Changes
If there was one thing that can always be counted on, it’s that, I, Derpy Hooves, always get up at on time. Being a mailmare is harder than it looks; one needs to be ready at all times! Especially in a town as busy as Ponyville.
Today was no exception. With a stretch and a great yawn, I leapt out of bed, ready to take on the day. It was the same routine I go through every day. Yet, it never seems to get old. There’s always something to smile about! Whether it be muffins, my daughter Dinky, or even the various friends I’ve throughout town, something is always there to cheer me up when I’m down.
Another thing that always makes me happy: showers! Showers are nice. Especially in the morning, right after you get up. Yeah. So, I took one! And I made bubbles, too! I’ve always like bubbles, so shiny and round and floaty...but that doesn’t have much to do with my story at all!
So, after I took my shower, I stood in front of the mirror to brush my teeth. Down the hall I could hear Dinky getting up, too. She’s such a good little filly. But I couldn’t appreciate it for very long. When I looked in the mirror, my eyes...they were all weird!
Well, not weird. They were normal. Which was weird. Is that weird? I think so. Anyway, they were perfectly straight. I waited a few seconds for them to ‘derp’ again(for lack of a better term). But they didn’t! They stayed normal!
“What’s going on?”
I nearly jumped. My...my voice! It was so high! I sounded like one of those fillies from Dream Valley! Was I coming down with something? Maybe I should have taken the day off...no! “Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” That was the oath I took, and I was sticking to it! No cold could stand in my way! I AM DERPY HOOVES!
So, I brushed my teeth and combed my hair. It was a bit weird, what with my new eyes staring back at me, but I got used to it eventually.
As I walked down the hall to the kitchen, I noticed another thing: I could see! Well, I could always see, but not very well. That’s why some ponies think I’m stupid, because I always crash into things. But it’s not my fault I have no depth perception! Blame my great-great-great-great-great-grandmother, what with her wonky eyes. Was this because my eyes were normal now? I should probably have checked with my ophthalmologist.
We were out of muffins, so I started making toast. My little muffin, Dinky, came out a few minutes later. I was expecting her to be surprised; I was holding a knife, after all. There was an incident once involving a bagel, a book and a tree, and, well...let’s just say that I had promised the mayor never to use a knife for anything again. But my eyes were normal now, so I figured, what the hay?
But Dinky just sat at the table like nothing happened. “Good morning, mommy!” she called.
I smiled. Looks like some things never change. I flew and gave her a big hug. “Good morning, little filly!” I said. I was expecting her to find my voice and my eyes weird too, but she didn’t say anything. In fact, she didn’t even look fazed. She just returned the hug before playing with a toy she had found on the table. I decided not to mention it.
So, we had breakfast, and I walked her to school. It was really crowded there, like every morning. Dinky goes to the Low School, which is for little fillies and colts. In two more years, she’ll graduate to the Middle School, and, three years after that, to the High School! I’m so proud of her. I let her run off with her best friend, Pipsqueak. Once, Dinky told me that she had a crush on him. I didn’t tell her then, but I’m pretty sure he feels the same way.
Oh, to be young and in love...
“Hey, Ditzy!”
I snickered a bit at the name I had just heard. I stopped right away though, as a wave of guilt hit me. I knew what it felt like to have a strange name like that.
“Ditzy, over here!”
I was actually one in a very long line of Derpys. The first was, again, my great-great-great-great-great-grandmother. Thanks a lot, gramma.
“DITZY! MUFFINS!”
I immediately whipped my head around. I didn’t care who this Ditzy pony was, I had a craving for some muffins. Well, I’m not sure it could be called a craving. Is it a craving if you always have it? Oh, whatever. Anyway, I looked to where the sound was coming from. Usually, because of my eyes, it would take a while, but I was able to find it right away now.
Standing a few meters away was my best friend, Carrot Top. She was waving at...me? What? My name isn’t Ditzy. A shouted a quick ‘goodbye’ and ‘I love you’ to Dinky before flying over to her.
She smiled. “Hey, Ditzy. Why did you take so long to respond?”
I gave her a questioning look. “What’s with this Ditzy name?” I asked. Honestly, I didn’t like it very much. But if I told her that, things might get a bit awkward. She had always been afraid that she would do something to offend me one day.
“What do you mean?”
“Why did you call me Ditzy?”
“Well, that’s your name.”
I blinked. “No it’s not.”
