After careful consultation, I am unable to determine whether the leaked screenshots are legit or not.

Legitness:
>the fact that there's four, HD pictures that would take hours to draw and vectorize
>4chan being unable to reverse image search any of them. They literally showed up on 4chan first.

Seeming Legitness:
>Incorrect episode title of "Princess Twilight Sparkle" when both Zap2it, and an official press release give the title as "Princess Twilight"

According to 4chan, they were taken from an Entertainment Weekly promo that will be released "tomorrow" and that's the reason for the strange aspect ratio (the EW logo was cropped out) and the Hub logo being in the wrong place.

I suppose if the next few days go by and nothing happens, then we'll know an absolutely masterful ruseman was at work.

@DP

Of course my question was a stupid one. Of course we have all twelve Doctor Whooves (plural?)

So all we need now is separate image for each doctor, one for each day.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess you've something for that too. That's why I like you, you are like KYM's official pony image search engine

So while I'm on the subject, anyone for a Doctor Whooves thread?

I haven't given myself the time to read pony comics, but I certainly gave myself time to read the Doctor Whooves comics of which there are many.

Now I'm not much of a doctor who fan. I only passingly see the TV series but I still think Doctor Whooves is one of the coolest things to come from this fandom. I like him so much that I wear him.

Actually, Prince Whooves actually seems fitting, Time Lords have plenty of superhuman abilities, possibly more than Alicorns have over the normal trio of Pony races, even.

I like him well enough, but I must admit I have one little issue… The whole concept is slightly confusing to me.
"See that brown pony in the background?"
"Yeah?"
"He looks like David Tennant!"
"Oh yeah, he totally does!"
Wat
Nevertheless, he's a solid character and as a bonus, nobody will think I'm weird for not wanting to kiss him! …Right?

We’re gonna Doc around the clock tonight!
We’re gonna Doc, Doc, Doc ‘til broad daylight!
We’re gonna Doc, gonna Doc around the clock tonight!

Damn you and your inhuman image finding skills!

What if Doctor Whooves doesn't even show up in the background this season? Kinda like Derpy last year.

Yes, he does look like David Tennant.

Does that alone make him the Doctor?

Not necessarily.

The fact that he looks like him AND has a cutie mark that makes you think Time is a thing he specializes in, then its slightly less of a stretch.

If it was only one or the other, nobody would have noted that much, but the fact he's got both made them put two and two together to get something vaguely resembling a four regardless of if it is or not actually a four.

And no, we don't think you're weird if you want to kiss anyone or anything. There's much weirder things out there and in here than that.

Nya~!

Honestly, I get that (the "it's the combination") , it's the "looks like David Tennant" part that kinda has me stumped, really.

And no, we don’t think you’re weird if you want to kiss anyone or anything. There’s much weirder things out there and in here than that.

Are you sure? That's kinda the impression I got from the kissing Derpy debate a little while ago (pages 123-125, mostly it's all on 124).

0_0

Wasn't it just that one person who thought that Kissing Derpy was Weird?

Wasn't that you?

Wasn't it for most who didn't want to kiss her mostly thought it wasn't weird and could understand it but just weren't into it themselves?

Eh… Meh.

In any case, I'm still weirder than you. And you might not be interested in seeing how many ways that is.

…A.k.a. A lot.

Edit:

Well, I thought that kissing Derpy was weird, and I got the distinct impression from what others said that they thought I was weird for thinking that, basically.
I also confessed my Pony-related fetish at the end of the argument but nobody called me weird for that.

Pretty much.

Not sure why even when you say all this that you think we would think you weird for wanting to kiss one pony when we find you weird for NOT wanting to kiss another.

Basically what to take away from this is that what's really weird is if you say you DON'T want to kiss a pony rather than saying that you do want to kiss one.

…If that makes sense.

Erm… To put it simply…

KISS ALL THE PONIES!

Well, I thought that kissing Derpy was weird, and I got the distinct impression from what others said that they thought I was weird for thinking that, basically.

David Tennant days left until S4.

Ah yes, indeed the clock is ticking…

I've even done a pretty good job of avoiding spoilers this time. Aside from the title of the first episode, I don't know anything at all about the new season! The wait is almost over!

Oh, and I've finally entered the 21st century. I have (sort of) high speed internet! No more fighting with dial-up for me. It's not quite good enough to play League of Legends on, but it's miles better than what I was stuck with before. Woohoo!

Wha? A Doctor Whooves thread?

I'm sure there's incarnations of all the Doctors somewhere on the internet, if it exists, there is a pony of it. Even though the countdown is random-ish, it does actually kind of make sense considering it's a big day for both shows, seeing Tennant and Twilight in one day, I don't know if my brain will be able to handle it..

As far as Whooves appearing in Season 4, there isn't a doubt in my mind, even it's not the 10th incarnation the cutiemark is a stock cutiemark that's applied to background characters, it even made an appearance in Equestria Girls that featured a cast of new background characters so I'm sure we'll see either classic Whooves, or a new Whooves, either way he'll be there.

10 days left,

Allons-y!

What's so wrong with me? I can't avoid spoilers of any kind! The further I went in not seeing spoilers was when I didn't watched GTA V's ending on Youtube! AAAAAH
…Oh well, there is always the next year.

So what you guys think about this hoodie design?

I REALLY like the body design.

One only wonders if there'll be a version that people will compare to Peter Capaldi.
Especially since there have been fan versions of that already made.

I suppose you'd be pretty sore at me if I spoiled the whole "Fluttershy turns into a dragon" episode to you

Just to be absolutely clear, you are kidding, right?

huh? what, yeah, that's totally an episode
Even the element of Honesty knows its the truth

That.. that doesn't bother you, does it?

