#mlp daring done

[muslimsinmedia]

This background pony (maybe) in MLP FIM season 7, episode 18, "Daring Done" I'm not sure abt her but let me believe it :,)

[powerpuffobsession]

Am I the only one who feels that Hazbin Hotel's overall vibe is far too naive and upbeat for an adult cartoon about hell and redemption of sinners?

I feel like before writing this cartoon, Vivzie and the other writers should have made a trip to unfortunate areas of the world and watch how the lifestyle there rolls. Because hell is said to be a place of misery, where there is no trust and a lot of hate, both internal and external... Adam is an object of pure unfiltered hartred (both from writers and fandom) because he dares to live in heaven, such a safe and friendly-natured place...

And yet the sinners who happen to be main characters act more like school kids on a field trip (even more carefree than those, lol) - their selfish and sinful motives are so artificial and are brought up only when these characters need to look like a victim, not like criminals who somehow deserved a place in hell

Obviously, it's a manipulative trope to put them in a better light than Heaven and Adam (who is forever silenced by the writers and not allowed to voice any thoughts and reflections other than "hurr durr murder I luuuv murdering and being evil because that's what I was since I was born, even though Lilith and Eve, born literally the same way as me, were innocent victims from the get go, and no logical explanation for that will be provided whatsoever - men bad, women good")

In the light of all that, the sinners are too eager to trust each other and form "da epic powar of friendship" mlp-sonic-style

In a society built on terror, anarchy and survival instincts, no one would ever bother wasting vital power on noticing someone's problems and helping them out. Everyone is focused on their own problems and desires, and that's what drives them to act. Well, the exception may be family members, and even that varies

That's why Husk's intent to comfort Angel after the later attacks him over nothing at the bar, looks really fake, considering the setting. At first I thought that "loser baby" where Husk insults Angel, was some sort of revenge and Husk laughing in the spider's face. But no, it actually turned out to be a comforting song that started their friendship. Husk literally had no motivation to want to help Angel, because he was annoyed by him all the time prior. If there was some kind of basis for their bonding, I would have believed it. But not like this.

And Angel had no reason to actually like that sort of comfort. I get it when your best friend or a family member cheers you up in a harsh way - you know them. And even when coming from people you trust that can hurt. Now imagine a complete stranger doing that to you. That's actually something that shouldn't be done - trying to playfully insult or jester a person you haven't communicated with for a long enough time to gain their trust. And to make this even more strange, Angel at first reacts negatively, but then suddenly snaps to liking that disrespectful way of comforting for no reason at all.

And why did Angel even vent his problems to Husk, a stranger bartender who he'd hurt before. Wasn't he actually afraid of being laughed at and of Husk using his trauma to spread gossip around or something?

Next, Sir Pentious. In the pilot (which is officially part of canon, mind you), he already felt like a joke sunday cartoon villain, but at least he had some edge to him that made him look like a sinner with some dark history. In the series however, he gets nerfed the very moment he steps into the hotel to the point where it's painful to look at

His tendency to abuse his henchmen, his physopathic demeanor, his hartred for Cherri (instead of embarrassing attempts to get blue balled by her), his sincere power hunger - where did all that go? Vanished in a blink of an eye. All that's left of a promising snake demon is a pile of fanservice. So morally unchallenging and harmless that a viewer theoretically simply cannot resist loving him

Well i'm kind disappointed. We don't even know in what way Sir Pentious had to improve, because the plot never focused on his past, his life goals, whatever made him want to lead turf wars and whatever awful things he did in life, what was the point where he started degrading... none of that. He just became a better person after one "sorry song" and acted perfectly innocent ever since and didnt put any effort into getting ready to sacrifice himself for other main characters

The sacrifice... to me it's baffling how fast the sinners, over the course of just 6 months, actually became Charlie's family figures and risked their lives for her hotel. Such pure child-cartoon-styled power of friendship, built in hell, with the aid of a princess who cant even think through her project of helping sinners without bringing them more trouble... realistically, Charlie would have had to fight angels alone (how convenient it is that no main characters died in that chaotic brawl, right?)

