u dont understna.d . alnst az same. samd. The Paralllell

[blankie-greenie-anon]

I'm surprised to see so many posts and comments from A/Z fans hoping that the upcoming Episode 24.5 would show Slaine being free and happy, because that doesn't happen in Episode 24.5 of A/Z. Was Episode 24.5 not common knowledge within the fandom?

Anyway, I'm hoping this content is animated, but I also expect it to just be an audio drama. But if it can be animated, I also want to hope for an animated version of the Magical Girl Seylum tracks!

Asseylum and Lemrina ponyfications

Some notes under the cut (very disorganized), as well as the transparents of the designs

Asseylum Vers Allusia

Alicorn name: Princess of Peace, Golden Dream, aka "Goldie"

Changeling name:  Changeling Princess Labellum, aka "Bell"

Yeah so making her role Peace was a pretty easy decision. In fact, I think that it's kind of funny (in a sad way) that her methods would have worked so much better in the MLP:FiM universe. Girl was born in the wrong world fr

Dove with an olive branch for a cutie mark. I think that's an easily readable symbol of peace. Had to make it gold only bc it would've blended in with her fur coat too much otherwise.

Its eye is closed because Seylum's peacekeeping efforts are too naive to be functional. She brings forth peace but she's blind to what she's doing

Having a "new" changeling design on a "queen" bodytype looks a bit weird to me, personally, but I wasn't going to make her look like a drone so we work with what we have

Also yes, I did turn her necklace into a part of her body on the changeling design, lol

Did I name her "idealistic"? Yes I did. Well, it's more liek a combination of her appearance (her golden hair), her naivete and how, in the beginning of the story, she just kind of represents comforting escapism in how kind and sheltered she is. Very comforting, very impractical. Cloth mom friend.

Originally I was going to name her Elysian Fields (not just idyllic, but literally heavenly. And also for nearly kicking the bucket two times. Girl is literally chilling on the edge of the afterlife for a good portion of the story lmao), but I couldn't find a good nickname for it so I scrapped the idea

Labellum is a mouthpart of mosquitoes and flies and such. I don't have anything smart to say here, I mostly picked that name bc it sounds similar to her human name. Also because it's easy to shorten to Bell, which can easily work as (part of) a pony name for her disguise <3

Lemrina Vers Envers

Alicorn name: Princess of Mimesis, Mirrorveil

Changeling name: Changeling Princess Elytra

So. Mimesis is primarily an art term, meaning a reflection of reality in art. This is about her being an impostor and a copycat, both for political and personal reasons. And also about her trying to create a facsimile of a found family on the Moon Base. Playing house, creating a narrative that doesn't exist. It's also a little bit informed by the Mimetic Desire theory (but only a little bit), specifically in terms of how the formation of Martian community in heneral, and Moon Base community in particular could be related to the concept. There's something to be said that Lemrina is not the one who mirrors other people's desires most. Slaine is. In fact, it's Lemrina (along with Harklight and the others) kind of imposing their desires onto Slaine through S2

I think (for both iterations) all four of her legs, as well as her wings, are too weak to support her body in normal gravity. She can sit upright, though her front legs get tired relatively quickly. But what's more troubling, switching beteen sitting and laying down puts a huge strain on her leg muscles. She could pull that off without external help by levitating herself a little bit while changing her pose, but in general, it's more comfortable for her to stay laying down. As such, I imagine her wheelchair design ought to be more sofa-shaped instead of a traditional wheelchair

As an alicorn, she is a blank flank. I imagine spending her entire life on the moon base, barely interacting with other people aside from a handful of servants, and having no way to experiment with what interests her, I imagine she'd have a hard time figuring out her special talent. She's good at mimicry, yes, but that's not who SHE is, you know?

Mirrorveil is literally two words smashed together. Mirror for her impersonating Asseylum AND trying to connect with Slaine through shared ostracization. Veil is an obscurant. Both for the lie that she perpetuates by stealing Asseylum's identity, and for the lie that she believed while Slaine was leading her on. Girl both confuses other people and is herself blinded. Also, bride's veil, for her failed engagement </3 But mostly I just liked the sound of these two words smashed together

Elytra is the hard-shelled outer wings of an insect. I wanted to name her after a part that's supposed to keep an insect's wings safe, but hers are in tatters. Just as how she wants to protect her home but is helpless to do so

Anyway, RIP Lemrina, you would have loved both Princess Luna and Queen Chrysalis. Moon girl jealous little sister? Impersonating a princess and trying to take the love that she gets for herself through a fake marriage? It's prefect. Also what made me think of this concept in the 1st place

Miscellaneous notes:

I could have given them both full dresses, ponies wear those, BUT I didn't want to. I like ponies better when theyre largely unclothed but accessorized

I think I like the alicorn designs more, but I like the idea of them as changelings better

In terms if other characters, Inaho would be a unicorn, while Slaine would, of course, be a bat pony. Maybe I'll draw them and a bunch of other characters at some point. No promises

Don't ask about the lore implications. If I had to make it make sense I'd explode

