Happy pride from the changeling kingdom

Woe, Pony Town Oncelers be upon ye!! Plus more pony-ified versions with different coat colors ouo

The Onceler always struck me as an earth pony, maybe a mule? I considered giving him longer ears

Both bc of his farming background, in reference to Melvin, and for the idea of making your way to the top through sheer hard work and innovation, not having to rely on any fancy powers!

And he's just so cute- I like how you can see the brown part of his gloves when he lies down ouo

He EEPY, featuring messy wet hair

And the Biggering AU version has his fancy peacock wings!

Biggerler, the man himself! Featuring a little trick that makes it look like he's got those long curly coattails ouo

Also an earth pony! I think the greyscale look really fits him, and that dark marking between his eyes makes him look especially serious

(There is a shark plushie in Pony Town that I would've added in reference to Viktor, but it's one of the Halloween collectables I don't have yet :pensive:)

A note about his neck, you can make things the same color as the in-game grass to create the illusion of it being invisible! So it's like his head is floating ouo

Pony Bitter's got a light green coat with darker ends of his ears, a lighter snout, and mark on his forehead that may or may not be foreshadowing-

And I made him a unicorn! I like the idea that an infected unicorn's magic turns yellow and unstable, so I'm picturing him lashing out at someone and his horn sparks

Which would add extra emphasis to the idea that he's dangerous, and something needs to be done fast.

ROCKYYYYYY- Sporting his skull bandanna and the little star on his goggles and everything! A pegasus this time, since those kinds of classic rock songs tend to use wing imagery

And the markings make him look like a bird ouo

And his second outfit! I looove love love how he goes from a nice blue to this murky blue-green, with the markings turning dull. The fiery wings are a reference to this post!

And lastly, have pony Artic with a little Onceler plushie ouo

Pero no lo hicisteee final 100 hrs have been entered

fred by himself cause i did his shoes with everythign and the little meat texture. Why would i do that if its not mesnt to be visible? May god know cause i dont. uhh the background. yeah ok. uh Fred doesn't have to reflect Freddy in clothes or hairstyle anymore! Boys uniform! Higher, tighter pony tail! also their little jacket. Make up around their eyes, and they have gained acess to COLOR. Hes no longer restricted to shades of purple, too bad hes emo and will only branch out to red TOT. anyway yay for them. uhh uhhh also he has a new sparkle. he has a little yellowy orange sparkle in his chest, right on their tie. they didnt have that before :) new sparkle

im glad were all miserable about how fred is on the floor but also agree that freddy looks best when hes at his worse! keep up that look, youre a natural !! bbbbuhhhh

SUELTENME SUELTENME SUELTENME SUELTENME SUELTANME ok normal, hi pia :3 glad you noticed. im so diseased about when they swap colors in canon.... wughgh misery...

not so fast! theyre both so fucking bad at this game! the game being existing. Fred feeds the body and like. the most basic of maintenance but they too mistreat it in their own special way <3. ANyways how does this scene change? uh. god. i feel like it adds a lot ofc content but i dont. know. thinking about camp makes my head scream... as i imagine it mutates and changed even after having drawn these. living organism....

in my head their body "prioritizes" freddy a lot, like. IF fred is in control while freddy is sleeping, and freddy wakes up, it sorta auto-kicks fred out if they arent prepared and get caught off guard, BUT freddy isnt exctly. too present. hes not the most anchored person to his own self so if fred, can simply push him out pretty easy so long as they arent abnormally weakened, and if they were to fight for it fred will typically win. As for body auto responses, i think it does eventually kick the current pilot out, or mess things up and force them both in or both out, ("how does that work" sh sh sh dont even worry about it... <3 please.) buuuut i think it takes a long time for the body to get to that point, to the point where it does those auto responseds. Freddys gotten it pretty used to well, itself. it doesn't send out the signals that it should, or at best, not as strongly.

