    [Normal] How exactly do you spell that owl's name anyway? I've seen approximately one hundred and six trillion variations.

    7. I personally thought it was Aluicious.

      I mean really, Twilight isn't so uncreative that she'd put 'Owl' in an owl's name, is she?

    9. Aloysius is the real Latin name. Who knows how that damn eyelashed owl's name is spelt.

    10. I may have misremembered the exact spelling, but Lauren Faust posted to the effect that it wasn't just Aloysius, but had at least one "Owl" in it. It was definitely an awkward spelling.

    11. According to Faust's dA, it's spelled "Owlowicious."

      Anyway, good story. I knew he had ulterior motives... XD

    12. Lauren Faust said it's supposed to be spelled Owlowiscious (presumably written that way on the script), but personally I think Owloysius looks better.

    21. Maybe I'm slow but I don't really get it. Whats the Owls plan?

    22. An interesting concept, but frankly, it's just too short to manage any development in the plot, let alone in the readers themselves.
