Sysmed Horribly Misunderstanding My Little Pony!

This is gonna be fun!

Let's see how this sysmed thinks the ponies would respond to endogenic systems!

And... right out of the gate, they've instantly torpedoed their own argument. It's almost impressive how quickly they managed that.

For anyone who hasn't watched My Little Pony, Pinkie Pie has an ability she calls the Pinkie Sense, where she will start twitching in ways that can predict the imminent future in some way, such as warning her about things falling or when there's a crocodile in the bathtub.

The first episode this appears in is Feeling Pinkie Keen which revolves around Twilight not believing in Pinkie's Pinkie Sense because it seems too farfetched. It challenges Twilight's understanding of how the world works so she rejects it outright!

One could draw parallels between Twilight's initial actions in this episode and system medicalism.

By the end of the episode, Twilight learns to accept that there are some things in the world that can be true even if she can't necessarily explain them.

Mentioning Pinkie Pie's Pinkie Sense only serves to highlight how Pinkie being anti-endo would make zero sense for her character.

I genuinely question your understanding of anything in the show if you think Fluttershy is going to take a "this group of people existing isn't nice" stance.

Like, this is the girl who befriended the embodiment of chaos.

But... you think she'd be so hateful as to say this about a group of people just because they're plural for reasons other than trauma? Really?

Why would Applejack reach this conclusion?

I mean, for starters, in-universe, the first episode has them fighting Nightmare Moon who is an alternate personality of Luna. Luna/Nightmare Moon could definitely be seen as a non-traumagenic system.

Or at least close enough that I can't imagine Applejack would have reason to doubt other non-traumagenic systems.

Even if you stripped that experience away from her though, Applejack would not be the type to doubt someone's personal experiences for no reason.

Additionally, we see in the Pinkie Sense episode that Applejack is one of the strongest believers in the Pinkie Sense, not needing to understand it to trust that it works.

Meanwhile, what do you think Applejack would think of sysmeds?

Because the entire sysmed philosophy is based on dishonesty. They will claim again and again that you need trauma to be plural. They will say it's scientifically impossible to be plural without trauma. That plurality can only be caused by disorders. But they have absolutely no sources for this claim, and THEY KNOW IT.

At best, they will try to overwhelm you with sources that don't back up their points at all. Usually, random articles saying DID is usually caused by trauma (not even saying "always") but won't address non-disordered plurality at all.

And most sysmeds respond to being corrected on facts not by acknowledging those corrections and accepting that they were wrong, but by BLOCKING the people who correct them. See the OP as an example, who falsely claimed "plural" was popularized on Tumblr, was corrected by a user, and subsequently blocked for it.

Applejack isn't just honest, but she's also pretty good at sniffing out dishonesty in others.

Do you honestly think Applejack would look at sysmed arguments and decide they were honestly representing their facts?

I don't have much to say about these beyond pointing out the overall theme of these screenshots which is that the OP isn't actually writing how the Mane Six would respond to endogenic systems, but is writing their own opinions on endogenic systems in the voices of the characters.

These characters, on the whole, are pretty accepting ponies.

Keep in mind, it took all of a few seconds in the Equestria Girls movie to convince the human versions of the characters that Twilight was actually from a magical pony dimension. To be fair, the talking dog helped. But overall, the ponies are all very open-minded and accepting of new idea.

This is pretty consistently shown throughout the series.

🙄

You know, of all the ponies to be anti-endo, I actually do think Twilight would be the most likely to be, based on how she behaved in Feeling Pinkie Keen.

But by the end of the episode, Twilight learns her lesson and becomes more open-minded.

Even if we were dealing with Twilight before that episode though, Twilight has something anti-endos don't. Which is a brain.

First, if Twilight had access to studies on endogenic plurality and read the opinions on academic on the subject, like those in this document...

I think she would have no problem accepting endogenic plurality. I have no doubt that Twilight would read through every single academic paper in the doc, then track down all the sources for those papers and read them too.

But even if not for those studies, Twilight still wouldn't just disbelieve in endogenic systems the way sysmeds do.

See, even when Twilight was skeptical about something, when she was certain that Pinkie Pie was wrong, she didn't stop there. She wanted to prove that she was right. She conducted experiments. She observed her target closely.

A sysmed would just say that you're wrong, and try to shame you for your beliefs so that you would conform. But Twilight needed evidence.

She needed to prove to herself that it wasn't true.

If Twilight Sparkle wanted to prove that endogenic systems didn't exist, what do you think she would actually do?

Do you think she would be content to say this for certain without testing it?

Here's my take on it:

I think that Twilight would respond by trying to make a headmate herself. Provide her with a good tulpamancy guide, and I think she would experiment with herself, trying to make a tulpa just to prove it wouldn't work.

