#discorded cmcs

[sweetestofbelles]

TELL US ABOUT YOUR DISCORDED CRUSADERS.

/ Okay, okay. So, for starters? Apple Bloom's the big shot leader/Bully. She has major anger issues and will snap at non-CMC fillies or colts. Any family members or any friends she's got, she'll be cool with.

AB is severely protective of Sweetie and Scootaloo because they're not as outgoing as her when Discorded. Girl will take your lunch money.

Scootaloo is always anxious, she scares easy. Her only friends are Apple Bloom and Sweetie.

Apple Bloom will often have Sweetie sing to her or play calming music or rain noises to relax her; it always works.

Her scooter is sadly rusted, so it's no longer useful.

Sweetie Belle struggles with emotion externally. But interally? She worries about Rarity and her greed. She only ever really smiles when around the other CMCs, though it is rare.

SWEETIE BITES STRANGERS.

She does know how to use magic, and will use it against anyone that tries to hurt the other two Crusaders.

Despite being Discorded, they stick together no matter what. They're a pretty tight-knit group, which contrasts heavily to what's happened to their sisters respectively.

The updated, full cast roster of The Grand Galloping 20s, an MLP AU project reimagining the characters and world in a 1920s American setting. Character designs by @tulliok, @maplewozapi, and I.

More to come!

The final drawing from my most recent Picarto stream. The theme that evening was Dungeons and Dragons. This was a request for Discord trying to DM a game with the CMC. The Lord Chaos appears to discovered an even more chaotic force than him. 

This Saturday 12/23/23 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I'll be streaming again on Picarto. This will be my final stream of 2023.

[windywhistler]

I have not posted in a long time, so as an apology, have these sketches from my own take on the MLP infection AUs that are going around! The concept isn’t fully fleshed out, but I’m very happy with the direction it’s taking! :)

These three (Twi, Pinkie, and Trixie) were initial tests at drawing MLP horror, and everything else is related to my AU in which Starlight’s spell to remove cutie marks backfires and turns into a horrid virus that turns a pony’s body into a physical manifestation of their cutie mark’s meaning.

I’ve got some writing done for it, and it’s still in planning stages. Perhaps I’ll post more art or a comic when I’ve got everything planned out a bit more thoroughly ^^

[wetsocks33]

The CMC!! (Discorded AU)

They “gained” cutie marks from Discord for helping free him- as a “Thank you”

Small Snibits:

Apple Bloom

Victim to: Applejack

Apple Bloom really wants everything to be okay. But it isn’t, can’t really be when your entire family is kinda hypnotized and you have to do all the work on a farm where you can’t really eat the food because it’s probably cursed to help the surviving ponies while your sister takes all the credit.

So yeah. Not okay.

Scootaloo:

Victim To: Fluttershy

Shes very confident. Maybe. She’s trying her best to get things back to normal but yk-

You may be thinking. “Why not Rainbow Dash?” Well i thought it would make way more sense with fluttershy, especially with her cruelty being a basically worse Diamond Tiara- also Rainbow Dash wouldn’t care enough-

Sweetie Belle:

Victim To: Rarity

A lot of her story is explained in Rarity’s part, but i am keeping the horn thing, it’s a nice climax to the story. She’s just as much of a crybaby, but also brave against her sister when needed.

[askthediscordedcrusaders]

I'll be honest. . .

/ I don't know what else to do in this story. My plans for it are pretty much complete, I didn't exactly plan a happy ending for the story.

So, given the happy ending happened? I'm going to spoil what the bad ending was going to essentially be.

If the bad ending were to take route, a few of the mane six would've drifted apart again with Rainbow and AJ dying.

The crusaders would grow up Discorded, Sweetie taking over not just Equestria but the Crystal Empire too.

Sombra would be her loyal servant for life, Sweetie ruling in his place on the throne instead. Rarity and AJ never get married in this route. They don't expect a child cause AJ is, well, dead.

Screwball and Sweetie never become friends.

Rarity becomes bitter in this.

Fluttershy and Discord get married, ultimately isolating themselves from the others.

Sweetie even traps Scootaloo in a dungeon because "she belongs to her".

A lot of bad stuff.

[chimchiri]

It's been a hot minute since I finished a fully rendered pic but man was this fun!

We're trying out monthly art challenges on the Discord server and for February it's obviously Love/Hearts and Hooves Day. I may be late for actual Valentine's Day but it's still February so it counts.

I adore the Hearts and Hooves Day episode with the CMC and wanted to include them. Scootaloo dearly wants to be Rainbow's wingwoman (without poor Rainbow's knowledge). The setting it supposed to be the CMCs (mainly Scootaloo) faking a cheesy love letter and organizing a meetup between Spitfire and Rainbow. Sweetie Belle is all in for it and thinks they are just too adorable. Applebloom is probably the only one still remembering what a disaster their first time messing with couples and matchmaking was.

And Spitfire is just a bit disappointed it's not a real love letter she received.

