Nightly Megathread # 32

Happy Nightmare Night! by *asluc96

I was working all day, with no break or way to do the Nightly, so I wasn't prepared for this. |view it after the break|

Monthly Roundup: October

"I know what I did last Nightmare Night..."

Well, another month has passed (basically) and I've found some videos that were overlooked in October. Why? There are many reasons why, but they aren't that important right now... (*mumbles* Google... *mumbles*)

So, after the break, check out these different videos... or just spend the rest of this post looking at my feedback comments on these videos, all located after the break... (I vote for the first one, personally...)

My Little Pony by ~Corina93

Now be honest here, how many of you have never legally watched an episode of Friendship is Magic? No Hub network or don't want to give Apple your money? Do you feel guilty for your crimes? Probably not, but there's still a chance for your civil redemption: Hub has released the pilot episodes on their website. Go check them out here, even though you've probably seen them ten or many more times.

Miniature Discussion post #12

Not bad for a chicken *Radiogenic explodes*

Folks, prepare for discussionception!

So now that the format of discussion posts has been established and given form, what do you think of it? Are there other formats that could be more thought-provoking or organized? Perhaps separate questions could be in bulleted lists, stuff could be color coded, or the discussion posts could be done in conjunction with the polls? (...maybe that second suggestion could be left for Rainbow Dash day) In general, what formats for discussions would you find most engaging?

And of course, on a similar note, what discussion topics would you like to see?

Music: Lullaby for a Princess / Lunar Harvest / A Nightmare to Remember

I tried my hand at art once. After countless hours in MS paint, assembling parts of George Moromisato's artwork, screencaps from the show, and a wallpaper I found here, this was the result.

This Just In: Ponies Sell Tons of Merchandise

Okay, okay, so there's more to it than that.  But what this article is trying to say is that the brony phenomenon has lead to a huge amount of card and comic sales, and that marketing ploys like variant covers and special edition cards have only added fuel to the fire.  If you want to read the full thing, click on past the break...

Normally I'd put a Pinkie header but with all the Hurricane Sandy, East Coast, and all that, I thought I'd dedicate this post to the people going through all that.

Mashup: Sonoko's Pink Bombshell/ "Perfect Dark Gaia / Smile Smile Smile"/ love is in swagga

My mom's reaction to seeing other bronies...

I am happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on*

Mashups are the name and 2 (or sometimes more) songs are their game... Do they pass... or do they fail? You can't be sure until you give them a stern listen to... Two Pinkies (One of them Wooden Toaster-influenced) and a Archie after the break!!

1. Sonoko's Pink Bombshell (Mashup)
2. Perfect Dark Gaia / Smile Smile Smile mashup
3. Archie vs. Dastik - love is in swagga (remix by DjMorgsch)


*Today is my own mother's birthday, so this is one of her favorite songs...

Ah well, some juicy, delicious comics to be found below.

Miniature Discussion post #10

"BOOKS!"

Well Halloween's on the way, so let's discuss a few scary things:

1. What do you think is the scariest possible thing that would be allowed in MLP:FIM
2. The Hub has canceled all future seasons: wat do? (it's hypothetical people, so you can stop worrying. Scary, I know)
3. So apparently only hooved animals can talk in equestria. Assuming all the aimals actually use their hooves to talk somehow, how mutated would a horse need to be to even do that? I mean how does that even work?!
4. IMHC that green powder Zecora used on Nightmare Night was made of intelligent nanomachines and the reason Luna/Celestia/ponies in general have no power over the Everfree forest is because it's all a swarm of nanites disguised as a forest, in a partially-contained grey goo scenario... Wait, was I supposed to phrase that as a question? Oh well. At least you all have the opportunity to learn a little about nanotechnology now: here, here and here. Oooh... learning... spooky! At least for some of you maybe... take that as a challenge.

Anyways, just in case this hurricane gets scary and I lose internet access, I'll post this early tonight.

Typography : September / PMV - This Ragged Heart

Today we got another awesome Typography animated PMV. It from the song "September" and is very well done. We also got a PMV of "This Ragged Heart" after that. Watch em' after the break!

