Thanks. Another night ruined, my job here is done
Good point. Going to need him to talk more than usual in this story, but I'll try to use as few and as short sentences as possible.
I don't mind the names. We all knew they'd probably give them different names if they ever gave them names at all, and until they're named in the show I won't consider any of this canon. For all we know the people behind the show had nothing to do with this and probably didn't even know.
I mean, look at that art... if the people behind the show had anything to do with this, we wouldn't be looking at Twilight and her friends cosplaying as Lyra and her friends. That, unlike the names, makes me want to come out from under the bridge. Seriously... one would think they could get a vector of Lyra and any other background ponies, without any additional work, by calling up the people doing the show and saying "Hey there, could you just pass along that vector in a mail, pretty please?". Instead they apparently paid someone to make a new, crappy piece of recoloring. That makes NO SENSE!
That said, back to the names. I do like Lyra Heartstrings, best of both worlds, because Heartstrings is actually a pretty pretty name, but of course she'll always be our Lyra.
Never heard of this Blues pony before - and here I thought I knew all the popular background ponies - but Noteworthy is a pretty cool name. Blues Noteworthy even better.
Berryshine or Berry Punch... eh, same difference to me.
Only one I don't like is Golden Harvest. I think I'll stick with Carrot Top, at least until she's named in the actual show.
I always figured there's this prophecy thing going on. When a pony is born they're given a name based on their future, as foretold by some pony seer or something.
How in Equestria anypony could ever have trouble finding their cutie mark, if that's the case, is beyond me however.
Welcome, welcome, welcome!
You know what this calls for? A PARTY!!!
That's... I lack words for this kind of thing
