ITS HIM!! MY BOY

LAURANCE ZVAHL’S REDESIGN IS HERE

i’ve been so excited to post this you have no idea

important notes and headcanons:

first and foremost, when Cadenza went missing so did his style. she would usually help him pick out his outfits and when she wasn’t around to help him, he just grabbed whatever he had lying around regardless of if it matched or not.

when cadenza dyed his hair back to its “natural” color it was a shade or 2 too light so as time goes on you can see it grow out.

he likes having somewhat long hair because he can put it in a pony tail and braid it an stuff.

-this next one is pretty intense so fair warning-

so when he was transformed into a shadow knight, he never technically died. he was grabbed and the shadow lord instructed gene to have him brought to the ritual table and turned. because most shadow knights are transformed before being resurrected, they don’t feel anything. laurance, however, was very aware. he could feel his soul being split in half, his bones breaking and mending themselves, his teeth sharpening, his eyes enhancing. he felt every inch of it and could do nothing to stop it. sasha is still haunted by his screams.

the only thing that got him through his time in the nether and prevented him from being corrupted by gene was that he needed to make sure aphmau was ok and that she made it home safely.

when garroth first saw laurance after he’d been rescued by ungrth, he was sure he was looking at a ghost for a split second.

laurance writes poetry in his free time, sometimes reciting it to cadenza to ask her opinion. it’s usually not great….

when laurance was about 9, both his parents died to to illness. he was forced to the streets and had to resort to stealing. he had been doing this for a couple years when one fateful day he tried stealing some bread from a little girl he’d never seen in town before. she caught him and cheerfully brought him to her fathers asking “can we keep him??” that girl was cadenza.

he hates wearing armor. it’s heavy and clunky and loud. he much prefers to wear normal street clothes much to garroth’s disapproval.

he loves cooking and does all the cooking in the guard station. he’s pretty good at it too.

he has nightmares due to his time in the nether. sometimes he’ll yelp or scream out. whenever this happened while he was living in the guard station, garroth would come into his room to pull him out of it and comfort him after he came to. garroth got hit a lot as a result. gar never minded but laurance still feels guilty.

the darkness on his fingers is due to being only half a shadow knight. the longer a shadow knight lives, the further up the darkness creeps, only stopping once the calling is answered (if you know what i mean) or until it reaches the shoulders/hips.

the tattoo on his palms are the source of all his shadow knight abilities and the scars on his face enhance them.

so… in this universe aaron is not alina’s father… it’s laurance….! he found out about aphmau’s pregnancy the same way he did in canon only this time he didn’t leave out of anger or betrayal. it was because the calling was becoming too much to handle. he loves aphmau so much but as long as the shadow lord lived he would only be able to see her with an ancient hatred in his bones. he feared he’d hurt her or their child so he left for their safety.

aphmau never knew that he knew about their child, but when she went to the nether to find him, he asked her name.

his shadow knight armor isn’t… armor…. it’s more like a shell, designed to look as intimidating as possible and be as sharp as possible. it materializes whenever his shadow knight form pops out or whenever his body thinks he’s in need of protection.

once when aphmau was trying to pull him out of his shadow form she cut her hand on it. she has a scar from it and he can’t look at it without feeling guilty.

every so often his vision goes. usually when he’s extremely angry or stressed his vision will just. go. it normally only lasts a few seconds or minutes but each time it happens he can’t help but think “this is it. this is when my vision is taken from me once and for all.”

alrighty! that’s all i have for now! i’m sorry i know that was a lot but i just love this guy so much you don’t understand 😭 i hope you enjoyed and feel free to add any more larry headcanons you have

next up is very talented seamstress

[thelonelyshore-if]

I honestly thought this was going to take me a few more days to complete, but it feels pretty complete now and I've gotta send it in before I have time to overthink it. This ended up moreso about the aftermath of Beck and Perri finding out about the fog and that MC was keeping it secret. There’s a lot of guessing about their reactions, so I may have gotten some things wrong. I had fun with it though, so I hope you enjoy it too.

So we know Perri is an anxious bean with self esteem issues. Even in the midst of feeling betrayed by MC, they may blame themself for MC’s secret-keeping. They weren’t trustworthy enough, supportive enough, good enough. Self-criticism mixing in with their pain (and likely anger!), making it even more difficult to face MC. But! They’re willing to talk things out when relationships hit a rough patch. Not comfortable about it, not happy about it, but willing. I feel like they could be the first to forgive MC. At the very least, they will be much easier to talk to about the whole dang thing. Eventually. But god, the work won’t be easy. To truly repair things, they’re going to have to be honest about the ways MC hurt them. Can they bring themself to expose their vulnerable emotions? The hurt? The anger? The betrayal? And oh, I am so certain Perri has to feel at least some anger about this situation. They may not act on it, but I’m sure they feel it. There's going to be a lot to work through before moving toward a solution.

But what about Beck? Beck, who avoids problems in a relationship rather than trying to fix them? Beck, who is so allergic to commitment that they balk at the first sign of it?

Ough, it will be so rough. Beck doesn’t want to talk about it, doesn’t want to acknowledge it, and doesn’t want to see MC, at least for a while. Because if I’m convinced Perri must be at least a little mad, then Beck must be pissed off. With everything about the situation being so bad, they just want to feel good. Recklessness dialed up to 11. But would they try to avoid MC forever? Or would they be afraid of losing that relationship? Would they rather pretend? Sometimes it’s easier to pretend. Pretend they can trust MC, that this situation has not fundamentally altered something about their relationship. That everything is ok. Pretending until pretending doesn’t work anymore. Until it all breaks.

In the end, the pieces can be put back together, but it will take effort and it will never be the same again. I’m willing to put in the work. Are you? Or is it easier to walk away and never look back?

Getting Beck to talk about it, to try to fix it, is going to be like pulling teeth. They don’t want to talk, they don’t want to listen, they just want things to go back to how they were before. But that’s not how life works. Beck’s cooperation and forgiveness is going to be so much harder to achieve (but will ultimately be worth it).

And I definitely feel like this will have to be addressed separately before it’s addressed as a team. I feel like if MC and Perri come to Beck trying to get them to talk about everything, they’re going to feel cornered and bolt and become even less likely to work things out. Oh, the struggle.

(And then there’s me, crying in the corner for a week because I obviously Ruined Everything Forever and they clearly Hate My Guts before I finally get over all the reactive emotions and start working towards actually fixing things and communicating. If Beck is avoidant, and Perri is avoidant, and I have a tendency to be avoidant…well, someone’s gotta pony up and drive this relationship. I’m such an optimist though, so I would truly believe things can work out unless proven otherwise.)

It will be hard, it will be messy, but it will also be beautiful. Beck and Perri learning that fixing a problem in a relationship you cherish can be painful and scary and so so so worth it <3 We’ll come out the other side changed, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Something something love is transformative…

Ooh, I can’t wait to navigate all of the emotional complexities of this relationship. Seeing these characters at their lowest, at their rawest, and loving them anyway (and them feeling the same way toward MC in return) askljslhgsajk. Working hard together to fix the relationship, maybe even make it better and stronger than it was before. Ehehehe <3

(I wanted to incorporate Beck’s insecurity about their relationship with MC into this, but I couldn’t figure out where to fit it so I gave up on that angle. For now. Everytime I think about Beck’s insecurity it does unspeakable things to my brain, especially in tandem with Willow’s dislike of them, and especially especially in terms of Beck/Perri polyroute. Also, dating both Willow’s third least favorite and second favorite ROs at once?? Magnificent. So looking forward to Willow’s reaction to my life choices. And Perri? I already love them unconditionally. Always have. They deserve it <3)

Thank you so much for this!! I've been chewing on it for a few days because it's soooo good and sometimes I want to hoard asks for a bit before I release them into the world.

Gonna stick my thoughts under the cut <3

I love love love reading your thoughts. I think your characterization of them both is so spot-on; you really have a handle on who they are and how they'll react.

These two and Yasmin...man the reveal is going to be good. Especially because, depending on the circumstances, there might not be time to process and fix things. Not right away. The story is going to hit a point where the Plot starts running and it doesn't stop.

I love tension between characters that doesn't get the chance to be resolved. Not right away. Gotta focus on the now, on the horrors, no time to fix this festering wound in your relationship that has blossomed between you...

God. I'm so excited.

Plus there's another layer of complexity to all of this that is going to...complicate things. I can't talk about it but I think about every day.

The Willow stuff...god. Like you're saying: navigating a new relationship/relationships with your pesky little sibling there is going to be so. Man. I'm so excited to write it. I cannot wait for y'all to meet Willow in the flesh this is all going to be so much fun.

I'm all hyped up to write the final scene of this chapter now. Beck and Perri and MC interacting is such a delight to write and that scene is going to be delicious.

[arwenadreamer]

It's your birthday, Sammy!

“How do we know when it’s our birthdays?” Dean asks out of the blue.

The brothers are sitting on the porch of their cabin, enjoying their morning cup of coffee while looking out over the mountain ridge. 

“Why, you wanna have a party complete with jumping castle and pony rides and pinata?” Sam teases.

“Ha, ha. No, Sam, my party is gonna be clown themed. Clown napkins, clown plates, clown costumes for all the guests.”

Sam does his best to look disapprovingly at his brother, but secretly enjoys their carefree banter so much. God, how he’s missed that. 

“Since there’s no time up here, we don’t have any way to tell, Dean. But I don’t think it’s important anymore, either. I mean, it’s a little bit redundant to celebrate birthdays after youˋre dead, don’t you think?”

“Well, I certainly don’t want to celebrate our death days”, Dean counters. Then, after a little pause, tags on quietly: “You finally coming here, though, is cause to celebrate.”

Sam can’t help but smile at that. Yes, it is. Being finally reunited with Dean is nothing less than cause to rejoice. 

“I still think we should celebrate our birthdays, though!” Dean insists. 

“Why? We’ve never really done that back in life either.”

“Exactly! Which is why we should do it now. Because we can. And we have to make up for so many missed or shitty birthdays.”

Sam get’s what Dean is saying, and he doesn’t really have an objection to that either. After all, they’ve got all eternity together now. If they want to celebrate, they should celebrate.

“So, Sammy, since there is no official calendar, I hereby declare today to be the second of May. Happy birthday, baby brother! How would you like to spend your day?”

Sam smiles. “Doesn’t February come before May?”

“Uh, uh, not a chance, Sammy! Today is gonna be your birthday! Always liked that day better anyway. The day you were born? There ain’t no bigger reason for me to celebrate. Never got a bigger present.” After a beat of silence, Dean adds: “Literally. Who would have thought that tiny little baby brother would turn into a sasquatch?”

Sam feels such a rush of affection, it’s almost overwhelming. And to think that he is going to get this for all of eternity!

“So, what you wanna do, Gigantor? Throw a party? Invite friends?”

“How about we go for a drive, Dean? Just you and me and baby. I’ll even let you sing happy birthday in the car.” At the grin that is spreading on Dean’s face, Sam hastily adds: “But only once!”

“Okay”, Dean agrees with a beam. “We’re in heaven, I think I can make the song last a while.”

Sam could smack himself. Why did he have to mention a birthday song in the first place? But if he’s being quite honest with himself, he’s looking forward to it, he thinks, as he follows his brother to the car. He had to live too many years without his brothers off key singing.

They both slide into their car seats and close baby’s doors at the same time, completely in sync as they had been most of their lives.

“Anything specific you wanna see, Sammy?” Dean asks, as he starts the engine.

“No, just drive. This is gonna be perfect”, he says.

And as they drive along the dusty road, Dean making every note of ‘Happy Birthday’ last a small eternity, he thinks it really is. The most perfect birthday he’s ever had.

[brideofdiscord-rewritten]

Bride of Discord rewritten chapter 14: the visit.

Broken beams of marmalade skies swayed through the windows of fluttershy's room, cropped gently by the tangerine trees outside the cottage flailing their leaves as if to tenderly rouse her awake.

When Fluttershy did awake, she could not help but think she had forgotten something. She could not put her hoof on it, but something about today felt different, like an anti-deja vu.

At that moment, Discord appeared at her bedside with a tray of food.

"Happy Birthday, dearest!"

She slapped herself in the forehead. "Of course."

He set the tray onto her lap. "Breakfast in bed! Hope you're in the mood for pancakes."

"Oh, you didn't have to do anything for me, Discord," she said with a smile. "You've been so sweet to me, I'd like to treat you sometime!"

"Come now, your birth was a great enough treat! Now eat up! I have lots more planned for your special day!"

He vanished and returned once she had finished eating, which of course she had quickly enough that she had gotten the hiccups. The next thing she knew she was dressed in a robe and sitting in a sauna. Discord, wearing a pink fluffy robe, stretched out beside her.

"Ah, nothing like a good steam bath to help you forget your troubles."

"When did we get a sauna?" Fluttershy chuckled.

He raised his paw. "Relax, my dear! Unwind yourself!"

Now that she thought about it, she had not been in a sauna since her last get-together with Rarity. Her chance to relax was long overdue. So Fluttershy closed her eyes and leaned her back against the wall, letting the steam sink into her skin. How lovely it graced her once it got past her coat... In a quarter of an hour, she opened her eyes to see Discord staring down at her with a wide grin on his face.

"What?" she said.