She laughed before giving me a joking look. “Fine then. What is your name?”
“...Derpy Hooves.”
Now Carrot Top looked...offended? Disgusted would be a better word. “Ditzy,” she said, “that’s not funny. My uncle was mentally handicapped. I don’t like you using that word.”
I gave her a weird look. “What word? ‘Derpy?’”
“Yeah!”
“But...that’s my name!”
Carrot Top stamped her hoof. “No, it’s not! Stop being rude!”
I gaped. Then I realized: nopony had asked me about my eyes, or even my voice. What was going on? I looked around for any secret cameras; I had seen those shows. They set you up, and then the pony with the camera comes out and says ‘You just got punk’d!’ Everything seemed normal, so I turned back to my friend, who was looking at me funny.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“I’m looking for the...oh, never mind, do you notice anything about me that’s different?”
Carrot Top frowned. “Well, besides the fact you’re being really mean, no.”
“You mean, nothing’s wrong with my voice? What about my eyes?” I leaned in really close to her so she could take in everything.
“Your eyes are fine!” she yelped, pushing me away. “Now, are you going to apologize or what?”
I facehooved. “MY NAME IS DERPY HOOVES! It’s not Ditzy!”
Now a bunch of ponies nearby were giving me dirty looks. “What,” I cried, “do you have a problem with my name too?” I didn’t wait for an answer. Before Carrot Top could do anything, I flew away, bound for the post office. That was weird.
I got there in a few minutes. When I went inside, I headed straight for the mailroom, where I would get my letters and packages to deliver. Besides my house, the post office was probably my favorite place in town. It was always so full of life!
On my way, I passed by my mailpony friend, Speedy. He’s a pegasus, just like me, except he’s yellow-and-brown instead of grey-and-yellow. His real name was Quicky, but apparently that means something else which he told me not to look up, so he changed it. Don’t tell him, but I went and looked it up...let’s just say that I can understand why he wanted to change it.
“Hey, Ditzy.” he said to me.
“Derpy,” I corrected.
He stopped in his tracks and stared at me. “What did you call me?”
I laughed. “Oh no, I was just-”
“Are you calling me a retard?”
Now I was the one who froze. “No, no, I would never-”
“What the hay is your problem?!” he cried. “I thought we were friends!”
“No, we are!”
“Yeah, I bet, retard! How do you like it?”
What? How...I didn’t call him a retard! I was just telling him my real name! What’s wrong with everypony?! I stormed off, trying to hold back tears. I didn’t like being called a retard; I never had.
Later, I was on my route. Now that my eyes were straight, it was a bit easier. But my voice still freaked me out. Everypony used to tell me that I sounded like a boy, but I didn’t care! I like sounding like a boy! And, even if they caused me trouble sometimes, I like my eyes, too! They make me who I am. And I love who I am.
“LOOK OUT!”
I just barely moved in time to avoid Ponyville’s resident thrill-seeker, Rainbow Dash, from ripping through me like a bullet. That was when it hit me: Rainbow Dash! She would remember me! Sure, she didn’t exactly like me...in fact, when we were at Junior Speedsters together, her and that griffon outright hated me. But she was the living embodiment of Loyalty! She had to help.
Rainbow spun to face me. She smiled. “Oh, hey, Ditzy! What’s up?”
Approaching her, I groaned. “Please, my name isn’t Ditzy!”
She frowned. “Oh, sorry. I’m pretty bad with names...what is it, then?”
“Derpy Hooves.”
Instead of getting mad, she laughed! That was good...I thought. Well, it was better than being angry, at least. And she kept laughing...and laughing...and laughing. Now, I was starting to get mad. I didn’t like it when people laughed at me. I hadn’t even told a joke!
“Oh, oh, that’s amazing!” she cried. “I’m just imagining it: some stupid pony, flying around, crashing into stuff! Oh, that’s a good one, Ditzy.”
“But, but, I-”
“HAHAHAHA! Oh, Celestia, my stomach hurts! And, and, imagine if, like, she had crossed eyes or something?! Oh, it’d be like, she’d break something, then she’d be like ‘I just don’t know what went wrong!’ HAHAHA!”
I felt myself begin to cry. But I held it back; I hadn’t cried in front of anypony since I was little. I was a grown mare now. “Oh...okay.” I said. “I-I have to go. Bye.” And I flew away as fast as I could. I heard Rainbow yell something after me, but I didn’t hear what.
