Getting over his delusions and overcoming his fears was the point of post-Deanna DQ, besides the bucket list stuff. Thus, spider. The horse was always planned, but not always planned to come back. I thought it would be heartwarming.
The cat is there because Littlebit, my kitten who was used for the photo, demanded I put her in my work and she makes the rules around here. There's a reason her nickname is Bosstough. In fact she was very nearly credited as 'Bosstough Plante' instead of the correct 'Littlebit "Bosstough" Plante'. If it hadn't been corrected, I wouldn't be alive today. I would make a joke about her resemblance to a certain dictator that was kind of a jerk but that offends and upsets her.
And when Bosstough gets upset, worlds are destroyed.
As for their names, all three were the subject of a vote, and I honestly just went with what I liked the best, though every time it was quite close. Rainbow Dash became Binky because the horse didn't like the name Rainbow Dash. "I am not a pony, I am a magnificent steed" he told me on the set one day. Talking horses are such prima donnas.
I don't remember the real reason I changed it, so the above is the canon reason now. It wasn't an insult towards bronies though, I have nothing against bronies. Do you like something? Yes? Is it hurting yourself or anybody? No? Then do it. (I have never seen the show, but I did watch Pinkie Pie bark at a shelf for 15 minutes on Youtube once.)
As for Charlotte, well, that's pretty obvious. I personally wanted Gohma, but I reference stuff I'm into enough as it is.
As for the overall "Why the pets?" question? Because it was funny.