Discord straightened up. "Nothing! I just…"

"Maybe we've been in here for too long. You're sweating."

"You're supposed to-"

"Yes! On to the next part of the treatment!"

A snap of his fingers transformed the sauna into a bath of a gooey green substance. Fluttershy recognized it as the crystal mud from the Crystal Empire. She had not had the chance to try it while she was there, and sitting in it now confirmed that it was as refreshing as Cadence had said. She laughed as she remembered that day when they were welcoming the inspector for the Equestria Games, only to find out that they had gotten the wrong pony. She and her friends had always wound up in the craziest of situations.

Discord was confused as her sudden laughter turned into a frown.

"What's wrong, my dear? Is the mud too warm?"

"No," Fluttershy sighed. It's nothing, really."

He snapped his fingers. "I know what you need! A massage!"

The mud bath disappeared, and Fluttershy found herself lying on a massage table.

"Really Discord, none of this is necessary, I just want…"

She trailed off as she felt the draconequus' hands gently rub her shoulders. In a second, her eyelids slid shut as she relaxed on the table.

"If it troubles you then you should spit it out! I'd say it's something rather than nothing when it's your birthday."

Fluttershy was about to answer, but was lulled by his tender touch that all that came out was a sigh. After massaging her for half an hour, Discord teleported them both to the gazebo.

"Now for your gift."

Fluttershy raised an eyebrow. "The spa treatment wasn't it?"

"No, that was a bonus. I have something more special in mind."

He seated her on a bench and lifted the ring around her neck.

"I'll bet this thing has given you some distress."

"A little," she muttered.

She had nearly forgotten she was still wearing that.

"Well, I just want you to know that…I don't want you to feel like you're being forced into this, and…for what it's worth…I…I can't imagine being with any other pony, so…"

He curled around her and pointed a gleaming finger to the ring, engraving words into it. Once the writing had stopped glowing, Fluttershy squinted to read it.

"To my one and only Fluttershy." She blinked. "I…I don't know what to say."

"Id like you know if you..."

"What?"

He couldn't do it. Not with her eyes glinting with joy.

He teleported in front of her with a birthday cake in his hands. It was a proper red velvet, sweet and buttery like a southern treat, chocolate enhancing every note, without overpowering them. A hint of Hazelnut coffee lined every bite. Paired with a tangy cream cheese it felt like heaven.

"Make a wish!" he exclaimed, holding it out to Fluttershy. "And as it is your birthday, it will be my duty to make it come true!"

That caught her attention. "You promise?"

"Cross my heart," he said, making the gesture.

Fluttershy closed her eyes and blew out the candles.

"So what will it be, my sweet?"

She puffed her chest.

"I wish to visit my friends."

As she had predicted, Discord's face fell. "Sweetheart, I thought we talked about this…"

She crossed her hooves. "No, we haven't. And I think it's time we did."

He laughed nervously. "Isn't there something else you'd like?"

Fluttershy shook her head. "I want to visit my friends, nothing more, nothing less."

He set the cake down and laid his hands on her shoulders. "Darling…" She turned her head from him. "I can't overturn the law-"

She hovered over him. "You promised you would grant whatever wish I made!"

"and I will! But-"

"Then why?!" She spun around, revealing her water filled eyes. "Why won't you let me see my friends?"

He furrowed his brows. Discord felt a pang throughout his thought to his chest.

Her commanding then turned into begging. "Please? Just for the day? I promise I'll come right back, and if I don't, you can bring me back with your magic. In fact, you wouldn't have to. You can trust me."

"I do trust you, Fluttershy! More than anypony, but I have to guarantee that your visit stays within the confines of the contract!"

"please, can't we rewrite it?"

He rubbed the back of his neck. "That, and…"

"How about this? Instead of letting me go to them, you'll bring here!"

"I don't know if that counts as foalnapping! Besides, they're not allowed within our territory-"

"Not even for one day? It is my birthday, after all."

"I want to let you see them! I want to give you this one thing! But it's not that simple... "

She lay her hoof on his shoulder.

"or maybe it is. All I know is that I'm not the draconequus I was when I made that deal. And I know that I don't want..."

Fluttershy tilted her head to an angle. "You can tell me."

"some part of me doesn't want them to take you away. Because I know if they convince you to go back and you did it, it wouldn't be because they brainwashed you or whatever. It'd be because you had a reason, and you wanted to. I'm not scared that you'll go back to your life and be happy...I'm terrified of losing my first friend."

His voice cracked gently before he turned his head off the the side and cleared his throat.

"I'm terribly sorry fluttershy, I didn't want to spin your feelings back on ole' me!"

"I promise, we can rework the treaty, and you can come visit me, but we have to have them here. Besides, you never allow my friends to visit, who are my bridesmaids going to be?"

Discord's ears perked up. "Brides…?"

"And I promised Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo they would be my flower girls, and Spike, the ring bearer, and…well, you need some pony to perform the service and Twilight IS the duchess of celestia now…"

"Wait, back up!" he interrupted, facing her. "Are you saying…?"

She inhaled, only allowing a short breath in, and a longer one out. It was circle breathing then,it was muay Thai technique.

"I'd like to marry you, when and only when we rework the deal. I feel like... like we are close enough that we can marry."

Discord was speechless, not believing what he was hearing. This had to be a dream, or at least a trick, but he was awake and Fluttershy was not one to kid. Gosh deal or no deal he'd have to be a complete starchy spud not take up her offer. Marrying his... best friend, never being alone again, giving her anything she could ever want....

She squeaked as he suddenly took her in his arms. "Oh, thank you! You've made me the happiest creature in the world, my dear! Now, do you think I should wear a tux or what? I'm partial to a off the shoulder ball gown, something with lots of ruffles and peacock feathers-"

Fluttershy tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong. "Discord! Sweet! Youre-"

"of course if you do like traditional I can wear a tux, but not any boring- oh! What about a non-west equestria wedding!"

She squealed as he spun her, around like a fancy carousel with strobe lights. He apologized before putting her down, as she giggled and twirled her mane in dizzy. He danced gently.

Pinkie lay dormant on a large circle bed in the boutique. Surrounded by the colors not unlike that of a mallard, mottled with mustard yellows. All the ceiling drapes now caught on the columns, surrounding her like Spanish moss, however below such a flourishing plant still was an extinction. One of natural joy.

"Come on, Pinkie, this is getting ridiculous!" Rainbow exclaimed. "You've been crying for hours! You're gonna flood the place!"

"It's Fluttershy's birthday!" Pinkie cried. "I had a big party planned for her! It was going to be out in her garden! I was going to surprise her!" She pulled out a wrapped gift from under her bed. "I was going to give this to her! Now I'll never know if she'll like it!"

Applejack laid a hoof on her shoulder. "We miss her too, Pinkie, but we just have to accept…"

"How can we accept that our best friend is gone for good? We're never gonna see her again! Worst of all, she's never gonna see her birthday present!"

Suddenly, Spike burped up a letter. When he opened it, he gasped.

"It's Discord again!"

"What?!" every pony shrieked, huddling around him.

"seriously dude, get a fax machine..."

"What does it say, Spike?" Twilight inquired.

The dragon cleared his throat. "You are cordially invited to Fluttershy's birthday party at Discord's castle. Starting now."

The next thing they knew, all nine of them were standing in front of a dark castle.

"What in tarnation!?" Applejack proclaimed.

"Where are we?" Twilight wondered.

Rarity cringed as she looked up at the cottage. "Clearly an area in need of some interior designers."

"This has gotta be Discord's place!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Oh, well that makes sense."

"It wasn't supposed to!"

Everyone turned around in shock to see the draconequus standing over them. Rainbow Dash looked up in abject horror and slowly fluttered down to the cobblestone path, bolting to rarity's side.

Discord rolled his eyes. "Well, I was going to let you see her, but if that's the way you're going to behave…"

"Slow yer roll there hoss, what's goin on?"

"Didn't you get the invitation?"

He tugged the parchment out of Spike's claw using his magic. Pinkie leaned forward to read it again.

"You mean…?" Her eyes slid down the wall of her skull dropping like a sack of loose muscle. They dilated with anticipation. "BIRTHDAY PARTY!"

As she screamed, she launched into the air and fireworks exploded behind her, creating a visceral display of every possible twitching emotion contained in the word "exitement." Discord scratched his head. How does she do that? Pinkie then rushed to the front door, bursting it open.

"Wha- my door! That's teakwood"

"Discord?" Fluttershy called as she entered the main hall. "Are they…?"

"FLUTTERSHY!"

Pinkie tackled her into a hug, giving Fluttershy no chance to escape. The others galloped to her every angle and squeezed her like they would never feel again.

"Fluttershy!" Rarity exclaimed. "You're alright!"

"Girls! Spike!" Fluttershy said, tears coming into her eyes. "I missed you so much! I…" She choked as Pinkie squeezed tighter. "Can't…breathe…"

"Oops!" the pink pony blushed, not very noticeably, backing away with the others. "Sorry, I just can't believe it's you! I thought I'd never see you again and that you'd never get to see what I got you for your birthday…" She gasped dramatically. "Your birthday! Quick, close your eyes!"

"Why do I have to…?"

She was cut off as Pinkie tied a blindfold around her head. "One second!"

Fluttershy heard a few familiar blasts before the cloth was removed. The room was now walled with balloons, streamers and other party decorations.

"How did you…?" she started to ask, but she already knew the answer.

"I never go anywhere without my party cannon!" Pinkie chimed, bringing the object into view.

"oh hey, I love that band!" Discord panted out as he caught up to the six of them and spike.

She strapped a birthday hat onto Fluttershy's head, laughing as the strap poofed her expanse of hair every which way. Pinkie started up the gramophone.

"Let's party! This is my mixtape, I made it when I had that big hide-and-seek birthday bash a few years back!"

The music rang throughout the rooms, funky 8-bit tunes filling the ears with wonder and joy.

But instead of dancing, the ponies fed Fluttershy a million questions.

"Have you been kept safe?" Rarity asked.

"How are the animals?" inquired Applejack.

"How do you not get dizzy in here?" Rainbow questioned, glancing around the distorted room.

"Are you married yet?" Spike asked, looking at the engagement ring. "He seems so different!"

"Does he know pi?!" Pinkie inquired eagerly.

"Whoa, girls!" Twilight exclaimed, silencing them. "Give her some space!"

Fluttershy summed it up. "Yes, he's kept me safe in the forest, and we're not married yet. Actually, Discord's treated me quite well. He's really…sweet."

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. "You've got to be kidding me."

"We brought you here, didn't we?"

Twilight giggled, trying to lighten the mood. "What does it matter? It's Fluttershy's birthday. We should be celebrating!"

The Duchess began her awkward dancing, which everyone stared at for a while. She was so careless and free, she almost resembled that mare from Seingeld. Then they shrugged and danced themselves. In between songs, Fluttershy received updates on every pony's lives.

Rainbow Dash couldn't see her feelings for applejack being requited, so she didn't want to infringe on their friendship and dating status with rarity. Fluttershy snickered as she explained this. How aloof this filly could be! She'll be over the moon if applejack says something!

"sometimes I just see her, and we're cuddling with rarity, and I see the way she looks at her and-GOSH! She makes my heart race like when I'm flying! She's so headstrong and caring, and I just wanna take her out to treat her, y'know? Real classy just for her! wanna surprise her with something hoity toity. Like, hey! I got us a bucket of chicken! Wanna date?"

Fluttershy nearly cackled, "That's not fancy at all!

The blue pegasus rubbed the back of her neck. "It's a self proof thing. I wanna prove I'm the type mare she'd like! Like rarity!"

"I'm sure she likes how different you three are, and you don't have to get fancy for her!" Fluttershy giggled!

"Well," Rarity interjected, "I think this relationship is much sweeter and more genuine than that with blueblood! I just anticipate seeing my mares every day!"

"have you been taking those vitamins rarity?"

"Oh yes! They've worked wonders for my mane! And don't worry, applejack and rainbow dash already know. They were elated! I think I'm really gonna spend my life with them!"

She buried her head in fluttershy's embrace, squealing and tapping her hooves, blushing madly.

Seeing rarity pratter on about her love made spike's heart crumble, and slowly wash together again seeing her smile so hard and celebrate so sporadically that her mane frizzed.

The earth pony glanced at the dragon on the other side of the room, freaking it sensitive style as he watched in bitter-sweet pining. She lay a hoof on his little head, so tender and mild was the baby boy. Her eyes never exceeded the far off gaze.

"it wasn't meant to be spike. But something is. And I can't wait until you find it, Angel boy."

He smiled up at her so burning and gratifyingly, earnest as if to say "her love is my love. Thank you for showing me this."

"Who wants to play Pin the Tail on the Pony?" Pinkie called, throwing a blindfold around Fluttershy's eyes again. "Birthday girl goes first!"

As the afternoon went on, Fluttershy enjoyed her friends' company as they played more games and caught up with one another. One after the other, operation, clue, monopoly, Texas hold'em! It was after the third round of candyland that fluttershy's attention averted to the draconequus cutting it up in the corner.

She excused herself from her friends and flew up to him.

"Thank you, Discord," she said with a smile, "for bringing my friends here."

His expression changed at the sight of her. "You're welcome."

"You don't have to sit here all day. Why don't you join us?"

