The proportions go something like this:

Regular ponies are three heads tall. Fillies are two heads tall. Princess Celestia is five heads tall, while Luna is four heads tall (along with Big Mac and the large draft horses). Regular males are three and a half heads tall.

Well putting aside my accident that ruined the entire weekend for me, Midwest Brony Fest went pretty good. Saturday (wore my fall formal Shining Armor cosplay for this day). Started with Electricalenginerd's tesla coil concert, unfortunately something happened to it and he had to show videos instead. After that I watched Greggo's pony Jeopardy, then attended a panel where someone taking on the role of :hiiiii: showed how to do parties (glad I stood in the back. It was a regular Gallagher show with confetti, glitter, and silly string).

About this time the signup for the cosplay contest started, and I went ahead and signed up. Then it was time for SolraCON, AKA Solrac's ear splitting panel, followed by the big one: Peter and Kelly's panel. Got the whole thing on video. It opened up with dialogue between them and had a lot of funny moments. During the questions someone asked Peter if he could draw Mac's cutie mark. After getting a piece of paper he did, and it was passed around. Then one guy asked Kelly about coming up with her own lines for Wonderbolt Academy, and if she could do a drill sgt. one, at which point she marched over to him yelling in Spitfire's voice, and made him drop and give her twenty! :amazing: Got the entire panel on video.

Then I floated around to various panels until the Military bronies one. During that they played 4 videos, one used Danger Zone and featured aircraft related art, including 2 of mine! :crack: Staying for that panel made me a little late for the cosplay contest, but I still got in. Didn't win anything but the contest had some excelent cosplays, including a beautiful :areyousure: one (won 1st place), a Mexican "creeper" from Minecraft (had a sombreo and poncho. Won "fan favorite"), an equally as beautiful :speakest: , an actual :drpony: , Daring Do, a filly (literally) Twilight that caused some beetus in the crowd, Sweetie Belle and Applebloom (again actual kids).

And this:

Image
:awesomedash:
When he first showed up at the con, it was an instant riot. He was also a winner in the contest. One guy showed up as a member of the NLR military :amazing: , and another as a Solar Empire soldier. At the same time Pyro showed up a little shouting match erupted between them. After the end of the contest a liiiitle war happened between them, and the Celestia and Luna cosplayers. :lol:
Besides Cheese, I was hoping for more S4 cosplayers to show up (especially Flutterbat). Finally in the afternoon not one but 2 :geno: showed up.

After that I went to the autograph session, and then stayed at the rave (DJ'd by LOUDER) for about an hour before heading to my motel.

Day 2.... :fluttersmith: Had a supercell thunderstorm thrown over the whole thing for me, but I still showed up in my NLR Air Force costume, and with nothing going on settled in the vendor room for a bit (showing off my NLR themed aircraft and Zoids). I got up and headed for the main room for the charity auction, only to discover Electricalenginerd had gotten his Tesla coil working, and I caught the end of the performance.
I put a Wonderbolt F-22 model I made in the auction http://lonewolf3878.deviantart.com/art/ ... -453121010 , and wanted to see how it would do.

Before they got to it, they had a signed :eeyup: picture up for grabs. When bidding stopped at $35, suddenly Peter came marching in and took over taking bids, almost turning it into a riot.It wound up going for $150. Then he did the same for a Mac chibi plushie, going as far as to run around the room a couple of times and kissing it to get more bids. It went for $135.
Then my F-22 came up. After a slow start, bidding jumped up, and it went for $135 to a military brony who was an aircraft tech. (and as I was writing this he commented on my DA journal about the con) :yay: Double what my drawing went for last year.
That wasn't the only thing that doubled. This time the auction raked in over 3,000 DOLLARS for Childs Play.
After the closing ceremonies I went out, tried to fix my fender a bit, and went home.

Here's the stuff I got. I had Kelly sign my Funko Spitfire, and Peter my Big Mac comic:

The banner came from Drawponies, and included a free poster.

Luna seems to be about half a head taller than Big Mac at least.

Here's the video I took of Peter showing up at the auction:



And here's a slideshow that just popped up:


I forgot to mention there was also a mother/daughter duo cosplaying :granny: and EqG :hilarious: .

And another video:

This one has some footage of the cosplay contest towards the end, including the Filly Twilight and a back view of me at around 15:20.

The hat also adds a bit of extra height to Applejack too, making her seem a tad bigger.

And as long as we're on the topic of pony sizes, let's not forget that Twilight's neck is slightly longer post-MMC. It's only about a few inches taller, but it's definitely there.

Who says the Wonderbolts even adopt different names? Due to the oddly prophetic qualities of pony names, they usually fit just fine anyway.

One thing that surprised me about Power Ponies was that superheroes are still a thing in Equestrian culture. You'd think that such things would be a bit dull in such a fantasy world. But of course, given that Daring Do can write about her adventures and publish them under a pen name, I suppose most ponies must live lives far more sheltered than those of the Mane Six.

Yeah. It's no different then us really, we have tons of dangerous & crazy creatures in real life, and dangerous people & events that take place, yet we are still entertained by fiction about these things. If we live in a world where hairless apes can make movies about zombie beavers, I see no reason a world of sentient equines can't enjoy super heroes. :gotcha:

Yeah, ponies having fantasy doesn't bother me. In fact, I'd actually like to see a callback to that episode, it was in my top ten for the season.

It's a flash game on Deviantart, and you can make as many ponies as you can.

You can feed them sugarcubes, get their attention with a painted wall, or give them a beach ball to play with.

If there can be such a thing as Too Many Pinkie Pies, it's safe to assume that Too Many Fluttershys can exist as well.

There is no such thing as too many Fluttershies.

Just like there's no such thing as too many Cadances, just look at Shining Armor, he looks happy enough.

Bow to your new ruler(s) Equestria LOVE THEM!