But remember that even that scenario... it assumes a world where Twilight hadn't encountered Nightmare Moon and Princess Luna, and wouldn't relate them to endogenic systems. It assumes a world where Twilight would have some sort of pre-existing bias against the possibility of non-traumagenic systems and have a false belief that all systems are caused by trauma. And it assumes a world where she also didn't have access to the research into non-traumagenic that would show her that this is something many reputable doctors have supported.

Remember, sysmeds have been provided links to academic papers affirming endogenic plurality's existence time and time again. They deny these studies and cling to willful ignorance out of sheer, irrational hatred.

Not one of the Mane Six would support the hate inherent in system medicalism. I frankly can't think of any characters in the show who would.

The Mane Six would be pro-endo!

Deal with it!

🌖AUÏ PLEASE I BEG YOU!!!!!!

Also

🌑-any oc

🌒-ruse AND Caius

🌠-the goat

☄️-Ran!!

☀️-magic

🌕- Ruse, Magic, Goat, Auï, Ran

🌖 - What is your OC’s favorite scent? Is it nostalgic? 

Auï - pancakes :3 if you unleashed him in a Bath and Body Works he would look for the autumn scents and go for something baking, but preferably pancakes (should note pancakes are also one of his favorite foods) It is a bit nostalgic for him! definitely reminds him of both of his homes

🌒 - Under what circumstances is your OC their most genuine self? 

Ruse - Ruse is honestly quite often her most genuine self, but the thing is no one ever believes she is being genuine! she truly is a very quiet, very stumbly and awkward and stilted conversationist, and because of her odd past, most folks think she's hiding something. at worst, they treat her like she's dangerous or manipulative for being just herself :'3 she's truly only becoming more genuine with time, as she learns more about herself and her interests and has the space to indulge in them!

Caius- corny but true answer- when they're with etcetera, or his sister darcy! when they're around Etcetera, they're a lot more talkative and joke easier, quicker to make snarky comments and speak freely! she is def their little emotional support boyfriend just being around Etcetera for a while did get Cai more comfortable with being himself around his other friends too- but etcetera vanishing sorta undid a lot of that, but caius is truly authentic to being terrified of everything and wanting to curl up and cry constantly

🌠 - What is your OC’s greatest desire and how far are they willing to go to obtain it? 

Goat - his greatest desire has always been to keep his friends safe, and he will go to great extremes he absolutely doesn't need to go to if he can give himself a good reason in his mind as to why they should stay with him :3

☄️ - From your OC’s perspective, write a short paragraph about their average day. 

Ran - ok i will be so honest, i am not sure, i dont have an as detailed iterinary as i do for Machwell, Ran just sorta my little guy with a tragic backstory and a fruity disposition they work a tourist trap, so they're honestly there most of the time, or bothering their brother Noctiluca at his workplace, or enjoying the weather and staring off into space and shutting down every thought that comes too close to ruining their Vibe

☀️ - How well does your OC deal with isolation? 

Magic - Magic does like her space! she moved out of her mom's house pretty quick into adulthood despite the good relationship just because she needed the quiet. she can so gladly go days seeing no one, doing her own projects, and talking to herself. when she's with others, she switches into extrovert mode, although she is an introvert at heart. i think all of this is one of the reasons she gravitated to Ruse- her quiet demeanor and eagerness for parallel play allows them to spend hours together without needing to put any overly social front up! of course, Magic loves her friends so so sooo much, and she craves to spend time with them and yap and chatter, but she does not require it.

🌕 - Describe what your OC would wear to a costume party.  LOVE THIS Ruse- I really really really wanted to draw her dressed up as Wonder Whitney for Halloween....i ran outta time i was so busy.......Wonder Whitney is her favorite musician and i think Wonder is PLENTY famous enough that it would be a recognizable costume to do one of its music video looks

remind me to draw this at some point

Magic - magic gets such bad decision paralysis with outfits, i think she'd settle on a.) doing a couple costume with twilight (its always ponies cosplay) b.) ???? c.) she lowkey would love to do a knight costume but she doesn't want to like...insult?? Ruse?? she's so scared to even mention she thinks it would be so cool.....ruse would not mind i swear. she just wants to see how the armor feels it looks so cool but she's overthinking it so she's going with ??? instead

Ran - Ran is always dressed up in costume, but i think it would be funny if Noctiluca convinced them to dress up in a t-shirt and jeans and no makeup. i genuinely think no one would recognize her

Goat and Auï - Do Not Forget About The Pears

[sunnysagereblog]

My fictional caregivers:

(Please understand that I am fully aware these are fictional characters and not real. This is just in my imagination to help me cope)

Fuyu

Fuyu takes good care of me. He's a bit strict, but I know it's because he cares. He always makes sure I drink water, eat, and brush my hair. He even does my hair up sometimes if he can get me to sit still. He let's me snuggle in his tails when I'm cold, and he draws with me too.

Captain Yami

He's big fun! I think it's funny when he teases me! He definitely scared me at first, but he's learned to be a bit more gentle. Not to say I don't enjoy running away from him when I "accidentally" annoy him a bit. It's all in good fun. He thinks it's funny when I'm sassy to rude people. And he laughs when I make up funny words or show him ugly plushies that I like! He's so much fun to be wif!

