"Hey everypony!" Rainbow Power says, "We at the Garden of Harmony have gathered!" "This year, we're all going to dress up for Nightmare Night in a group costume!" Gold Bat declares.

"So be ready for a fright (it won't be that bad)!" tosses in Fluttershy!

"BE READY!" Sparks and Morning Bright say in unison while Nassa adjusts her glasses

Can you draw my wifey @nox-lunarwing wearing a service vest that says "Emotional Support Dracony" and requesting uppies? They've been having a hard time lately and I think it would be a nice suprise.

Hi!! I loved your hcs of the Octotrio with a yuu that seems to only have a talent in art. I related to it a lot because sometimes I feel like I’m not good at anything else other than drawing.

I was wondering if you could do the same prompt with Riddle, Ace, Deuce, Cater, Leona, Malleus & the Scarabia boys please? If that’s too many you can just do Leona, Malleus, & Scarabia. Thank you 😊

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ A/N: I guess everyone has one of those episodes, huh? I've been writing for more than 8 years now and sometimes I get hit by the "aa but I'm only good at writing, I should totally try something" and then I try something new and hate it bcs I really love to write and nothing can compare lmao. Anyway, I hope you like this darling, I did all the characters requested too btw ~

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ Ace would be playful and encouraging, but his competitive nature would lead him to manipulate situations to keep you close. He’d play little tricks to make sure you stay dependent on him, offering "helpful" critiques that subtly undermine your confidence in anything but your art. His lighthearted facade would hide a deeper need to be the center of your attention, he is your muse, the one you use to practice, the who inspires you, making sure that you see him as the only one who truly understands and supports you, all while ensuring you don't realize how he’s subtly sabotaging any other talents you might want to try to explore, for he fears you will not want to spend more time with him anymore if that was the case.

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ Cater would use his social media prowess to make you art the talk of the school, ensuring your work — and by extension, his support — is always in the spotlight. However, his validation would come with a price, as he subtly isolates you from others, creating an environment where you feel your art is only appreciated by him and his curated audience. Cater’s charming persona would hide his darker intentions, as he manipulates your into believing that your worth is tied to the art you create under his influence, all while keeping you emotionally dependent on his constant praise. You're already good at other things, so surely you don't need to have another hobby, right?

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ Deuce, unlike Ace, would be fiercely protective of your artistic talent. He’d encourage your art with an almost desperate intensity, pushing you to try different brushes and pens, different scenarios and things, but he'd also pressure you to stay focused on what your good at, ensuring you don’t waste time on things you never tried before. His possessiveness would manifest in his need to be your protector, to the point where he'd become intimidating towards anyone who tries to steer you away from your art, that does not apply to yourself, while he think your drawings / paintings are very beautiful, he would not force you to make it more if you're having an episode where you doubt your skills and think you are good only on the art field. If you want to explore new things, Deuce will be by your side the entire time.

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ Riddle would be intensely supportive yet controlling, pushing you to perfect your craft while ensuring you don't stray too far from his strict rules, even more if you are already his lover. His obsession with your success would become borderline suffocating, as he constantly monitors your progress and enforces discipline to keep you on the right path, nurturing your already beautiful talent. To Riddle, your art is flawless, it's personal and have a touch of you in every drawing, be it digital or traditional. When you come to tell him about your doubts, about how you're only good at art, Riddle promptly sooth you with gentle words, albeit he is a little awkward while talking. He offer to teach you about whatever you want to learn but be prepared because he is somewhat a strict teacher.

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ Leona would admire your dedication to your art, and he would ask questions about it too, learning as much as your interest as possible. However, his possessiveness would be almost primal, keeping you close under the guise of protection, ensuring you don’t waste time on anything — or anyone — else. Leona would be dismissive of your attempts to explore other talents, reinforcing that your art is the only thing that matters. His control would be subtle yet overpowering, as he ensures your world revolves around him and your art, leaving you with little room for anything else.

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ Malleus would shower you with endless admiration, captivated by your artistic talent, even more if you were influenced by an artistic movement. He'll notice all the little details, the subtle way the traces converge, how the color scheme is perfect, the way the shadows and the light reflect. He is your number 1 fan, so supportive of you. However, his intense fascination would drag you into his lonely world, where your art becomes your only outlet and he is your audience - though he has your drawings framed and hung on the walls of the castles, so everyone can look at it and admire. Malleus may not understand your struggles and why would you want to pursue another hobby, but he can arrange anything you may want to try at least once, from singing and dancing to sewing and knitting, even the art of potion making, archery or fencing. He just know you're going to find something you like as much as your art, and if you are happy so is he.