"I think your friends," he pointed at the ponies, baring his teeth in a way that wasn't anger, but unsureness. Q"would not appreciate that."

She was about to say something when he slid his arm around her. "Have you told them yet?"

Fluttershy blinked. "Told them what?"

He chuckled, playfully twirling the ring on her neck. "Have you really forgotten already?"

She looked down at the ring and blushed. "Oh."

She had been so excited about seeing her friends, she had forgotten the reason they were here in the first place.

"N-no, I…

"We should do it together! We wanted them here?"

"I…it's just…"

They were interrupted by Pinkie, who had bravely approached the draconequus. "Hey, Discord! You wanna play Twister with us?"

He stared at the pink pony, shocked at the invitation and then stood up. "Alright, but I warn you, I'm the world champ!"

Pinkie snorted. "As if!"

"Is that a challenge?"

"Only if you're up for it!"

"Oh, it's on!"

Before following the pony, he turned back to his fiancé. "We have to, to rewrite the deal!"

The ponies erupted in jeers and competitive whoops! Overlapping voices gave way to reveal rainbow's epic shouting.

"IM TAKING ALL BETS, 9-2 ON PINKIE, THE MARE WITH THE FLAIR, THE GREAT PINK HOPE!!"

Only Pinkie, Dash, and twilight were bold enough to go against Discord in Twister. Thanks to his long snake-like body he was able to defeat them with ease. While Pinkie called for best two out of three, Fluttershy pulled Applejack aside. Since she was the one she had confided in before, she felt more confident telling her first.

"I'm glad to see you're gettin' along fine, Shug," the southern pony sighed. "I don't know what you've been doin' the past month, but Discord seems a might different. I'm surprised he let us come here."

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about, Applejack," Fluttershy whispered. "You see, the reason we brought you here is…um…"

"Because it's your birthday?"

"No…well, sort of, really wanted to see you and this was a really special occasion.."

Applejack laid a hoof on her shoulder. "Take it easy, lovebug, Whatever you have to say, say it."

She took a deep breath. "I…I want to rewrite the treaty."

"Oh, um…great?"

"I need you girls at the wedding in the next 12 moons!"

Silence fell over the room and Fluttershy realized that she had shouted that last part. Pinkie fell from her position and Discord pumped his fist.

"Yes! Victory!" He then noticed the glares he was receiving. "Oh, come on, don't be sore losers!"

"You're marrying him in 12 moons?!" Rarity uttered.

"Oh, so you've told them!" He teleported to his fiancé's side and threw his arm around her. "Yes, our big day is in almost two weeks and you're all invited! The four of you can be bridesmaids, the foals can be the flower girls, the dragon can be the ring bear or whatever it is and Princess cranium can perform the service!"

Twilight's jaw dropped in horror. "You want me to…to…marry you two?!"

"You can't do that,I'm marrying her!" He cackled!

"Um, Discord?" Fluttershy said softly. "Could you let me talk to them?

"Oh, sure, go ahead! Who's stopping you?"

"Alone?"

"ooh, gotcha!"

Once he had vanished, Fluttershy floated down to her friends.

"That was awfully rude of you."

"Rude?!" every pony exclaimed.

"You're marrying that monster so soon!!" Rarity cried. "How do you expect us to react?"

"But you know I'm engaged to him," Fluttershy pointed out.

"We didn't…" Rainbow stammered. "We didn't expect it to happen now! And…now you want us to be a part of it?!"

"I thought you'd want to come to my wedding."

"Not when it means watching you get married to a monster!"

Fluttershy stomped her hoof defensively, "monster us subjective! And from what I've been shown I know that if he's a monster, than so are we!"

"He took you away from us!"

"It was my decision to come and stay, and I had my bargains respected!"

"how can you be so accepting of this?!"

"Because he's my friend! And he's a good pony! And if I had the choice to spend the rest of my life with anyone else I wouldn't take it, not for a million billion bits!!!"

She trailed off and realized that she had already said too much. Applejack raised an eyebrow at her flushed cheeks, more flushed than usual. She knew that look.

"Are you…in love with him?"

Rarity huffed. "Don't be ridiculous, Applejack, she just said they were best friends!"

"Yeah," Rainbow laughed. "But I call you my best friend by habit sometimes!"

Rarity gasped infiginified

"He's fun and all," Pinkie chimed, "but you can't really-

"Fluttershy, you can't be serious! He tried to take over Equestria! Three times!"

"He practically keeps you prisoner!"

"He threatened the princesses!"

"He beat me at Twister!" Pinkie shouted.

"GET OFF HER FLANK!!!"

Silence permeated throughout the walls. A hollow and yet shallow steady beat of breath rattled through the baby dragon standing defiantly above the ponies. His chest rose and his head pelted back, as arms rested at his sides, hoisting himself up upon a bench. Fluttershy stuttered,

"So you don't…?"

"I know that in a lotta places, dragons like me would be irredeemable monsters. Heck, some places don't allow us in! And while yeah uh.. few of us are, the one big thing we can use to turn back their path or like, prevent it maybe, is FRIENDSHIP."

Twilight felt the corners of her mouth perk up like they were tied with string, tears pricking her eyes. Her baby boy, her little man, her other half...

He was gonna tell her teachings better than she could one day, and she couldn't be prouder.

"I believe her. Princess Luna can be changed, and love beats up evil. If we don't practice what we preach, then what's the point of being at our friend's birthday?!"

...

As his valiant words echoed throughout the room, Fluttershy's heart sank. Her friends lost their anger as tears streamed down her face. Twilight held out her hoof.

"Fluttershy, we… I wanna hear what you have to say. I want to hear you out."

Rarity sat back and listened,giving her warmest smile, squeezing spike in adoration. Rainbow flew to her side and quirked her head smirking warmly,and inquisitivly. Applejack rested her head in their laps. Pinkie leapt from her previous position and hugged fluttershy.

"For the record, I think it's a pretty metal story tell your kids. Stretch out that ten minute story for eight years and you can get a sitcom out it." Rainbow commented.

Fluttershy buried her head in her hooves. Betwixt her grasp was a smile that flexed no muscles. Her hair was frizzy and unkempt, her limbs shook like a elm in a drought. Her nerves shot as if through a rivet gun. The queasiness never subsided, her bones were glass and her skin was paper.

She couldn't feel any of it as she embraced her friends.

"Of course ya don't understand!" Applejack snapped. "You of all ponies wouldn't understand! You talk about romance all the time, but you wouldn't know love if it was starin' you right in the face!" She turned to the others. "That goes for all of ya!"

"you never opened your present..."

"Oh! Of course!"

As she bore into the delicately wrapped gift, revealing to herself a jade and rose quartz comb, etched with love it read, "born to love, live to create." Fluttershy was downright crying at this point, no conclusion she could come up with was coherent enough to exact her spirit.

Fluttershy heard a grunt and looked up to see the draconequus standing over her. Despite the circumstances, she was happy to see him, for now he was here to comfort her. Her joy turned into suspense as she noted the nervous smile cracking across his face. His hands were clenched to the sides, and his eyes were glaring into the scene with remorse.

Secrets untold of light and dark (Bonus intro)

(Ending of main plot)

“Fight me?”

A few days has passed and SFS was eager to try out her new powers. Of those at the tree, Jess seemed like the best option for fight. After all, she only fought when in danger so why not a friendly spar? SFS assumed this would go well for both of them since surely Jess would decline the offer. The key protector was rather docile and didn’t seem like she’d fight without reason on her own. So SFS explored around the tree until she spotted Jess and eagerly approached her with the question.

“I used the keys to fight Chaotic. Do you think they’d work to go against you too?” SFS asked, and Jess seemed to think rather long about the question in her usual pony form. Maybe she assumed SFS was just wondering about the limit the keys had on who could use them or if multiple beings at once could use them. It was a peculiar question, but Jess didn’t mind answering it.

“Theoretically, yes. But such a situation is highly unlikely to occur unless it is a controlled occurrence.” Jess stated simply in reply, with a shrug of her wings. “The keys magic works to support those who need it, but are far more stronger when under my command.” She noted, her wings hands moving as she spoke. “But I do wonder, what brings you to asking me that?” Her head tilted a little.

“Oh! Well you see…” SFS explained how much power she really had and how useful the keys had been in revealing her hidden potential. “So! I wondered. What would happen if we fought and both had the power of the keys? I mean, sure, your the trees protector and the keys creator so naturally….” She trailed off a little as Jess interrupted her with a chuckle.

“Well. If that is what you want. Sure. I’ll fight you with the power of the keys.” Jess remarked with a knowing smile. “But you haven’t seen what my key power form looks like. So I shall show you.” She added, SFS looking just a little happy but also a bit worried. Jess had accepted the challenge. She thought Jess would shoo her away for such a silly idea.

The trio keys appeared almost instantly around Jess, the three crystals soon becoming orbs of light that spun rapidly around her until an aura of three colors engulfed her fully and SFS had to make some effort to keep herself from getting blown back by the intensely spinning wind that had suddenly manifested. When she finally opened her eyes, she noticed already she had been transformed into her key power form. But then she looked where Jess had stood and felt her heart skip a beat.

Jess had changed rather drastically. A changeling-like pony with two front orange feet and large wings that resembled a dragons yet still insect-like. Her back feet were cloven hooves that had tufts of red trailing behind them and her long tail lined in spikes that ended in a wickedly curved stinger. Her hair, while longer, flowed in its own wind with purple highlights. Her eyes almost glowed purple as she opened them, and adjusted her glasses a bit. On her forehead was a purple changeling horn. Jess was dark grey with a purple shell and orange front legs. She saw SFS looking and stuck her forked tongue out. Then smiled revealing rows of white dagger like teeth behind her blue fangs.

“Ready?” Jess asked.

SFS nodded with a gulp, but was already realizing the horrible mistake she just made. Too late to change her mind now as Jess opened her wings and summoned the keys to her side and prepared for their fight. SFS summoned her crystal and took a fighting stance as well.

The keys creation against the flawed Shadow clone.

[bodrewritten]

Bride of Discord rewritten chapter 14: the visit.

Broken beams of marmalade skies swayed through the windows of fluttershy's room, cropped gently by the tangerine trees outside the cottage flailing their leaves as if to tenderly rouse her awake.

When Fluttershy did awake, she could not help but think she had forgotten something. She could not put her hoof on it, but something about today felt different, like an anti-deja vu.

At that moment, Discord appeared at her bedside with a tray of food.

"Happy Birthday, dearest!"

She slapped herself in the forehead. "Of course."

He set the tray onto her lap. "Breakfast in bed! Hope you're in the mood for pancakes."

"Oh, you didn't have to do anything for me, Discord," she said with a smile. "You've been so sweet to me, I'd like to treat you sometime!"

"Come now, your birth was a great enough treat! Now eat up! I have lots more planned for your special day!"

He vanished and returned once she had finished eating, which of course she had quickly enough that she had gotten the hiccups. The next thing she knew she was dressed in a robe and sitting in a sauna. Discord, wearing a pink fluffy robe, stretched out beside her.

"Ah, nothing like a good steam bath to help you forget your troubles."

"When did we get a sauna?" Fluttershy chuckled.

He raised his paw. "Relax, my dear! Unwind yourself!"

Now that she thought about it, she had not been in a sauna since her last get-together with Rarity. Her chance to relax was long overdue. So Fluttershy closed her eyes and leaned her back against the wall, letting the steam sink into her skin. How lovely it graced her once it got past her coat... In a quarter of an hour, she opened her eyes to see Discord staring down at her with a wide grin on his face.

"What?" she said.

Discord straightened up. "Nothing! I just…"

"Maybe we've been in here for too long. You're sweating."

"You're supposed to-"

"Yes! On to the next part of the treatment!"

A snap of his fingers transformed the sauna into a bath of a gooey green substance. Fluttershy recognized it as the crystal mud from the Crystal Empire. She had not had the chance to try it while she was there, and sitting in it now confirmed that it was as refreshing as Cadence had said. She laughed as she remembered that day when they were welcoming the inspector for the Equestria Games, only to find out that they had gotten the wrong pony. She and her friends had always wound up in the craziest of situations.

Discord was confused as her sudden laughter turned into a frown.

"What's wrong, my dear? Is the mud too warm?"

"No," Fluttershy sighed. It's nothing, really."

He snapped his fingers. "I know what you need! A massage!"

The mud bath disappeared, and Fluttershy found herself lying on a massage table.

"Really Discord, none of this is necessary, I just want…"

She trailed off as she felt the draconequus' hands gently rub her shoulders. In a second, her eyelids slid shut as she relaxed on the table.

"If it troubles you then you should spit it out! I'd say it's something rather than nothing when it's your birthday."

Fluttershy was about to answer, but was lulled by his tender touch that all that came out was a sigh. After massaging her for half an hour, Discord teleported them both to the gazebo.

"Now for your gift."

Fluttershy raised an eyebrow. "The spa treatment wasn't it?"

"No, that was a bonus. I have something more special in mind."

He seated her on a bench and lifted the ring around her neck.

"I'll bet this thing has given you some distress."

"A little," she muttered.

She had nearly forgotten she was still wearing that.

"Well, I just want you to know that…I don't want you to feel like you're being forced into this, and…for what it's worth…I…I can't imagine being with any other pony, so…"

He curled around her and pointed a gleaming finger to the ring, engraving words into it. Once the writing had stopped glowing, Fluttershy squinted to read it.

