Pinkie's official VA. Twilight's to if you can manage to hear it:

Hopefully if this catches on in Japan, some kick ass humanized art will pop up. I'd love to see more work like this:

I forgot you liked humanized art too. Take a look at this and enjoy resisting temptation to re-read "that" fanfic... again.

Speaking of fanfics, I started to put a dent in my read later folder. I'll link some recommendations sometime next week.

**Corrderio** · 2013-03-24 02:57

I don't mind humanized if it's done right. Fluttershy is hit or miss out of the M6, though.

Personally, I haven't found a humanization that I didn't like. But laughable levels of butthurt that racially diverse artwork generate can be entertaining, especially if it's Black/Asian Twilight or Muslimshy. Even though the human fanart is done by a range of artists, the shared headcanon is pretty surreal. My favorite has to be hootershy. Something about Fluttershy having a comically oversized bust as a human always seems to get a sagely nod out of me because it's so believable:

Now for some fanfiction. Totally not surprised this earned a feature spot. An original, thought provoking fanfic that explores grief and moral grey areas? Shut up and take my upvotes! Only one chapter, but definitely worth keeping an eye out for. This shows great potential:
Why Am I Crying? - by Rated PonyStar
http://www.fimfiction-static.net/ima...png?1364188554

For as long as any of the Cutie Mark Crusaders can remember, Diamond Tiara had always been the biggest bully they knew. But when that said bully dies in an accident, each of them starts to go through their own experience in this sudden change in their lives. One will go through a trial of guilt, believing the blood of Tiara lies on her. Another shall lose her innocence as the prospect of death haunts her daily. And finally, one will wonder if it's wrong to feel no sorrow for such a mean soul lost, but how mean really was Tiara? Each will learn more about themselves and about the pony who they all thought they knew before she is laid to rest.

If you don't already know yet, I'm a big fan of alternate universe stories. I think I posted links to Rainbow Double Dash's "Lunaverse" series a while back. The story arc centers around Princess Celestia being the one to turn evil and Luna having to banish her to the sun for 1000 years. Going along with that already insane scenario, Trixie is the one who becomes Luna's #1 student and is later banish-er sent to Ponyville to learn the magic of friendship. Great series of stories if you haven't read them yet, but what I didn't realize is that they were setting up for this:
Crisis on Two Equestrias - RainbowDoubleDash
http://www.fimfiction-static.net/ima...png?1364006351

Trixie appears once more in Ponyville, but something is...off...about her. She isn't speaking in third person. She is convinced that she is supposed to be the Element of Magic, that Celestia is supposed to be the Tyrant Sun, that Luna is supposed to rule as Equestria's monarch - and that Twilight is supposed to be a wanted criminal. Has she gone insane? Or is something bigger beginning - with consequences that Trixie, Twilight, and two entire worlds, can only guess at?

The long-awaited Crisis on Two Equestrias begins at last!

While reading the stories of The Lunaverse can only enhance your reading experience, it is not necessary for this story! It is being written as completely, 100% stand-alone, with no prior knowledge necessary!

Out of fear of spoiling this clever little one-shot, all I'm going to say is read it. If the description doesn't at least draw an interest out of you, well, you must not be a Derpy fan and I'm okay with that. But read it anyway:
Derplicity - by Skywriter
http://www.fimfiction-static.net/ima...png?1362322228

Derpy Hooves is secretly a changeling.

Nopony particularly notices, or cares.

And in other news, Ivory Piano, the author of Keeping it Simple made a blog post last night previewing the next chapter. If you're a fan of Big Macintosh, and you haven't read this story yet, what are you doing?

That's all for now. Fimfiction got another graphical facelift and it managed to bork my story update notifications, so I had to systematically search each story to renew them while reading the updated chapters I missed. Probably explains why I haven't had any new views for Inappropriate or Lunar Liability in a while.

I'll make it two for Derplicity. It's rather well written and a fun read to boot- one of the better ones out of FiMFiction lately.

**Corrderio** · 2013-03-26 22:35

MLP Manga in the works. Now I gotta find a place that will translate it.

**Silenka** · 2013-03-26 23:56

Gimme it when it comes out, I'll do it.

Except probably 400 other people will beat me to it because it's MLP.

**Niya** · 2013-03-28 17:06

400? Don't underestimate the fandom, i'd say there will be way more

One hour of fan-made equestrian empire music, the first track already have me goosebumps oO If the video hits 1k likes/20k views by the end of april Carbon will release a free download link.

**Silenka** · 2013-03-28 19:17

"Equestrian Empire"? That sounds like a game mod based on Age of Empires or something lol.

First track reminds me slightly of Christopher Tin's opening to Civ IV

Wonder if there was any inspiration there.

**Sol-Blackguy** · 2013-03-28 20:26

Is there an actual site geared towards brony music out there yet? I really feel like I'm missing out on stuff sometimes.

**Corrderio** · 2013-03-29 01:33

http://www.eqdmusic.com/home

Closest thing I can find. Though yeah I'd love to see some more music since I can't stand most of the popular musicians such as Tombstone/Mando.

Such a mod would be awesome xD But i guess you know what i meant with it, music geared towards all the different empires in Equestria ^^

And for brony music, well, there is https://eqbeats.org/ Kind of a soundcloud specific for brony artists.
And of course, the MLPMA, current v14 has almost 700 artists and almost 6000 songs ^^ But it only gets updated every few months.

**Niya** · 2013-03-29 14:39

Talking 'bout music...

**Corrderio** · 2013-03-29 19:39

Incoming awesome pic

Spoiler: show

**Niya** · 2013-03-30 14:31

Aw yeah, already loved Jiayi's season 1 recap picture, but this one easily tops it ^^

Thanks to the background image used for the pony empires video, I found an artist who has a very specific style of drawing pure awesomeness. (spoilered for size)

Spoiler: show

Make sure to browse his gallery, there's a bunch of other pics that are on the same quality level oO (but not everything's Pony related ^^)

**Corrderio** · 2013-03-30 19:07

Let's get the rumor mill spinning how about?

Also, Double Rainboom premiere in about an hour and a half: http://www.doublerainboom.com/

I seen a recorded preview of it form Momocon or w/e it's called and all I can really say is it's not that good. Sure the animation is top notch, but the writing itself is just flat out horrible. Sadly the brony community is full of moronic fanboys that eat this kind of crap up it looks like.

But seriously, if this is about what I think it is, we might have one of the best episodes of MLP ever done.

**Corrderio** · 2013-03-30 20:50

I'm curious to hear your theory.

Also, ep is finally up:
