    I liked silent Derpy

  • Leila - 9 years ago

    @DarkLordFlufflecorn: They actually offended my sister with Derpy as she was crosseyed and bullied while the same people who were mean to her obsessed over Derpy. I love original Derpy most too because she reminded me so much of my sister, but I hate most of her fanbase. She's dead now because of suicied half a year ago, but I'm sure there are others like her who's offended by it. Seriously Derpy fans, if you love Derpy so much then why hate real people like her? Such people sounds like hypocrites.

    Regardless of what Hasbro wants or crusty executives order, Nowacking is the only way Vinyl will be able to ever be voiced without riot

  • DarkLordFlufflecorn - 9 years ago

    I would vote for Derpy, but I don't like the new (censored) Derpy. I prefer the original. She was kinda cute and I don't want that a cutie 'disabled' character is lost, because people thought she's offensive.

  • Vandroiy - 9 years ago

    Didn't vote because, like it or not, childish over-the-top Vinyl voiced by Nowacking is a character now, and Hasbro would probably break that if they gave Vinyl speaking lines.

    I'd like fanon Viny in the show, but NOT a fork of her. It would conflict with the meme and probably lose to it. Also, they don't really have a character like this. Pinkie is more of a genius manipulator X cartoon logic object. I don't think the two are redundant in their roles as party ponies.

  • Ed Prins-Stairs - 9 years ago

    Not a fan of the current Derpy as it's a censorship Derpy and it was a censoring of not only the character, but people like her, people like me, and my friends, and many others. The replacement Derpy is far more offensive then the original ever was.

    As for my vote, I went with Octavia as I already know the 100th episode is about her.

    @Natsu714 You're not the only one. While Nowacking has that "party voice" down, I like to think of Vinyl as being a bit more low key. She can party when it's time to party, but otherwise she's usually like you said: pretty chill. And this isn't even entirely headcanon. In Rainbow Rocks and the Music To My Ears short that precede it (and even a tiny bit in EQG1) we see that Vinyl is kinda just off in her own little world the entire time, rarely interacting with others, except when there's a party and she's the DJ. So, the most show-accurate version of her personality, so far, is that she's a quiet, laid-back gearhead (I mean come on, the laser/lava lamp transformer car and obviously all her DJ equipment), who really comes out of her shell to throw a party. She seems more interested in helping others have a great time than being "the life of the party."

    Anyways I know that goes against a lot of fan depictions of her, but that's based solely on what we see of her in FiM and EQG/RR. And I honestly like this personality more. As for the actual voice, honestly it doesn't really matter to me. But I'll actually be a little disappointed if they make her voice and actions blatantly fanservice and give us a Hasbro-approved Nowacking-y DJ PON3.

  • Natsu714 - 9 years ago

    Am I the only one that WOULDN'T be upset if Vinyl's voice didn't sound like Nowacking's? Personally I think Nowacking's voice isn't bad - but it makes Vinyl sound immature and childish, like she'd be really"AWW YEAH, LET'S PUMP UP THIS PARTY" all the time.

    I just... Don't think that's how she'd be. I think she'd be the type to be fairly chill most of the time, and mainly let loose when a party's going on.

    I don't know about anyone else, but even though I respect Nowacking and their representation of Vinyl, I'm personally sort of excited to hear what her actual canon voice will be like. Hopefully her personality will be closer to what I was hoping it'd be.

  • crapyro - 9 years ago

    I'm sure no one here will believe me, but I swear I'm telling the truth: I have never heard of the name Nowacking until reading this comment thread. Yeah, I've probably heard her voice in the handful of fan videos I've watched, but I had no idea people were so passionately (insanely? psychotically?) attached to Nowacking's voice.

    I really don't like how some people think the fandom's opinions is more important than the vision of the creative team. I know this happens in pretty much every large fandom (from what I've read... MLP is the first large fandom I've been more than superficially involved with). And I *especially* dislike this attitude when the creative team behind MLP:FiM has proven time and time again that they are able to create excellent work, even when dealing with meddling from Hasbro... in fact sometimes that's lead to some of their best overall work, IMHO. (This may be an unpopular opinion, but personally I think Rainbow Rocks is the highest quality thing the FiM team has created: the writing, characterization, story, and of course music are all nearly flawless.)

    I watch, listen to, and view fan videos, music, and art, but I just take them for what they are: fans who love the show being inspired and motivated to create their own high quality content. In fact FiM has gotten me back into drawing, which I honestly haven't done since I was a kid. I just wish people would always remember that "fanon" material can be overwritten or completely ignored by the official stuff, so fanworks should just be viewed as fun "bonus" material to the actual show.

