flying before scoots i see
Rainbow Dash: Long live the Princess. *shoves*
In her dreams. Literally.
Luna look majestic as fuck in that picture
One where that gif from?
Predictions, eh whats happening with the show. Hopes? Luna/Celestia episode.
So the MLP Comic Con event is on Friday. Any last predictions? Unfortunately, I imagine that in terms of announcements, it will be dominated by Rainbow Rocks details and maybe an official announcement for Equestria Academy, since it's starting to seem more like the 2015 date for season 5 is the real deal. Any big season 5 details will probably come from the Q&A session. In terms of clips, we already know we're getting Rainbow Rocks clips, and we may get Equestria Academy clips. I get the suspicion that we won't even get animatics for season 5 like we did for season 4. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, though.
Also,

Also,
It looks like there's just barely enough room on that stage for those three ponies.
And just so Princess Celestia doesn't feel left out:

Well, you posted a non pony picture. I see human pinkie, but I have no clue who the hell that smiling person is supposed to be.

Got it from another forum, don't know the original source. Well, I mean, it's obviously from one of those stage shows they do for kids, but I don't know any specifics.
Anyway, you guys remember a while ago when they started releasing "micro comics", with shrunken down versions of the micro-series comics packaged with a poster, stickers, and a tattoo? The second set has come out. The only micro-series issues left are the CMC and Spike... I'm guessing they aren't going to get one of these. I like how they somehow managed to choose the Luna comic cover that has her season 1 design; seriously, why do they keep insisting on using that design in merchandising?
Also, Hasbro earnings report. The company as a whole missed its mark, but its girls toys division is doing well.

A silly Ask Applejack tumblr
A tumblr that leads up to the last .MOV series, the Magic.MOV seems so much more epic with this tumblr side story.

Ask Velvet? It is think for a more mature public, but it is not explicit or something like this. More than that, the story and characters are very good.
Ask Velvet is like a sitcom, so, I believe its OK to post it here.

Brenda Kicky has posted a few preview glimpses of the CMC/Discord/Fluttershy adventure in time and space.
Adorability is going to be off the charts.

Just read Friends Forever #7, with Luna and Pinkie. It was a good issue, but I honestly thought the scenes with Twilight were a lot more interesting and funnier than the ones with Pinkie. Her scenes had great moments like Spike falling off the ladder, Twilight catching him, and putting him right back at the top of the ladder. Meanwhile, Pinkie's parts just sort of felt like Pinkie being relatively calm. It's nice to see that Pinkie didn't abandon her friends from "Party of One" even though she's no longer depressed. I liked the way Celestia was presented. Luna, to be honest, felt a bit bland, despite all of her yelling. Still, none of the characters were bad.

I thought FF7 would have benefited from not wasting time with Twilight. It takes a third of the issue just to get Luna and Pinkie together. I also thought the Funny Farm was over the top, even for pinkie.
All that being said, the issue redeems itself with the joke training in Canterlot and the ending. Not the best issue of FF, but it was certainly time well spent.

FF7 was aight. I feel none of the FF series have been amazing but none have been terrible either (I skipped #1). However it's the third or fourth time they put a cameo of the imp thing from the Rainbow Dash micro and it always rustles my jimmies when I see them >_>
I gave up searching for a physical copy of issue #13 by the way (ebay copies too expensive). Is comixology the best digital choice?
I'd agree with this, they're all just OK in my opinion. This one felt a little bit stuck in the past to me; the Luna here is straight out of "Luna Eclipsed", both in the way she acts towards others and the way others act towards her. The whole Rocky/Sir Lintsalot/Madame LeFlour thing was a surprisingly distant callback too.
Comixology is great. I've got a few dozen issues on my account now, and it all works really well (especially if you've got a tablet to read on).

