Aurora: "i saw Swiss laying on top of someone from the pack omg!! WHO THE FUCK WAS IT?!"

Swiss, picking Dewdrop up: "Why so interested?"

Aurora: "OMG WAS IT DEW?"

Dew, kicking his feet: "OH HELL NO I WAS NOT UNDERNEATH THIS MAN!"

Aether: "Yeah, you were underneath me instead."

Dew: "I-"

Phantom, sitting by the table hiding behind Mountain quietly: "uh..."

Swiss, looking at Phantom with a cocky grin: "..."

Phantom, looking back at Swiss pleading to shut up: "..."

Swiss: "It was Phantom."

Aurora: "OH?!"

Inspired by this amazing art by @e-vay. (This is probably one of my favorites of Shadora. 🥰)

Fireflies danced in the cool autumn air, their twinkling lights mirroring the glittering stars in the clear night sky. It was still, quiet, serene. A lovely little house decorated with carved pumpkins, tall candles, and hay bales stood at the street corner. Two beautiful hedgehogs stood on the porch, talking and laughing quietly with one another. Each had lovely pink quills and green eyes; though one was comfortably dressed in a black and orange sweater and skirt, the other--the youngest of the two--was a bit more 'dolled up', adorned in a bright pink poodle skirt, denim jacket, and heels.

Until a motorcycle's revving engine ripped through the air. The machine wove down the street and finally swerved to a stop in front of the house. The rider cut the engine and sat back in the seat, lifting his helmet off his head, revealing sleek crimson-striped black quills. His brown pinstripe suit and tan sneakers clashed spectacularly with his motorcycle, but he didn't seem to care by the smirk that swept across his tan muzzle. He peered over his sunglasses with glinting ruby eyes, the younger pink hedgehog studying him with a raised brow and a smirk of her own, twirling her own pink shades in her fingers. "You goin' my way, doll?" He purred.

The pink maiden coyly bit her lip and giggled, slipping on her shades. "Is there any other way to go, daddy-o?" She replied, kissing the other pink hedgehog on the cheek and descending the porch steps towards him. The rider snickered and passed her helmet to her. He revved the motorcycle as she settled in behind him, and they roared off into the night with cheers and laughter.

Amy chuckled and shook her head. "Straight from the fridge, man."

Bats my eyelashes, can you guys pretty please send me soft babblez about my husbands (Jericho, Frost, Taishen, Mountain, Omega) or my wives (Lethica, Mist, Aurora, Queenie), and in return I'll give you fanfics

So there's this theory I've had bouncing around in my head for *checks notes* about three years now and, well, it does not have nearly the level of evidence I tend to prefer before I make a theory post - it is, in fact, Predominantly Vibes Based - but it has, again, been bouncing around in my head for three years and I refuse to be alone with it any longer

(...also, if I'm right, I wanna be able to go "I KNEW IT" and have a timestamp to point to XD)

OKAY. So. Basically.

I think Alinua might be a twice-born.

Hear me out:

Firstly:

We know that Cloud Elves live pretty much exclusively on the Archipelago Nimbus and are isolationist (Extra Lore: The Three Elder Races - "The Islands have minimal contact or trade with the outside world, [...]" & "These Cloud Elves are unique in many ways, most notably their isolationism [...]" and Page 1.6.12 "I suppose a cloud elf outside of the Archipelago Nimbus is fairly unusual-") but Alinua has been down on the surface since before she can remember

That suggests unusual circumstances. Isolationist people who have minimal contact with the outside world don't just lose a baby in said outside world

Alinua's theory for this is that her birth parents "probably reasonably assumed [she] had the Chimeric Plague and dropped [her] over the edge" (Page 1.6.13) but, crucially, there is no actual evidence of this. It's what she assumes probably happened but she has no memory of the actual events (Page 1.6.23 "I don't even remember it. I've never met my birth parents […]")

Therefore, it is entirely possible that Alinua is wrong about how she ended up not on the Archipelago Nimbus. And I, personally, think it's pretty likely that she's wrong because we know that the Archipelago Nimbus can sometimes be even higher up than the peak of the Throne of the World (this post) and even with it usually being lower down than that, I find it... somewhat doubtful that an infant (toddler, at best) would survive that fall. Not impossible in a fantasy setting but... doubtful.

