Leave these woman alone ft Yuna

1400 words

Notes: Hi anon thanks for your request, since it’s sent through the request box 😊 here’s a story dedicated for you. Also I will do Yuna justice with a better fic eventually don’t worry! (Yes this is a mix of shade and partial smut i guess) Did'nt proof read this thing cause it aint worth my time. For those who wants to read for the smut you can ignore the first two and last two paragraphs they arent for u but specially for my dear requester XD

First person POV of anon:

My name is Anon. I work a standard 9-5 job and have been doing so for 30 years. I’m a single and have never dated. Everyday I get scolded by my boss but I turn a deaf ear to it , just going through the motion of my routine life. Things however get exciting once I get home. I can induldge in my deepst darkest fantasies.

You see while on the surface, I'm a white knight in shiny armor, beneath that, I'm a self-righteous hypocritical man, living a double life. I've got an entire collection dedicated to Yuna, my ultimate bias, stashed away in a folder on my laptop, hidden deep within a secret folder, safely encrypted with a password only I know. It's my little haven, my sanctuary—a place where I can indulge in my wildest fantasies, free from judgment. I mean, who doesn't have their celebrity crushes, right? But for me, it's more than just a crush. Yuna is my fantasy. She's the one who makes me question my self-control.

The room is dimly lit, perfect for what I have in mind. I pull up a recent fancam from her solo performance.. There she is, in a low-rise jeans that showcased her hourglass figure, strutting across the stage with sheer confidence. The camera zeroes in on her for a solo performance, the lucky bastards in the audience probably have no idea how fucking lucky they are. Her eyes glint with confidence, as if seducing me and sending a wave of anticipation through my body. I bite my lip, feeling my dick twitch in anticipation. It's one of those days when I crave a release, a day dedicated to worshipping her perfect body.

Yuna is everything I want and more. Her magnetic aura draws me closer to the screen as she seductively sways to the music. Every curve of her body is sculpted by the gods themselves. I zoom in, wanting to explore every inch of her, starting from her face. Her huge eyes, her full lips that always look succulent, begging for me to take them. Her skin, pale in complextion that glows under the stage lights. I'd kill to know what she smells like, if she tastes as sweet as she looks. Her long legs they begged to be worshipped.

Her hair, cascading in soft waves, frames her face, occasionally whipping her forehead as she moves, making my fingers itch to run through it, to feel its silkiness between my fingertips. Her crop top reveals just the right amount of skin and her incredibly sexy midriff. They hug her chest tightly. I imagine pinching those rosy nipples, already knowing from countless fantasies that they'd harden instantly. The thought sends a jolt of lust straight to my cock.

The camera follows her every move, and she's teasing the fans mercilessly. She bends down, the low-rise jean - hugging every inch of her toned thighs and plump ass, highlighting the perfect hour glass figure. God, her ass! It's a work of art, rounded and firm, a sight that has me gripping my cock, stroking slowly as I imagine sinking my face into that soft flesh. The way she reveals her cleavage, The way her muscles flex under those jeans makes my mouth go dry. She knows what she's doing, the little tease. Each flick of her hips is a silent invitation to something forbidden.

As the song progresses, so does my hand on my shaft. I can't stop picturing her riding me, those long, toned legs wrapped around my waist. Her abs clench and relax with each provocative move, the sight alone nearly pushing me over the edge. The sweat glistening on her skin, the way it would feel slick under my palms as I hold her hips, grinding into me, fuck, it consumes me. I want to be the reason for her sweat, for her moans.

The performance builds up, and so does my pace. My breathing quickens, mirroring her heavy pants as if we're in sync. I can imagine the lust matching my own as she moves her hair behind her back, giving me a perfect view of her slender neck and the pulse point that makes my mouth water. A collarbone looks so defined and my hands would look so fucking perfect there, pushing her down unto my cock. My cock twitches, the thought of owning this goddess in the bedroom flooding my mind. I want to see her—no, I need to see her submissive side, her begging for more, on her knees, her pretty eyes pleading for me to take control.

