@people drawing pony art

OC pone do knot stael.

@AugustDay
IM NOT SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
Im my original character,
Blonic the pony!

So are we still talking about drawing ponies? If so it upsets me seeing how i can hardly draw people right. It's sorta like a giant kick in the balls to me.

Did someone say party? No? Screw what you guys said, I'm having me a party.

thank Celestia, someone who fucking gets it. i was afraid i didn't make it obvious enough XD
i uploaded SANIC TEH PONE to the mlp entry, and everyone is downvoting it :'(
#firstworldproblems

and here i thought i did a pretty good job >:D

@AugustDay
Don't worry about it. I have done worse. I am still waiting for the Care Bear to air in the U.S. (I live in Canada, so I will probably will never see it on T.V.) so I can revive the KYM Care Bear Thread with an unbelievable amount of sarcasm to critic it and to confirm if if we will all turn into "Belly Bros".

>That feel when my birthday is September 9th.
I'm going to have some pony to time how long I have before they get me.
But I'll enjoy every second of it.

lol Belly Bros XD

well, i think i'll go read Tiny Wings now.
cya guys soon.

@Mega
I love Weird Al's polkas!
I can't stand the original versions of most of the songs that he parodies in there, but when he does it, they're awesome!

Which pony are you?
I'm Luna and doomed to a life of hopeless sadness!
Yay!

@Ric
I think that chart was posted a few days ago.
I distinctly remember being trapped on an island with Vinyl and lamenting my wub-laden fate.

@August
Oh, cool!
Have fun!
See ya on the other side!

@DeadParrot222
Celestia damn my memory to hell I did not see or possible noticed the thing being posted here at all…
Well I guess we all can't be winners for being relevant….

But I am going to hug people though:

THAT GOES FOR ALL IN THREAD! :D

WATCH OUT! RIC HAS A HUG! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

The ultimate weapon of cuteness!
The dreaded… FLUTTER-HUG!

So, watched Brave today.

(and suddenly this post becomes pony related)

It wasn't quite up to par with the rest of Pixar's work, but it still was an enjoyable film overall. Don't want to spoil the story too much (because you all should go watch it and see for yourself), but I'd say that although the plot was fairly predictable and completely uncreative, Pixar did a good job adding their own magic to it.I found the characters, especially Merida, to be a bit generic and unremarkable in all aspects. It's almost like, Pixar is getting sort of, should I say, Disneyfied, with the princesses, and the fairy tales, and the songs, and the limited plots. Even the animation looks different from your standard Pixar fare. Sort of reminds me of Tangled.

Still a great movie though. The 3D is well done, and of course the animation was amazing (even better than MLP hurrdurr), as to be expected from Pixar, vividly realistic and perfectly evoking a sense of the wilderness and untamed nature of 11th century Scotland. The overall plot was predictable, yes, but individual scenes were well-written and thought-out. They took the confines of an ordinary fairy tale and stretched it as much as they could, and for that, I applaud them.

I give it 7.5/10. It's a definitely a good movie, even if it lacks that signature Pixar charm.

So yeah, it was completely worth $15.

I'm sorry, I may be alot of bad things, but a cheater, I am not. What would Shiny think?

What would Tavi think!

…Okay. But, think of Shiny!
Oh, the reason I haven't updated as musch is, well… Projects are clogging… and Mabinogi. Sorry.

I'm not into clop……sorry.
Still, I'm not gonna neg you for liking those stuff.

I feel so dirty…

We still doing that pony art thing? No? Well screw you I'm still posting Slinker.

I'm sorry for the quality. I know I botched the left eye. I literally sketch this a few minutes ago, didn't really have time to clean it up because I have sh*t to do, and I snapped the pic off my droid phone 'cause my scanners on the fritz. Also my f**king drawing pad is broken… I have no money for a replacement. I also have just recently started trying to draw ponies. (I'm better at humans.) I know it ain't the greatest pony drawing. Sorry. So to make up for that, have a better pony drawing of Pinkie and family skydiving.

Here is sauce

@Millenial Dan
What does that make? 3 animation projects now? Sonic Rainboom. That one, and I think one other. This summer is gonna be awesome… Or, is awesome.