Apparently that Applejack chapter book that came out a bit ago actually talks about her mother for a bit: Applejack gets a journal that belonged to her mother and she's nervous about receiving it, and it's mentioned that her mother was an artist.
Anyway, SDCC stuff!
First, the Shapeways 3D printer stuff
Then a bunch of Equestria Girls stuff
Then other stuff

And we have our first official clips of Rainbow Rocks! ... I don't like the song. Since I'm in the process of watching Littlest Pet Shop (toward the end of season 2; show's eh, but it was better in season 1 and I hear season 3 is better), I'll say it sounds like a low-grade version of one of the Bisket Twins songs from that show. In fact, as I try to recall the song, it just sort of transitions into "Two for One" in my mind. Also, wow, it's really obvious that Adagio has the same singing voice as Rarity (unless that isn't the case, in which case ignore that statement).
I guess it's good that Sunset Shimmer is being portrayed as genuinely resentful, but from what little we see, she's just kind of boring now. She's as mopey as people thought Luna would be before season 2. Also, it's odd that the previews show nothing about Twilight when the synopsis on theater listings talk about her returning.
And I guess the villains are sirens or something.

It's Nanami and her entourage from Utena.
Two For One was the best thing in LPS.
I never noticed a drop in season 2, but then again, I'm rooting for the Biskit Twins to destroy the LPS Universe, so that might have something to do with it.
Season 1 - Sadly, the universe was not destroyed.
Season 2 - Sadly, the universe was not destroyed.
Season 3 - Third time's the charm!

Trailer on YouTube, but the clip still isn't. Well, it might be if you search for it, I don't know.
EDIT: Clip on Dailymotion.
Anyway, it's the day of the panel!

Great, another Luna episode. Can't give one to Celestia after 5 season, but lets give Luna a 4th episode.
More Coco and Maud though. Celestia can wait.
Who do you do you think they were talking about when she mentioned characters that are "mainly in the background" as in not always in the background. I'm predicting she's talking about a Celestia and Luna episode.

Confirmation of a Luna episode does not confirmation of lack of a Celestia episode make.
I want a Celestia episode too. Hell, I want an animated episode version of Zen and the Art of Gazebo Repair and Reflections more than anything, but at least a Celestia episode seems more likely.
I think it's just another Luna episode.
Animatic is up. I'm intrigued.

Yeah, maybe Celestia helps her deal with it. Either way, more Luna is always nice.

Meghan has shown the last two seasons that she does not care for Celestia. While she is welcome to prove me wrong, I expect her to allow Celestia to do nothing but get captured and give exposition as she has since Meghan took over.

I thought the ending could have been improved and was a bit rushed, but I thoroughly enjoyed it otherwise. There have been very few issues of the comics I haven't enjoyed. And part of it is because they do something with Celestia like Season 1 and Season 2 did. They never resort to just having her get captured again. Even when she isn't the focus, at least they make a point to say what she is doing and why she isn't helping the mane 6.
Celestia isn't a main character. I don't expect every episode to be about her, or for her to even show up in every episode. But there's a big difference between her presence in the show in S1/S2 and S3/S4. And with Luna now getting a second full episode, and having a major role in two other stories since S2, it's all the more glaring that Celestia has gotten squat.
While the show and the comics both excel at the slice of life stories, the comics have vastly surpassed the show when it comes to adventure stories.
This is very interesting. I like the
new map in Twilight's castle
the little settlement seems neat too - equals symbols for cutie marks
I don't know. S1 completely forgot that Luna existed after the pilot. Recognizing that, they built a great Halloween-themed episode around her in S2. And then they literally forgot that she existed again. But they remembered at the last minute, so they quickly edited her into A Canterlot Wedding with the same skill they used to remove Derpy post Derpygate.
S3 seemed to forget that Luna existed a third time, and skipped a perfect setup for Luna in favor of Zecora. (Hey, my friend has been overwhelmed by feelings of jealousy and dark Alicorn magic. Celestia is stated to be out of town? Oh, then I guess there's nobody else who could help with that...)
But then in the very next episode, they gave Luna a new trick, having her participate in dreams. S3 had one with Scootaloo, S4 had one with Sweetie Belle, and S5 is probably going to have one with Apple Bloom.
I don't think that's enough to start worrying that Celestia is being mishandled compared to Luna.
I still need to read more comics.
