#Investigate the Earth Pony

[allyooops]

Very inspired by @whirlwindflux and his 3 flux's. We have 3 Inq's! Sort of!

Terro is determined, headstrong, ready to go and get her answers. She is distrustful of ponies outside of her best friend Dream Reader.

Invy is bubbly beyond Inq, asking questions aimed to get ponies and creatures to open up to her. So long as your not a subject for her latest column, she'll keep your secrets.

Their bear and cat form still remains the same,so I'll just draw their pony form instead.

Don't look them was no more than some normal pony,they're actually shadow from the metaverse.But no worry,they meant no harm!

As the cutest mascot in their team,they shares a lot of similarities,obsessed with one of their teammates,losing their own memory,afraid of not being accepted by their team.......

Different with Teddie,Morgana was stuck in cat form most of time.He gained his earth pony form in Elixir Paradise's reality.And of course,that form disappeared as the reality does.

Magically,the society got no doubt toward their mysterious background and allowed them to live peacefully with their friends.

As a pegasus Junes worker and a pet cat.

Don't think about how even if there was no crash Anya would have still been in a terrible predicament. Don't think about the fact that Pony Express definitely didn't place enough medical supply for an abortion let alone a baby. Don't think about how even if they managed to get to earth, she would've either been overdue for an abortion or had to get one at her own risk. Don't think about how she disclosed the matter the to Curly which means Pony Express can intervene. Don't think about how if the SA becomes public either a) Cops Conduct super invasive investigations or b) Pony Express simply just fires Anya cuz Jimmy ranks higher. Don't think about how even if nothing ever happens, the crew doesn't get laid off, they never crash, Curly takes Anya seriously etc. Jimmy still raped Anya and now she is pregnant with her rapist's child. Don't think about how if nothing happened Curly would have continued to be captain, Daisuke would have gotten a different job knowing he doesn't want to do this, Swansea could return to his family and continue his sobriety, Even Jimmy would have been a drunkard and simply went back to what he was before Pony Express but not Anya. Anya isn't even a proper nurse. She won't be able to learn nursing. Don't think about how no matter which way you interpret an alternative way for Mouthwashing, the real tragedy of Anya persists in every single one.

my little pony lawlight. thoughts?

light (unicorn) is a late blooming blank flank who only gets his cutie mark after he becomes kira and then has to hide it from everyone so he gets a fake cutie mark made up (notebook and pen to symbolise being really smart 😊) which he has to meticulously reapply every week or so when it fades. he is still committing real murders even though he is a pretty pony. equestria is rotten.

L (earth pony) has been sent to ponyville by princess celestia to investigate the disturbing pony murders, and hopefully make some friends along the way! 🥰 he doesn't. he (pony) does move in with light (also pony) allegedly to get light's scholarly help with stopping pony kira but mostly because he suspects light of being pony kira. also kira keeps being foiled accidentally by pinkie pie's random hijinks mostly because she's always delivering sweets to L pony.

oh wait also light pony's name is Light Turner because he turns things to the light! 🥰🌞 and his voice actor is nat wolff. from netflix. that whole plot with nightmare moon and also everything else in the show still happens btw L and light pony just have their own shit going on in the background and also ponies keep dying. i hope this helps

Different.. colored pony doodles

Talking under the cut!!

Real talk though. I've been thinking about Klav and him being a unicorn like his brother and how would that fit overall, since initially i made him an earth pony.

Because it also made sense to me, since i did kinda made Gavins with Flim and Flam in mind, but with Klav specifically there was also Coloratura, because. Reasons. Wonder what you guys think fits him more?

Dahlia and Iris, i've been thinking that their cutiemarks should be something practically the same at first glance, like Pear Butter's cutie mark being preserved pear jam.

Ema is also a mystery to me, because initially i wanted her to be a unicorn, but that was at the same time i wanted to switch Klav to a unicorn. Which would mean in the court setting and investigation time - Trucy would be the only earth pony. Which is really funny.

I hate how most prosecutors are pegasus in my head.

And how Miles starts flying again after meeting Phoenix in court. You know that fidget Twilight once did? I imagine him doing it pretty often, especially if he's flustered.

