Is Pinkie Pie an Anon? I think Pinkie Pie is an Anon. And that's why they're going after drug cartels now.

I just wondered, does "Pony Joe" get his name from the slang term for coffee, which is a drink often associated with donuts? Because if that's the case, then one could say that even he has a name that is also a common noun (at least in slang).

Party Of One was a massive step in the right direction, since it humanized her. It still didn't work for me entirely because of the way she reset at the end, rather than actually coming to terms with the fact that she's insanely co-dependant

It wasn't like in Lesson Zero where Twilight truly realized how bad she fucked up at the end.

So I'm curious. The Fi M wikia is current having a minor revolt because the admins changed the names of the articles on background ponies to reflect the blindbag toys despite not looking much like them. What's going to be the policy here?

I like to think that we're a more laid-back bunch. Usually.

It would be funny if Derpy turned out to have some really fancy formal name (something Derpington the Third, for example.)

Pronounced "Sid-zellia"

Notice how we REALLY didn't care much when Canon!Luna appeared?

Hopefully, something similar will happen here

People are complaining on Lauren Faust's deviantart page about the pony toy names. YOU SILLY DEVILS.

#35133 Crowfall Wed, 2nd Nov '11 8:04:01 PM

Yes. Quite.

Yeah, people need to chill the fuck out. It isn't like they're forcing you to use those names, if you really prefer the old ones then go ahead.

I decree we stick to Fan Nicknames when talking about the show characters until the show itself says otherwise on the basis they don't use the name "Flower Wishes" for Daisy. I've already made it so

on the Background Ponies page

People can fan nickname all the ponies "Motherfucker" for what it's worth. But complaining to someone who didn't have much (if anything) to do with merch, and who is no longer working on the show is just silly.

#35137 Crowfall Wed, 2nd Nov '11 8:12:02 PM

Several seasons from now people are still going to be pestering her with questions about the show that she can't possible know the answer to. Come on fandom, I know she was sort of the face of the show, but different people are involved with different parts of the show. Put a little effort into finding the right person to ask whatever question it is you have.

#35138 Space Jawa Wed, 2nd Nov '11 8:12:06 PM from Right Here from Right Here

It's funny, because after the seemingly positive reaction that the fandom had to Canon!Luna vs. all the established fan fiction, I'd think there wouldn't be nearly this kind of reaction to pony toys that resemble background characters getting names that conflict with the fanon names for said background characters.

Never cared much for the BG ponies (at least not to the point of bitching over their names) The way I see it:

Bon Bon's a jerk

Lyra's psychotic

Berry Punch is a drunk (for some reason)

don't know much about the others

^Bonbon might be a jerk, but why is Lyra psychotic? All she's done is say 'hi' to Twilight, bounce around happily, and look bummed when she got her cake eaten.

Oh, and think she's a human.

I'm a college student! I don't have time for this!

#35143 Crowfall Wed, 2nd Nov '11 8:18:36 PM

Lyra is psychotic? What is this from? Or are you referring to her desire to be human?

Actually, Bon Bon is pretty nice in all the fan work I've seen her in, which is ironic since she's the backgrounder with the most canon characterization and she's sort of a bitch.

BLUH, ninjas

Psychotic just means "out of touch with reality" I think

I guess it depends on how seriously she thinks she's a human

I only go from what I see in the show

Oh geez, are they really?

I actually haven't seen much teeth-gnashing directed as Hasbro. Most seem to content to just shrug and carry on using the Fan Nicknames. Seems like the bronies are pretty split between being illogical and logical right now.

I'll admit Golden Harvest seems a bit out of place, probably because it just doesn't sound as cutesy as the others.

I kinda like Golden Harvest. Carrot Top is a badass and she deserves a more impressive name

I feel like pointing out that it's kind of a leap to go from "slouched on a bench once" to "wants to be a human".

'Bonbon Heartstrings', on the other hand, is a silly name.

You're right. Her full name ought to be "Bonbon Sbakingcookiesgirlshurryuponover"!