And Charlie herself is far too naiive and soft-natured for someone who is free to walk along the streets of hell looking at all the muder, rape and othe horrible stuff that's happening there. Given that she's 200, Charlie had more than enough time to built up her street smarts and guts and learn to be more practical and mindful, instead of staying with the mind of a 12 year old who needs other characters to do everything for her (Lucifer, Vaggie, Alastor) and then get praised for THEIR efforts. That's hell's royalty and our main character?

Aaand since sinners are portrayed as Charlie's "people" (as if they are a nationality), sweet babies who all deserve redemption and are called innocent by Emily (I can't believe how dumb the writers made angels be) - the true essence of exterminatons is never focused on. Adam and his exterminator army are seen in the wrong, like some kind of monsters who terrorize poor souls. However, think about this - child molesters, rapists, torturers, bullies, nazists, actual racists etc died in those exterminations. Doesnt that seem like something a lot of us would want? To have scum like this disappear as revenge for people they have hurt/driven to suicide?

Exterminations are not really an act of racism, bigotry or something like that. They are an excecution of criminals, which a lot of sinners are.

But the black and white writing is trying to conceal that rather prominent highlight of the rotten part of Charlie's plan (not all sinners deserve mercy or redemption). All that was needed was to make exterminators these icky "villains" who luuuv killing and are never willing to listen

All in all, a cartoon that has an ambitious premise that should be driven by psychological reasearch/analysis and dark serious themes... makes me roll my eyes with its cliche use of "power of friendship" and " strictly good main characters, strictly bad villains" tropes. Too bad such beautiful animation was wasted on such juvenile writing that never had any effort put into it

There shouldn't even be any villains or heroes in a setting like this. Allow the lead roles (sinners in hell) do something actually questionable and be unlikable, don't coddle the viewer in fear of making them even the slightest bit uncomfortable. Allow those, who opposes sinmers, have personalities and reasons, not cliche sociopathy for sociopathy's sake to cause forced sympathy for the main characters

Pristine "safe" writing should not have a place in adult cartoons. Or else they will stay a product that'd rather be watched by 7-14 year olds instead of adults (I can't picture a single adult over 22 who would unironically call hazbin hotel a show that tackles realistic issues in an observant way)

[chaifootsteps]

I really don't get why fans keep insisting Stolas' main flaw is "being insensitive" or "not being self aware"

the former implies that he's annoying others but not picking up on their cues indicating that's the case.

a character "being insensitive" would be something like what happens in that MLP episode, I think it's called All Bottled Up. Trixie accidentally loses something important to Starlight (I think it might've been the quest giving magic table? idk) and she's kind of flippant about it, so the two go around town together trying to get it back while Starlight uses a spell to bottle up all her feelings of anger towards her friend

when she finally does snap, Trixie says she had no idea - and it's believable because Starlight was bottling her anger up and most of the signs of it were small, like in facial expressions or occasional annoyance in her tone. Trixie was insensitive because she should have realized she did something bad that hurt her friend and didn't, then missed her annoyance with that fact because Starlight was literally hurting herself and then accidentally the townsfolk when the magic misfired trying to hide it.

that isn't the case with Stolas. In most Helluva episodes showcases his 'insensitivity' he has other characters either literally tell him what the problem is and what they don't like and what they want him to stop doing and he ignores it. That isn't being insensitive, that's ignoring other people's emotions because they get in the way of his fun and his needs. It's just selfishness.

