I'm guessing fake, but I guess we'll find out soon enough. Dick! #17 and #19 also appear to be references to film titles. And #20 is a reference to Friends. Rumble. Flim and Flam are about the only other pair of brothers that I can think of. But some of the female characters have brothers: Twilight Sparkle and Applejack.

Did that not turn out to be a rumour caused by a mistranslation?

@@Suukorak, @@nurd, I don't think it's fair to dismiss the CMCs as side characters. Rather, Friendship is Magic has three overlapping narratives. In one narrative (which well over half the show's episodes are devoted to), the Elements of Harmony are the main characters, and the CMCs are side characters. In the second narrative, the CMCs are the main characters, and the Elements are side characters. There is third narrative as well — the Apple family narrative, where episodes like Bloom and Gloom, and Apple Family Reunion, and Pinkie Apple Pie fit. Here Applejack and Apple Bloom, and to a lesser extent Big Mac and Granny Smith, are the main characters, and the rest of the Elements of Harmony, and the CMCs are side characters. There are a handful of episodes that don't fit into any of these categories. A small number deal with the Rarity/Sweetie Belle relationship, or Rainbow Dash/Scootaloo. There's a couple that focus mostly on Spike. And there's Cutie Mark Chronicles, which is primarily part of the CMC narrative, but uses flashbacks to provide exposition for the primary narrative.

Just thought I'd post this here. http://www.fimfiction.net/story/257639/

I'm RPing as Silver Spoon in EQE, and the backstory I wrote for her includes a special talent of tea-making.

Absolutely. Let them get their cutie marks and then the writers can move on from that storyline and do something else interesting with these three characters who have so much potential.

Apple Fritter is very underappreciated. She's the first Apple family member that Applejack introduces Twilight to, she helps out with not just one, but two Apple barn raisings, she's in Pinkie Pie's You Gotta Share, You Gotta Care song and dance routine, she helps plan Applejack's welcome back party in The Last Roundup, plus she's the one pony that Applejack chooses to help her with the catering at Cadence's wedding. And she's damn cute to boot.

I'm actually doing a ponified Mulan. The first chapter is already written, but needs editing. Part way through writing the second. I'm hoping to publish the first chapter in July. It will be set 1000 years before the events of Friendship is Magic, before Nightmare Moon, and before King Sombra, but after Tirek and Discord, and will deal with a minotaur invasion into the Crystal Empire and northern Equestria. Because I can't see mares ever getting discriminated against in Equestria, the prejudice angle will be against unicorns, who earth ponies and pegasi deem to be not suitable for military service.
