cadence taking in shining armor's whoopsie changeling baby and he throws a big fit about it (he'll come around eventually <3)
i think he'd kinda struggle with Mimic in the beginning given he's his biological son with a creature that posed as his now wife and manipulated him. and also they dont like changelings in general so that super sucks for him lol.
cadence in contrast loves the little grubby right off the bat because it's her husband's son and also he has no one because of what he is and it's like season 2 so the changeling stigma is still pretty YIKERS amongst ponies. i think she'd just willingly offer up her love to the baby half-changeling hehe. :3 and the love metamorphosis solution discovered in the later seasons obviously hasnt happened yet.
#hes probably considered to be like super ugly but cadence unconditionally LOOOOOOVES him hahaha#My Art#My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic#MLP: FiM#Shining Armor#Cadence#Cadance#Mi Amore Cadenza#Alicorn#Changeling#Unicorn#Pony#Mimic#OC

sorry post delay uhhhh SWAP AU YAYYYYYYYY
details down below 😋🫶 (still workshopping idk might write a fic)
okok so basic swap, peri’s an anti-fairy and irep is a fairy yayyyy!! also parents swap so wanda is like the anti-fairy ruler (cosmo’s there too) and then anti-wan + anti-cos just fairy godparent for a living (absolute icons (they are HORRIBLE AT IT))
so peri is like the anti-fairy prince in the making and he’s like a big icon of anti-fairy world. irep on the other hand is fairy world’s top fairy idol and he HATES IT! LET HIM OUT!
irep also godparents at one point so slay! dev tolerates him much more than peri. irep still begrudgingly follows the rules, but he does find a way to slip past them. peri, as anti-fairy nature goes, doesn’t follow the rules as often, unless the council has something to say about it. oh, he hates the council, but they were besties at one point (at least he believed they were. they didn’t rlly like him that much).
ANYWAYS, relationship wise is weird. they got the childhood besties to rivals to head over heels kinda thing (peri more than irep). as most middle between the og and anw goes, they do get together (YAY) for a hot minute. peri wanted irep to rule by his side because it was slowly getting to be the time where he took control of anti-fairy world, but irep was like “no, but i’ll still date you” SO THEY GET TOGETHER!!!!
and then like usual it gets shot down and enters the divorce arc (not saying how that’s for a future thingy 😋)
so like during this time irep becomes a godparent and gets dev (yay) and peri is still after irep because he wants his silly fairy bf back
yikers!!!
jk
ANYWAYS that’s all i got plotted for now. they’re silly to me and i love swap aus so i gotta make one for my favs 🫶🫶
im gonna try and finish some other fics (my poor poor fic collection,,,,,) before i elaborate on this anymore in story format BUT EXPECT MORE DOODLES BECAUSE THEYRE SO SILLY (also ignore how i kept messing up their ears lol i swapped them midway oopsies) !!!!

with how king trollex react to branch?
Shock, guilt, and regret.
As I've mentioned in a previous post, Branch's egg got washed away from the kingdom due to a huge storm. By the time the egg got inland and far away from the kingdom, the Techno Trolls just realized that they're missing one (or several) eggs from the storm. Now this is pure headcanon from me, but I like to think that Trollex is not that far off in age to Branch, say 4-6 years older than him at the very least. So while he's not king yet when it happened, he still felt guilt for losing the egg and causing the parents (still debatable as to who gets the honor) massive grief.
When World Tour happened and when, in Volcano Rock City, he saw one of his own kin fly from an air balloon and started brawling with the Queen of Rock for possession of the guitar, safe to say he was shocked and concerned for his safety. It turned to horror when Branch got rock zombie'd (plan to draw a design of that in the future). I'll explain more about this in my World Tour post later on.
Once that whole fiasco was done and some time passed, Trollex then felt regret that he couldn't save Branch sooner and let him suffer all his life. If only he knew that the egg survived, Branch would be with his own kind, living a happy and free life, and not one filled with pain and suffering. Finding out that he turned Grey for 20 years practically tore Trollex's heart apart, racking up his guilt even further.
Pretty sure Techno Reef had not had a rave hosted by Trollex for over a week because of that.
Basically, Trollex is big sad (yikers).

I agree so much with the fact that the fandom focuses way too much on the age gap problem with Aarmau and not the other issues.
I am going to be completely honest. Their age gap issue in high school bothers me, but in MyStreet, when the reunite years later after having little contact, I don't give a shit. They are adults now with developed brains (based on the fact that in America a lot of the activities they do, you gotta be at least 21+) probably mid to late 20's. 4 years apart when one is 25 and the other is 29 is rather normal.