Loo Loo Land is the most obvious contender here. Via literally says she'd rather kill herself than go to Loo Loo Land and that she isn't five anymore and Stolas just overrides her objections because he wants to plaster over the damage his cheating has done with a fun day out. Then he brings Blitz along and Blitz is even more forthright - he tries to set a very clear boundary that he's here to work (and repeats this multiple times) but Stolas ignores him every single time. This is just textbook sexual harassment, it's not 'being insensitive'. And no, Stolas stans, Stolas coercing Blitz into a sexual agreement the episode right before does not give him the right to do this.

Apology Tour is obviously the worst for this, since it's when Stolas escalates from ignoring everyone else's feelings to actively punishing Blitz for his. Also, it's hard to argue he's 'not being self aware enough at times' because that implies he doesn't realize how he comes off to other people. But Blitz literally told him at the end of last episode that he thinks of him as a pompous rich asshole. Stolas doesn't do anything to try to mitigate that behavior - if anything he turns it up to 1000% and gets pissy with Blitz for daring to point it out, causing Blitz to think of himself as 'being mean' since Stolas has gaslit and emotionally abused him so successfully he regrets even standing up for himself.

The "he's just socially unaware" excuse is wearing thinner with every episode, and at this point it should really be put out to pasture. Stolas has continued to behave the way he does even when characters are literally screaming in his face how his actions make them feel.

[punkitt-is-here]

do you have any unpopular mlp opinions? (for the record, i mean more like 'i think applejack is the worst character in the show' not like anything serious, but any answer works)

I guess my unpopular one is that I don't think the show has a massive dip in quality? I've been having a blast and I'm almost done with Season 7 and I've had NUMEROUS people tell me that "this is where I dropped off because the show got so bad" and i've already watched it and thought it was fine. I guess its because I'm watching it all after it aired, but I really am not noticing any frequently bad episodes; unless its a Daring Do ep, at worst it's usually just "okay". And then there's so much stuff that I LOVE more past the first 2-to-3 seasons that I can't really see myself viewing there being a huge drop in quality. I fuckin love Starlight and all the fun adult friendship problems they start tackling! It might not be what people initially got into MLP for, but as An Adult Watching It In the 2020s, that style of storytelling is way more up my alley.

So um all the mlp infected au have been everywhere lately and they inspired me to make my own :D

Lore below the cut

*Note that these were descriptions on separate posts from my Instagram so if it flows weird, that’s why*

I’m calling this au My Little Beast and this is the beast virus. The beast virus is an alien virus that came down to Earth inside a space rock. Daring Do went to check it out and was bitten by a worm-like creature that was residing inside the rock. The worm creature promptly died and Daring Do was made into patient zero.

The virus spreads solely through the saliva of infected and, mysteriously, it ONLY infects ponies. The infection, after getting bitten, is a harsh and sudden transformation into a beast form that will vary depending on what species of pony the infected is. Infected acquire a ravenous appetite for meat and will kill anything that moves.

Infected ponies can no longer use their magic after being infected, hence the missing cutie marks (infected pegasi wings are big enough to fly without magic). Even though uninfected ponies can still use their magic after the outbreak, magic of any kind does not directly work on the infected. So survivors cannot use magic spells to fight infected.

I mentioned previously that the infection only infects ponies. This means animals, dragons, and any other non-pony creatures are practically immune if they are ever bitten. However, they are still at risk of getting mauled and eaten by infected ponies. Stabber venom will take effect on non-pony creatures.

You’re probably wondering why none of the infected forms I’ve drawn so far is wearing their typical clothing or accessories. Well, simple answer is they tear it off during transformation. Infected ponies hate the feeling of anything clinging on their bodies due to the rapid and drastic transformations occurring to their bodies.

I know Cadence typically gets infected in these infection aus, but I needed an alicorn sacrifice for the ref sheet (and Twilight is the one making these infected guides hint hint)😔

Shining Armor and Flurryheart do manage to escape infected Cadence but that’s a story for another post ;)

They absolutely hate fire! So long as it is not magical fire as anything magical in origin has no effect on infected ponies. If a survivor is looking for an easy distraction to get away from infected, it can be done two ways: always have a torch on hand or throw already dead corpses at infected. The infected ‘s blood thirst will have distracted by any kind of dead body, including the bodies of dead infected.

