Maybe the entire Round Stable could get together and make something like that. I'm sure that everyone can contribute something. :)

Well, no offense, but the point is to bring creative efforts together from wellknown and skilled artists/creators from the fandom. You can't get people to buy it if some randos are in it. :v: Besides, not everyone on here is the creative type.

I hope y'all can get "Bound Together" if you can! It's for a good cause, and the book came out great, and there's a ton of wonderful art and comics inside from some of the most talented artists in this fandom. And yes, I did a few things for it.

It's being sent to the printers as we speak.

I just spent my evening at the Minnesota Roller Girls match. Great times.

If you don't know about Roller Girls, each competitor comes up with a stage name and the are referred to as such instead of their normal names. Most of them are puns. However, one of the star players on one of the teams chose the name Scootaloo. :scootawoo:

I wonder how many of today's kids know who she is. At the very least, I'm pretty sure there's a line of perfumes named after her, so maybe she gets some name recognition there.

I knew who Coco Chanel was but that might be because I write for fashion and perfume magazines. Fascinating person.

It's generally a good idea to research what you write about, even if that kinda thing is not going to come up in a magazine that wants to advertise perfume. Coco Chanel was a nazi agent.

To be fair, that side of her really isn't well-known. I didn't know about that until it got mentioned in a few incidental discussions after RTM aired.

Well like I said, it's more a matter of where you get your info from. A perfume magazine will have no interest in discussing that side of Coco Chanel.

I guess he means the way a lot of pony names are usually a noun describing a thing, combined with a (generally somewhat flowery) verb or adjective, as opposed to being made of words used specifically for names. As an example of what I mean, the meaning of "Lauren Faust" is obvious, but use either of those words outside the context of a name and they'd be nonsense; however, both "Twilight" and "Sparkle" have meanings outside of the name of a purple pony.

But both Coco and Pommel have separate meanings? :rariwhat: Pommel could arguably even be connected with fashion in pony world. ^^

"Cocoa" has a meaning, but even that would be stretching it (a chocolate pommel? a chocolate-colored pommel?)... it just doesn't sound like a My Little Pony name; it sounds like they made a generic horse pun out of a real name just like they do with towns and cities. It's not like the writers are bad at coming up with them; "Fancy Pants", "Hoity Toity", and "Photo Finish" were all excellent, creative takes on the formula, and even season four gave us the delightfully G3-esque "Zipporwhill". But there's also been a trend towards human-style names like Mrs. Harshwhinny, Mrs. Peachbottom, and Suri Polomare, and it makes me wonder if people are forgetting what show they're working on.

It's weird to see that FiM popularity is still new to some outlets:

This classic toy from your childhood is suddenly popular again, Fortune.com

"Suddenly" :v: Haven't FiM toys been resurgently successful since season 1?

And it's always refreshing to see non-brony-centered articles around FiM.

Clickbait words in a headline. Short article over a few numbers, some of it might even be auto generated.
That image might have even been the first thing that popped up in a search for "my little pony toys" in Getty Images licensable image database.

Counterpoint (though I'm not sure what this proves): Pony/Donut Joe, and also a lot of the incidental animal names like Hummingway and Harry the Bear and Mr. Beaverton Beaverteeth. :whatsup:

Ooh yeah, good point. I always figured her name was as much of a play on Dinah Shore (even though that doesn't make a lot of sense) as Mulia Mild's was of her namesake. :cheese:

It looks like that was largely sourced from an article in the Wall Street Journal. That article might've talked more about our fandom, but it seems to have vanished behind their paywall, so unless someone here has a WSJ subscription, I can't say for certain.

Completely unrelated to the current topic; I introduced my SO to the show a month or so back, we're currently in the second season and he says he's hooked. He's already coming up with his own theories on characters and story progression, and it is absolutely adorable. I get super excited every evening when it's "Pony-time".