My next delivery was to Sugarcube Corner. I really just wanted to get in and out as fast as possible. I didn’t know what was going on. All I knew was that I didn’t like it. When I got there, Mr. Cake was outside, sweeping the steps. He waved me over.
“Hey there, Ditzy!” he cheered. “What do ya got...for...us? Ditzy, is something wrong?”
I guess he noticed how red my eyes were. I felt like correcting him, but, really, what was the point? He was a father, and would probably get offended too. So I just sighed, and said, “No, nothing. I’m just having a hard day.” A handed him his package. “See ya later.”
But before I could fly off, I heard Mr. Cake call my name. “Wait!” he cried. “Why don’t you come inside for a bit? I can get some fresh-baked muffins ready!”
I could feel my mouth start to fill with saliva. Despite my worries, I just couldn’t bring myself to refuse free muffins. So, I went in, sat down at a table, and put my head on my hooves. Whenever a pony passed, they would greet me. Always Ditzy. What kind of bizarro world had I stepped into?
“HIYA, DERPY!”
A took a quick glance at the bright pink pony that had seated herself across from me. “Hi, Pinkie Pie,” I muttered. “How are...wait, what did you call me?”
Pinkie didn’t stop smiling. “Derpy.”
“N-Not Ditzy?”
“No. That’s a silly name! Wait...do you want me to call you Ditzy?”
I started to flail madly. “No! Never! Please, call me Derpy, call me Derpy!”
“Okie-doki-loki!” Pinkie whooped, oblivious to the angry stares I had gotten. “So, what’s up? What’s with the long face? And why are your eyes all normal? And why is your voice so high? Have you been eating helium?! Because, this one time, I-”
“No, listen!” I implored. “You’re the first pony today to notice that! I don’t know what’s going on, but everypony thinks this is completely normal! And they keep calling me Ditzy! I just don’t know what to do...”
Pinkie scratched her chin. “Hmm...I’ve seen this before.”
“You have?!”
“Yep!”
There was silence.
“So...can you tell me what to do?”
“Yep!”
More silence.
“TELL ME!”
Pinkie held up her hooves defensively. “Fine, fine, no need to get all snippy! I’ll be back lickety-split!” And, just like that, she was gone. But, before I could put my head back down, she was back! With a tray of muffins! And they were blueberry...my favorite! I reached for one, but she hit my hoof away. “No touchie!” she said.
Very carefully, she lifted up two muffins that I could have sworn weren’t there before. One was pure red, the other, pure blue. She pushed them toward me.
“Now, you have a choice to make,” she said in a deep, grave voice. “You take the blue muffin: the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red muffin: you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.”
I stared at her. “What?”
“Just eat the blue one!”
And so, I did. Immediately, I felt something erupt inside of me. It began in my stomach. Then, like a rocket, it traveled upwards, up through me, until my chest felt like it was going to burst...
BURRRRP
What.
I looked at Pinkie in shock. “No...Nothing happened!”
She giggled. “Look up!”
I looked up. Coming at me, faster than I could even react was an alligator. ...It had no teeth, but still IT WAS AN ALLIGATOR. I tried to scream, but before I could, its wet jaws clamped down on me!
“NOOOOOOOOOOO!” I screamed, thrashing wildly.
“Mommy?”
I opened my eyes. It was dark, but I could clearly make out familiar pictures and objects. I...I was in my room! I looked to my side. Standing next to my bed, a teddy bear draped over her back, was Dinky.
I breathed hard. “Yes, Dinky?” I asked. I almost jumped. My voice was deep again! I SOUNDED LIKE A BOY! Before the filly could answer, I rushed into my bathroom. On the way there, I crashed into the doorframe about three times. I looked into the mirror. My eyes were messed up again! I HAD NO DEPTH PERCEPTION!
I dashed back to Dinky, who was staring at me in sleepy-eyed confusion. “Dinky,” I said, “what’s my name?!”
“Huh?”
“WHAT’S MY NAME?!”
She rubbed her eyes. “Derpy. Can I sleeeeeWWWOAH!” she cried as I lifted her into the air, giving her as big of a hug as I could muster. “Mommy, you’re tickling me! Haha!”
“Oh, Dinky, I had the worst dream! I’m so glad I’m awake!”
After another minute of air-cuddling, I put her back onto the bed. She stared at me warily. “I had a bad dream too. Can I sleep with you?”
I pulled her into the bed beside me. “Of course you can, my little muffin. Sleep tight.”
