mlp g5 redesign/rewrite? Info dump ramble and individual images below the cut! Just a sketchy image because I just needed to get it out of my head, but I got things to do lol.

WARNING: I'm WORDY

So, we all know one of the biggest things mlp g5 got wrong was tying the lore to g4. This left contradiction, plot holes, a feeling of missed potential, plus annoying old fans all in one go.

I decided I wanted to think up a better revival plan (in my opinion, but I'm biased) that could of led to a more successful generation. Just basically an opinion on what they could of done differently, with creative liberties. I tried to follow the guidelines of what would be allowed in a children's cartoon, and designs that could work for toys! Higher quality toys tho, that can handle body diversity.

So, instead of creating a new cast of characters, i wanted to follow the patterns of old generations- by reusing characters! Each of the mane 6 presented below is inspired by ponies from generations previous, as recent as g5 or as old as g4. Some ponies may even be combined.

Also, part of the charm and draw of unicorns, pegasi and ponies is this colorful cottage coreish feel- and I feel by adding smart technology to relate to current children, it misses the point of pony characters. I understand the need to add an equivalence, however.

So, in terms of setting, it'll still be a simple magic filled fairytale land, with any technology being a secondary plot factor. I'd imagine that while they have machinery integrated, the common pony wouldn't have many tech toys unless it was a part of their personality. Tech that does appear would reference technology created between the 80's and the 2010's. There's also some social media, but that's usually accessed through a family or household computer.

I think the 'separated pony races' storyline could of worked, but again with it being tied to g4... makes little sense. Our setting would have a Queen Opal ruling Ponyland (Not Equestria) with her being respected as any other princess. The three pony races are in a mostly self segregated life style, though the ruling government encourages it. Schools, establishments, neighborhoods and everything is segregated, though pony races still lived in the same kingdoms, and it was more often hostility than fear.

There would be a clearly established hierarchy, with unicorns at the top so as to encourage them to look down on the pegasi and earth ponies. All pony races would be stuck in labor roles established by the queen, with long and busy schedules. Unicorns are put into administrative jobs such as accounting and managment, pegasi maintain perfect weather (using industrial machines) and the earth ponies farm food and maintain gardens. These roles are determined by pony race.

This world still wouldn't have magic, with all ponies simply believing only alicorns have magic. Opaline would be using the magic to power her castle and a many of her factories/businesses

The establishing story would see the main cast grouping together and overthrowing the evil queen opal, who has secretly been sewing mistrust between everyone to separate them and make them easier to control. She took their magic for the same reason, and has been controlling ponyland for years.

Anyway, onto the characters!

Toola-Roo is inspired by Toola-Roola! Her name has been shortened for reasons soon to be clear. Toola-Roo is an artsy and creative pony, with a strong sense of justice.

She is an activist character, though she begins focused on things that dont truly matter. She starts out the plot without many friends due to her being uptight, but she goes on to see the issues that truly matter, and ends up fighting for what's right

She wouldn't need the glasses all the time, smiliar to g4 rarity

Added some mane colors and gave her the full rainbow. The whole mane 6 have a rainbow motif

Nicknames could include Roo-Roo, Toolie, Tools, ect

Scoota-Loo is Toola-Roo's Older, sportier, more popular sister. A lot of plot would come from this dynamic between the two sisters. Scoota-Loo here is more inspired by her g3 appearance, but has some g4 personality.

Scoota-Loo starts out often feeling embarrassed of her sister, frustrated she doesn't try to fit in with norms more or calm down. She eventually sees the world for what it is, and chooses to help her sister save ponyland. Scoota-Loo would be charming, playful, but truly kind. She has a lot of pride, and doesn't feel confident going against the crowd often.

Nicknames could include Scoots, Scootie, Loo-Loo, ect

Sunset Shimmer was the design I got most excited to do. Inspired by g4 Sunset, she changes a bit in this universe, with her motif being the Phoenix. She likes alt/punk styles. While standoffish at first, she would warm up quickly. She is also a huge nerd.

Sunset would probably be unwelcoming at first, used to non-pegasus looking down on her. She would already be against the queen and government, having read forbidden knowledge in the abandoned library she lives at. She shows the group old books that prove magic is real and hint that opal is evil.

Nicknames could include Sunny... idk if there's anything else

Rarity is a sort of Mashup between g4 Rarity and Fluttershy, with a cutiemark throwback to Rarity's g1 inspiration Glory. Girls toys predominantly exclude the color green,even when including the Rainbow (take g4 for example). G5 introduced something else new; a boy in the mane cast. I feel like as a society we can handle a green girls toy. Rarity is similiar to how she was, though she's much more bashful and aloof.

Rarity prefers to express herself through her fashion and makeup, though is shy in beginning conversations. She would start out the plot working an admin job in the castle, and would be an inside pony for the mane 6 to advance the plot. She would be mostly unaware of the state of things, but quickly become radicalized especially for her friends.