There are other issues than their age gap, that at the end of the day, doesn't matter when it comes to their relationship as adults.
Cw, age gaps, discussing Aphmau’s infantilisation in the context of Aarmau , Aarmau neg,
I come from the stance of. The age gap does matter, because the things that make the age gap wrong continue in the ship even after they become adults, I just think focusing solely on the age gap and not the other issues is just ignoring the other issues exist.
Like I think it’s the least of the ship’s problems, at the end of the day, there’s a lot for/against it and there will always be people going ‘lol it’s not that big of a deal’… but it’s a pretty damning piece of evidence when you bring up how the relationship is otherwise written.
Because saying that Aph is written like a child and some of the lines between her and Aaron are uncomfortable because they really emphasise a kind of maturity gap is definitely a valid criticism. It’s a weird thing they did. But you can probably just argue that they had a preteen fan base and Jess has always been known for her childish humour.
But when you bring up that Childishness and that emphasis on a difference in maturity alongside the fact that they canonically got together when he was a senior and she was a freshman… it begins to get sketchy.
Because now it’s definitely not just ‘oh the age thing was based off of their own ages!’ Or ‘oh that’s just their humour!!’ Because there’s a growing pattern. You can’t look at the 15/18 thing and then the jokes they make about Aarmau in the mini games and go ‘oh haha there’s no association here!!’
I can name an exact joke they have made about Aarmau that is… gross, and technically ‘not canon’ because its in a minigame, but these are the kinds of perspectives they have of the ship after a certain point and it… just gets uncomfortable. I won’t state the joke until I find the video, because I don’t want to make claims and not have the receipts.
But really the point is, the apology didn’t do enough apologising about the real issue. And people don’t focus on the real issues either. The highschool age gap was bad but what about every joke afterwards that played into it, even after the age gap was technically not bad anymore. The growing infantilisation of Aphmau, the growing sexualisation of her at the same time… it just became very bizarre, and uncomfortable for me even back when Starlight was first airing. And I don’t see it addressed enough. It even seeped into other series (Rebirth) and it makes me yuck out.
I need to rewatch MyS and some minigames before I have any exact examples but… yikers dude

OK SMTH IMPORTANT
if you support the hypno pizza tower au from the user nexus-edan please do not interact with me.
the au is full on fetishizing hypno stuff. and before you start yelling at me please understand what im trying to say. i understand if you ship an enemy with the other enemy i do not mind that but when your doing hypno stuff + suggestive stuff with the hypno stuff it. is reallllllly concerning. because 1) it..is rlly hard to see what is consenting and what isnt. 2) hypno stuff. there no consenting in it because. your controlling someone your not asking permission. unless they allow you to be hypnotised and please dont say it a comfort thing or smth. i rlly understand about comfort and sometimes showing it off but some comfort things do not need to be shared. i dont want to hear it. its concerning and i even asked my friends on other sites for this and they also agree how this is. very red flag-ish ig. and the thing is the user also does like reblog the artwork and other stuff-..its very "eyo...big yikers" moment
i am not asking for you to attack the user that not at fucking all what im trying to do. im just saying for the fans of pizza tower to be careful please. again i repeat DO NOT ATTACK THE USER I MENTIONED IT IS RUDE AS FUCK
#pizza tower#pizza tower au#hypno pizza tower#please dont attack the user please for the love of fucking god.#just be careful that all im saying#im also spreading awareness to this a bit.#nervous posting this tbh.#dont attack me please.

