such a lovable character in my childhood through Green Acres and The Rescuers, so I never saw Rarity in a negative light... Just a edgier version for comedic purposes and a modern update. Plus, I tend to like flaws in fictional characters.

      Pinkie Pie is the one that needed to grow on me. I never disliked her, but it was easy to dismiss her as artificially silly and cute. Gradually, however, the gags involving her landed with me a bit more and Party of One was just unsettling enough to make her a really interesting character.

      Now there's no member of the mane six that I wouldn't be heartbroken to see leave the show.

      My best wishes to Ashleigh Ball for a speedy and full recovery! If you're worried about spamming her accounts (or anyone else's under similar circumstances) one option might be to dedicate a thread here for fans to respond with well wishes with the promise of forwarding the link directly to her. It doesn't flood her accounts and yet let gives an outlet for the fans as well.

      But Ball's busted voice shouldn't matter, because season two was made last year and the episodes have been collecting dust in The Hub (for Faust knows how long!), right?
      RIGHT?!

      If not, my cynical nature would like me to believe that this was planned, but I wish for her to feel better/good regardless.

    47. FirleycatNovember 6, 2011 at 6:34 AM

      I didn't like Rarity either when I first saw her, being male I have an instant dislike of any character interested in fashion. I did start to like her when she was with the sea serpent. It was a scene so weird that I just had to love it. Like A lot of people, I really fell in love with her during Suited For Success. Fashion characters are often some of the most one dimentional characters in any show, not only girls shows, that it amazed me that there was so much depth to her character. It also doesn't hurt that the Art Of The Dress song is one of two things that I can get some pony hating friends of mine to admit is awesome (The other being the sonic rainboom).

      I'm sorry to hear about Ashleigh Ball's voice but that is one risks of being a voice actor. They are always in danger of doing serious damage to their voices, the fact that she is also the lead singer in a band increases that risk. I really hope she recovers soon.

      I really wish Ashleigh Ball a quick recovery. I know she's not recording more of Dashie/AJ since Season 2 is all down and finished in the VA department, but it'll suck if she has to be replaced. Hopefully, things won't have to escalate to that severity. I will stay away from her pages and give my silent support from here.

      My oppion for rarity has actually gotten a lot worse through what I've seen of her in season 2.

      It may have been a plot device but her lack of generosity (which is something AJ even lampshaded) at least till near the end of the episode was disheartening.

      I suppose one COULD say it was perfectly in-character, but honestly I think it's less in-character than AJ's lies...

      First rarity overworks herself by being TOO generous, and then gets into a fight with her sister because she's not generous enough?!

      Maybe someone could make a "Get Well, Ms. Bell" webpage, where bronies could send their "get well soon" wishes. That way, people could post their wishes in a page separate from Ashleigh Bell's own pages, and so Ashleigh herself won't get swamped.

      Regarding the "Brony Sociological Analysis," in the brony subgroups, where is the "I just like it because it is good" group? I don't fall into any of the three categories:
      Hipster (enjoy it for the irony? Who does that?)
      Unhappy People (People who watch it because their ponies is the only good thing in their life)
      Moderates (people who hated the show, but then got hooked)

      Establish a new group: The Genuine Brony (People who never hated it when they heard of it, watched it, and then loved it)

      That fun case: Also seen at Tukwila and Federal Way Costco. (all locations Washington) as well as, Federal Way Super-Walmart Federal Way Wal-mart (there's one of each in town) Federal Way Grocery Outlet, Burien Grocery Outlet and a couple other locations I cannot remember off the top of my head. i would also divulge the contents, but my mother has explicitly banned me from buying ponies after I bought one of those coloring books.

      @Mattwo

      You're over-thinking things. This wasn't an episode about Rarity displaying a lack of generosity. Her work is her life and her passion, and this was an episode about Rarity finding her sister annoying and paying for it. It highlights one of her flaws, a disgust of dirt, for the purposes of driving the plot, and it worked beautifully, IMO.

      Also found in Salem, Oregon. :3

      Rarity is truly the HBIC. When I first watched the show, I was worried that they would pigeonhole her into the ~shallow fashionista/"I love shopping!" type of character. My concern was misplaced though because Rarity ended up getting the best storylines and imo, is the most complex of the mane 6.

      I love that she's more traditionally feminine and that she doesn't NEED to be a tomboy to do amazing things (such a tired ass trope; MLP's strength is that it's able to depict a spectrum of strong female characters). She's devoted to her art and has incredible strength of character. Generosity doesn't mean anything without sacrifice and Rarity is always willing to give up something important to her in order to help a friend. One of my favorite Rarity moments is when she volunteers to be the guinea pig for Twilight's wings spell --the spell could have gone badly, but Rarity doesn't care because she wants to be able to support Rainbow Dash. One of my favorite eps is Green is Not Your Color because I love that despite Rarity's (justified) feelings of jealousy, she risks humiliation to stand up for her best friend.

      As far as I know Quebec lies in Canada, not in Belgium.

      I know Belgium is one of the smallest countries in the world but damn, Seth. It's the second time you've mistaken Belgium with other Countries

      Oh and that sociological chart: DISLIKE. I'm not a G1-G3 fan either, but I think it's funny that anyone in this fandom would accuse any other shows of being feminine, immature, and unintelligent. Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones...

      LOL! The book is Belgian, printed in Belgium, undoubtedly available in Belgium, and because someone imported it, also available in Quebec, Canada. 8^) I was probably too long-winded in description I sent in to EqD, so they made their own summary and some clarity got lost in the process.

      @ Red Sandvich: good deals this week at Loblaws too! 500g of cheese for $4.99, 468g of cookie dough for $1.99 and 5 lb of clemantine for $3.99. All the more reason to go. X^D

      @ John41: No worries. 8^) See? Not your fault, several people were confused.

      That song is... interesting. However, it seems out of place since Pinkie's character development stage has already been done (to an extent). I don't think we need to know that she likes smiling.

      Rainbow Dash was my least favorite for a long time. She's still at the bottom. Sorry, but she can be quite the jerk. Rarity is pretty uppity, but there tends to be no malice... usually.

      That's the wonderful thing about opinions, though. Everypony's got one!

      Thoughts and prayers going out to Ashleigh for a restful speedy recovery. Seeing the voice actress charts from last month, she has done quite a bit of VA for a large variety of shows, Even the voice of Plum on Strawberry Shortcake, which sounds exactly identical to Rainbow Dash! Making SS 20% more cooler. She is an amazing VA, Get well soon!
