Ok, so I just found you but I had to read all of your bugmuffins comic, it's so cute.

But there's a part that left me confused, that I know is not important for the main plot of this comic, but if you could explain I would appreciated,

You comment on Sunset and the human world: But here they are already humanoid? besides the lack of magic (which later stops being a thing) how does the human world differ from this one? how would the events of Equestria Girls play in the version?

Sorry to bother you once again.

No bother at all! i like these kinds of questions;

so the biggest thing is that the characters in the comic are humanoid but not human- they still refer to themselves as ponies, changelings, pegasi, etc. etc. and still have all the same magic as in the show-

the human world is *our* world, and I do mean that literally- Sunset is currently walking around in our world, so the events in Equestria Girls do go a little differently-

Sunset arrives in the human world through a portal in a statue- when she arrived she still looked how she did in Equestria (with a horn and neon coloured skin) and uses a spell to disguise herself

Sunset siphons magic from the portal so she can use it to take over not just the high school but part of the town surrounding it; her magic though is causing irreversible damage to the students (psychosis, deformities) and is only taken down when Twilight chooses *not* to use magic to beat her. (they fist fight)

That's sort of my quick rewrite of the first movie, Rainbow Rocks I would actually keep mostly the same- though it's more framed as Sunset doesn't use magic and she's watching her friends experiment with some leftover magic- but when the sirens come they defeat them and Sunset decides to seal magic away from the human world for good-after this Sunset turns fully human and loses all magic and her horn- though she sees this as a good thing.

Friendship Games would also play out relatively the same as Sci-Twi basically cracks open Sunset's seal on magic.

In the Bugmuffins timeline, it's after the movies and she is currently travelling around the world seeking out other folks like her; lost magic beings or maybe other ponies in disguise, just soaking up all the knowledge she can.

Hi! Question, chrysalis gives off kind of neurodivergent vibes to me(aka I relate to her in some of these) but was that the intention? I think its sweet and i didn't know bugmuffin was a ship til I binged all the comics and I adore it now!

I am so glad you are enjoying the comic and the ship!!

I am personally neurodivergent and some of these strips are based (loosely) on interactions I've had with friends and therapists and loved ones

and I do write Chrysalis with a very specific mindset, someone who is carrying a lot of baggage but is masking to the best of their effort and definitely has a hard time regulating emotions, especially positive ones

but please tell me! which comics did you relate to the most I am so curious!

sketches of the next three chapters of Bugmuffins is up on patreon!

[stevetwisp]

I just found Bugmuffins and it is ADORABLE. I love it so much! I haven't seen much like this from the community in years! I really enjoy it! I hope to see more!

thank you so so much!! i appreciate you checking out the comic!!

[stevetwisp]

So im curious coffee is naturally toxic to alot of bugs. So ya think changelings would avoid it? Idk lol i was looking at chrysalis freaking out an my mind went there. Also lol love your art hope your well.

LMAO you know what she probably thinks its disgusting, even more than any other regular food or drink- and probably does make her sick!

but also i think if you dump like a ton of sugar on it, she'll consume it like a butterfly to nectar HAHA

[stevetwisp]

Who win twilight vs rainbow dash vs pinkie pie vs fluttershy vs applejack vs rarity ok but who you actually think win in the fight but good joke

probably twilight, she's kind of a demi-god

i dont care that pinkie pie can break the fourth wall- she wouldnt fight her friends

twilight would

[stevetwisp]

Think about the most gay episode of mlp I knew you can think of one

top of my head, All Bottled Up with Starlight and Trixie- Trixie literally gives Starlight a heartfelt speech where she tells her she loves her 😭🌷