Tfp Optimus Prime

It took me a minute to understand him, given he doesn't show emotions, but I think we have a good understanding now. He always appreciates my drawings, and he makes sure I'm okay. He shows affection in his own way, and that's okay.

Gajeel

Another big fun guy! He's like a fun uncle to me! We like sharing our music tastes, and he lets me be adventurous! He also lets me be sassy to rude meany people. And he protects me from scary people. Ofc he does make sure I'm okay and that I'm taken care of. He is always there for me when I feel overstimulated. And doesn't mind watching little kid shows wif me.

Chuuya

Chuuya is nice because he lets me vent to him. He lets me play with his hair and put cute clips in his hair. And he wears the bracelets I make him. He loves Bluey just like me! We color together all the time, and he makes sure my bottle is filled. He buys my cute clothes and snacks! He very nice ❤️

Hisoka

Okay, I know this one is a bit sus, and I'm not sure how to justify this one Imma be honest. But he's pretty SFW around me (probably because I'm weak and he's into power). I like going shopping wif him! He pays for my crippling stuffie addiction lol. He thinks my gremlin behavior is funny, and he lets me bite his arm. He just laughs. Ofc I don't bite too hard. He also play pretend wif me! My fav game to play wif him is Cats Vs. Dogs! And we have teaparties and bake togefer! He's lotsa fun!

Goemon

Basically, me bodyguard. He refuses to let me out of his sight. Doesn't mean I won't try heehee. He's definitely a bit more awkward with my regression, but that's okay. I think it's funny. He always makes sure I eat, sleep, and drink water. I think he secretly likes Bluey, though he'll never admit it lol. He takes board games very seriously. It's funny to watch. He's a good guy and is always trying his best.

Sundrop

(Art is not mine)

This man was literally built to be a caregiver! He's my arts and crafts buddy and always tells me what a good job I did! We decorated a plant pot togefer! It turned out great! He cut out star shapes for me. I like putting stickers on his face lol. He's such a good caregiver 💛☀️🌻

Rottmnt Raph

He makes me feel safe. And he gives the BEST hugs! He takes me to Build a Bear and plushy hunting at Goodwill. He watches little kid shows with me, too. My fav to watch with him is My Little Pony Equestria Girls. He always, and I mean ALWAYS, makes sure I'm taken care of. He's so sweet. ♥️🖍🍎

[onejellyfishplease]

I am all about constructive criticism. I mean, how am I supposed to get better at writing/drawing if people won't be honest with me and give me tips to get better. I personally think that people who can't take constructive criticism aren't very bright. How are they supposed to get better at things if they don't listen to others who are just trying to guide them?

Also, I would love some more tips on how to make the shell better. If you are willing, of course. :)

I am horrible at drawing. I usually have to trace things to get a decent drawing. (For instance, I traced like five different things to make Mikey a pony.)

I'm so much better at coloring than I am at drawing. My writing needs work, too, but I'm getting better.

First of all, can I just say that you shouldnt worry about tracing art to improve your own (as long as u aren't posting it as soley your own but thats a whole other rabbit hole) I did too! It helps build ground work for a good understanding of anatomy and poses.

However there are a few holes in tracing. Forst of all it is quite limiting in the outcome of your work, as your art is stuck static in one pose. this can alkost hinder your ability to see things in '3D' and visualise objects for multiple angles. it can also lead to 'skin wrapping' , which i think is the hole you fell into here (and also a term i just made up now)

with the shell, you only coloured it within Mikey's trace lines - this caused the shell to loose a lot of its mass - making it look, quite frankly, not like a shell.

a way to improve on this is to look at more references of Mikey's shell in the show and its shape from different angles. this can help you get a good idea of how it should look, and it is a good idea to practice drawing it from these angles. this will improve your ability to think in a 3D space, (which is so darn hard, but seriously useful)

however, and you may have noticed this yourself, when you add new additions to the figure, the line art just doesnt line up! the line quality is different!

This is because the line you have done for the addition is Your Line. And we love your line.

so lets make the rest of the traced lineart fit into your style, instead of you fitting yours into theirs okay?

You may notice that when you trace art, the line work is just not the same, the lines are shakier than the original and it just doesn't look as good. this is not a reflection of your skill.

It is because, usually, (at least when I did it) you follow the original line so closely that it turns out shaky, probably taking your pen off the page a few times to take a break from the oen stroke. while the original artist did that line in one sweeping stroke.

a way to fix this, and make the line arr cleaner and more you, is to instead use the drawing as a very close reference. for example:

instead of tracing the exact lines of the art, merely trace the general shapes of the art. not only then do you add your own flair and gesture to the drawing, you are then more free to add more shapes to this sketch.

