Amtrak References Ponies
Amtrak's twitter account recently made a direct refrence to ponies. How long before we have train cars with peagsi wings or unicorn horns, streaking through the countryside in a rainbow blur? Probably infinity. Check it out here.
Voltaire Mentions Ponies
I have no idea who this is, but Seth put it in the roundup folder, so here I go. I MEAN I'M A REBEL AND I DO WHAT I WANT NO MATTER HOW MANY WHIPS YOU THREATEN ME WITH

Wall Street Journal Mentions Ponies Again
"Mr. Subhani is one of the "bronies," a community of teenage and adult men across the country who are fans of the revived "My Little Pony" animated TV show, which is geared toward young girls. Some of the men say they got hooked on the high-quality animation; others felt they identified with the four-legged stars, which flaunt luxurious, ponytail-like manes."

VastaKustutaThe Amtrak link is wrong.
VastaKustutaI don't get the Amtrak one, to be honest.
VastaKustutaNew episode is gonna be awesome!
VastaKustutaAt least let her get one nightly roundup...
VastaKustutaShe IS best pony, after all.
VastaKustutaTHERE ARE FEMALE BRONIES WSJ!
VastaKustutaWSJ, Y U NO TIME?
PK is awesome.
VastaKustutaAnd I must get those Pinkie cupcakes! I hope they taste like rainbows! :3
>e-mail EQD -again- about brony liveshow on Ustream tomorrow
VastaKustuta>still not in Nightly Roundup
*angry fist shake*
...ah well, BroNYcon tomorrow. I suppose that's why. *shrug*
Uh, PK, you spelled "precious" wrong.
VastaKustutaThose awards are definitely going to mlp. HOOVES DOWN gonna win best song! /) (\
VastaKustutaThese roundups are getting earlier...
VastaKustutaBy the way, is pinkie going to say goodnight???
VastaKustuta:(
No Drawfriend, no goodnight message from Pinkie Pie... This just doesn't feel like the night before a new episode. ;P
VastaKustutaNo love for Tara Strong, I see
VastaKustutaI may have to shop at a Wal-Mart just to get those Pinkie Pie cupcakes. I'll take a cupcake.
VastaKustutaAND THEN EAT IT.
Anyway, a generally interesting roundup. The news coverage bit was amusing. (Pony-tail like manes, huh? Tell me, do they pay you to be as obvious as possible with your puns?) and I liked seeing the nominations, though how Tara Strong missed being nominated I have no freaking clue. (I mean, come on, her performance in Lesson Zero? TOP. NOTCH.)

VastaKustutaPlymouth college is best college.
VastaKustuta@jodyjm13
VastaKustutaNow that you mentioned it, I was curious about the lack of a Pinkie message. I checked the artist's dA and apparently their tablet laptop is in for repairs.
Hopefully we'll get a new one next week once it is fixed.
I think ponies should win voice acting and music.
VastaKustutaLove roundups from PK. Also you spelled Fleur's name wrong. Fleur de Lis, not Fluer de Lis. Small typo though, no big deal. Did I mention that I welcome our new PK overlord. Ignore me, I'll be rambling, it's 1:15 here and I'm tired. BUT NO I HAVE SACRIFICED ALL FORMS OF SLEEP FOR PONIES. I CAN ONLY EAT WHILE WATCHING PONIES AND SPAMMING EQD WITH 562 PAGE VIEWS FROM MYSELF ALONE ALL DAY. Oh, who am I kidding. Everyone knows that I just leave the page up all day and refresh every two minutes. Besides, I'm not that bad yet. Keyword being yet.
VastaKustutaI think you posted the wrong Amtrak link. That image doesn't have any connection with MLP.
VastaKustutathat link for the pic is broken. It didn't make ponies real at all D: still a good pic tho
VastaKustuta@Pixel Coder
VastaKustutaTo be fair of the WSJ, this is just an "In the Classroom Edition" meaning it's being seen by Middle School Kids. The one that was run on the front page of their Nov 4th edition (My Dad read it!) was more inclusive
Yup, ponies should win all of those awards. Even the duplicates. And how do I change the theme for the university website?
VastaKustutaAlso, I am surprised Cereal has not given us a decidedly less Trixie-centric banner. Perhaps that wet mane Rarity one for example?
Whats up with that Amtrak link?
VastaKustutao_o
Oh my goddess the Pinkie Cupcakes are headless bombers from Serious Sam. But why are they screaming about how good the cupcakes are? They should be trying end Sams life with two bombs glued to their hands.
VastaKustutaAlso your not much of a Rebel PK. Now Phoe, she's a rebel.
Finally got an image for myself. Testing it out to see if it will post, since I'm on a mobile device. I signed out and signed back in, so it should be okay.
VastaKustutaYay it worked! Sorry for spamming the page with comments.
VastaKustutaomg...im seriously about to go to walmart and buy some of those cupcakes!! hey, that'd be the perfect snack while watching the new episode tomorrow! omg cant wait, it's been 3 long, pony-less weeks!!
VastaKustutaYou don't know who Voltaire is?!
VastaKustutaRage mode ACTIVATED!