“Hey, mommy?” Dinky started, her eyes closed.
“Yes?”
“I love you.”
I nuzzled her little forehead. “I love you too.”
So, the moral of the story is: don't eat jalapeno muffins before bedtime.

Well...
Her name is suppost to be Ditzy.
And she sounds better now so...
Yeah, it's better now.
Good day.
262633
This is a great metaphor for the whole "Derpy" controversy. The animators of the show should end their crazed jalapeno muffin habit so that Derpy can be saved once and for all.
262665
No.
Good day.
262633 I'm just replying to tell you that you have the most AWESOME name ever! Me, I'm named after a freaking CADILLAC! But you, you're named after an awesome politician!
262698
Why thank you.
Good day.
262734
You can't fix what isn't broken.
Good day.
After a while, you could try to ignore Wilhelm.
It is a politician after all.
*stomps hooves in an applause of approval* Great story! Bravo! It's probably exactly what Derpy's feeling.
262767
Yes, becasue anyone who has another opinion on Ditzy must be ignored.
262747
Same.
Good day.
A thousand thumbs up for the moral, and another thousand for derpy's rederping!!!!!!!!!
I love it. Even if her name is supposed to be Ditzy Doo and Derpy Hooves is her nickname, this is still a great story, with an EVEN BETTER MORAL!!!
........ I want a Muffin now......
262777
Nah, because anyone who must have another opinion on everything to tick people off must be ignored.
Um... Good day?
262819
Its not to tick people off.
Her name was suppost to be Dizty Doo, and it does fit better.
Epic rap battles of pony.
Good day.
262846
Ehhhh...her name was never supposed to be Ritzy Doo. Faust only said that they MIGHT give her model that name. She never confirmed nor denied anything.
262874
Not 'Ritzy Doo', Dizty Doo, why do you think there was the line about the southern birds.
It would have been Ditzy if the fans hadn't gone all crazy about it.
Good day.
262884
*Ditzy, sorry, I was typing on a Kindle
The only person to work on the show that mentioned Ditzy as a name was Faust, and even she said she wasn't sure. Later on, in her FAQ, Faust also said "It sounds like it's finally landed on Derpy Hooves." Not to mention that that's what the Hub referred to her as on their Facebook page.
As much as I would love it to be real, Ditzy is just a fanon name.
Well, her name was supposed to be Ditzy Doo, but, if you would look closely to the community, there exists a character for about every background pony that haven't stood on screen for more than 2 seconds. If Derpy was chosen by those at the My Little Pony bureau to appear in the show, it was because of her distinctive feature.
And why would it suit her well? Really, Ditzy? I'd rather call her "Piece of Fucked Up Shit" than "Ditzy".
But again, it's my opinion. You have yours. Only that mine is backed up by a huge base of bronies.
So, my good Wilhelm the Second, Derpy's legion is far superior to the Ditzy enforcers. And after all, how retarded can you be to say that her eyes make fun of people with problems? The idea was that she got in the show, with voice and acting, even if she looked like that.
Ignorants.
Good evening.
I kind of prefer Derpy to Ditzy, but it's not a big deal. Both are just as correct as each other.
262846 I have read a few Derpy fics centred about the recent changes made to her and couldn't help but notice that you have commented on most of them with pretty much the same response. Now while I completely respect your opinion and am in no way trying to change it or comment on it, I would like to ask you why you feel the need to force your comments on all of them.
Seriously, all your comments have been pretty much the same. I don't know if you have some sort of need to validate your views by attacking a story but your missing the point of these fics. Some people are upset about the change. Some people don't like the new Derpy. There is no need to criticise stories just because of it's subject matter. I don't like LoTR but I recognise they are well written and well directed with good SFX. I don't badmouth it just because I'm not a fan of them. I wish you would do the same and let people show how they feel about decisions made in a show we're all fans of.
You don't seem to be embracing the love and tolerance message we like to preach, I wish you would rather than dismissing people's hopes and views. Again this message is not a put-down against you, just a message of tolerance.
Derpy, Ditzy, Bubbles. Doesn't matter. What does matter is that this was a good fic and I enjoyed reading it. Thank you for posting
263010
'love and tolerance'
This coming from the fandom that has been sending death threats over the Ditzy issue.
She should have never had the spoken role, she was much better as a background pony, that way she could be anything.
