And you dont even know when he might appear. Due to the time lord and stuff.

In the northern hemisphere, the first day of spring is March 20. Which would make March 19 Winter Wrap Up.

Did you guys see the post on Equestria Daily from the writer of "The Last Roundup?" In it, she gives quite a bit more info about the whole Derpy thing. It was a really kind thing for her to do in giving us this info, and I hope it'll help dispel some of the lingering GRR RAR feelings.

The fact that she has a disabled son named Soren who has a Wonderbolt named after him was doubly sweet.

I never considered the Derpy incident an incident in the first place. But it's nice that they made an official response.

I just wish a few idiots hadn't made such a shitstorm over it. Like I said earlier, most bronies are awesome, but god, there are some entitled little bastards in this community.

Seriously, I remember when Derpy first got put in the episode, and a bunch of people started complaining about how it didn't match up with their version of the character. I mean, the people who made the show went to a lot of trouble to do that for the fans, and complaining that they got it wrong is just douchy. It's like if somebody gave you your dream car and you started complaining that it was the wrong shade of blue.

Usually the worst members of a community are also the loudest.

considering the origins of the phrase 'bronies', such behaviour is hardly unexpected.

I know that when I saw the episode and not only heard Derpy's name but heard her speak, I did a little happy dance.

Her voice wasn't what I was expecting (and Tabitha admitting that she hadn't realized Derpy was a girl did a lot to explain that), but it was incredibly kind and generous of the show to put in that reference to us. They showed that they know about us, they care about us, and they were willing to do something a little extra for us.

That's a hell of a lot more than a lot of shows do, especially ones with a Periphery Demographic that may instead mock said outside audience. For fans to bitch and moan about Derpy's appearance showed a remarkable lack of graciousness and appreciation.

Anyone here familar with Boycott the Caf, otherwise known as Porpoise of Life now? I've been reading their Degrassi reviews for years, and they've written a few articles on FIM, but they did an episode review the other day. Hope you all enjoy.

Yeah. Much like the Sonic fanbase, it's always the vocal minority that does the worst damage.

The whole Derpy debate doesn't make any sense to me.

Also, Happy Derpy Day, everypony! I couldn't get muffins for today, but I did wite a letter for a friend!

Happy Day-py!

Why is it Happy Derpy Day?

#10195 from Ponyville
It's just Derpy Day, I just added happy because of how it is frequently used in greetings on holidays.

No, I mean, why today of all days is it Derpy Day?

#10197 from Ponyville
I don't know. I think it started on Facebook.

I found a link to the Derpy Day Declaration event on Facebook at EQD. Here is a link to the link. The page itself also lists some things you do on Derpy Day.

However, since it looks like I won't get any muffins today, expect to find me buried under a pile of crates that fell out of a Pegasus cart.

Anyone care to tell me why the first of March is Derpy Day?

When her voiced scene first debuted on 21st of January, a lot of people talked about declaring that date the annual Derpy Day. What special Derpy-related thing has happened on 3.1?

I'm going to my work's cafeteria today for lunch. I might be able to find a prepackaged muffin. If I could find a package of mini muffins, that would be ideal, since I could share them with my friends!

@Kerrah: It started with something on Facebook, I know that much.

I linked to a page on EQD that has a link to the thing on Facebook.

As for why...well, in the words of Cave Johnson...