hellu hellu gloss here ( s/h, 21+ ) n happy opening day 2 us all!!! can't wait 2 get plottin n interactin w all ur cool muses ♡ im gna be writing for mr venture capitalist, wolf of ansan street, jin hansol!! he's lived in astra nearly all his life and only recently got his ass booted 2 ansan bc his rich n influential daddi-o pulled some strings to get his ass kicked out so ... awkward ... but yes!! you can find more nonsense info on hansol under the cut, but as alw, pls hit that LIKE button n ill come runnin into ur dms!!! also if u have d*scord pls pls lmk bc i cannot for the life of me keep up w tumblr ims orz edit 10/07: so i've decided hansol is gna take on a fake identity as some not-from-ansan dude named kim wonshik bc the anti-astra sentiment in nightrunners ( aka the place he's tryna infiltrate n gentrify ) is p strong and his family is too much of a household name rn!! he's gna be known as jin hansol in business and clinical settings but other times he's gna be known as wonshik but yep!! so muses from ansan prob only ever know of him as wonshik unless we plot otherwise <3
if ur an astrology h0 like me then ♡ he's a leo sun / scorpio moon / aries rising which explains a lot of his fuckassery behaviours 👅
lil backstory: his family owns cynet cybernetics, a v longstanding company and one of the major providers of androids ( aka ai robots / humanoids that run around doin ur house chores 4 u... yep... )!! they were one of the first in astra 50y ago which means hansol was born in astra!! he's Never been to ansan and honestly kinda looks down on it ( pun not intended ) so we know where this is goin 🥶
anw he's born middle child between big bro n lil sis n was unsurprisingly neglected : )) he was alm exclusively raised by cynet androids yikers so altho his physical needs were tended 2 as a kid ( 2 the point of overindulgence honestly ), his emotional needs is that year 1 science textbook sittin in the deep corner beggin 2 b read
a lot of his experience shaped who he was as a teen!! he was a bit of a black sheep n would alw get into tons of trouble like tw underage drinking and drug use n it was all rlly j his own way of trying to get his father's attention!! it seemed like those were the only times his dad ever acknowledged his existence even tho it was usually j 2 express his disappointment
meanwhile his obnoxiously overachieving older bro is taken under daddi-o's wing when he comes of age, even starts 2 intern @ cynet n this pushes hansol to clean up his act!! ofc given his track record his dad is Not goin 2 award him the same internship @ cynet so he ends up trying to prove himself in other ways aka scoring deals, funding startups w his sizeable pocket money, buying out said startups when it shows promise!! he's also a bit of a gambler n even got the rights to revel mayb ab 1y ago in a moderately high-stakes poker games so uh... revel peeps say hi 2 ur absentee owner ♡ also has a ton of body mods to help him cheat in these poker games aka cyberaudio 2 b able to pick up change in tone aka if the person is lying n cyberoptics which helps him read hidden cards!! i'll update his body mods page someday rip
ofc despite all his efforts, none of these r big enough to impress his dad so he goes higher!!! word spreads ab his 'talent' @ the game n this leads to his invitation to play a v v high-stakes poker game w the big boys aka dad's competitors friends!! it's to the point that they don't dabble in cash anymore so this is rlly The Game that would get him his father's attn if he won so he rlly goes all in!! all of the jin family members get a small share of cynet to ensure that the company stays in the family and ultimately overpowers non-relative shareholders in big decisions, n bc hansol is positive he's gna win ( bc he's cheating lol ) he bets his share of cynet eek
ends up LOSING bc it turns out they were cheating too but !! he only knows they're cheating bc he's cheating so can u imagine how that argument is goin 2 go down : )) so yeah cynet is so super impt 2 his family n his dad was absolutely livid to find out that hansol gambled his share away n chalked it up 2 his 'delinquent activities' being so bad 2 the point where it's not only detrimental 2 himself but 2 his family!!! anw 2 regain that cynet share that hansol lost, his dad reports him to the authorities for cheating ( dad obv found out ab his mods bc whose credit card do u think he's usin to install em ) n pulls some strings to get him kicked tf out of astra
so yeah now he's here!! it's been 3 months since n he's still trying to prove himself, this time 2 prove 2 his dad that he's a better businessman than his dad will ever be n the first step is 2 get himself back on astra!! of interest one of his current ventures is to gentrify the betting ring @ the nightrunners races n j make it more organised / official but understandably the nightrunners want their own representative runnin these bets so yeah this means hansol is tryna officially become a nightrunner
personality wise i'd say he's v cunning, likes to think he's more like his dad than his brother is bc he can be p cutthroat and he knows a good deal when he sees one ( n honestly it's true it's prob why his dad loathes him extra ) n he takes a lot of pride in it!! ( yeah he's got a capital D for daddy issues )
also has a bit of a one-track mind so it's like if it's related 2 wtv business venture he's focused on then he'll care 2 the point of obsession n micromanaging but if it's not a priority then he will literally pretend it doesn't exist!! what this means espc socially is if ur someone who's eg a nightrunner he'll be v present 2 u but if ur eg working @ revel he literally could not give less of a shit u prob won't even recognise him that's how absent he is
he can be really charming when he wants to be but honestly it's j part of the game, v wolf of wall street villain coded, has a predatory instinct @ pursuing wealth n will stop at nothing rlly
this is also bad but in line w bein raised by androids n just not respecting ansan at all it can sometimes feel like he's treating ansan as sorta his playground n by extension he doesn't rlly treat a lot of ppl from ansan like real humans n this may sometimes be sorta alluded to in j how he talks or the things he does......... but yeah this sorta goes back 2 his stuff w the nightrunners, like j not respecting their races n stuff n j seeing it as a business opportunity but idk!! mayb w more time in ansan he'll have a good character arc n learn 2 care for things
err as alw i've rambled on waaay too much so if uve made it this far i wanna personally thank u ♡ also below r some plots 2 get us started w the brainstormin!!
