Lyra and Bonbon Day - Open Art Compilation!

With the Artist Training Ground a few weeks away, it's good to see so many people throwing new art at us! Prepare those pencils, mice, tablets, or whatever else you plan to draw with! Maybe avoid the blood though. Edgy, but kinda gross.

Get your Lyra and Bonbon open art from skills of all levels below!

Editorial: Pony Pride and What to Make of It

A few days ago, the Hasbro official Instagram page ended Pride month by editing together a few vectors (with a questionable number of wings) over a pride flag of their own design with the hashtag PonyPride.

This isn't really anything new. Hasbro's been taking baby-steps towards supporting the LGBT+ community with Pony for some time, and by now, not much hoopla was made. Not much of a big deal.

But as a diehard Pony fan and a member of the LGBT+ community myself, I thought it worth adding my perspective. What, if anything, have Hasbro's timid but positive efforts meant to me and fans like me? Is it pandering? Exploitative? Not enough representation or too much? 

Why does it matter, and more specifically, why does it matter to MLP?

Nightly Discussion #1493

The day is slowly coming to an end and it's time for a bit of a pony nap. They've got to keep up their energy for the rest of their appreciation day.

Evening guys! Time to chat.

Drawfriend Stuff - BEST OF LYRA AND BONBON - Humanized and Anthro Edition

We haven't had a compilation of anthro and humanized art starring these two yet. Hope you are ready for it! Lyra and Bonbon have had quite a bit over the last few years, and this post is dedicated to the best of the best!

For the pony version of this post, head on over here.

As always, suggestive content will be hidden behind links, but bikinis and the like without any suggestive overtones are all good. If you don't like girls in bikinis, you should probably avoid this post.

Go get it all below!

Nicki Minaj Rockin a G1 Swim Suit in New Music Video

I totally forgot to hit publish on the Lyra and Bonbon day art compilation for 3:00 while working on the Humanized and Anthro one, so have this filler content while we get that up for 4:00 instead! Nicki Minaj in her most recent music video was rocking a G1 My Little Pony swim suit in her newest music video "bed" from a few days ago.

Head on down below to check it out!  Pony begins at ~1:30

Sunset Shimmer Build a Bear Plushie in Person

Thanks to KrazyKari for the images!

If you are one of the many people who have been waiting for a Build a Bear Sunset, and only saw the stock images so far, she is now in stores and has pictures floating around online. She's actually looking pretty good in comparison. They definitely didn't fluff her up any for the stock.

We've the pricing and other information over here. She's also available in Australia if you happen to be awake and browsing right now!

63 Awesome Lyra and Bonbon Plushies!

The laying down ponies are kind of a new thing aren't they? Time for jealousy, cause this compilation is massive. And Lyra dominated. Apparently you all like her a lot more than Bonbon. Poor Bonbon.

Music: Chang31ing - 4DaPlot (feat. mycutiemarkisagun) [Breaks]

Chang31ing has been circling around the US fandom convention scene as a DJ for the last few years, but his production value as a producer continues to increase as well. This clean, fun breaks-style tune features awesome use of the vocal sample that lends the song its tongue-in-cheek name, and some great groovy vibes too. Check it out below!

Pony Plushie Compilation #279

Apparently this Fluttershy is causing quite the stir online! Maybe it's the pose or that adorable smile or maybe it's just because it is Fluttershy. Heck it could just be a perfect trifecta of all three. Plus you've got to admire the craftsmanship on her as well, that is some high quality pone.

Plushies guys! It's good to be posting one of these again after so long. Forgive any duplicates this time around.

Lyra and Bon Bon Day Discussion - Head Canons, Favorite Moments, and More

Much like Derpy or any of the many other background ponies the fandom has brought to life over the years, Lyra and Bon Bon were no exception to the rule that we had to give every interesting background pony we saw their own story.

From being an odd couple to Lyra being obsessed with humans and just odd in general these two have always been together. Since Slice of Life their backstories have been a bit more solidified but plenty of head canons developed long ago are still alive and well.

So what are your favorite head canons and theories on these two? If they had an episode together what would you like to see? Do you see the two as just friends or 'good friends'?

Discuss all of this and more in the comments!

Morning Discussion #1267

Leave the sneaking around to the pros Lyra, unless Bon Bon is willing to show you how it is done.

Morning guys! Sleep well?
