Derpy pancakes are the best pancakes!
Have some news.
Jonathon Holmes from Destructiod's Kickstarter Pony Game
This is the most ridiculous quote ever.
My Little Pony: FIS/Regular Show/Adventure Time
My other thought is that the ever growing legions of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Regular Show, and Adventure Time fans would be more than willing to shell out cash up front for the promise of a game based on their respective, beloved cartoon program.If they really want to make cash fast, they should make all the games dating sims. There are hundreds of thousands of affluent young Americans who desperately want to see Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen have a lover's quarrel, leading to the inevitable make-up and make-out. There are even more who would do anything to attend an all night virtual cuddle party with the likes of Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle.
Furries -- it's like money in the bank.
But probably pretty true. You crazy pony lovers you. The article is here.
A G1-3 Fan's Take on G4
A pretty good article popped up from a guest blogger over at My Little Pony Collectors. Or at least an interesting quote:
It seemed ponies were everywhere – and how? Where was I when this happened? What was going on? What bizarre world did I venture into? There was a new show. What was the hub? Not just that, but the male fan base was huge! These questions needed to be answered. I felt lost, and suddenly the world loved ponies – I had put my head under a rock for a while and suddenly there were male pony fans everywhere… and they have a name: Bronies. “I was a Brony first!” I cried out to my collection, my dog cocking his head curiously at me, looking at me like I was crazy.
It surprised the entire Internet! You aren't alone.
Comprehensive Best Pony Survey from Reddit
A poll recently went down over on Reddit to determine the best pony in several categories. The creator set them all up in really colorful pie charts! You guys like pie charts right? Check them all out in the imagur album here!

ReplyDeleteWow teh Destructoid article is old... he even has a new one on ponies

I like the title-card Pancake.

ReplyDeleteToo bad it's in french; that short FIM documentary is actually pretty darn comprehensive.
ReplyDelete@Schneeraubtier Hmm checked the link and that's the article you linked to. This article is the one with the actual quote.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.destructoid.com/dream-games-we-d-like-to-see-kickstarted-into-reality-221408.phtml
Also, I just watched the French documentary on MLP and the brony community, and found it to be not only very well informed, but impartial to the whole ordeal, unlike a certain other three-letter news agency.
ReplyDeleteWell, I didn't get all the French, but it seemed like a KYM-type objective report, aimed at explaining the Brony phenomenon. I laughed when they said the show wasn't just for kids any more, then showed Fluttershy practicing her invasive chiropractics on that bear.
ReplyDeleteWahoo a college student questionare. Now if only I could find another brony at my school.
ReplyDeleteCollage survey...
ReplyDeleteCountry...
Equestria....
sup?
Why are there no NZ round ups... :(
ReplyDeletehey seth, if you ever actually read this can you post upcomming roumd ups plz?
I couldn't understand a lot of the documentary but from the voice and images shown it looked like they had actually gone in depth and about some of the history of it. Hopefully it gets translated!
ReplyDeleteAnd now i look dumb when i realise that these are upcomming. Tho still no nz roundups
ReplyDeleteRealm of the mad god guild? I must join!
ReplyDelete@duskwisp
ReplyDeleteThere was an NZ Meetup a while back. See Roundup 214.
Sorry you missed it - hopefully there will be another one soon. I'd love to go to another.
That guy was a Brony before it was cool.
ReplyDeleteI'm always interested to know what pre-G4 fans think of the current phenemenon.
For all the ribbing it gets, pre-G4 Ponies have a lot of fans. Like the Friendship is Witchcraft people.
The Derpy Pancake is nice, but I still feel she would be more at home on a muffin.
ReplyDeleteAnd props to the OLD "old school" brony. It takes a REAL man to date back to G1.
Respect. B^)
@goldensandslash15
ReplyDeleteplz tell.me if one is incmoming ;p email on.profile
Why is Pinkie Pie considered a background pony on that Reddit poll?
ReplyDeleteand the destructoid link is wrong, it links to a post about the Pony/Rhythm Heaven crossovers not the kickstarter fund.
