Twilight Sparkle's name is incredibly meaningful. Wow.

"Guys, we need to talk. I have...something I've been needing to tell you."
guys> ?
"I'm..."
guys> You're gay? Transgender? WHAT ARE YOOOOU?
"I'm a brony! ;~;
guys> oh you've got to be kidding me, that's it? That's what you've been needing to tell us?
"Uh, yeah? It's been eating at me for a while, and I needed to tel-"
guys> jeez, I thought this would be something serious. Nobody cares what you watch, unless they're stupid.
ALSO!

This is not the Korra thread, quit talking about it in here.

It actually went nothing like that.

I introduced it as sort of a comic relief to lighten the mood on rough news from my sister. It was appropriate.

Up until now I was seeing the episodes somewhat out of order, because Comcast On Demand made their availability ever-changing, AND labeled them all by episode name and NOT by episode number. Anyway, I'm watching the series on Netflix now, which is nice because it actually pays ATTENTION to episode order and makes it easy to watch them correctly.

Tonight I watched the first two episodes in the series, which I hadn't seen before. Not bad! I can see why bronies managed to find the series. It's simple but not condescending, and it appeals to the age-old story-telling devices of "party of companions on a quest" and "facing the <insert number> trials." Both of those date back to the days of bardic tales, and can be seen in more modern classics that we all remember, like The Wizard of Oz.

And besides, the first two episodes certainly seem like they would appeal to Zelda fans, in that they cover a multi-part quest to find and unify the elements of an ancient force. Sound familiar?


That's all for now. I'm a little disappointed that nobody responded to my post about Derpy, though.

That's a very interesting interpretation!

Nobody really wants to talk about her right now with all the weird stuff going on. But in response to your actual post, Ditzy Doo and Derpy Hooves were confirmed as being separate characters on account of in S2E14 - The Last Roundup, Rainbow Dash actually referred to her as "Derpy". This was later changed, however, because Hasbro didn't think the portrayal of Derpy's character was particularly p.c. The other issue (well, some people call it an issue. I personally am happy with it) is that Derpy's design appeared on a blind-bag toy under the name "Bubbles". Some fans were upset by this name. I honestly saw no problem with it, since it was a name that part of the fanbase had been using to refer to her for quite a while.

NO IT'S A TRAP

Finally saw the season finale. It was... Magnificent. Also, burst out laughing at some points because me and my friend kept saying "shipping shipping shipping" at random intervals during the episode, and the best part was when we started saying it when Pinkie Pie said "DO ME!" Oh Lord, my sides. OH NO I SPOILED THAT PINKIE PIE TALKS

Spoiler

ALSO LYRA TALKING. THIS IS BEST THING.

Well, it's just basic stuff that appears in good shows and movies everywhere, kinda like the four humors. Although I think I've just been watching too much Cracked After Hours...

I honestly saw no problem with it, since it was a name that part of the fanbase had been using to refer to her for quite a while.

Although I have no idea what this "weird stuff" is since I'm not up to date, I totally respect that there could be more interesting stuff going on.

That's one interpretation of the two different names, but I read a statement from one of the writers that Derpy's name was changed because of concerns about offensiveness. But it was only a few seconds of the episode, so who knows whether they'll stick with it. Part of me wishes they'd just leave it obscure so fans can continue to create their own interpretations.

As for "Bubbles," I think that was just some marketing/toy design executive trying to slap a name on a hitherto unnamed background pony in order to market her as a unique character, for "Gotta Catch 'Em All" value. Not worth getting upset about, because it was too far removed to cite as canon.

[ShadowTiger]

People creating their own interpretations was what got "Derpy" canon in the first place. I wouldn't be surprised if this was an effort to put a band-aid on that, or at least to show that efforts like that can go too far. A tiny change for a tiny problem.


Anyway, I've wanted to do this for the longest time now.

[Moonbread]

I love how they got Berry Punch to be the one who acts shocked when the mug gets knocked out of her hoof XD

[ShadowTiger]

Now I guess I have to start paying attention to individual people now.


Oh. Oh dear. This.

Also, completely aside, this was very well done.

They're right, you know.



I like these charts.


I swear they did this on purpose.



I don't even know what Derpy is anymore. ._.


Hahaha what is this?!




I couldn't resist.


... somehow I still couldn't resist. O.o

So in all my years of internetting around, I never thought I would encounter such a truly powerful, raw, and emotive force like this. I just had to say something about it.

I just watched these two videos. Coupled with being fully perceptive of the context through which they are offered, they put forth a very persuasive, thought-provoking sense of uplifting positivity and support. It can be applied to the scenario as it is, or to any other situation that calls for such love and tolerance, be it transforming the negative into a positive, or maintaining the pristine glow of the already positive.

-

People actually put all of that together for a fictional character. They spent hours and hours of their free time to assemble those messages for a semi-anthropomorphic being that does not exist, yet exists in a state of dire need. Their call had been answered, and answered with bravado.

Any decent person would find that difficult to ignore.



...

I didn't think the Derpy issue was such a big issue until I realized that it wasn't just about one character; it was about letting people be who they are, and being happy for them because they're more than just a set of attributes, be they amusing or otherwise.