since he's p hyperfocused on the nightrunners rn i feel like @ nightrunners there'd b plenty of opportunities 4 positive n negative interactions!! mayb he's tricked u w his charm n u think he genuinely loves racing n shit teehee or ur sus ab his motivations n ur sleepin w one eye open when he's around idk!! i'd also love a nightrunner who's a friend of his ( who he probably approached when he heard ab the existence of these races ) who queued him in that nightrunners only want their own people runnin these bets, which gives him the bright idea 2 become a nightrunner!!
did i mention he loves a good gamble <333 anyone who's a gambling fiend urself pls step right up!!! he also prob places bets on fighters @ the underground so if ur muse is a fighter mayb he places a bet on u!! or against u!! hansol is also not above cheatin so imagine he approaches u n tells u to lose on purpose or smth n he'll give u money in return....
alternatively anyone working @ revel say hello 2 ur boss 😩 i imagine the prev boss was a little more hands on bc they actually cared a lil more for revel and since the ownership's passed to him it's rlly j been goin downhill... also fun thread where he dines @ revel for the first time n mayb he doesn't pay n they confront him n he's like i own this place n they're like o so ur also delusional
he honestly gets a cybermod for literally anyth ( could also b purely for aesthetic purposes honestly ) so anyone workin @ the circle installation centre and apollo medical see u for the monday am appt
he's currently staying at la mariposa ( yeah he was cut off from his fam but this is j proof of privilege 🤡 aka bein his father's son has helped him start off w a large capital to get his hands into a lot of diff businesses which are all now paying off n funding his time @ ansan )
i can also imagine hansol may not be So forthcoming ab him being from astra espc when he finds out ab some of the anti-astra sentiment so idk it would b cool if he kinda lied ab his identity to u n u bought into it n he's literally not at all the person u became friends w ( or even started dating 👀 )
alternatively if ur a diehard fan of astra he will use his birthright as an advantage : )) or if uve been to / are from astra mayb!!! yall could've known each other somehow!!
someone he's pissed off or wronged n mayb now it's comin back 2 bite him in the ass!!!
catch him at orbital sometimes bc old habits die hard
even someone workin at or used to work at cynet?? like the ansan branch or smth!! i feel like ur muse would know him bc he's part of the jin family n ngl once he finds out he's immediately gna start treatin ur muse as like an assistant or smth......... .. .. .... .... orrr mayb he will ask u for info on how daddi-o's doin idk lots of room 4 brainstormin!!
a bunch of his body mods r to make him a good poker player which is rlly handy in business bc he can usually tell when someone's lying!! maybe ur muse is tryna lie to him ab smth n hes like 🧐

A moment of silence for the golden deer girls...
jk jk! Personally I don't really hate any characters (even Edelgard, but I DO hate her stans LOL )
so to sort of reframe it.. As a writer (and in your personal opinion) how would you improve Bernadetta and Marianne as characters?
And how did Hopes do better in regards to Bernadetta?
NGL I was pretty surprised when I found out how popular they were. Though I can see them working for the JP audience moreso than the Western audience.
Like I can see why some may not like Bernadetta and Marianne when they both have passive personalities , can be extremely pessimistic, and are so wrapped up in their own anxiety and trauma to the point they don't have the capacity to deal with everything else that's going on (That and the writers 100% treat Bernadetta as a joke). Whatever the reasons are it's valid, sometimes characters just dont work for someone!
With Marianne she improves if she survives to post time skip.
With Bernadetta it kinda does and doesn't? though I think she improves in her supports with Raphael and is much more tolerable (in general) in her supports with Leonie.
This is super old and I forgot to finish replying to it but! Look! I'm replying to it now!