With the night pony kick some of us have been on lately, this was just too good to pass up. You all may have already seen it, but if not, you really should check it out. It is amazing.

I love you guys so much.

Did you guys see this yet?

Is the unique IP count finally a definitive estimate of the size of bronydom? Granted, many people may have multiple IPs, and many of those may not be bronies, per se, but then there's the people that are bronies that have never visited EqD. So maybe slice off a million and I think that's how many bronies there are. Holy crap.

Iron Pony Competition against Twilight Sparkle.

That one's in the pocket.

>That feel when I become mortal enemies with Octavia.

Stuck on an Island with Derpy?

Awwww yeah….

I'm Mortal enemies with nightmare moon….I am sooooooo fucked.

@badsitrep
You lucky fuck gentleman
If only my birthday was may 6 or june 6….
@doctor
Its not that bad, i mean just get celestia to rebanish her to the moon, or use the elements of harmony

@Derpy
Well at least you aren't Mortal enemies with nightmare moon..

I conquered Equestria with Cadence.

WHAT.

It's a start, but you'd need some other information to get a decent estimate. On a large site of this nature, how often will people just randomly click it and not be bronies? Do bots have their own unique IP's? How many people go there to log-in and troll (especially when anonymous posting was allowed)? How many people are small kids or parents looking for FiM content online and aren't outside of the target demographic (specifically, age)? What about dynamic IP's?

6,400,000 unique visitors. If you're like me, then you can look to where I've commented from on Ponibooru. 38 different IP's, and I haven't done anything to change it. Granted, I have posted from other places, but I can only think of 3, and at the very most 10. So let's say that I, just one user, has 20 unique IP's. If you have an account on Ponibooru or another site that documents where you log in from or comment from, check to see how many IP's you have. If most people are like me and have, what I'm guessing is, a dynamic IP, then you'd have to divide that number by at least 20.
 
>320,000. Straight off the top.

At this point in the fandom, I'm sure most people who identify as bronies have been to EqD at least once. They may never return, and they may hate the commenters there, but they're in that total as well even if they say they've never visited. To be in that 6,400,000, all you have to do is visit just once. There aren't many bronies, who are from an Internet-based fandom (meaning that we all have access to the 'Net) that have never visited Equestria Daily. It's the single largest hub of the fandom. I doubt 1,000 bronies are like that, but let's add 10,000 in case I'm wrong.
 
>330,000

Sure, there are those who trolled and became bronies. Tons of people are like that. But you know that trolls are still out there. I couldn't tell you how many, but I think we could all agree that there are many. They were some of the ones who IP's are listed from when EqD allowed Anon posting in the comments. You have to consider that as well.
 
Also note why else a person would end up on Equestria Daily. Horse rider? You type in "Equestrian" and may slip up and get to "Equestria." Your first result would be EqD. Parents going for MLP news who don't even know about bronies click the first links on My Little Pony. Their IP's are in there as well.

And don't forget about MLP fans who don't care about the difference among the generations and came to or come to EqD. They were the MLP community possibly 20 years or more before bronies came along, and they were certainly sizable. If they're looking for FiM news specifically, then they may go to EqD without being bronies.

tl;dr

I'd be very surprised if there were half a million bronies worldwide.

Apparently, this causes feels.

HEY KIDS, KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?!? IT'S TIME FOR Takashi's FIFTHS' PONY MUSIC PARODY! TODAY IS DASHIE B. GOODE!

Deep down Equestria close to Ponyville
Way up in the sky where the birds like to chill
There stood a cloud house light as feathers and ash
Where lived a pegasus by name of Rainbow Dash
She never graduated at the top of her class
But when she's flappin her wings, Goddamn she goes fast

Go, Go Dashie Go, Go *
*Go Dashie Go, Go
Go,Dashie, Go, Go
Go, Dashie, Go, Go
Dashie B. Goode

She used to work a job giving sun and rain
But from her stunts and tricks she could not refrain
She'd twirl and zoom and she's drop and spin
Makes standing around feel like a deadly sin
All the ponies on the ground would shout and cry
Good lord, that little mare can fly!

