OMG I need that little pink piano too...seems I don't know G4 as well as I thought I did.
Quote from: lostpony on April 03, 2017, 10:15:42 PMOMG I need that little pink piano too...seems I don't know G4 as well as I thought I did.The piano came with the wedding castle (the one w/ Shining Armour) Not sure if "alicorn" is a D&D term or not.. I'd always heard it used to refer to unicorn's horns before FiM adopted it as the "official" term for a unicorn w/ wings. I think FiM got it from the fandom but idk where they got it from.
I know that Piers Anthony used the term "alicorn" for winged unicorns in his Xanth books. I don't know if he was the first to use it for them or if he got the idea from a different source. Anyway, it was widely used in the MLP community before G4; heck, it was widely used during G2. "Check out this pony I drew, she is an alicorn with a heart symbol", etc.I like the term alicorn. "Winged unicorn" seems to downplay the pegasus aspect, implying that being a unicorn is more important. And the other fan-terms that used to be around just sounded silly IMO. (Pegacorn sounds like a foot disease.)
Yes, let the horned pegasus fly free, lol.
Mmmmm custard pie...Comb my Hayer. I'm pretty!
I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but I think that the intonation of German Sweet Talking Pony declaration of love could not be more lacking in love if she tried. Consequently I find it hilarious and thus my German STP is my favourite
Re alicorns, prior to discovering MLP I had only ever heard alicorn used to refer to the stuff that unicorn horns are made of, so it really grated to hear ponies referred to as alicorns. But what else to call them? Nothing else sounds right.

Meanwhile the Spanish talking ponies sound very bossy! "Comb my hair! Give me a little kiss! Let's go and play!" Yes, ma'am, right away, ma'am!

But what else to call them? Nothing else sounds right.No kidding. They're so much fun. The German one sounds kind of...fed up. The Spanish one is super-demanding and the English one sounds like an airhead.If anyone has not heard these, I have soundbytes on my site here:http://www.etherella.com/scrapbook2/1992_sweettalkingponies.htmI remember inventing a lot of winged unicorn ponies as a child and I used a weird word (I was eight, don't kill me) which was something like "unicus".If strawberries are involved, I will be keeping them. You can have the custard, but I want the fruit.
*Hands over strawberries*