@lagmobile
ReplyDeletepinkie is on most of the polls...
I just had a flashback memory fart. I was about to ask why there were no fic status updates at the bottom of the Roundup.
ReplyDeleteAhh, those were good times.....back in the gap between season one and two......
@lagmobile why is AppleJack pretty much always considered the last in the best pony "competitions" in polls? I mean, they usually turn into "x is best pony you are wrong"- can I even call them arguments?! Then it goes all "that's a funny way to spell x", and it get's all weird. The one thing that is almost always agreed upon is AppleJack getting last.
ReplyDelete*sniffle*
@duskwisp i've seen meetup right where I live posted in these before- NOBODY TELLS US THESE THINGS!
ReplyDeleteso pinkie pie and fluttershy are background characters now, eh reddit survey? no they are not.
ReplyDeletein fact, I wouldn't really consider ANY of those characters to be "background" characters, because, um, they have speaking roles? hellooooo? kind of an oxymoron, guys.
Okay, i've given it some thought. There are WAY TOO MANY upcoming meetups for Seth to post every one. Unless, of course, there would have to be some super long independant post- back on what I was saying. He only posts successful meetups, which, from what i've inferred from information given, have been sent to him.
ReplyDeleteBottom line: upcoming meetups in roundups are a nono. Successful meetups are working fine.
Hello, I'm french and I'm currently working on a subtitled version of the documentary. It should be done in about 1 hour for a rough version that will be available on youtube.
ReplyDeleteAuugh, where are all of the California meetups?
ReplyDeleteUniversities are just collections of colleges, so those work for the survey, right?
I can understand the vidéo because i'm french .
ReplyDeleteIt's talking about the buzz around the show and the community , why that show is not only for little girls etc ....
Classic , but it's not a troll Yay !
Ontario is spelled wrong, but that's okay. I don't live on that side of the country anyways.
ReplyDeleteFluttershy and Pinkie Pie listed as 'Background Ponies'
ReplyDeleteThat graph is invalid.
"virtual cuddle party with the likes of Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle"
ReplyDeleteCuddle party with Twilight Sparkle? Where do I sign up?! Haha. As long as it sticks to just cuddling. Who wouldn't want to cuddle that adorkable pony? :)
So much hate in the comments for that Destructiod article though. Heaven forbid people like things others don't. We can't have that now.
I didn't read the whole article on My Little Pony Collecting.com admittedly. But I know where you're coming from. I was a fan of the G1 series way way back when I was little. Long before Bronies or G4. lol
Can't understand the French documentary either... we need a translator stat! :P
Still love that Melbourn, Australia Meetup poster. Adorable. <3
*clicks documentary*
ReplyDeleteLentement! Lentement, s'il vous plaît! Non! Je ne comprends pas! NON!!!
$#!@, I still can't understand spoken French. =(
@Gravenstein Pinkie is just breaking evry wall, she is on most of the charts. And Fluttershy is so shy ~~~ :D. Just look at the Pinkie and Trixie chart :D
ReplyDelete@LightningBrony thank you! in advance :p
@lightningbrony
ReplyDeleteWell thank you, I was just about to ask if someone could do that!
Didn't even notice the Destructoid article.
ReplyDelete*sigh*
There IS a difference between bronies and furries, you know.

ReplyDeleteAnd here's the translation of the Documentary.
It's not perfect, but I'm tired, I'll edit this later.
I think you should at least understand the context with this.
I'll mail Sethisto too, in case he'd like to put this directly in the article.
@Bombedrumbum Yeah more love for dat AJ.
ReplyDeletesure il totally go to melbourne in AuSTRALIA
ReplyDelete(Ontario-->Melbourne) <--- Impossible!!
Alright! A French documentary at last! Finally something to show to those that didn't hear about Bronies because they don't understand English!
ReplyDeleteWasn't there already a Nightly Roundup #248?
ReplyDeleteThat documentary was well made and researched. I'm surprised.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I H=had pancakes for breakfeast today!