Okay why is Freddy all glitchy when out side and not sparkly? beeecause well. cromatic aberation occurs when a lense fails to align and focus wavelengths of color all on the same point. What the hell does that have to do with freddy? (what the hell happens int hat goddamn highschool?) uh! hes totally unfocused. in his entire self. and in his worldview, his view of strangers, of his friends, family. exc. Hes got like at least three different "lenses" he can view himself in, and at least two "good or bad" lenses he can see any given person through. IF anything is certain about him, its his instability. In idenity, in stances, in views, in beleifs, in emotions, in everything. An so, he gets the aberation efffect, cause he is !!! pulling!! apart! no focus, no stability , no alignment, no trust, no brother, no one to rely on, no money, no goals, no self esteem, no style, no shoes, no affirmation, no bitchessssssss also i have freddy at like 18 opacity (and the cromatic aberation layers are also at 1* so lets charitibly say hes at 50 total) and Fred is at like 80/85/90 on any given drawing of these, because freddy literally has less soul. uh. magic stystem or whatever freddy was emoty enough in the cup that holds his soul that he could fit a shadow, who turned into a whole ass person instead of some litttle creature...... fucked up. empty ass. anywho. enough of that miserable prick. freds got glow and sparkles cause hes got a lot of soul, hes got a lot in him, and would shine under any circumstance. stand out in some way bc hes just. like that. he is absolutly bursting at the seams with STUFF that is just not being let out. Hes curious. they wanna learn andexplre and live so fucking badly, the want to live and exist on their own terms and its so much passion and drive and will to live all bottled in this little being unable to be expresseddddd. one of these is more positive than the otherrrrr im sure theres sone negative side i missed on fred and a positive side to freddy that i missed but uh. its. 12am as i am writing and scheduling this so.....

if i had a dollar for every time i thought abt fnafhs id have 1 dollar bc i have not fucking stopped.

Unicorn HRT diary - Month 8

Oh god Comet you are just the best! A real shining star! Every day I see her become more and more a glorious beast of a girl! We've become the best of friends and just last night she dared me to come along to a speed dating event! All kinds of folks were there, both animal and normal? ordinary? What do you call th- HUMAN! HUMAN! How could I forget that?!?! Anyway you would not believe how bad people are at flirting unless you were there! Here are some of my highlights:

Are you a her/she? Cause you're a... mid tier chocolate bar? (Didn't think that one though... I don't even use those anymore)

I see you're a unicorn, I'm also very horny wink wink (BLEGH!!!)

A guy who was so nervous that he didn't blink for 5 minutes (Real 0_0 energy)

Really short guy who spoke with an accent and loved shellfish. Kinda looked like a fuzzy raptor with stick limbs, huge ears and a big pointy tooth. (I think he felt a bit out of place here among taller people)

This kinda charming raccoon who started talking about families until he called me mommy by accident and just felt apart (Kink discovered lol)

Very nerdy dragon who couldn't stop infodumping about robots and cybernetics. (Smart but defo not smoochable)

In the end I didn't find anyone that really sparked anything and Comet didn't either. I don't get it, she's gorgeous and amazing and yet no one else could see it. Like seriously how could anyone pass up the chance with such a beautiful foxgirl like her in need of someone to love? This city doesn't deserve her at all! I swear that if she had put one more point of effort into her outfit people would start melting into pools of slime in her presence! With that emerald dress that perfectly matches her eyes she could take the whole city if she tried! I know that there's someone out there who's just waiting to fall in love with her and it's killing me knowing that's only a matter of time before they meet! Oh it'll be so cute I just know it!!!!!11!!

Comet's story is so cute when she told it to me on the ride back home. I've heard it before but I could listen to it ten times over before getting bored, that's how good she is at telling stories! She best described the process of figuring out she's a fox was a case of 1+1+1+1+1= fucked! How cute is that? All those little hints adding up to a huge problem! Ha ha ha! I'm so proud of how far she's come in just a short time and I wish I could travel back in time and show her who she becomes! With killer looks, a sweet voice and the fluffiest tail ever, I can't stop thinking about who would be perfect for her. Nerdy types? Big strong guys? Maybe she's got a thing for out of town types with a hint of mystery around them.

No matter what I'm going to stand by her and help her as much as I can, Tamara the perky perky pony (That's her nickname for me :3) and Comet the feisty fox tearing apart this city! I wish I was as smart and witty as her with her clever nicknames. (sigh)

Oh wait. Did I really take a month out of my HRT diary just to talk about my best friend ever? Hahaha. Ermmmm right unicorn stuff. Feet are starting to feel hard and my toes are starting to look weird. Think they're starting to turn into hooves which means I'll have to give up my shoes. Wonder if Comet might want them? Just a thought. I should also ask her about what shampoo she uses and her hair care routine. I need to learn her secrets of the mega-floof! Surgery is coming up soon and I'm a little nervous to be honest. I wonder if I could ask Comet to take me in. That would be nice.

