You can do so at [email protected] with Twilight Day in the subject line followed by what media you're submitting.

BGM For "Matter of Principals" and "Hearth's Warming Club"

With two episodes in the US this weekend that means double the background music as collected by the talented RainShadow! If you enjoyed the music of the episodes this weekend you won't want to miss this.

Get it all after the break!

Animation: Roan: World at War

The pen and paper RPG "ROAN" released a while back, and now we have an animation to show it off! Expect warpones, cause Roan's got some of that in spades.

Go watch it below.

Nightly Discussion #1521

Like people, ponies like to explore, push the boundaries, and go where no pony has gone before! While we have seen quite a bit of Equestria so far I wonder how much left there is to discover?

Evening guys! Ready to chat?

Drawfriend Stuff (Pony Art Gallery) #2701

I know Applejack is supposed to be the street pony in G5, but can we get Rarity on that instead? I want an entire show about that image above.

Animation: Pen Kinda Ruins BronyCon

I haven't seen a Piemations brony thing in forever. Here's one about an animator disappointing his fans at BronyCon. The monster.

Get it below.

BronyCon Writers Panel and Presser Interesting Tidbits of Information

Recently my EqD colleagues Aquaman, Couch Crusader and myself had the pleasure of attending BronyCon in Baltimare. While there we also had the pleasure of not only attending a great panel being hosted by the writer's of the show where they discussed the writing process and each break down an episode they wrote, but also sitting down and asking them questions later on!

This post is written in a simple bulletin format for easy reading. The first portion covers the writers panel we attended. And the second portion after contains answers to questions that were asked during the writer's press conference we also attended.

Get interesting tidbits of information after the break! Subjects such as the tune that was the inspiration for Pinkie Pie's "Smile Song', Svengallop's original name, and a band history Lyra and Octavia originally shared in the episode "Slice of Life" that ultimately ended up being cut.

"A Matter of Principals": Episode Followup - Discord is Back!

WeAreBorg here with the episode follow up for "Twilight Bueller's Day Off". We've been doing this for 8 years so you know how it works. Join me below for MacGuffins, paperwork, history lessons, student endangerment, ghosts, spycams, and oh yeah, Discord!

Music: Wootmaster - Little By Little [Hip Hop/Rap]

Wootmaster has taken to the task of compiling a majority of his tracks over the years into one big album, and this new track headlines the bunch. Featuring the use of an old instrumental from Abrante, Wootmaster's vocals speak from the heart with some beautiful lyricism about the fandom and exceptional flow that keeps the interest up the whole way through. Check it out below!

Comic: Instructions / Passion / Stable 23 / Yourself 257 / Planets Epi / Arrival 56 / Pone Wars 6:16 / Endless

Pretty much this episode in a nutshell I think.

Comics guys! Get them after the break!

Totally Legit Recap: "Horse Play"

DWK is back with more of his interesting takes on pony analysis! This time around he handles the season 8 episode Horse Play and with an interesting twist.

Get it after the break!

Do I even need to put a mature warning for these at this point?

Newbie Artist Training Grounds VIII: Day 13

Our submitter system seems to be up and down tonight. If you couldn't upload tonight try our Makeup Day submitter sometime later to submit your entry for tonight!

Even when friendships come and go there is always family there to back you up when you most need it, at least in the most ideal circumstances. With our ponies that is no exception and we've managed to gather quite a few pony families tonight as a result!

In fact we've gathered another 116 ponies bringing us up to 2122 ponies in total. Nice job everyone!

So for our next prompt I though we'd stretch ourselves beyond Equestria a bit and do some exploring! And not just a place in Equestria but way beyond it because for today I'd like you to Draw a pony in space / Draw a pony exploring the final frontier.

As usual our submitter can be found here.

We also have a new Makeup Day submitter!

Good luck everyone!