ReplyDeleteHmm that Derpy pancake looks soooo good *drools*
ReplyDelete@Bombedrumbum
ReplyDeleteI know, it's sad.. Why all the hate for AJ? I love AJ, though I agree RD is best pony, AJ is my second favorite and it's honestly close even then. If I had to rate them in order myself I would probably say RD, AJ, Twilight, then clump Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rarity all together cause I honestly can't decide.
I also noticed it seems that the CMC's don't get much love either. Sweetie Belle is my favorite, but I love Apple Bloom too. Sadly Scootaloo is my least favorite of the 3 but I love them all.
All in all, I think people need to give Applejack and Apple Bloom some more love, cause they seem to be getting the short end of the stick.
@Bombedrumbum Don't worry though, us AJ fans still have a lot of love for her no matter where she is placed :)
ReplyDeleteThat Jonathan Holmes comment is really ridiculous. It's funny how the concept of a furry is thrown to everyone who has a sexual deviation and attraction to things that aren't human. It's like a blank slate they throw onto anything that escapes the traditional roles for sexual atraction. But the majority of bronies are not sexually attracted to ponies, so I really don't know what he meant with that. He might be missinformed.
ReplyDeleteI checked the Reddit survey, and I am really happy with the results. Rainbow Dash is best of the Mane Six, surprisingly so even though I love it. I thought Twilight was going to win, but in the end we go for the badass of the group. And then, for the meek one (Fluttershy). Pegasi rule, which makes me really happy.
Funnily enough I'm reading this while I'm eating the last of pancake day's pancakes for lunch. The image header is quite appropriate.
ReplyDeleteGénial ce résumé du phénomène Brony. Bravo Direct8 et L'Oeil sur le web! Je vais le prendre en note comme resource explicatrice, mais il faut dire que j'ai déjà expliqué tout célà à mes collègues de travail à maintes reprises. C'est quand même une résumé flatteur qui ne ferra pas tort de redistribuer à ceux qui trouvent loufoque l'idée que les adultes peuvent être fan d'un émission destiné aux jeunes filles.
ReplyDeleteLol, love the comments over on that Destructoid article XD
ReplyDeleteFinally! I've been waiting for a Maryland meetup since I got into this show. And Abingdon's not far from where I am. I could make that one!
ReplyDeletehey, cool, a college cencus. it will again confirm the fact that i am the /only/ brony in Angola Indiana.
ReplyDeletelike seriously, there is some kind of brony bubble shield surrounding my town, and i have somehow penetrated it, only because i am addicted to the internet.
Ahahahaha ! Now i'm a celebrity in the French Pony Documentary :D
ReplyDeleteFor once the french journalists are not stupid. Trust me, it pretty rare to have a good and well informed documentary about anything from internet and sub-cultures.
ReplyDeleteGahh! The wrong side of Washington again, and at my school's rival's campus no less! Sorry UW bronies, go Cougs!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part about the destructoid hate was when somepony posted the picture of the little kid saying "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE!"
ReplyDeleteAdventure Time and Ponies...it works so well.
ReplyDeleteNine years of learning French has lead up to this moment of watching that Pony documentary.
ReplyDelete@My Stifled Laughter At least it was for something useful :)
ReplyDeletethat's a nice documentary , but i'm disapointed , they don't talk about bronies creativity .
ReplyDeleteI want that on my for Birthday next week
ReplyDeletei love what they said about equestria daily in the documentary : heavy artillery (artillerie lourde) when they talk about the other community on the net has reject us at the beginning
ReplyDeleteI'm in the "My Little Pony" guild in "Realm of the Mad God"...
ReplyDeleteThe French documentary is in French. I don't speak French, but I really want to know what the guy is talking about.
ReplyDelete@Riflemen526
ReplyDeleteLightningBrony did a translation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAeexLhHy00
Weeeeell, there IS that dating sim in the works. The of course Princess Molestia. :P
ReplyDeleteBut for cereal, James Corck is right on the money. There have been a good number of people who lump bronies, as fans of cute animals who have been known to cosplay, with furries who only have a part of their culture dedicated to sexual activity in the first place. I don't think it's any sort of conscious attack in the face of a culture that hasn't embraced the internet as deeply as those on this site, but it does serve as troll fuel. They're no real threat, given all our accomplishments, but it can be annoying.