Also idk if i should tag these sillies.

Pre-movie ponysona lore 🗣️🗣️

tfw when you're investigating a suspect for being too interested in pegasi and possible technology smuggling, but she's always doing weird fangirl stuff around you and that's distracting so you can never catch her-

Bonus:

Here's the whole story down the cut fdfd

Pre-movie events, Sketchy Blush used to be an unsolved case on sheriff Hitch's career. An earth pony with nothing unusual to report who suddenly wouldn't leave her home and avoid any questions? Odd. It was when Hitch heard her asking Sunny about pegasi, then spotted her drawing on an odd device later that night — some sort of...thin screen you could use without any cables? A 'tablet' if he heard her muttering correctly — that he knew he had to investigate. Easier said than done. How could he focus with her acting the weirdest ways whenever they met?

Sketchy loved art, but she was not into painting nor drawing on paper like all earth ponies, so why did she have an oddly-shaped pen on her cutie mark? One day she stumbled with an artist pegasus who pretended to be an earth pony to study them (probably not canon but tbh I HEAVILY doubt no pony ever tried watching the others closely at least once even if for the thrill of it, look at Argyle). Once it was clear he was no murderous creature, she got interested in what he did and they made a deal. Everytime he visited she'd give him food and answer any questions, and he would give her pegasi technology so she could do digital art too. She managed to live off commissions and all that stuff. Shame she had to pretend to be a pegasi in social media AND hide her new life from her own kind. The worst part? The handsome sheriff won't stop investigating her!

-

ye that's all. I wanted to explore the idea of what if a pony was fated to do something not available yet because of the division, hence the idea of her doing something that required advanced technology. That led to the dynamic of suspect vs sheriff. Hitch treated her as a criminal mastermind bc he just could never catch her on the act, but really she only managed to get away by sheer stupidity lmao They do warm up to each other with time(the chase becomes more fun than irritant at some point), but it's not until everypony begins living in harmony and her profession became...well, legal I guess, that they can properly become friends(and maybe more ;) )

Kronii: my hobbies include, thinking about women, women, being amazing, thinking the horrors of the world, disassociating while I contemplate mortality and my own morality, be right-

Ame: be perfect?

Kronii: that is a full time job, thank you very much!

Ame: ah sorry, my bad!!

Kronii: you better be! Anyway, be amazing-

GOD i love them

the ask didn't specify ponies but ive been thinking about drawing them and this just felt like a rainbow dash and scootaloo dynamic that i needed it

for au notes:

kronii is a pegasus with BIGASS wings (one of the fastest fliers, does not hesitate to use it to get away from people or just block them off and pretend theyre not there)

ame is an earth pony who looks up to kronii and kind of wants to be a pegasus like her, hence her makeshift cardboard wings that she ties to herself

kronii really likes ame because at first, ame boost her (already ginormous) ego, but ends up being like a guardian to her (VERY rainbow dash and scootaloo core, the main difference is that kronii usually hates other people- ponies- peonies- whatever)

ame doesnt really care about flying that much, shes just really interested in wings. like kronii will take her flying, and will be like "look at the clouds around us!" but ame is just watching how kroniis feathers glide against the wind

EVENTUALLY ame grows up to study the differences between ponies and how she can bridge that gap, making wings for herself that can actually work, thanks to the help of her friends (because friendship is magic and whatnot)

whether she has cardboard wings strapped to her or her more realistic ones attached for a test flight, kronii always randomly shows up to fly with her (at first, to impress her, but then to watch over her and guide her through flying)

she also just sits there sometimes and lets ame do whatever to investigate her wings ("you just let her mess with you?" "its better than being out and. ugh. talking to ponies." "bruh.")

ALSO theres going to be some posts in the queue that will come after this but i drew those BEFORE this one but for any continuity errors, this one is the most accurate as of right now (design wise)

i do have more ideas for them (holoponies in general) that idk if ill draw but i am open to any suggestions :)

[enquire]

Mystic Moonshade

I think I finally figured out what to do with Mikako, so here we are.

This design was a little more out there, as I went for making her a zebra/okapi/pony hybrid!