You can still use the reference drawing as closly as you want, but try to focus less on getting the exact lines copied, and more on the general shape. you linework wont be perfect the first time, it might be really messy compared to your usual tracing, and thats fine! you should see some of my sketches before i refine them!

But these will be your lines, theyll be smoother and more gestural, and overtime you will get better control over your penstrokes doing this.

Okay I cant really think of anymore to add here, I hope this helps! i think this was just one big word vomit lol. Keep drawing!! cause no matter what you do, as long as you are actively drawing you are always improving! dont be afraid to push yourself out of you comfort zone! who cares if it doesnt turn out the way you wanted it to? Its your art, You Created That with your Own Hands, and I think that is amazing.

<3

[front-facing-pokemon]

Vylet Pony fan 🫵 literally the first time i heard Bonnie i fell in love with it's music. always taking music recs, got anything good in that direction? i'll give u mine: Left at London and Princess Xixi 💗

bonnie is absolutely one of the best songs of all time. going out on a limb to say that. incredible fucking song. i've never really done music recommendations before! i feel a lot of the music i like is already very popular here on tumblr (the scary jokes, louie zong, vylet pony obviously, patricia taxxon), and i don't listen to a ton of music nowadays outside of video game OSTs, which is slightly unfortunate. but here we go: anything penny parker (go! child or her solo music) is going to be a banger no matter what (i draw your attention particularly to rude mountain, the entire DeReconstruct album, and coffee & ramen from go! child, though the masquerade is also very good), hawaii: part ii is probably my favorite album of all time, and louie zong has never made a bad song, ever. there you go

this is just further proof that we needed more gmax forms that weren't gen 1, gen 8, or garbodor. to be honest

LIZARD MOMENT!!!! YEEEAAAAH

hey, don't be mean..! maybe it thinks that about you :/ most fish pokémon look kinda dumb when you put them in this situation. they weren't expecting it..!

[thewonderingbard]

Hi hi Morganna!!

So let’s say the skeletons’ S/O has a cuteee little sibling, how do you think the skeletons would interact with them?

Your choice as to who you do <333

Hello!

Sorry it took so long! Between school work and being ill twice I have had no time to do anything!

No age is metioned for the little sibling so I am going with that S/Os siblibg is a toddler!

_________________________________

UT Sans - Vanilla

He finds your sibling the funniest thing ever.Like they are always saying things that make this skeleton bust out laughing.Having looked after Papyrus since he was young,Sans knows how to look after children.Him,you and your sibling regularly watch cartoons together.

UT Papyrus - Paps

He almost died of cuteness when he first saw your sibling.Cuteness must run in the family *wink*.He just wants to hug your sibling and never let go.He volunteers to take your sibling to the park,to feed them,change them and even putting them to bed!The best thing about it? Your sibling doesn’t fuss when ‘Brother’ Paps is around.What can he say? Children love him.

US Sans - Blue

He has never been good with kids but your sibling loves him.Hugging him and drawing him pictures…yeah he cried when your sibling called him brother.He takes this role very seriously.

“Hey there,little one!Why so Sad?Don’t worry!Your magnificent brother Blue is here to help!”

He also has no self control and buys your sibling what ever they want.

US Papyrus - Honey

He and your sibling are now partners in crime.S/O has seen them colouring together,watching cartoons together,HECK!Even sleeping next to one another.(They fell asleep after watching cartoons,Honey is on the floor with your sibling on his chest.) One day, your sibling gave him a best friend necklace and he burst out into tears.He never takes it off.

UF Sans - Red

Your sibling called him a shark.He is now smiling like an idiot while your sibling calls him shark boy.He is broken,your sibling broke him.He does actually try to help looking after them but he does a horrible job.How was he supposed to know which way overalls went on?He doesn’t smoke around your sibling and he tries not to swear but ends up failing.You know who to blame when your sibling is now shouting “SHIT” at the top of their lungs

UF Papyrus - Edge

He does this cute thing where he replies to your siblings babbling.

“Habhavhbah”

“Yeah?I Know~So Yummy!”

It is honestly adorable.He also spoils your sibling rotten.Buying them every toy they could ever want.He also takes the liberty of making your siblings food.Even feeding it them himself!

HT Sans - Seaweed

To be honest at first he was scared in case your sibling found him scary…but now he considers your sibling his sibling.He takes them out into the field with all the cows and teaches them to properly pet them.He does this with all the farm animals and even lets your sibling name one of the newborn animals! There is now a pony called Princess Unicorn.

HT Papyrus - Papaya

He too was scared incase your sibling was scared of him.He now gets excited when your sibling comes around because that means he can try his hand out at making food for toddlers.An adorable moment was when Papaya fell asleep when your siblings was in his lap,they were reading a story together! Papaya also introduces your sibling to the animals of the farm.He claims he always needs ‘some special hands’ to help with the animals.

——————————————————

Thank you for requesting!

Yet aging I apologise for it taking so long to write!

- Morganna

[dawns-laboratory]

Can you draw your favorite background pony?