[changedraptor76]

Mmmmm lol

[sweetestofbelles]

Can we know more about the discorded Crusaders?

/ Okay, so-

Scootaloo is the weakest of the girls. She lives in the CMC's clubhouse. She's an orphan.

Apple Bloom is the strongest. She's not afraid to make fun of others if she feels it'll make her feel bigger. Her and Applejack are not close; Applejack neglects her.

Sweetie is a great at magic. She's emotionless externally. Rarity showers her with love despite being a selfish/greedy pony.

A happy 2024 to our readers + [now closed] recruiting new cleaner(s)!!!

Hello GSNK fandom! We hope you've had a safe end to 2023 and that the new year brings you lots of joy/success/GSNK/tanuki (loljk) \o/ we thank you once again for keeping us company and supporting our releases! Apologies for our random delays and our limited time for answering messages in recent months, but we still appreciate all your comments and whatnot c:

Now for business -- CMC's cleaning team has been stressed for time recently due to increasingly busy schedules, so we've decided to advertise for more cleaners/redrawers to join the squad! We're hoping to cut down our backlog and give some breathing space to the team.

Experience is appreciated but not essential, we just need you to show some examples of you being a decent redrawer (and/or we might ask you to clean a page as a test)

We’ll need you on discord (that’s where CMC gathers together to discuss everything)

Be fairly available (enough so you can at least rotate around) since cleaning takes priority whenever new material comes out -- but please don’t prioritise us over your irl stuff! School/work/your other needs are always more important o7

If you’re interested, then please message @cashmoneychiyo​ or me @grolia​ off anon so I can privately reply to you! Or you can use the chat function to talk to me if you're able to (that may be the easier option actually, but it's up to you) o7 If you're not a tumblr user you can still message us on anon, just also include your discord username so we can contact you if we'd like to chat. I will do my best to reply asap 🙇

It's insane how someone can be so tired after a relaxing 4-day weekend solely because they had a stress episode at the end of the final day.

I neglected doing art this weekend because I dunno, mental illness. I wanna draw a small Discord expression sheet/exploration. I wanna draw more Phoenix Wright. I think AU Braeburn should be a pretty-boy because if I'm drawing masc women, I better draw femme men too. I started a storyboarding job for a short film production. I have so much Rarijack art to do. They need to do the Lindy Hop. Rarity needs to wear a qipao dress. I've been watching Bluey too. I wanna do a CMC comic about death. Those are my thoughts.

[ladydisharmony]

fluttershy and discord practically being aunt and uncle to the cmc is so cute but when i really think about it, rarity and applejack would forbid their little sisters from hanging out with discord 😪😪😪😪.

NO THEY WOULDNT!!!

at the very least they trust him because they trust fluttershy would keep them safe. however i think they both come to be almost as close to him as fluttershy, so they trust him as is.

in the comics, they go on a few little adventures and he becomes an honorary cmc!!!

pics below the cut :)

[franki-lew-yo]

ALL my feelings towards Friendship is Magic could be so easily summed up as:

" -Twilight Sparkle should never have become an alicorn princess in season 3 of a series with 9 seasons - ''

She should have always had it in the books to eventually become an alicorn, but her becoming one in season 3 is where literally all (my own) problems with the show stem from and almost all of those problems are about the show in execution, NOT in theory. 

Everything about later seasons Friendship is Magic’s writing reeks of the writers trying to make their ideas, fan ideas, and Hasbro’s ideas work all at the same time with so little time. They were told to make Equestria Girls, Princess Twilight, Flurry Heart and the movie “work” while also juggling writing in Starlight and her whole arc (and the characters attached, like Sunburst), the CMC getting their cutie marks, the reformed changelings, griffons and dragons, their Starswirl the Bearded stuff; WHILE ALSO making sure Discord and the Princesses (mostly Luna) and the ‘fan fav’ characters worked on their own and come together.

In my opinion, it just didn’t.

There was always too much going on with little to no time to breathe or appreciate the characters -how far they’ve come, how much further they have to go- at all. And it made later bit of lore and characters feel frustrating. It made potentially great characters deeply unlikable. Starlight and Discord are the biggest victims.

I want to like them. I really do. I can’t though because Starlight is not only a ‘madeawittlemistake’(aka ran a cult)-villain redemption, BUT she has to share her stories with the main six. They underdeveloped her while also trying to make her important and it just made me dislike Starlight and Twilight so much. It made me get mad at Starlight for being in the way of a Twilight episode, it made me wanna scream at Twilight for getting in the way of what should be Starlight’s time to shine!