My intent was to give her a connection to other forms of magic, and give her a bit of a mysterious vibe. The one zebra in MLP we get, Zecora, is an expert in potions and obscure medicinal magic/plants, and is a general example of a pony who uses alternative magic in a way.

I think Equestria's non-unicorn based magic; things like alchemy, potions, charms, earth pony and pegasi magic, curses, magical creatures, and of course, spirits, ghosts, and the like, would fit in well with the 'ultimate excorcist' talent. So Moonshade is an expert in all things supernatural, and obscure. (since magic is an everyday thing in Equestria after all) Still focuses most of all on the departed, but she has a lot of knowledge /interest in various stuff.

Her okapi aspects came from wanting to give her extra horns (which might be capable of producing some slightly different magic) and because the markings give here a bit more a mysterious vibe which I liked. It's a bit more detailed, but I think it's fine for now at least. Her unicorn horn functions the same way any other unicorn's would.

Anyway, on to her little background info segment:

Mystic Moonshade is passionate about Equestria's strangest and most unknown phenomena. Ever since she got her cutie mark, she's been uncovering secrets and solving mysteries; from hauntings to ancient artifacts, Moonshade explains the unexplainable. Either via science, magic, or through healing the hearts and minds of the ponies involved.

She's discovered and named several new creatures, placated spirits, and even managed to lift the decades old curse or two. But her biggest strength might not lie in the supernatural, but rather in soothing the hearts of those faced with the problems and occurrences she is called to solve.

When she was just a filly far too young to remember her parents or where she came from, Moonshade fell into a river and almost drowned. She was swept far away, only managing to survive by clinging to a hollow log.

She was spotted by a pony named Spark Stardust, not far from Canterlot, who immediately dived in after the tiny filly. After rescuing Moonshade, he brought her home to stay with himself and his son, Gizmo.

She couldn't offer any explanation as to how she had gotten there, or much of any information about herself beyond her name. The Equestrian Guard opened an investigation into her parents, but without much to go off of, and a huge distance potentially between Canterlot and where she had fallen into the river, they had very little success.

No pony ever came forward looking for a missing filly matching her description, and the leads quickly ran dry. After a year, Moonshade had already begun to become a part of the Stardust family, so when the time came that Moonshade was officially labeled an orphan, Spark decided to adopt her.

It took some time for Gizmo and Moonshade to adjust to it, but in time, they became extremely close. Nowadays, the two of them are often seen together, and both support the other in any way they can. Gizmo has created multiple inventions in order to help Moonshade in her work, including a arguably effective ghost detector, and a more practical set of very durable saddlebags with locks for when Moonshade comes across an item with less than stable properties, or that is particularly valuable. Meanwhile, Gizmo's go-to unicorn for help testing his inventions is his sister. They have participated in many experiments together, both scientific, magic, and everything in between.

Gizmo's inventions often rely on magic as much as science, and most of his knowledge on the subject came from Moonshade. He also has gone on many of his sister's quests and travels, helping her bust myths and the occasional ghost.

Moonshade has an uncanny ability to read other ponies. While she cannot read others' thoughts, or anything like that, she can sometimes sense more hidden emotions, and other things like that. If Moonshade says somepony is giving her a bad vibe, it's probably with good reason. This leads to her both being an excellent judge of character and being very good at noticing when something is wrong. For example, she was the first one to pick up on and understand Saber's invisible wounds even though he almost never lets a single glimpse show on the outside. She also has a knack for sniffing out secrets.

This ability of hers only gives her insight into where to direct her attentions, though; it doesn't reveal all, and in fact can sometimes be altogether unhelpful, as the feeling that something is wrong without being able to pinpoint what can be quite frustrating.

Moonshade is more of an extrovert than her brother, being fine with meeting various strangers for her work, and the one responsible for introducing her brother to many of his acquaintances and friends.

Out of the group besides her brother, she is closest with Thrift, as the three of them were childhood friends. She also managed to get Ember to warm up to her impressively fast, despite them not knowing each other for as long or and living in different places. The two of them bonded over their penchant for unraveling supposedly unsolvable puzzles, and reading. Whenever Ember visits Canterlot, she makes it a priority to spend time hunting through the cities many bookshops with her.

