Mine was definitely "Rainbow". I feel as if the only thing I need to say is that, celebrities usually get famous for a reason. I dunno what Sia's reason is, but I wanna assume it's her voice.

Who else but The Man, The Myth, The Legend... Weird Al Yankovic

^Dis one Thoughts on Peni Parker?

I mean, that's fair, but at the same time the comparison was about the plot/storyline, not about the current popularity of the material getting a movie.

I'mma be real with you: That is beginning to sound like That other Sony movie I don't wanna remember, so hearing that sony was gonna do that again, but with ponies... Also, I'm too lazy to find it. If anyone can find that one Pony Thread Simulator where 4Chan makes a movie trailer ala "Smurfs", but with ponies, That'd be great.

I prefer it's pre-evolution.

I mean, it's definitely the least flattering view for the ponies, I'll give you that, but I wouldn't say it's ugly. Lemme put it like this, I've seen both Deadpool movies in theaters, and the second one is definitely much better than the first. But just because I view the 2nd one as a 10, that doesn't really change how the 1st is a 9. It's not bad, just comparatively worse.

I mean, that's a fair criticism, but I still see this as a situation of creativity and imagination VS efficiency and simplicity. And with that viewpoint, I see the "name mashing" style of naming to be boring, very "cookie cutter"-esque, and lacking a lot of heart, which is very funny and ironic to me considering the topic of relationships, which is the point of shipping. Or at least my point. Yes, it makes things easier, but you know what else is easier? Not getting out of bed when you're too tired to go in to work. Not showering because you just don't feel like it. Not eating because you're just not in the mood, or eating too much. All these things are technically easier, but they're not necessarily better. And that's exactly how I feel about ship names as they are. And besides, when I joined the FNDM, I learned a lot of the main ship names long before I even thought of getting into RWBY shipping myself. If the community is large enough and has enough fanart, it becomes increasingly harder to not find ship art with fancier names, because you already get familiar with it though pattern recognition and familiarity. Now, if a community is too small to make such a thing work, I can understand using the name fusion method. But fanbases like us for example, who are or used to be well known for being very creative, have very little reasoning in my eyes to be lazy.

Reviving this thread with another alt ship name of more effort, Maud X Starlight Glimmer: "Power of Rock", as it references not much Maud's thing with rocks and how Starlight is just straight up super powerful, but also how they first met: Starlight asking about a rock powerful enough to hold a bunch of cutie marks.

Yeah, but again, social anxiety and fear of being different.
