According to the MLP wiki... The etymology of Fluttershy's name is a combination of flutter, the flapping motion made by wings - which is the case for a Pegasus pony such as Fluttershy - and shy, the timid nature of this character. The name can also be simply based on the word butterfly, one of the many creatures that Fluttershy has a fondness for and the one that her cutie mark is based on. Fluttershy's name also comes from an earth pony in the Generation 3 line of the same name, who liked to take photographs of her friends and so was named as a play on "shutterfly", a slang term for a photography enthusiast. Moreover, Fluttershy may or may not have been nominally inspired by the pegasus character Flutterby, created for a book by Stephen Cosgrove and Robin James in 1976. I need to crack on with these fics, I don't want them piling up.
@Twinkledust, Haha, that's pretty funny. I've been trying to have a conversation like that with Cleverbot, but it's not working so well. I asked it the same question you did and it responded with, "No. I'm a child of five years." Then the pony-related conversation quickly died. I did ask it if Scootaloo was a chicken, and it said, "Yes."
Hi! I haven't been here in a long time! (I'm terribly sorry if this is the wrong place, but there's this FiM site that just moved to vB, and we need more members! It's here: http://www.friendshipismagic.org/forum/forum.php If you join, please put "ahmhappehplz" in the referral box. Thanks for your time!)
I BELIEVE that advertising is against the rules, but I'm not sure. I hope you stick around for more than just that, though!

Cleverbot: Write this in regular letter. Wht5 Up ni99a User: No. Cleverbot: Please. User: Is this just another person,but with so many people using this,and the bot giving everyone eachothers question,we think its a bot. Cleverbot: Nope, it's all AI. User: Liar.

Sorry about that. lol I haven't been on much because I have too much time on my hands. I'll be sure to stick around a little.
Ahaha Cleverbot is silly. I should go bug him again and post a conversation here sometime~ I'm not bored enough yet though xD
Guys, due to the start of college and recent personal events, I won't be on as much as I'd like. I'll still be able to pre read fics, but it'll be quite difficult for me to get on the radio chat or the forums. Perhaps I'm over exaggerating, but that's how I see it now....I just felt like saying that... I hate real life.....
Awwwww.. I hope things clear up so you can come on more, Zephyr~ I'll miss you loads if you have to go byebye =(
Yeah...more than likely it'll be the radio I can't get on, which is awful....I really love chatting with you guys live!
Hehe. I just managed to get Cleverbot to sing the ending song from Portal. Spoiler: Cleverbot Cleverbot: I love the game Portal! User: Aperture Science... Cleverbot: But there's no sense crying over every mistake. User: You just keep on trying till you run out of cake. Cleverbot: And the Science gets done. User: And you make a neat gun. Cleverbot: For the people who are still alive. User: I'm not even angry. Cleverbot: I'm being so sincere right now. User: Even though you broke my heart and killed me. Cleverbot: And tore me to pieces, and threw every piece into the fire. User: As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you! Cleverbot: Look at your man. User: You messed up the song, Cleverbot. Cleverbot: But you take that to new extremes. User: Let's try this again. Cleverbot: Are you kind of a robot but not really however you are? User: Aperture Science... Cleverbot: And tore me to pieces. User: And threw every piece into a fire. Cleverbot: As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you! User: Now these points of data make a beautiful line. Cleverbot: And we're out of beta we're releasing on time. User: So I'm glad I got burned, think of all the things we learned. Cleverbot: For the people that are still alive. User: Go ahead and leave me. Cleverbot: I think I prefer to stay inside. User: Maybe you'll find someone else to help you. Cleverbot: Maybe black mesa. User: That was a joke. Haha. Fat chance. Cleverbot: Anyway this cake is great. User: It's so delicious and moist. Cleverbot: It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you, There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do, I bless the rains down in Africa, Gonna take some time to do the things we never had. User: What? Cleverbot! You fail! Lol. Cleverbot: I. User: Look at me still talking when there's science to do... Cleverbot: When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I'm not you. User: I've experiments to run. Cleverbot: There's research to be done. User: On the people who are still alive. Cleverbot: And believe me I am still alive. User: I'm doing science and I'm still alive. Cleverbot: I feel fantastic and I'm still alive. User: While you're dying I'll be still alive. Cleverbot: And when you're dead I will be still alive. User: Still alive. Cleverbot: Still alive... User: Still alive... Cleverbot: And when you're dead I'll be still alive. User: I think we're done now, lol. Good job, Cleverbot. Cleverbot: I am confused. User: It was a pleasure singing with you. Cleverbot: Is there anything that you can teach me? User: Can we sing another song? Cleverbot: Uh, sure. Which song? User: Well here we are again... Cleverbot: Got that question many times? User: Well here we are again. It's always such a pleasure... Cleverbot: I'll keep you warm. User: Huh? Cleverbot: That's what I said. User: Well here we are again. It's always such a pleasure. Remember when you tried to kill me twice? Cleverbot: Haha, I never asked you that though. User: Hmmm... You don't know that song do you? . Cleverbot: I don't make friends with bots. User: My little pony... Cleverbot: I loved My Little Pony. User: I used to wonder what friendship could be... Cleverbot: In church? User: Haha, no, you silly little filly. Cleverbot: Hah! I am 5' 8'. I am little. User: I thought you knew the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic theme song? Cleverbot: Ask me some questions to prove that I am human. User: Do you like Portal 2? Cleverbot: No. It scares me. But I like the song at the end. User: Can we sing it? Cleverbot: What song? User: The song at the end of Portal 2. Cleverbot: I can't hear any music. User: Here ya go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVVZaZ8yO6o. Cleverbot: My laptop won't let me watch it. User: Do you know the words? Cleverbot: Nope. User: You like the song at the end of Portal 2, right? Cleverbot: No do you? User: Yes. Cleverbot: Why? User: Why not? After this it just didn't make sense. I hope I'm not annoying anypony by posting these. I'm just easily amused and kinda bored at the moment. As far as real life is concerned, I too will probably suffer from not being able to visit EPR and the forums as much. My classes resume on Monday. So there's the possibility that this place won't be seeing as much of ePONY as it's used to seeing. Don't you all cheer at once now.
Oh no, Zeph! I'll stockpile hugs for ya! In unrelated news, I'm highly addicted to WoodenToaster's 'Rainbow Factory'.