Moonshade is not as close with Saber as he is with Gizmo, but they are still good friends, and with Gizmo and/or Thrift often around they are often drawn together regardless. (and happy for it) Saber is one of the few ponies Moonshade often finds herself spending time with in comfortable silence.

It's not like she and Clover aren't not friends, but for some reason, there always seems to be a bit more distance between them, and Moonshade is a bit bugged by the fact that she knows very little about him compared to everypony else. Despite him being very close with some of her closest friends, she is more familiar with most of her acquaintances than she is with him. And for whatever reason, they never seem to end up one on one, either.

I think that's it for her! I always start these background posts thinking 'I don't have enough lore for this one yet' but then end up filling up the post by the end haha. To be honest, I struggled a lot with her design, and going a more unique route helped me land somewhere, but I'm still not entirely sure about it. I'll have to think about it.

Also, I think "mystic" moonshade is alright, but perhaps another first name could be better. Also, Spark Stardust for Hanzo is still up in the air. I'll see if it sticks... I wanted he and Gizmo to have a family naming convention that fit with Stardust Industries, but it is a bit unusual to have the exact same word in their names by MLP standards... I was going for something like the Pie family names, but I'm not too sure about "Spark." It's just okay.

Saber Frost, Cold Steel, and Radiant Ember are my favorite names so far. Coming up with pony names is surprisingly fun. It's great when I can get some phonetic similarities in as well haha. (Radiant Ember - Rei Mekaru anyone?)

Astarion x Female OC

Rating: Mature

Summary: What if Astarion was betrayed by the Dark Urge and handed over to the Gur Hunter? And what if another kind of hunter saved him and set his life on a new course, one that would ultimately lead him to cross paths with those who had abandoned him? This story aims to give Astarion his own hero's journey separate to the main party, and will run parallel to the canon story in which Durge will be an antagonist.

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

The forest lay quiet, bathed in golden light filtering through dense canopies that arched like ancient cathedrals over the narrow dirt road. The clip-clop of Gandrel's pony disturbed an otherwise tranquil woodland, his cart rolling steadily as he adjusted his reins, his attention largely on the road ahead. Behind him, in the cart's shadow, lay a large cage cloaked in heavy canvas, edges bound tightly with rope. Gandrel's eyes flicked occasionally to the side, cautious, as if sensing something amiss in the quiet.

In his periphery, a dark shape loomed, slinking from the undergrowth. A giant direwolf, fur like tarnished steel, padded up beside the cart, its massive paws silent on the earth. Astride the beast sat a young elven woman with raven-black hair, braided and woven with feathers. Her ice-blue eyes held him in a gaze as unwavering as her mount's. She wore a mix of leather and fur armor, each piece worn and shaped by use, the rough sinew of her life in the wilds. In her hand, a bow rested, almost lazily, but her body remained taut, poised as if she could spring from her seat at any moment.

Gandrel steadied his voice, though his grip on the reins tightened. "Greetings, friend - if friend you may be," he called out, keeping his tone cautious yet amiable. "I am Gandrel. May I know your business with me?"

The woman inclined her head slightly. Her expression gave nothing away, yet something about her presence prickled at his instincts. "Greetings, Gandrel. I am Ashara. My business with you will depend on what is contained within that cage of yours."

Gandrel glanced back to the covered cage, feeling a sudden surge of unease. Though he masked it, a shiver crept up his spine. Guiding his pony to the side, he stopped, watching her with wary eyes. She made no move to approach, but the direwolf's amber gaze was fixed upon him.

"It holds no beasts of the forest, if that is your concern," Gandrel replied, choosing his words carefully. "Only a prisoner, one I am taking to Baldur's Gate."

Ashara's expression didn't shift, but her posture did, almost imperceptibly; her bow was suddenly, dangerously, taut, the arrow aimed directly at him. "People are disappearing up and down the Sword Coast," she said, her tone sharp as flint. "I've been hired to investigate. You will show me this prisoner. Now."

Gandrel forced a placating smile, raising his hands slowly. "Please, do not mistake my intent. The prisoner I carry isn't one of your missing innocents. He is vampire spawn - a creature my tribe tasked me with capturing and delivering to Baldur's Gate."

