It's Derpy's long tenure as an adorkable background pony and her controversial first appearances, among other things, that have kept me "carrying a torch" for her all this time. But moreover, I think that she has become a lovable and irreplacable member of the recurring Ponyville cast and I believe many others feel the same since Derpy has become a sort of unofficial mascot of everything MLP. Especially after her major appearance in Slice of Life, she definitely deserveres to be promoted from "background pony", I agree. I think her many subsequent appearances have done much to prove that, though she has a vision impairment that makes her appear quite clumsy, those appearances have done much to prove that Derpy was not intended to be a disrespectful representation of anyone and I think it's time for us to be blessed by more major appearances of the pony now known as Muffins.

As for her relationship with Dinky, this is one of those rare instances where I must stubbornly stomp the ground and shout in disagreement with you. My sweet Derpy has never been deflowered! Thus for me Dinky would have to be Derpy's little cousin or sister, if any relation at all. (Takes a few deep breaths to calm down.) But I suppose I must accept that logically your theory is quite plausible as well. I suppose every Pegasi has to leave the cloud nest some time...