[patchymoon]

merc 3/9 done. its the piss man ceo of piss with a surprising lack of yellow in his design all things considered

his name is Murky Waters and i named him that because his color scheme is based off of his 5 million alligator themed cosmetics. anyways he is a hippogriff/seapony (they are the same thing and they transform into one another if you arent aware of the lore of the later seasons). thanks to @homkamiro for inspiring me with their own mlp au designs and making sniper a hippogriff, i am too dumb to think of that myself

this is actually the first design i started working on but i couldnt get the hippogriff sketch quite right for a bit so i didnt finish it until now

as usual lore details n shit are under the cut

ok so i would like to first clarify that in this au sniper's parents didnt kill off all of new zealand (or whatever pony equivalent) by being stupid because seaponies can breathe underwater. theyre just kinda cut off from the rest of the world because of it. kinda fits because g4 would never dare kill off any characters ever without reviving them shortly after.

other than that he has identity issues he needs to sort out, like he doesnt feel like he belongs in pony, hippogriff, or seapony society. he's pretty glad he gets to be around ponyville after the gravel wars n whatever, because hes more accepted despite being "different" thanks to twilight sparkle spreading the good word about the power of friendship. perhaps the two get to become besties, who knows

[marine-indie-gal]

Now before anyone dares to come up to Me and ask Me a simple question that I'll answer easily...Yes, I'm a Pegasister. 

I remember when back in my hey-days of the Golden Age of the early 2010s, I was completely obsessed with My Little Pony (being that it was one of my actual first fandoms alongside with TAWoG), mostly around with The Fourth Generation (Friendship is Magic). However, somewhere in my Pre-Teens, I remember discovering its actual history being that it was actually popular around in the 80s as a Toyline. Also, another thing that I remembered the times that as a young kid who is still a Pegasister to this day, I used to watch some G3 Movies and even that G3.5 Movie, "Twinkle Wish Adventure".

I have been seeing the recent generation (G5) that has been streaming on Netflix lately (only a little bit but not too much since I actually stopped watching FiM after Season 4 a long time ago as a kid and it turns out I completely missed out on everything ever since I felt done with MLP for a long time). Now that my Pegasister energy has been coming back to Me lately, I have been recently on a binge-watch to the actual very first generation around in the 80s (because I live for Old-Decade Classic Fantasy Nostalgia), Generation One.

In the First Generation to MLP, there were actually Human Characters in it despite that the first show itself actually really did had some Dark Moments which G4 and 5 brought some aspects from but I never really considered the first version of MLP to be that "Girly-Girl" since there were a lot of Fantasy Franchises with its epic dark moments in kids media.

Especially for an interesting fact that the Main Ponies (most notably the Mane 6) were actually based off of the First Ponies around in the 80s (Posey was an Actual MLP Character and main inspiration for Fluttershy before Posey even became her own character in G5). And even some of the characters (Applejack, Spike, Tirek, and Grogar) were actually a thing around in the 80s despite not including a lot of other characters that G4 brought some of the G1 characters in (Bray, Hydia, Hydia's Daughters (Draggle and Reeka), Catrina, Squirk, Lavan, Arabus, Zeb, Night Shade, Moochick, The Grundels, ect.) and of course, my most favorite characters from the First Series despite one of them that did make a cameo in Equestria Girls...The William Kids (Danny, Megan, and Molly).

After seeing some much interpretation of how that the First Human Children looked if they were to appear in the G4 Style, it was my turn to shine as I figured why not to my personal take on Megan Williams and her Siblings if they were actual characters in "Friendship is Magic" rather than have one of them be some kind of cameo-joke in one of its Modern Spinoffs.

Sorting My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

We've had a few weeks of sickness and have binge-watched MLP, as one does when one has an ill 6yo.

