Why use certain terms? · 11:23pm Aug 25th, 2019
My stories have very specific wording. It could be as simple as using wordplay to include a related easter egg reference to the show based on that character i.e. when Pinkie referred to Celestia as "Sunbutt" in the story Solar Cooking with 'Tia. That is based on Scribbler (Youtuber whom I enjoy listening to) putting a specific emphasis on "Sunbutt" in her comic readings. Each story I write contains between 10-20 references of such a nature.
In I Don't Call Her Mom, the words "brave crusader" is used as an ironic replacement for soldier, the irony being the CMC haven't happened yet, and the soldier part relating to growing up in a military family.
If you look in quite a few tales of mine, you may notice that actual quotes from the show spoken by those characters are sprinkled among the words of the narrative.
I felt this should be explained due to the strange comments I get based on word choice.
TL;DR : puns or references, 100% intended.