Okay so, to clarify!

I don't want super detailed requests. Because I can't be bothered being fussed over details. A character or two + a scenario like, "On a picnic", is fine! Leaving the details of it up to me. But more detailed like "Zecora and Applebloom, running for their lives after having gathered Poison Joke, being hunted by a large swarm of zappy bees during nighttime." This is a bit of a ridiculous example, but I hope you get where I'm going with it.

Now, I don't want something too vague either! Because in the end I have these requests open because I don't want to choose! Requests like "Twilight arguing with a pony of your choice!" is fine, but anything vaguer and I just can't be bothered.

In short I want people to tell me what to do because I'm too lazy to choose myself! Also because, to be honest... I don't have very strong opinions on anybody in the MLP show. 'sides gripes with a lot of the cast. (Like how I don't like Starlight nor Celestia, I'm devastated over what they did to my boy Sombra, and I couldn't care less about the secondary Main 6.) There are a few characters that I might like a little more than others, but even then it's more of a "You're alright" kind of feel. So while I have background ponies I might like more than some others... I can't in good conscience say I have a "Favourite" one because I simply don't care enough about them, lmao.

[notsodailycake]

Meet my oc Velvet, who i shared on a previous mlp post where she was mentioned to be Marble's friend, best friend, to be more specific

And I'm obsessed with her, like imma be honest with yall I'm crazy for her, like I'd let her ruin my life <3

I'm just lucky enough that she's actually very sweet despite her mean girl attitude/vibe. She has a golden heart and cares for the well-being of others a lot, but she has a sharp tongue and is usually the type to playfully insult you, unless it actually hurts you, then she'll immediately take it back and apologize, unless she doesn't like you, then she's not sorry at all.

She's also a big siser at heart, figuratively and literally. She has a younger siser (not by much, maybe like 2 years younger), called Sugar Breeze, might be the next one to draw if i get the time to haha

ALSO I JUST GOTTA POINT ONE THING OUT, but the hands?? YEAH! They look fucking good, and these ones in specific are special bc those are the two hand poses i STRUGGLE with, like a lot, and they cane out amazingly!! So yeah I'm fucking proud >:D

Also, a blank version with her pony self for comparison:

• Pinned Post •

— Hello there.

I just wanted to do this post for collect main info about me. A lot of extra stuff but why not. So let's go.

• Basic Info • As artist I am Kira Shiffer or Dementra, you can call me both of these names! I'm from Russia, it's nevermind BUT my eng isn't good��� I am digital self-taught artist, my art os more often like my hobby although it's also my only one way to earn money. Mostly I draw my OCs, also I do art for MLP, I make adoptable ponies and YCHes sometimes. In my VK group I do commissions but hope I will do it in my other places coming soon. I draw sfw thing and also love draw gore - blood, violence, darkness, fear... be careful! Mostly I can be known (a little lol) as the MLP artist. But I don't consider myself a brony and, if honest, I don't like to draw show's characters. I like to draw OCs (mine or not), anthros, monsters and humans but last is still difficult to me. Important: I'm not social person! Sorry, very often I may not reply to comments (but I struggle with it) and mostly I don't interact with anyone.

• My socials: [ru] VK group [eng] DeviantART gallery [eng] X or Twitter acc [ru/eng] Boosty blog [eng] Cara App page [eng] BlueSky Social acc + also I have accounts on YCH Art and Hipolink but the first is frozen now and the second is using as payment method for adopts sellings

I will be happy and grateful if you will follow me on most of my places

Below is information about me as person for curious heh. I'll hide it behind…[I dunno how it calls in eng sorry x3] so as not to take up a lot of space in your feeds!

• About me as person: ○ my name is Kira Baer – I'm really Kira but my real last name is actually related to bears in meaning. In English I use Baer to my ponifi for example. This word kinda twisted from deutsch Bär ○ I am female [she/her] and straight in aromantic spectrum – it's not necessary to know but why not lol ○ my native language is RUS but I also know ENG [A1-A2 I hope] – I am free in talking on rus but on eng I can mistaken, not understand something and else very often. Sorry if I make mistakes. Also I'm really bad in slang... by the way I love deutsch but don't know it at all x3 ○ I draw ponies but not consider myself to brony — it did happened accidently ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I like concept about world of fantastic equines but the show is boring to me. I more like pony OCs and headcanons\AUs then canon characters and original world ○ I am in BVB Army – only-only one fandom which I consider myself is fandom of fans of Black Veil Brides because I'm loving this band so much ○ also I like Neue Deutsche Härte and rock/metal in general – I don't understand deutsch at all but I absolutely love the way it sounds! I like to listen Stahlmann and Eisbrecher. Also I have some favorite songs by Heldmaschine, Die Kreatur, Erlding, [die!], Megaherz and Unheilig and really love Meine Liebe by Unzucht ○ I like dark art – I like to watch and draw dark drawings with darkness, fear, violence, blood and death. For me process of creating this is kinda sublimation of emotions or vent. I hope u understand that it is not means that I kinda support real violence? Cause I'm not do this.