Twilight Sparkle: Double Bird

Her primary is very clear in the episode about Pinkie Pie's weird twitching (which, I will point out, is never addressed in any other episode). Twilight refuses to believe in something so illogical until she has no choice. As for her secondary, she lives in a library and her job is to research.

Rarity: Snake Badger

I love Rarity. She's a Snake primary IMO. She's ambitious and sometimes selfish. She wants to go to the Gala to find romance. Rarity is willing to sacrifice her wants for her special people, like her sister and Fluttershy. She's a Badger secondary. There are several episodes where she has a meltdown because she can't get something to be perfect and/or overworks herself. The sleepover episode is a great example of her need for things to be done right. She gets in a fight with Applejack about how to sleep correctly.

Fluttershy: Double Badger

Fluttershy is the epitome of Double Badgers. Animals are included in her definition of people and her job is basically to take care of all the wildlife. She can understand them and wants to go to the Gala to meet even more animals. She's terrible at boundaries and being assertive to the point where there's an episode in which she takes a class on becoming less of a pushover.

Rainbow Dash: Double Lion

She's a gloryhound Lion whose cause is being the best flyer and joining the Wonderbolts. She's loud, blunt, and never gives up. She loves pranks and acts of daring. Pretty straightforward.

Applejack: Badger Lion

Applejack's secondary was pretty straightforward. She's the element of honesty. She hates asking for help and would rather harvest the entire farm herself than admit it was too much for her. She is honest to a fault. Her primary was a bit trickier, but there's such an emphasis on her family as a whole and on helping the community of Ponyville.

Pinkie Pie: Double Badger

Pinkie was really hard for me to sort. Honestly, I can't stand her as a character. Ultimately, I think @wisteria-lodge has it right and she's a Double Badger. She is always hosting parties. She connects people with others in the community. When Gilda is being awful, Pinkie goes to Twilight for help and her solution is ultimately to throw a party to try and bring Gilda into the community. Her motive is that she wants everyone to be happy and have fun together. She is absolutely crushed when she thinks her friends have turned against her and builds a really creepy fake group of friends out of inanimate objects to cope.

MLP Rewrite Daring Done?

Okay so I actually rewrote this one AGES ago and was a lot more favorable to Caballeron than Canon because I had already kiiiinda gotten attached to some headcanons.

But here's the refined version:

Daring's losing confidence isn't due to anyone spreading false rumors to slander her it's just. It's a lot of things. A few too many close calls, the fact that she's not as young as she used to be, and yeah some more legitimate criticism.

Rainbow and Pinkie try to cheer her on, but this isn't as easily fixed is it?

Daring agrees to go on one last adventure with them.

So the three head out and get into the usual Indiana Jones-esque nonsense that all Daring episodes are. But while they make it through the adventure, Daring is clearly not that up to it and is getting more and more hesitant instead of, well, daring.

Eventually they run into Caballeron and like. Even he's concerned about Daring's lack of energy. Because he starts their Rivalmance Banter™ but she just doesn't respond to it so it's like 'Hey, you good?'.

Though Daring and Dash are very 'wouldn't you like to know, whether boy?' about it, Pinkie spilling the beans about one friend to another(because yeah Caballeron has gotten a 'Ponyville Welcome' before for reasons so he's a friend) is totally on the table.

Now. Caballeron is just like ????? You're Daring Do???? You don't give up??? That's your whole fuckin thing???. Daring wonders why he's concerened because wouldn't he want her to quit?

No he doesn't. They have a thing going and it's clearly Complicated™ because they're Rivals™ but he does care about her. And she's always been an inspiration in a way. For the treasure hunting in general, but also like. When Caballeron isn't adventuring, he's an archaeology professor. And Daring's books have inspired more ponies to get into that line of work. She didn't quit the first time some ancient temple's trap nearly killed her, why stop the fiftieth time? Okay other than general not wanting to die but the point stands-

Somehow this really weird pep talk coming from a Rival actually does help, and things start going back to normal for the rest of the adventure.