Nicknames include any Rarity went by in g4 plus Rarishy

Moondancer is referenced off her g3 appearance. She is basically an influencer, with her HaySpace page being viral. She takes photos and videos of herself and the world around her, and loves to dance and sing. She is a performer at heart.

Moondancer would start out being unaware and not wanting to get involved, but would eventually be convinced to join the mane group. She would use her massive following to spread awareness once they have proof of the queen being evil.

Nicknames could include Moony, MD, MDance, xXDancing-on-tha-MoonXx ect

Wysteria is inspired by her g3 look, but I've always seen her as a unicorn. This version of her has her as an eco-friendly, crystal enjoying type.

Wysteria enjoys sneaking out of her office to enjoy the gardens. She starts out the story very chill and open, with her being friendly with Sunset before the story begins. She is also friends with Rarity, despite not working in the castle herself.

Nicknames could include Wysty, Wyst, Ria, ect

If you've stuck around this long, thank you! I see this story vividly in my mind, I may one day return to this with a written fanfiction movie if I have time.

Working with Daemons- Amduscias

Credit: Freepik

Amduscias is a daemon described in the Psuedomonarchia Daemonium (and one of those who originates from such), The Lemegeton of The Lesser Key of Solomon, and the Dictionairre Infernal. He barely has any grimoiric appearances, unlike most and many of the Ars Goetia daemons, who appear beyone these known grimoires.

Appearance with me: Amduscias has often appeared as a unicorn, but in recent times during my workings with him, he has appeared as a tan skinned boy with orange eyes, green, curly hair, a green tunic, long green poofy pants and pointy ears. Overall he gave off a “fae vibe”.

What he is good for working with on:

⸙ Familiars

⸙ Nature Magice

⸙ Music

⸙ Dream Magice

⸙ Learning about the Natural Sciences

His Grimoire appearances:

Ars Goetia: AMDUSIAS, or AMDUKIAS. – The Sixty-seventh Spirit is Amdusias, or Amdukias. He is a Duke Great and Strong, appearing at first like a Unicorn, but at the request of the Exorcist he standeth before him in Human Shape, causing Trumpets, and all manner of Musical Instruments to be heard, but not soon or immediately. Also he can cause Trees to bend and incline according to the Exorcist’s Will. He giveth Excellent Familiars. He governeth 29 Legions of Spirits. And his Seal is this, etc.

Sigil:

Psuedomonarchia Daemonum: Amduscias a great and a strong duke, he commeth foorth as an unicorne, when he standeth before his maister in humane shape, being commanded, he easilie bringeth to passe, that trumpets and all musicall instruments may be heard and not seene, and also that trees shall bend and incline, according to the conjurors will, he is excellent among familiars, and hath nine and twentie legions.

Dictionairre Infernal: Amduscias, grand-duke of hell. He has the form of an unicorn but when he is invoked he shows himself in human guise. He gives concerts, if one commands him to do. so; one hears then, without seeing anything, the sound of trumpets and other musical instruments. Trees incline to his voice. He commands twenty nine legions.

Offering Ideas:

Crystals: Green Opal, Moss Agate, Amazonite, Dalmation Jasper (if any of these aren’t able to be ethically sourced, then please don’t buy a crystal offering)

Animals: Unicorns, Bunnies and Squirrels (Both UPG)

Herbs: Chamomile, Lemongrass, Star Anise

Misc: Old Vinyl Records, CDs (even if no one uses em anymore, it’s still a great offering to give!), Playing music for him (depends on what kind he likes in your upg, and what you like as well), Unicorn statues/Imagery, Cedar bark and leaves, anything naturey you find outside such as leaves, animal shells, etc. (make sure it is ethically sourced, complies with your local laws, including the MBTA, and you are sourcing sparingly), musical note imagery, musical instruments (not ones you’re using, of course, and can be as simple as a wooden whistle!)

[echo-of-the-eye]

Dragon prince s7 live thoughts:

These are thoughts I wrote down while watching. They are very rambling and might make no sense. It’s also… very long. I still need time to process my feelings about the season but I’m mostly happy! Spoiler warning obviously.

Ep1:

• Intro: Claudia didn’t turn to stone! Hmmmm.. interesting

• Ethari!! Love the new look. He’s lost all hope nooo:((

• Runaan being manhandled. By an actual human. What’s he thinking rn??

• Rayllum kiss counter: 1!

• New staff for Claudia!

• Callum and Soren hug;-;

• What does aaravos need Claudia for now? Also moon nexus? Is he trying to bring Leola back? Is that possible for a startouch elf?

• A moon opal could take a hundred years to find?? No? Is he just manipulating them or is this stupid? He said moon OPAL right? Not primal stone?

