here’s qsmp character names in thai script the pronunciation is the same as english i use their native language pronunciation as a reference also so for funsie i’ll write them in both the proper way of english to thai lexical borrowing and in the way that teenagers/internet would write (long story for next time on why) AND if i’d see some thai person with that name
tldr: the template would be “lexical borrowing” - “internet lingo” - “y/n that i would see this name irl”

I've been seeing a whole lotta Qsmp x MLP talk recently and since I'm in the process of rewatching seasons 5 to 9 of MLP friendship is magic it got my brain gears turning and I just couldn't help myself from writing this down :,D
I think it's obvious that the Cucuruchos and The Watcher would be alicorns. Both cucuruchos would have cutie marks reining over perfection and happiness, respectively, while I think The Watcher would probably be something like chaos (now that I'm thinking about it, the two perfectly contradict each other, don't they??) or madness
Madagio would also probably be an alicorn, though I don't know what his special talent/cutie mark would entail. The Enderking would maybe be the dead ghost of an alicorn? I don't think there are any gods in mlp (though I guess that's what au's are for) besides Discord, and we all know what Discord's like, mismatched and stuff and more like a serpent
NOW, TO THE GOOD STUFF !!!!
These might be some hot takes but I'm making most of this up as I go, couldn't resist making a list of these funky little cubitossss
(edit: future me talking here, I completely forgot about a lot of the other species at the time of making this; dragons, changelings, griffins also I think???? I may make a continuation of this where I change some of them into different kinds of races seen throughout MLP)
