Come in, and experience a world of bewilderment!

With the discovery of the kirin within Equestria's domain, the kirin saw it fit to send an ambassador to Canterlot to advocate on their behalf within the Equestrian government. When Princess Celestia asks this ambassador for his name, though, all Tartarus breaks loose.

If every single living being has extremely long names...

saw it coming a mile away. still not disappointed.

I'm guessing all Kirin have a penchant for long names.

Reminds me of the fic Arrow 18 where the literal English translation of place names from ponish was really long. Canterlot was "The Cantering City Along Side the Mountain of the Rising Sun".

I made it two words into that name and just scrolled down to save me the headache. Good story though.

Wtf:twilightoops:😰

This is one of those silly rhymes the world's children sing every generation, isn't it ?

Not the rhyme I know, I'd write the words, but the phonetics will stump any person who tries.

Ri2

I don't know what he's talking about, I've seen longer names.

Does it mean anything?

Well, each part of the name has some meaning in Japanese, but the point of it is to be so absurdly long as to be funny. You can read more about it here.

What a coincidence (not really), my name Adolph Blaine Charles David Earl Frederick Gerald Hubert Irvin John Kenneth Lloyd Martin Nero Oliver Paul Quincy Randolph Sherman Thomas Uncas Victor William Xerxes Yancy Wolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff, Senior

Does he have a brother named Tikki Tikki Tembo-no Sa Rembo-chari Bari Ruchi-pip Peri Pembo?

9273230 Let's make it a little more international....

This makes Dumbledore's full name seem so short! :derpyderp1:

"As co-sovereign of Equestria, I command you both to stop your fighting at once!" Celestia commanded.
"I want a second opinion!" Spring Twinkle snarled.
"As fellow co-sovereign of Equestria, I also command you to cease your quarrel!" Luna added.

You really take the fun out of this, Luna.

Fun Fact: There are no kirin stallions.

Hmm, welp that's a mare not a stallion. MLP FiM has a couple of specific body/ head templates for stallions. No mare/ stallion templates had ever been interchangeable in the history of the show; that is, no character uses a mare template but is voiced by a male actor being a male pony character. And vice versa.

What you see is specific mare template, but with kirin body-&-head characteristics added on. Here is the standard MLP FiM stallion template; the key is the snout:
img00.deviantart.net/0b25/i/2012/177/f/1/my_little_pony__stallion_base_model__edited__by_lissy_strata-d4ygxqt.jpg

The angular "Roman nose" snout was established as early as Season 1, when the studio depicted Celestia's palace guards. Ofc the animators gave the guards strong snouts to indicate strength and authority. But then the characteristic stuck, and the animators gave them to all stallions of different body types. Even foals and colts have this snout, but it's not universal.

I highly doubt the studio will keep kirins entirely female, if they ever become regulars. But if we never see them again (1 season to go), the canon will always be we did not see any stallions, anywhere, anywhen. Tellingly, even the stallion characters in Autumn's Phantom Of The Opera are played by female kirin. Does this mean the kirin species is like black widows and mantis females, and kidnap/seduce/kill stallions when they wanna mate? LOL. I think it's fun to imagine kirin as all-female, like Amazons.

Hmm as the Kirin are a different specie it's not said that males have the "roman nose".
It's quite possible that kirin males may look somewhat effeminate to ponies.

LMAO Wat!?

9378730
The stallions just look like mares, re: the phantom of the opera opera...I think.

It's common practice for stage actors of either sex to play characters of either sex. It's practically a tradition in Asia, where qilin/ kirin are from. Not saying MLP kirin are from some sort of "East", but food for thought.

I personally think it would be wildly interesting if kirin have no males, both from a xenobiological/ anthropological perspective, and from a fanfic perspective. Makes me snicker about how that episode would have gone, if MLP FiM's protagonists are male rather than female.

Reading that name makes my eyes hurt :rainbowlaugh:

I completely forgot that existed thank you

Classic childrens literature never dies, even if it's totally racist.

I can't believe you tricked me into reading a Fullmetal Alchemist crossover.

Actually he's right there are Kirin males. There eyes are ovals while the females have sort of angled eyes. Like Rarity's.