• Sorvus hug! Broyals hug! Everyone gets hugs! Which is good cause this is really sad

• Ok now you’re just showing off aaravos (great designs though)

• Runaan you good? You just ate non illusioned grubs.

• A bit upset we don’t get to see his initial reaction to all this. Especially callum. How is he so chill with everything?

• Aaravos wtf you playing at?? An apple? Really?? Also I don’t think this disguise is that much more subtle

• Yeeessssss ezran! Be mad! Go apeshit! You deserve it!

Ep2:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia.

• Rayla? A bit of sympathy please? He did actually kill their dad. At least don’t feed callum’s abandonment issues (*cough* that you created in the first place)

• I’m kinda with Ezran on this one. I get it Rayla I do. And I don’t want him to be punished either. But still. Also. What’s the difference between an assassin and a murder? Ezran’s got a point. Rayla’s worldview is being challenged. “Oh so he’s a good murder?” Ezran I love you.

• The bread is still weapons grade I see. At least they’ve got jelly tarts

• “I could never ask you to betray your brother” “you don’t have to ask” CALLUM!??!!!?!!

• “I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU” aadafagjggdhs

• Rayllum kiss counter: 2!

• “I never asked for this” Ezran:(((

• Okay Callum is also making some good points

• Soren Rayla rematch let’s goooo!!

• Guess the bread is being put to the test

• Omg aaravos is adorable (never something I thought I’d say)

• Self eating?? Oh god I thought it was just blood magic!

• This is painful. The broyals are fighting:(((

• Terry is pure of heart. No surprise there. Claudia manipulating him…. Ooof

• I love that everything at the banther lodge parallels s1. Right down to the method of escape and the arrows flying

Ep3:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia.

• Alright sunfire plot!

• Ezran’s going through it. I know this is exactly what I asked for but it still hurts

• Thank you tdp for not spreading misinformation about ducks! They should not eat bread

• A secret place in duren? Might this be the same place Claudia and co are going?

• Miyana is pregnant?! Well that’s convenient. I swear if this leads up to her and Karim both being pardoned… I know it’s all about forgiveness but I think that’s a bit far. Forgiveness is great but it can’t always be the answer. Especially when Karim has proven he can’t be trusted with second chances

• The west of xadia used to be magical! I love that! I always found it weird that it was just empty

• Mage wars oooohh!

• Ohh so we’re crushing up unicorn bones now. Neat…

• Oh ok I’m actually kinda liking how they’re doing the Janai Karim plot now. It is in character to try to give him mercy, but I’m glad he refuses it. Stubborn fool

• Ok the place in duren wasn’t the same place

• Death sentence? Damn

Ep4:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia.

• Omgomgomg! Ruthari reunion incoming! I’ve waited years for this!

• MY HEART!!! TOGETHER AT LAST!!!!!!!

• Elf callum!

• Rayllum kiss counter: 3!

• Ok Terry objecting to killing the bird is interesting. Surely he’s seen Claudia do worse? Still. I love how they’re setting up the conflict between him and Claudia and Aaravos. Terry you’re too good for this

• More moonshadow elves!

• Oh Terry;-; I really like this

• Claudia and Terry breakup! It’s been a long time coming

• Rayla is unghosted!!

• “He had to leave, for himself” oh Claudia. Is this her coming to terms with her mother’s choice as well? I feel so bad for her. Terry was right to leave but it still hurts how many times Claudia has been left behind now. (She is the definition of the “everyone leaves me!” And then you find out why)

Ep5:

• Intro: still caudia? Still Claudia.

• Oh Terry wants to join the dragang. Let’s see how that goes

• Two weeks? Hm

• Also I can’t believe after all this time we get callum and the moonfam all together!

• Callum is gonna babysit moonshadow kids!?

• Oh they’re adorable!

• Gren is still censoring Amaya I see

• Omg Soren and Terry bonding! Fighting?Yeesssss!!!

• Love that even though Soren respects him for realizing he was in the wrong side he’s still defending his sister

• Callum with kids! I didn’t know I needed this so badly!

• ASFAFAGAJJSJAKAKAKAOA “callum wants to have ten babies with you” omfg! Callums face!

• What the fuck was that. Did I just hallucinate? I’m getting atla flashbacks (talking about the moonberry surprise thing)

• They’re gonna bring back Lissa? Not sure that will have the desired effect. I think Soren is more likely to be successful

• Rayllum kiss counter: 4!

• Callum you had to jinx it

• Also I really like Astrid. Mainly cause she looks almost exactly like how my Httyd oc looks in my tdp au

Ep6:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia.

• Aaravos I don’t think Leola would want that

• I don’t like how Aaravos is in disguise the whole time. There hasn’t even been anyone around. Show us our gorgeous bastard please! It’s like they had a quota of how often he could be on screen or his beauty would be too much

• Oh callum:(

• Oh what?! Another dark callum confrontation! Really hope this doesn’t mean dark callum is only a hallucination/dream and we won’t see actual callum do dark magic again, but I’m still loving this!