Chorus

Her friends all told her "Honey, you don't need no colt."
One day you'll be the leader of the Wonder Bolts
Many ponies coming from miles around
To watch you in the air til the sun goes down
Maybe someday your name will be in the lights
Saying Dashie B. Goode tonight

Chorus

@Verbose

Hmm, very interesting. I know I've used the site from at least four different devices, and a few of them definitely use a dynamic IP. I'm sure there are plenty of people who use only one device though, particularly if they're not total internet junkies like most of us. It's kind of hard to tell what the average IP count is, but I'd still wager that you're correct in estimating bronies to be somewhere in the six digit range.

Of course, that's not the only interesting thing about the available statistics. Many have observed how much faster the 200,000,000 mark was reached than 100,000,000. What I'd really like to see is the exact shape of that growth curve, since that would tell us roughly how much impact season 2 had on interest levels.

Unrelated: In honor of your trollific new name, here's a picture of Fluttershy sleeping.

Now let me hear you YAY!

Hmm… I'll have to think about this, but my memory is a bit foggy.

The last boss I fought was either Marx Soul from Kirby Super Star Ultra.

Or, The Marker from Dead Space 2, along with thousands of necromorphs trying to stop me.

They're fucked either way.

@Fifths
Very nice!
Why has no one yet combined this:

With this?:

Close enough:

@Zarathh
Well, I just finished Shadow of the Colossus so…

Considering that he's pretty much as big as Ponyville itself, this may be a problem, although technically they can just fly up and stab him in the head.

@Zarathh

Yep. Equestria is doomed.

EDIT:
Also, for the record, they could totally take on thousands of necromorphs. Pinkie is well equipped to take on such a task.

@Zarathh
Master hand:

@Zarathh
Marauder Sheilds

I would've said Harbinger, but Bioware decided that they would rather have a regular class enemy as a final boss instead of an awesome mega insect robot alien squid who shoots multiple yellow beams from his eyes

I'm not sure if Pinkie would do anything like this, but I won't put it against her.

Terry Crews is best Old Spice guy.

@Thor
I usually have a high tolerance for this sort of shit, but in this case:



DO NOT WANT!

@Thor
That is technically porn.
Read the rules
No porn
The difference between that and the Lyra plush is the Lyra one had just….a hole. Nothing else.
That, however, is obviously supposed to resemble a part of female genitalia.
Please remove that. If you're going to show us, please link it instead.

@Thor

No, that thing's overboard. It's basically a fleshlight slammed in a plushie. Please delete your post.

If anyone spots that NSFW Twilight plushie being posted again in the image gallery, please notify me and I'll remove it. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll know when you see it. I'll check after the weekend if it's perhaps related to the famous Lyra Plushie. But I doubt it, knowing the fact it's not from the same creator.

got it

So, uh, guys?
Guys?
Like, guys?
I… I think I'm dead…

SOURCE

wait you were alive?

@DeadParrot

@Thor

sigh One day my curiosity will kill us both.

Could you throw up the link to the thing everyone is freaking the fuck out over?

@Zarathh about the last boss in the last video game I played.
Well I play RTS games and they don't have any good distinct bosses what so ever in them so ima go farther back to Metroid fusion.

Well shit…I hope those ponies got some good Ice beams to destroy the Omega Metroid… I think Twilight will make up a spell of some sort.

The video description is suitably crazy as well.

Ah, Nar Shaddaa…
Hutt world. Still part of the Empire officially, but not really cared for. Notorious though, got a lot of the galaxy's worst stuff. Red Light Sector, Gang wars…
Anyway, my Imperial superiors called me over here in regards to my contract. They like me close, but not too close. Should be back by tommorrow. But I found time to post here.
I see Thor had an issue. Glad I didn't see it.
Miss you. See ya soon.
@Last boss in a game?
Shaak Ti in "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed". Kicked her sorry butt in seconds, even though I had to start over my save (therefore I have low force powers). But finding most of the holocrons the last two levels helped beef up my character, so it was an easier duel.