With a bit of 'hey, so like. When we're not being rivals for treasure hunting....'

MLP Fan Fiction WORK IN PROGRESS

Of DARING DO he said :

So nice to see an update to this tale! It seems that the "trash" from the end of the previous part has taken itself out, and the Discordians are doing a fine job of cleaning up the rest of it!

Indeed they are! As Meridian pointed out earlier, there are far more than one sort of Discordians. In keeping with Honorly's earlier offer of aid, his and Meridian's sort are non violent, but not allergic to it when needed!

They are the sort that would NEVER interfere with the mysterious doings and works of Discord, but do eagerly study what they can of her works in the honest hope of understanding the things that Discord does and especially WHY they are done as they are.

colby is a very contradicting human being. just when you think he has changed, hes gotten the hint, there is not more he can delete,he goes back and throws in a old snap question from Ms snapchat and we’re back to square 1. i think most of us have caught up to her game by now, how conniving she is, and deemed it pretty pathetic and sad, but he loves to be the second player whenever things are finally starting to settle down and get quiet. if he ruins this year with his shenanigans again i am officially done with all of them. i think twitter has calm down, more people have opened their eyes and then there he goes once again with mlp, and ms snap, and traitor taylor.

i might be giving some controversial yet brave opinions here in this ask lol jk

i'm not saying any of this to you, or that this whole answer is about you, anon. this is more a general, overall feeling i have towards some of the anons i get that mention being upset towards colby about stas or shea or whoever.

i get it can be annoying when he gives attention to these ppl. i understand that it sucks when things finally cool down and grow quiet only for them to start back up again bc he does something. but i think it's good to remember that not everything he does related to these girls is shit-stirring. sure, there are definitely times when he does lurk and likes to see what everyone is saying. but honestly, i don't think this past time (of him using stas' old question on snapchat) was him trying to start anything. highkey he probably just used it absentmindedly. he's used it multiple times in the past, why does now seem different?

also, i feel like just bc we have a problem with someone, and he might have had a problem with this same someone, doesn't mean he has to ignore them for eternity bc it pisses us off. look, i don't like stas, i've made that clear. but i also know that i can't control what he does. even if we all know giving her attention causes issues, it's his life at the end of the day. not to mention, that is his friend regardless of how we feel. sure, they had their problems, they had their kerfuffle; but clearly they moved on from it, even if slightly. she's probably gonna be in videos this year. they might even go on trips together. but that doesn't mean oh he's doing all of this for attention / to start drama back up in the the fandom. tbh i think some of yall give him a lot more credit than you should lol

but even if, for argument's sake, he is doing all of this to shit stir… why isn't he allowed to do that? i get it. it's annoying. but imagine how annoying it must be for him. he can't do anything without being shipped with stas or shea, or another girl if he dares to breathe near her. and even when he tells the fandom to not ship him with his friends, they don't listen. not to mention no girl will ever be good enough for him and this fandom. and then on top of that, he's told who he should and shouldn't hang out with. and while i know a lot of us warn him bc we care, he may not see it like that bc of past fandom bs. he has to walk on eggshells around us in fear of pissing us off which is why he's basically removed himself from almost all social media besides the one he made with sam. he can't even grow facial hair without getting emails sent to his business email telling him to shave it off.

so, is it really surprising that he does shit like this from time to time? if stas can get away with using him for every possible tiktok with a sappy song or poem, why can't he do the same back if he wanted to lol

HOWEVER, that doesn't change the fact that he doesn't want to be shipped with her. it doesn't negate all of the things he's outright said about being single or not liking being shipped with friends. he's made it clear that he doesn't like that. but him being petty doesn't take it back either.

if you're annoyed by it all, that's fine. but i think it's good to remember that it's his life and we're just observing it. we can't control what he does, and tbh there is so much more going on then we even know. also... don't let it piss you off so much. if you need to remove yourself from the situation, do that.

