I know how to use Wikipedia, thanks . And that's what I was referring to lol. Japan's "Qilin" is giraffe-deer-like in appearance according to the legend. There is literally no comparison to a westernized Unicorn hybrid that the fandom apparently adopted, hence my post. I'm not sure what it is you're trying to correct me on.
Until and unless we get a canon word for a Pony/Dragon hybrid, we only have the fanon terms to go on. The accepted fanom words for such a creature are Kirin and Dracony. I'm fully aware of what a Kirin actually is, just as I am fully aware of what a Hydra and Manticore are actually supposed to look like. - - Auto Merge - -
No, it doesn't really work that way. This thread is what would you would like to see in MLP. You want to see the fandom depiction of Qilin/Kirin, that's fine. But arguing fanon that is "popularly accepted" as fact to someone who wants to see Qilin as depicted in real life legend has absolutely no grounds . I'm not saying one is right or wrong, because it's basically apples to oranges. That's my point. Frankly, I don't care what the fanon says, because of the fact that it is fanon. I go by no terms until it something actually comes out as confirmed canon. You can't decide that for other people, only for yourself.
The argument isn't that fanon is popularly accepted in general. That would be untrue. I'm making the argument that fanon is popularly accepted within the fandom. That's kinda the definition of fanon, isn't it? Considering that EP is an MLP fansite, citing MLP fanon for something that only concerns the MLP universe seems reasonable to me.
You misunderstood. I did mean accepted within the fandom, because that is the definition. Again though, there's no written rule that everything else needs to be thrown out because it wasn't "decided upon." I want X thing to happen...Oh crap! The fandom says no, guess I gotta forget about it....give me a break. Sent from my XT1080M using Tapatalk
Since they've mentioned it numerous times, probably Tartarus. I'd be interested to see what artstyle they would approach such a dark and grim place with.
Loss. Death might be a bit too extreme, but it's already been very vaguely hinted at before. Barring something as powerful as death, loss of dreams might be a good one. I think the greatest example of loss in the series is when Rainbow Dash loses Gilda as a friend, or the powerful moment when she forsakes her dream of being a Wonderbolt because she believes it goes against her morals. I'd love to see the show tackle various facets of bullying. They touched into things with Babs Seed, but what about what makes Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon tick?
