He made a Panda-pony based on Pandaman, and had it acting sexually creepy towards Belle Eve (the NeoGAF pony created by careksims) in homage to the inappropriate pic Pandaman posted which caused the first meltdown of this thread.

Should have been Rainbow, fitting with Rarity's song.

I'm back from A-kon! It was a lot of fun, but the highlight had to be the brony meetup. The whole thing was really disorganized; the meeting place posted on Equestria Daily was really unclear. Thankfully on day of the con, I saw a bunch of people in a hallway corner looking semi-organized with a ton of MLP shirts on. (Aside: really disappointed at the lack of merchandise there. I thought for sure it would have a bigger presence!). Apparently I'd found them because thye had gotten kicked out of their original meeting place in the food court for leading too many singalongs, heh. Thankfully, after waiting in the hallways for a few minutes, we got hold of a con organizer and he found us an empty panel room we could take over.
The bronies there were... pretty much what you'd expect from the online communities. Very friendly, motivated as hell to produce fanworks (I saw a ton of great artists just doodling stuff... and more impressive stuff, which I'll cover below), and creative, if just the slightest bit autistic. A chorus of farewells followed whenever anyone had to depart from the group to other parts of the con, and on the whole, the easygoing nature of cons where you can walk up to nearly anyone and strike up a conversation over similar interests was amplified.
The highlight definitely had to be this, though:
A pony board game, made by the bronies at the con! It was a simple trivia game, but a lot of fun. Roll a die, if you get a trivia question right, you get to move the number of spaces listed. Oh yeah, and if you're stumped, you can ask another team for help, and if correct, both teams got to move forward one space... because friendship is magic. First to reach Canterlot wins. Team Wonderbolts, controlling Rainbow Dash, unfortunately did not win, but I had a lot of fun trying! THe questions were really well done (What episode was Zecora mentioned in but did not appear in? What did the three bullies in Sonic Rainboom have in common?), but we got killed by a guy who apparently used the episodes as timing in TF2- he'd play it in the background, and whenever something specific happened he knew it was time to start pushing a control point.
Oh, and cosplayers of best ponies.

C'mon, now... join the herd!
Fandom has remained surprisingly active considering the downtime. More Belle Eve awesomeness from careksims. Awesome fan made videos. That's about it.

A lot of these have been posted in the thread already, and a lot of them are small screen caps from PonyChat but I took the liberty to collect all of the Belle Eve pics I could and upload them in a zip for everyone. Here it is:

http://www.mediafire.com/?01y5w1y3bfb4f9j
I can upload this to another site if MU is giving anyone "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." problems, as mentioned to me in PonyChat. What site should I use if I do so?

This is so true. And it's kind of weirding me out.Pandaman said:
Celestia predicted and manipulated Twilight's friendships with the mane cast.
Celestia predicted and likely manipulated Nightmare Moon's escape.
By giving Twilight false prophecy and then hiding in the Sun, Celestia manipulated Twilight into attacking Nightmare Moon, who hadn't even done anything.
Celestia caused the Nightmare Moon situation in the first place by being insensitive to Luna's emotional needs. And Celestia's eventual solution was getting someone to beat Luna up and make her cry.
Characterizing Celestia as being somewhat insensitive and something of a fun-loving troll, with no real malice behind her actions, and with regret for her mistakes, is actually complimentary, and makes her a much more interesting character than some perfect Princess/Queen who cries herself to sleep every night because her jealous little sister hates her.
I'm glad canon is on my side.

Most probably, but it's just a sketch anyway, so I don't care ^^Ellis Kim said:
To offset the Celestia/Nightmare Moon comic, have an adorable Fluttershy comic:
Being in Europe sucks. All the fun tinychat stuff happens when I'm asleep.
And while we're on the topic of Belle pics, I made the dancing gif into an animated spray if anyone wants to use it in TF2 or another Valve game.

Finally a chance to talk about ponies rather than pony fans! Thank you so much!ruby_onix said:
I agree with Ruby_Onix regarding Celestia's character, but I don't discard the possibility of something having gone wrong with Luna's imprisonment that caused her captivity to last for a thousand years, even against Celestia's wishes. With the information we have, it's impossible to know the true motivations and circumstances behind that millennium. Other than speculation and fan fiction, we can only hope that season 2 will shed some light on this and all the backstory between Celestia and Luna.
What we can do, is compile a list of Celestia's possible covert prankster antics, and score them according to prank likeliness:
Episodes 1-2, "Friendship is Magic"
- Having Twilight go to Ponyville under the pretext of "making friends", when her real goal was to gather the "Elements of Harmony". Myke's Likeliness Score: 100% (it's canon)
- Deliberately disappearing by her own volition during the Summer Sun Celebration to set the stage for Nightmare Moon's appearance, Twilight and company's quest, and the confrontation at the old castle, reappearing when her sister had already been brought to her knees. MLS: 50% (it's possible because Nightmare Moon never mentions Celestia's absence)
Episode 3, "The Ticket Master"
- Sending Twilight only 2 tickets on purpose, to make her learn a lesson about sharing. MLS: 70% (there's always the possibility that this was standard for the invitations that were sent, and the formal tone of the message read by Spike seems to point that way, but I find it hard to believe that Celestia wouldn't send Twilight a personalized invitation)
- Sending Spike a ticket only after the mane cast had theirs. MLS: 50% (I actually think Celestia is sometimes a bit absent-minded and briefly forgot about Spike)
Episode 10, "Swarm of the Century"
- Knowing all about parasprites, and arranging for an invasion just as she was scheduled to visit Ponyville. MLS: 20% (her astonishment at Pinkie's stunt seems to point away from this, even though the coincidence of a similar infestation occurring simultaneously elsewhere is suspicious)
Episode 15, "Feeling Pinkie Keen"
- Dropping out of the sky to scare Spike. MLS: 50% (this was hilarious, but she could have been just passing by and took the chance to pick that message)
Episode 16, "Sonic Rainboom"
- Having the sun burn Rarity's wings, making her fall to her death. MLS: 10% (I refuse to accept that Celestia would do something that put someone's life in danger strictly for her own amusement, unless there were actually other intentions behind this act)
Episode 22, "A Bird in the Hoof"
- Intentionally omitting the fact that Philomena is a Phoenix, making Fluttershy despair when the bird turns to ashes on her hooves. MLS: 40% (she couldn't have predicted that Fluttershy would forcibly try to nurse Philomena back to health... could she?)
Episode 26, "The Best Night Ever"
- Ruining the Grand Galloping Gala by bringing in six strong-willed ponies with high expectations who were all maladjusted to Canterlot's high society. MLS: 90% (the only question about this is, did the disruption go too far beyond what Celestia had planned?)

Well, that and our own fan works.
No problem, I'll take over, if PonyGAF doesn't mind. You just go ahead and do what you have to do.Ookami-kun said:

Just wanted to drop in and say that we discovered this show in the last 2 weeks. So good. My daughter loves it, and I'm not ashamed to say I'm enjoying it.
And no, I'm not turning in my man card.
Also I started reading this thread from start, I'm only 40 pages in but my god the laughs.