I can't resist the urge anymore. I pause the video at the part where she's bending forward offering an eyeful of her cleavage and a hint of her flat stomach. The image fills the screen,  letting me examine every detail. From her perfect breast that I imagine running my tongue all over, to her navel, a shallow indent, a tempting destination for my tongue. I'd work my way downward, hearing her whimpers as I trace patterns on her sensitive skin, marking her with love bites along the way until I reach her wet core. With my other hand, I reach for the lube, needing more sensation. I coat my fingers and continue imagining my tongue's path, heading south past her navel to the place she craves attention. I'd tease her, running my fingers through her wetness, finding her clit, driving her wild. And when she's close, I'd sink two fingers into her, feeling her heat, her tightness, while I suck on that perfect neck, leaving my mark. Her moans would fill the room, echoing off the walls, telling me she's mine.

But, Yuna she's a master at denying satisfaction. The clip cuts just as I can see her biting her lip, probably holding back a moan. That's when my stroking gets wilder. I jerk off fiercely, imagining her on all fours, that ass in the air, begging for my cock. In my mind, I'd stand behind her, taking in the view before delivering hard thrusts, the sound of skin slapping skin filling the room. She loves rough, I know that much. I want to spank that ass, watch it jiggle with each impact, watch her pussy squeeze my dick, milking me.

"Fuck, Yuna," I groan, my vision blurring as pleasure spikes. I see her looking over her shoulder, those eyes half-lidded, knowing she's craving it harder. In my fantasy, I'd tug her hair, making her submit, taking her like an animal. I increase the pace, my balls tightening, then I would reach my peak, exploding with sensation. I come violently, coating my hand and the screen, wishing it was her that I coated instead.

Panting, I lean back, my heart hammering in my chest as I relish the aftermath. The image of her winking at the camera as she says her farewells plays in my head, and I know I'll be back for more—she's my addiction. Cleaning up, a satisfied smile on my face, I wonder if she has any idea the effect she has on me, if she knows she just gave me the best fucking handjob ever. Little does she know, this 'nobody' behind the screen is more than willing to show her how good it could be in reality.

Maybe one day, she won't just be a fantasy, but until then, I'll keep worshipping her on my screen.

Then with this guilty pleasure, I find the need to claim her as mine and "protect" her. Going unto forums, I tell myself I have to put back on my knight in shiny armour image! Telling everyone else to leave all these woman alone especially Yuna.

To me pornography is okay, I have fapped to many of it, nor do I see the need to email all these pornographic companies on what they are doing though more damaging is wrong. Other sexual fantasies are okay, but when it comes to others fantasising about my idols, I have to be defensive since they are my life even though I would never reach them. This is me, a double standard hypocritical white knight, a nameless nobody in my life. Nonetheless, this secret is safe with me, and as long as I live, I shall continue to remain self-righteous on the outside while indulging in my secret fantasies.

Thanks for your request once again! Yes me being an internet troll, anyways not the best smut I have written I apologise. Okay fuck now I actually need to do justice by releasing a proper Yuna fic . Please send ideas for req on Yuna guys a one time offer that the best idea gets it’s fic written on her.

Do you have a timeline for Tsukihina? Like- when they realized they had crushes, the confession, timeskip, kids, etc.. I’m curious and kinda wanna add some of ur content into my TkHn hcs

Happy Thanksgiving btw (If ur American/celebrate it)

Ohhhhhh. Omg timeline?? I needed to think long and hard on this.

I think Hinata's first crush blossomed right when his eyes landed on Tsukishima honestly. He definitely saw his height, his glasses, his cool demeanor, just HIM and was like. Oh?? What are these feelings? Like he might've not known explicitly that he had a crush but he definitely dreamt about him that night AHAHAH.

When Tsukishima first thought Hinata was cute, was during the "shake my hand!" scene. Like, his expression with Hinata having his hand out like that,, that was SO cute like he was practically blushing under his pout.

I usually draw them being cute together in their first year, (see my latest art) so like by the time of their second year they would be official boyfriends. Not toooo sure about when their confession would happen, but I think... Tsukishima would be the one to ask Hinata out. (Maybe just because Hinata would be too scared to do so.) OR Hinata would say something flippant like "I wish I could kiss you" and then Kei does.