"To my one and only Fluttershy." She blinked. "I…I don't know what to say."

"Id like you know if you..."

"What?"

He couldn't do it. Not with her eyes glinting with joy.

He teleported in front of her with a birthday cake in his hands. It was a proper red velvet, sweet and buttery like a southern treat, chocolate enhancing every note, without overpowering them. A hint of Hazelnut coffee lined every bite. Paired with a tangy cream cheese it felt like heaven.

"Make a wish!" he exclaimed, holding it out to Fluttershy. "And as it is your birthday, it will be my duty to make it come true!"

That caught her attention. "You promise?"

"Cross my heart," he said, making the gesture.

Fluttershy closed her eyes and blew out the candles.

"So what will it be, my sweet?"

She puffed her chest.

"I wish to visit my friends."

As she had predicted, Discord's face fell. "Sweetheart, I thought we talked about this…"

She crossed her hooves. "No, we haven't. And I think it's time we did."

He laughed nervously. "Isn't there something else you'd like?"

Fluttershy shook her head. "I want to visit my friends, nothing more, nothing less."

He set the cake down and laid his hands on her shoulders. "Darling…" She turned her head from him. "I can't overturn the law-"

She hovered over him. "You promised you would grant whatever wish I made!"

"and I will! But-"

"Then why?!" She spun around, revealing her water filled eyes. "Why won't you let me see my friends?"

He furrowed his brows. Discord felt a pang throughout his thought to his chest.

Her commanding then turned into begging. "Please? Just for the day? I promise I'll come right back, and if I don't, you can bring me back with your magic. In fact, you wouldn't have to. You can trust me."

"I do trust you, Fluttershy! More than anypony, but I have to guarantee that your visit stays within the confines of the contract!"

"please, can't we rewrite it?"

He rubbed the back of his neck. "That, and…"

"How about this? Instead of letting me go to them, you'll bring here!"

"I don't know if that counts as foalnapping! Besides, they're not allowed within our territory-"

"Not even for one day? It is my birthday, after all."

"I want to let you see them! I want to give you this one thing! But it's not that simple... "

She lay her hoof on his shoulder.

"or maybe it is. All I know is that I'm not the draconequus I was when I made that deal. And I know that I don't want..."

Fluttershy tilted her head to an angle. "You can tell me."

"some part of me doesn't want them to take you away. Because I know if they convince you to go back and you did it, it wouldn't be because they brainwashed you or whatever. It'd be because you had a reason, and you wanted to. I'm not scared that you'll go back to your life and be happy...I'm terrified of losing my first friend."

His voice cracked gently before he turned his head off the the side and cleared his throat.

"I'm terribly sorry fluttershy, I didn't want to spin your feelings back on ole' me!"

"I promise, we can rework the treaty, and you can come visit me, but we have to have them here. Besides, you never allow my friends to visit, who are my bridesmaids going to be?"

Discord's ears perked up. "Brides…?"

"And I promised Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo they would be my flower girls, and Spike, the ring bearer, and…well, you need some pony to perform the service and Twilight IS the duchess of celestia now…"

"Wait, back up!" he interrupted, facing her. "Are you saying…?"

She inhaled, only allowing a short breath in, and a longer one out. It was circle breathing then,it was muay Thai technique.

"I'd like to marry you, when and only when we rework the deal. I feel like... like we are close enough that we can marry."

Discord was speechless, not believing what he was hearing. This had to be a dream, or at least a trick, but he was awake and Fluttershy was not one to kid. Gosh deal or no deal he'd have to be a complete starchy spud not take up her offer. Marrying his... best friend, never being alone again, giving her anything she could ever want....

She squeaked as he suddenly took her in his arms. "Oh, thank you! You've made me the happiest creature in the world, my dear! Now, do you think I should wear a tux or what? I'm partial to a off the shoulder ball gown, something with lots of ruffles and peacock feathers-"

Fluttershy tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong. "Discord! Sweet! Youre-"

"of course if you do like traditional I can wear a tux, but not any boring- oh! What about a non-west equestria wedding!"

She squealed as he spun her, around like a fancy carousel with strobe lights. He apologized before putting her down, as she giggled and twirled her mane in dizzy. He danced gently.

Pinkie lay dormant on a large circle bed in the boutique. Surrounded by the colors not unlike that of a mallard, mottled with mustard yellows. All the ceiling drapes now caught on the columns, surrounding her like Spanish moss, however below such a flourishing plant still was an extinction. One of natural joy.

"Come on, Pinkie, this is getting ridiculous!" Rainbow exclaimed. "You've been crying for hours! You're gonna flood the place!"

"It's Fluttershy's birthday!" Pinkie cried. "I had a big party planned for her! It was going to be out in her garden! I was going to surprise her!" She pulled out a wrapped gift from under her bed. "I was going to give this to her! Now I'll never know if she'll like it!"

Applejack laid a hoof on her shoulder. "We miss her too, Pinkie, but we just have to accept…"

"How can we accept that our best friend is gone for good? We're never gonna see her again! Worst of all, she's never gonna see her birthday present!"

Suddenly, Spike burped up a letter. When he opened it, he gasped.

"It's Discord again!"

"What?!" every pony shrieked, huddling around him.

"seriously dude, get a fax machine..."

"What does it say, Spike?" Twilight inquired.

The dragon cleared his throat. "You are cordially invited to Fluttershy's birthday party at Discord's castle. Starting now."

The next thing they knew, all nine of them were standing in front of a dark castle.

"What in tarnation!?" Applejack proclaimed.

"Where are we?" Twilight wondered.

Rarity cringed as she looked up at the cottage. "Clearly an area in need of some interior designers."

"This has gotta be Discord's place!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Oh, well that makes sense."

"It wasn't supposed to!"

Everyone turned around in shock to see the draconequus standing over them. Rainbow Dash looked up in abject horror and slowly fluttered down to the cobblestone path, bolting to rarity's side.

Discord rolled his eyes. "Well, I was going to let you see her, but if that's the way you're going to behave…"

"Slow yer roll there hoss, what's goin on?"

"Didn't you get the invitation?"

He tugged the parchment out of Spike's claw using his magic. Pinkie leaned forward to read it again.

"You mean…?" Her eyes slid down the wall of her skull dropping like a sack of loose muscle. They dilated with anticipation. "BIRTHDAY PARTY!"

As she screamed, she launched into the air and fireworks exploded behind her, creating a visceral display of every possible twitching emotion contained in the word "exitement." Discord scratched his head. How does she do that? Pinkie then rushed to the front door, bursting it open.

"Wha- my door! That's teakwood"

"Discord?" Fluttershy called as she entered the main hall. "Are they…?"

"FLUTTERSHY!"

Pinkie tackled her into a hug, giving Fluttershy no chance to escape. The others galloped to her every angle and squeezed her like they would never feel again.

"Fluttershy!" Rarity exclaimed. "You're alright!"

"Girls! Spike!" Fluttershy said, tears coming into her eyes. "I missed you so much! I…" She choked as Pinkie squeezed tighter. "Can't…breathe…"

"Oops!" the pink pony blushed, not very noticeably, backing away with the others. "Sorry, I just can't believe it's you! I thought I'd never see you again and that you'd never get to see what I got you for your birthday…" She gasped dramatically. "Your birthday! Quick, close your eyes!"

"Why do I have to…?"

She was cut off as Pinkie tied a blindfold around her head. "One second!"

Fluttershy heard a few familiar blasts before the cloth was removed. The room was now walled with balloons, streamers and other party decorations.

"How did you…?" she started to ask, but she already knew the answer.

"I never go anywhere without my party cannon!" Pinkie chimed, bringing the object into view.

"oh hey, I love that band!" Discord panted out as he caught up to the six of them and spike.

She strapped a birthday hat onto Fluttershy's head, laughing as the strap poofed her expanse of hair every which way. Pinkie started up the gramophone.

"Let's party! This is my mixtape, I made it when I had that big hide-and-seek birthday bash a few years back!"

The music rang throughout the rooms, funky 8-bit tunes filling the ears with wonder and joy.

But instead of dancing, the ponies fed Fluttershy a million questions.

"Have you been kept safe?" Rarity asked.

"How are the animals?" inquired Applejack.

"How do you not get dizzy in here?" Rainbow questioned, glancing around the distorted room.

"Are you married yet?" Spike asked, looking at the engagement ring. "He seems so different!"

"Does he know pi?!" Pinkie inquired eagerly.

"Whoa, girls!" Twilight exclaimed, silencing them. "Give her some space!"

Fluttershy summed it up. "Yes, he's kept me safe in the forest, and we're not married yet. Actually, Discord's treated me quite well. He's really…sweet."

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. "You've got to be kidding me."

"We brought you here, didn't we?"

Twilight giggled, trying to lighten the mood. "What does it matter? It's Fluttershy's birthday. We should be celebrating!"

The Duchess began her awkward dancing, which everyone stared at for a while. She was so careless and free, she almost resembled that mare from Seingeld. Then they shrugged and danced themselves. In between songs, Fluttershy received updates on every pony's lives.

Rainbow Dash couldn't see her feelings for applejack being requited, so she didn't want to infringe on their friendship and dating status with rarity. Fluttershy snickered as she explained this. How aloof this filly could be! She'll be over the moon if applejack says something!

"sometimes I just see her, and we're cuddling with rarity, and I see the way she looks at her and-GOSH! She makes my heart race like when I'm flying! She's so headstrong and caring, and I just wanna take her out to treat her, y'know? Real classy just for her! wanna surprise her with something hoity toity. Like, hey! I got us a bucket of chicken! Wanna date?"

Fluttershy nearly cackled, "That's not fancy at all!

The blue pegasus rubbed the back of her neck. "It's a self proof thing. I wanna prove I'm the type mare she'd like! Like rarity!"

"I'm sure she likes how different you three are, and you don't have to get fancy for her!" Fluttershy giggled!

"Well," Rarity interjected, "I think this relationship is much sweeter and more genuine than that with blueblood! I just anticipate seeing my mares every day!"

"have you been taking those vitamins rarity?"

"Oh yes! They've worked wonders for my mane! And don't worry, applejack and rainbow dash already know. They were elated! I think I'm really gonna spend my life with them!"

She buried her head in fluttershy's embrace, squealing and tapping her hooves, blushing madly.

Seeing rarity pratter on about her love made spike's heart crumble, and slowly wash together again seeing her smile so hard and celebrate so sporadically that her mane frizzed.

The earth pony glanced at the dragon on the other side of the room, freaking it sensitive style as he watched in bitter-sweet pining. She lay a hoof on his little head, so tender and mild was the baby boy. Her eyes never exceeded the far off gaze.

"it wasn't meant to be spike. But something is. And I can't wait until you find it, Angel boy."

He smiled up at her so burning and gratifyingly, earnest as if to say "her love is my love. Thank you for showing me this."

"Who wants to play Pin the Tail on the Pony?" Pinkie called, throwing a blindfold around Fluttershy's eyes again. "Birthday girl goes first!"

As the afternoon went on, Fluttershy enjoyed her friends' company as they played more games and caught up with one another. One after the other, operation, clue, monopoly, Texas hold'em! It was after the third round of candyland that fluttershy's attention averted to the draconequus cutting it up in the corner.

She excused herself from her friends and flew up to him.

"Thank you, Discord," she said with a smile, "for bringing my friends here."

His expression changed at the sight of her. "You're welcome."

"You don't have to sit here all day. Why don't you join us?"

"I think your friends," he pointed at the ponies, baring his teeth in a way that wasn't anger, but unsureness. Q"would not appreciate that."

She was about to say something when he slid his arm around her. "Have you told them yet?"

Fluttershy blinked. "Told them what?"

He chuckled, playfully twirling the ring on her neck. "Have you really forgotten already?"

She looked down at the ring and blushed. "Oh."

She had been so excited about seeing her friends, she had forgotten the reason they were here in the first place.

"N-no, I…

"We should do it together! We wanted them here?"

"I…it's just…"

They were interrupted by Pinkie, who had bravely approached the draconequus. "Hey, Discord! You wanna play Twister with us?"

He stared at the pink pony, shocked at the invitation and then stood up. "Alright, but I warn you, I'm the world champ!"

Pinkie snorted. "As if!"

"Is that a challenge?"

"Only if you're up for it!"

"Oh, it's on!"

Before following the pony, he turned back to his fiancé. "We have to, to rewrite the deal!"

The ponies erupted in jeers and competitive whoops! Overlapping voices gave way to reveal rainbow's epic shouting.

"IM TAKING ALL BETS, 9-2 ON PINKIE, THE MARE WITH THE FLAIR, THE GREAT PINK HOPE!!"

Only Pinkie, Dash, and twilight were bold enough to go against Discord in Twister. Thanks to his long snake-like body he was able to defeat them with ease. While Pinkie called for best two out of three, Fluttershy pulled Applejack aside. Since she was the one she had confided in before, she felt more confident telling her first.

"I'm glad to see you're gettin' along fine, Shug," the southern pony sighed. "I don't know what you've been doin' the past month, but Discord seems a might different. I'm surprised he let us come here."

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about, Applejack," Fluttershy whispered. "You see, the reason we brought you here is…um…"

"Because it's your birthday?"