Secondly:

We know that the Chimeric Plague was Life attempting to connect with a vessel who could be her eyes and give her perspective (Pages 1.20.20 - 1.20.23)

Even before Life finally broke through, Alinua was incredibly unusual for a carrier of the Chimeric Plague. She didn't even find out she was one until she was about ten (Page 1.6.13 "I had a normal life and family for ten years- and then I learned I was a chimera bomb [...]") when most die before they turn five (Page 1.2.10 "I shouldn't have made it past five years old" and Extra Lore: The Chimeric Plague "[...] it is inevitable in every case that the child will lose total control of their magic within the first few years of their life [...]"). She was twice the expected age of a carrier when she found out.

We don't know why Alinua is the successful attempt that finally worked. Not only do we not know, Alinua herself brings it up while talking to Life (Page 1.20.23 "I… don't know if there's anything special about me that kept you from overwhelming me like the others, or if I'm just the lucky one you finally got right."). The question is open: is there something special/unique about Alinua that allowed her to survive where none of the other children did? And if so, what is it?

Thirdly:

So. Carrion crawlers.

We have not actually met any in the story itself yet, only heard Caliban bring them up in the context of an insult (Page 1.12.10 "Twice-born son of a carrion crawler! You had a plan this whole time?!") but fortunately! the Aurora tumblr exists! so we have additional information!

Carrion crawlers eat dead things and sometimes give birth to baby clones of one of their recent meals, which are called twice-born. A twice-born is a healthy infant, identical in every way to how the original would've been as an infant, and age normally for the species they were produced from. Additionally, they have no memories from their source material (so to speak) and develop their own, unique soul, though if they came from a mage, their soul will develop the same channels (this post and this post)

...now, I mentioned at the start that this theory does not have as much evidence as I would like and is mostly Vibes Based, and we have now hit the point where I run out of evidence and switch to vibes. I do not have any evidence which actually points to a connection between any of this.

However, I do still Have Thoughts

We know that Alinua was adopted had a happy (or, at least, "normal") childhood prior to figuring out she was a chimeric carrier (1.6.13, see above) and seemingly doesn't think about her birth family very often. It's entirely possible that she didn't ask questions about where she came from as a child. It's not been brought up yet how her adoptive family found her but, given that she assumes she was thrown off the edge of the Archipelago Nimbus, the possibility that they found a seemingly-abandoned baby just lying around doesn't seem too out there. And if Alinua is a twice-born, yet clearly doesn't know that herself, her family may also not have known that... or may have known and opted to keep it hidden, even from her, given that twice-born are generally considered "deeply unnerving and grotesque" (this post).

As for how Alinua came to be in this theorised scenario, there's two possibilities I've considered.

The first is that an adult life mage cloud elf was outside the Archipelago Nimbus for Some Reason, died somewhere where there are carrion crawlers, and things went from there.

The second, much sadder, possibility is that the "Chimeric Plague carrier baby thrown off the edge of the flying islands" possibility did happen... the baby in question just wasn't Alinua because the fall was, in fact, not a survivable one. And then, just as a twice-born will inherit being-a-mage, Alinua inherited having the Chimeric Plague.

And, in either of these cases, something about being twice-born subsequently protected Alinua from being overwhelmed by Life.

Hihi! I've been stalking this blog on the plushies tag but haven't followed yet ahah. I wanted to make a poll suggestion. Perhaps a poll between the palm pals Luna the Bat and the build a bear Midnight Shimmer bat? Those are my two current comfort plushies and wanted to send them in. ^^

Hi! I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the polls enough to make an amazing suggestion! These two are adorable, I can’t wait to see what everyone else thinks!

Introducing Midnight Aurora’s Family!!!

Okay, so I touched upon these guys before slightly, but I never really delved much into it, so here we are.