Whumptober Day 20: Giving Permission to Die / "It's not your fault"

Though it had only been ten minutes since Ponyboy ran out of the house, Darry felt like it had been ten hours. He got carried away in their argument, and in a sudden fit of rage, accidentally struck his little brother. The thought made him sick. How could he have done such a thing? It was an accident, of course, but that didn't make it right.

Ponybooy had dashed down the street and into the shadows, leaving Darry and Soda to stand on the porch helplessly. At first, Darry insisted on chasing after him, but Soda assured him that Pony would come home soon enough, and that chasing him would only make it worse.

Even though he knew that Soda had a point, something in his gut-- an older brother's intuition maybe-- told him to go searching for Ponyboy. After a restless few minutes, he relented and got to his feet, making his way over to the front door.

"Darry--"

"Are you coming or not?"

Sodapop sighed, then bounded after him, throwing on a jacket before walking outside. They made their way over to Darry's truck before speeding down the streets of Tulsa, searching for their brother's whereabouts.

The first place that they checked was the lot, but they found it empty: not even Johnny was there. Then, they cruised down the streets, Darry staring out the left side while Soda was watching the right side.

They pulled off to the side of the road and Darry turned to Soda, expression stern. "You go across the street to Two-Bit's, see if he knows anything. I'm going to the park."

Sodapop nodded, jumping out of the truck, and sprinting across the road. Darry climbed out of the vehicle, making his way over to the park. The closer he got, the tighter his chest grew as the overwhelming feeling that something was wrong intensified.

The park was dark, the only illumination coming from a lamppost, which couldn't decide if it wanted to shine light or be as broken as the ones around it. When the light flickered to life, Darry spotted two figures lying near the fountain. Even at such a distance, Darry could recognize his kid brother, and began running over. The closer he got, the more panicked he grew.

Ponyboy was lying face-down on the concrete around the fountain, a pool of water surrounding his body. He was soaked from his hair to his shoes, and it was hard to tell if he was even breathing. Johnny was a few feet away from him, curled into a ball, and breathing heavily.

"Johnny?" he shouted, pushing himself to run faster. "Ponyboy?"

Groaning, Johnny peeked up from where he was lying, and Darry could begin to make out his bruised features as he neared. His face was swollen and bloody, looking almost as badly as it had when the Socs got him a few months back and left that nasty scar.

Darry dropped to his knees beside Ponyboy, lifting him up as though he were a ragdoll. Pony didn't react as he was flipped onto Darry's lap. "Pony, wake up!"

"Socs--" Johnny gasped from where he was now sitting. "Socs got us."

Darry gave Ponyboy a light shake, heart racing in his chest. From the amount of water splashed everywhere, it was obvious what had happened to Pony, and he was furious. "Please, kid, wake up. Say something. Anything..."

"I tried stopping them," Johnny said hoarsely, looking miserable. "They took my blade, though, then beat on me. I'm sorry, Darry."

"Don't be," Darry muttered shakily, still willing his brother to react. "Pony, please..."

Ponyboy's eyes fluttered open slightly, a weak groan slipping past his lips. "Darry?"

Darry could've fainted with relief right then and there. "Oh, Pony, I'm so sorry--"

"Not your fault," Pony cut him off, coughing a little. He was pale to the point that Darry could've mistaken him for a talking corpse. "It's not your fault."

"I hit you, and you ran off..."

"Socs woulda got us anyway."

"Pony..."

"I'm tired, Darry," Ponyboy muttered, looking at him through his hair, which has stuck to his forehead. "It hurts."

Darry's entire body stiffened at his words. "No, Pony. Don't say that."

"Please, make it stop."

He shook his head, tears coming to his eyes. "Shut up, Ponyboy."

"Can I let go?"

It was as though the world had come to a halt. His brother was asking for permission to give up-- to die. Darry was going to be sick. He couldn't answer that. He couldn't say yes. And yet, his brother was barely holding on. He must've swallowed too much water. Would he make it to a hospital, or would that only be a waste of gas?

Darry was only vaguely aware of the sounds of Two-Bit and Soda approaching. All he could focus on was Ponyboy's green-grey eyes staring up at him, silently pleading with him to say it was okay.