And while Derpy is a okay name, most of the heartwarming fics about her use, Ditzy Doo, because for that it fits much better.
'I have read a few Derpy fics'
It was only on 3, and 2 of them were about everyone jumping on the bandwagon for views.
I mean, they changed it now nearly everybody is making fics about it, in order to get some views.
Good day.
262918
Well now that the Derpy line has been removed, Derpy is also a fandom name.
Good day.
This was the most epic and unexpected Matrix reference I have read so far.
About the Names: Ditzy Doo is her real name, but Derpy Hooves is her nickname. Dashie adressed her with a nickname, no big suprise here. If the mayor would speak to her, it would be Ditzy Doo.
This is my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.

When we are discussing a character's portrayal in the actual show does it not stand to reason that we should only consider canon, not fanon?
Derpy is the only canon name ever given the character. It is the original fan name for the character's first appearance in Episode 1. Ditzy is the canon name for an unidentified pegasus mentioned during WWU. You are free to fanonically believe them to be one and the same, but please do not try to appply fanon as canon. It's somewhat disturbing.
Personally I prefer a more femminine voice and am offended they "normalized" her eyes. But I could could not care less about what name they give her considering how trivial the character is to canon. I've always been partial to "Bright Eyes" but her canon name IS Derpy until they give her a new official one.
263085 As usual the minority outshines the majority. Yes there has been anger but only a small number of people have sent threats. They do not speak for most of us. And how do you know that people are doing this just for views? You don't know that for sure, the authors could be distraught at this change and this was a way to vent. But then again I don't know that for sure and you could be right.
I agree with you on the background status of Derpy, she was whatever we needed her to be in her non-canon status but when she appeared in The Last Roundup I couldn't help but feel touched by the fact that the animators had listened to us, they acknowledged us in a way no other show had before. I felt part of things as I'm sure others did.
It's a shame this has happened and maybe it shouldn't have happened in the first place but the animators were only trying to do right by us and I feel so glad to be part of what we bronies have.
Now you can think I'm just some sap who misses Derpy I don't care. But different people feel differently about this and if they want to express themselves this way who are we to judge? I don't particularly like HiE or self-insert fics because about 90% have the same plot but I don't go and comment on them about how they're jumping on some bandwagon I've imagined the situation to be, no. I just ignore them because the last thing they want is some close-minded person insulting their story on a basis that I don't like it.
We don't have to like it or accept it but we can at least tolerate it. And I urge everyone to do the same.
263139
Well said
263133
Seeing as the bit when she is called Derpy is removed, its nolonger cannon.
263139
Did you see the R.I.P Derpy blog yesterday?
There was people saying that it was a tragedy, when it isn't, starving people in africa is.
People say they miss her then it's fine, I say that I don't (the voice is much better now.) And I get acussed of been intolerant, you people can't just have one side of the argument, you need both, which is what I'm saying.
263121
No, that did nothing but waste pixels.
263097
This, is my headcannon.
Good day.
263227 Though the starving people in Africa has no relevance to this at all I do agree to an extent to what your saying about Derpy/Ditzy. I like to call her Ditzy because I personally think its cute.
I don't like the fact that it was changed and even more so I HATE the new voice they gave her as I would hate it on any pony they gave it to. But it doesn't mean the character is dead. Most of us here write fanfics and we write them the way we want. For those who enjoy whatever they thought the "old" Derpy/Ditzy was then go a head. Anyone who enjoys how she is now, that's fine too.
Point is, it's not a tragedy. Lets just love her the way she was or the way she is now. Nothing has really changed here. We only make it seem so.
263227 Your missing the point. Don't start hassling the author because of what they write about. If you want to rant and rage about Derpy's change write a blog post where other people can argue with you.
Also the definition of tragedy: an event causing suffering and distress. As to what the event is that's all a matter of perception.
Great story, but Christ your avatar scares the hell out of me!
262633
Words nor images cannot express the level of facepalm I am experiencing right now.
263097
Opinion with nothing at all to back it up =/= canon.
i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/155/747/didn%27t%20read%20lol.png
262633 Are you fucking kidding me?
Better? Whats better about Derpy right now? 
263227
The whole point I think is that it's rather mean to string along the fans or to appear to by apparently taking their input, and then later for whatever reason just removing it all together. If they had done this in the first place, as soon as the original problem was noticed, this would be a non-issue.