• Is? Is lissa real? Cause if so I’m not sure how I feel about this.

• Ok yeah lissa is an illusion I knew it

• Lujanne!? No! I feared this would happen

• Aww:( so real callum didn’t get to say the however dangerous however vile line:(

• Lujanne still lives!

• Really? Aaravos? Don’t you have like? Magic? This can’t actually be a threat to you. Was it really that easy? I know this isn’t the end obviously but what? I feel like they haven’t shown exactly how big a threat he is

• Sir sparklepuff!

Ep7:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia.

• “No army can stand up to a startouch titan” well apparently katolis can. Though I really hope that’s just aaravos tricking them

• Oh and now they need karim. Lovely

• Runaan! He took a hit for callum! Wow he adjusted quick!

• Holy shit callum! The blood freezing spell! Damn

• Really hoped the mage battle between callum and Claudia would be longer and more epic:(

• Oh fuck yeah callum! It seems we are heading that way! Yessss!!!

• Ok so it seems katolis did actually manage to overwhelm aaravos which I don’t like. How is he relying on the spirits to free him? He should be more powerful. Show us he’s a serious threat

• OH FUCK. THE MAGMA TITAN! Oof that hurts

• WHAT!!!??!! AVIZANDUM!!!!

Ep8:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia.

• Did Astrid do star magic? “Stella” means star. But she’s a sky elf? I know the celestial elves are very connected to the stars but does that mean they have a star arcanum?

• So they managed to get to the sun orb pretty easily. So why did they never fix it? They said they tried and it was too difficult but they’re doing it now. Except you know. They’re destroying it

• Oh god dammit karim!

• HOLY SHIT! FUCK YEAH AARAVOS!! SQUISH THE BASTARD!! He had it coming (thought he was about to eat him too lol)

• Rex igneous!

• Aaravos going from calling Claudia an asset to “the only light in this world”. He genuinely cares about her? He says she reminds him of Leola which makes sense

• Let there be dark

• They found the novablade! Bit disappointed it was that easy but still cool. I thought it was gold though? It was in the poster

• Does aaravos have no magic?? He did (primal) magic through viren in s2 when he was imprisoned. Why is he so powerless now??!?? I get the arch dragons are actual threats to him and that’s fine but he shouldn’t be this weak

• Ok so he did like one spell. Still not as powerful as he’s been set up to be

• REX!??!!! Damn

• Rayllum kiss counter: 6!

• Final battle! Let’s go!

• Damn stella! Brutal!

• Domina!

• Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck!!!!!!! Runaan promised to kill callum!!!

• Ok so obviously Callum imprisoning him and then being killed won’t happen. There’s an episode left and Ezran is prob on his way with the nova blade. Also they won’t kill Callum. My prediction is they’re gonna kill Aaravos cause that sets up his return for a possible third arc. I’m not sure I really want that to happen but I feel like that’s where they’re going. I think I prefer Callum using dark magic to imprison him (without being killed somehow) cause I’m a sucker for dark Callum, but I doubt that will happen. Welp, let’s see!

Ep9:

• Intro: still Claudia? Still Claudia. So no Callum this season:(

• Ezran riding zym!

• Zym??!?! Well that’s convenient

• Rayla!? “My heart for xadia” IM SOBBING

• Is it weird I kinda want them to go through with it? Killing Callum? I know they won’t. But it’s exactly my type of tragedy and it would be so good

• He’s doing it!?!!!!

• What?? Nooo. Avizandum?

• WHITE STREAK!!!

• “I will not watch another daughter die”

• Ooo storm spire

• Zubeia!!?!

• Ok so I was right. They kinda half assed it but I’m glad Callum at least tried to do dark magic. Even though I didn’t like that it didn’t work. It’s clear they wanted to kill Aaravos so he could come back in a potential third arc, but they still wanted Callum to actually do something. So… yeah I’m not sure how I feel. I wanted Callum to do it but it feels weird that it was for nothing. But tdp is kinda a master of building up something really cool and tragic and then not following through:(

• I LOVE THAT CALLUM GOT THE WHITE STREAK THOUGH!! AND ITS PREMANENT!!!

• Are there going to be any actual consequences for it though? Or is it fine cause he didn’t finish? What happened to it will consume you?

• Also what about the cube!?!?!

• So all the arch dragons died?

• BROTHERS!! Reconciliation!

• Gegahishejakak!!! ZYM TALKED?!!!?? Oh god I hate this I hate this so much it feels so wrong! Why is that his voice!??!!?!! I knew it had to happen at some point but it’s still weird

• Miyana had twins

• And so democracy was invented!

• Ok so Claudia is just gonna wait huh

• … is this when we find out bird harrow was real all along?

