Week of Lyra: Defcon 3 · 4:43pm Jul 4th, 2018

Today is all about Bon-Bon!

That's enough Bon-Bon for now, moving on to Heartstrings level Orange, we're looking at all the youtube legacy left behind by out minty monstrocity!

First up is the one I can't make a blog without: Anthopology

Anthropology

There are dozens of different renditions, animations, and remixes upon remixes of this, but few have the same as the original animatic.

This makes me want to learn to animate more than anything else just so I could realise it's full potential, because hot damn.

And of course we have the awesome remix by Yoka the Changeling to put a new funky vibe to best pones.

Ponies with Hats by BogyleBronies

Moving on, this second video has probably had a huge influence on how I characterise Lyra. It also features Bon-Bon, Cinder! In her spiffy hat, Bon-Bon makes a big deal out of Lyra's perfectly average mid-morning snack.

As you can probably tell, these are based on the existing web series, Llamas in Hats, applying the age-old metric of take something and add ponies to make it better. This one is... objectively better. Because it has Lyra.

Though the original is finished, e have yet to see the rest of Ponies with Hats due to a hiatus on BogyleBronies' [1] channel.
They have a certain foll up to this, though, entitled Ponies with Hats 2 where Bon-Bon and Best Pony argue over spilled ships. Eeyup, totally original.

I actually really like the new voices they got there.

Lyra's Gift by AgrolChannel

Agrol

I see this name everywhere. I swear he has a tumblr and derpibooru account as well, there's just so much content, and it's all adorable. Also all strangely quiet.