"Pony..."

"Please, Darry, it hurts. Everything hurts."

A tear slid down his cheek, and he didn't even realize as his head nodded up and down. He couldn't prolong Pony's suffering, what choice did he have?

Ponyboy's eyes glimmered with emotions before they closed and he let out a tired sigh. His chest started to rise slower, and he barely managed to murmur, "M'not mad at you," before his breathing stopped altogether.

Darry hoisted his brother's limp body into his arms entirely, burying his head into the boy's hair. His body shook with tears that he couldn't hold back as he was so accustomed to doing, and he could only pray that his brother was reunited with their parents now.

Tea Party

I decided that I wanted to christen my new writing blog with something warm and light. What better subject than a young Rosalind coming into her powers while playing make believe? If you found this place because you follow my main blog, you likely are already familiar with she and her father Robbie. If not, you’re in for a treat! Enjoy some pure tooth-rotting fluff as morning breaks over my new domain 💛

“How wonderful of you to join us, Robert. Please take a seat. We were just about to begin.”

Robert Gardner beams from ear to ear as he is granted entry, stepping through the doorway without missing a beat. He wears a white dress shirt beneath a spring green vest- the latter patterned with playfully sprawling vines- and khaki slacks. A warm brown tailcoat completes the ensemble, and his shoes have been freshly shined. His hair hangs in ornate braids that have been fussed over for the better part of an hour. He is ready.

“Thank you, your Majesty. You are too kind. Please excuse my tardiness- I’m afraid the royal stables are still in a bit of a tizzy from the arrival of Pepermint. I’ve spent all morning attempting to sort out her care schedule. She is with the smith now, and is being fitted for her winter shoes,” he explains, bowing gracefully towards the table set for tea.

Pepermint is the most recent in Rosalind’s collection of plastic ponies, gifted to her a few days ago on her sixth birthday. Oh, how her eyes had sparkled when the tissue paper was pulled away. Like charoite beneath the setting sun. She’s not yet old enough to wear the color contacts to help draw less attention to herself, and he can’t help but be so grateful for that every time she smiles. She has no reason to believe she needs to hide herself, yet. No reason to be afraid.

Against all reason, he hopes that will never change.

From her seat at the table, his little girl giggles, and it is a sound that could melt the thickest ice. She waves him over, hands clad in the white gloves from her dress-up trunk. They’re ruddy from frequent use, and her tiara is a bit crooked, but in all his many years, Robbie cannot remember ever seeing a more beautiful princess.

“That’s alright, daddy. Come sit! We have cookies! And I need my royal ‘visor.”

The table she invites him to is set for four, which gives him a moment’s pause as he moves to take his seat. Sir Milton is present, as always, and so is Dawa. But the fifth place setting that usually appears beside her beloved rabbit’s is surprisingly absent. “Is Puffball not going to be joining us today?”

His daughter sighs so dramatically that he has to force himself not to break character and giggle. She’s scolded him for that before- it’s not realistic if you don’t pretend right, daddy- and so he’s trying to be better about it. “That’s what I needed to talk to you about,” she says, as though it’s obvious.

He nods sagely as he reaches his seat, trying to keep up. “Ah, I see. Well, then, let’s get started, shall we? Milton, my good sir, it’s always good to see you. And Madame Dawa, you are looking quite lovely today. Have you done something different with your hair?” Bowing to each guest in their turn, he pulls his chair out to take his place. He takes great care in ensuring the coat of his tail falls correctly as he stoops to sit, ever the picture of poise. It’s only befitting of the Princess’s royal advisor, after all.

Said sovereign grins impishly as she reaches to pick up her little paper fan. It takes her a second to get it opened, and she has to manually spread it the rest of the way when her initial wrist flick proves insufficient, but she gets it figured out all the same. Raising it to cover her nose and mouth, she pretends to fan herself lightly.

It is then that the magic begins in earnest.

Milton, the Furby frog, is the first to respond. The click-clack of his beak and eyes have always unnerved Robbie a little, but he’s careful not to show it. The little guy one of his Rosebud’s favorites, and has to be treated as such. No matter how creepy he may or may not be. “𝕋𝕙𝕒𝕟𝕜 𝕪𝕠𝕦. ℝ𝕠𝕓𝕖𝕣𝕥. 𝕀𝕥 𝕚𝕤 𝕘𝕠𝕠𝕕. 𝕋𝕠 𝕤𝕖𝕖 𝕪𝕠𝕦. 𝕋𝕠𝕠.”