Discord now had to share his ‘redeemed baddie’ spotlight with Starlight and others meant he had no time for his development which, when it was done* (ALL of Season 4) was abysmally fast, badly paced and in my view insulting. It made Discord, even in episodes where he had a point to be there, feel useless because fundamentally was overall. Season 4 assassinated Discord’s character to me and I didn’t remotely like him. For years I thought I just didn’t like FiM simply because the show and the fandom clearly preferred Fluttercord to Dislestia and I was just butthurt. Which, to be clear, I am. My mega revelation regarding this show was realizing that, no- what I hated wasn’t Fluttercord, it was Discord himself. How he was being handled, how he was written from s4 onward (ALL THE EPISODES WHERE HE’S YANDRE TO FLUTTERSHY SHOULD HAVE BEEN BEFORE HIS BETRAYAL. ALL OF THEM. NO YOU WILL NOT CHANGE MY MIND IT’S FINAL) pissed me off so much as a person who really loved his potential character in season 2 and 3. Discord and Fluttershy being besties and possibly more could and should have been adorable...but it wasn't because the Discord we got was a horrid character. Fluttershy deserves better.

I know you guys don’t wanna hear this same old worn-out critique about FiM, but I’m sorry I have to agree: when they weren’t being crowbarred into stuff that didn’t need their stories, Starlight and Discord were both forgiven -by the show- WAAY too soon. The problem wasn’t that they had redemption arcs and/or that other characters didn’t. The problem was their redemptions were badly done. The show didn’t treat them like they had been redeemed from something hurtful, it acted like they had never done anything wrong. And that was bad because it made it so, when the three baddies at the end of the series were officially crowned "irredeemable", the show felt biased. It felt mean spirited towards Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy when their end should have actually felt fitting and funny. It’s not about ‘morals’ or ‘punishing’ fictional cartoon horses voiced by John DeLancie for warcrimes or whatever tf Lily Orchard goes on about-- it’s about how the show FELT LIKE IT FAVORED some characters more than others. That was a thing that I loved Friendship is Magic for not doing in seasons 1-3, what made it and it’s character’s endearing and wholesome to me, and it’s why the handling of the main cast in later seasons felt so mean.

But to get back to the alicorn in the room; Twilight could have graduated or something for season 3 and then the whole show could build up to her actually outdoing Starswirl’s wrongs as she does in the pony of shadows plot. THAT could have been her ‘upgraded to alicorn princess moment’; but it didn’t. As much as I wish it were that way, it isn’t and that’s not what the writer’s did because they didn’t have the time or foresight for that. Sadly, even though lots of flaws and problems were always baked into the loaf from the start (Celestia being useless or 'sinister', ponies being racist towards everything else, bad and/or basic friendship lessons) Twilight becoming an alicorn princess, which DID ultimately change her character, her role and her presence even amongst her friends and the rest of Ponyville, was the start of all the problems.

We’re stuck with what we got and what we got was a series that -to me- only ever kept adding more and MORE until it felt overstuffed, hectic, and unfortunately mean spirited when it wasn’t trying to be. There’s nothing we can do now. Personally, I highkey am annoyed at other adult bronies saying I “didn’t get” the show and its decisions which is why I didn’t like it. No. Trust me I get “it”; the problem is that “it” wasn’t well done which is why I didn’t like “it”. “It” deserved better.

Of course, I also get some of why those bronies are so defensive. After all I was there when the whole 'Twilight becoming a Princess'-controversy happened. I remember how ugly it got and how annoying and entitled you guys were about it and Equestria Girls' existence (don't even get me started on ur #savederpy).

Something I want to make especially clear whenever I criticize writers, especially of kids shows, is that a criticism IS NOT an attack. Ever. Boycotts and callouts should be reserved for stuff that's actually morally wrong and yes they also count for stuff I like, not just stuff I want to be mad at. Lookin at you, Didney.

There was never and still is never a reason to bother, hurt or ask the writers for MLP gen 4 why they did what they did. No, not even if you're being 'friendly' about it. Leave M.A. Larson alone.

Granted, fans being entitled to creator's attention and creator's being entitled to fans' affection is it's own rabbit hole, but I truly think that FiM set an ugly standard for that with animated shows today.

Besides still being too thin skinned and not liking that a thing they've divested so much real life time into could be bad, a thing about cartoon commentary and criticism in the 2010s-2020s is they're really parasocial and demanding of writers and artists behind a show. The was always the biggest, ugliest, most uncomfortable aspect of Friendship is Magic to me: because it's creators were online and fans knew they were listening, could approve of fan's creations, and especially because they felt 'responsible' for a show's success, they were really into @ing writers about everything. When critics would call something out for being badly written it somehow always made it's way into becoming a personal accusatory thing. People were blaming writers for being human and working within time constraints and network decisions. You didn't have to be like that TinyToons guy who stalked Tress MacNeille about sexualizing Fifi in the 90s to be a harasser. You could just be an aggressively oversupporting 'stan' or angry nitpicking critic to make a writer who's just doing their job, uncomfortable

tl;dr: I disliked the writing of the later Friendship is Magic. I think it was bad because it was bad. None of that is meant as an attack on the writers who were trying their best and don't need to be roped into any fandom nonsense, positive or negative, and never should have been in the first place.

Hopefully, that's one deadhorse finally beaten.
