What Are Your Thoughts on Muffins?

Recommended Posts

What is your personal opinion on Muffins? (Formerly known as Derpy Hooves, or "Derpy" for short.)

I honestly found her quite aderpable, and when she was given her own scene with Dr. Hooves in the 100th episode (Slice of Life), I was ecstatic. Although, I do believe that her previous voice actor no longer provides her voice of something? I cannot remember.

She's my favorite background pony. She is a little clumsy but well-meaning, which makes her very adorable. The fact that her appearance in the show (beyond her debut) is essentially a shoutout to the fandom is also wonderful. I especially loved her in "Slice of Life", though "The Last Roundup" and many of the smaller appearances were also great. As for the voice change, she has always been voiced by Tabitha St. Germain, she just does a different voice for her now. Derpy may not have appeared that much compared to some other characters, but I still consider her a crucial part of the show. :muffins:

In my Opinion Derpy is a very cute Pony. Yeah cute. She's some kind of I would say clumsy but that´s the thing I think is actually so cute. She's one of my favorite background Pony and out there are some very good fan made drawings with and about her.

Derpy is so cute. :squee: A bit clumsy, sure, but I think that adds to how lovable she is. She is carefree and optimistic, which we see when she shows up in Rainbow Falls. And she is somewhat naive, but again, it adds to her charm.

Oh, and movie spoilers below:

Let's be honest, Derpy is the true hero of the movie. If it weren't for Derpy blocking a magical blast, things would have turned out a lot worse for the Mane 6 and the princesses.

I haven’t seen the movie, why do I keep seeing people say that wasn’t what she was trying to do?

Perhaps her actions were unintentional. But regardless, she was in the right place at the right time.

I had no clue we were calling Derpy “Muffins” when did that happen? :P 

She was officially called Muffins most likely because of legal reasons. After all, the name Derpy can be seen as a derogative in some circles. I personally don't see it that way but others certainly do.

What are my thoughts on Derpy? 

She's my second favorite Pegasus after Rainbow Dash, and overall I love the sense she brings to the show, Whenever Derpy is on screen, I feel like that's the show acknowledging us as fans, because Derpy has been the face of this fandom for years now. Even though she doesn't appear too often I absolutely love it when she does appear! Often times when she appears she's doing what she does best, being Derpy! I think Derpy's presence in the show (and in the movie too) is one of the biggest marks our community has made on the show thus far, taking a background character that originally wasn't even supposed to be seen, to becoming a reoccurring background pony :derp:

There, I corrected you.:smug:

But on a serious note, she's one of the cutest ponies. I don't get why people find her offensive. In fact, I think most of the ones who seem to have gotten 'offended' aren't even people affected with any form of disorder. That's just am assumption, though.

I think they could have handled it better when they used the name Derpy in season 2, however. I don't think it was a good call to make rainbow dash get 'annoyed' at her, for obvious reasons. That's the only problem I have with it though.

Indeed. If Spike can be claimed a hero for saving the Crystal Empire twice by being in the right place at the right time, then Derpy certainly should get the same kind of credit for her actions, unintentional or not.

She makes me think of myself because...

 

1. She's incredibly clumzy and I'm clumzy also,

2. Due to her crossed eyes I can assume that she has difficulty in seeing things (well that and she crashes a lot) meanwhile IRL when my eye-strain acts up, I end up not being able to detinquish edges so I end up bumping into things (and people),

3. she appears to have amnesia, and my memory is utter shit!

 

and there's more I'm probably forgetting

The show may call her muffins but we will always know her as "The Great and Aderpable Princess of The Brony Nation"

she was the first time I ever cared for a background character in any show, I swear I cried a little the first time she spoke. And the fangasming only continued in episode 100