She’s getting better at projecting the tone she wants; the croaky rasp of Milton’s voice is almost strong enough he can’t hear his daughter’s sneaky whispers beneath it. Pride flares brightly in his chest. She’s amazing. His daughter is absolutely amazing.

“𝒴𝑜𝓊’𝓇𝑒 𝒶𝓈 𝓉𝓊𝓉𝑒 𝒶𝓈 𝑒𝓋𝑒𝓇, 𝒹𝑒𝒶𝓇 𝒻𝓇𝒾𝑒𝓃𝒹,” Dawa speaks up, then. Her button eyes almost seem to glimmer in the glow of the tea lights. “𝐻𝑒𝓇 𝑀𝒶𝒿𝑒𝓈𝓉𝓎 𝑔𝑜𝓉 𝒶 𝓃𝑒𝓌 𝓈𝑒𝓉 𝑜𝒻 𝒷𝑜𝓌𝓈 𝒻𝑜𝓇 𝐻𝑒𝓇 𝒷𝒾𝓇𝓉𝒽𝒹𝒶𝓎! 𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒹𝑜 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝓀?” The head of the plush bunny tips a bit to the side, allowing her ears to fall in a way that shows off the floral barrette. The motion is still a bit rigid- the accent, a bit wonky- but for her age, it’s incredible.

“I think it’s absolutely lovely. The Princess was kind, to share her gifts with you.” The creasing of his little girl’s eyes speaks to the smile that blossoms behind the worn paper fan. She wiggles in her chair a little, too happy to sit still as her father reaches to pick up her pretty tea pot and begins to pour.

“𝒮𝒽𝑒 𝓌𝒶𝓈! 𝒮𝒽𝑒 𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝓈𝒽𝒶𝓇𝑒 𝒽𝑒𝓇 𝑔𝒾𝒻𝓉𝓈 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝓊𝓈. 𝐼𝓉 𝓂𝒶𝓀𝑒𝓈 𝒽𝑒𝓇 𝒽𝒶𝓅𝓅𝓎.” As Dawa finishes, though, Rosalind clears her throat to draw attention back to herself. She does not set the fan down, keeping it close in hand, but she does stop hiding behind it for the moment.

“I’m sorry to disturb you, but there is business to discuss.” She doesn’t even wait for him to put the tea pot down before she’s going for the sugar cubes: one in Milton’s cup, two in her own, one in his, and one in Dawa’s. Then a splash of milk in all four, just like normal.

“Yes, of course. You wanted to discuss Puffball’s absence, right?” He retrieves his spoon, then, and begins stirring the contents of his teacup. The tea is not hot enough to risk burning anyone, but it is warm enough that the sugar dissolves in fairly short order.

“I did,” she answers after a moment, voice taking on an almost solemn tint. It makes Robbie focus in a little more, caught off guard by the shift in tone. Had something happened to the Popple in the last….26 hours since he’d seen it last?

As if hearing her father’s internal questions, Rosalind continues with her explanation. “She got hurt during our walk this morning. The Healer sent her to the hot springs to get better, but she hasn’t come home yet. I fear for her, Robert. What if she can’t make it home on her own?”

Ohhhhh. So that’s why Jessamine had been running the washer this morning. He had been curious, knowing that he’d finished the last of the laundry last night, but…not enough so to get up and check it out. While his girls have always been early risers, he is…decidedly not. And that’s before taking into effect how little sleep he was able to get last night.

That’s why Jess had decided to take Rose to the park in the first place: to let him get a little more rest before today’s big to-do. He feels a sliver of guilt about not being there, but he also knows both would call him silly for it. They need their bonding time just as much as the next mother and daughter anyway, and everyone needs lazy mornings. Still, he always feels a sliver of regrets for the moments he misses in passing. One day, he won’t have a tea party to attend when he wakes up.

“Ahh, I see. That is troublesome.” Deciding against waiting any longer, he takes a sip from his cup. The warmth washes over him like a sunrise, and he closes his eyes to let the feeling of this second in time sink in. No matter what the future brings, they are together, here and now. And when he opens his eyes to find hers looking back at him, that is worth more than anything he’s ever owned.