BTW, slight update on the So Cal convention: None of the info shared in yesterday's roundup was official. As soon as So Cal Bronies and any supporting parties have ironed out the details, we'll be sure to alert EQD.
ReplyDeleteNo opinion on Marcelgum whatsoever.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame I have to follow EQD's news to learn the existence of a french documentary about us :/
ReplyDeleteSometimes I really want to live in North America instead of living in the Reunion Island, in the middle of nowhere. Seriously, I must be the only brony in at least 200 km...
Yes, can understand it :D
ReplyDeleteThat article is actually really good. It's an interesting and well-thought out essay and it was a delight to read. :)
ReplyDelete@Ashfire
ReplyDeleteSame way I feel in my little town of Hillsboro, Kansas...
/)(\
Alone together on the Internet!!! XD
that french pony documentary was quite good and accurate.
ReplyDeleteI think that's one of the best demonstration of why MLP G4 has exploded in popularity contained within a short documentary that you can see on cable.
ReplyDeleteThey even tried their best to compare why it's better than the last series and made for everyone by demonstrating the old show and Fluttershy snapping a bears neck.
I thank them for doing Celestia's work!
WHY WAS DOCTOR WHOOF NOT IN THE GRAPH PIE!?!.......and why was fluttershy in it? she's not a background pony.
ReplyDeleteThat Confessions of a pre- FiM Brony article was great. Always good to see someone be who they are regardless of social gender roles. I have a very similar attitude as he, I've plenty of "typical guy" interests and also plenty of not-so-masculine pursuits. That's who I am and I won't change it for the world.
ReplyDeleteMuch respect, mister Evans.
I live in Guelph! I had no idea this Con was even here, but I'll be there this weekend!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Ontario is spelled wrong.
>affluent young Americans
ReplyDeleteWelp. That article most certainly isn't talking about me.
Ah, the pre-Faustian pony fans. It must have been really weird for them to see the rise of the bronies :P
ReplyDeleteEasiest survey ever. Of all time. Should be fun seeing how many bronies go to college with me. I may have to set up some posters.
ReplyDeleteIt's a crepe. Not a pancake. Pony crepe.
ReplyDeleteWoo! UW Seattle. I'll be going there for grad school soon, hope the group is still going strong by the time I get there.
ReplyDeletehttp://deliciousoj.blogspot.com/2012/02/desperate-plea.html
ReplyDeleteI think the whole entire purpose in life of me taking french for the past 11 years was to watch and understand that video...
ReplyDelete@Pims
ReplyDeleteThat and for watching MLP in French. The voices are quite cute sometimes, especially for Fluttershy. (I tell myself it's studying.)
And I thought Chris-Chan was the first brony.
ReplyDeleteI lurk a MLP collectors forum alot and I've read many threads about what they think of bronies. Alot of them think it's great that many people and boys like MLP but they also don't like the 'shadier' things in the fanbase (rule 34). They are also sad at how bronies make fun of anything pre G4 and alot of them go to Equestria Daily. And they watch the show and some of them collect G4 toys.
It's interesting to read these collectors reactions of FiM when it got annouced. Many were guessing which pony made it into the show.
@My Stifled Laughter
ReplyDeleteI honestly don't know for the French voices. Been half french half american, I usually go for the original voices. Even if you tell yourself it's for learning, go for it French is a pretty hard language to learn. So a show like that can fill you with glee and teach you a bit. You're on the right patch to speak "fancy" (hate that term, French and English are two beautiful language).
Yay! Go Derpy! Ever since she's finally been given a speaking role, her popularity seems to have skyrocketed. I would like to see Bon Bon, Lyra, Colgate and Carrot Top get some more dialog..Bon Bon's changing voices is hilarious.