Yeah see when it comes to EdeIgard I actually hated her but like... not with the same vitriol I do now because of the stans. I already found the writing for her to be bad (must I once again mention for the unknown amount of times: Ashnard lol), but then the way the stans who go far beyond "I like this character" shove what you already didn't like down your throat? Yiker pikers on a stick. It's one of those things where I didn't like her, but then the fans just made it so much worse. :/
I'm definitely not a fan of the GD girls lol. I mean like I probably said in the last ask response, I don't hate Lysithea or Hilda, but I don't have a strong attachment to them. Really it's GD in general I'm not that fond of, because the only characters I care about from that house nowadays are Lorenz and Claude, with a side of Ignatz lol. That is, I'm not big on Ignatz but I do like him and he'll always have a special little place in my heart for being my very first recruit in my very first playthrough.
For Bernadetta, I posted about her in response to this ask here.
With Marianne, it's not so much that I like, actively despise her. I don't like that she's just... extremely aggravating. She does get better post timeskip for sure, but pre-skip is just awful for me.
I get having anxiety and being afraid and all that, but she takes it too far. Her insistence that "something bad will happen" is used so much that it begins to feel like a poor excuse. On the writers' part, this is irritating because they could've written a character who had anxiety and just... had anxiety. Instead they gave her the whole backstory of thinking she's cursed. I feel that she would be more relatable if she was just a normal person with anxiety.
Because of the supposed "curse", she behaves rudely to people and cuts them off to "yell" at them (not literally yell, but I think you get what I mean?). People seem to give her a pass for usually saying "I'm sorry" before leaving, but it's so abrupt and someone will just be trying to talk to her and/or be nice to her, but she makes them feel bad for talking to her and trying to be nice.
I don't know that it was meant to be intentional on the writers' part, but it comes across as disgustingly manipulative, because that's what people do irl who are trying to garner sympathy. They play the woe is me part and apologize and all that, but it leaves their conversation partner feelings badly toward themselves for doing nothing wrong.
Typically conversations with Marianne are one-sidedly complimenting her and being super nice to her with nothing in return. She makes them feel bad about talking to her, then they compliment her and are still all nice to her. It rubs me the wrong way.
The thing about Houses' supports is that even if you get to the timeskip, if you have C and/or B conversations left, the characters' personalities will still be their pre-skip personalities. Even if she's grown in her timeskip personality, I still end up having to get through supports of her pre-skip personality during the second half of the game. It makes feeling better about her growth a lot more difficult.
And like I said, I don't straight up hate her... but her attitude in the first half of the game is definitely something I wouldn't be able to put up with if I knew her irl. It also gets to the point of being so over exaggerated that I don't feel sorry for her at all anymore. At first you're like oh poor girl, but then it happens so often and with so many characters that it just gets annoying and irritating. It's a boy who cried wolf situation.
I do think she was handled better than Bernadetta in the sense that she was definitely not played for laughs, but I think that's also because there's a huge gap in understanding between the mental illnesses they have. Anxiety is much more commonly understood nowadays, whereas agoraphobia isn't taken seriously and is usually written off as lazy people who just don't want to bother going out. Since it's also become a trope, whereas anxiety is seen irl as a more serious mental illness that is almost always coupled with depression (which makes it even more extreme), it's used as lol look I know that trope, rather than actually diving into what makes people behave like that.
Marianne has some similar problems that make me not like her as Bernadetta, but they're not entirely as bad, she does get much better development, and her situation isn't meant to be funny. I don't mind her being passive and pessimistic - I mean hell I'm super pessimistic irl, thanks society! - but it's the way she treats the people around her and uses the woe is me excuse every single time.
She doesn't want to feel responsible for something bad happening, so she instead puts those bad feelings onto everyone else so they instead feel poorly and she gets to feel better knowing "nothing bad happened". It's like, oh wow, now I feel so much better since I don't have to feel responsible if they die, even though now they're upset because they think they did something wrong when they didn't. It's extremely selfish and while sometimes being selfish isn't a bad thing, imo it kinda is when someone else gets hurt for the sake of oneself feeling better about the situation.
I agree that some characters aren't for everyone! While you don't have to hate the characters to not like them, there can be some that irk you and some you just aren't interested in (I mean take Raphael for instance. I don't care for him either way. He's a sweet guy and I wouldn't want him to die! I just don't have an interest in that type of personality for a character, and also because it's so immensely tropey with little else to him that I'm just very eh about him).
So yeah, Marianne is more along the lines of I can't stand her pre-skip but I can definitely tolerate and appreciate her post-skip. The supports just make it a lot more shaky because like I said, the way they work in Houses just makes the part of her I didn't like come right back instead of me getting to see just the development.