“Perhaps when we’re finished here, I can go and escort her home myself?” He’s pretty sure he heard the dryer going not long ago, so with any luck, she should be clean and ready to go. If not, they’ll figure out where to take the story from there. For now, however, the suggestion seems satisfactory.

“I think that’s a good idea,” Rosalind nods sagely. “Go carefully, but bring her home safe.”

“Then it’s decided. I’ll go as soon as we’ve finished up, your Majesty. Now you really should try your tea; it’s magnificent.” He takes another sip in demonstration, then, and casts her a goofy grin when he returns the cup to its saucer. “Just like you.”

She giggles again, and it sets his world alight. “Thank you, daddy.” The play momentarily suspended, his heart melts. What could he ever have done to deserve something as precious as this moment? This life?

He may never know. But the one thing he does know is that he will protect it with every last fiber of his being.

“You’re welcome, my Rosebud.”

Mark Newman’s New Video At The Border Shines a Light on the Worldwide Refugee Crisis

“At The Border”, the latest Music Video from acclaimed Singer/Songwriter Mark Newman is now available on his Official YouTube Channel and social media pages. The video was Directed by George Panagakos of 525 Media. Watch the Video on YouTube Regarding the genesis of this tune, Mark explained, “At The Border” was originally written about the struggles of the people fleeing the war in Ukraine, but is also inspired by the millions of people all around the world trying to escape oppression and hunger on an ongoing basis”. In a pre-production meeting, Newman told the director, “This has been going on since the times of Ancient Egypt. People have had to leave their homes to find better lives elsewhere throughout history. It’s a worldwide problem.  That’s what this song is about, and what I’d like to see represented in this film.” No stranger to tackling tough topics, Mark has always worked to bring about political and social change with his songs, including the recent releases “When I Aim My Gun”, and “Tulsa”, which solemnly recounts the Tulsa Massacre of 1921. The current global estimate is that there are approximately 281 million refugees worldwide, which equates to 3.6 per cent of the global population. Overall, the estimated number of international migrants has increased drastically over the past five decades. Of the more than 44 million immigrants in the United States as of 2019, one-third (14.8 million) were low income, meaning that their family’s income was below 200% percent of the federal poverty level. Upcoming Mark Newman Showdates:  6/24 Mark Newman w/ The Hitmen, Coppell, TX 7/15 Mark Newman w/ Streetfighter at Jones Beach Bandshell, NY 7/16 Mark Newman w/ Sailin’ Shoes (Little Feat Tribute) at Woodbridge Concert Series 7/23 Mark Newman w/ Sailin’ Shoes (Little Feat Tribute) at Great South Bay Music Festival 8/10 Mark Newman w/ Jeff Lake at Jones Beach Bandshell, NY 9/03 Mark Newman w/ Allmost Brothers at Jones Beach Bandshell, NY Newman has worked with many soul, blues and rock greats including John Oates (Hall & Oates), Jim McCarty (The Yardbirds), Willy DeVille (Mink DeVille), Sam The Sham, Bobby Whitlock (Derek and the Dominos) and Sam Moore (Sam & Dave). Mark has also shared the stage with stars such as Sting, Elvis Costello, Travis Tritt and Carla Thomas as well. As an opening act, Mark and his original band have played many dates with acts like Delbert McClinton, Les Dudek, The Doobie Brothers, Don Felder of The Eagles, David Bromberg and many others. A multi stringsman, Mark has mastered electric/acoustic/lap steel guitar as well as the mandolin and dobro. Past releases include the singles “Tulsa”, a song and video created in remembrance of the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, and “From Me To You”, a cover of the Janis Ian song for her Better Times Project of 2020. His most recent album, “Empirical Truth” was the 2019 Winner of The Long Island Blues Society Best Album Category, and represented the NY area in competition at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Earlier records include 2006’s “Must Be a Pony”, 2010’s “Walls of Jericho”, and 2015’s  “Brussels” – a live acoustic-driven EP.

I know this isn't the most on-topic, but I've been thinking a LOT about rainbow themed designs lately, because the Rainbow High toy line is getting a rebrand and it makes me MAD how much they botched the rainbow character's design!