"No…well, sort of, really wanted to see you and this was a really special occasion.."

Applejack laid a hoof on her shoulder. "Take it easy, lovebug, Whatever you have to say, say it."

She took a deep breath. "I…I want to rewrite the treaty."

"Oh, um…great?"

"I need you girls at the wedding in the next 12 moons!"

Silence fell over the room and Fluttershy realized that she had shouted that last part. Pinkie fell from her position and Discord pumped his fist.

"Yes! Victory!" He then noticed the glares he was receiving. "Oh, come on, don't be sore losers!"

"You're marrying him in 12 moons?!" Rarity uttered.

"Oh, so you've told them!" He teleported to his fiancé's side and threw his arm around her. "Yes, our big day is in almost two weeks and you're all invited! The four of you can be bridesmaids, the foals can be the flower girls, the dragon can be the ring bear or whatever it is and Princess cranium can perform the service!"

Twilight's jaw dropped in horror. "You want me to…to…marry you two?!"

"You can't do that,I'm marrying her!" He cackled!

"Um, Discord?" Fluttershy said softly. "Could you let me talk to them?

"Oh, sure, go ahead! Who's stopping you?"

"Alone?"

"ooh, gotcha!"

Once he had vanished, Fluttershy floated down to her friends.

"That was awfully rude of you."

"Rude?!" every pony exclaimed.

"You're marrying that monster so soon!!" Rarity cried. "How do you expect us to react?"

"But you know I'm engaged to him," Fluttershy pointed out.

"We didn't…" Rainbow stammered. "We didn't expect it to happen now! And…now you want us to be a part of it?!"

"I thought you'd want to come to my wedding."

"Not when it means watching you get married to a monster!"

Fluttershy stomped her hoof defensively, "monster us subjective! And from what I've been shown I know that if he's a monster, than so are we!"

"He took you away from us!"

"It was my decision to come and stay, and I had my bargains respected!"

"how can you be so accepting of this?!"

"Because he's my friend! And he's a good pony! And if I had the choice to spend the rest of my life with anyone else I wouldn't take it, not for a million billion bits!!!"

She trailed off and realized that she had already said too much. Applejack raised an eyebrow at her flushed cheeks, more flushed than usual. She knew that look.

"Are you…in love with him?"

Rarity huffed. "Don't be ridiculous, Applejack, she just said they were best friends!"

"Yeah," Rainbow laughed. "But I call you my best friend by habit sometimes!"

Rarity gasped infiginified

"He's fun and all," Pinkie chimed, "but you can't really-

"Fluttershy, you can't be serious! He tried to take over Equestria! Three times!"

"He practically keeps you prisoner!"

"He threatened the princesses!"

"He beat me at Twister!" Pinkie shouted.

"GET OFF HER FLANK!!!"

Silence permeated throughout the walls. A hollow and yet shallow steady beat of breath rattled through the baby dragon standing defiantly above the ponies. His chest rose and his head pelted back, as arms rested at his sides, hoisting himself up upon a bench. Fluttershy stuttered,

"So you don't…?"

"I know that in a lotta places, dragons like me would be irredeemable monsters. Heck, some places don't allow us in! And while yeah uh.. few of us are, the one big thing we can use to turn back their path or like, prevent it maybe, is FRIENDSHIP."

Twilight felt the corners of her mouth perk up like they were tied with string, tears pricking her eyes. Her baby boy, her little man, her other half...

He was gonna tell her teachings better than she could one day, and she couldn't be prouder.

"I believe her. Princess Luna can be changed, and love beats up evil. If we don't practice what we preach, then what's the point of being at our friend's birthday?!"

...

As his valiant words echoed throughout the room, Fluttershy's heart sank. Her friends lost their anger as tears streamed down her face. Twilight held out her hoof.

"Fluttershy, we… I wanna hear what you have to say. I want to hear you out."

Rarity sat back and listened,giving her warmest smile, squeezing spike in adoration. Rainbow flew to her side and quirked her head smirking warmly,and inquisitivly. Applejack rested her head in their laps. Pinkie leapt from her previous position and hugged fluttershy.

"For the record, I think it's a pretty metal story tell your kids. Stretch out that ten minute story for eight years and you can get a sitcom out it." Rainbow commented.

Fluttershy buried her head in her hooves. Betwixt her grasp was a smile that flexed no muscles. Her hair was frizzy and unkempt, her limbs shook like a elm in a drought. Her nerves shot as if through a rivet gun. The queasiness never subsided, her bones were glass and her skin was paper.

She couldn't feel any of it as she embraced her friends.

"you never opened your present..."

"Oh! Of course!"

As she bore into the delicately wrapped gift, revealing to herself a jade and rose quartz comb, etched with love it read, "born to love, live to create." Fluttershy was downright crying at this point, no conclusion she could come up with was coherent enough to exact her spirit.

Fluttershy heard a grunt and looked up to see the draconequus standing over her. Despite the circumstances, she was happy to see him, for now he was here to comfort her. Her joy turned into suspense as she noted the nervous smile cracking across his face. His hands were clenched to the sides, and his eyes were glaring into the scene with remorse.

Voiceplay Visuals: ACA Top 10 80s Cartoon Themes

(This is the 5th post I'm writing in one day (using Tumblr's Schedule feature), I'm having too much fun)

I'm not actually super familiar with all of the cartoons featured in this video (I'm a Gen Z Aussie who didn't have cable for most of my childhood, don't @ me), but I've at least heard of most of them or I know later iterations of the franchises. And also I'm not here to talk about the songs, I'm here to talk about the video (released in March 2018) itself! Let's go!

Back at it again with the themed T-shirts! Eli is wearing a Scrooge McDuck/Ducktales shirt, Earl is apparently wearing an Ultimate Warrior shirt? (shoutout to a reaction video I watched for pointing that out), J is wearing a TMNT shirt, Geoff is wearing a Transformers shirt, and Layne is wearing a Rainbow Dash/My Little Pony shirt

Look at all the 80s stuff in the background! Somebody had fun putting that all together, for sure.

Also shoutout to Eli's fingerless gloves and the sunglasses on his head; he is looking very cool 👌

(Also Geoff is basically doing The Least with his outfit here out of the 5 of them, but he's nothing if not consistent 😂 (literally he seems to be either Go Big or Do The Least when it comes to outfits for videos like this, but I say this all in good fun, and I still love him)

J with the fun props, Layne with the fun sound effects! (Also Inspector Gadget is one I am at least vaguely familiar with - I watched quite a lot of Hanna Barbera cartoons when I was quite young, and Looney Tunes/Merry Melodies as well!)

Eli with the eyebrow raise! Again! (I'm gonna have to start keeping count honestly 😂) (And J being even sillier 😄)

Eli, Earl, and J yet again being "class clowns", during the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles section, with the action poses, karate moves, and J pointing excitedly to his shirt 😂

Geoff takes lead on the GI Joe section (why do I feel like he probably watched that a lot as a kid?), so it's as good a time as any for me to do another "hair examination" (since this is about 9 or so months after the Moana Medley)

(These aren't the neatest drawings I know, but they're not meant to be something I spend a lot of time on).

I swear his hair looks longer here than it does in the next two videos Voiceplay uploaded after this one, but I guess we shall just have to see if I'm right or not!

Wait hang on a moment, if Eli, Earl, and J are sitting on a couch, does that mean Geoff and Layne are sitting on the floor? 😂 (guess I can't laugh too much, I often choose to sit on the floor myself)

Love Earl and Eli's bouncing up and down at the start of the Gummi Bears section, very fun and I was doing it along with them!

"When you need help just call!"

...No words needed. Screencaps don't do it justice, but you get three of them anyway!

Again, not meant to be talking about the music arrangement here, but I have to give a shoutout to the Transformers theme song, because I was never into Transformers growing up, like at all, but that was pretty dang epic.

Another shorter post, but my next few posts will most likely be longer, so stay tuned!

Zote and Gorb Go on a Trip

Summary: Zote and Gorb finish packing and embark on their trip. Zote is grumpy. Gorb is Gorb.

Note: I've recently been replaying Hollow Knight, and Zote and Gorb are some of my favorite characters. I wanted to write a random fic about them. Don't question anything.

************************************************************************

Zote the Mighty picked up his trusty nail. The nail was named Life Ender, for it would someday end many lives. But that day was not today. 

Zote's manly brow furrowed in concentration. He tightened his grip on his nail and slowly edged along the perimeter of the room. The journey ahead could not begin without all of his trusty supplies. So where had he put his purple polka dotted socks?

Those socks were a faithful companion on all of his Quests. Without them, he would surely fall to even the most pathetic of enemies. And Zote the Mighty had many enemies. 

A foreboding thought struck him. Were his faithful socks in the laundry? Zote frantically gallantly galloped over to his laundry bin. Sure enough, right at the top of the pile was his socks. 

Zote fell to his knees dramatically. He cursed the heavens. Gorb would be there soon, and there was no time to start a new laundry load. Why did the universe hate him so?

A faint warbling noise sounded at the door. Zote rose to his feet and trudged confidently to answer it. 

The entrance swung open. "I AM GORB, " said Gorb.

"Yeah, yeah," grumbled Zote, "We have more important things to worry about. Like my socks."

"I am Gorb?" asked Gorb.

"Of course I wear socks!" Zote bellowed, "I have feet!"

Gorb wiggled skeptically, and shot a pointed glance at the stumps of Zote's legs. Zote's didn't seem to notice. 

Zote sighed. "It's hard being the most powerful bug in Hallownest," He growled solemnly, stroking his nonexistent beard.

"I am Gorb," Gorb replied wisely.

"Bah, no matter," Zote harrumphed, "A great man without his favorite socks is still a great man. Are you ready to go?"

Gorb faltered momentarily at the weight of Zote's knowledge. After regaining their composure, Gorb gave an affirmative, "I am Gorb" and held up their My Little Pony suitcase.

Zote went to go fetch his own Transformers one, and to say goodbye to his girlfriend Bretta.

"Bye, Bretta," he said in a gruff manner, not showing too much emotion as a staple to his manliness.

Bretta was staring dreamily at a photo of some weakling vessel. "Did you say something?" She asked seductively. 

"I'm leaving," said Zote, flexing his many muscles, "Don't miss me too much." 

Bretta rolled her eyes. "I won't. Take your time coming back." She planted a kiss on the vessel's picture and waved Zote away. Zote left the room with swagger, confident in his relationship with his beautiful girlfriend. 

"It's just a shame she's so clingy," he muttered to himself. "A man like me doesn't have a lot of free time to spend with his loved ones."

Gorb warbled from the other room. "I'm coming, I'm coming," Zote huffed. Zote sauntered past Gorb and out the door. Gorb wiggled along behind him. 

The two bros ventured across the landscape, occasionally stopping as Zote tripped over rocks took time to inspect the dirt. It was a very impactful journey. 

In the end they disappeared into the sunset. Except they were underground so there was no sun. They just kept walking until the camera was too far away to see them.

The bros returned to Dirtmouth the next day, much to Bretta's displeasure. 

THE END :D

TheARTBoss made my day by realizing the pillow Pete was gifted on his 41st birthday was the one that he bemoans not having in Sing a New Song (then discovers Lucius remembered it).  I offered them a prompt and they asked for a time when Izzy and Stede have to  kiss (mainverse).  Also honestly I’m bumming myself out writing chapter 4 of Hymn, so weeee here we go.) 

“Heya!” Lucius leaned out the window. “That’ll be five dollars, hot stuff.” 

“I can kiss you for free whenever I want,” Izzy pointed out, even though he was already reaching for his wallet.

“Sure, but this is kind of like roleplay if you think about it,” Lucius grinned. “I can be the Sandy to your Danny.” 

“Great, just what I always wanted,” Izzy rolled his eyes and passed him the five. The buzz of Bonnet’s inane summer festival was growing louder. “How much have you made so far?” 

“Why? Jealous?” Lucius puckered his lips. “Get yours before you blow the moment.” 

Izzy kissed him perfunctorily. They were in public, after all. 

“Let down,” Lucius pouted. “Come around the back here and give me a real one, huh?” 

With the flimsy barrier of brightly painted plywood, Izzy did feel more comfortable and let Lucius give him a kiss that was definitely his money’s worth and more. 

“Mmm, that’s much better,” Lucius drew away slowly. “Thanks, goblin.” 

“Uh huh.” 

“Hey, could you do me a solid and watch the booth for a few minutes? I’ve got to go to the bathroom.” 

“Absolutely n-” 

“Great! Thanks, love you,” Lucius gave him another peck and then sped off. 

Izzy stepped up to the little window, already prepared to shoot anyone who so much as tried to pay him. Then he looked down and the flyer for the children’s cancer ward they were apparently raising money for looked back. Goddamnit. 

Luckily, he must’ve been a much less appealing prospect for potential kisses than Lucius and most people in the morning crowd skipped over the booth entirely. 

“I’m telling you, I saw him head for the bathroom. I asked him three times not to leave the booth empty. I swear he never listens to me.” Bonnet’s prattle reached Izzy before the vision of him did. He was dressed casually for him, probably readying for transformation into Leda.  

Eddy was beside him, her very short shorts were low-rise, her shirt a tube top. Izzy resigned himself to looking her solely in the eye and hoping to fuck she didn’t notice. She would, inevitably. And of course, they spotted him immediately, one of their top tier ‘oiooooooh interesting’ looks crawling over their face. 