First is Glitter Star! She is Midnight Aurora’s birth mother, and the one who encouraged Midnight’s interest in magic. While Glitter Star did attend Celestia’s school, she was an average magic wielded overall. She took more to the stars, learning the constellations and patterns, and even teaching them to Midnight when she was a filly. She married Frostmoon after she dropped out of Celestia’s school, Frostmoon helping her realize her love for the stars and the sky. It was actually this interest in the sky that drew Frostmoon to her, as he was a Pegasus working for Cloudsdale to help maintain the skies of Canterlot. While Glitter was unable to actually change the sky herself, Frostmoon took great pride in impressing her by making special heart patterns out of clouds just for her, or even clearing away rain or snow to make sure she was safe. He almost got fired for this a good handful of times. Glitter loved her family dearly, and there was nothing more important to her than her husband and daughter.

That was, until her passing.

Glitter Star passed due to a disease that was unable to be treated in time. Midnight was a teenager at this time, and struggled greatly with her death, like her father. Frostmoon even had to ask his job for extra vacation days to help Midnight adjust to life without her mother.

Years passed, and Frostmoon did his best to help Midnight get into the school she wanted and become the pony she’d dreamed of being.

The second pony is Frostmoon himself, if you couldn’t tell. He loves his family very much, and still misses Glitter Star very dearly. But time passes. Life goes on. And Frostmoon eventually met someone else once he went back to working at Cloudsdale. A lovely mare named Butterfly (the third pony pictured above.)

Butterfly was a very sweet and excited Pegasus who took pride in her job and did her very best. She met Frostmoon while working as a secretary for the Cloudsdale Rainbow Factory. She spends her spare time collecting insects and admiring them before setting them back into the wild. Inside her house, there are plenty of pictures of the bugs she’s caught. The two fell in love after spending time together, and eventually, Frostmoon remarried.

Midnight Aurora was upset by this, and felt that Frostmoon was cheating on Glitter Star. Despite the amount of time that has passed, she thinks that Frostmoon still moved on too early, and refuses to accept Butterfly into her life. And shortly after Dandelion (the fourth pony) was born, Midnight moved out of Frostmoon’s house and into her own place. Midnight Aurora has not met Dandelion face to face, but knows of her existence and chooses to ignore them altogether.

Dandelion was born roughly a year after Butterfly and Frostmoon were married. She’s taken a great interest in gardening and insects like her mother, but she also wishes to someday meet Midnight Aurora. While Frostmoon has been taking wonderful care of Dandelion and ensuring she is not forgotten or treated like second place, Frostmoon still worries about Aurora and misses her very dearly. Dandelion hopes to one day meet her half-sister and convince her to see their father again.

so okay so. I never share any art I make. Of humans because frankly it's terrible idk that sounds weird but it's fine I'm working on it

.however. it's late I'm feeling impulsive so take these sketches I made yesterday at midnight with nothing but a very dim neon pink flamingo led thing for lighting(it was VERY dark) and I think it's. Funny

Oh and a Gunpowder Tim sketch page I made while looking at pintrest

If the writing is incomprehensible? Yeah sorry I don't know what it says either

[midnightsun-if]

You’ve mentioned that Cy has siblings right? Can you tell us more about them?

Cyrus/Cyra does have siblings, correct! I’ve gone back and forth on how many they have, but the final answer is five.

From Oldest to Youngest:

Cyrus/Cyra — 103

Aurora — 100

Helios — 96

Kiran — 92

Apollo and Artemis — 81

(Seeing the ages make me chuckle.)

I do have tentative FCs for the Twins beneath the cut, for anyone that’s interested!

okay i hope you don't mind me dropping by your inbox but i have to get this out of my brain, i need to sit father john fucking pruitt down and make him listen to the most heinous shit i have on my playlist (90% of my spotify lmao) just to get a reaction out of him. christian woman by type o negative? a classic. necromancy by bathory? 'demand all of heaven's virgins to bend before our horny lord' goes hard ngl. klnx by akira & le sabbat? poor guy's holding on for dear life lmfao (i can send you a translation of the lyrics if u want since it's french)

First of all.. NEVER apologize for dropping In my inbox , especially if it’s about silly stuff such as this.. I adore this..

Thinking and Pruitt being once 80 now young again I absolutely believe he was concerned during the “satanic panic” era of music so hearing things like type O negative and other metal / heavier bands.. he’d have a heart attack I thinks..

A ton of Ghost songs remind me of Pruitt but I don’t think he’d EVER listen to them and kinda shun them it makes me wanna tie him down and make him listen to it even more mwhaha .. feel free to send any song links to me that you’d think make that old man go like this
