... Not only are there no John Carstares/Jim fics on Ao3, there is a grand total of ONE (1) fic for The Black Moth AT ALL. I am bereft.

Georgette Heyer wrote a book and made a villain who was by far the least boring character in the book (she was 19, its fine) and called him Tracy. Then she thought hmm, maybe that was weird, so she wrote and published a Totally Not A Sequel in which every single character is the exact same as in Tracy's book and have lived through the events detailed in it, but it is Not a sequel because, you see, they have different names now and two of them are not related anymore. The Totally Not A Sequel exists to take Unboring Villain Totally Not Tracy (40?) and give him a redemption arc to be a milquetoast romance hero to a teenager. Old romances are Like This, and honestly I can get past a lot, but.

did she really have to rename him fucking.

The Black Witch Moth for moth week - I saw this one recently at Latta Nature Preserve and wasn't aware it existed until then. It portends good luck! Or bad luck, depending on the tradition. Apparently it shimmers with iridescent blue tones in certain lights.

" Out of the Depths of Hell and back, The spawn of the Black and White! "

I FINALLY fucking finished this ohhh my god, this has been MONTHS in the making, I cannot BELIEVE I'm finished.

I wanted to hone in on the Theme that I THINK they were trying to set up originally, of highschool stereotypes, in these redesigns because I feel like they didn't... Translate like they wanted it to in the show? So I tweaked it a bit and made it (maybe?) a bit clearer what each stereotype they are?

Explanations and Close-ups / Stand-alones below the cut! (In no particular Order)

I tried to keep some things consistent across all the brothers, to show that they are all connected in some way. So they all get a point of Fur / hair and a few spots of glitter. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't. I also tried to make them... Approximately human, but I couldn't help myself with some Features like ears, teeth or Horns. Whoops.

The Jock / Prep, Wiggly I wanted to uh. Un-Twinkify him. But also make him a sort of Jock-ish type? My brother pointed out that he was probably supposed to be a Preppy originally, but I has already almost finished this design by then so uhhhh he's a jock now. His Crown? Uhhh. Cause he's. The king.. of.... the........ School?....?

The Theater Kid, Pokey I actually really liked his original design, I thought it worked pretty well with what they were trying to communicate, so I didn't change it very much, aside from moving the Fur around from his Hat to his Collar and sleeves. He was also the First one I drew out because of that.

The Cheerleader, Nibbly THE NIBBLY!!!!!!!!! I love love love this one, defo my favorite out of them all. He's not... AS Cheerleader-looking as I wanted him to be, but honestly I like him too much to try to change it now. I also really liked his Original design, and didn't really change much, apart from moving some stuff around and adding some stuff. Kissing him on his bigass Pigtailed head.

The Quiet Kid, Blinky Originally, in the Show Design, I didn't know what Blinky was supposed to be. I tried a LOT of designs for him, and was never really happy with any of them, because I still wanted them to have the Essence of their Show Designs, and I. Didn't like Blinky's design at all in the Show Proper. I'm still not really happy about it, but what can you do. I gave him a Watcher World shirt for fun (And because I LOVE Watcher World!!!) He's also the only one that doesn't have any fur on him because I. Didn't know where to add it, so just pretend his Hair is some fur of some kind.

The Weird Kid, Tinky I didn't understand what Tinky was supposed to be in the Show Proper either, but he gave the vibes of someone who would be really into Scene and Emo stuff, and who would Naruto run in the hallways, and get Cheap goggles from those Knock-off stands at Cons, so that's exactly what I made him. I'm also really happy with his Design, if I'll be honest.

Thanks for reading all of that Jesus Christ you really didn't have to.

oh yeah, sorry.

a cutie mark is a thing from the show My Little Pony. it is a symbol that appears on ponies when they find their lives true calling. this typically happens when they are young but for some may take longer. there is actually a stigma around being a “Blank Flank” for too long, which is the name for a pony that doesnt have a cutie mark yet.

There are three types of ponies in MLP, Earth ponies, which are regular horses. Pegasus, which have wings. and Unicorns, which have horns and can wield magic.

even though only unicorns can wield magic, all types of pony contain magic. its theorized that pegasus can only fly because of magic, and that earth ponies are stronger due to magic, but this isnt really confirmed in the show. additionally, there is another kind of pony, an Alicorn. they contain the magic of all three types and are extremely rare and very powerful. Alicorns are created, and only one has been born in recorded history.

anyway. what is your cutie mark and what type of pony are you?
