Hey.

Hey what if I said Artificer au where after murderating the hell out of yet another scavenger camp she finds a gaggle of tiny puffball scav kittens (scittens) tucked away in a pipe and realizes she just slaughtered every possible parent of this litter and wonders how many babies she left orphaned in the wake of her warpath?

What if I told you she knows she can't make amends for her genocide, but she can protect these kittens now. That, at least, she can do.

Lady Mi Amore Cadenza

Sorry it took so long, it will definitely happen again, now without further adieu, here's au Cadence! Lore under the cut :>

Cadence was born a pegasus to presumably pegasi parents, she has no memory of her birth parents and was found on the outskirts of a northern town as a toddler. She was wrapped in a cloak far too big for a foal, she was well fed but cold, confused, and alone. An elderly couple from the town adopted and raised her.

Despite lacking a horn Cadence showed incredible proficiency in love magics as she aged, wherever she went love and light followed. She attained alicorn status at a very young age, beloved by her town already, after saving it from a malicious sorcerer the outpouring of love from the town filled her with magic and in a sharp burst of lights and colors Cadence transformed.

In the modern era the only known alicorns were goddesses, so the townsfolk believed they had just witnessed a divine birth, word was sent to Canterlot, and Celestia herself came to meet the newly minted alicorn. The town held a festival to welcome the sun to their home. Celestia spoke with Cadence, the old goddess had privately grown lonely in the absence of her sister, even with the many many friends she's made over the centuries, so she extended an offer to young Cadence. 'Come with me to Canterlot, be my niece and I will be your mentor.' it was worded like a command, but Cadence understood the subtle plea for company. She didn't feel like a goddess, but maybe the sun would show her what it felt like, and maybe the sun needed someone to love.

Cadence remained in the company of Celestia for two decades learning the life of royalty and divinity, she never felt any more like a god than when she started, but she was happy.

Her true ascension would come when she defeated Sombra and returned the crystal heart to the crystal empire. Celestia dubbed Cadence the crystal princess, and moved her into the crystal palace. The crystal ponies were at first concerned about this ruler they hadn't chose, but Cadence proved unfavorable to leadership, she held elections for the crystal ponies to choose a council, then left the council to run itself, in the meantime dedicating herself to the restoration of the empire and the healing of it's citizens.

In this au she and Shining Armor would not meet until he was already captain of the guard, after she moved to the crystal empire they remained pen pals, sending increasingly romantic letters until finally they married a few years later. Cadence had met Twilight and they got along very well, maintaining their own stream of letters and becoming good friends, as ponies who loved Shining Armor, and as current and past proteges of the sun.

The wedding was chaos, but that's a story for another day >:)

The Royal Sisters

Finally after so much anticipation (from me), I have finally completed the drawing set to introduce my mlp au! No name yet but it's mostly about the effects of godhood on a person. Lore and individual drawings under the cut!

The Royal SIsters were not the first alicorns, but they were the first pony goddesses.

Luna was the first to undergo apotheosis when she wrestled control of the moon away from gravity, she used this power to standardize the moon cycle, which stabilized the tides. She had always been of the night, drawn to those dark quiet places under the stars, and now she was a part of it.

Celestia was the second, after witnessing her sister's feat she in turn took a chance and conquered the sun. With the sun reigned in the days were made short and regular, following the 24 hour cycle now observed instead of lasting nearly a week as they had before. Celestia had not cared much for time before she harnessed the sun, but as worship and praise for her achievement grew, as she and her sister gained status and power, so did her arrogance.

Eventually, Luna became bitter as the masses praised her sister and paid little mind to their other newborn goddess, the one who had done it first, and had done it with no evidence it could ever work. At first she only withdrew, shying away from the daylight and Celestia and spending her time hidden away within her wing in their castle, but over the centuries as the mortals dismissed her and slept through her beautiful night, she became embittered, she became angry.

By the time Celestia noticed something was wrong it was too little too late, she had been consumed with feeding her ego on public adoration for a millennium. They had both become something larger than life, neither of them fitting comfortably in mortal buildings anymore, but where Celestia had been absorbing light and wonder, Luna had been shunned, no friends, no followers, no audience, just herself and her guard, night after night after night slowly succumbing to the rage in her heart.

Celestia confronted her sister, prepared to set things to right like she had when they were bickering fillies, but instead she was faced with a shadowed fury that called herself Nightmare Moon, who said she would not share the sky with the sun's vain little face any longer, the sun was eclipsed by the moon as the Nightmare lunged.

The battle was long, and hard, and there were casualties. Gods do not clash quietly. The Castle of the Two Sisters was destroyed, and those servants and guests who did not leave fast enough were killed in the conflict.

Many hours after the fighting began, it was ended with a luminescent blast that was believed to have surely killed the goddess of the moon, leaving only the impression of her burned on its face, only Celestia knew that her sister had been banished, and she knew it would be a long long time before she could come home.

In the aftermath, Celestia fled the old ruined castle in the everfree and founded Equestria's capitol city of Canterlot, where she would wait for the day she could have her family back.

Just noticed something here while getting references for the drawing set I'm working on

Look at the stained glass windows of Flurry and Twilight

We know you have to do something great to get on a window, but what's so interesting to me is that they're pictured here in the exact same position, with their horns lit up and whatever great achievement they made depicted below them, for Twilight that's Starswirl's spellbook and her own friendship book, for Flurry it's whatever she did with the crystal heart!

I think these stained glass princesses tell us something about equestrian art! I think that the pose they're in is the stock pose for equestrian royalty, maybe even specifically alicorns!! You don't have a lot of room to tell a whole story in one image (like stained glass windows), and humans have developed various cultural shorthands for events in art, my favorite example being the art featured on ancient greek pottery, so it would make sense that the ponies might have as well!

This is drawing is a bit old now but genuinely one of my cutest works ever

I drew this when the idea that t.rex was actually three separate species was floating around, I think I titled it something like "The Queen and the Princess".

I seriously love this drawing though, the impressionistic watercolor background and the fluffy little baby with the much bigger mama, ough

Day 17: Incommunicado

The internet went down a few days ago, cable stopped working this morning. On top of that, the promised supply trucks never came, and her cupboards are almost empty.

Felil is going to risk a trip to the corner store a mile away for some freezer meals and non perishables to tide her over a few more days while she figures out what to do.

It's deathly quiet outside, no birds, no breeze. Nothing. She chalks it up to the late hour and steps onto the street.

Non-optional weekly enrichment for a bird and his fairy friend

These are just some silly little minecraft characters belonging to me (the avian) and my dear friend (the fairy). I don't draw them often but I do think they're very silly!