I managed to find the correct Amtrak tweet. I knew it would be either 10 seconds flat or 20% cooler.
VastaKustuta@jodyjm13
VastaKustuta...There really was no Drawfriend today, was there? o_O
Here I am, having just gotten on EqD with my bowl of applesauce and some spare time on my hands, thinking that I might actually be able to sneak a few posts in as it has become far too infrequent of a habit of mine as-of-late. And then there's no Drawfriend. Ah well, perhaps this is the universe's way of telling me I should go to bed at a decent hour for once...
Well, in other news I will admit I was happily amazed by the sight of those Pinkie Pie cupcakes (I have to go look for those now at my local Wal-Mart, though Goddess knows I don't need the calories or carbs after the holidays XP), and if Tabitha St. Germaine doesn't win that ToonZone award for Best Voice Actress I will be seriously disappointed with the world.

VastaKustutaPinkie Pie Cupcakes? Well, it's better than Rainbow Cupcakes...
VastaKustutamy eyes exploded when i saw the pinkie cupcakes at walmart
VastaKustutamy super walmart better hav em or i wont consider it 'super' anymore
My reaction when seeing the cupcakes. AAAAAAAAAA
VastaKustutaRead poster's comments about cupcakes "AAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
The "Amtrak" link is wrong (It's not Amtrak). The comic it leads to is sort of funny (http://i.imgur.com/40NKo.png), but the comment below is sort of tasteless.
VastaKustutaCool NMM statue! And amazing news mentions! Pretty cool cupcakes! AWESOME AWARDS! When do we get Daytime Grammy Award nominations announced? I'd like to know if any of Daniel Ingram's songs got nominated, or if this show can finally snag any nominations. (Last year Transformers: Prime got a whole ton of nominations when Friendship is Magic got none!)
And why is "The Pony Pokey" nominated? "At the Gala" and "Find a Pet", I can understand, but why not a longer, more involved song, like the CMC theme song or "Becoming Popular"?
VastaKustutaI like how Philippinish(?) currency is "PHP"
VastaKustutaAlso, that Voltaire thing was directly referencing a PMV that showed up on EqD earlier this week. Cyclical news!
VastaKustuta@Tzeentch
VastaKustutaIt's Philippine currency. But I'll let it slide. xD
sees cupcakes
VastaKustuta"MOM I WANNA GO TO AMERICA!!!"
mom"why?"
"CUZ PONY CUPCAKES!!"
No Drawfriend today...
VastaKustutaFUCKIN' INEFFICIENT AUTHORS.
Winter Wrap Up not nominated for Best Song?!
VastaKustutaTHIS IS THE WORSE! POSSIBLE! THING! TO HAPPEN!!!
Yes!! Voltaire!!!
VastaKustutaHow do you NOT know who that is? D:
@thomas
VastaKustutaWinter Wrap Up was a 2010 MLP song, making it ineligible as an entry.
*winces, uncovers ear* Geez, PK, what are you screaming abou--
VastaKustuta*sees "Pinkie Pie Cupcakes"* ...oh.
*****AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!*****
Is pony cupcakes real or did someone make their own, box them and put them on top of other cupcakes and take a picture?
VastaKustutaHoly fuck, Voltaire!
VastaKustutaNow quick! Someone make a sad pegasus PMV to Feathery Wings!
Wrong link for Amtrak references ponies maybe? Not complaining tho; funny comics are funny.
VastaKustuta@Mike As someone above said, here's the link to the tweet. (I probably should have checked to see if someone else had found it before I started searching for it)
VastaKustuta@Eddmario Thanks!
VastaKustutaAnd awwww yeeaahh my favourite band/musician talkin' bout ponies, my day is starting right!
and I work at Wal Mart, BOOM, DISCOUNT BITCHES
VastaKustutaHere's my short analysis for MLP:FiM to win any of those awards, compared to what the other nominees are:
VastaKustuta- Best Series: Possible. Phineas and Ferb, and The Regular Show seem powerful candidates for what I hear around the sites I visit, but the popularity of MLP:FiM might incline the balance to the show's favor.
- Best Actor: Not likely. I love John de Lancie, but he's competing against other great VA's like John DiMaggio and Seth McFarlane. Besides, he was only on two episodes, and even though he left quite an impact I don't see this happening.
- Best Actress: Not likely. My reasoning behind this is that there's too many VA's from MLP in this cattegory, which might cause the vote to spread out and go for nobody.
- Best Voice Acting Ensemble: Possible. Unlike the others, I see this happening mostly because it's awarding the entire cast, not just one actor in particular. And the MLP ensemble is staggeringly great.
- Best Director: Possible. Not only Jayson Thiessen seems like the strongest name on that list, he also is one of the responsible people behind making MLP something so big as it is today. The change he gave to the series should be taken into consideration.
- Best Art Direction: Not likely. From personal experience I think MLP has an art direction good enough to make you forget it's a show based on a toy line, but in the end it all depends on how artistic it looks. And frankly, it's more functional design than artistic.
- Best Animation: Possible. Taking into account the things the crew does with flash, I'm pretty sure they will award the creativity they showcase with such limited media.