And here are the transparent designs

So you wanna be a manbun

re: a list of existing male mods to play as a male Viera because SE just pulled A Dumb™ 

male Miqo’te → male Viera

imo the neatest conversion with the most room for modded customization, though it does have the downside of a very small character even at max height without other 3rd party tools

Viera Ears: 

“Patch 5.1″ by Foxeatr

Face:

“Male Clanless” by Seylum

“Beebo’s Anime Boyfriends” by Beebo

“Make Me Cute” by Cemiapajarhov

Tail: 

“Stubby Kitten Tail” by Snowfox120

“Tail Removal for Male Miqo’tes” by Myopicat

male Au Ra → male Viera

there are some visible seamlines and the compatible face options are pretty limited, but this can work for those who’d want a more imposing character

Viera Ears:

“Patch 5.1″ by Foxeatr

(optional) Face:

“Au Ra Ken Doll Faces” by phy’s neko

Body:

“Scaleless Au Ra Men” by Sapphire  + “True Scaleless Male Au ra” by Sosi

((You will need both mods AND this combo will ONLY work for face 1, jaw 1, mouth 1 male Au Ra))

male Midlander → male Viera

requires least amount of mods and offers a ton of facial options + a decent height range with the tradeoff of being limited to hairstyles that covers your character’s human ears

Viera Ears:

“Patch 5.1″ by Foxeatr

(optional) Face:

“Ikemen Paradise Male Face Retextures” by Blackjaque

►►How do I use mods?

get this and read the tutorials

►►Only one ear option?

Theres probably going to be more once folks can rip the player character ones

►►Can the other males be modded into Viera? 

Yep, I just found these 3 to be the best bases while building my bun

►►I can’t/don’t want to mod!

In a perfect world SE wouldn’t have gone back to 1.0′s bullshit and I wouldn’t have to make a list of ways to frankenstein a bunny together... but here we are. 

If you are unhappy with the omission of male Viera let SE know!!! Twitter threads & tumblr rants don’t mean shit. If you speak english, post/complain/rant on the EN official forums in the big megathread, have your EU/JP friends to post about them on their forums, and ask for male Viera at live Q&As/FATEs/other fan events.

Post-canon InaSure: How I'd write their time in the prison

I'm bad at math, so it took me a long time to realize Inaho waited months to tell Slaine he was requested by Asseylum to save him from the "cycle of misery".

This means Inaho watched Slaine decline for months before the latter finally gave him a clue to what — or who — could possibly improve this situation. Inaho was likely trying on his own to improve Slaine's state, but in the end, he needed Asseylum's help.

Consequently, Inaho concludes Slaine would only live for Asseylum, so he decides to make no mention of his own reasons to save Slaine. However, this posed another problem, which is Slaine thinks no one besides Asseylum, whom he saw as this goddess of mercy, would ever care about him.

Inaho and Slaine eventually have argument because of that. Perhaps Slaine was having a Bad™ mental health day, and Inaho brought up Asseylum to lift his spirits, leading to disastrous results. The argument prompts Slaine to end the visit early and Inaho to leave in a huff.

Yuki was driving Inaho that day, so she asks what happened since she could tell Inaho was upset. Only while talking to Yuki does Inaho figure out why Slaine got mad, and after that, he gets Yuki to turn the car around.

Because Inaho just suddenly returned, the guards weren't ready to bring Slaine back to the table. Inaho doesn't care. He goes straight to the cell, finding Slaine curled up on the bed.

"Slaine," he calls to him from outside. It was the first time he didn't say his whole name, and that made Slaine stiffen. "Slaine, look at me. Please."

Carefully, hesitantly, Slaine gets up and turns to Inaho. "What, Kaizuka Inaho?"

"It's true that I wouldn't be doing this if Seylum-san never asked me to," said Inaho matter-of-factly, "because I would have either killed you or let you die at the Moon Base."

Of course Slaine scowls, absolutely thinking, 'I knew it! I was waiting for you to admit that!'

However, Inaho then said in a quiet, sincere tone, "And I'm glad I didn't have to. From the moment we met, I never wanted you to be my enemy. I still don't."

Within a second of hearing that, Slaine's expression softens, and he says, "Well, there's a little problem with that." When Inaho quirks his brow in confusion, Slaine continues with a small smile, "We've stopped being enemies a long time ago."

Inaho's eyes widened a little. "We have?"

"Yeah." Slaine gets up from the bed and walks until he's right in front of the partition between him and Inaho. "So what do you want now?"

"I... I don't know. Yet. I'll have to think about it."

"Sure. Tell me tomorrow."

"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow, Slaine."

"See you... Inaho."

The next day, Inaho tells Slaine he wants to be his friend, except he realizes that their current relationship as visitor/warden and solitary prisoner, respectively, isn't conducive for developing a friendship where both parties are on equal footing.

Hence, Inaho unfolds his plan to have Slaine released on parole with Yuki as his parole officer, which he thinks is possible if he argues in UFE court that Slaine was an impressionable minor during the war and therefore deserves more leniency than an adult criminal.

And it works.