During timeskip, both of them are pro volleyball players of course. But Tsukishima has two jobs so you'd find Hinata doing the cleaning, cooking, just the housework more often. This stays true when they have kids!!! And now we're getting into purely self indulgent territory hahaha.

Obviously they would both be amazing dads. They teach them volleyball of course, and Tsukishima definitely enjoys dressing up his kids in cute clothes (especially the girl). The two boys have contrasting personalities (much like tsukiihna themselves) but I think they'd all get along. And I think the girl (middle child) would probably cling to Tsukishima more because of how tall and strong he is. (Relatively speaking, compared to Hinata of course.) Tsukishima also has such a calming presence so that's why. (Maybe the boys get rowdy sometimes.)

Dionysus in your astrology chart. Where do you receive Revelry, Pleasure and transformation?

Asteroid Dionysus, named after the Greek god of wine, ecstasy, and revelry, can influence various aspects of life depending on its placement in an astrology chart. Each house represents a different area of life, and Dionysus's placement can highlight where a person might experience themes related to pleasure, creativity, chaos, and transformation.

Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, fertility, and revelry, is a complex and fascinating figure whose mythology weaves together themes of ecstasy, chaos, and transformation. Born to Zeus, the king of the gods, and the mortal Semele, Dionysus’s birth was marked by tragedy and divine intervention. Hera, Zeus’s wife, tricked Semele into demanding Zeus reveal his true form, which incinerated her. Zeus saved the unborn Dionysus by sewing him into his thigh until he was ready to be born. This unusual birth symbolized Dionysus’s dual nature as both divine and mortal. Raised by nymphs, Dionysus grew to embody the life force and was associated with the vine, which produces wine, a substance that can both delight and destroy.

Dionysus wandered the world, spreading the art of viticulture and the ecstatic worship that accompanied it. His followers, known as Maenads or Bacchae, would enter frenzied states of ecstasy through dance, music, and intoxication, often losing themselves in the process. Dionysus’s mythology also includes themes of resistance and acceptance. For instance, King Pentheus of Thebes resisted Dionysus's influence, only to be driven mad and ultimately torn apart by his own mother in a bacchic frenzy. Conversely, Dionysus was also a god of liberation, bringing joy and divine madness that could free individuals from societal constraints. He represents the primal, untamed aspects of human nature, the potential for both creation and destruction inherent in ecstasy and revelry.

Here is an interpretation of Dionysus in each house:

1st House (Ascendant)

Influence: This placement brings a vibrant, charismatic, and magnetic personality. Individuals may have a strong desire for self-expression and indulgence. They might be seen as exciting, unpredictable, and sometimes chaotic.

2nd House

Influence: Dionysus here can indicate a love for luxury and material pleasures. There may be a tendency to spend impulsively or to find joy and meaning through possessions and sensory experiences.

3rd House

Influence: This placement can make communication lively and expressive. There might be a penchant for storytelling, social interactions, and a playful approach to learning and sharing information.

4th House (IC)

Influence: With Dionysus in the 4th house, the home and family life might be dynamic and sometimes tumultuous. There could be a strong connection to family traditions involving celebration and revelry.

5th House

Influence: This is a powerful placement for creativity, romance, and pleasure. Individuals might seek excitement and drama in love affairs and creative pursuits, enjoying a life filled with passion and artistic expression.

6th House

Influence: Dionysus in the 6th house can indicate a need to find joy in daily routines and work. There may be a struggle between maintaining order and giving in to chaos, or a desire to bring creativity and playfulness into work environments.

7th House (Descendant)

Influence: In the house of partnerships, this placement can bring dynamic and sometimes tumultuous relationships. There may be a draw towards partners who are exciting and unpredictable, with a focus on intense, transformative connections.

8th House

Influence: This placement suggests a deep connection with the themes of transformation, sexuality, and the taboo. There might be intense emotional experiences and a desire to explore the darker, more mysterious sides of life.

9th House

Influence: Dionysus in the 9th house can bring a love for adventure, travel, and philosophical exploration. Individuals might seek ecstatic experiences through expanding their horizons and embracing different cultures and beliefs.