Halloween/Nightmare Night is around the corner everybody! Personally, my favorite part is going to the firing range to shoot up the jack-o-lanterns afterwards! XD

Another Artsy is here after the break.

Also, expect less Artsies to be posted during November. College applications don't do themselves, you know!

The Hubs Playdate Premiere

Can't wait for season 3? Want to see exclusive footage of the season premiere? Well, you might be in luck: The Hub is having a "Playdate Premiere Party" at the Vanderbilt Hall at Grand Central Terminal in New York City. The event seems targeted toward families (either you or someone with you must be under the age of 18) and it runs from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM on Saturday, November 3. It will include an exclusive screening of the new season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, and the series premiere of Littlest Pet Shop! Interested? You can register here.

And the NYC bronies are also planning to take the event by stormn (and perhaps during a storm) here.

Miniature Discussion post #9

Twilight sparkle knows magic is at the center of every atom. I mean strong and weak forces? Popicock!

Tonight we are going to learn some etymology!

"The internet is capable of surprising feats of etymology: and the brony community is no exception. The term “brony” was thought up somewhere on /b/, 4chan’s notorious random board, and is a mixture of the terms “/b/”, “bro” and “pony”. The original spelling, lost for a while to internet feuding, was /b/rony. When the /b/ronies were pushed from 4chan, the backslashes were dropped, and the term became just “bronies”, and the stragglers that remained on 4chan (because banning methods are not perfectly effective) took to calling themselves “ponyfags” instead. 4chan also has other terms for bronies, corresponding to other boards on the site. These terms are “/co/lts” on the /co/ board and “nor/mlp/eople” on the newly-created /mlp/ board. These two terms aren’t used very frequently these days… perhaps they weren’t as catchy as “brony.” Because the term “brony” has the stem bro-, it was eventually argued that the term refers to male fans specifically and needed a counterpart to describe females. This is where the term “pegasister” came from, despite counterarguments that the term “brony” should be considered gender neutral, and inclusive of both male and female fans. “brony” can now be used as either gender neutral or in reference to male fans specifically, though many people still have preferences. “pegasister” has indeed come to refer to female fans of the show specifically. All this etymological evolution took place in just under a year, and by now the terms appear to have stabilized."

So have you seen any brony terminology develop during your time as a brony? This large quote does not take in to account many other terms related to the community, like "brohoof"; how would you analyze those terms etymologically? And furthermore where do you stand concerning the whole argument that spawned the term "pegasister"? Do you consider "Brony" gender-neutral? Do you think a word for female bronies was necessary, even just as a practical matter? Or is "pegasister" just an extra and unnecessary label to you?

Fun fact: The antennae of the Indian luna moth detects a single sex pheromone molecule from more than six miles away due to extremely sensitive olfactory receptors. - courtesy of AskNature and the Biomimicry Institute.

I wanted to collaborate with the Biomimicry Institute once... I don't know what happened to my motivation toward that end. One thing's for sure: they've come a long way in five years. I wonder how Janine Benyus is doing... Music after the break!

God of Thunderp by ~The-Skullivan

...but Derpy's pretty cool too. I still shed a tear every time I see our cumulous hero (referencing Friendship is Witchcraft by the way). In other news, comics are in. I just woke up to five, yes five, comical images, one being a multi-parter! Check 'em out below.

"YOUR (horn) IS THE (horn) THAT WILL PEIRCE THROUGH THE HEAVENS!"

Upon request from a good number of viewers, I have lowered the number of pictures in the A-W S's. From now on there will be no more than 40 pictures in one post. To prevent myself from overexciting the limit, I shall post a second Artsy in a later time of the day. Is there a preferred time for the second one? Is 40 still too much? Tell me below in the comments. But first, let's look at some art, shall we?

YTPMV: Poniryoshka/ Touch Filly, Get Silly 2012

One, two, three, four!

A message I've thought much too much about,
Maybe it'll reach somebody, who can say?
Certainly, I've always been this way,
A patched up, crazy matryoshka!

First off, we have an animated parody of an extremely catchy Vocaloid song and a track from good ol' Yoshi's Island with a very peculiar name...

See both after the break.