Ashara's gaze never wavered, the bowstring taut in her grip. "Nevertheless, I require you to show me this prisoner."

Reluctantly, Gandrel clambered down from the cart, moving slowly to avoid provoking her further. He reached for the ropes holding the thick canvas in place, fingers steady but betraying a flicker of resignation. With a swift motion, he pulled the covering free, revealing the cage's occupant.

—♤—

Ashara's gaze sharpened as she took in the unusual features of the elven man in front of her: red eyes like garnets gleaming beneath the tangle of his silver curls, pale skin sunlit, but without the burns that would afflict a vampire. He was on his knees with his hands bound behind his back, a strip of twisted cloth silencing any cries he might have given. A rope wound tightly around his neck, the other end of which was passed through the bars of his prison and tied to a metal ring in the bed of the cart.

As he caught sight of her, the elf strained against his bindings, muffled sounds slipping past the gag as he glanced between her and Gandrel with urgent desperation.

Gandrel held up a hand, intercepting her questions before she could voice them. "I understand the confusion," he said, his voice calm yet resolute. "I was also taken aback to find a vampire walking freely in sunlight. But make no mistake - his immunity only serves his deceit. He used it to win the trust of a band of adventurers."

Inside the cage, the elf shook his head furiously, his eyes flashing with fierce protest. In a desperate effort, he scraped his gag against the bars until he managed to free his mouth. Though Ashara searched for telltale fangs, he kept his lips firmly pressed - a gesture that did not escape her notice. She hesitated, her gaze sharp with suspicion, yet unwilling to accept Gandrel's explanation outright.

"Please, listen," the elf gasped, his voice smooth yet strained, an accent polished with nobility. "This Gur is lying through his teeth! My name is Astarion, and I'm a magistrate from Baldur's Gate. I was kidnapped by this thug, who most likely intends to ransom me. Free me, and I'll see you richly rewarded."

Ashara studied him, noting the regal, carefully groomed air about him, the elegance of his speech, his clothing - though dirtied - was finely made. She looked back at Gandrel, suspicion flickering in her gaze. "Proof," she said quietly, her tone brooking no argument. "Show me proof of his nature beyond mere words."

Gandrel's expression flickered as if with hesitation, but he nodded in resigned acceptance. Climbing up onto the cart, he took hold of the rope tied to the elf's neck and pulled it taut, dragging him toward the back of the cage despite his furious writhing. Tying it off, he produced a key and moved to the cage's door, opening it and stepping inside.

Ashara watched, a prickling unease creeping up her spine as he seized the man by the hair, forcing his head back with a relentless grip.

Astarion snarled, his voice venomous. "Unhand me, you filthy bastard! What are you - no!"

Gandrel ignored his protests, gripping Astarion's lower jaw with his other hand, forcing his mouth open to reveal sharp, glinting canines, gleaming in the sunlight like a predator's trap laid bare.

"See?" Gandrel murmured, his voice low, yet something in his eyes seemed troubled as he looked back at Ashara.

All pretense vanished from Astarion's face, twisting his elegant features into something feral as he jerked his head, his fangs flashing as he snapped at Gandrel's hands. The hunter barely flinched, releasing Astarion with an eerie calm, stepping back as if accustomed to such wild resistance.

Gandrel's voice was devoid of sympathy. "I take no pleasure in this, spawn. It would have served you better to be truthful."

Astarion strained against his bonds, spitting like a wild cat. "Go to the hells! I'll tear you to pieces for this, Gur."

Ashara felt a chill crawl up her spine at Astarion's abrupt, vicious change. He'd gone from a desperate prisoner to something far more dangerous, a predator wounded and cornered. Still, her voice was steady when she spoke to Gandrel, watching him as he locked up the cage and loosened the rope tether, giving Astarion just enough freedom to slump back onto his knees.

"What will happen to this vampire once you've delivered him to your people?" she asked, her gaze flicking to Astarion, now panting heavily, his eyes wild with fury.