10th House (MC)

Influence: In the career and public life house, Dionysus can indicate a public persona that is charismatic and possibly controversial. There might be a drive to achieve recognition through unconventional means and a desire to stand out.

11th House

Influence: This placement can make social circles and friendships vibrant and dynamic. Individuals might be drawn to groups and causes that celebrate freedom, creativity, and unconventional lifestyles.

12th House

Influence: Dionysus in the 12th house can indicate a deep, hidden connection to the unconscious mind, spirituality, and mysticism. There may be a tendency towards escapism, and a need to balance the desire for transcendence with grounded reality.

Summary

Asteroid Dionysus's placement in the astrological houses highlights areas of life where themes of pleasure, creativity, chaos, and transformation are prominent. Understanding this can help individuals navigate their tendencies and harness the dynamic energy of Dionysus in a constructive way.

Have not celebrated Christmas in 4-5 years but I'm still gonna draw self indulgent art of my hyperfixation in a holiday theme Anyways realistically does Faroe ever come back? probably not. Does John get a human body? Also pretty unlikely (in my eyes at least) But it's christmas, Charlie Brown! And if I wanna draw Faroe and her dad and her 3 uncles singing carols I can and will

(This is a WIP! btw!!! If anyone has any ideas for tree ornaments lemme know! Gonna do a ton of easter eggs :})

[on-a-lucky-tide]

Rawr I absolutely LOVE the fact that we have the same taste in men. Nik is absolutely my perfect man as well, I mean that body type ? Come ooooon. Glad you liked this art of him, this was 100% self-indulgent 👀​<3

Please keep making the self indulgent pieces because damn I am also indulged. Powerlifters have the physique I find most attractive; big arms, big shoulders, strong as fuck thighs, a solid core beneath a delicious layer of fat that I can, uh... cuddle, yeah. Body hair all over. Hrgg. Feral for it.

I know a lot of men who are extremely self conscious, so I sometimes go a little over the top with expressing my attraction. Gay spaces are riddled with fat-shaming and body dysmorphia. Grindr can be an endless sea of the exact same body fat %, pose, haircut... Bleak.

So, like, yes, write, draw and celebrate more men that look like your Nik. They're fuckin' stunning.

[splendidsneb]

Time for more obsessive self indulgent art.

Let’s celebrate our love for #mylaurie together! #マイロリ #마이로리

VashWood Week Day 4-Flowers

This piece is based around the idea of the beauty and naturality of trans bodies! The flowers here are being used not to censor but instead draw attention to the aspects of our bodies that we are taught are shameful. Rather than hide the true nature of our bodies we should celebrate them!-in art, in life, in everything!

The flower theming works together with them being animals here (because it’s self indulgent <3 ) to highlight the concept of what "natural" means. Since they’re in the natural state of nudeness, but also are in touch with aspects of nature themselves!

ALT version of the line art:

I also think I really popped off with my composition here! Anyway, erotic queer furry art will save the world. <3

[rabbitprintart]

okay I need to get this outta my system because realistically I won't be able to draw this in a while but at least wanna write down my head cannons and au AND I'M DRIVING MYSELF INSANE EVERY NIGHT!!!

Anyways, I've been meaning to make/explore an au where Trigun takes place in my motherland of Tierra Caliente, yes I know it's incredibly self indulgent, but where I live, questions of climate change and agriculture are constant within the community, it's a weeeee bit lawless, and I can see so many opportunities of weaving those ideas together with those of the original Trigun series. I just think the reason Trigun speaks to so many of us Mexicans is for the same reason we have an insane clown culture, or the "laugh now, cry later" attitude. I have never seen 2 anime/characters that embody the Mexican spirit and struggle like fucking Vash the Stampede and Nicholas Wolfwood (if you ignore the DragobBall IP lol). So far the ideas that I have are:

Vash and Knives, and all the plant aliens, are representations of ancestral Mesoamerican culture of having intricate stories about twins, duality, and nature. Really wanna dig into the idea of Vash being some kind off shoot of Quetzalcoatl and Knives of Tezcatlipoca, probably even paint Knives in a more charismatic light because tbh my man has some points and I don't blame him lol. Knives does remind me a lot of the cynical Mexican who has been wronged so much in his life that he can not understand a world that isn't evil therefore sees the only solution the destruction of all, just pure nihilism. It's unfortunately more common than you think, especially in men :{

