WIP: Sidona This Day Aria AU

[ID: a sketch showing an impostor Sidon prepping for his wedding and the real Sidon in the waterworks underneath East Reservoir lake.

this is meant to emulate the song from MLP:Fim, this day Aria. End of ID]

This day is going to be perfect,

The kind of day a Zora would dream of as a fry,

Every guest in Hyrule,

Will think we’re just too cool!

But what they don’t know is that I want a special guest to die!

in this AU, the Yiga clan send out an assassin to kill Link in a dramatic way, namely by disguising himself as Prince Sidon, and trapping him under the East Reservoir Lake, and sending Link (the best man) there as well, and brainwashing Yona as well as Zelda, Yunobo, Tulin, Riju, Purah, and even Hestu to avoid getting caught.

A Canterlot Wedding type AU from mlp HLEP

i really loved This Day Aria bro also this was based on a tweet i saw

Princess Candance is the mc and like Queen Chrysalis is my persona bc i thought it was funny and also i love sticking her in everything bc im just like those self insert people who insert themselves everywhere bc im crazy or smth idk lmaoo

also quartz can switch to mc form and you can tell by the shape of the eyes lmao

some other doodles

also this is what hypnotized azul looks like in this au (he’s shining armor bc yeah bro idk im feeding azul lovers):

i thought it was fun even though i think it would fit more with Jamil and Kalim but i already had designs made up 😭😭

ALSO MC IS NOT WEARING A HIJAB I didn’t really draw the mc with one in mind but i didn’t want to people to mistake it since I drew it more of like a head scarf im really sorry

i needed something to cover them since their design doesn’t show a proper face.

It’s a reallt silly au with no ideas and yeah i didn’t put much effort on azul bc this is mc and my persona’s moment HEFP

[scarapanna]

I finished cooking something...And that something is mlp screenshot edits!!

Decided to use my mlp au designs for these two (with some tweaked details to better fit the mlp art style), it took much longer than expected and some heavy background cropping in the second one sncnxnvn

Here are the OGs from "A canterlot wedding-part 2"! I think celestia's base would fit better for PV, but considering Cadance's role in the episode I decided to go with her for this one!!

I plan on doing more when I get my hands on some lovely screenshots again, this was super fun to do!!/silly

An AU where Twilight Sparkle has been a changeling this entire time. Her parents after having their first child, Shining Armor, are seemingly unable to conceive another child. They'd had no luck trying to conceive Another child themselves, so they started considering adoption. That was quickly decided on when they found an abandoned changeling grub/baby on their doorstep one night. Shining Armor was excited to have a sister, and the parents couldn't say no to him and to this young changeling. The family do extensive research on changelings, they have to keep their new grub Twilight Sparkle safe and healthy right?

Optional additions-

Shining Armor helped Twilight create her pony form by showing the younger toddler her drawings.

Twilight Sparkle does know she's a changeling. What she doesn't know is that she is a royal changeling. One of Chrysalis's hive finding the grub in the newest hatchlings and knowing what their Queen would do tries to find a family that would keep the child safe and alive.

Cadence knows since she was trusted enough to babysit Twilight during childhood.

Canterlot wedding goes very differently for multiple reasons. Shining Armor isn't as easily hypnotized by changeling magic do to being exposed to it throughout his childhood. He sees through Chrysalis's pretty easily. So he's the one to end up down in the Crystal caves instead of Cadence.

I do not know enough about my little pony to confirm nor deny this

In search of safety

I haven't gotten around to writing the royalty update on my last lore bit, but I wanted to start on where my oc comes into play. Not entirely self-insert, this AU has storytelling background based in very old role playing from upwards of 10 years ago.

Here are some notes on how this pairing came to be:

This AU takes place after an alternate ending to the Canterlot Wedding (not my writing, the original rp was not something I had any say in at the time. The following is based off very old Tenebris Dawn forum posts) -Cadance and Shining Armor did not stay together after Queen Chrysalis's takeover. Shining failed to rise to the occasion in her defeat and was quickly denied at the altar. Cadance was disappointed in how things played out, and sought out solitude after the traumatic experience. Shining Armor left to stay with Twilight after these events.

-Twilight was tired of Shining's depressed freeloading and pushed him to socialize around ponyville and find some friends. Word had gotten around as to why he was here, and it quickly turned away a lot of potential companions. He did find his place with Big Mac, Spike and Discord after awhile.