I do not know what else to say about myself, so so far only this ~

p.s. If you want to know something else - try to ask me and I probably I can give you an answer. Yes, I talk about I'm not social but maybe I could go through my social anxiety

get a blindbox toy. idc if youre adult. its fun. maybe get a kinder surprise egg if you can (a chocolate egg is usually 110-120kcal)

watch some good old bloody slasher or japanese horror movie

get a notebook with a locker and make a fucking anadiary. make it sappy or overdramatic or heroinchicy or 80rockstary. doesnt matter

google about arsons in your hometown and look at cool fire pics

How do you draw your chibis? No need for an elaborate explanation I'm just. a beginner artist trying to feel around some things

o!! i will be honest, my process isnt exactly very . helpful. its pretty much just circle -> basic head shape -> Draw The Rest Of The Owl(tm) due to my tried and true method of Fuck It We Ball.

but um! some scattered tips are smthn i Can give! though its kinda just what everyone else says. my best one is just kinda... imitate art you like. whether its proper Style Imitations or just Kinda Whatever is up to you, but th point is to practice something and then Do What Feels Fun. and then you can just drop whatever parts Arent fun. and then you keep doing that over and over until it frankensteins itself into something new :] mayb even sprinkle in smthn you just wanna try for funsies. who knows. art styles r like corkboards to me, yknow?

also have fun simplifying shapes. i like... Never enjoy drawing limbs unless theyre vaguely shaped like mlp pony hooves. its always just that but to the left a little. find shortcuts! do something silly! at the end of it all it really is just. Fuck Around Find Out Have Fun. sometimes it doesnt work. turn it into something else. or do it again if you want. what ever ! no rules. <33

theres always the Use Refs Do Studies and like yeah, definitely do that when you wanna push things, but also just like... have fun. do something weird. maybe youll like it. maybe you wont. but therell always be some sort of art :] and thats always good!

also dont delete your old art, youre gonna want to so bad but thats the devil talking ok even if you dont like it even if you can do better, keep it!!!! tuck it away in a file under your bed if you must, but theres nothing quite as nice as looking back and seeing how far youve come, or how the energy changes, or what you focus on-- and that info can be used for fun little stuff too!

tl;dr i cannot express this enough: do what makes you happy and Have Fun!!!! Priority Number 1!!!!!!! good luck, i believe in you!!!!! \o/

ok but u are so real for being mad at the ponytails problem with nyo arthur and nyo matthew. i'll be real here i honest to god hate alice's ponytails in the sense of like no real grown women would ever wear her hair like that??? let alone Alice !?? Im sorry but she would not!! The low ponies for maddy are better/more wearable but then like u said, the feeling of getting nyo franada mixed up with fruk is soooo annoying. Like obvis i get the nyo fruk appeal but like seen that done that, i want the the niche shite now i want nyo franada! the Dynamics are just mrgghhhhh. Maddy not feeling practical/classical enough around Alice only to go to nyo france (I forget her fanon name :(() and be made to feel too drab and dull and geting increasingly pissed off with the complaints and nyo france's overly familiar touchiness while nyo france didn't know she was so insecure and thought they were just having fun? its just hmmmrghh. The few times i actually see nyo franada its always soo good. It just works, they have so much going on lol.

THIS. This. You absolutely nailed the dynamics im clawing at the walls. Maddy wants so desperately to fit in and be loved by them but she never feels good enough. Vivienne (my name for nyo france) makes her feel inferior, sometimes purposefully and sometimes not, very often teasing. But her girl is emotionally fragile ok!! She needs to be careful. (But i like it when she’s not. The drama of it all is what makes it fun 😌)

I love drawing women with ponytails but only when there’s something extra. Braids, curls, super short pigtails, etc. hima just got a bit too comfy w the design I think. It’s also a matter of how well it works — pigtails suit madeline so well, but I feel like Alice would never wear them willingly, like you said she’s so practical.

The mythological creature/elemental alignment that nobody asked for.

The funny thing about the creature alignment is that it is not especially specific, so I can equate it with whatever I want~ Aisha: An Al-Mi'raj type unicorn; which is to say, an animal one would never think to be a unicorn. Looks like a large yellow hare with a single black horn and causes all other animals, big or small, to flee when it draws near.

Bulk: Amethyst Dragon like in D&D. He can be neutral, or he can be good. Prefers not to get into fights, despite how that seems to be his got-to preference with people that tick him off.

Rocky: I wanna make him an Incubus so bad, but I could settle for making him a Devil Dog if needs must.

Trini: A high ranking Dryad that is unlikely to get scored on by one of the Greek gods, simply by virtue of being too good for them.

Skull: As cheesy as it is, I can't help but think of the Unicorn type from Peter S. Beagle. Largely because the living under the sea thing was never explained, and that feels very punk?

