hello my loves <3 do not ever, ever, ever "officially" create for an IP that you have not signed a vetted contract to be paid for. this is a tactic companies use to get a free writer's room they don't have to pay for. you won't see a cent and they will own your work. don't do it.

but i stay silly! *←said in the most world-weary voice you ever did hear*

[gearcrow]

you, artist online. somebody has referenced you in conversation irl by your online handle and somebody else knew who you were talking about. somebody has kept up closely with your posts for a period of time like their morning paper. somebody found a music artist because of you, thinks of you when they hear them on the radio. somebody followed you years ago and remembers you randomly even though they can't find you. somebody has screenshotted and saved your posts and sent them in discord servers. somebody has made your drawings their lockscreen, added them to their favorites folder and looked at them when they're going through some shit, has sent them to their best friend and sparked conversation in private chats. your art in particular could be the source of a keen sense of nostalgia for someone. maybe they've even printed out your images using their home printer and taped them to their bedroom wall and they look at it every day and they never even told you. isn't that scary? isn't that awesome? remember this well.

submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known so that you may turn around and see the impact you leave and the light you cast on others.

if you want to get better at writing then you need to get obsessed with a freaky little character and write about them a billion times

Me, writing rarity being a bi disaster in colors: god she’s such a DUMB horse

My friend in a call: the DUMBEST

Me: just so stupid, what a dumb silly horse

Me: I would die for her

Him: we all would

So there’s this scene in Colors where RariTwi made flower bouquets for each other and

—

“Rarity and Twilight,” said the volunteer, stopping any half-hearted protest Twilight might have. “Just one second.” When she came back moments later, it was with two bouquets hidden under veils, giving each their respective present. “Enjoy!”

There was a split-second pause, the two mares glancing at their hidden flowers and then at each other, both insisting, “You first!”

Another pause.

“No, you, really,” they insisted. “No, you,” they said again, and two sets of cheeks turned gray when the lingering volunteer giggled.

“You two really are soulmates!”

“I’ll go first,” Twilight finally relented, grateful when a pointed look from Rarity shoo’d the volunteer away, and then a little less grateful when Rarity’s very keen gaze was directed explicitly and intensely at her.

With a wisp of magic, the veil floated off, and Twilight found herself more than a little excited to be the recipient of an elegant bouquet of gray roses. Simple but effective, and even if she couldn’t see their colors, she appreciated them just as much.

“One can never go wrong with the classics!” Rarity exclaimed, and only with an edge of nerve Twilight barely noticed, added, “Don’t you think?”

“No, you can’t,” Twilight replied, the excited grin on her face ear to ear. “They look lovely, Rarity.”

“Oh, wonderful!” Rarity exclaimed, the slight nerve all but vanishing, now positively glowing.

“And they smell good, too,” Twilight continued, taking a whiff. “Really good, actually.”

“As they should!” she said with a nod, only to teasingly add, “just don’t take a bite out of them, or I may have a fit.”

“I would never!” is what Twilight tried to say, but whatever did come out her mouth sounded much more like a scandalized, incomprehensible sputter.
