Vinyl Scratch (also known as DJ Pon-3) is a minor character in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Owing to her unique role in the show, she gained a significant following in the Brony community through numerous fan productions. Given the lesbian implications of the character, Chris developed a fixation with her. In 2018, he saw fit to insert this intellectual property into his own comic book series.
Background
In the My Little Pony canon, Vinyl Scratch is a DJ who is usually seen as a background character in party scenes; it should be noted that both human and unicorn counterparts of her exist in the franchise. Not long after her first appearance, she became very prominent in fan productions, especially with an association to EDM music. She is often paired with cellist Octavia Melody, and is frequently implied to be in a lesbian relationship.[2] With Chris' outing as a "lesbian transwoman" in the spring of 2015, it should come as no surprise that Chris revered this relationship — aligning with the desired conclusion to his Love Quest.

Cosplay
- Main article: OmegaCon
Most notably, in August 2015, Chris attended OmegaCon, where he cosplayed as Vinyl Scratch.
Nowacking
In the Brony community, the most popular productions with Vinyl Scratch feature the voice work of Nowacking.

During BronyCon 2018, rather than leaving well enough alone, Chris devised a plan to redeem himself in the eyes of Nowacking by presenting him with a drawing and a Vinyl toy. However, Chris was left upset when the voice artist rejected the truce.[7]
This rejection lingered in Chris' mind for a long time, as in April 2020, the Sonichu-"possessed" Chris acknowledged his mistakes at BronyCon (which he went on to refer as a "PTSD moment"). That being said, he still sought interaction with the voice actor.[8]
In the comic
Vinyl Scratch makes her Sonichu debut in the glorified Brony fan fiction, Sonichu #12-9.
