Random thought.

Blinky —> Bethany

Inky —> Idris

So as an update to something I posted earlier, the poll on Eq D for peoples' favorite episodes is done and here are the top twenty. . .

1. Lesson Zero - Votes: 5160
2. Luna Eclipsed - Votes: 3784
3. Party of One - Votes: 2203
4. Sonic Rainboom - Votes: 1629
5. Winter Wrap Up - Votes: 1400
6. May the Best Pet Win - Votes: 1200
7. The Cutie Mark Chronicles - Votes: 1150
8. Secret of My Excess - Votes: 1057
9. Hearth's Warming Eve - Votes: 1038
10. Sweet and Elite - Votes: 1031
11. Dragonshy - Votes: 846
12. Feeling Pinkie Keen - Votes: 826
13. The Return of Harmony Part 2 - Votes: 800
14. Sisterhooves Social - Votes: 771
15. The Return of Harmony Part 1 - Votes: 691
16. The Best Night Ever - Votes: 624
17. Suited for Success - Votes: 622
18. Family Appreciation Day - Votes: 592
19. Green Isn’t Your Color - Votes: 568
20. Bridle Gossip - Votes: 467

Interestingly enough, they found out that about 2500 of MMDW votes came from the trolling boards. As such about 380 (at the most generous) people genuinely liked MMDW, which actually places it above quite a few other episodes on the list, though there is a general bias in favor of the new episodes.

Another interesting thing to note is that three episodes were so unpopular that they did not even break a hundred votes. They are as follows. . .

36. Call of the Cutie - Votes: 97
37. The Ticket Master - Votes: 95
38. Owl's Well That Ends Well - Votes: 63

Inky -> Indiana Caitlyn Pie !

Blinky -> Bianca Pie ?

Not sure that those three are this unpopular. It's most likely that they didn't struck people as their favorite episode, that's all (you could only vote for one episode IIRC). Although Owlicious' episode is probably the one I liked the less (well, except for the Spiked joke)

Oh, right.

I meant unpopular more in the sense that people liked them the least, rather then people thought that they were genuinely bad.

Wait - just noticed Family Appreciation Day was in it. Reaching almost 600 votes in 2 or 3 days is incredible Oo

Indeed...

Well, Granny Smith is that awesome.

She just looks so darn huggable in dat Bonnet :3

Young! Granny was one of the cutest ponies yet!

It's that Southern Charm, I tells ya. Applejack and Applebloom definitely inherited it

Most certainly. I can't stand the south but the Apples are just so charming.

What about Big Mac?

(Or am I somehow misunderstanding the concept of "Southern Charm"?)

Oh yeah, Young G.Smith was a cutie. It must be the braided hair and the eyes (She has thicker eyelashes than other mares of her age).

The heck kind of charms you talkin' 'bout, Thatch?

I meant kindly and proper and hospitable.

More like I was asking Pan, actually.

Sometimes I'm just lazy with up arrows and quoteblocks, if I think I make sense in context. Looks like this time I wasn't. *shrug*

Yes, him too. But he doesn't really talk a whole lot. He's more of the Straight Man of the Apples, really.

The Apples and the Smiths are pretty cool as far as ponies go in general.

I love the apple family coolest pony family ever.

I'm watching Brainscratchcomms and the Great Clement torture themselves by playing Sonic '06, and the scary thing is that it could have been done so much better with ponies (And actually getting completed and debugged thoroughly and unbroken).

Personally, if Inkie and Blinkie don't have popular fanon full names yet, I'd make them something like:

Inkyria Susan Pie and Blinkavera Vivian Pie.

Why is this so awesome? Or am I just lame?

I like those names!

Well, Inkimera is what I would have gone for, but still!

Inkimera Susan Pie, and Blinkivera Vivian Pie.

@Mio I LOVED Call Of The Cutie

How did they deduce which votes for MMDW were troll votes?

what about their parents?

I know the dad is often called Clyde. Because of Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde.

I haven't decided for their parents yet. (And yes, you're right about Clyde. The mom is Sue).

@Applelight: Thanks for the compliment.

The Mother is often called Sue after a ghost from Ms Pacman I think. Or Roxy.