Really weave in Mesoamerican thought, art, and philosophy with Mexican Catholicism. It will be more obvious through Wolfwood, and it makes a lot of sense in my mind since a lot of Rancho people unknowingly hold onto our native thoughts and customs without realizing, even if it has been repackaged through Catholicism (ex: Dia de los Muertos)

Commentary on the insane chokehold the idea of Family as the supreme value in Mexican people through Knives

Ranchero Wolfwood, El Dark (Darks means Goth in Mexican Spanish slang lol) Vash

OKAY NOW FOR THE ONE THAT ABSOLUTELY IS KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plants are seen as saints by the average Mexican even if the majority don't know about the plant angels inside, so much so that they are constantly offered milagros and have town celebrations for them, but they all have been slowly exploited and killed by the humans who were meant to protect them due to greed. Vash has a collection of the milagros he has salvaged from all his sister's graves and he ties them into his coat. Knives also does this, but they both do it for different motives, Knives mainly does this is as a reminder for his hatred of humanity, Vash mainly for his love for his people and endearment towards humans for thinking well of them, a reminder that he is not much of a monster as he has been made to believe. I literally made myself so emotional last night because I imagined Wolfwood making a milagro shaped in the Passionate Heart of Christ and offers it to Vash right before he dies LIKE SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!!! SHUT UP ME!!!!!! ME VOY A MATAR !!!!! AAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

In conclusion : Nightow, you are more Mexican than you think, I'm giving you the beaner pass

*cultural context for the non-Mexicans: Milagros are these tiny, usually silver, metal charms that are sown into the velvet of Mexican Catholic statues/icons as a sign of gratitude, a commitment of lifetime devotion, and appreciation for the idol for helping the individual make their prayer come true. Basically, people go to a saint, angel, etc., pray for them to help them (Most common prayers are to physically heal wounds, help with addictions, grief, have children, etc), and if the prayer is answered (the person is healed, they get their dream partner, have kids, etc), then the figure will be offered a Milagro that takes shape of the miracle (a healed leg, breasts for breast cancer, eyes, hearts, etc) and the devotee will sow it into the idol's clothes or their altar as an affirmation of their power and existence.

astro notes: daily transits 8/31

Saturday is a relatively calm day in the astrological landscape, with minimal planetary activity. The Leo Moon takes center stage, encouraging a playful, creative, and spontaneous energy. However, the calm of today is juxtaposed against the anticipation of significant astrological shifts occurring tomorrow, setting the stage for a transformative period ahead. The subtle influences today serve as a prelude to the major events about to unfold, providing a moment of ease before the cosmos intensifies.

Key Influences

Leo Moon:Playful and Creative Energy: The Moon’s journey through Leo brings a light-hearted, creative energy to the day. Leo, ruled by the Sun, is a sign associated with self-expression, joy, and the celebration of life. With no major aspects distracting her, the Leo Moon is free to indulge in her natural inclinations, much like a child joyfully playing without a care in the world. This energy encourages us to embrace the present moment, to engage in activities that bring us joy and allow us to express our true selves. Whether it’s through creative pursuits, social interactions, or simply enjoying life’s pleasures, the Leo Moon invites us to shine brightly and embrace our inner child.

Anticipation of Tomorrow's Events:

Uranus Stations Retrograde at 27°15' Taurus: Revolutionary Reassessment: Uranus, the planet of revolution, innovation, and sudden change, stations retrograde tomorrow, marking the beginning of a period of introspection and reassessment. Uranus retrograde in Taurus asks us to reconsider the changes we’ve been experiencing in areas related to stability, values, and material security. This is a time to review how we’ve been adapting to the unexpected shifts in our lives and to explore new ways of creating stability that align with our evolving values. The retrograde motion suggests that the focus may shift inward, encouraging us to break free from outdated patterns and embrace new, innovative approaches to securing our future.

