A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

All of the usual forum rules apply. In addition, please remember that the thread is discussing a kids' show, and it's primarily focused on the work itself, not the fanfic — in particular, we don't want to see lewdness creeping in.

I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

The sisters are named in one of the Novels and I'm assuming that Marble and Limestone are canon names from Hasbro.

Well it's the canon until proven otherwise status of the rest of EU.

True true, it sounds like they at least tried to keep the EU in line with the series. Save for that Equestria Girls thing. It happened but it didn't happen or something.

Wait, so they're actual books with little to no pictures instead of nothing but pictures with words on them?

Marble and Limestone are fine for 'canon' names anyway. And they were never going to use fan names anyway.

[up]Yes.

To be fair, Limestone often reacts to things in the book with a blink, and it's given a bit of attention the first time she does so. The author's confirmed it to be a nod to blinkie's fan name.

Speaking of, DJ pon-3, Octavia, Davinport, Lyra, and Lyrica Lilac are all named as such in the book.

Didn't the EQ novelization retcon a bunch of stuff from the movie? Or was that the comics?

@Orion. I'm just not caught up on my reading of the mlp books, that's all.

But they are only named in fanworks, and since when do fanwork creators care about lawsuits?

Well usually, but in this case the fan names are based off of the ghosts from Pacman. Mostly because one of the ghosts was Pinkie. Not sure if those names are specific enough to sue over though.

Alright, guys. I'm leaving early tomorrow morning to head to my grandma's funeral. I'll be staying with relatives while I'm away and I don't know if I'll have internet access. If I do I'll be sure to poke my head back in here at some point, but if not you probably won't see me again until Sunday night. Or possibly later if my flight gets delayed. So if I disappear, that's why.

And since I have to wake up early to catch my flight, I'm heading to bed now. Goodnight, and I'll see you in a few days.