Matt: I am trying really hard not to think about Spirited away, but it does tend to pop into my head...though a little thicker for Matt, I suppose.

Zordon: He lives in a jar that emanates blue and you can't tell me the teens haven't succumbed to the urge to tap the glass to see him flinch like some tiny water goblin.

Violet: Naiad of Angel Grove, who is beautiful and soft spoken, but apparently has a temper and can be dangerous when crossed?

Grace: Kirin type. The kind that you see in My Little Pony that sets itself on fire when it's very angry, but otherwise looks majestic.

Jason: ...One of those cute little Mushu looking dragons that a lot of people these days make art of them heating meat on a spit for their owner. Will happily be paid for with baked goods~

Tommy: Go watch 'Hellfire' from Hunchback of Notre Dame, think of Tommy. Thank me for it later.

Kim: Let's be honest. I'm thinking of Tinkerbell, you're thinking of Tinkerbell. Especially when ready to shank a bitch.

Billy: I could make up something fantastic, but my brain goes back to The Last Unicorn, except unlike with Skull, I'm perfectly willing to admit that Amalthea suits Billy more. Largely because he feels...shiny.

Adam: Think of a Great Eared Nightjar, but as an ACTUAL dragon that can fit in your pocket :D

Zelya: Now you see her, now you don't.

Zack: Think of the Elves from Lord of the Rings. But not THOSE ONES. From the BOOKS. Do you see it?

[ciaossu-imagines]

I have loved The Outsiders since ninth grade when we had to read the book for class. I’ve been writing for it on and off since then too, to be honest, and am always happy to sink back into the world of these characters. Using this Halloween based prompt here, I wrote some headcanons for a handful of the characters and hope you all will enjoy them!

Ponyboy

If your character lives alone, what do they do to ‘feel safe’? (Ex: locking the doors, getting a dog, owning weapons, leaving the TV on to not feel alone, etc.)

Ponyboy has never really experienced living alone and with a pretty open-door policy in the Curtis house, he’s never really felt too scared when at home. Even when he spooks himself with horror stories, he’s pretty calm when it comes to noises or people coming in and out of the house. But I feel that once he gets out on his own, he definitely has a rough time living alone, both with the loneliness he’ll feel and just a general fear whenever he’s alone in his apartment or house and I can see him always leaving the radio or television on, just to kind of simulate that constant sense of low noise that there always was in the Curtis household.

If your character lives with others, who is responsible for keeping the house ‘safe’? If there’s a chance of danger (they hear a noise, for example) whose job is it to check out the ‘threat’?

While living with his brothers, if there was a chance of danger or some noise that was distinctly out of place and all of them are home, it’s always Darry that goes to investigate and if Darry’s not around, Soda will do it. Both older brothers kind of instruct Pony to stay inside and let them figure it out, which really does annoy him, if he’s being honest because it feels like they’re treating him like a child.

What shapes/figures/faces do they carve into their pumpkins?

Okay, but this is just a strong headcanon I have, but Pony is really talented and creative with his words and his writing but he’s absolute shit as an artist. He’s not artistically inclined in drawing, painting, sculpting…or carving. So while he might come up with unique ideas of things to carve into his pumpkin, it never really looks like anything. Even when he tries to stay simple, with a classic Jack O’Lantern face, it still kind of ends up crooked and gaping and kind of resembles it very abstractly.

Sodapop

Do they give out candy or do they eat it all themselves? Favourite candy?

Though the Curtis’ are very poor, and can’t afford much, they do try to have some kind of treat on Halloween for the few trick or treaters they get because all of the brothers remember the joy they had as kids of getting Halloween candy. It’s normally Darry who ends up passing out the candy but most years, Soda tries to stick around for a little bit to help pass out the candy. He does have a bad habit of eating some of them and will probably leave to go to a Halloween party or go hang out with Steve before the last of the trick or treaters arrive.

What is their costume this year, and what have they been in the past?

Even when they had slightly more money, back when their parents were alive, it was just more money…but not enough to be swimming in it. Soda remembers a lot of his childhood with his parents through rose-tinted glasses and while it was definitely good, Halloween wasn’t the lavish affair he quite remembers it to be and his mother had to hand-make all of the boys Halloween costumes, with Soda going out as a ghost or a hobo a lot of the times, with reused or simple costumes.

In a haunted house, are they the one screaming or the one telling everyone ‘those masks don’t even look real’? (Same goes for watching scary movies and judging the ‘scary’ effects.)

It’s stated canonically that Soda doesn’t really have the patience to sit through a movie, even a scary one, so he really can’t judge the effects from those. He’s been to a couple haunted houses though and, while he doesn’t outright scream, he’s probably jumped a fair few times and definitely isn’t going to be rude about even the most cheesy of effects because he’ll be the first to admit that it’s not like he could’ve done any better and probably wouldn’t have done even as good as those effects were.

Darry

Was Halloween a big part of their childhood? Why or why not?