-Feather Blade originated in the Everfree forest. (her lore has changed to match her form as a pegasus but this was all written in 2014) She was (possibly) left at Zecora's hut as a newborn and grew up learning the ways of the forest from a very young age. Made friendly with the timber wolves, understands many basic to advanced survival skills, and gained a well fitted immune system for life in the woods.

-Being somepony detached from petty pony drama, Feather was completely unaware of Shining's late status and relationship history. He was enamored by her lifestyle, being someone who grew up in a more upper class environment. They bonded after many of his attempts to flatter her, and eventually he took to staying in her hut more often than staying with Twilight.

-Feather didn't initially have a proper understanding of romance, but she knew what emotional abuse was. (was held captive as a slave "lover" by a stallion with a darkened heart, also directly based off 2014 rps) Whatever Shining was, he wasn't a threat or a burden. She didn't understand what she felt for him until after a widespread infection broke loose. She's been working hard to keep him safe ever since.

-Shining has done his best to keep Feather protected, but hasn't had much strength since getting bitten by some strange creature. Feather was able to collect some supplies to keep them both healthy shortly before the hut was overrun. She keeps him medicated, and no infection has taken root. They're both currently on the move to find shelter and refuge in a safer area of Equestria.

-Feather and Shining have only briefly made contact with Discord prior to him taking off with Fluttershy. Nopony else knows their whereabouts. The two of them have avoided most populated areas in trying to steer clear of infected. Feather has been able to take sky watch for short periods of time to see if areas of civilization are safe, but quickly returns to stay with Shining. So far their travels have yielded no reward, but hope is not lost.

Alright, It's finally time for Twilight's B.B.B.F.F! I didn't change his design too much, mostly just added a beard, grey'd his coat and styled his hair. I did add a few healed scars, he's the captain of the Canterlot Royal Guard, of course he's going to have a few.

Drew some family pics for my mlp au, made Logan part of the Sparkle family, for fun and whimsy, and also cuz I want the Canterlot Wedding in the au

Comms Ko-fi

[lime1991]

My mlp human au Twilight is probably so jealous of Shining Armor. Your high tier political brother has a nice (religious) wedding ceremony with Celestia’s niece and then he and his wife have a child and your parents are so proud of him instead of thinking of him as a disappointment. And you thought you found love once but now you’re in your 20s with a child almost half your own age living in Hicksville because you got kicked out of your school back in Canterlot.

[halfhissandwich]

yes this au is stabbing me in the heart again, why do you ask?

Mhn there was some interesting implications there. Low key I sometimes just went "Actually she's as old as them she's just short" XD But yeah usually went with younger, if still old given Celestia addresses her as Mare & Shining as Colt.

Usually born as a consequence of the battle with Nightmare Moon but sometimes other ways. & in one or two cases deliberately engineered.

Also gosh so true, I recall this one fic that had like multiple alternate ends to Canterlor Wedding but one of my favorites basically has the cast. In a very casual and jokey way, outline that Chrysalis by the standards of Bridezilla's was not even that bad. So none of them really keyed into her behavior being off.

tbh I assumed off-the-bat that Cadence was a lot younger than Tia and Luna due to the fact of like. She's known Twilights family for many years and it would make her relationship with Shining very :/ if she was an ancient goddess who had known him since he was a teenager.

within my AU I have a whole thing of there being other Immortal God-like beings. Tia, Luna, Discord and Chrysalis are the ones still known to be walking the mortal plane.

Others had children, and their lineage makes up the Royals we see like Cadence and Blueblood.

re: canterlot wedding in particular I did do a rewrite of it a while back. My main changes were just elaborating on the confusion re: Cadence v Mi Amore Cadenza.

Like the rest of the Mane 6 were under the impression that Twilight didn't know the bride because she made a big deal of 'how dare my brother get married to a stranger!' the whole train ride up there. So they think her ranting is just about how 'Cadence is the Worst™' out of protectiveness, and yeah her bridezilla antics aren't that bad they've dealt with worse.

But then they're given the context of 'Twilight has known Cadence for years, and she's acting totally out of character even accounting for high-stress'. So they believe that something's up. They encoruage trying to talk to Cadence before going 'ah yes she must've changed or been faking being nice all these years.'. Then Twi comes back with the 'oh shit she's brainwashing him holy SHIT' info and they believe her because they've seen enough weird shit.

