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!

@Darkabomination (A billion pages ago): Fleur is frequently Fancy's filly friend in fanon.

UUUGH, yes!

Fillyfriend sounds rather disturbing.

[up][up] But we say "girlfriend" not "womanfriend".

Womanfriend does sound a fuckton more classy, though.

I just have a humongous fetish for alliteration.

"girlfriend" is a canon term.

I thought Very Special Somepony was the "canon" term.

Yeah, but that's kind of a lot to say every time.

Can we just call her "a friend"?

I think Very Special Somepony is just their equivalent of Significant Other or Better Half. Applebloom does refer to a Girlfriend in The Perfect Stallion.

That would get confusing though. Are Twilight and Rainbow Dash friends, or "friends?"

Considering that the term "Girls" has been used before in the show, I don't see anything wrong with just using Girlfriend and Boyfriend for mares and stallions retrospectively.

Finally got a custom wallpaper for my iphone. It's a picture of Trixie's cutie mark and a plain blue background (which goes pretty well with the blue plastic on the phone itself). Yay :3

Except we never really hear it as singular, it's generally used for groups.

Like Kegi said, "girlfriend" itself was used in the show anyway, so...

I just say fillyfriend for alliteration and because marefriend when taken literally sounds a bit awkward. Similarly I try to keep things in the same analogue, for instance I'd call Rainbow Dash a fanfilly of Daring Do.

Speaking of which. Who else is probably still going to be single on valentines day? Maybe we could have a single persons party.

They all seem to be rather interchangeable by the show, so really just a mater of which you prefer.

Honestly, if I had a girlfriend, I would not know what to say because I would be extremely shy. I don't know if I would call her my marefriend, or very special pony, unless she watches the show also.

@Ike As usual I'll be flying solo that day. I'll be at the library all day until it closes. Unless, I find my one true love who loves being at the library as much as I do.

I'd say avoid that even if she does watch the show, that just sounds awkward.
