Pe Ursula K. Le Guin am descoperit-o prin intermediul animației făcută de Studio Ghibli (Tales From Earthsea) și mi-a plăcut atât de mult filmul, încât am decis să citesc și seria. Dacă anul trecut mă delectam cu primul volum, Un Vrăjitor din Pământșimare, anul acesta am ajuns la Mormintele din Atuan - o poveste ceva mai atipică, dar frumos scrisă și captivantă datorită temelor filosofice pe care le abordează. Cu siguranță ajung și la următorul volum în curând :)

Haven't posted my art here in a bit, so I felt like sharing some random designs from my next gens!

I think the young six (or student six) are fine as characters, but the school of Friendship itself was a terrible idea and completely missed the point of the first 7 seasons. Not only that, but the very concept kind of gives off a “let's civilize the savages” vibe.

Yeah, someone pointed that out to me:

I guess Twilight's goal was to bring the other societies to a better level. The in-universe explanation for why Equestria is a more advanced society is because ponies have more inherent magic than the other creatures. And the reason why they have more magic is because they are more friendly and kind... I guess...

So I can understand Twilight's train of thought: create a school to teach the values of friendship to the other creatures while also teaching them about how Equestria got to be where it is (which is through friendship magic), and hope that they will take that knowledge back to their societies so that they will do the same, and get to Equestria's level. I guess on a surface level, I get what she was going for...

Yeah, the ponies are the "white savors" in this scenario. I understand her line of reasoning, but... it's kinda weird 😅 darn.

I like the young six perfectly fine too. Although I have a problem with the way Smolder is written sometimes, specifically her interactions with Spike, the inconsistencies about dragons that come from her, and the way her meer existence retcons Garble's entire character...

I honestly think that the writers seemed to favor her, and gave her special treatment. But maybe that's just me, idk.

But all of these things are the fault of the writers, not the character herself. Also I don't like how Silverstream's personality is way too similar to Princess Skystar (her cousin, from the movie). I actually think her brother Terramar is a more interesting character, and should've been in her place.

I also don't like how the young six are written to look smarter than the main characters sometimes (Non-Compete Clause, School Raze, every single episode Smolder shares with Spike, etc.).

Their existence in the show, along with the School of Friendship, is kind of unnecessary and redundant. I understand that the point of their existence is to show that non-pony creatures are worthy of wielding magic and should be treated as equals, which is a good idea for a story/lesson. They also wanted to show more of the culture/societies of the other creatures, which is a cool world-building idea...

But that entire storyline was really really awful and poorly executed. There were so many better ways they could've done that. They didn't even establish which student is connected to which Mane Six member until the last minute:

And world-building for the sake of world-building isn't as good if the characters don't get something out of it. There are past episodes that show the societies and culture of the other creatures, but the characters go through some development (The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone, Gauntlet of Fire, Not Asking for Trouble, To Change a Changeling, etc).

Season 8 should've been about the characters being called on cutie map missions to the other societies. There are only two episodes that do that (Surf and/or Turf, the Sound of Silence). Not only will they have world-building, but the characters will actually get something from it too.

And maybe at the same time they could've gotten across the anti-racism message without having terribly written villains to fuel the flame, idk...

If they wanted to send the message that non-pony creatures could wield Equestrian magic, they should've just made Spike the 7th Element, and have his Pillar be Scorpan. It would be a better story, and get their lesson across.

It also could've been a metaphor for how in real life, many minorities have important contributions to American society, but they’re ignored and/or forgotten by history.

The story could've been that Scorpan created the Tree of Harmony with the other Pillars, but either Starswirl didn't write it down in his journal (for some reason), or somepony else found it and magically altered all the texts to erase Scorpan's involvement later down the line.

Well, that would've been a better story than the School of Friendship anyway 😅

Gallus: Behold, the dichotomy of sibling relationships.

Silverstream: (hugging Terramar) We ride together, we die together! You and me against the world!

Smolder: (after Garble gets arrested for vandalism) No, officer, I’ve never seen that man in my life.

I’ve more or less finished planning out the rest of the ScootaMar divorce arc so it’s time to start listening to this playlist again

I recently finished reading the first book of Earthsea and since I enjoyed it so much decided it needed a fanart! I havent started the next one ‘cause I didn’t want to read anything else until I finished this drawing. Maybe expect more fanart later haha.

It dawned on me that there's a loooooot of MLP art I never posted heeeeeere for one reason or another. .____. I don't think I was focusing much effort on my Tumblr during this era of my art 'cuz I didn't (And still don't) have a lot of MLP reach here comparatively. But uh! I'll post 'em here. :) Mainly for my own archival and tagging purposes hahaha. A lot of this stuff is SUPER dated and hypothetically IF I touched again I'd change a loooooooot lol.

They're old and janky and sorry for the spammies in advance. <3