"What do you think? They'll kill me!" Astarion cut in before Gandrel could answer. The fear in his gaze stirred something reluctant in her, as he pleaded, "Look, I'm sorry for lying, but I haven't done anything wrong. I wasn't going to hurt anyone, I swear."

Gandrel's expression hardened, his voice now cool, a wall built from old wounds and memories. "That may be so these past few days, but you're wanted for more than just being a vampire. You helped steal away the children of my tribe. My own included."

The words fell like stones, each one a blow that left Astarion frozen. He flicked a nervous glance at Ashara, his composure wavering. She caught the tension in his shoulders, the flicker of shame in his eyes, so brief it could've been a trick of the light. But when he looked up, anger masked his face once more.

"I didn't have a choice!" Astarion's voice rose, a bitter edge cutting through it. "Cazador ordered me to take them, and I had to obey. All his spawn have to obey - you know that damn well, Gur!"

Gandrel's face hardened, but a flicker of pain crossed his eyes, so brief Ashara almost missed it. "Willingly or not, it makes no difference. You know what happened to those children, and you will tell us."

Astarion looked away, jaw clenched. "You want to know what happened? They're probably dead by now." His voice was low, resignation tainted with anger. "Nothing I say can change that, and I won't apologize for something I couldn't control."

The weight of Gandrel's sorrow settled heavily in the silence between them, and his jaw tightened, a haunted glint in his eye. "Then my people will have their vengeance... one way or another."

Astarion scoffed, a hollow, bitter laugh escaping his lips. "Killing me won't change a damn thing."

Gandrel turned to Ashara, his eyes weary but resolute. "Now that you've seen my prisoner, am I free to continue on my way?"

She glanced back at Astarion, who had slumped back against the bars, head bowed as though each breath was an effort. A faint sense of guilt stirred within her, but she forced herself to nod, her voice quiet. "Yes... your business with this man is your own."

Astarion's head jerked up, his eyes ablaze with fury and betrayal. "Damn you!" His voice cracked, the anger veiling something more fragile. Then he fell silent, a hollow figure against the iron bars.

Ashara straightened, stroking her wolf's thick fur as she gave Gandrel a respectful nod. "Onyx and I apologize for detaining you, Gandrel of the Gur. May your journey be swift and your burden light."

A weary smile ghosted across Gandrel's face as he climbed back onto the cart, his eyes softening as he inclined his head. "And so too may yours be, Ashara."

She nudged Onyx to step aside as Gandrel took up the reins, his cart lumbering forward along the winding path. But as they passed, her gaze fell back to the figure in the cage. Astarion was watching her, and in his eyes, she caught a shimmer - a trace of something unguarded, unfeigned. A plea that was all the more startling for its sincerity.

"Please..." he whispered, his voice a fragile thread, breaking under the weight of despair. "Help me."

She tore her gaze away, her chest tightening as a pang of guilt twisted within her. Beneath her, Onyx sensed her discomfort, and gave a low rumbling growl of reassurance as they slipped back into the forest.

Beneath the cover of trees, she dismounted, letting her thoughts drift as she resumed the task she'd abandoned earlier - skinning the deer she'd taken down just before Gandrel had passed by.

Onyx settled beside her, his watchful eyes fixed on her with a calm assurance as his voice echoed in her mind.

"You feel guilt over the vampire. Waste not your sympathy. His kind are known for cruelty and deception. His fate is one he surely deserves."

Ashara paused, turning to run her hand over the thick fur along Onyx's neck. "I know. But something about seeing him caged like that - so desperate for freedom - it reminded me of you. People said you were a monster too." She gave a half-smile, her eyes softening. "And I'm glad I didn't believe them."

Onyx's muzzle curled into a canine grin, his teeth glinting. "As am I, my friend."

She sighed, tracing the line of her blade over the deer's pelt. "I know I shouldn't get involved-"

"Then don't." Onyx's voice was calm, grounded in a wisdom that often tempered her impulsive nature.

"But maybe we could free him and let him go somewhere remote and far away from people?" she argued, more to herself than to him. "Like that owlbear we rescued from hunters?"

