Vinyl Scratch or Octavia?

[Umbral Noir 1,556]

I can't decide which of the two I like better. I love dubstep, but I'm also a cellist. Which pony does everypony prefer? Also, please include a reason for your choice.

OCTAVIA IS BEST BACKGROUND PONY. No, but seriously, I love Octavia and she is my absolute favorite background pony. She has a beautiful character design, she plays the cello (a beautiful instrument) and she has an adorable accent. (According to the fandom videos) Vinyl Scratch is cool too, but she is a bit overrated in my opinion. (No offense Vinyl Fans. Don't worry, I still like her.)

 

Whoops, I forgot to mention that I love her classyness (Is that a word?) and that she is mature. And she is adorable no matter what she does. Thanks for reminding me,

Definately Octavia <3
 

 

I have a headcanon that she's secretly also a guitarist, with a personality (and hairstyle) similar to that of Joan Jett. Some day, I'm going to write a fanfiction about that.

 

Also her design is very cute, her fan voice is cute, and she's one of those characters that hasn't had an overwhelming amount of character elements placed on her.

As much as I love Vinyl, I love octavia even more!

She's so adorable, nice, classy, and overall the most mature background pony of them all!

Also, she's extra adorable as a filly, baby, or whatever she does!

Personally, I prefer Octavia... Overall I like classical music better... Besides... Once Upon a Time in Canterlot really sold me on Octavia... 

 

Besides... Octavia is very classy

[~Master~ Button Mash 2,307]

Vinyl Scratch. But then again, would you except otherwise from a guy with an avatar/sig like mine? She's talented, she loves to party, she's got a weaponized speaker, and most of all...

 

[Eureka 1,119]

Vinyl Scratch. She looks Dubsteppy. Wub wub wub . But I also like Octavia because she is all classy like. And that's pretty cool.

[Dr. Love 88]

You expect me to chose between the two best characters this fandom has ever given a name and personality to?

NO! I refuse to chose one of them, they're better together.

[~Sole~ 852]

Vinyl all the way, she is just so awsome. Almost as awsome as RD... almost, but not quite. Has anyone else seen epic wub time on youtube?

[Arcus (Silver Lining) Wind 982]

I'm kinda like you. I like dubstep, but I love Octavia. Of cource if it's good I enjoy orchestratel  music to. But I like Octavia more than Vinyl So that's my vote.

[ReGen 1,466]

Both. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wait, I have to choose? 

 

 

 

 

But... but... I love them both... 

 

 

 

 

Oh, don't make me choose, pleeeeeeaaaaaase! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Sniff* Fine, if I have to choose... I choose Octavia. 

 

That's dumb, I totally want both....

[one_fish_two_fish 2]

hmm, tricky. they both have parts that I love. their both badass, whether you prefer bass cannons or kung fu. actually  I remember a fanfic where octavi was also a ex fencer. pretty badass. but then again, vinyl has this awesome madness to her, she's like a wub-derful version of the pinkster, only with bass instead of reality warping. 

 honestly, I prefer octy in terms of fanfiction/art,

but over all vinyl wins. And here's why: http://www.youtube.com/user/VinylScratchDjPony?feature=watch

yes, this is technically a completely different person, but hey, I can dream. so far, Vinyl is the only character period to have made music. not music about, but stuff writer BY her. that's badass..

[Antismurf9001 1,271]

I prefer classical music, so Octavia is easily my favorite.  I also find her bowtie to be absolutely fascinating for some reason.  Vinyl's shades are interesting, but there's something about that bowtie....  I don't know.

[Mars Caramel 319]

This is quite like deciding between dubstep and classical music, since Vinyl Scratch and Octavia are seemingly both representatives of the two genres.

 

I like them both, but I would prefer Octavia and classical music.

[Sir.Flutter Hooves 2,953]

Is this even a question? The right answer is Vinyl Scratch (if you like Octavia more, I support your choice). I never really like classical music, but I love me some wubs, and Vinyl has the best wubs eva!

[Scootalove 10,684]

Really hard for me to decide from the two out of three best background pony musicians. I usually like wubs and I never really understood classical music until I saw Octavia. Hard choice.

[lincolnshirepony 527]

Aw, I love both of them. I prefer Vinyl's design; it's pretty rad. But I'd rather listen to Octavia's music. Since little is really known about either of their personalities outside of fanon, it's hard to say. I guess I'll pick Vinyl since design is the most prominent thing about them in show. 

[Antismurf9001 1,271]

That's not entirely true...  I found this channel quite a while ago while searching the dark depths of Youtube.  It just seems to be a lot less well known and doesn't include any animations.

This thread appears to be discussing MLP:FiM in some way, shape or form. Thus, it has been sentenced to Show Discussion.

 

This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

[Fhaolan 4,468]

I don't really understand. This is a false dichotomy. This is no reason why classical-style music and modern electronica (such as dubstep) cannot co-exist. For example:

 

 

[NightOwl 911]

I think they are both awesome because i'm a fan of music in general but If I had to choose just one of them I'd pick Vinyl because I love her style more . 

[just ignore me 86]

Well i found the show while looking up stuff for apoctolyptica and i found this picture. http://cheezburger.com/6927889408 I then proceeded to fall in love with the show and every aspect of this wonderful fandom all because of Octavia. So yes i cast my vote for Octavia.

[Pixel Mouse 84]

Class above all else. Vinyl Scratch is pretty sweet, but I can't honestly say I like dubstep, and being a big fan of classical music... Well, what can I say?

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364]

Octavia is like in my top five. I frickin' love Octavia, on the other hoof, i'm not such of fan of Vinyl. Maybe it's because I'm not such a big fan of EDM and stuff. (If you know who I am, then you prabably know what music I like.)

[Shanks 10,811]

I like them both equally, they are both tied for my 2nd favorite background pony. As a musician I have been exposed to many different forms of music and like both the classical style of Octavia and the epic wub, boggie all night style of Vinyl Scratch.
