Story: The Legend of the Scorpion Queen
by Calpain
[Romance][Sad]
Author: cursedchords
Description:
On the eve of the Day of Reaping, the start of the Equestrian Harvest, it is traditional that a legend be told over supper: the legend of how the traditions surrounding the Day of Reaping came to be. It is a story of love, ambition, and vengeance.
Long before Equestria, a grand Unicorn King maintains a splendid garden. On one of his travels he brings a scorpion back to live within it. That scorpion, resentful of being removed from her home, sets out to have her revenge.

The My Little Pony Instagram Revealed a Bit More Information on Indigo Zap from Friendship Games

A new wall calendar has appeared over at a Calendar website. This one works for both 2015 and 2016 if you choose the specific options on the store page. Can ponies help guide your new years resolution in 2016?
You can get that over here. Thanks to Roy for sending it.
And below the break, RANDOM MERCH! Now go!

Discord really left his mark on you didn't he? I admit, that was definitely one of my favorite season openers. If Discord was Starlight Glimmer I'd like it as #1 though.
Next poll from Perfectly Imperfect:
Do you have an OC pony or a Ponysona?
Hit it up on the sidebar, and get the results of this one below the break!

As many of you picked up back on Thursday, Amazon has started a new service called Underground, where they strip away the freemium features of mobile games, removing in-game micro-transactions and beefing up the way you unlock things. Included in their first wave was the My Little Pony Game.
There are a LOT of easy mistakes to make early on for a newb that cripple your progression later, and after asking over on the MLP Game reddit for tips, along with bothering a bunch of people around me that have played it, I've got a pretty good grasp on how to start off, and maintain your little slice of Ponyville with much better efficiency.
Below the break, get our official EQD guide to the Amazon Underground version of the My Little Pony game!
(And feel free to share your friend codes).

Star Wars is going to be a big deal later this year, so it's not too surprising that we are seeing a boost in ponifications. One of those temporary shirt sites has a sale on a new one. How many of you are going to be badass enough to rock it at the premiere of the movie?
You can get it over here.

Early Morning Discussion #281

Hearing about Scorpan not going along with Tirek and his evil schemes really makes me wonder what he ended up doing after he parted ways with the fiend. I wonder if we'll ever see a conclusion to that story?

Newbie Artist Training Grounds V: Day 10
by Calpain
Tonight we have all sorts of ponies completely epic quests or at least chasing them in their dreams! I'm so very pleased to see quite a few references to Monty Python in here as well. Good show guys! With day 10 upon us you guys sent in 171 entries today, bringing us up to 1990 entries total. Keep up the good work my friends!
Are you guys ready for today's prompt? Well, don't get too starstruck as we want you to Draw a pony celebrity/Draw a Very Important Pony! So while you might not be able to take pics of pony celebrities it's up to you be artist paparazzi and catch those very important ponies.
As always, you guys can submit your pictures here.
We've gotten some confusion on how to submit to our submitter. In the space for the picture URL you want to put in the image URL link. To find this, upload your picture somewhere whether it be dA, Derpibooru, Imgur or wherever and right click on the image. In Chrome you want to click the 'Copy Image URL' button or something similar in other browsers. Input that URL and you should be good to go!
We've got a tutorial below too if you're still having trouble!
If a picture you made doesn't end up in the gallery tonight, please try resubmitting it. Sometimes things get eaten.
Check out our newest gallery after the break!

Rest in peace... I think.
Animation is probably one of the hardest pieces of media to execute in this fandom. Merely putting a project together is an uphill battle, which is why it's understandable to see that the best animations within the fandom were made with small teams. Button's Adventures is a good example. Made with close to 3 people (ShadyVox, JanAnimations, and ElieMonty), Button's Adventures was all the fandom was talking about in 2013, along with the unfortunate drama that ensued.
However we are not here to talk about that. I've noticed a problem with every major animation that has been released or posted to Equestria Daily: none of them are completely perfect. Sure, there are some animations that couldn't live up to their hype. There were some that were very close to being perfect. Finally, there were some that were simply missing the mark or the potential within their story. Let's talk about the major fandom animations after the break.

Usually these cheapo plastic things that mass invade store shelves and random merchandise posts here on EQD are just that, cheap. This new Karaoke set is definitely not cheap, at least in price. A new listing has appeared over on Toys R' Us, for the hefty dollar total of $109.99. Here's to hoping its pretty robust at that price! Product description:
Monitor with lyrics display; Soundtrack Display; CD/CD+Graphics Compatible; Play music from your iPad, iPhone, iPod, Tablet Device or CD Player; Displays song on your television screen; Enhanced vocal effects; Separate Volume controls; Dual Microphone inputs for singing duets (One Microphone Included).

These two were revealed at Toy Fair earlier in the year, and again at SDCC where the release date was set to August 6th. Apparently they were a bit delayed though. A Walmart in Canada has both in stock apparently. Chances are this means we are finally going to see them invading all stores. Be sure to call in first though!
I for one am probably going to get me a Coco.
Thanks to Ryan for sending it.

Shadows of Equestria follows an alternate dimension version of Equestria, with the usual cast you've come to know and love. Expect some really well done vocal interpretations, a bit of animation, and a whole bunch of custom art.

Pony Analyzers dive into TF2, complete with a ton of custom art and vectors. I for one need to do art on that scale here on EQD! We'd actually have new banners maybe!
Join this huge cast, involving Dusty Katt, Josh Scorcher, Silver Quill, ILoveKimPossibleAlot, Ink Rose, and many more throughout the Reviewing/Analysis community.
Anyway, get some of that below the break!

Pegasus seriously got it made. Houses in the sky, beds made of clouds, flight. I'm usually all for unicorn if that "pick a pony race to be" thing ever appeared, but I wouldn't be disappointed if I had to choose pegasus.
Earth ponies though...

If there is one thing the Brony fandom as a whole loves to do, it's game together. Unleash the FRIENDSHIP by unleashing a hail of virtual bullets into your fellow pony fan! The perfect plan!
Over the years, we have seen a multitude of communities pop up around this aspect. Many of them unfortunately slow down over time. Because of this, we constantly need new things! Lets do it again.
We are teaming up with the guys at Ponyville Live to launch a new gaming community and spark that side of the fandom back up. The server operator, We Are Borg, is known for running loads of pony community servers over the years (Including our old EQD ones), and going along with that side, we now have a pony gaming forum to help supplement them and anything else you'd like to do with your fellow brony in the world of games.
Over on the side bar with all of our other new buttons, you will find a link to Friendship is Gaming. Join in, recruit people for various games, or just come play some TF2 on our initial three pony servers. You can find those over on our Equestria Daily Steam Page.
Tonight we will be battling it out on Team Fortress. Come join me and the team at PVL for some good ol' fashioned hats:
The Barnyard IP: play.friendshipisgaming.com
Tartarus IP:play2.friendshipisgaming.com