• WHAT??!?!!!!?!?!!!!!! I WAS JOKING!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING!? THIS CANNOT BE REAL!!! NO PLEASE THEY’RE NOT ACTUALLY DOING THIS!!?!!!??????? Was this actually the plan all along?? It can’t be. This undermines so much. No. I refuse to accept this.

• Are we getting a proposal?!

• Ok we’re not. That’s fine honestly. I like this!

• Rayllum kiss counter: 7!

• Ok the font is way too hard to read but this is really sweet!

• Soooo… seven year time skip right? For the next arc? If we get one. PLEASE NETFLIX LET THERE BE ONE!

And it’s over! I have a lot of thoughts but I still need time to process. There are many things I loved, some things I didn’t, but overall I really liked it! Still can’t believe they went with bird harrow omg. WHY.

Maybe I’ll write down some actual opinions and thoughts when I find out what they are but we’ll see. NETFLIX. GIVE US THE SAGA!!

Here you are! We went back and forth a lot on if this should be just nothing but different Rarity... but we wanted to throw in a friend too. So hopefully Twilight will fit in!

[ask-cinnavanillamelody]

Drive: Venin and Opal have you ever imagined what you look like if you two swapped species or sizes?

Opal: ? We're...the same species. You mean race? I don't want to be a unicorn. No offense to my sister or venin, but it seems like a hassel.

Venin: Wha- well- I wouldn't want to be an earth pony either-!

Opal: oh? and why's that?

Venin: You can only do agriculture, I like my magic and not having to grab things with my mouth.

Opal: At least i'm not a snooty Unicorn prince who can barely lift a haybale without spraining something.

Venin: i- raising haybales is beneath me-! Besides- why would I do manual labor when you're the one with strength??

Opal: but you love my strength.

Venin: your point?

Opal: *smirk* ohhh you think I don't know it but you like being a little prince~

Venin: eh-

Opal: you don't have to admit it, all you unicorns are the same~ You like acting weak and helpless so you can get big strong people like me to help you~

Venin: *blush* that's not- why are you getting closer-

Opal: *pushes Venin to the wall* no I get it~ Cuz while you giggle about your magical power all you really want is somepony with big strong muscles to work your body over like I would plow a field at the farm~ right?~

Venin: *Venin's face flushes red as Opal leans close, his hooves on his waist*

Opal: I gotcha figured out, little prince~ *Opal kisses Venin's neck, then suddenly walks away from him* As for swapping sizes, I worked hard to become this huge hunk of muscle I am now on the outside for years. I don't like being a little twink like somepony else in this room~

Venin: *steam rising off his head* y-yeah what he said-

Opal: Hope that answer's your Question.

What I think OSMU would be in the mlp AU:

Opal: pegasus. Longs to leave the Arctic to find somewhere warmer where she can fly.

Omar: earth pony. Doesn't understand Opal completely, but he agrees with her other reasons and he wants to see the world so there's that.

Oswald: unicorn. Mostly uses his telekinesis for sorting stuff in his job as a library-museum pony, but has been tempted to try out stuff in old spellbooks every so often.

Orla: dunno atm. was very young when the event celebrated on Hearth's Warming Eve occured. Still guards the 44-leaf clover.

Oprah/the Big O is still here and looks WAY more regal than when we last saw her(s2 finale). Like our main 4 are astounded by it when they first see her.

Veering off the OSMU track, I think Olive is protective of Otto, as in canon, but it gets extreme sometimes. Blank flank insult from Oren? She will yeet him across the room with her telekinesis. It takes a lot out of her to lift a whole pony tho. Aside from the fact that Ms. O is an alicorn who could easily overpower her if she tried that, that's why she opted for a stunpulse during "Ms. O Uh-Oh".

Also I wonder if there's some sort of ritual that Directors go through to turn their successors into alicorns. T'would be interesting!

yeah! so i never really got around to watching osmu beyond the few episodes i managed to catch on pbs kids but i know some things and yeah this seems pretty accurate, might have to steal from this haha

anyways yeah mlp Olive is so funny to me, she's pretty good at magic and all that but she's also still into sports and athletic stuff which most don't really expect from a unicorn so sometimes she'll pull stuff like letting someone think she's going to fight them with magic and then opting to kick them across the room horse style or something. Ms. O does stuff like this as well since she was an earth pony first before becoming an alicorn and she has the earth pony strength and resilience and everything. she has a full grip on her alicorn abilities because she's been one for a long while now but she still does stuff like kick holes in walls just because. you do not want to end up in a fight with either of them they have both magic and physical strength and you WILL lose.

