Truly A Singular Case.

Feb 03, 2012 12:55

Hello, everyone! Here is a pretty great My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic-style pony creator. I propose that we all create pony versions of our favourite fictional characters and then post them in the comments here.

(There is an option for importing a cutie mark image on the creator, but it resizes images oddly, so you may find it easier to add ( Read more... )

audience participation, fanfiction, my little pony, final fantasy, final fantasy xiii, what the hell riona, holmes and watson: they fight crime!

I have a Viking pony:

Awesome! I get the impression that the Viking pony's horn is more for impalement than for magic.

...is there any particular reason Charles II is a winged unicorn?

dracothelizard February 3 2012, 20:02:42 UTC

Well, naturally it's for impalement. It's also handy to magically set fire to monasteries.

Charles II is a winged unicorn, because he's a King. He's useless at flying and doing magic, though.

And now that we have established that there is no canon word for winged unicorns, I give you Dr. Ben Goldpony in the infinite whiteness of nothing, being very unimpressed in a labcoat, and Prof. Brian Coxpony staring wistfully into space.

Goldacre's hair is perfect! And I'm frankly amazed by how much that pony looks like Professor Brian Cox.

dracothelizard February 3 2012, 22:50:50 UTC

I spent SO LONG trying to find the right hair. So annoying. Fortunately, finding the right ridic curly hair for Goldacre was easier :D. I even resisted the urge to just give him Pinkie Pie's mane.

Laughed out loud for 5 minutes. Those are brilliant.

dracothelizard February 5 2012, 22:29:25 UTC

SPEAKING of Goldacre, did you see when he linked to my fanfic on Twitter a month ago? Twice? And assumed Robin Ince bummed him in it?

rionaleonhart February 5 2012, 22:32:24 UTC

I did! I was equal parts horrified and amused. I'm surprised I didn't comment! Perhaps I was too busy gaping at the screen. Congratulations?

dracothelizard February 5 2012, 23:21:34 UTC

Thank you! From his reaction, I am assuming he was busy being amused. I immediately checked if other, higher rated fic was locked to AO3 members and THANK GOD IT WAS.

(Psst, winged unicorns are canonically called Alicorns. I thought this information might please you.)

rionaleonhart February 3 2012, 21:02:23 UTC

(They are not canonically called alicorns! They've never been referred to as alicorns in the canon! They are fanonically called alicorns.

I spent a weird amount of time considering whether or not to use 'alicorn' in that comment, to be honest.)

captlebubbles February 4 2012, 02:11:37 UTC

(Several of the writers have used Alicorns to refer to Luna and Celestia in interviews and Q&A's, including, I think- I can't remember this one for sure- Faust herself. That makes it Word of God, ie, canon. :D)

rionaleonhart February 4 2012, 08:16:31 UTC

(Ah, thank you! I didn't know the production team had used it. In that case, it's good to have a canonical term!)

captlebubbles February 4 2012, 15:47:48 UTC

(I'd link you if I still had it. I found someone arguing about it on the Tropes pages and that's where I got them. Alicorn is also the traditional name for them- presumably where they got it, of course- as well as being the name for the material a unicorn's horn is made of. This, of course, is referring to original legends in general, not MLP specifically. To my knowledge, no one has specified what, besides magic, makes up a unicorn's horn in MLP.)