@DeadParrot/Fifths
What happened with the tumblr you guys created? I saw the account change, but what caused it?

That is the best hoodie design I've ever seen. I agree with you fully on the body design; I guess I just like neon green. 10/10 would wear.

@Fluttershy Turns Into A Dragon:

No, it was leaked last Tuesday, it will be pretty interesting to see how Fluttergon or Dragonfly, whatever we're going to call her now, will effect the dynamic of the show and the main cast, though her being a dragon now, does make a lot of sense if you think about it, so I think it will work.

Does Fluttershy turn into a dragon before or after she becomes an alicorn?

>Implying any of this is real

dockturr pls

I was going to explain how the two-parter fits into my headcanon, what with Earth and Equestria being connected, but I wasn't really sure if anyone cared. Still, if anyone wants to hear it, I'll post it.

sounds interesting…

Nope, it has been leaked by The Hub.

Season 4 Episode 6, Dragonshy Part 2 (not a fan of the title as it's not REALLY a continuation of the season 1 episode)
When a new Unicorn arrives in Ponyville with exceptional magic skills Fluttershy finds herself transformed into a 10 story high Dragon. Fluttershy and her friends must find the Unicorn and change her back before it's too late.

Does Fluttershy turn into a dragon before or after she becomes an alicorn?

Well of COURSE it's before, they save her Alicornification for the Season 4 finale.

At least she doesn't have wings.

No, no. Hasbro found another way to mess with you.

FINALLY! A reason to go to Black Friday.

At 16″ × 20″ (40 × 51 cm) for $12.00, that's really not bad. She's being advertised as a pillow, and I know that if I were sleeping on her, I wouldn't care much that she looks a little bit like a frog.

And this little guy doesn't seem to mind at all.

Damn it! Dragons are so fire-resistant, how am I supposed to burn her to death now?!

Seriously though, it really did sound far-fetched but people said the same about Princess Twilight and we all know how that turned out.

@Walmart Twilight Sparkle

I think I'd rather buy the one from Hot Topic

Kinda ugly, but I think it's cute.

:

Would I lie to you?

Alright then, off we go.

@Twilight Plushie: HOLY FUCK WHAT IS THAT THING'

@Dr Whooves circlejerk
I like Doctor Who as much as the next guy (I'm curious how Moffat's gonna handwave the "there can only be twelve regenerations" thing), but I never really understood "Dr Hooves." It's fine to goof off thinking up headcanon for the background ponies, but the level that people take it just seems kind of silly.

@Verbose
>Hasbro
>implying it isn't some licensed company that made the plushie

Hasbro seems to take a lot more flak than it deserves. EQD even caused some moderate jimmy rustling the other day with everyone's paranoid posts when Funrise said a Luna plushie would cost too much money to produce. The crazy "Hasbro's lying and only wants to destroy the fandom" people were spouting made the economist and /mlp/ enthusiast inside of me boil with rage. It's like no one's ever seen a Demand Curve before (As prices go up, demand goes down).

It's also been officially announced that the episode title for the premiere has been changed to "Princess Twilight Sparkle." As a result, the legitness of those screencaps is now almost without doubt.

I thought it was spelled "dr. whooves"
i've seen it both ways…

Both ways? So I guess that makes you a bi-whoovian?

. . . .

I'll see myself out.

That's the preferred fan version. The one without the W is the official spelling, for copyright reasons.

@Crash

Correct. Doctor Hooves is the legal name. Which is fine by me because in my headcanon, Derpy Hooves is married to Doctor Hooves

@TSG

but I never really understood “Dr Hooves.”

What's not to get? It's the freaking doctor. He lends a hand to an entire other fandom so of course that's gonna give him more fanfare than any other background pony.

Even though Time Turner wasn't originally created to be a reference to Dr. Who, the internet isn't known for accepting things the way they were intended and will interpret characters in it's own fashion whether anyone likes it or not. It doesn't matter if Time Turner only had a very vague stretch of resemblance to Daniel Radcliff, let alone the doctor. The concept alone is too awesome to let specificity stand in it's way. As the internet would say: "Close enough"

Doctor Whooves simply had to be made. Such an opportunity could not be passed up the moment it was spotted. And look what it has brought us so far.

(As an interesting note, Derpy Hooves was created the same way: Through the internet spotting a grand opportunity arise from an unexpected means and running with it. I like to think that's how Derpy and the Doctor got shipped: Those two have something in common to share)

9 DAYS!!!!

@Blue: i actually had the same idea about her name, funnily enough.

of course that’s gonna give him more fanfare than any other background pony.

Are you sure? He's very popular but Derpy, Vinyl and Lyra all seem more popular than him.

Dontmess withme has A nine word name Wrote:

9 DAYS!!!!

…Days you say?

That reminds me, 9 days left and I still haven't started, CRAP! D:

Or Derpy and the Doctor get shipped because the Doctor has a thing for the Derp eyes. And knowing the internet that one seems a bit more valid than something that sounds like it makes too much sense to be real.

I thought it was because one two or so separate occasions Derpy and the Doctor were together, one of which may have been valentimes day.

Like… One sec…

Right there on the bridge, Hearts and Hooves day, romantic location on romantic day. Both having memorable traits. It's practically canon that they at least had a date.

Impossible not to ship.

9 Days Left.

:

Fantastic.

Brilliant performances by Guard #1 and Guard #2. They're way more interesting than Brad Sentry.

Who doesn't have a thing for Derp eyes?