and about the alicorn bit i've actually been plotting out some of the alicorn stuff and you got it pretty close with the ritual thing actually! in my mind when a director has to step down or leave for whatever reason they either have to hand off their alicorndom to their successor themselves or they have it revoked by someone else and passed on for them if that makes sense. it's just so that there aren't any random alicorn civilians out there or anything lol. because in my mind at least director level alicorns aren't technically royal alicorns (if they are they're very low ranking) they just have alicorn powers and leader status. however the Big O position does come with royal alicorn status, with their sorta domain being the whole organization since it's all across equestria and everything. so yeah you pretty much got it spot on with the whole idea of Big O Oprah being more regal and powerful looking because she's technically a princess now! she's very small compared to the other princesses but she's a princess nonetheless :)

​i also have some silly facts about alicorn Olive and Otto in particular that i might share later if i feel like it but i don't know if i should wait until i've drawn them or not sdhfjh

DCA Info Part 14: Ceremonial Dorm Sorting and the Freshmen Welcoming Ceremony

The art used is from this post

Ceremonial Dorm Sorting

First years are brought to the throne room by the crystal carriage. The carriage has soft bedding inside of it and the student sleeps soundly as they are transported.

Unlike NRC's carriage that holds coffins, the student is merely slumbering on the bed provided in the carriage, the windows are covered by curtains of course. The carriage is pulled by two unicorns who are trained by the school to retrieve the chosen students.

How the unicorns can traverse through several miles with a student on top of that is a complete mystery.

When the students arrive at the academy, they are placed at the sorting room that actually has two parts. The first half is the large garden where the girls all sleep on the soft grass surrounded by mysterious flowers. While the other half is where the dorm sorting occurs.

The dorm fairies enter the garden where they will use their magic on the flowers that will awaken the students. Then they will lead the students to the dorm sorting area where the staff and the dorm leaders will wait for them.

The room looks like a crystalized ballroom. There is a fountain on the far end at the center and in front of it lies a podium where a jewelry box with a key is placed. The walls have stained glass portraits of the ten princesses where the dorm leaders will have to stand by their respective window as the dorm sorting commences.

The Royal Jewelry Box

This is a magical tool that is the prized possession of the academy, much like the Dark Mirror in NRC.

The jewelry box will only be opened by the key that is always next to it. Even though it seems like others might be able to open it easily, it won't be as simple as that.

The jewelry box has a sentience of its own and will only let the key be used to whomever it deems worthy. Anyone unworthy who tries to pick up the key would feel hot iron on their skin.

Trying to pry it open wouldn't work either and even if you drop a heavy weight on it, the box will still be in good condition.

The students will be called one by one to turn the key of the jewelry box where they will gain a jewel. This jewel will be placed on their head which will magically turn into a crown that they will wear alongside their Ceremonial Gowns.

The crown's design is based on the dorm, said design is the same for all the students of that particular dorm.

Ceremonial Crowns

🍎 Pommeneige's crown has a tree branches incorporated in it's design and has a ruby jewel.

👠 Glastanzerin's crown has a small castle incorporated in it's design and has an opal gem.

🐰 Futterwacken's "crown" consists of a flower wreath with an ametrine gem.

🌹 Rosadormienti's crown has roses and thorns incorporated in it's design and has a rose quartz gem.

🐠 Coquille's crown has seashells incorporated in it's design and has purple colored pearl.

📚 Chateau Beastiale's crown has a design reminiscent of the Beast's horns and has a topaz jewel.

🏝️ Magiaoasis's crown has swirly lines incorporated in it's design and has a sapphire jewel.

🐲 Dragonstone's crown has a dragon incorporated in it's design and has a garnet jewel.

🍂 Sagamore's crown has leaves incorporated in it's design and has an amber jewel.

🐸 Lagniappe's crown has lily pads incorporated in it's design and has an emerald gem.

The purpose of the tiara is to signify the dorm the student belongs to. Other than that it's necessary to wear the Ceremonial Crown during occasions where it is mandatory to wear their Ceremonial Gowns.

As for the rings, they will acquire those alongside the crown, as they are given by the school alongside their uniforms for both campus and dorm wear.

The rings are made with magic and can shrink or enlarge to fit the size of the finger the student chooses to wear it on.

The Freshmen Welcoming Ceremony

As the name implies, it is a ceremony to welcome the new students to Diamond Crown Academy. During the ceremony, the dorm tenants have to wear their coronation robes. But only the dorm leaders go to the throne chamber while the tenants have to make sure the welcoming party goes smoothly.

🍎 Pommeneige

The Pommeneige dorm prepares a nice warm meal such as potato and sausage stew, apple dumplings, gooseberry pie and apple cider. These dishes are essential to serve because of the princess who served the seven dwarfs the same dish as a sign of gratitude. So the students eat the meal along with the dwarfs who make them selves comfortable at the dinner table, chatting with the students and sometimes playing around. After eating, the students gather outside and they watch the dwarfs sing and dance. Sometimes the students will be tempted to join in and sing along. Then they share stories about anything they could think of before the day ends.