“Iz,” they breathed out, eyes dancing. “Now how’d you get stuck here?” 

“Luc had to use the bathroom,” he crossed his arms over his chest. “Fuck off.” 

“Now now,” Bonnet was clearly also delighted. Fuck his entire life. “That’s no way to get kisses. Don’t you want to raise money for the children?” 

“What? Like you two are going to pony up?” Izzy rolled his eyes. “You don’t have the fucking balls and Eddy already gave it a permanent hard pass.” 

“Hey, the kisses weren’t the issue,” Eddy was holding back a laugh so hard that it was making her quiver a little. 

“What was the issue?” Bonnet asked and Izzy exhaled messily, trying to resist the urge to grab the man by his overpriced t-shirt and introduce his nose to Izzy’s knee. Repeatedly. 

“Uh, I please the fifth?” Eddy floated. “Anyway. It wasn’t the kisses. In fact-” 

“Fuck, please no,” Izzy groaned. “Don’t, you goddamn asshole.” 

Eddy fishes a twenty out of her crop top and flatted it onto the wood in front of him. 

“Fine,” he gritted out, “let me get your change.” 

He ducked down under the wood and considered staying down there. Childish? Yes. But if it would prevent him from the complete humiliation of having to kiss Eddy, he’d do it. 

“Having trouble?” Bonne asked lightly. “Five from twenty is fifteen. That’s five-” 

“Shut. Up.” Izzy slapped down three fives from the cash box, standing back up. “Let’s get this over with.” 

He looked expectantly at Eddy.  So did Bonnet. They grinned wider. 

“No,” he pointed at her, “Fuck. Off.” 

“I paid for you, my love!” Eddy plunged on regardless. “Go on! Enjoy!” 

“Honey,” Bonnet protested as Izzy whined, “Eddy, no.” 

“Well, if you don’t want the five dollars for the kids,” Eddy pouted, reaching for the cash. 

“There is no way you’re taking that back!” Bonnet protested. “Stop that right now.” 

“But I didn’t get what I paid for.” 

“Oh for the love of- you’re ridiculous, my love,” Bonnet huffed and then to Izzy’s unspeakable dismay, he rounded on Izzy. “You better have brushed your teeth today.” 

“Excu-”  

Bonnet’s lips were very soft. That was all that registered initially. That and a hand cupping his cheek, warm and tender as anything. The kiss lasted maybe three seconds or many three years. Out of pure reflex, Izzy had kissed back and they parted with a slightly damp ‘smack’ sound. 

There was applause. Eddy and the suddenly returned Lucius were giving a standing ovation. 

Izzy reached for the change he’d put out for Eddy and snatched it back. 

“Hey!” Eddy protested. 

“Emotional damages,” Izzy spat and tossed it into the cashbox. 

“No fair charging for service unrendered,” Eddy crossed her arms over her chest. Her biceps flexed. 

Izzy was truly being tested by some malignant entity. 

“You’re welcome to come and get it -” 

And then he was getting kissed again. It was a miracle he hadn’t punched anyone. 

Eddy’s kiss was different without the beard, he thought inanely. It was softer and certainly kinder that any she’d bestowed on him before. Unlike Bonnet, she kept her hands to herself. She parted with a sparkling grin, dancing back a few steps far out of his range. 

“Yeah, I think we got our money’s worth. C’mon, my love, got to get ready.” 

“Right,” Bonnet was staring at Izzy inscrutably. 

“Stede?” 

“Yes! Coming.” 

The two of them left in a hurry, leaving Izzy to blink after them. 

“Uh, did Izzy.exe suffer a fatal error?” Lucius asked, amused. “Do you need me to give you a hard restart?” 

“If that means knocking me unconscious, I’d fucking appreciate it.” 

“Aw,” Lucius came back around and swung an arm over his shoulders and bringing him in. “Were they mean to you? Want me to go rough ‘em up for you?” 

“No,” he gritted out. “It’s. Fine.” 

“Oh...oh!” Lucius got very serious. “I mean, if you want, I can help you take care of that too. It’s the kind of festival where no one would care if I did it in the middle of the street, but we do have this nice  bit of plywood...” 

“Luc.” 

“Yes?” 

“You’re not...upset?” 

“Uh, little bit, actually,” Lucius allowed, pressing a kiss to his temple. “But it’d be pretty awful of me to expect you to have no reaction. And it wasn’t like you went running after it. I do kind of want to blow you though, mostly to make a point which is a bad reason to have sex.”

“They paid for four and only took two,” Izzy considered. 

“So they did,” Lucius said slowly. “So?” 

“So,” Izzy turned to him and tilted his head up. “I think ten gets to use teeth.” 

It wasn’t quite enough to erase the singularly shivery feeling of being kissed by Stede Fucking Bonnet or to wipe away the jolt of electricity Eddy had shot through him, but it was enough that as the day wore on, he just had to press his finger into the spectacular forming bruise and be grounded back to what matter.

The royal couple was on vacation!

That was what it felt like, anyway. They might as well have been. There was royal business for Heavenly Glow to attend to in the hippogriff kingdom but it was mostly an informal visit; there was plenty of time for leisure. For once in her life she was going to take it.

Sahar was absolutely enamored by the kingdom all the way from Harmonizing Heights to the beaches of Seaquestria. The salty sea air almost made her think of her fillyhood, when her parents would take her on the occasional trip to the sea. Then again, she was finding little bits of home in everything these days.

“Heavenly, look! A seashell, very beautiful!”

The Saddle Arabian mare frolicked through the sand, pointing out every little thing she saw like a filly at a carnival.

“Ooh! Inside is a crab!”

She gasped in awe, leaning down to marvel over her discovery.

“Don’t get too close, it will pinch you.”

Heavenly reminded her, generally unfazed by the sights around her. What mystified her the most was not the seashells or the hermit crabs but how alive Sahar looked, she was so beautiful when she was in her element like this.

“More beautiful things are in the water, I think! Fish and more creatures! Hippogriffs jump in water and become seaponies, they see everything. Very lucky they are.”

Then Sahar thought of something.

“You too are hippogriff? You can become seapony?”

“Yes I can.”

Heavenly nodded with a touch of pride.

“You are correct, there is much to see down there. So much you can hardly keep track of it all. All it takes to go is just a shard of the magic pearl. Mine is inside here,”

She brought a hoof up to the pendant hanging from her neck.

“Even ponies can go to Seaquestria, as long as they have a shard or know somegriff who does. It’s quite fascinating.”

“Somegriff I do know! You help me go to Seaquestria! All beautiful things I want to see!”

Sahar lit up as she practically begged Heavenly for the opportunity. While the hippogriff mare would have shot her down not long ago, she somehow couldn’t bring herself to say no this time.

There was nothing else to do anyway.

“Fine. But we must be out in time for dinner; my family is expecting us for an intimate gathering.”

Sahar rolled her eyes, Heavenly was always a stickler for schedules. But she was too excited to care much as she galloped into the water beside her. 

“Are you ready?”

Heavenly asked as she took Sahar’s hoof in hers.

Upon a gleeful nod from Sahar, the two mares were enveloped in a flash of magic as their back hooves were transformed into fins. 

Once they dove under the sea, Sahar was absolutely amazed at what she saw. 

“Wow! It is beautiful, Heavenly! Very lovely is the water, very blue!”

She swam around a bit, getting a feel for her new fins. 

“This is what flying feels like? To fly like the pegasus?”

“In a way, yes!”

Her wife’s excitement was rubbing off on Heavenly as her chest swelled with joy, a feeling she didn’t experience all that often. Not in this way. It was different than the power she felt while giving sermons, it was a different kind of divine feeling. Like freedom.

“On your back, it’s a fish!”

Heavenly felt something brush up against her wings as she turned around to see what Sahar was pointing out. 

Just as she spotted it, the tiny little fish blew up several times its size.

“Oh!”

Heavenly gasped in surprise, caught so off-guard that it took her a split second to react.

But something about the way that fish swelled up so rapidly was the funniest thing she had ever seen.

“Haha! Oh goodness!”

The seapony mare began to chortle, a joyful feeling she couldn’t describe building inside her.

This was the first time Sahar had ever seen her laugh!

“It’s like a little balloon! Look, it doesn’t even know what to do!”

She batted it lightly towards her wife who wore a mischievous grin of her own.

“Yes! It is like the sports ball!”

The two mares passed the fish around a couple times, practically rolling with laughter with each pass until they finally decided to let it go.

But their fun didn’t stop there.

For hours Heavenly Glow and Sahar explored the depths of Seaquestria, laughing and marveling at all the life that teemed within. Nothing else mattered but this moment, this was the most fun either of them had in ages. And they were thrilled to spend it with each other.

Sahar was the first to notice when it was getting dark.

“We are late for dinner? With your family?”

Normally Heavenly would have been angry at Sahar for distracting her; she would have leapt out of the sea and rushed to dinner in embarrassment. Just a few hours ago she was fussing over timeliness. But right now, in her state of euphoria, she felt something different.

She didn’t care at all.

“Eh! They will live.”

Daily Routine (Fanfic)

New chapter from my main series 🩷

Pinocchio woke up in the morning and got ready for his day, he changed clothes and made his bed, he went to eat breakfast, Pinocchio only ate some fruit because his father was still fixing the kitchen, making small talk with his father before he left for work, telling him to be a good boy while he was gone.

Pinocchio was grounded but at least he wasn’t too upset about it anymore. He decided to start the day by writing a letter to Alice, he had received one from her yesterday, describing her daily life and her other adventures, Pinocchio wrote her back telling her about his daily life, how Gemini can walk around now and how he got a pony. He would have to wait for his father to deliver the letter later, as his father mailed all of it alongside the letters he wrote for Alexander.

Then he decided to draw a little, he thought it would be fun to use Gemini as his model again, putting on a small suit he bought at the store, Gemini was all fancy looking now as Pinocchio began to draw him. Gemini is really happy, he loves it when Pinocchio uses him as a model, it makes him feel pretty, and half of Pinocchio’s sketchbook is him in different poses. Although Pinocchio draws so many different things, drawings of nature, animals like cats or dogs, drawings of houses he sees while outside, sometimes even if it feels a little childish he likes drawing himself and his father together in a simpler style, or drawing himself with his mother or his other loved ones.

After that Pinocchio decides to practice playing the violin, he doesn’t just practice with his mother and he loves playing it even if he isn’t with her, although he can’t practice the piano here since he doesn’t have one at home. This time Gemini decides to join him as well, both playing music together, it’s simple but beautiful, and they should play together more often.

It’s already a little past noon, so he decides to eat something, it has to be something that doesn’t need to be cooked so he decides to make himself a salad, Pinocchio now realizes that the only true thing that he doesn’t know how to do when it comes to making food is how to use a stove or an oven.

Then Pinocchio decides to do his favorite thing, he has accumulated a good amount of books, and his bookshelf is almost full, currently, he doesn’t have any new books to read but he still likes re-reading the ones he already has, specially his fairy tales collection, after all the incredible things Pinocchio has seen, he wonders if all these stories are really just works of fantasy, oh well, real or not they are so fun to read, Gemini now reads them alongside him while he sits on his shoulder.

He puts the book he is reading down, it’s time for him to do his chores, he cleans his room and then goes around the house cleaning, dusting, sweeping, and mopping the floors.

It’s not long before his father comes back home so Pinocchio decides to play a board game with Gemini, now that Gemini can walk around they decide to play a card game, as the cards are something light enough that Gemini can hold in his hand.

“Gemini you can’t add +4 and +2 in the same turn!”

“Oh now you follow the rules of the games we play, what happened to the “those are just suggestions”?”

Pinocchio grabbed Gemini and put him inside his cage, then he started shaking it.

“You brat, This is cricket abuse!”

“Ugh let's play another game”

“You are such a sore loser,” Gemini said as he got out of his cage, feeling dizzy. “We could play chess, we have never played together”

Pinocchio liked that idea, he grabbed the board and settled the pieces, and he went first making his move. Then Gemini made his move, pushing his piece with his body.

“Looks like you are having a lot of fun moving around” Pinocchio was happy that Gemini was happy, as he said that Pinocchio made his next move.

“I am” Gemini had a smug grin on his face, “Check”

Pinocchio looked at the board, seeing that Gemini’s queen was directly against his King, he had no other way to defend it.

Pinocchio tried grabbing Gemini but this time the cricket was faster and started jumping and running to avoid him.

—-

“Son, what are you doing?” Geppetto asked as Pinocchio was kneeling looking behind the couch.

“Nothing” Pinocchio lied, pulling an innocent smile, “Me and Gemini are just playing hide and seek”

Geppetto smiled, “It’s getting late, maybe you should take a bath, you and Gemini can play later”

Pinocchio nodded, a bath was a good idea instead of just a shower. He filled the bathtub with water and soaked in it, he also made a few bubbles with the liquid soap.

“Hi buddy” Gemini jumped to the side of the tub, then jumped to a soap holder that was inside, Gemini using it as a small boat so as to not get inside the water, he is waterproof but he doesn’t want to get wet; he is liking floating in the water like this, maybe he should see about getting a mini boat, it could match with his new tiny tram.