Like, imo this design exemplifies the issues pretty much any rainbow design can fall into. Just slap rainbow gradient on to everything! Rainbow on rainbow! It looks almost like they tried to use pink to kinda ground the look, but there's not enough of it, and it's divided between a darker pink in the hair and the more pastel pink used on her shoes and accessories.

Rainbow colors and theming are super popular in the world of toys, cuz lots of kids adore lots of color, but I swear it's the most commonly botched color scheme. FIM Rainbow Dash really is the peak for me! Also, I hope I don't seem like I'm dismissing it as "just a toy," it's just since my personal interests are more aligned with toy collecting I default to that viewpoint.

I also think that since Rainbow Dash was an existing character, that the designers deserve a fuckton of credit for refining it!

Like, here's G3 Rainbow Dash as she appeared in the cartoons. All the elements are certainly there. She's blue all over, but it looks a lot more saturated (worth noting that box renders did use something lighter, but I figure the reference point here would be the animated adaptation).

I think they were sort of trying to do a color divide, but instead of the warm/cool split on the mane, the tail gets pink and blue (👀🏳️‍⚧️) while the mane gets... Everything else? The cutie mark is also busier, with more colors of the rainbow and two clouds (and I'd guess it was a harder symbol to keep consistent in animation, lower budget of G3 nonwithstanding).

Also, she shows off some of the little ways that the ponies designs became more expressive in the move to the FIM style. G3 and earlier had a pretty bad habit of making the texture of all the ponies hair the same.

I think this is a good example, everyone is essentially just a color swap with hair that's like... Straight hair styled to be a big curly lol (which does make sense due to the emphasis on the toys, which all have a softer nylon hair that can seem flat and heavy when it's straight). But because FIM puts the designs at the forefront, we get Rainbow Dash's hair being able to showcase her punky personality while also (in my opinion) kind of conveying her tendency to move at high speeds!

The FIM designs are just all so clean, strong, and expressive, and the shift in art style alone would have elevated the show, but they went a step further and simplified the designs in really striking and iconic ways, while also letting all their individual personalities shine through (something that could have easily been overlooked by just pointing to the cutie marks and calling it a day.)

10/10 my only complaint is that my G3 girlie Minty didn't get to even be a supporting character, I will never step down from this soapbox and demand justice.

But her design was cute af so I'll take that.

its so cool that rainbowdash's design uses the full rainbow but they still went hard on her primary color being a pure sky blue. its so clean

Lenny shrugs before taking a drag off of his cigarette. He blows out the smoke, regarding the man before him with narrowed eyes. “So your question to me is: What makes me good enough for Midge.” 

“That’s right,” Joel says. “What makes you good enough to be with her? I’d bet money on the fact that you don’t have a decent answer for that question.” 

Lenny smirks and leans against the alley wall. 

“What’s funny? Why do you look so amused?” 

“Because I have an answer. It might not be the answer you want, though.” 

“Let’s hear it then,” Joel challenges. “What is it that makes you good enough for her?” 

Lenny takes a deep breath, his expression going serious and thoughtful. “I’m in love with her. And that means something different to me than it does to you, I think.” 

Joel scoffs. “Bullshit.” 

“It means being there for her,” Lenny says earnestly. “Listening to her. Really listening. When she’s sad or upset. When she’s angry. When things get unpleasant. It means hearing the words that come out of her mouth and taking her feelings into deep consideration. It means taking care of her, beyond the usual monetary way, which means respecting her enough to let her tell me how best I can do that.” 

Joel’s expression goes serious; unhappy. 

“It means going home and being happy to see her every night, no matter how shitty my day has been, and most of all...” He takes another drag off of his cigarette. “Most of all, being in love with her means being happy for her successes. Being thrilled when she bests me. Because she does, and she will continue to do so, and that feels good. It feels good to watch the woman I love be sensational no matter where I am in my life and my career. Because I know that no matter how terrible things get for me? She’s going to shine. And that is a sight to behold. Not to mention an incredible turn-on.”

Joel’s face goes sour then, but he still has nothing to say. 

“And that, Mr. Maisel, is what makes me good enough for your ex-wife,” Lenny concludes. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, she scheduled herself the night off, which means she’s relaxing at home. In our apartment. And since I have finished my little dog and pony show at this very lovely nightclub, I get to go home and hear about how her day has been.” He drops his cigarette and crushes it beneath his shoe. “Goodnight.”
