Where the Words Lead

The golden glow clung to the air, thick and weightless, as if the light itself had substance. Sam stood amidst the strange trees, their forms twisting like ink bleeding through ancient parchment, their branches fanning out into delicate, feathered wisps. Everything around her felt unreal—dreamlike yet solid beneath her feet. At the center of it all, the feathered pen stood upright, embedded into…

The Iron Trio

Sure hope nothing bad happens to them *clown music intensifies*

All the inhabitants of Moonstone Island!

I got a plan to draw them all with the spirits I gave them in my playthrough, but first I had to figure out how to draw everyone, so here they are!

The Prague finale was so iconic. Like I respect Kafka for at least having some cool vibes going on during his horrible necromantic ritual.

Rito wind au

Fanfic prompt : the Zora in wind waker got their wings from Valoo by collecting a scale from him

So what if wind also got a scale as a form of thanks for saving the dragon

(which was a thing I actually thought would happen when I first played the game as a kid because Valoo's scale sounded like a Zelda item you could collect)

And also can get wings

The Rito would probably already consider him part of their tribe because Quill essentially adopted him already (Dad Quill is best Quill)

And when he

Saved their dragon from a monster that was tormenting and angering him

Took Medli the one rito who could understand Valoo to become a sage and reconnect with their ancient ancestor and play a duet together

And also got their dragon to help him on his quest

They definitely wanted to honor him for that

So after his adventure the Rito threw a feast and held a ceremony

And Wind got thrown off a training ledge to try flying properly

(Because if Medli who had her wings for a while already has trouble keeping in the air if the wind is not favorable then a hylian who just got wings definitely needs some training to fly)

He hangs out with komali

And then gets to hang out with his Dad (who officially took him in now)

Then linked universe happens and he doesn’t have the time anymore to practice flying

So he and the chain adventure around till they appear on dragon roost island

And he just immediately startes to hoop over the pillars with all his flying knowledge and use the grappling hook for places he can’t glide to yet

Asks for quill at the mail office and then throws himself at quill

The chain at first freaks out because he just bolts away so fast they can’t follow catch up with him

And see him with his Bird dad

And just go like

Yeah they definitely know eachother until Quill just throws him (throwing bird children helps them get enough momentum to glide farther it’s literally canon but so hilarious) and then they actually see his wings when he flies back on the ledge

Because everyone already heard from wind about two rito friends

and his really unusual wind affinity for a hylian

They just immediately think he is a rito

And only much later do they find out that he wasn’t always a Rito

Because he fits in way to naturally with them

And now they tallest of the chain throw him at people

The History of My Ponysona

Hey, let me tell you all about my ponysona, InkyQuills!

Don't pretend you're not extremely interested in this because I know you're not too cool for it. You're on Tumblr.

The first time I drew a ponysona, I did it ironically:

Oh, too scared to draw an unironic ponysona, huh? Don't worry. You'll come around.

In fact, the first time anyone actually asked me who my ponysona was, in December 2013, I posted this:

The first ever drawing of Inky Quills. I guess someone asked me. My hand was forced and I had to create a real ponysona. Sigh. 9_9

Still masked in a little irony with a horse version of the Understanding Comics symbol for a cutie mark because I was too closeted to be sincere. Named after what ravens and writing desks have in comon.

Two years later, on December 2015 I drew this:

I titled that image "inkyQuillsCutiepie.png"

Pretty eggy, if you ask me. Anyway, I'm glad Inky's a pegasus now. Fits my personality more. And the name.

And then, after I came out as trans, I redrew Inky Quills as a mare for the first time ever in 2019:

I own all that jewelry IRL, btw.

And that's the entire history of Inky Quills!

OR SO I THOUGHT!!!!!1!

I recently found an image file on my computer from 2013 that predates all of this; the ACTUAL first drawing of Inky Quills:

I ORIGINALLY DREW HER AS A GIRL‽

Look! Look! I gave her a special horseshoe with a pen-holder so she could draw comics!!! I designed an entirely sincere G1-inspired cutie mark!! And she's literally calling herself pretty! Just like I do whenever I look in a mirror! Aaaaaahh!