When I first put up my (still ongoing, in side-stories) fanfic world about (brace for impact) My Little Pony, I got some lovely, lovely pieces and share them, then. They're also shared on the front page of the stories themselves on FIMFic. But OP is right - They should be called out and shared directly. So here we go.

TWO PONIES My first foray into the MLP Fanfic. This was incredibly well-received, much to my (continuing) surprise. The following image was drawn by CoconutJam over on DeviantArt, and shows Spice Drop, a character from Act 3.

ORDER FROM CHAOS / JUSTICE / HOPE

This was initially a one-shot written on a literal dare. IonSturm was a regular in the writing help channels I frequented. I helped with grammar, structure, and characterization. After yet another awful Sonic the Hedgehog in Equestria story that simply couldn't be saved, I told people that I would not longer be reviewing them. His dare was, in effect, 'If you can do better, I'll give you an entire internet.'

After OfC sailed into accolades, he said I hadn't done enough. We needed to have the lead character hit *all* the tropes - marry a pony, meet the princesses, have a kid, and face his nemesis.

So I did that too, through 'Justice', but took liberties on what 'nemesis' meant.

"NO," he cried! "This is still EASY MODE! You need the actual blue blur in the mix. I refuse to admit defeat unless Sonic himself is present." But the poor fool failed to recognize I had fallen in love with the story, and the characters, and by the stars themselves, Snowdrop wasn't going to give me a *minute* of peace until I gave her story time.

So I did that too, in 'Hope'. To much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

He eventually admitted I had done so, and also gave me permission to call him IonStrum, a typo-name that irritated him to no end.

GiantMosquito, again on DeviantArt, drew this piece and I used it as the cover image for Justice.

You might be able to guess who the lead character turns out to be.

But the plot bunnies. Dear fates above, the plot bunnies. I had to get them out. I had to fill out the backstory. I had to tell more about Snowdrop and her family. I had to do this. I had to do that. So I started a collection of vignettes, some chronological, some self-contained, all intertwined, called...

FINE STEPS

In the town of Pasofino lived a pony and his family and all folk he knew. And this is the story of what happened there.

It's still not done. I have been working WAY too much and traveling WAY too much but more chapters will, eventually be coming. When I posted it, Alexstrazsa on FimFic and Wentox on DeviantArt collaborated on this:

I have been a very, very lucky author to have such talented people share these efforts with me and my audience simply out of love for my work. I can think of only one higher accolade for my writing, which I will copy in its entirety here:

Squeak squeak went my floral magenta bed. Waking up just now this legendary & flukish morning. My Nina is finally letting me watch TV instead of doing chorse. She will come in 2 hours at 10:00 AM. But now I have to feed my dog Allie. So I stared at a musc video. La la! Then I raced outside to see Allie bouncing on my onyx trampoline wiht a pine green alligator in my confusing backyard! The container of doggy bitz scattered (not real dog bitz)! It was shocking all I could do is gape! Allie bulldozed out a bunch of mixed up barks. My fairy self casted a yackin & quackin spell on the alligator to make him have a conversation (because I’m a spellmaster fairy). But he explained that he did not need magi abilities. Intrudcing he cleared his throat & announced his name is, “Gummy Mclede Diddlebob the Eighteenth” (awesome).

We charged into my cramped house & played the brand new super cool fair red Wii2. Yes I won the legend of zelda but Gummy owned me a hungry hungry alligators (I’m positive he would always win). Gummy & I sprung over to my room fater than Pinkie Pie. Gummy was starving (but I think he’s just hungry). So I gave him 3 cans of tuna (blech) & salmon (gummy ate the rusty metal to)! (Weirdo McBoberson).

