I had recently thought about the preferred languages of each creature in the show based on their perspective mythology.
Here's what I came up with:
Ponies (all three, unicorn, earth and pegasi): American, Canadian and British English and Australian English as well (especially for a few of the pegasi characters in the show, namely Scootaloo's father and one of the members of the Washouts).
Griffons: Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish, Greek, Cyrillic script, Farsi
Dragons: Multiple languages, especially that of East Asia (Mandarin and Cantonese, Korean/Hangul, Japanese
Kirin: All scripts of the Chinese language, Korean/Hangul and all scripts of the Japanese language
Hippogriff: Italian, French, German, and British English The Changelings: mainly American English
I think that Equestria's main language would be English/Ponish, with secondary languages being French, Spanish, German, Portugese, Cyrillic scrpit, Arabic, Chinese, Korean and Japanese: something like this:
Reino de Equestria
Royaume d'Equestrie
Königreich Equestria
Королевство Эквестрия مملكة إكوستريا
馬術王國
이 퀘스트 리아 왕국
馬術王国
What do you guys think?
Hey all! Three months have flown by since the last journal posting on here. Things have gotten more and more tumultuous, I hope you've been hanging in there staying safe and staying positive as we go through this messed up year.
Anyways, onto the subject of this, and that is the account changes. I now have CORE and a new username. The username is in reference to the IRT lines of the NYC subway (which are the number lines). It is simplified in terms of the account name which should help visitors make it more easier to find. It is now IRT47!
Account changes have been progressing rapidly well (plus some possible new artwork on the way), so expect a lot more from this account very soon.
Recent events in the railfan community on Facebook and Instagram (especially in New York City) have prompted to me to put this on the journal here. It’s depressing the hell out of me, and it’s one thing that I wanted to get off my chest. Recently, there was a video posted to Twitter showing a bunch of teens breaking into a cab of a subway train cab (a restricted area of the train) playing around inside and dangerously opening a door while in motion. I was disgusted by what I saw and in terms of the behavior presented in that video. Making matters worse is that these teens claim to be transit fans when they're really not. They are vandals.
Vandalizing trains as well as theft of transit property are not a part of the hobby that is railfanning. What railfanning (and being a transit fan/enthusiast as a whole) is truly about is the info and history of trains, what about them that makes it work, preserving/maintaining it’s heritage through education (i.e. museums, railway preservation) and photography. Incidents like these make people think that railfans are vandals or weirdos. And it goes on causing people to look down at us like were trouble. But there’s more. There are those who take this hobby for granted, the community is a bit of a mess right now, too much drama, and it’s quite saddening that’s gone like that. Where's the civility? Where's the decency? Is it that damn hard to be civil and mature person?
With that said, I want to add this list of advice if we want to see any real change in the community.
I am just simply tired of the community being filled with immature folks and fakes like the teens in that video. It’s been too many years of the issues repeating itself over and over again. If you are not here to contribute anything to the hobby and are just starting problems or vandalize trains, please leave. We don’t need anymore troublemakers and drama. We just all want to enjoy the trains in a peaceful and legal manner.
