MLP:FiM Fan Club! {Version 6!} [Posting open!]

[akb48]

I really want a royal foal to be born in Season 4 c: It'd make a fantastic season finale- and they could announce Cadence's pregnancy sometime within the series, or even at the end of the season premiere. They've already had the Cake family have foals, so the concept of pregnancy and childbirth shouldn't be a problem for the producers... Although we never saw a pregnant model of Mrs Cake in the first season :s

I love the idea!

Anyone feel like watching a cosplay catwalk? I'm in it XD Won't tell you who I am but I'm sure if you saw my gibbering about the costume then you'll guess which person is me haha. I need a better costume next year. I'm thinking on either Flufflepuff or a steampunk version of either Chryssie or Luna o 3o

She's actually being removed from the show. Like, srsly hasbro. I agree with everything you've said. R.I.P Derpy, I luffles you. 6u9

Not sure where you heard that, Hasbro stated at SDCC 2013 that Derpy is still going to get the same amount of love like she did in Equestria Girls, if memory doesn't fail.

edit: warning, Season 4 spoilers are in here along with what I said above. http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/07/c ... panel.html

If you could make anything happen in season 4, what would it be?
I would have one of the Mane 6 have a new baby brother. Seeing as Rarity and Pinkie Pie both have sisters, Applejack has a little sister and an older brother, and Twilight has an older brother, that leaves Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy as candidates. Since RD recently "adopted" Scootaloo as a younger sister, that leaves Fluttershy. I think Fluttershy would be a prime candidate for having a little brother.
One problem, though. Every pony we've seen who has siblings also has parents (or in AJ's case, a grandparent). We've never seen Fluttershy's parents, nor have we seen RD's (there is a possibility that the rainbow-maned stallion in "Games Ponies Play" was her father; but this possibility has not yet been confirmed as correct).

If I couldn't do that, then I'd have an episode entirely dedicated to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna - particularly how they were as fillies, who their parents were, and how they came to be the princesses of the land. I'd also like to know why they have so much power - who appointed them princesses? Are there any laws forbidding them to do something? Could these laws have influenced their current personalities and hardships they must go through? Did either of them have crushes growing up?

Just to let everyone know here:
In Middle School people make fun of you for liking mlp, then you get to High School and everybody is crazy about it.
You pretty much can like what you wanna like in high school and not get made fun of.

I'm an adult, and have already graduated high school. In high school I got teased for being a fan of it, and even as an adult I still get weird stares from people who don't understand why I love a "children's show" so much. I don't think there's any one specific age where you won't get teased for it - but I didn't like it in middle school, so I can't state if you're right in that regards.

I told my dad about Derpy and he said that he thinks that the handicapped or impaired people would love Derpy because they included her as a character that's sweet and loveable.
I understand why so many people love her, and I do too. But I can also understand why people wouldn't like her.

I agree with your father. I would have thought that the handicapped people would have been happy to see a character like them in one of their favorite (if not their absolute favorite) TV show.

Oooh. I think I spotted you. That wig was awesome. X)

I noticed, throughout the entire thing, not ONE person on stage cosplayed as what I had wanted to cosplay if I had actually been able to attend. I had considered cosplaying as Queen Chrysalis, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Applejack, or Pinkie Pie, but figured that there would be a lot of people cosplaying as the same character, so I decided not to cosplay them. I have had this particular cosplay in my head for around a year now, but will probably never be able to use it, as I really don't think I'll EVER have the funds to go to BronyCon, BronyCan, or BUCK.

Speaking of child's show and such, I was reminded of the whole Derpy Hooves controversy, what's your thoughts?

*clears throat*

Derpy's first appearance was in an episode not even related to her, and she was just in the background, doing pretty much nothing. The fanbase fell in love with her design, and started making up stories about her and how she'd fit into the episodes later in the series. The fanbase named her Derpy for unknown reasons; and the name was circulated SO MUCH that the creators had even heard about it, and wanted to please the fans. Thus, the screenwriters re-named Ditzy Doo to Derpy in honor of the fanbase.

EDIT: I think I agree with RD's statements about "Basketball" and "South Park" and how they may have been the reasons why fans named her Derpy.

