    The Motley Fool on Pony Toys and Our Demographic

    A marketing/Money website recently did a short radio that included a segment about Bronies.  It's not a huge look into any spectacular, but it's kind of funny to hear the poor guy's website getting raided every time he posts about MLP and equates it to little girls.  Check it out here!

    Bronystock

    Copy Paste:
    Hello Bronies! Do you love music? Do you love getting together with other bronies? live to far away or can't afford to travel to NY?
    Well, I'm officially introducing BronyStock: A brony convention with live musical performances and appearances by some of the fandom's biggest names.
    I will be releasing names of guests one by one, leading up to the event. There will be things that everypony can enjoy such as: artists, speakers, appearances, music (well obviously), episode watching, custom figures, and plenty more!
    So nows the part where I ask for your help: Whilst we already have the venue set up and plenty of other boring logistical things in the process of being finalized, I want to hear what you ponies want to see at BronyStock whether it be your favorite musician, your favorite artist, Q&A's, cupcakes with hot sauce, whatever! Also if you have any questions, concerns, requests to have a booth at BronyStock, suggestions, or just want to help out with the boring logistical stuff (which really helps me out), then shoot me an email!

    The event is currently set to take place during the summer, in beautiful northern California.

    4. That banner! The colors! My rods and cones; they hurt! (Nice job though. I approve.)
      I really want to eat that Pinkie Pie, and I don't know whether this should bother me or not.
      Well! Now that that's done I'm headed to bed. I love you EqD, you stay fabulous, as Rarity would desire. =D

    5. Grr, Blogger ate my comment first time. That header image is nice, so colourful and cheerful looking.

      Theres alot of Skyrim videos popping up it seems, I don't really mind

      *insert obligatory "arrow in the knee" joke of your choosing*

      That Pinkie Pastry is really nice looking. Nice short roundup today.

      ReplyDelete
    6. That's some nice work, Ponychan! Maybe Ponibooru'll do the same?

      And Pinkie Pastry that wasn't a pie? Woah...

      I have some swedes; Cornish Pony Pasty anyone?

    7. That Fluttershy shout was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

    10. That ponychan image is a bit scary. lol


      Dovashy, haha, that was pretty good. I need to learn the "yay" shout.


      OMG I want the Scootaloo beanie.

      ReplyDelete
    11. O_O Life-sized Plushie?! *drools* While it's not Rainbow Dash, if I had the $$$ I would definitely be bidding... so torn as to whether I want to see a life-sized RD plush like that! (due to cost) lol

      Also... wow... that ponychan banner... it's mind-warping... so many cute characters... I never thought I'd see such a huggable Discord! (top-right)

      Lastly, Kudos to the "Why you should watch FIM" Video, informative yet well-rounded! Sharing it with all my non-brony friends :)

    13. @Nightly Roundup #179

      Wow...this is like where's Waldo, but more like find everything that is iconic. Like the Halo character, Patrick Jane from "The Mentalist", Agent Smith from the "Matrix" movie serie, and etc. It's more like "Name Those Characters!"

    14. Dat Ponychan image. Dang. So much pony. Some of them are rather hilarious. 60's Spiderman. Nigel Thornberrry pony. Lawl. Ponychan is... well, Ponychan. 'Nuff said. :P Though I see Octavia... must be that imposter there. Will the real Octavia please stand up? Nah, you all better have a seat. Have a seat right over there. :P

      13 minutes of Rarity. So much white marshmallow. And I'm okay with this. :)

      Dovashy. <3

      Oooh, free art raffle. Too bad I don't use Twitter. Still, cool. Can't say no to free art! Well, I guess you -could-... lol

      Ooh ooh ooh! Another singing project. I love these. Can't wait for this one and when one is organized for The Pony Everypony should know. I still lack a good mic unfortunately. But if I somehow manage to acquire one, I may just have to join in.

      The Collective Intelligence presentation is rather interesting. Seems straight forward and intelligent. Though I noticed in the section about Derpy the eyes are labeled as an "animation error". I'm not too certain about that.

