Master Inika Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Hey, does anybody get how the pony surname system works? Applejack, Apple Bloom, Big MacIntosh, and Granny Smith are all in the Apple family, even if only two of them have Apple as part of their name. The Cutie Mark Chronicles says that they're related to the Oranges. But people talk about Twilight Sparkle as if Twilight is her first name, and Sparkle is her last name.I just assume that some families develop naming traditions (such as AJ's family having an apple theme), while others don't. When marrying into one of these families, a mare may sometimes change her name to honour the tradition, adopting a part of her husband's name. EDIT: Maybe the Apple family is also descended from a broader fruit-farming line of ponies, hence their relation to the Oranges. Over time, each generation's talents became more specific as the population grew.This does make sense, as early humans did that. (Fun fact: The surname Smith comes from how smithing (ironsmith, blacksmith, etc.) was a common profession in the middle ages.) Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times.

Skarloth Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I've been completely against the MLP movement and actively made it clear that I refused to acknowledge it. However, one of my best friends is a brony, and although my other friend in our little trio have been trying to revert him, (we're quite abusive towards each other ) last night he coerced me into watching it. Today, I was welcomed into the herd. Friendship really is magic! TDH, DOOD. I KNOW YOU. WELCOME TO DA HURD, BRAH! -Skar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makaru Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Just listened to "She's a Pony", which is a remix3 of Pinkie's "Grand Galoping Gala" minisong to the tune of Hans Zimmer's "He's a Pirate" from PotC. It is unbelievably addicting. Quote Spoiler Alert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Allegretto~ Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Twilight tries teaching Rarity teleportation, but an accident causes her to get horn rot, which will kill her in a couple weeks unless Rainbow Dash, AJ, and Rarity can go get the last ingredient for Zecora's stew from a place far away from Equestria. That's the general idea, at least. Lot more stuff going on, but the main plot is that Twi's sick, RD, AJ, and Rarity have to save her.

Field Marshal Rakmon Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 After watching both parts of The Return of Harmony, I have decided Discord isn't really evil as much as he is the greatest troll who ever lived. Now excuse me, I need to find a Pinkie pie Trollface. Quote Signature Guidelines: Signature may not exceed the 800x300 limit. For more reference use the box located in your signature editor.

Grant-Sud Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Darn ponies... Just add me to the list already. Also internet fail. I thought the CMCs were pretty good. Their personalities are fine and I love Stare Master and the ep that involves them learning about when the mane cast got their cutie marks.

Scanty Demon Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Note to self: don't take eyes off this topic as it gain between 1-3 pages.New episode and now we'll see how many Luna fanfics got close to her personality.Also is it normal that I have the urge to write a Bionicle MLP FiM crossover?Speaking of Fanfics I can't believe no one has recomended "Mort Takes a Holiday" or "Progress" both are very enteraining.
