Equestria Inquirer #47

Time for more onion news! Looks like something crazy is going on this time around.  Video after the break, and wordy version here!

"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of mares? The Equestria Inquirer knows! (because we can totally relate). Joe reveals the evils of the Mane Capital corporation, Ivan experiences the evils of an irritable simian, TechRat dares to explore the evils of an overhyped, trashy romance novel, Truthy discusses the obvious evils of Trixie, and LttMoose is just evil. EEEEEEVIL! (he also chats about Mare-Do-Well). Goodie-goodies need not apply this week. As for the rest of you, join us in our evil underground volcano lair and prepare to laugh manically. MWAH HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" - TechRat

Album Compilation: Michelle Creber's Spies in the Night and Forest Rain's Pop-Pink Pony

We had a surge of albums flood in a few weeks ago, but that trend seems to have dried up. 

First off, Michelle Creber released her new single, collabing with Mando Pony and Natalie Sharp.  It isn't specifically a pony track, but Michelle Creber is Apple Bloom, so you better support it anyway!  It's definitely worth a buck.  You can find a preview here.

And below, we have two that came out relatively recently.  Both musicians tend to focus different forms of rock.  You have probably heard of both of them at some point considering how popular they both are on Youtube.   They also allow you to name your price, meaning no excuses!

Merch: Socks and More Shirts!

Hasbro heard your pleas for larger sock sizes! The Target kid socks worked well for arm bands when cut, but we couldn't actually wear them!

Spencers has added a full stock of them for 12.99 a pack.  images of all the ponies can be found above.  The actual sock sizes run everywhere from 9 to 11.    Hopefully you have some pony shoes to go with them! I know we used to be pretty huge on custom ones on some website that shut it all down.  Thanks to Dreaming Dusk for the images!

Head on down past the break for more RANDOM MERCH!

Instrumental Music: Pink Party Chips / Rarity's Dream / Pinkie's Lie (Steampunk)

We have quite the mix of music this time around for all you instrumental lovers out there.  8bit, Trance, and Steampunk can be found after the break!

1.) Pink Party Chips (8bit)
2.) Rarity's Dream (Ambient/Trance)
3.) Pinkie's Lie (Steampunk)

$5514 Worth of Games To Give Out For Charity Tomorrow!

A while back, during that steam sale most of us spent way too much money on, Mic the Microphone started up a simple charity raffle on his Livestream channel.  As is the norm for anything Mic touches, it expanded exponentially, and is now a full on event.   He has since teamed up with Bronies for Good to make it happen!

This takes place tomorrow at 3:00 PM EST (12:00 PM PST) on Mic's livestream channel. Head on down past the break for the full writeup of information on what exactly to expect, and how you can join in. 

Fallout Equestria Hardcover Books Arrived

If you have been following the Nightly Roundups at all, you probably noticed this crazy hardcover Fallout Equestria book project going on.  Someone on Facebook was taking signatures of people who would be willing to pitch in and get them mass produced professionally.  This is the outcome.

All I can say is, wow... Look at all those books.

Unfortunately, one of the volumes came in with water damage.  Hopefully they can get that taken care of! This is still a pretty big testament to what we can accomplish if we pool our resources together.  Massive documentaries aren't the only thing!

Anyway, check out the hub page for them here!

Meghan McCarthy Interviewed on the Nerdist + 13 Episodes Confirmed 100% (Finally)

She seriously has the best oc

Meghan McCarthy was included on a writers panel over at Nerdist.  Included in the mix is more confirmation that season 3 is in fact 13 episodes, as well as a more in depth look at the writing aspect of a Friendship is Magic episode.

Head on over to their website to check it out!

Thanks to Chris for the tip!

(And since everyone is freaking out in the comments, season 3 was finished quite a while ago, and as far as I can see, Meghan is still working at DHX, so you can be pretty sure there are more episodes, or a movie, after season 3.)

Story: The Jewellery Box (Update Part 4!)

[Sad][Adventure] "Quite possibly the beginning of a story whose exploration of Spike's growth and the mane six ponies will leave us speechless." -Pre-Reader 13

Author: determamfidd

Description: In the dark,six voices dwindle. They drift, forgetting life and love and hope, eaten away by time and void.

This Just In: Mohawks!

Well, that got Thunderlane's attention at least...

Hot off the presses, Equestria Daily is proud to bring you this extremely serious and not-even-the-least-bit-silly news. It turns out beloved sea serpent voice talent Lee Tockar promised once upon a time to get a mohawk if he ever reached 2500 followers on Twitter. Not to be outdone, Peter New has sworn to shave his head if he reaches 3000 followers.

Ladies and gentlemen, when a pony voice actor promises to maim their looks and humiliate themselves in exchange for twitter followers, they are making a sacred oath. It would be morally and ethically wrong of you not to help them follow through on their promise. If you have a twitter account, I beseech you, go find these two kindred spirits and click the 'follow' button. Don't leave them sitting in suspense! We're counting on you!

Discussion: You are now a pony, on Earth

A few days ago while bored out of your mind browsing EQD and other pony related websites, you received a mysterious e-mail from someone going by the name of T00tyFruityLyra1996.  Contained within, you find a bunch of random gibberish, similiar to:

alsdjk';lkjss;dljkg';kltrho]';,lgnf,;'lqfwe;wdn   as;d;lkfdpqowefnu;njfeqw qpmoifqpoimqwe[iofqopmi qpwoemfpeqwmoifpiqowe qfpoweipioqfpio

Using your college degree in code language deciphering and minor in psychology, you realize that whoever typed it had no clue how to use a keyboard, and was in fact quite frustrated while doing so.  Feeling adventurous, you forward your skype name over.  Worst case is you block the person, right?

Turns out it was Lyra, and she desperately wants to try your fingers out.   She offers to swap bodies with you for a week via a spell she found in the Starswirl the Bearded wing of the Canterlot archives. 

Sounds fun right? She takes your silence as a yes, so lets hope it is!

Unfortunately, something went wrong, and instead of swapping and appearing in Equestria as a pony, your bodies swapped but minds remained behind!  You are now a mint green unicorn pony with a lyre butt symbol on earth.  Your computer was also destroyed in the process.  The spell should wear off in a week though!  Might as well make the most of it, right?

In the comments below, explain how you will deal with a week on earth as a anime eyed cartoon pony!

Story: The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (Update 7!)

[Normal-Slice of Life]

Author: NavyPony

Description: It's been a thousand years. Princess Luna is returned, and the castle staff must scramble to see that she has servants to attend to her needs, and just as importantly, that they look the part. A hooffull of servants are chosen based on their appearance and duties, and are assigned to serve the Moon Goddess as personal retainers until more suitable replacements can be found. When coloring, Cutie Mark, and chance coincide, one of the castle's junior stewards is thrust into a role any loyal servant ought to jump at: Lunar Hoofservant. Unfortunately for Nightlight, Princess Luna is far more demanding than her older sister, and being her servant means contending with an unforgiving goddess who demands nothing short of perfection.
Saddled with responsibility far beyond his post and expected to fail, this young pony has no choice but to quit his post or to become the servant that Luna needs.