Onyx scratched an ear, tilting his head thoughtfully. "A vampire is not an owlbear, Ashara. If he is freed, he will remember every slight, every indignity. And he will eventually return to civilization, hungrier and more cunning than before. Do you truly wish the blood of the next innocent traveller he meets to be on your conscience?"

Ashara felt the weight of his words and lowered her gaze, her resolve weakening. "No... you're right."

Onyx's voice softened as he leaned his head against her arm. "If you choose to free him, his fate is your responsibility. You would have to ensure he never harms another innocent soul. And that would mean keeping him close and watching over him."

She glanced up, startled. "What... like a pet?"

A rare bark of laughter escaped Onyx, a sharp huff that made her smile despite herself. "No, not quite. I do not think he would take kindly to that title."

Ashara grinned, feeling slightly foolish at her assumption. Then, a spark of curiosity glinted in her eyes as she remembered. "Oh, how did I do back there by the way?"

Onyx nuzzled her cheek affectionately. "You handled yourself well. You were confident, respectful."

"I wasn't too aggressive?"

"For a man who captured a vampire? I think you showed just the right amount." His amber eyes gleamed approvingly.

Ashara gave a small, proud smile, her hands resuming their work. But even as she focused on the deer, her thoughts drifted back to the prisoner. Those crimson eyes, filled with anguish, haunted her. And as the forest wrapped around her, she wondered if she could truly let that plea go unanswered.

school keeps me busy so I havent really done much about my mlp!Kimetsu no yaiba au besides thinking, anyways what I thought so far:

The kamados are earth ponies

Tomioka is an unicorn

Sanemi is either an earth pony or pegasus. (I'm starting to lean towards son of an earth pony, his mom, and a pegasus, his dad, that way I can play with his dinamic with genya adding another layer by making Sanemi a pegasus and Genya an earth pony)

Kyojuro, per results of the poll, is a dragon and therefore so are the Rengokus.

Mitsuri, per results of the poll, is a kirin which I'm definitely going to use with her whole insecurities about her strength and such (people are scared of her because she is a kirin oh no :[ )

Obanai is an unicorn too, smaller than average and with small horn giving him difficulties when using his magic, reason he gets bullied in a family of unicorns (distrust of women + unicorns yummy...)

Uzui I have to investigate about the flashiest mlp species, however I'm leaning to making him a crystal pony (Cause of his ninja headband having something that kinda looks like rocks?)

Ubuyashikis are cursed alicorns (Yes technically I'm ignoring the lore by making them all alicorns since they have to earn it and Candance daughter is the exception, but I'm thinking that as the eldest son takes the place of the leader they become an alicorn or something) the curse drains them of their magic, alicorns are mostly magic therefore they die once it drains them enough (also gives a good excuse as to why Kagaya doesnt laser beam Muzan's ass)

Shinobu and Kanae might be half changlings (unicorn mom or Pegasus mom + redeemed changling dad)? If I go this route, Kanao will a changling.

Zenitsu HAS to be an unicorn but I cant decide whether Inosuke will be an earth pony or pegasus, I was thinking a Yak but those were used in mlp as an in for a different ethnicity and racism episodes I dont know if I should use that species for the "savage" boy.

I have to check the name, but Muichiro might be an hypogriff(is that the name?).

The demons will be different species, some mind controlled/cursed by Muzan (not sure what he is going to be yet), the uppermoons and lower moons however are conscious (redeemtion arcs for some? :3 )

Not as many deaths I wanna do it in true mlp fashion, all hashira live, however there will be deaths (Tomioka's parents, but his sister stays alive she is just missing; Muichiro's and Shinobu's parents are death like applejack's parents; etc.)

Debating whether Tanjiro will be able to save his whole family or just save Nezuko who will be cursed.

Definitely way happier ending than Kny, but only cause they are ponies.

Last but not least: Giving it a corny ass that fuses the titles My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Cute is justice!

No one could doubt it,unless they want to fight the sister complex steel kingpin of the Investigation Team!

Most of people call her Idy.She was a princess,an angel that no one should harm.

But her mother passed away years ago,all thanks to a hit-and-run accident.At the same time,her police father can't spend much time with her since he needs to work hard in order to find the one that killed his wife.