- Best Writing: Not likely. Yes, yes, I know the writing is great guys, but there we have Batman the Brave and the Bold. If MLP wins over Batman (again) it will be a frigging miracle.
- Best Character Design: Possible. Yes, since the design of MLP is quite ingenius, as so create a set of characters that look like equines but have the array of emotions of an anime girl.
- Best Song: Possible. I mean, this might be the only cattegory where I think it's really likely to win. Hands down, no discussion there.
- Best Music: Not likely. I love the compositions and all the Jimmy Hart versions of well known themes, but when you get down to it some of the most original themes are not that much inspired. Objectively speaking of course, as I love the music work in this series.
Wow, uhm...Sorry for the wall of text guys ^_^;
TL;DR: I can see MLP at least getting three awards, even if they are just technical.
Holy f**kamoley! A pony con here in the Philippines the day AFTER I leave for my tourism class cruise around Asia!?! Yeah I'm going on a weeklong cruise but I'd rather got to the pony con. Why is it just one day, the day I'm not here? And what the hay is wrong with me? Of all the worst things that could possibly happen this is... The. Worst. Possible. Thing!
VastaKustutaF yeah Dewdrop Dazzle.
VastaKustutaEveryone needs to love Dewdrop Dazzle even if she's a toy only character.
And about her recolourness, imagine her with a new mane.
...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...
VastaKustutaIs it common knowledge amongst bronies that there are female bronies, too? (I don't think anyone uses 'pegasisters' very much any more). I feel like everyone thinks that all the MLP fans are older males. Still female, guys.
VastaKustuta@Gato
VastaKustutaDid you manage to blow up Serious Sam?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpY-cfTqzsI
Nevermind, operation Mental success!
@Gwriterk
VastaKustutaYou know that is true, you don't hear much about the female fans. They exist I know five, all are seventeen and up. I think it's just with the old thing of it being creepy a guy watches a little kids show
Wait, Tara Strong didn't get nominated but the other four did?
VastaKustutaWHAT THE SHIT
Is it just me, or is the link to the Amtrak tweet link very very wrong?
VastaKustuta@scienceandponies They're real, I took the photo (and bought some!). It's just the standard cake decorating ring party favor they stick on most of the cupcakes - just Pinkie Pie style!
VastaKustutaThere were several 6 packs and a 12 pack too. I'll have to ask the bakery associates if they have access to any other MLP decorations.
@Joe
VastaKustutaShit happens.^^
Well, it´s not that horrible. There´s always next year. With lots and lots of MLP episodes. :D
>Amtrak link
VastaKustutaI think you've been trolled, PK
VOLTAIRE MENTIONED PONIES?! The guys who did the Brains song and the theme to Billy and Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure?! YES!
VastaKustutanot only did Voltaire reply when i sent him a link to that video
VastaKustutahe also shared it on his pages
and my pic of it made it into a nightly roundup :D
fangasm complete
Seriously? That's the best webtoon they found to represent MLP:FIM in that award?
VastaKustutaEven though I love ponies, I had to go with Sym-Bionic Titan for Best TV Series on the Toonzone Awards. WHY DID IT HAVE TO GET CANCELLED!?!?!?
VastaKustuta@James Rye Tara Strong's not nominated because she's in the same category already for Illana from Sym-Bionic Titan. She couldn't be nominated twice.
VastaKustutaYou forgot to mention the Team Fortress 2 cartoon "Team Fortress 2: Sandviches!" is up for a nomination, considering that it's using the a Heavy-ied version of the song "Cupcakes".
VastaKustutaWhen I saw Voltaire, I was thinking that someone found a line where the French enlightenment writer talked about ponies. Then I realized it was a different Voltaire.
VastaKustutaVoltaire- my favorite song of his is When I'm Evil
VastaKustutaIf you think My Little Pony won't win many awards simply because it has -so many entries-, look at the movie Chicago. Remember how many awards THAT won? They played All That Jazz every time they announced Chicago as the winner. I swear to god, by the end of the night, I was SO sick of that song.
VastaKustutaYou don't know who Volatire is?
VastaKustutaYOU'RE MISSING OUT ON LIFE
Voltaire = Best person. Ever.
That is not a picture of AmTrak mentioning ponies, PK. >.<
VastaKustutaAmtrak link is wrong link.
VastaKustutaI still laughed, though.
Those cupcakes....
VastaKustuta...I must have them
At first I was, Ooo Pinkie Pie cupcakes! Then I was all... thank god they're not made from real Pinkie Pie... then I thought, thank god they don't have Rainbow Dash on them!!!
VastaKustutaIf Ashleigh Ball wins it will prove RD is best pony!
VastaKustutaAlso why is Winter Wrap Up NOT nominated?!
OH MY GOD, VOLTAIRE!! I'm a huge fan of his! He's a goth rock musician who mostly does parodies. To not know who he is, it's a crime!
VastaKustutaI really hope John de Lancie wins for Best Voice Actor. He deserves it!
FiM deserved some Golden Globe and Annie noms.
VastaKustutaAnd I can't wait for The Last Roundup!