Shining is unhelpful when confronted thanks to the aformetioned brainwashing, but Celestia is more willing to listen because. Ya know. She knows Twilight and Shining and Cadence and none of them are acting like they should right now. She agrees with Twilight that it's odd and that she'll investigate some. Unfortunately because it's Chrysalis and not a random Changeling, the fake slips through Celestia's tests. Plus between the discussion and the tests, Twilight's been yeeted into the catacombs and the fake Cadence is like 'oh she apologized and we agreed to do some bonding after the wedding!'.

[piosplayhouse]

I actually never watched the canterlot wedding episodes because I didn't like fim that much as a kid but listening to This Day Aria erm... Has anyone contemplated a bingqiu au where bingqiu are Princess Cadence and Shining Armor and Queen Chrysalis (the evil alicorn using scary green magic) is either Shen Jiu or Bingge..

🌸Cosmos🌸 -symbolizes order, peace, modesty and harmony (I'm sorry for this (^人^) but not really )

Iron Heart (Tony) and Webspinner (Peter) joining the mane six making them instead the mane eight as the elements of Protection and Compassion

Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of… honesty! Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of… kindness! Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of… laughter! Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of… generosity! And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire represents the spirit of… loyalty! Iron Heart, who put himself in-between us and danger represents the spirit of… protection! Webspinner who helped keep us calm and safe as we travelled the forest represents the spirit of… compassion!

The spirits of these seven ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us

You still don't have the sixth Element! The spark didn't work! But it did! A different kind of spark. I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that you all... are my friends! You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the... the spark that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the eighth element: the element of... magic!

Pony Tony and Peter made here while their cutie marks were added later. Full pics alongside rambles below

I don't think much would change early in the show and haven't really thought this au through season by season. So other than extra episodes devoted the pining between these two and others trying desperately to get them together it could in any direction. What I have definitely thought of though is that Canterlot Wedding would change significantly as the gang would realize something is wrong with Cadence. Because as soon as Twilight tells them she's the Alicorn of love and they see Crysalis as Cadence doing nothing to get these two idiots together the mane 6 would immediately be on guard. It would be unfathomable to them she wouldn't start locking the two in closets together and other such antics if she really was the Alicorn of love. And so those episodes would certainly change as maybe even Celestia was eagerly anticipating Cadence sorting the two out and finds it odd (She would have read all about the pair's pining from Twilights letters they were practically her favourite soap opera at that point)

If anybody has any other ideas for story changes please tell me them

Iron Heart (Tony) would have gotten his cutie mark when the sonic rainboom shone through the window behind him and showed him gave him where the coding errors in his first magic based ai (DUM-E) were. I imagine Tony would focus on building things that help others straight up as there doesn't really seem a need in Equestria for weapons and that here the arc reactor is a magical storage device that allows for Earth and Pegasus ponies to 'cast' magic or use magic powered tools that work like spells do for Unicorns. He would I like to think also be a favoured source of guard armour for Celestia due to his skill so he could also act as a guide for Twilight around Ponyville due to the two of them maybe already having met and being sort of friends. This allows him to help her to get settled in the early episodes. Such as advising Twilight to act as the organiser in Winter Wrap-Up from the start. The reason he lives in such a small town as opposed to Canterlot or Manehatten has absolutely no relation to his crush Peter and is only because he likes the nature of the town, honest.

Webspinner (Peter) gained his from helping some of his childhood (colthood sorry couldn't resist) friends from falling by catching them by making a cloud that stops them falling. Not extra ordinary on its own but considering they weren't Pegasus ponies it was extremely unique and shows his talent at cloud making as well as his core being about looking after others. This would relate to the rainboom as the rainboom would have been what shocked the other ponies and caused them to fall while also illuminating the perfect cloud for Peter to use his pegesus magic to altee the clouds structures. I kinda imagined Peter's role in Ponyville would be similar to how he acts in the mcu and other timeline, helping ponies out who need help and stopping others from harming anypony, but on a more official level. A possible episode he could have a major part in changing is Lesson Zero maybe by realising early on what's going on with Twilight and manages to get her to deal with the problem before casting an unsafe spell on other ponies.