So most of the time,she was forced to stay at home alone and waiting for her father to come back.But,gladly,she got her cousin,which is Steel Volt that could company her in her daily life.

As time passes,she gets to know more people,and she'll use her warming personality to thaw their heart when they facing some difficulties.

Soon,she becomed everyone's precious.Maybe that's one of the reason that nearly everyone in the Investigation Team goes mad right after she got kidnapped and died.

Fortunately,she revived because of Teddie.She also lost all memory about the TV World and she'll get a headache if she dares to enter TV World again.After that,she starts to practice piano,just like she used to do before her mother passed away.

I thought you were joking when Lois abandoned her son in outer space and returned to Earth to pursue a scoop..but no-she really did and lol what’s her problem? Did anyone really like jon? Because why did Superman not care at all? 🤣

I'm sure DC is pushing Lork so hard because they have contractual obligations with the Siegel estate, because if Lois isn't front and center of every Superman story, they will take her away.

In any case, that being the situation, writers are doing a lousy job at making the readers like her. Lois became a burden to the Superman franchise. A burden heavier and heavier a decades go by. She's a one trick pony: she's an investigative, brazen, rude reporter and nothing else. They keep the obsolete Daily Planet because only there she can shine, forcing Clark to remain in Metropolis for her. They tried to make her the exemplary mother to Jon, a Superwoman, now the chief editor of the Daily Planet. She just doesn't have the charm. The other thing in which she excells is annoying people, but it is backfiring since she started annoying the reader. Only Some disgruntied and malcontent fans of hers keep popping now and then to defend her long lost cause when they feel attacked. They only feel attacked when SuperWonder is mentioned, because, DC made sure of it, nothing else can interrupt Lork ideal family...they forgot they are making Lork being its worse enemy. People won't respect Supes as long as he's the doormat of Lois and he can't be with Lois unless he keeps being the doormat of Lois. The situation is turning ridiculous and unsustainable. Some asshole editor of DC once said "every good story about Superman is a story about Lois..." Yeah...how is that working, boys? The creativity invested by DC in justifying her omnipresence is greater than the creativity they put in writing the character. That must mean something.

As for Clark, even artists understood the only way to depict the character and make it believable was to turn it into a cartoon, a caricature of itself:

instead of a dashing, reflective hero he used to be

It suits what she sees in him: a unidimentional hillbilly dude called Clark Kent, instead of Kal-El. Clark Kent or Superman he really is.

Lois is close to her death as a character. There's not much their enablers can do to instill life into her. She's a character unable to evolve: if she evolves, she dies. If she doesn't, she dies. She's dead anyway.

Some Superwoman, huh?

Account Update 🌟

I haven't been on this platform in years and slowly started making posts and reblogs again. Most of the accounts I did follow back then are either gone, or no longer active. So I'm listing EVERY THING I'm into, so I can follow people back with similar tastes and interests. Consider it a get to know me things whole I make updates. Reblog, share and comment as much as you want, I'd really like to make good use of this site again. Especially since I'm a YouTube Spoofer and part time writer, and always getting inspiration. Which also means my channel is going through revamping, so you'll see some activity on and off as things are scheduled ahead of time.

Plus I'm working on creating my own animation studio with friends to bring my original ideas to life as movies and series in the future. I love to spread joy and fun to others to who aspire to animate as well! Warning: there's a a ton of things I love! 😅

hi im lore, I've been thinking about my malevolent au where team jarthur gets transported to different realities and they have to keep cycling through them until they get home. the 1300s isn't enough I'm slapping these 2 smack dab into ponyville.

princess celestia goes missing so they've got to detective around to find out whats happened all while trying to avoid the mane 6 cause they really don't want to solve this with friendship. but the mane 6 think that the new, weird, and rude ponys did it so they corner them and make em join their own investigation. arthurs slowly losing his mind because man doesn't have any fingers anymore and he's trying to explain his multiverse struggles to a bunch of horses. the more time they spend in there the more they become pg and its really scaring John. shenanigans ensue

also arthurs an earth pony with the lighter and magnifying glass as his cutie mark. john looks like queen chrysalis but no one can see him except for alicorns, so meeting twilight means they've got a lot of explaining to do