👠 Glastanzerin

The Glastanzerin dorm gathers the tenants to the large dining hall where there's tea and small cakes to be eaten while they make small talk. The cakes are decorated with fruits coated with nappage glaze. Afterwards, they are lead to a ballroom where the golden statues of noblemen come to life when the clock strikes 8 pm. The students then dance with the statues or just stand around and chat. The ball ends at midnight where the statues go back to their original positions and become inanimate. once again.

🐰 Futterwacken

The Futterwacken dorm will hold a chaotic tea party. They bring out the chocolate fountain that is built with several spouts that are shaped like teapots. The fountain produces about five different syrup flavors, strawberry, chocolate, cream, caramel, and maple syrup. The food they serve is a variety of tarts, waffles and cupcakes that can be decorated using several sprinkles and candies near the fountain. There's also non-dessert dishes served like scotch dodo egg, mushroom stew and tiny-to-large-sandwiches. The drinks are pink lemonade and minty earl gray tea. The teapots dance to the tune of the flowers as they sing, "All in the Golden Afternoon", where even the shrubs and trees would sway to the tune. The flowers take this chance to leave their pots and dance around the students and sometimes stand on the student's head.

🌹 Rosadormienti

For Rosadormienti, the fairies of the dorm would come out and dance about in the air and give minor blessings to the newcomers that last throughout the school year. The blessings can range from luck to protective spells to even small gifts that carry mysterious properties. The students then hold acapella shows where they sing popular songs that have the students joining in too. The dorm isn't too extravagant with the welcoming ceremony but they have fun nonetheless. When the students are asleep, the flowers release glittering pollen that gives them pleasant dreams and help them relax.

🐠 Coquille

The sea creatures and students of the Coquille dorm would attend a musical performance that the upperclassmen would prepare with the dorm leader at the center stage. They do synchronized swimming alongside other sea creatures, they finish it off with the crystal on the roof shining bright. After the performance, the freshmen students have to show their musical capabilities by doing an idol performance of their song of choice. They can perform solo or with a group if they wish. Then afterwards is the tour of the dorm where they show them their dorm rooms as well as a special visit to the Pearl Salon.

📚 Chateau Beastiale

The Chateau Beastiale dorm will of course hold a grand feast courtesy of Gustove and his floating plates accompanied by a singing chandelier. The song, "Be Our Guest", is a song that has been considered a tradition for the furniture to sing. The dishes are a variety of french cuisine and desserts for the students to enjoy. After the magnificent dinner, the students are allowed to roam about and get acquainted with one another. The freshmen are surprised that they get their own talking wardrobe, the wardrobes spend the first hour talking about what style would the student prefer so that they may do their duty to utmost perfection.

🏝️ Magiaoasis

The Magiaoasis dorm would hold their welcoming feast at the dorm's large garden area where the flamingos, peacocks and parrots would fly about and do whatever they please, occasionally a parrot or two would fly close to the students to ask for a small snack before flying off. The feast has a large spread of Middle Eastern cuisine such as, manakeesh, shawarma, baklava, and zainab fingers, with coffee and limon ou nana as refreshments. The feast isn't too extravagant but the calming atmosphere of the sunset with the sounds of chirping birds makes it feel like home.

🐲 Dragonstone

In the case of the Dragonstone dorm, there is a welcoming parade done by the dragons of the dorm, they dance and throw a golden ball around like some sort of game. The climax of the parade is when the ball is thrown high up and it explodes into a bright array of fireworks. After that, the students eat in the dining hall with the dorm leader giving a welcoming speech. The dinner isn't filled with dancing or anything, it's more of lively chatter that paints the image of a large family gathering. There's chinese hotpot, dumplings, peking duck, chow mein and wontons as the main course. Chinese snowflake cake, sticky rice cake, accompanied with complimentary fortune cookies for dessert.

🍂 Sagamore

The Sagamore dorm is more of a less grand impression but it involves students given the reminder of the harmony with the land and it's gifts. The saying, take only what you need and nothing more. There is a table filled with plenty of food such as, roasted turnips and winter squash, turkey with berry-mint sauce, and chia pudding with berries and amaranth for dessert. But they don't eat yet, they have to wait for the dorm leader to hunt one bison for the bison pot roast. The dorm leader goes to hunt for a bison but there is a strict rule that the dorm leader follows if she hunts for a bison, do not kill a female or a baby bison, and the leader of the herd must be left alone. Only hunt a male that isn't a leader, the bisons in this world have certain features that determine the leader such as large horns and a magical rune that symbolizes leader on it's body. When the dorm leader returns with a bison, the students the have the freshmen help with the preparation of cooking the bison pot roast. From there, the dorm leader gives thanks to the blessings of the earth and they tell stories while they eat.

