S2 arcane spoilers!!

Anyone else notice how dim viktors eyes look in the new season like

And it's like this for nearly every other shot

Compared to his eyes in s1

And he's rlly out of character too

And sure that could be the trauma of EVERYTHING that's happened

But I feel like it's more than that

The hexcore is controlling him obviously so maybe we'll see him try to fight against it??

I really hope he does bc I don't think the whole magic arcane Jesus thing is really working for me tbh

OR if he doesn't manage to get free of the hexcore maybe he decides to lean into it by baking himself even more robotic buy powered by hextech or whatever the new equivalent would be

I've also been thinking maybe he'll start upsetting the chem barrens?? But it seems kinda unlikely

I drew a new cover for my Pony x Muffy comic~

[eclipsedoodler]

I’m actually pretty happy with his design so have a Grian :D I’m still working through some of the magical mountain folks, so they’ll be posted all together another day

His cutiemark is supposed to be in the shape of the evo symbol, I’m just not super happy with it rn. Might change.

Mom said it’s my turn to draw this meme

Woona!

Luna may get more power and change her appearance

But this one hug encapsulates the love and healing that we get glimpses of for the rest of the series.

usually the issue i come across with wlw ships is that im interested in the other elements of a show but the sapphic relationship itself falls flat— it doesn’t mean it’s not good and cute but for some reason it just fails to pique my interest and i feel bad for not being diverse enough in my enjoyment of romance, especially when the romance in question is what my relationships are going to look like!!

with arcane though, specifically caitvi, it’s the opposite. i loooooove caitvi they complement eachother so well and are genuinely so interesting to just watch. they’ve got good chemistry and the build up is natural and well-paced too !! it’s a really believable ship!!! the only issue is i cannot get invested in arcane the plot, besides jinx, caitlyn, and vi bores me :((((( it’s a grand visual display and just feels like an awesome to simply watch but my attention span is short and drifts when im unbemused

Honestly I’d really like to make some kind of MLP AU or redesign/rewrite or whatever else of the sort because MLP was essentially my first fandom and it’s extremely nostalgic to me, but I’ve seen so many people do it already and have found myself physically incapable of producing something that isn’t blatantly copying what other people have done :/

That's my friend you're talking about...

Yes you could, but I am extra,, and s t r e t c h

I’ve been working with draft horses for a long time. While I don’t think I’ll ever go blind to their size (you have to stay conscious for safety’s sake, if nothing else), it’s been long enough that the novelty is mostly gone. I say mostly because every once in a while I have a moment where I’ll see a draft next to a normal size object and bust out in a complete giggle fit.

Yesterday I was getting ready to ride with a friend and had one such moment, seeing our steeds tied next to each other:

On the right we have Jet, 15hh (5’)*. This is a perfectly average horse height.

On the left is Rosie, 18.2hh (6’2”)*.

*for the non horsey folks: we measure height at the withers. That’s the point where the horse’s neck meets its back.

i am going to share about G3 art and my personal relation to it

For my entire childhood, I had a G3 poster on my closet door that i would study endlessly. I admired how pretty the ponies looked, their locks seemingly effortlessly shimmery and soft. I wanted nothing more than to step into the poster and relax beneath a shady tree on the soft grass with them. the first time i realized i wanted to try drawing a pony, i was six years old. my debut attempt was Pinkie Pie.

The G3 style has many intricacies that I knew I could not capture with my six-year-old hands. However, soon enough G4 hits the scene— flat characters with simple lines, and the hair- oh the hair! Simple, easy, followable shapes, and by fourth grade I could draw the mane six from memory.*

*Rarity was the exception and the bane of my existence for most of my pony-drawing years. Even today, her tail still trips me up without reference.

In 9th grade, I stopped openly drawing ponies. Steven Universe filled the void they left in my little teen heart, and was more socially acceptable for kids my age. And hey, it got me to start drawing humans! Ponies found their way into my art again with the advent of Covid, and I dip back into previous generations more, including G3. It had been years since I had drawn ponies, and I felt rusty, but now it’s been years of me actively drawing ponies again. The same amount of years as my hiatus. And it’s nice to think about it that way, as a hiatus, because when My Little Pony stopped being “my thing”, everyone around me acted like I had grown up and moved on, implying it was something to be grown out of. It made the part of me that loves it worry that I could never love it loudly again.

That’s the nice thing about growing up; maturing, and realizing that loving loudly is how you find the crowd that loves the real you.

In 2022, I was on a hardcore commission grind. Under lots of pressure from my parents to be making income, but struggling at my job in retail sales. After the store is robbed during my closing shift, I quit— even more pressure to earn money off my art. Commissions are all I think about. Commissions are all I let myself draw. I can draw fast. I can draw cute. I can draw for cheap. So it’s all I fill my time with.

Burnout finds me in November. It takes me a very long time to admit it. To myself, to the clients I couldn’t fulfill. It’s frustrating. It’s enraging. It’s humbling. There’s nothing I can do but feel dormant as I’m no longer able to churn out an image an hour. And it’s long.

When I couldn’t reliably draw for others, I could only draw for myself. Which means, I get to be self-indulgent. I get to explore what I want to draw. No one’s paying me, so I may as well only draw when I want, what I want, right? And I do. Time’s arrow marches onward. I look back and realize— hey, I’ve actually gotten, by my standards, really good at emulating the G3 style. Which is cool enough as it is, right, but. This is special. This is the style on the poster I admired every night from toddlerhood to teenhood. I learned it for nobody but myself. Mastering this very specific skill is a direct love letter to the child within me. The child within me is joyful for it. I did it! That’s me! I’m the same person who wished I could! The very same soul, and the soul inside of me is so happy with what my body has managed to do.

I’ve come really far since that first spiky-haired Pinkie Pie. I wonder where I’ll go from here?

no more fighting.

I really miss MLP