“So you were hiding here”

“This is the last place you were going to look for me”

Pinocchio gave out a sigh he always loses when he plays board games with Gemini.

“Can’t you let me win at least once?”

“Nope, I like seeing you getting mad and turning into a brat”

“I’m NOT a brat!”

“Sure, whatever you say”

They both laughed, even if Pinocchio always loses they had a good time together.

—-

Pinocchio ate dinner and started to watch his father assemble the new stove and oven, he asked him why he doesn’t just read the instructions manual but that was the wrong thing to say because his father went on a rant about how he is a great engineer and assembling a little stove is nothing for him. Pinocchio just nodded at what his father was saying, but he and Gemini looked at each other and rolled their eyes.

It was getting late so Pinocchio got ready for bed, he wrote a few things in his diary about what he had done during the day and about what he had been feeling lately.

After that he went to bed and so did Gemini, both tugging themselves into their respective beds, saying goodnight to each other.

Stencha's Jedi Diaries- Day 5

Dear Diary,

It’s been an uneventful first week since my arrival in the new world. I still have yet to meet anyone face to face, but I have finally found a settlement. The locals call it “Ponyville” and are comprised of various ponies, unicorns, and pegasi. I believe I have found the source of my physical transformation. I think Dad really did just send me to a pony dimension. Whether this pony world would contain a Jedi or not is up to investigation.

Unfortunately, I don’t think visiting the town would be a good idea. I had to spray a predator attempting to hunt me down, and the spray got all over my tail. Even if I’m able to cloak the big white stripe on my tail, the rancid smell is more than enough to draw unwanted attention. But then again, they may also have food and shelter. And I’ve been running low on food for the past five days. My stomach’s been killing me after all. Should I go ahead and take the risk?

…

Unfortunately, after very careful consideration (my tail stinks way too much), I have decided against going into town for food. Guess I’m going back to foraging for berries and nuts and whatnot.

As Stencha finished writing the draft in her journal, she heard shuffling from outside the cave which caused her to jump. Somehow, two of the world’s locals have found her.

“Pew-WEEE!!! What in the world is that stink!?” One of the ponies cried out as she put a nose plug over her nose.

“I think we found our friendship problem,” The other pony said covering her muzzle with her hoof.

“Hello? Is anypony in there?” The second pony asked as Stencha looked out to the entrance of the cave to see the two ponies' silhouettes. One of the ponies, the one with the noseplug, was a little pink pony with a matching poofy mane while the other pony without it was a little white unicorn with a luscious indigo mane. They saw the desperate look on Stencha’s face when she saw them. She wanted to ask them for help, but she had no idea if she could trust them, or if they’d even say yes.

“Are you lost? How long have you been in this cave? Do you need any help with anything?” The unicorn asked. The two ponies, while obviously repulsed by the stink, pushed through to make sure Stencha was okay even though they had no idea who she was. After looking up and seeing the unicorn stretch out her hoof to help Stencha up, it’s clear she was in safe hands now.

UPDATE TO LOG: I have been saved by two kind and generous souls who gladly took me to their home in town. The ponies call themselves “Pinkie Pie” and “Rarity”, and were more than willing to help clean the stink up off of me and make sure none of the other ponies thought I stunk too much (Pinkie Pie did this crazy thing where she held onto the stink fumes on my tail like a balloon to make sure no one caught a whiff). I have and almost will always be self-conscious about my stink, so I always make sure to use it as a last resort. And considering my connection to the Force and my Dad’s lightsaber, I hope I never will have to.

Speaking of which, while I was cleaning myself up (They almost fell for the tomato juice myth before I was able to stop them), they noticed my Dad’s saber and asked about it. I didn’t want to tell them too much in case they were to snitch on me or something, but I did tell them it belonged to my dad, who sacrificed himself to save me. And I said I wanted to honor his sacrifice by training to become a Jedi. Though I thought I was in for it when I said the word “Jedi”. Their eyes and ears perked up in shock the moment I said I wished to be one. I thought they were gonna screw me over or something.

Thankfully, though, it was the exact opposite outcome. Rarity said that one of her best friends recently revealed herself as a Jedi and is willing to tell her about me, as well as let me live in her boutique. I simply need to find a way to pay her back for her generosity. Maybe if I asked for a job in her boutique? She looks like she could use a helping hand…er, hoof, I guess.

I’m getting ahead of myself here.

Anyway, I guess I’m living in the Carousel Boutique now, and I’m expected to meet my new Master in the coming days.

This is it. I’m finally gonna be a Jedi.

I won’t let you down, Dad. I promise!

My Thoughts If Weird Al Voices Charlie’s Dad In Hazbin Hotel

well if Weird Al did end up voicing Lucifer Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel,

I know it would brighten my day, cause well even if he doesn’t know that we are technically family, I think it was a few years ago that I found out that we are distant cousins on some family tree place...

and well besides the whole Walt Disney and Jim Henson, he is one of the few distant family members from the tree, that doesn’t embarrass the family.

Lady Godiva’s husband is a embarrassment, I like that I’m a descendant of Lady Godiva and it is kind of funny the whole “Peeping Tom” is thanks to her and some guy name Tom, maybe if he did go blind maybe some Angels poked his eyes but wasn’t there some info that said that Tom guy had died after peeping on Lady Godiva....?

also even if I do find out I’m distant family to some famous people or like some royal families, doesn’t mean they know me or my family that has been around me for most of my life, so I can’t do any favors like at all that has to do with them.

but try telling someone who wont listen and thinks I can help with getting in contact with them, so they can pitch their ideas....once again, NOT possible.

it be interesting if there was a drawing where it has Wreck-Gar from Transformers Animated, and on his head is sitting Charlie Morningstar’s Dad Lucifer, and on his shoulders is Cheese Sandwich from My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, and a cartoon version of Weird All is on Wreck-Gar’s right or left shoulder.

all while one of the songs of Weird Al Yankovic’s songs plays in the background, like the Polka Face song.

maybe weirdness runs in the family, but I don’t know if he would end up becoming the voice of Charlie’s Dad or not, one can only dream XD

earlier I think I was feeling a little down but also tired too, I did mention it at another place, and boy do I got a lot to say about my disgust with some parents and judges from Michigan, yeah there are some sickos from different parts in the states, but I wouldn’t of known about well how screwed up a certain thing that goes on over there, if it weren’t for finding out about Med Chicago.

I hope the people in Michigan who has some common sense and know people like that Reverend, need to be stop....

[Feel Free To Skip Down To Where It Goes Back To Talking About If Charlie’s Dad was voiced by Weird Al Yankovic.]

if that Reverend was a real person and not just a character, I would want to punch his lights out, I mean if I was strong enough to do that...

and I would like to kick him below the belt.

even if it is good that the legal age to get marries is 18 years old, but that doesn’t give idiot humans the right to break that freaking legal age rule by doing such disgusting idiocy of stupidity.

well it isn’t like they will be going to Heaven, so it is likely they will go to Hell.

even Reverends like that character from that Med Chicago, at least when I went to Hell in one of my past lives, it wasn’t really my choice and it was because of some stupid humans who were all Toxic-Satanist.

this is probably one of the reasons why Earth Angels, should NOT be placed in families that will just end up doing that cr*p.

it sucks knowing that in one of my past lives, I was born into some Toxic-Satanist Family, then again it would be bad being reborn in any Toxic-Religious Family that crosses lines that should NEVER be crossed, not just those who are Toxic-Satanist.

that Reverend from that Med Chicago, is so a Toxic-Reverend and should go to Hell for his disgusting inhuman filth ways.

also I know that even though the me that is now (and not the versions of me from a few of my past lives), wasn’t born yet during a time when two people in my family had married, and one was 14 and the other was 17, doesn’t mean it was right, and the parents and the people who was giving them the okay to do so, should of at least known better, but they didn’t.

at least they weren’t my parents, I would be ashamed of them.

I guess I do have a bit of Daddy issues, I mean there are a lot of people in this world that might have either Daddy or Mommy or Renny Issues.

 wonder if I should count my Soul-Dad as part of those Daddy Issues, well a soul fragmenting and the fragment becoming a baby soul, would be some form of Soul Asexual Reproduction.

also I can’t remember the name of the video or the channel, but I know it showed some jerk who didn’t seem to get that Asexual Reproduction and Asexual as in the Asexuality, are TWO DIFFERENT things and are of course not the same.

oh yeah, and if some percent of humans today are descendants of Nephilim and the Watchers, then yeah they can be added to the Ancestor Daddy Issues as well...

the Grandpa Watchers, Grandpa Nephilim and the Grunkle Watchers and Grunkle Nephilims aren’t the boss of me.

and I would flip the double birds at them if I was allowed to....

I’m still procrastinating in checking to see if my blood type will come out the same as it did the last two times, so checking to see if it will do so for a third time will have to probably wait a little longer....

it’s not like I mean to put it off for so long, all I know it’s suppose to be O RH D Negative, and I know my Mom has the same blood type, well except the “D” part in there, and I like to think of the D part as Determination like from Undertale.

I can say that my blood type is full of Determination.

 I think maybe the reason why I picked Demi-Goddess as part of my new tumblr name on here (well it has mystical and deltarune in there as well...)

maybe because it is suppose to be like funny ironic, I don’t know, something that is suppose to be funny and sarcastic but not really to be taken seriously?

I know there is this one org place, that has some info on the different blood types...like how O RH D Negative is The Most Ancient Blood type and O RH D Positive is The Second Most Ancient Blood type. and it is in the same org place, that talks about the Grail Children.... I guess I could say the name of the place, it's called templeoftheola.

even if O RH D Negative is part of the whole Grail Bloodline,

I think it is possible that I am just gonna be a distant cousin of Jesus, I mean yeah I can believe there can still be a slim chance and small possibility that he could end up being my Ancestor as well, but at least I know it is still possible he isn’t my Ancestor and is just a distant a cousin.

if he were my Ancestor, there will be need to be some form of proof, like DNA or family tree showing it is true.

but “Grandpa” or not, don’t mean I will agree with him crossing a line if a certain info is true, which I hope it isn’t true.

and yeah just recently I had started to get thoughts that I can’t trust all Masculine Angels, at least when they get into that whole Toxic kick of theirs.

even if there might be some I can still trust, who aren’t being insensitive jerks.

but still, yeah it can be bad when Feminine Angels could get all Toxic just like the Masculine Angels....

I mean would it hurt some of the Feminine Angels to like stop some Toxic-Feminist from going all Hazard-Karen...?

like those three little girls that Bart Simpson thought were cool, but they were just three brats who wouldn’t know real equality if it slap them over the head.

they are just as bad as most boys, at least when I’m Semi-Misanthrope it includes women and not just men...

and even if I am not very powerful, and I am a Defective Earth Angel.

but I know I did have some thoughts that if Jesus and Satan did cross a line,

like some info saying that Jesus would start a war between nations and some other info, which I kind of hope that info isn’t true, I mean I found it on some place that is called Gods and Demons, it’s a fandom place.

even if it is just a thought and I know I am not powerful to do so, but if Jesus ever did cross that line that says in the info that’s in his bio on that Gods and Demons Fandom place....

well the thoughts I have is that I would avenge the Earth and Humanity by starting Omniageddon, it’s a weird thought, but even if there are bad people in the world, there is good people as well.

like the Stronger Than You Parody, that has Rose Quartz singing Stronger Than You.

I am Her Knight, I am Their Shield...

even if some of that info I found before, might possibly be true, doesn’t make it right, and I don’t want him to cross that line.

if Heavenly Father allowed it, I would take both Jesus and the Antichrist by the ears, I mean yeah I had thoughts about just taking the Antichrist by the ear, but if I was allowed to, I would do the same to Jesus if he so much as cross that line.

Earth might not be perfect at times, but how is it suppose to get more better when he tries to do harm to it, and I don’t think Earthly Mother would be too happy with that, and I am on her side.

I can still believe in God/Heavenly Father, but I don’t agree with his son crossing a line.

it just adds to one of my reasons of wanting to go live with the Goddess/Earthly Mother...

I can still believe in Jesus, but at the same time not when he plans to do something really REALLY bad....

anyway, enough talk about that mess, let’s go back to talking about well the possibility or what if Weird Al voicing Lucifer Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel.

I think it be interesting if Weird Al voiced Charlie’s Dad, but we know the chances of that happening are very small...

and you know, the real reason I had signed on here, before hearting some fan art on here and deciding to talk about my thoughts on Weird Al voicing Lucifer Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel, and even some of my thoughts and feelings about that other stuff....

I had signed on, so I could block someone named Erin, even if we don’t know each other but I have my reasons and I rather not talk about those reasons right now. [Editing This To Say That I Decided To Not Block Them, but it doesn’t mean I wont in the future if I’m given another reason to, right now I will not block them, at least for now, I can only hope that the fanning the flames does stop soon.]   

after I do what I need to, I can check out some more art on here.

later I plan to play Undertale, and give Frisk and everyone a permanent happy ending with no more Resets.

I had made a Mii to look like Frisk for a Offline User Account on the Nintendo Switch, I had started out naming the fallen human Frisk, and once I had spared and showed mercy to Toriel, and after Hard Mode was over with, I could Reset and change the name to Chara.

but after getting the True Pacifist Ending, where everyone is happy on the Surface, I’m not going to Reset the Timeline for a second time in that one that has the Mii-Frisk, which has the name “Frisk” on it.