Pluto Re-enters Capricorn: Catalytic Transformation: Pluto’s re-entry into Capricorn signals the continuation of deep, transformative processes in areas related to power structures, authority, and societal foundations. Pluto, the planet of transformation, death, and rebirth, has been working through Capricorn since 2008, bringing significant changes to the way we understand and interact with authority, power, and the structures that govern our lives. As Pluto re-enters Capricorn, we may find ourselves revisiting themes of transformation that have been ongoing, particularly in relation to career, government, and societal systems. This transit encourages us to continue the work of dismantling outdated structures and rebuilding them in a way that better serves our evolving collective consciousness.

Moon–Jupiter Sextile (11:09 p.m.): Hopeful Anticipation: As the day draws to a close, a subtle but uplifting sextile between the Leo Moon and Jupiter in Taurus perfects. This aspect brings a sense of optimism, expansion, and hope, adding to the anticipation of tomorrow’s significant astrological events. Jupiter, the planet of growth, abundance, and wisdom, enhances the Leo Moon’s playful energy, encouraging us to approach the future with a positive outlook. This is a time to dream big, to believe in the possibilities that lie ahead, and to trust that the changes on the horizon will ultimately lead to growth and expansion. The Moon–Jupiter sextile supports a sense of emotional well-being and encourages us to embrace the coming shifts with confidence and optimism.

Integrating the Influences

Embracing the Present Moment: Leo Moon’s Creative Play: The Leo Moon’s energy is all about living in the moment, expressing joy, and indulging in creative pursuits. With no major aspects to divert her attention, today is an excellent day to focus on activities that bring you joy and allow you to express yourself fully. Whether it’s through art, music, socializing, or simply enjoying the pleasures of life, the Leo Moon invites you to be playful and spontaneous. Embrace your inner child, take time to enjoy the present moment, and let your creativity flow without inhibition.

Preparing for Transformation: Anticipating Uranus and Pluto’s Shifts: While today may feel light and easy, the anticipation of tomorrow’s astrological events is palpable. Uranus stationing retrograde and Pluto re-entering Capricorn signal significant shifts that will require us to engage in deep introspection and transformation. Use today’s calm to mentally and emotionally prepare for these changes. Reflect on how you’ve been adapting to recent shifts, particularly in areas related to stability, values, and power structures. Consider where you might need to reassess your approach or let go of outdated patterns to embrace new ways of living and being. This is a time to prepare for the deep work of transformation that lies ahead.

Cultivating Optimism: Moon–Jupiter Sextile’s Hopeful Energy: The day ends on a hopeful note with the Moon–Jupiter sextile, encouraging a positive outlook as we move into a period of significant change. This aspect supports emotional well-being and optimism, helping to counterbalance any anxieties about the future. Embrace this energy by focusing on the possibilities that lie ahead and trusting that the coming changes will ultimately lead to growth and expansion. Use this time to set positive intentions for the future, believing in your ability to navigate the shifts with grace and confidence.

The Smosh Pony Celebration Post!🎉

I’m going to supply the Smosh pony art I made in middle school , more art of the “Smosh in Equin” mock au, and Smosh pony designs based on Ian and Anthony’s current appearances! My two hyper fixations merged into an abomination of god!💕 This post is a long one so I hope you all enjoy!

I’ve noticed that some of you guys aren’t familiar with Mlp lore I don’t blame you I’ll supply some terminology and definitions so we’re all on the same page. I’ll be focusing on the lore of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic which I’ll be shortening to MLPFIM for simplicity sake. I’ll only go over really basic lore so you don’t need to watch the show to understand this post.

Cutie Mark - that weird symbol on a pony’s ass. They signify that pony’s ‘special talent’ or a symbol that represents their identity. These special talents are usually an activity that comes natural to its owners. Some can get rather abstract in meaning and design while others might be obvious. For example, a pony good at drawing might have a pencil and paper as a cutie mark. This gets very existential the more you think about it

Equestria - the central setting of MLPFIM ruled by two princesses. It’s home to ponies, dragons, and a multitude of fantasy creatures.

Pony - Ponies exist as three main types; Earth Ponies (normal horse), Pegasus (horse with wings), and Unicorns (wizard horse).