    Anyways, that's must my opinion. I'm sure many disagree, and I'd actually really like to be able to have real, civil discussions about this type of stuff, but the EQD comment sections are terrible for discussion, and I've never really been a forum person, so I don't really know where to go to do that.

  • ShadowRose - 9 years ago

    So much for love and tolerance...you guys REALLY don't want Vinyl to talk, don't you? So sad, it'd be awesome if she talked...

  • Annie - 9 years ago

    You people are WAY to serious about your fanon, it really limits the potential of the show a LOT! I really hate when Bronies expect things to be a specific way... If I officially published fictional series (which I'm working towards to) I would do whatever I'd want, not letting people take away the things I already have planned.

  • munova - 9 years ago

    Flitter and Cloudchaser all the way.

    If it weren't for the almighty Jessi Nowack, I might be more keen on the idea of a voice for Vinyl. Maybe they would even pick out an awesome voice for her, but it'd never be Nowacking Vinyl. Somehow, though, I think I'd be more okay with Octavia being voiced (Rainbow Rocks aside).

    Lyra would be good, though. And Derpy would naturally be great, but I feel I have every reason to believe Hasbro will never allow her to speak again. I love her as she was in season 4: Present, but mute.

  • Goatmeal - 9 years ago

    I would've chosen Vinyl, but it wouldn't be Nowacking and that would just spoil the whole thing for me.

  • HalflingPony - 9 years ago

    Vinyl and Derpy are about the only two I really, *really*, would rather never have speak in the show. The rest I'm completely indifferent about.

    So, predictably, those two are currently winning.

  • Stillz - 9 years ago

    Lyra, of course...just as long as she doesn't say jack shit about humans, and is fascinated instead by how Spike sits upright. Since Spike actually fucking existed in her town a long-ass time before anyone had a CHANCE to know what humans were.

  • Wubtavia - 9 years ago

    I'd like to see Kazumi Evans do a bit more with Tavi's voice. Given that she is also Rarity's singing voice, I think it's safe to say that she could do a bit better than her EG performance.

    No doubt Nowacking won't be playing Vinyl (as she has already stated). Prepare for fandompression. This is about the studio's vision of the characters, not the fans. Occasionally they may coincide, but I'm not holding my breath this time. Something tells me they're avoiding that with Tavi's "Electric Cello Dubstep thing" so that not as much pressure will be on Vinyl. A bit disappointing to a classical purist as myself (yes, my name is ironic).

  • Pinkacalypse - 9 years ago

    I'd rather we didn't hear any new ones, As I know I'd be disappointed as I'm tied to fandom voices by this point and anything other than those would be a downgrade. If any I'd like to see Derps or Octavia (Even though I wasn't a huge fan or her canon voice) since they've already had lines and therefore can't ruin fanon (since they already did).

  • InfinityDash - 9 years ago

    We already had Derpygate, why are people so eager to create Vinylgate? You *know* there's a huge number of people will be unhappy with her voice if she speaks, since everyone's so attached to her fan voice.

    But there's a good chance she'll be speaking in episode 100, so we'll just have to wait and see. Personally, I'd much rather have Derpy speak again with her new voice, just maybe a bit less... ditzy sounding. Cute and bubbly yes, dumb sounding no. (In the modified Last Roundup, her "Yay Applejack! Woohoo!" is perfect. Her "Whoops! Myyy baaaaad!" is just kinda irritating.)

    Wow, I'm really overthinking this. Who am I kidding, no matter who speaks, even if it turns out to be blatant fanservice, I'm still gonna love it.

  • Thrackerzod - 9 years ago

    If Vinyl wasn't voiced by Nowacking or a sound a like, we'd all just have a collective heart attack.

  • Gokudomatic - 9 years ago

    @Marcsello
    Old Derpy is GONE!!!

  • Mab - 9 years ago

    It would be funny if Bon Bon got several lines, each one voiced by a different person. And nopony notices.

  • ShadowRose - 9 years ago

    Awww, so little New Derpy voice love...and Bon-Bon is awesome! I'd love if Lyra called out Bon-Bon on her changing voice. xD

    Vinyl should speak, and personally, I don't care who voices her. Nowacking has a great voice for her, but I have a feeling the fandom will implode if she has a different voice actress than her, which will be disconcerting. I think Octavia or Vinyl should speak. I'm not a big Dr. Who fan, so him speaking wouldn't do anything for me.

  • Marcsello - 9 years ago

    Why new Derpy?? I Like the old derpy .. the original one :(

  • Alienpope - 9 years ago

    New Derpy? what does that mean? what's wrong with just "Derpy"?

  • SPITZtheGOD - 9 years ago

    I think I would be really upset if Vinyl spoke and it wasnt Nowacking's voice....

  • Natsu714 - 9 years ago

    I demand an option for "Old Derpy". :C