An episode aired with Derpy in it, and in the episode, Derpy was portrayed as a klutzy, accident-prone pony with slightly-slurred speech. Rainbow Dash called her by her name in the episode, telling her to be careful, and not break anything more than she already had. After the episode aired, the fanbase went nuts. Most fans absolutely loved the shout-out, and loved how Derpy was portrayed. Some of the other fans went nuts in a BAD way. They sent angry e-mails to the creators and screenwriters of the show, expressing their disgust that Hasbro would introduce a "retarded" character into a TV show for children. The screenwriters were puzzled. What had they done to cause such an outrage? They went back and watched the episode, seeing nothing wrong with any of the lines they had incorporated. Several angry e-mails later, they looked into the definition of "derpy." Unknown to the screenwriters, there are different definitions of "derpy." The most common definition is "klutzy, clumsy, embarrassing, and awkward," which is the definition that the screenwriters thought they were using in the show. Part of the fanbase took the other definition of "derpy" - "mentally retarded" - and assumed that is what the screenwriters must have meant when giving that character her name.

The screenwriters made known that out of the hundreds of e-mails they'd received, only around 10 were negative, indicating that only a small percentage of the fans were upset. No matter how the screenwriters responded to the situation, they knew at least some of the fans would be hurt. After bouncing ideas back and fourth, Hasbro and the Hub ordered the screenwriters to change Derpy's name to "Ditzy Doo" and also change her voice so it wasn't so slurred. Hasbro and the Hub also ordered the screenwriters to edit out Derpy's name. The screenwriters, having practically no say in the issue, complied. Most of the fanbase did not like the change, and complained to the Hasbro and the Hub about this. Hasbro and the Hub stuck with their change, and didn't comply to the wishes of the majority of the fans.

(Information about the "Derpy/Ditzy Doo" issue can be found here.)


Personally, I think that the fans really overreacted. Derpy was NEVER meant to be an insult, and some fans simply took it that way. *facepalm* I actually thought the shout-out was sweet, and, if anything, showed that Hasbro and Hub loved their fans and wanted them to be happy. If the negatively-reacting fans hadn't e-mailed those messages, we'd still have the old Derpy. Yes, I don't like that she changed, but it's not like I can do anything about it. Just sit here and tell you guys how seriously unfair it was that people decided to change her over a couple of e-mails. *shrugs*

There are some people who currently call her "Ditzy Doo," but she'll always be "Derpy Hooves" to me.

She's actually being removed from the show. Like, srsly hasbro. I agree with everything you've said. R.I.P Derpy, I luffles you. 6u9

Where in the world did you hear that? As far as I'm concerned, that's just a rumor.

I really want a royal foal to be born in Season 4 c: It'd make a fantastic season finale- and they could announce Cadence's pregnancy sometime within the series, or even at the end of the season premiere. They've already had the Cake family have foals, so the concept of pregnancy and childbirth shouldn't be a problem for the producers... Although we never saw a pregnant model of Mrs Cake in the first season :s

I would just LOVE to have Shining Armor and Cadance have a baby, so...yes, I TOTALLY agree with you.

Derpy's what brought me into the fandom, as I can relate to her. Don't judge me *hides under rock* there's some who like her only because the crowd does, and there's those like me who relate to her.

And then there's some like me - I cannot entirely relate to Derpy, nor do I follow the crowd in liking her...but I still like Derpy for my own reasons.

Could have sworn it said just concerned parents but oh well. Derpy to me is just like those big fat flies that get into the house and buzz a ton while they fly around. Gah those things are annoying. The only thing that could ever possibly change my mind about her is a headcanon in an excellent story I read the other day. I don't find her offensive or anything she just annoys me and all the hype over her is incredibly annoying as well. Someone actually had the nerve to say I'm not a "true brony" because I don't like her. Frankly that just made me hate her all the more.

Yes. Someone agrees with me.
Derpy is just an overrated character everyone loves to much, in a few years she wont be popular, and maybe MLP wont be either(maybe).

Midnight, might I ask you a question? Why does it matter if Derpy is popular and MLP is popular in a few years? I will still continue to like MLP:FiM, even if it is NOT popular; to me, popularity means nothing. I like something because I enjoy it; not because it's "popular." I'm a fan of Star Trek: The Original series - most people roll their eyes and hate that show. I love "I Love Lucy," "Bewitched," and other old black and white television shows that most people just hate. I don't care if it's popular - I'm still going to watch it. The same can be said of characters - most people I've met say that Twilight Sparkle is a Mary-Sue, and they pretty much diss her as a character. She is truly my favorite pony, and I have loved her since I started the series, and won't stop loving her anytime soon.
I guess I don't understand your reasoning. I'm just...confused by your statement. People will still love things, even if they aren't popular...so why would you state that popularity has something to do with the Derpy issue?