Unfortunate, the reality is that when you change a pony's voice and appearance in the show, you effectively erase who they were and replace them with somepony else, even if the lines are the same. No fan of a TV show wants their favorite character (background or not) to finally get an episode for themselves and then get all of that wiped from the record.
Whether or not something is currently canon is up to the developers to be sure, but making something canon and then just removing it from the canon is unacceptable backtracking, from the viewers perspective, without a specific reason. If hasbro has/had a specific reason, they should have just made a brief press release and posted it on some kind of official hasbro channel where people could find it (hubworld.com or maybe youtube). If there is such a thing (and I mean an official statement), feel free to link to it, but I haven't heard of such a thing.
If you want to keep on being obnoxious, go ahead, but you really don't need to be a pain. It takes only a few posts at most to express your point, and you needn't reply negatively to every single person that replies to you.
By the way, if the comparison video on eq daily is correct, the new voice is HORRIBLE (in my mind being ditzy is worse than derpy any day), and conveys a dumb blonde (which is a unfortunate type to be sure). Dumb blondes are dumb, even if they have a hard time helping it, they just aren't particularly funny. Did anyone else notices that Rainbow Dash's voice seemed to have changed in that clip? RD is always a bit abrasive on people when they aren't meeting up to her standards, and to change the personality of one of the mane six in a way that is obviously intended to change what she means after the fact is practically criminal.
263284
Thank you.

'event causing suffering and distress'
How does the editing of a make believe cartoon character cause distress?
263430
Thats just my opinion.
263498
Her voice no-longer makes me cringe.
263508
Well it is Hasbros show, they can do what they want with it.
I'm not been negative, I'm just replying.
How is it a dumb blonde joke?
By looking at it and seeing a blonde joke, your doing the same as the people who saw the old one and thought she was retarded.
And no, it is not criminal, no laws have been broken, all they have done is modified a small clip about a made up character in a show they own, perfectly legal.
Good day.
263586 I'll pull the opinion card that you've been using on you: To me, it wasn't a waste of pixels.
263647
No the pixels bit was about the friendship cannon.
Good day.
263656 Yeah, I knew. Me and I'm sure various others here did not think it was a waste.
263684
How was the friendship cannon not a waste, it did nothing.
Good day.
263227
1: It's only changed in the current version of the ITunes release, not the DVD or any of the already downloaded episodes.
2: It still remains the only name by which the character has ever been called in the show canonically, whether that canon has been retconned or not.
3: Even with the retcon she still has not been given a new name so at most she is once again nameless. As such feel free to refer to her by any fanon name you wish to but please do not act as if your prefered fanon name is canon.
263693 It wasn't a waste, it got a point across. Just because you are too ignorant to see it doesn't means others are as well.
Okay, guys, can we all calm ourselves? Let's just agree to disagree, and drop it. From now on, any comments relating to this damned argument will be deleted. Sorry.
263714
Okay, I'm sorry that others took my simple statment out of hand.
Best of luck with future projects.
Good day.
i want derpy back....AT ALL COSTS!
-kidnaps hasbro ppl and FORCES them to make derpy...derpy...again-
PROBLEM SOLVED!
ME NEED MOAR
SHE SAVES ME FROM SADNESS & BOREDOM!
I can't help but wonder, if she had eaten both muffins at the same time...
Guys, seriously...we're threatening a nuclear war over the internet over someone as peaceful and kind as Derpy? She certainly wouldn't appreciate how most of you are acting.
I'm just as upset over Derpy as the next bro, I really am (she's my 2nd-favorite pony), but I chose to be really reserved about it aside from signing the SaveDerpy.com petition. It drives me absolutely crazy that the "love and toleration" that bronies support is starting to fade into hypocrisy due to the aggressiveness of some people toward people like Yamino (seriously, what'd she even do?), not to mention the creators of the show we all watch and love. If the soccer-moms won and Derpy gets her name changed, that's just an example of how "life isn't fair", as parents will say. You can either take a Ghandi approach and settle it peacefully and keep calling her Derpy no matter what her name is...or you can just keep being 5-year-old girls and constantly whine about how one character got affected.
Just getting my two-Bits into this.
Geez people can't we talk about the actual story?
I enjoyed this one. Thumbs up.
Hm. Not sure which Muffin I'd want. Blue one would simply make things make sense again. ....On the other hand, the Red one might actually let me begin to understand the inner workings of Hasbro... o_o
...
...I think I'll need to order one of each. And then ponder my choices, yesss....