🐸 Lagniappe

The Lagniappe dorm will always start with a jazz band playing classic jazz music or jazz covers. There's dancing and singing in the dorm, the fireflies circle around the boat as the students party.  Of course there's going to be food! The famous Gumbo made by the historical figure is to die for, beignets, jambalaya and king cake. Every dish made has to be followed accordingly to the recipes of the princess and the way she did it. Afterwards, the fireflies disperse and put on a light show for them. The animals in the swamp emerge as if to welcome the new students to the dorm. The frogs jump aboard the boat and stick close to the students as if they want to watch the show with them, this is a normal occurrence so the students are reminded to keep in mind of the frogs.

The Dragon Prince Artificer: A Hypothetical Character Idea

Something I've always sort of wondered about the human kingdoms in The Dragon Prince is why they aren't more technologically advanced than they are. I mean, it would make sense given their relative lack of access to magic, they would likely put some degree of focus on technological development to compensate. Sure, there's dark magic, but due it to requiring magic components that have to be harvested and the mage wars happening last time there was a large amount of mages, it seems probable that there's self imposed limitations on proliferation of Dark Magic to prevent over harvesting and potential magical warfare. Plus, without healing magic derived from the sun arcanum, it seems probable that medical advancement would be a priority among human scholars. I could also the lack of magic induced need for development leading to the development of the scientific method and an overall more analytical way of understanding phenomenon compared to Xadia. This could also lead to a more scientific approach to studying primal magic and a great drive in human mages to create new spells and even find ways to combine magic with existing technology.

So, having laid the groundwork, here's my idea: a character from one of the human kingdoms who is a prodigious inventor and alchemist who's made great achievements in various fields despite his young age. I haven't settled on a name yet, but for sake of simplicity, let's just call him Albedo (you know, like the alchemical concept). Now, Albedo, being something of a renaissance man, has studied magic to the best his resources will allow, having learned dark magic somewhat covertly to avoid having to deal with a lengthy apprenticeship, however, he finds himself frustrated by the impracticality inherent in dark magic. I mean, you go out, trek for miles, possibly into hostile Xadian territory, and for what? A reagent that you may not ever use. That's to say nothing of the actual physical toll it exerts on its user. So, he still uses dark magic, but in moderation and with a general disdain for how inefficient it is.

However, things change when Albedo gets his hands on an earth primal stone. Given primal magic's ease of use and efficiency, Albedo instantly sets out to master this new, wonderful tool. However, after a few close calls where the primal stone almost breaks, Albedo gets to wondering if he can figure out how to make more of them. Sure the unicorns were hunted to extinction during the mage wars and the rituals to bind natural forces to them lost to time, but at the end of the day, a primal stone is still a physical object with properties that can be analyzed. Furthermore, Albedo reasons, things like moon opals are naturally occurring stones which contain primal power and dark magic proves that humans can take magical energy from something (reagents) and put into something else (the dark mage). So, based on these principals, Albedo sets out to understand how primal stones are created and, along the way, learns how to use magic to augment his inventions.

As for the personality, I envision a character like Albedo would be fairly level headed, if fiercely independent and stubborn. In contrast to most of the protagonists, I imagine Albedo to be the sort of character who started out in poverty, maybe as an orphan, and had to relentlessly work to get where he is, so I can see him having a good work ethic and not thinking much of those he thinks haven't gotten where they are through merit. I could also see him being naturally skeptical and antisocial, being the sort of person who prefers working alone and has an aloof demeanor and penchant for sarcastic comments. I could also see him being distrustful of Xadia as a political entity since, from his view, they haven't exactly had humanity's best interests in mind in the past, though he is pragmatic enough to work with individual Xadians, mostly elves, to achieve his goals and genuinely appreciates the craftsmanship of elves. Also, as a side note, I think it would be kind of funny if he were an albino and thus contsantly mistaken for a powerful dark magic much to his chagrin.

Watching the first of opal's episodes and. Wow this is the most ridiculous shit. Magical unicorn rainbow adventure episode. Impidimp in the anime is incredible. Goh is just ash 2.0 and I can't stand him either. Opal herself is an absolute fucking delight. Old woman shows up to lost children in the woods to fuck with them and not be helpful

I colored in my proportionate Rarity sketch, plus redesigned Sweetie Belle and Opal! ft. Opal in air jail, magic color reveal, and name reveal!! The characters in my AU follow a specific naming tradition, which required me to give both of them a first name.

[ID: A smaller unicorn with a mauve coat and off-white hair with pink streaks. She has pink heart-shaped patches on her front shoulders and back knees, yellow stylized horseshoes, a pink stripe on the front of her horn, blue and teal eyes. her cutie mark is two eighth notes, one smaller and one bigger.

A white tabby cat is drawn twice. she's fluffy, grouchy, has one yellow eye and one blue, and is wearing a purple collar with an opal hanging off it. on one drawing she is sitting on the ground, in the other she is being lifted into the air with magic.

the last drawing is a unicorn with a black coat and off-white hair wearing gold stylized horseshoes and bracelets, and a gold chain on her glasses that have red cateye frames. : end ID]