Oh my gosh, I must have been SO SCARED to show this to anyone!

As soon as someone asked me who my ponysona was, I must've quicky redrawn her as a guy and blocked this image from my memory under seven layers of irony!

Past Daisy, you poor closeted baby!

I realised I never posted this one here

[googlyeyesonmagiccards]

You're right, that is a pretty great wurm

[ramblings-of-lola]

I love when authors/writers take characters that the audience hates and then we get their perspective or the other characters get to know them better and suddenly we love this character and pause and go "how did this happen?"

This post by @ashmeowi has me thinking of an entire GOTG!MLP AU so here we go

Star Lord: A pegasus. Keeps his hero codename because it already fits the format of most pony names. Was secretly an alicorn like his father, Heavenly Body, though he lost his horn after stopping his evil plans. His mother, River Lily, was an earth pony. His cutie mark is a ravager emblem, symbolizing his talent for thievery, but also leadership.

Forever Sky: A pegasus. Was part of Naturally Selective's experiments to create ponies with specific talents for his perfect society, and was his only success. Because of the experiments, he has raccoon-like features, marking him as not a "true" pegasi. His cutie mark is a rocket, symbolizing his talent for building machines that fly.

Groot: An earth pony. He would have a new name if not for the fact he can only say "I" and "am" and "Groot", exclusively in that order. Despite this, he has a real knack for growing things and nurturing life, hence his cutie mark being a pair of entwined branches shaped like an X.

Deft Dagger: A zebra. While she was Titan Terror's topmost assassin, she has defected to join the GOTG. Her cutie mark is a double-bladed dagger she received once from her adoptive father, and she keeps it covered most of the time due to her hatred for him turning her into a killer.

Brass Bruiser: An earth pony. He has sworn vengeance upon Titan Terror and initially tried to kill Deft Dagger before joining the team. He's known as "Sax the Destroyer" due to his cutie mark being a saxophone, the instrument he loved to play for his family before they were taken from him.

Whistling Blowhard: A unicorn. As a child, his horn was removed by the Kree before he escaped and joined the Ravagers, who gave him an artificial horn that allowed him to control his yaka arrow. He also aided Heavenly Body in abducting his children before taking Star Lord in. His cutie mark is an arrow piercing a heart, hinting at his soft interior.

Verdant Verity: A unicorn. She was another of Heavenly Body's children and was forced to help him bring in more before meeting Star Lord. Her magic allows her to sense and alter the emotions of others, hence her cutie mark being a heart formed by two hooves.

Blue Feelings: An earth pony. Another of Titan Terror's "children", she was forcibly given cybernetic parts but could never match Deft Dagger in combat. Her cutie mark didn't manifest during her childhood, but as an adult, she gained one depicting a hearth after making Knowhere a home for herself, her family, and for children like she once was.

Astro: A baby dragon. She lived on Knowhere before the GOTG bought it and takes care of their base while they're on missions. She also possesses the ability to send and receive messages for the team.

Gilded Redemption: An alicorn. While not adept at using his artificial powers, he is supposedly a cosmic savior with incredible physical and magical potential. Though initially made to retrieve Forever Sky by Naturally Selective, he eventually chose to help the GOTG and save Star Lord. His cutie mark is a lightning bolt, due to the nature of his quantum magic...

[mdoesitmatter]

Listening to the tma as an impressionable person is so ridiculously hard. I don’t watch horrors or read thrillers, I heard a spooky story in a camp once and it has haunted me for years and I’m overall jumpy and paranoid as it is, as a person. SO YES I AM HAVING NIGHTMARES ABOUT SOME EPISODES OF TMA. YES I SLEEP WITH THE LIGHTS ON. BUT IS SO GOOD I CANNOT STOP LISTENING. BUT I AM ALSO SO SCARED. Send some help.