Pegasus (lore) - Pegasi can fly and move/stand on clouds. They usually work in controlling the weather. The weather is weirdly manual in the MLPFIM universe I’m not getting into it

Unicorns - Horses with a horn that allow them to use magic! Mostly telekinesis unless the pony is has raw magical talent (ie. Twilight Sparkle).

Earth Ponies - Normal horses but agricultural makes bank so they aren’t complaining.

Alicorns - All three horse types in one er a Pegasus with a horn.

(Made in 2012)

I originally made a cringey Smosh pony ‘series’ in middle school. All your favorite characters are here! Looking back, this entire concept was just really self indulgent. I shipped myself with Anthony (gurl wtf you’re 12??? Of course she’s an alicorn too lol) and some of these characters. As embarrassing as this is, I remember getting my friends involved, and we all would bounce ideas off each other about plot and lore. Just a bunch of preteen artists meshing what they love in one big project.

That being said if my preteen horse sona did meet Ian and Anthony it would probably be like this:

Cynicism aside I decided to draw the old designs of Ian and Anthony for old times sake.

I have no clue why they’re wearing hoodies like an eddsworld character or why Anthony has the Smosh symbol as a cutie mark but Ian doesn’t.

Fast forward to fuckin last year I got the idea for the April Fools Smosh horse thing and my brain just ran with it. This entire 'au' is one big satire of my middle school concept.

Terms like ‘cutie mark’ and ‘Equestria’ are replaced with ‘soul brand’ and ‘Equin’ since it doesn’t actually take place in the MLP universe.

Minor spoilers: Sketch ver. Ian and Anthony fuckin die and are reincarnated as horses forgetting their past lives. They grew up and live as social outcasts unable to use magic/fly properly because they literally don’t belong there and the universe is actively rejecting them. They fight forces that look like biblically accurate angels because they’re celestial bodies trying to remove them from the universe (Ian and Anthony are only fighting them because they think the big wheels with eyes are keeping them there but it’s actually something else).

With that being said, art time!

That got me thinking about what Ian and Anthony would look like if they were in the mlp universe. Of course my brain took this concept and ran with it. I’d like to share what I came up with!

Stellar Prism (Anthony) and Golden Horizon (Ian)

• They got their cutie marks together at the same time as kids.

• Gold’s talent is radiating sun energy that makes everyone in a 10ft radius happy. He literally glows when he’s happy.

• Prism can focus on someone’s talent and magnify the magic energy from them. I used Anthony’s quote of being a magnifying glass as a jumping off point.

• They preform comedy shows together akin to a manzai routine where Prism is the straight man and Gold is the funny man. They’d travel Equestria preforming together.

• Just like real life, Prism split from Gold because he felt like he didn’t know who he was without Gold. His talent is showing other people’s potential but he wanted to discover his own. While split, Prism studied more “unpopular” forms of magic to rediscover himself. He basically went through the abyss but came out on the other side self content. His ‘tattoos’ are side effects from these magic experiments.

• During the split, Gold met other aspiring comedians (other Smosh members) and they all formed into a comedy troupe.

• When Gold reunited with Prism, he was so happy that he accidentally flashbanged Prism.

• Prism calls Gold “Duck” because he looks like a rubber duck.

• Gold is a pretty fast flyer. He can out-fly most members of the troupe.

That's all from me! Thank you guys again for 100 followers! I've never really used Tumblr and I'm very late to the game. I'm still thankful for all the support I received! <3

Don't come cryin to me if this post got you to draw horses lol

╰┈➤Hwei's connection to the Surrealism and Impressionism art era

In the article "CHAMPION INSIGHTS: HWEI" it says the following: “There’s more than meets the eye for someone like him,” adds Lonewingy. “You don’t know that there are beautiful things happening in his mind and how he sees reality. That's impressionism. And how he combines fiction and reality, like realistic experience and also imagination—that's surrealism.”

I found that very interesting. I thought about it more and realized that there are many parallels in Hwei's design and personality to the art era of Impressionism and Surrealism.

Hwei embodies elements of both Surrealism and Impressionism in his design and personality. The article mentions that Hwei combines fiction and reality, similar to the artistic movement of Surrealism. Surrealism sought to explore the realm of the unconscious mind and merge dreamlike elements with reality, which aligns with Hwei's ability to manifest his imaginative visions through his paintings.

