Here's what I have to say about the new toys:

Yeah, they kind of annoy me with their irrational hatred of O Cs too. I get tired of seeing a good picture with an OC pony in it and they say "Would fave if not for the OC". It especially bugs me if the OC looks awesome. I mean, people trying to get O Cs canonized like that one guy and his pygmy griffin character I can understand the hate about, but people that just want to make O Cs for fun don't deserve the same treatment.

I don't see any point in claiming that toy names are "cannon", seeing as Celestia is not pink.
It's pronounced "Te-ah-low-ve"

Heartstrings is a cute name.

Heartstrings/Bon-Bon, though, not so much. Doesn't quite roll off the tongue as easily as Lyra/Bon-Bon.

It's just that I'm so used to calling her 'Lyra'...

Oh well. Heartstrings is a pony that looks a lot like Lyra, but is not Lyra. Problem solved.

My patented technique for dealing with fan-dumb: Sigh, roll eyes, shake head, move on.

Overall, just try to be a decent human being even when others aren't.

No seriously, WHAT KIND OF COMMENT SECTIONS ARE YOU GUYS LOOKING AT?

I've never seen anything even remotely like what you guys are describing, and I've been on Rule 34 sites

Heh. I've asked that question before in a slightly different context. tongue

My general view on comments sections is that they're a bad idea, but pony-related ones tend to be slightly better than the norm.

I've seen a few bad ones on ponibooru, but most of them are the form of one or two trolls showing up, and then a mishmash of people taking the bait and other people yelling at the first group of people for taking the bait.

My two coins: fanon is ALWAYS about having fun with Alternative Character Interpretation. Two people's interpretation may differ radically because at the end of the day it's about having fun.

So the people who argue that "fanon should be like this, because that's what just happened on the show" are, while well intentioned, are arguing about nonsense. No-one's making up things because they expect it to overwrite the show. No-one's expecting their fanon to even overwrite other people's fanon. If a person writes a fanfic where Dr. Hooves is a clockmaker (as it happened) you don't flame her because you want there to be a single interpretation.

What happens when things on the show change is that people start making up non-official material about THAT as well. If it contradicts previous fanon, it becomes a source of in jokes. I'm sure everyone is mature enough to come up with their own solution, whether it's sticking with the old or the new name or making up something completely outlandish, but none is less valid.

...

I think the drama is really more about character tags. xD Because some over-enthuastic people may go on a pony site and cause work for each other by changing the tags back and forth.


@Whatshisgame - The ones I recall are Sibsy's comments who said that 'Lyra' sounded silly, and another animator (I forgot the name) saying they use Carrot Top (sometimes Carrot Cake) among themselves. So it's the reverse for me xD (None of that official, of course.)

I think it's fine to call Lyra Lyra. I mean, Heartstring probably won't walk on two legs and live with her friends. (She likes to sing all day!)

(But I like all the Hasbro names, except for maybe Golden Harvest which sounds...weird?)

Obviously she insists we call her Carrot-Top because she prefers it that way :V

We can learn a lesson from Luna here: A lot of people (yes, even here) assumed that everyone who ever had a piece of fanon about her would be upset about her canon interpretation. I'm sure that some were unhappy, but in the grand scheme of things, Luna came and went with hardly a ripple. Pretty much everyone liked her, and those who prefer their own interpretation will probably just continue to write or draw whatever they want. After all, there's still enough gaps in her history for people to make stuff up.

It's always fun to expect the worst, but like I said, people can surprise you.

Okay. My opinion on the new names:

Heartstrings: It's nice. I like "Lyra Heartstrings" as a full name even better though as some people have stated.

Berryshine: Berry Punch does sound better. But Beryshine is one word. If she's usually called Berry for short, then Punch can still be her surname.

Noteworthy: Don't really mind, but "Noteworthy Blues" sounds decent as has been mentioned.

Golden Harvest: Agreed that this is just wierd. Also, Carrot Top has been mentioned as used behind the scenes. And they can't really be joined together. I prefer Carrot Top, but I accept Golden Harvest's canonicity, so like some, I say that she realised that her name is wierd and asks people to call her by her nickname.

Good point fanOn is about having fun. Not imposing our will on the writers.
