My "It's canon, dammit" comes from the start of Art Is The Weapon where Show Pony snatches up the gun that's hanging on the side of Dr. D's chair. Now... given it's pink it might be his rather than Dr D's (which was my first thought) but it's still the fact he took something hanging off Dr. D's chair and Dr. D didn't even blink.

That strikes me as one of those things you have to be *really* up close and personal to get away with, you know?

I've been trying to come up with a name, tried on a few and discarded, not really sure where to start. (Also trying to come up with other people's names is a bugger - I'm attempting to write some Dr. D/Show Pony fic and there are OCs need to be referenced, and... they need names, dammit! Which keeps taking me out while I stop and think.)

Okay, I think my favorite shot out of that sequence is Show Pony sitting on the edge of the desk. Personal space, what personal space?

Some of the non-main names seem really... wtf. niqaeli gave me hairy eyeball about following @TommyChowMein. Of course, she also cracked up at Fun Ghoul (she heard "fungal," and wants SOMEONE in our circle to go for Valley Fever.)

And some canonical ones (If you have band-created stuff as being canonical even if it doesn't show up in the "main stuff") don't have names - the boy who phones in to Dr D's Listening party calls himself Crash Kid Jim - we've heard Crash Queens being used as a general term, so I don't think that's personal to him, I think "Crash kids" is just a name for people out there in the Zones.

And oh yes. He's all over Dr. D's personal space. Which seems to me like a pretty telling sign.