I can still play Undertale and Reset and play it all over again on the other that I play it on, but I want to give one save version of the game, a permanent happy ending, where everyone that was free from the Underground, wasn’t pulled from the happy ending timeline and sent back to the underground.

if it was a AU, I would call it Novembertale or Novermber’s Mercy.

of course tomorrow it will no longer be November, but I had started the new timeline and made that Mii-Frisk on November 29, 2022.

after I do get that happy ending in that one offline account, I wont play Undertale on that one again, maybe just well open up to it once in a while just to check the numbers of the save and the ending title that says “The End”, I don’t know.

I can still play Undertale on the Nintendo Switch, but that one where it has Mii-Frisk will only have Undertale’s True Pacifist Ending, with only One Reset, and the other times when Frisk/Chara gets a Game Over and ends up going back in time before it happens.

plus even if I wont play Undertale on that Mii-Frisk one after I get the Happy Ending where everyone is out of the Underground, I could always play Deltarune on it whenever I want as well.

I just like the idea of giving the Monsters from Undertale, a Happy Ending where they wont be pulled from the surface and placed back into the underground.

and if my plan works, it would mean that version of Frisk would of never fought Photoshop Omega Flowey, and only fought Asriel The Hyper God Of Death.

anyway even if I did try to do some Mercy in the Hard Mode of the game,

I kept having a little trouble, and had to show a no mercy, expect to well a few like Migospel and Toriel, so lucky the LV had stayed at LV 3 after finishing the Hard Mode.

but after doing the Reset, I made sure not to [Fight] and only [ACT] and [MERCY] to the Monsters, or like run away if I need to.

earlier today I was trying to fight Mad Dummy, but my Fluffy Baby was in the way, so I couldn’t watch out for half of Mad Dummy’s lackeys properly.

I will try to fight Mad Dummy later, well without pressing [Fight] and try as best I can not to get a game over and wait for Blooky to show up.

I wonder if any other fans of Undertale have thought of this...?

like still playing Undertale and doing the resets, but making fully separate save from their other saves and giving another version of the Monsters and Frisk a Happy Ending where there was only One Reset that happen when changing the Fallen Human’s name from Frisk to Chara.

even some versions of the game characters we love from Undertale,

deserve to only experience One Reset, and be able to stay on the surface without being made to go back in the underground.

so that is my weird plan, I will get back to work on doing that later.

I can’t wait to see the new chapters of Deltarune, I mean I can but you know what I mean right...?

each of the new chapters will be worth the wait, just like how it was worth waiting for Bendy and The Dark Revival. 

of course I have only watched a walkthrough of that game, and it might be a while before I can get that game.

I can always enjoy it by just watching the walkthrough of the game, even if I can’t play it right now.

anyway even if I and maybe a few others might think it be awesome that Weird Al ended up voicing Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel, it doesn’t mean it will happen.

it is just wishful thinking and hopeful dreams, sure we got lucky when the same guy who voiced Zim from Invader Zim ended up voicing that precious cinnamon roll Moxxie from Helluva Boss.

but that doesn’t mean we are gonna get lucky with the whole Weird Al voicing Charlie’s Dad from Hazbin Hotel.

it just seem like a great idea if it did happen, and if Lucifer from the show ends up singing in Weird Al’s voice, you know that is going to be something.

like picture a fan art short short comic, where Lucifer is giving one of his speeches when a Sinner Demon/Former Human speaks up and calls out

“Sing the song White and Nerdy by Weird Al Yankovic!!!”

that would be the best thing to happen, and it be funny too.

it might amuse Charlie and Lilith that some Sinner/Former Human, is asking Lucifer to sing the song White and Nerdy by Weird Al Yankovic.

and well I know that as soon as there is a official design of Mammon from Helluva Boss shows, I am so going to do another drawing of him wearing a shirt that says “This Dork For Rent” with a drawing of a arrow pointed up at his face.

I like the idea of one of the nicknames for him being Manny.

if Asmodeus can have Ozzie as a nickname, than well maybe Mammon will have nickname in the show as well, even if it might not be Manny.

and if Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel is a goofball and silly, then Weird Al voicing him would fit very well and match his personality.

but even if I and few others would like to see that happen, having Weird Al voice a character from Hazbin Hotel or even Helluva Boss, it doesn’t mean it will actually happen, we can just have that wishful thinking and just like the idea of Weird Al voicing Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel.

not everyone has to like the idea about Weird Al voicing Charlie’s Dad,

and it’s okay that it’s just me and a few other people who like the idea of Weird Al voicing Lucifer Morningstar from Hazbin Hotel.          

[chaosnightmare]

so these are going to be split up by location because different dimensions have different cultures that affect some of these answers

Characters from Initial (our dimension)

What is the characters go-to drink order?

Yka: milk. give Yka glass of milk

c_sharp: xe will not order xerself you have to do it for xer

Samie: pink lemonade at restaraunts that have it, soda of some kind otherwise

Rem: iced tea

808: white claw. hipster

What is their grooming routine?

Yka: she doesn't have much of one. its kind of redundant because of the. bleeding

c_sharp: shower, wash hair 3 times in 10 minutes, get out of shower and slather self in hand sanitizer, repeat several times a day

Rem: rem takes no care of herself whatsoever

808: 808 also takes no care of themself whatsoever

Where does their disposable income go?

Yka: you could put yka in a sensory deprivation tank and she'd literally be fine. she spends nothing on anything

c_sharp: xe likes to buy rare beyblades but doesn't like the sound they make so never uses them. xe likes to buy lots of quality of life items but then hates the change and never uses them. xe buys new clothes and hates the texture so xe gives them away. do you see my vision

Samie: berrys room is filled with plush toy projects where berry buys a cheap plush toy from a drugstore or something and then frankensteins monster style transforms it using other toy parts like sid from that one movie. the biggest one has so far cost 100+ dollars and is a teddy bear with the most arms and legs physically possible, berry has to keep expanding the bear to fit more legs on it

Samie: berry had to leave home a while back and leave berrys friends in the process. lots of tears but berry never told anyone why or where berry was going. there's a whole story to this but its less related to the crying thing

Rem: so a big part of rem's story is being socially outcasted and how that history helps her communicate with nonhuman entities far better than humans can, obviously that outcasting comes with a lot of grief and heartache. i have a vivid scene in my head where its revealed that the guy she liked was playing an elaborate prank on her as a dare and he breaks up with her in the rain and she weeps and its very disney channel original movie but you get me

808: saw a video about a dog rescue yesterday and cried about it for 3 hours

Rem: braid style sandals like she's a costume of jesus

808: deeply scene lace up canvas boots with my little pony stickers on the sides

Yka: yka does have a bedroom but its minimalistic and takes up her entire house. up to the wall there's a small bed with no blanket that she sleeps on posed like a dead person

c_sharp: huge bed in tiny bedroom, lots of comforters and feather pillows, all of it pure white. on the ceiling above there are glowing star stickers

Samie: since berry is usually travelling and can't come to the room often, berry uses a sleeping bag and sleeps under the seats on trains. it's a simple sleeping bag, light blue and pink, nothing too special

Rem: her corner of the dorm room she stays in is pretty empty with the exception of some books, clothes laying around, and a computer. her bed is shitty, no sheets on metal bedframe with a weighted blanket and like 5 pillows

808: in the back trunk area of a van covered in band posters and alien sighting newspaper clippings on two dog beds

What is their favorite holiday?

Yka: don't have one

c_sharp: christmas but xe only likes it for the spirit

Samie: valentines day

Rem: barrier transition lockdown day, which is an emergency nationwide lockdown day marking the biannual time that the space between dimensions shifts and they all have direct communication with eachother, that she treats like a holiday

808: halloween

What objects do they always carry around with them?

Yka: nothing. literally nothing

c_sharp: pocket knife for self defense hope that goes normal for xer and nothing bad happens

Characters from Heaven

What is the characters go-to drink order?

LibreVeil: no thing☺

Honoa: cloud froth (fictional)

What is their grooming routine?

characters in heaven do not sleep or wake and do not get clean or dirty

that said if Honoa was human she'd have the patrick bateman skincare routine

Where does their disposable income go?

heaven has no currency

Do they have any scars or tattoos?

no ♡

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances?

LibreVeil: so. libre is hiding something very serious about herself and its taking a major toll on her emotional health so she cries regularly. she's being contacted, and in fact is the only citizen of heaven capable of being contacted by spirits in hell. this would be taboo in heaven since the two are at war and she'd be accused of being a spy. very sad for her

Honoa: ewww tears gross ewwwwww

Oldest, middle, youngest, or only child?

everyone in heaven is siblings

Describe the shoes they're wearing.

LibreVeil: white metallic sandal-like shoes shaped like vines that snake up around the legs

Honoa: rarely wears shoes in the first place unless traveling

Describe the place where they sleep.

so everyone in heaven sleeps on a floor of the gated part of heaven dedicated entirely to being a bed. its made out of clouds so they all look like those cute little drawings of animals sleeping on clouds

What is their favorite holiday?

heaven has no holidays they think time is a ridiculous invention by people who die, which nobody in heaven is capable of to their knowledge

What objects do they always carry around with them?

LibreVeil: gauntlet that allows her to cast protective shielding magic with like 80 other people. she's frontline during dimensional shifts in case hell invades (they never do) or humans from initial get in (they always do)

no drinks in hell unless you want to start seeing the scary evil skulls

What is their grooming routine?

Cathode: no

PANOPTICO: no

@ KINZ: no they are slime

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances?

Hasamin: he fake cries all the time in order to get his way but i don't think he has ever legitimately cried before

Deltrax Vvezranikha: he's old enough to recall the separation between heaven and hell, which brought him to tears for a multitude of reasons, mostly guilt for having any responsibility in it (he was close to the person who was accused of starting the whole mess with the spread of their ideology) but also a sense of relief

Cathode: too young to experience true sadness, cried the first time she cut herself on accident

PANOPTICO: was also there during the separation, vividly remembers having to tell someone she loved deeply goodbye as the dimensions walled themselves away from eachother and the memory makes her emotional when the war is brought up

@ KINZ: they were once human and died in a way that sent them across dimensions and landed them in hell. sometimes that happens. they cried in their last living moments because their cause of death was, like, excruciatingly painful

Oldest, middle, youngest, or only child?

same rules as heaven

Describe the shoes they're wearing.

Hasamin: no shoes idiot

Deltrax Vvezranikha: huge plate armor boots that come up to his waist, colored white and blue as is the rest of his outfit. they are heavy as Fuck

[glapplebloom]

With Discord Vs Bill getting a spotlight in the Death Battle Poll, let’s look back at previous fights..

Rainbow Dash Vs Starscream

For the time, I think it was pretty good. The banter between the two was great and for one of Ben’s earlier works it is well done. The research could have been better but that’s still in the early days of Ponies and they had weeks to do the research and animation on their own. Would the results be different if we did this now? I’m not sure. Starscream ain’t no Optimus Prime, but his match did show how powerful the Transformers could be if you look into them more. And sadly my knowledge of Starscream is limited to make the assumption one way or another. Meanwhile Rainbow Dash got stronger and faster. While others I feel put them a little too highly, it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if Rainbow Dash still beats Starscream. He’s a person that literally screams “please beat me up”.

Pinkie Pie Vs Deadpool

This is obviously a joke fight. It was always meant to be and I think it was pretty fun. Especially when they met the actual people behind the show. And seeing them visit other Death Battles was fun as well. Was it a good season finale, probably not but that was the way the dice was rolled. But if it didn’t end in a draw, who would really win this fight? As seen with Deadpool Vs the Mask, Deadpool has no real counter to Cartoon Shenanigans. But luckily for him Pinkie’s isn’t as extreme as the Mask. And if Deadpool has the Continuity Gem, he could defeat Pinkie Pie. We’ve seen numerous examples of Pinkie Pie changing because of an outside influence. So the Continuity Gem could give us Tribal Pinkie Pie or Sombra War Pinkie Pie or Marble Pie Pinkie Pie. But that is non-standard for him so I could see Pinkie Pie 

Twilight Sparkle Vs Raven

Sadly, I think this one got more hate than it should now. Back then, I was hearing stories about Death Battle Fans looking to the Pony Fandom for Salt when they were looking at the one person who believed Raven couldn't beat Twilight. Now I see people saying that Twilight was lowballed (still losing to Raven) and some people not wanting Death Battle to do ponies again. To the point that someone was making a petition to stop Bill Vs Discord from happening (there’s more to that, but won’t bring it up beyond this). The thing is that the match was still under the old style of Research. Everyone gave their inputs and opinions. While I don’t think Twilight is as powerful as people think she is, I think if she was done today she would be more buffed up compared to then. 

Look at Thor’s evolution from the three different generations. Thor Vs Raiden was still with just the internal team. Thor Vs Wonder Woman was when the research team was free to research any match and not research it when they wanted. And Thor Vs Vegeta showed how a dedicated Researcher to a character will boost them more. Still won’t beat Raven, as she was likely also not as researched as she could be now, but still would probably satisfy people who are Pony Fans and in the Vs Community.

Discord Vs Bill Cipher

Now that it has been revealed, I won’t saw anything since this hasn’t even started yet. But I do hope that whatever happens, everyone will be cool about it.