As hinted above, Halloween wasn’t a lavish thing for the Curtis family, but his parents always worked really hard to still make it a fun experience and Darry does have fond memories of his childhood Halloweens. Even when he got older and started having to take his brothers out trick or treating, he still really enjoyed the holiday and getting tricks and pulling silly pranks.

What is their opinion on ‘sexy’ or ‘slutty’ costumes, including the terms themselves (i.e.: slut shaming)?

Please, everyone remember that The Outsiders was written and set in the 60’s, so the characters would have been shaped by that time period and wouldn’t realistically react to things like we would during our time frame. That being said, while he probably wouldn’t use the word slut itself, that is definitely how Darry would view women who wore those kinds of costumes. He’d have a low opinion of any woman who would expose that much of herself and, even if they’re attractive and it does accidentally turn him on, the truth is that he’d think the person in that sexy costume was a loose, cheap, easy person and he wouldn’t want them in any way because of that.

What is their favourite scary movie? Horror story?

I feel like Darry liked to watch movies before his parents died, back when he actually had the time and freedom to do so and, while scary movies weren’t his go-to, he was kind of a Vincent Price fan and enjoyed most of his movies, though they didn’t often outright scare him. What did scare him, and sticks with him throughout his entire life, was this story his teacher had the class read during his high-school years, Shirley Jackson’s The Lottery.

Johnny

Do they prefer ‘scary Halloween’ or ‘cutsie Halloween’?

I feel like Johnny, even before getting jumped, wasn’t a fan of anything scary. He had enough scary in his day-to-day life and didn’t need manufactured for Halloween scary. He likes the holiday but more the child-friendly, cutesy Halloween.

When carving pumpkins, can they be trusted with the knife? How about the art?

Johnny’s actually pretty okay with a knife. His hands shake a little but not to the point where he’s likely to cut off a finger or seriously injure himself or anyone else. He wouldn’t want to carve a pumpkin, but he could do so if asked. He’d probably rather be the one to scoop out all the pumpkin guts than the person to handle the knife.

When scared, how do they react: do they jump? Scream? Wet their pants? All of the above?

Johnny gets really quiet when he’s scared, even more so than normal and he trembles more than normal. His eyes get real big and he kind of feels like running, but also can’t quite get his legs to work properly and he gets queasy in his stomach, though he can’t throw up. It’ll take him a moment to really be able to take any action and flight is definitely the stronger of the two between flight and fight responses.

How do they react to culturally appropriated costumes?

Again, please keep in mind that The Outsiders is set during the early 60’s and that cultural appropriation wasn’t even a thought during that time so Johnny would have no idea what those words even mean.

Dally

Do they believe in couple’s costumes? If so, what have they worn or wish they could wear with a SO?

Dally does not and will not dress up for Halloween. For one, he doesn’t celebrate it and for another, he would think it was dumb to dress up at his age. He won’t begrudge his partner doing it, though he might make a dumb comment about how they were getting too old for that kind of thing, but couple costumes are never going to be a go for Dally.

Have they ever won a costume contest? What was the category?

Nope. Truth be told, Dally hasn’t ever seen a Halloween costume contest done and has zero interest in changing that.

Wildest (or lamest) Halloween party they have ever been to?

I feel like, though Halloween isn’t a thing to Dally, he likes the parties that go with them, and he went to some insane Halloween parties, particularly in larger cities like New York. The wildest one he’s ever been to had all of the usual drinking, sex, and drugs, but ended up with a guy stabbing one of Dally’s buddies right in the eye…Dally will probably always remember the sound of the knife going in, and especially of it coming out because it made an almost comical, but horrific, little popping, squelching sound.

Do they have any specific traditions during Halloween, either with friends or family?

I really do strongly headcanon that Dally never got to celebrate Halloween at any point in his life. It wasn’t something he got to do as a child, and he had nobody to trick or treat or spend Halloween with until he got too old for the holiday. He’s surprisingly bitter about it and kind of hates the holiday all said.

Two-Bit

Have they ever been in a corn maze? How does your character feel about getting or being lost in general?

Two-Bit has definitely been to a corn maze, either with his sisters or his friends. He’s a really tall guy and, if he gets there too early in the season, before the corn is nice and tall, he can stand on tip toes and see the path pretty easy, so he tries to go later on in the season. He’s actually pretty good at figuring out directions, something that surprises most people who know him and doesn’t get lost all that easily. When he does, he’ll just retrace his steps.

What was the most frightening moment of their life?

Honestly, while he wasn’t as directly affected by everything as the Curtis’ were, everything that happened with Pony and Johnny and especially with Dally towards the end of the book…all that definitely burdened and frightened Two-Bit more than he could find the words to say or would ever show anyone.

What does the day AFTER Halloween look like for your character?

Honestly, he usually ends up being puked on by one of his sisters as they come down from a candy high, so the day after Halloween isn’t ever too pleasant for Two-Bit.