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ Jamil would secretly nurture your talent, subtly guiding your creativity while undermining any attempts you make to excel elsewhere, he sees your art as something free and with many meanings - it makes him relaxed in some sort of way and Jamil wants to be a little greedy here, he wants you to continue creating more pieces, always keeping you under his watchful eye as you started drawing / painting. There's just something so intimate, so calming about it he can't wrap his head around. He loves watching you creating your art, feeling is guard lowering just a little. If you ever approach him with your doubts, Jamil take you to the kitchen so he can teach you a few things about cooking. It's a different kind of art but when all is said and done, it's just as good as when you're creating and make you feeling accomplished.

.⁠｡⁠*⁠♡ Kalim would be so overwhelmingly supportive and enthusiastic about it, showering you with gifts and opportunities to nurture your artistic talent, buying everything you may need to create your art, a new software? Sure, no problem, he brought the most expensive one too. A few new pencils and pens? Right away. You need more frames and paints? It will be here in a couple of hours. However, his naivety mixed with possessiveness would lead to unintentional control over your life, as he tries to keep you happy and close by his side. Kalim’s well-meaning gestures would create a gilded cage, where your art flourishes but your freedom is slowly stripped away. He would be oblivious to the suffocating effect of his love, believing that as long as you're happy creating art with him, nothing else matters, leaving you feeling trapped and not knowing how to communicate with him. He have done so much for you already!

Yes, Combine OSHA regulations mandate kabutos on the factory floor. If you will die you will die as a warrior. Industrial accident is really just another way of giving your life in battle.

Another lance worth of mechs for my Sword of Light forces complete. These distribute fairly well with my existing stock to make a cav lance and direct fire support lance.

If someone gives me a code for the Draconis Tetrachroma emblem, I will get the little dragon tattooed on me PLEASE

[what-the-flux]

Oort looking positively savage whenever he wields a spear. He was a natural when it came to mastering this particular weapon.

[mysaldate]

Okay so I already know nobody cares about the lore enough to address the OTHER glaring issues with how the Draconis were added and explained. I know nobody cares that they would never ever ally with Dura because Dura is the one who fucked them over, and I know nobody cares that humans would be the LAST they would help, and I know nobody even cares that Gwyneth isn't a fucking lost dragon princess with kewl girlboss powers or whatever, or that the dragons were supposed to be hibernating underground and not have fucked off to some random island, or that Kane has a DRAGON mount, not a wyvern, or that them trying to "hide" their "shameful past" of being enslaved by humans literally doesn't work because half their population LIVED THROUGH IT...

But let's bring up another point for a second. From the Floating Isles AbEx season, we learned something very very curious that honestly makes the inclusion of dragons as the ultimate good-guy saviors even more tone-deaf and, frankly, incredibly stupid. Yes, the dragons were eventually enslaved by humanity and almost driven to extinction. However, for thousands of years before that, literally since life in Esperia was created, dragons were the ones kidnapping and enslaving people. Most of the dragons in charge, including Dwyneth's parents and Hildwin lived to see that shift, meaning they were SLAVERS and likely kidnapped and enslaved entire tribes of humans and other "lesser" creatures like the winged serpent. And worse yet, some of these creatures, like the winged serpent, were so conditioned into servitude that they crave it even now, thousands and thousands of years after they've been freed. They kidnap hundreds of humans to the floating fortresses and gather magical artifacts in hopes of bringing back their masters to rule over them again. This wasn't just your regular old slavery, this was purposeful psychological conditioning to the point where the slaves just aren't able to move on even now. Hildwin, Dwyneth's parents, and at least all the other old generation of the "Draconis" are despicable and awful and should've been depicted as such instead of this stupid goody two-shoes mary sue bullshit.

Anyway, that's my overthinking rant for tonight.

@theproperweirdo @special-vibe @i-think-i-like-cute-hearty-stuff @thefearfulheart @celestialtwins46 and everyone else who likes afk lore or is on my blog for it, honestly pop off queens and kings and other royals, we need more of us if we ever wanna hope to make a change (we probably won't be able to since Lilith is just addicted to ruining their franchises by now but oh well)

Katana of the 2nd Genyosha

Finally finished some more Genyosha. As simple as it is, I'm really fond of this color scheme.

[ross-hollander]

Awful mockup of what I still maintain is an amazing idea: menpo or at least menpo-style 'nose art' on Combine 'mechs.

[agbpaints]

A few more 1st Sword of Light mechs are on the way but I was especially pleased with how this Grand Dragon turned out! I intend to use this as a company commander but because I already have a 1SoL Dragon I had to break the all red scheme and give it a little something to distinguish the two on the field.

It's a bit sketchy but I'm pleased with how the cherry blossom wrap on the PPC turned out.

The Bury/Unearth and the Archeology prompts for Ectober had HUGE crown royal energy so uh. Yeet-
