Adorable.
I love how neatly the whole Sweetie Drops/Bon Bon issue can be solved in the Slice of Life universe.
BEHOLD, QUEEN CHRYSALIS AND HER MAGNIFICENT RUBBER-BAND PAPER CROWN!
I could totally see this becoming a popular in-joke.

Celestia + Cake and untrustworthy Applejack in the same comic? Perfect.

From Ego's tumbler.
From left to right: Bonnie, Bombe, Bon Suite, Bonelle, Bon-Bond, Bonita, Sweetie Drops, Bon-Bon (and, of course, Lyra
[And then their story]
Okay! In descending order of age (eldest to youngest):
Bonnie is the grumpiest of them all. Shes rude, mean-spirited, and doesnt ask before using everypony elses stuff (e.g., in this page shes hanging out in Bon-Bons room and using her hoof-file. Bon-Bon still hasnt gotten through all those apples). Then again, she did grow up with six identical younger sisters, so maybe that explains some of it. She ostensibly takes care of the house, but doesnt really do a very good job. Her cutie mark is three sour candies.
Bombe is basically the definition of a cloud-cuckoo-lander. Who likes ice cream. A lot. Shes the artist in the family; her paintings are critically hailed as masterpieces of modern art, but she prefers to live a simple life in Ponyville (or maybe she hasnt noticed, the jury is out). Her cutie mark is an abstract medley of color and form that provides sharp contrast to the flank behind it, inviting the viewer to contemplate it as not only a work of art, but a piece of the artists very soul. By complete coincidence, it happens to look exactly like candy.
Bon Suite is not exactly grumpy, she more just doesnt care about much except her flowers. The only sister who can really get through to her is Bonelle, probably because shes willing to put up with Bon Suite talking about flowers all the time. She takes care of the gardens around the Bon cottage, although shes let it get sort of out of hoof. Her cutie mark is round flower seeds with wings, to represent how her love of gardening makes her heart take flight. and, uh, theyre blue- and yellow-striped for some reason.
Bonelle is a chef and baker. She does most of the cooking for the Bon family, although her real passion is breads (the big red thing outside their house is her bread oven, lets pretend I drew it better). Shes quiet and mostly keeps to herself, except for her PFF Bon Suite, and is probably the second-least grumpy Bon. Her cutie mark is three wrapped bread rolls.
Bon-Bond is [REDACTED]
Bonita is snappish, but mostly because shes exhausted from working long hours at her banana stall. Shes dedicated to her work and an aggressive salespony who has a hold on 52% of the banana sales in Ponyville. Her cutie mark is three banana slices, wrapped in her business distinctive blue-and-yellow gift wrap.
Bon-Bon is the least grumpy! She can be irritable sometimes, but shes mostly cheerful and willing to work with other ponies. Her cutie mark represents her love of making candy; she specializes in difficult-to-make sweets, like bubble-truffles. Lyra has given her an appreciation for classical harp music (luckily, Lyra already had an appreciation for candy).
Sweetie Drops is an attention-seeker. She always wants her name to be on everything.Her cutie mark represents how she thinks blue and yellow should stay separate, because she hates green.
I think that's just the "mask thing" they're doing with the new toys. Something to do with me being very disappointed when Sunset Shimmer doesn't replace Twilight Sparkle as the main character.
It is a remarkably cheap-looking mask though.
BEHOLD, QUEEN CHRYSALIS AND HER MAGNIFICENT RUBBER-BAND PAPER CROWN!
amazing.

I haven't had a chance to thank you guys for pointing out "Slice of Life." I am typically not very fond of fan works, but this comic is amazing! I love the way she explained the whole Bon Bon thing. Wonderful stuff.
Did someone say bat pony?
...annnnnnnd now it's weird.
It really is amazingly good, isn't it? I'm not usually a fan-work guy either, but the whole thing is just so damn professional; the art is fantastic, the writing is clever and well-paced, the characters are funny and true to their TV counterparts, etc etc. Definitely one of my favourite things to come out of the community.
Hard to tell. Pretty sure the only known Bat Ponies are Luna's personal guard, and they've only appeared in the show once. I can't imagine Luna would let disease carrying bat-pony hybrids pull her carriage.
Not sure about the vampirism.