Furthermore, Hwei's artistry and expressive style are reminiscent of Impressionism. Impressionism focused on capturing fleeting moments and the play of light and color, which is reflected in Hwei's dynamic. The article describes Hwei's power as being fueled by his own artistic expression, drawing a parallel to Impressionist artists who aimed to convey their subjective impressions and emotions through their artwork.

Hwei's art serves as a means for him to navigate his deep sorrow and inner turmoil. The article also describes him as a character who has experienced major loss but has emerged as an artist, not as a cynic or avenger. Impressionism, with its emphasis on capturing emotions and subjective experiences, provides a fitting artistic style for Hwei to express and process his complex feelings.

Surrealism aimed to tap into the subconscious mind and explore the depths of human emotions, while Impressionism celebrated the artist's individual interpretation of the world.

I believe the creators of Hwei's character drew conscious inspiration from the Surrealist and Impressionist art movements. It is my strong conviction that Hwei's artistic style bears resemblances to both Surrealism and Impressionism.

During his time in the temple, I anticipate that his art might reflect an Impressionist aesthetic, in accordance with the expectations of the temple masters. Hwei's paintings may bear similarities to the works of renowned artists such as Auguste Renoir and Claude Monet. Subsequently, after leaving the temple, it is likely that Hwei explored the realm of Surrealism in his art, as opposed to continuing with Impressionism. Surrealism, being markedly distinct from "traditional" art, likely provoked displeasure among the temple masters of that era. Furthermore, it is plausible that Hwei also has an affinity for Impressionist-style painting. If we delve into the historical context, we find that Impressionism emerged as a counter-movement to the prevailing "traditional" art of its time.

Hwei's lore alludes to his inability to freely express his own artistic vision. The temple masters consistently restrained him, emphasizing the need to conform to academic rules and limiting his self-expression in art.

In Surrealism, the night motif is often associated with mysterious and dreamlike imagery. Again: Surrealist artists sought to explore the realm of the unconscious mind and tap into the depths of imagination, and the night served as a symbolic backdrop for these explorations. It is during the night that the boundaries between reality and the fantastical blur, allowing for the manifestation of strange and unexpected visions.

During his time at the temple on Koyehn, Hwei secretly indulged in his true passion for painting. Fascinated by his intense imagination and fearful of his own power, Hwei would retreat to the solitude of the night to express his emotions and explore the depths of his creativity. It is in these clandestine moments that he would create his artworks, which likely took on a surrealistic style.

Surrealistic paintings often feature juxtapositions of seemingly unrelated objects, dreamlike landscapes, and distorted or fantastical figures. Hwei's secret nighttime creations may have embodied these elements, as he sought to merge fiction and reality, infusing his art with his deep emotions and personal experiences. Through surrealist techniques, Hwei could convey the complexity of his inner world and communicate his unique perspective on reality.

Hwei, with his brooding nature and intense artistic drive, embodies the essence of a surrealist artist.

I rather think that Hwei tended to paint Surrealist paintings after the massacre in the temple. The Surrealists, in our real world, were against rigid norms and habits, against logic and pragmatism - just like Hwei. They demanded that the unconscious, the repressed, such as dreams, intoxication, desires and visions, should no longer be ignored. People should free themselves from taboos. The Surrealists identified with a new, higher reality: surreality. The artists of Surrealism aimed to create a higher reality, the "supra-real", and to expand people's consciousness.

I see a lot of Hwei's views in this!

Hwei's exploration of Surrealism following his departure from the temple evoked parallels to the genesis of the Surrealism movement. This artistic movement was significantly shaped by the impact of war, which not only influenced its development but also fueled a profound fascination among Surrealists with mental illness and its intricate ties to creativity. It is striking to witness how Hwei harnesses his own traumatic encounters, employing art as a means to provide solace and healing to fellow survivors in Koyehn.

The horrors of war have indeed been a major influence on Surrealism artists, as they grappled with the traumatic experiences and sought to explore the connection between mental illness and creativity - similar to Hwei.