      The Why You Should Watch video was is pretty good. Lot's of good information for anyone new to the show and community. Very nice job with it.

      Wasn't that Motley Fool radio show clip already posted here the other night? I remember this from one of the other recent Nightly Roundups.

      The Triple P's. Pinkie Pie Pastries. It actually sounds like a pastry shop. <3

      Massive Fluttershy plush. Wonder how much that one will go for.

      I see the fine art of claiming Hugs? vectors without asking is still alive an well. You could AT LEAST apply some sort of color mod to it people.

    17. @ 7a60f57c-20be-11e1-b3a3-000bcdcb5194:
      UGH! Confound you! Now I may have to further add to my monumental creditcard debit! These tears alternate between joy and sadness... *hugs you anyway*

      Too... much... Awesome... Must... resist... must... AAAAAAAA! *faints*

      Considering the small plushies go for $1K+ I doubt I'll win (I hate to admit it, but there is a limit even for a RD plush), but I'm watching it... Thanks for the link!

      ReplyDelete
    18. Ashton - dunno, a different giant Fluttershy went for just $315 last week. Ebay sales vary pretty wildly, it seems like.

    19. Loved the Rarity video.

      'COULDN'T YOU JUST SIMPLY DIE?' is always great when taken out of context.

    20. Is that Ness in the Ponychan image? Ponies + EarthBound = AWESOME

      ReplyDelete
    21. I've already seen FiM-explanation videos that are WAY funnier and more informative, so that one just kinda fell into the void. Nothing wrong with it, aside from being boring, but no reason to watch that over Ballad of the Brony.

      ReplyDelete
    22. Oh. Wow. Look at that. It's everything ever.

    24. Woo! I was wondering if EqD would actually post that image or not; I'm glad they did! I hope this provides a bit of a peek into what Ponychan (well, specifically /oat/ and /chat/) are like!

      (I'm a little to the right of the center, if anypony's wondering).

      ReplyDelete
    29. Haha everypony get confused about this, but nope.

      And we didn't have anypony posting as Luna. "Luna (Wife of Celestia) actually got banned 2 days before we made this, not sure if related.

    30. It's funny seeing my OC on Equestria Daily. She just looks so out of place being drawn with color pencil... Can't wait till i get my tablet.

      ReplyDelete
    31. Wow... Ponychan actually pulled it off. RDN keeps talking of one, but I think the first one fell through and the second one is suffering a setback at the moment.

      ReplyDelete
    32. lol, whats the G3 pony doing in the ponychan image? xD

      ReplyDelete
    33. That Dr. Whooves plushie is kinda creepy.

    34. Hellspawn -> There's two, but I guess you're talking about the Pinkie Pie.
      That poster just likes to post as G3 pinkie :) He's very nice.

    40. Hey, thanks for sharing my presentation!

      To Octavia: The part about Derpy was taken straight from the MLP Wiki, as well as sourced back to original conversations with Jayson Thiessen and a MLP layout artist on Ponychan. Derpy came into being because of a layout change and an artist not wanting to fix the resulting error.

      See sources:
      http://www.ponychan.net/chan/arch/res/6286.html#6346
      http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:Derpy_source_Flashinthepan.png

      My main point about Derpy, however, was that it was something that stayed in the show due to fan response - which shows us the power of a fan community's collective intelligence against major media corporations.

    41. Glad to see the Ponychan pic is on EqD! :D Chika here, represented as Ruby from Pokemon Special.

    42. That giant Fluttershy is the best giant plushie yet.

      ReplyDelete
    43. @MonShy

      Oh, I know where you got them from. I was around at the time those took both took place. ;) But if you reread, it says that it was an "inside joke". Also. Jayson's also states it as being done by some cheeky animator.

    44. California? Darn. Still too far away.

    45. What city is the Norther California music thing in? I live in the San Francisco Bay area and my ability to attend this depends partly on what city it's in.