SDCC 2013 MLP Panel Exclusive Season 4 Clip
No actual animation, just storyboards with voicework and partially finished sound. Anyway, some interesting stuff in there:

A Scootaloo episode where they adress her inability to fly
Apple family song
Spike wakes up in Maretropolis and finds that the mane 6 have become superheroes. Dream sequence perhaps?
Luna transforming into Nightmare Moon in a pretty epic fashion. Some sort of time travel at work?

Well, I'm hyped.
Can't say I'm particularly fond of the Scootaloo can't fly addressment, but if its happening, its happening. Also, everything else, so awesome!
Applejack's song sounds really awesome!
Looks like Twilight will be keeping her wings, so the speculation of her turning back to a unicorn in the first two episodes of season 4 seem unlikely.
Some of that stuff actually sounds really good.
I should watch EQG at some point...

I think people are jumping to conclusions about that Scootaloo bit. It came off much more as a "late bloomer" thing than a disabled thing to me.

Page theme will be Fillies
Some really neat stuff in there! I'm always up for CMC episodes, and more focus on Scoots sounds great (especially after how good Sleepless in Ponyville was). I wonder if they got Corey Powell back to write that one?
Really liked the Apple Family plus Pinkie song (Apples to the Core?), and the idea of an AJ/Pinkie episode is really exciting. I love the episodes with unusual character matchups and I don't think we've really had much AJ/Pinkie thus far.
The Spike/Superponies stuff was pretty wild by MLP standards. Looking forward to seeing what that's about. As for the Luna/Nightmare Moon sequence... pretty badass. I think you've nailed it with the time travel suggestion. Can't wait to see more of that!

EDIT: Wow, loads of interesting stuff in the Q&A too! Personal highlights:
Agree. Maybe that is the bloomer episode.
I know that is a filly page, but that image is very good to let it pass.
I will put only a link, since it can be considered a spoiler from S4, but it impress me how fast the bronies are to make fanart, look below:

About two years ago, someone asked Lauren "Why can't Scootaloo fly?", and Lauren answered "No reason. She just hasn't figured it out yet."
More recently, a guy working backstage at a con claimed that he asked her the same question, and she told him that Scootaloo was disabled, she just never got around to writing that episode, and she's not in charge anymore, so Meghan might write something different. Since then, a number of people have been jumping on the Scoots=disabled bandwagon, and pestering Meghan on twitter to make her disabled.

Oh for fuck's sake
Hadn't thought about it, but it's interesting they've never touched on that before.
Thankfully Meghan will have been on Twitter long enough by now to be skilled in the art of tuning out annoying fans.

It is odd that Scootaloo gets flack for not being able to fly, but no one bats an eye at Sweetie Belle not using any magic.

She used magic the first time she had a scene. edit- Maybe I'm remembering this wrong.

HD VERSION: SDCC 2013 MLP Panel Exclusive Season 4 Clip
Should watch this or just avoid the internet for the next 8 months
I think that would be very interesting actually, and not just from a "WAT ABOUT DISABLED PPL" standpoint. The only problem is it would totally come from left field and we'd have no reason to think she ever was disabled, which is different from late-bloomer.
I'll stay away from S4 spoilers this time.
maybe i'll read them later
The folly of blackout policies.
I already watch 3 times. That new song is amazing!
Season 4 can easy be A LOT better than 3. At least all episodes show in that video looks better than all episodes of season 3, except the magic duel.

So excited after watching those season 4 clips!
And poor Scoots! It looks like they are going to deliver on one of Lauren Faust's concepts about Scootaloo:
. Does this begin airing in September?
I love that new Apple Jack (best mane 6 pony) song! Seems like an interesting idea too, putting Pinkie Pie on a road trip with the Apples. I wonder if they are going to Pinkie's rock farm? And a flash back where we see Luna transform into Nightmare Moon? Oh, man. Can't wait!

It's said to be coming in Winter....I'm assuming November.

Volume 13 of the comic will be Pirate themed.
They also mentioned there will be a Celestia and Luna pirate cover.

It's unlikely not a flashback. NMM is speaking to Celestia in that scene and not Twilight. Besides I think that's the old castle seen in s1e2.