Imagining to be fairys (well I didn’t have to pretend). Then we hung out (litterally we were upside down), it stunk more than my throwup on the floor (& he did pass gas). So we sprung down & landed on my comfy cozy speckled couch. We got some sky blue gatorate & played Zelda. Score I found the princess of zelda 3 times (magicl)! We watched the replay. “Whoa” yelled I, while I flinched when Gummy snapped at me.

Gaping in amazement suddenly he snapped at me 3 more times. Gummy soon had me knocked out on the floor! What else could go wrong? Suddenly my wand loosened out of my firm grisped fists & most of my magic pranced out like little dancing fairies! Out of nowhere I was in a dusty boxing arena. Ding ding! Looking around seeing if I could reverse the slepp. Looking back at gummy he was charging at me! I leaped up in the misty air & dodged the hit. Gummy was trying to hit me! (Not a surprise.)

Quickly finding my marbled wand & grasped it. I quickly bulldozed out these words, “Stop this brand new you make you blend so we can be friends.” Vroom vroom! Hearing my Nina’s car thinking there’s no way to stop a Wii2! It seemed like my Nina barged in & shook the whole house! When she walked in she gaped & fainted. 10 min later. She woke up & we all rejoiced. She got up & stormed to the backdoor & shooed Gummy away insulting him, but Gummy will come back for playdates.

P.S. Besides we’re having a BBQ tomorrow & I expect some unexpected guests.

My 2nd youngest, at age 9, wrote that because she loved the time we spent telling stories to each other (whether about MLP or not) and was given a prompt to use her new *adjectives* on a school assignment. The above result is unedited, and utterly charming.

So, thank you, everyone. And if you're curious about these stories and don't mind a little pony in your life (or one unloading her u-haul into your skull to move in and make suggestions when you're TRYING to SLEEP, SNOWDROP), please check out this list on FimFic.

Also, I blame @aleasesrestaurant for her editing assistance. 😇 YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID (which was a lot, and I still need to thank you some more, so get used to it).

[EDIT 1: I forgot to mention, I was so surprised and pleased by the art of Spice Drop that I had a mug made of her sketch form and final edit (above). I'll try to snag a picture once I'm back home again. Spice keeps me company on my desk with my favorite pens at the ready. ❤️ ]

[EDIT 2: I forgot the main thing I wanted to say, of course. OP, and other artsy sorts? A picture or poem or *anything* from twisted pipe cleaners to fiber art to chiseled busts being brought into the world in response to a writer's story is one of the BEST THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN, so PLEASE, if you feel inspired to create based upon a story we've told, don't hesitate* to share. (*within the bounds of consent) ]

Apparently, my decision to be silly and make fanart of someone's writing (because I genuinely enjoy the story the person is writing and I was struck with inspiration upon reading a particular scene) has benevolent and wildly unforeseen consequences.

I apparently gained a bit of control of the canon because said writer really loved the art and decided what I drew/draw is canon.

2. Writer put said artwork into the document of his story right below the scene, so now it's IN the story where people who read the story will see it (with a link to me)

3. He sent the artwork to all his friends and people he knows because he was so excited

Wholesome interaction and I watched him do all that in real time, good stuff. However...there are two more consequences I was notified of today...nearly a full week after I gave the artwork.

Seeing the artwork caused his friends to become interested in reading and hearing about his story, which means more people are reading what he's writing and giving him critique on the story (which he actively asks for).

Apparently, upon seeing the art, his writer friends got a sudden second wind to pick back up writing they'd abandoned for a few months. Because, I quote, "seeing that someone enjoyed {his} writing enough to take the time to make art of it gave them the motivation that maybe THEY can write something that will inspire someone to also create something." I have accidentally caused a writing frenzy among his writer friends and my silly idea to make art for someone has had a butterfly effect for people who I don't even know.

Uhh...I'm pretty sure there's a moral here but I am tired and have a great deal of emotions about this.
