It could be because there are so many images and stories made of those other characters especially luna. Since they have so little known about them writers and artists can use their imagination to create what they may do outside the 15 seconds we see them in the series such as Derpy and Dinky Hooves things.

But none of that is canon, so I don't see why people latch onto it. Then an episode comes along and destroys all the fanfic stories and fans actually get pissed off. It's just mindnumbingly stupid.

And don't forget Vinyl Scratch, who not only didn't get a line but got all of three seconds of airtime through the entire series to date.

It may be silly but people will latch on to what they will. On a side note it is quite entertaining listening to them come up with solution to explain the discontinuity. Oddly enough I haven't seen anyone note that it was a "Sister"hooves social not a mother-daughter-hooves social so Dinky wouldn't go with Derpy anyway.

Southern accent is great.

It gives her very good personality.

I find her accent rather annoying though it does play with her character much better than someone like Twilight or Rarity.

Spike breaks the fourth wall pretty frequently, too. That's why he and Pinkie Pie were the only characters to notice that the Mane Six turned gray in the Return of Harmony Part II.

I don't understand why people latch onto such secondary or tertiary characters. Luna was in two episodes, had one sentence in one, and was a pants on head moron in the other.

Then there are the people who go "LYRA IS MY FAVORITE" or "SPITFIRE IS MY FAVORITE" or other characters that have between zero or one line in the whole show.

There is a name for this phenomenon that I can't quite remember what it's called. The first I've heard of it was for Death Note with Matt. You see him twice in the series. Him playing a video game then him getting shot. Now he has so much fanart it's ridiculous.

NO U >:[

If you like a background character as your favorite because of the fanon, then you like a character that's outside of the show. Since the question of "who is your favorite pony" usually means "who is your favorite pony from the show" and not "who is your favorite pony, including non canon material", then you're just not answering the question. Slutfox42 might have made an awesome backstory for Bon Bon, but that isn't canon and shouldn't make Bon Bon your favorite character. The fact that Slutfox42 chose to write about Bon Bon and not his own custom pony seems kind of arbitrary to me, since the backstory could have easily applied to both.

Because the fandom has used their imagination to give them names, personalities, and back stories. That's why I like Octavia. I like the fan given personality she has, and the fanfics that I've read where she is featured are really good.

Pinkie Pie is still my favourite though.

I used to think that as well. But then I heard AppleJack.

Background ponies are still ponies. If you want to know what someones main 6 favourite is, then ask "Who is your favourite main 6 pony?" not "Who's your favourite pony?"

Actually, it should be phrased "who is your favorite canonical pony" since someone could still like someone who isn't the main six, like Cellestia (or god forbid, someone from the CMC)

But I still think it's fucking stupid to like a pony simply because of the fanon, which isn't part of the canon or anything of real merit.

I LIKE YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE BEST FANFICS

It's stupid.

I really don't see where you're coming from. At all.

All I can see is you getting mad because some people have a favourite pony that isn't part of the main 6, and I find that a lot more stupid than someone liking a character because of a fanfic.

I dislike it in that they like something the fans came up with and not the people who create the show. To me, those things are separate.

Plus, it seems like they like those oddball characters to be different and kewl, which also pisses me off.

Well would anyone really want to write about a loser pony who is very normal and has no interesting facts about him/herself. Even if someone did it wouldn't get noticed or cared for.

That's not the point. The point is, people are choosing fan made stuff over the show and going "THIS PONY IS MY FAVORITE BECAUSE DICKWOLVES6456 WROTE AN AWESOME FANFIC" which is completely separate from the TV show. When I ask for an opinion about the show, I mean the show, not this niche fanfic market that has little continuity to itself.
