#vapor trail redesign

[shirecorn]

Vapor Trail!

This tiny, round puffball might not seem like much, but she's actually one of the strongest flyers in Cloudsdale! Or at least she will be, once she breaks out of her codependency issues.

[rainbow-alicorn-funtime]

The creatures!!! Love these stupid background horses <33

[harleyfknsucks]

vapor trailllll isn’t she so cute i love her design

[jaded-but-queer]

Ships in the rewrite that I’ll use ✨

Fluttershy - Discord (obviously lmao)

Twilight Sparkle - Sunset Shimmer

Rarity - Applejack

Pinkie Pie - Cheese Sandwich

Rainbow Dash - Vapor Trail (I'm debating about this one but the more I think about it the more I like it)

Minor ships in the background will probably include

Chrysalis - Mantis (they'll be much more strained than in DOD/SILOD due to their complicated history with each other)

Flash Sentry - Sunburst (minor but I might have their child be an attendant to Lily Sterling, and I adore the headcanon of Sunburst being the younger brother of Sunset Shimmer)

Soarin - Braeburn (a classic ship that will be very minor and probably only be mentioned a few times by the twins who will probably still be biologically RD and Soarin's; in this rewrite, they'll have mutually broken up not long after the events of BOD)

Bonus! How I might structure Screwy's friends in this rewrite

Apple Blossom as I mentioned in my previous post will be redesigned into Bloomin' Apples and will be the daughter of Sugar Belle and Big Macintosh. She is now a unicorn and isn't on the best of terms with Screwball, and they consider each other to be nuisances (Screwy can't stand Bloomin''s unpleasant and stuck-up attitude while Bloomin' just finds Screwball to be annoying to be around and has a habit of giving them backhanded compliments whenever they see each other); ironically she gets along quite well with Mothball after they first meet and regularly hang out. She and Thunder had an on and off again relationship before she broke it off for good, and things are currently very awkward between them; it doesn't help that their parents are extremely close to each other.

Thunder Dash and Lightning Dash's names have been tweaked to now be Thunder Blast and Lightning Blitz, and as mentioned earlier they'll still be RD and Soarin's kids but their parents haven't been together since they were still infants. Yes, this means Prism won't exist but I honestly didn't care much for her lmao. Lightning is the no-nonsense straight man to Thunder's lovable himbo (Joey Tribbiani is my best comparison for him) and they care very deeply about each other despite their petty spats. Lightning is still very close to Screwball and loves them like a sibling while Thunder won't be as close to Screwy like in the OG but still considers them a close friend.

Cinnamon Stick and Cinnamon Roll will still exist since I adore them but I'll be tweaking Cinnamon Roll's name into Cinnamon Bun just for funsies. Now personally, don't ask why this is just what I thought of while rethinking their characters, I love to portray them as being Hispanic/Latino-based (if I had to be specific I'd say Central American, maybe Nicaraguan or Guatemalan); I've even named their late birth mother Dulce D'Leche. They both have much more noticeable mental scars from their childhood, in case you don't remember their bio mother passed away after the family bakery caught fire and their bio dad abruptly left without explanation (boy will I have a fun time explaining DF's hidden explanation for this in my next post), Cinnamon Bun tries her best to hide it but has times where she can't help but grieve for her mother that she never got to know since she was just a baby, and Cinnamon Stick will be very quiet and reserved with a knack for being sarcastic/rude for no apparent reason whenever he's uncomfortable around others; he's extremely sensitive when it comes to the topic of his birth parents, and Screwy's the only one who's witnessed his tears for his beloved mother and his rage towards his coward of a father for leaving them. Cinnamon Stick will be Screwball's closest friend right after Lily Sterling and I imagine Screwy has a soft spot for Cinnamon Bun and treats her like a baby sister whenever she visits.

Mothball now has a long pretentious name because that's my favorite thing to do: The Crown Prince of the Changeling Empire, Io "Mothball" Insecta von Roachanov III; Mothball is a nickname from childhood that just stuck, it's changeling slang for a "rambunctious/temperamental grub (infant)". He will have extremely low self-esteem as a side effect of his mother's treatment and the isolation he faced growing up, and he'll have the habit of questioning compliments like "... you really think that?/I don't know about that" and tends to doubt his own intelligence. I mentioned in my first post that the changelings are an extremely conservative matriarchy, and this has its effects on him when it comes to social interactions and how he believes he must hold himself as a male of his species. Luckily for him, Screwball is all for breaking rules and social norms and helps him come out of his shell not long after they first meet (they'll be young adults when they officially meet in this rewrite and have had past romantic relationships/immature crushes). His infatuation with Screwball develops fast and I like to use the phrase: He fell first but they (screwy) fell harder. They absolutely adore the hell out of each other once they get their issues sorted out and will drop almost anything if the other needed them.

BTW I might also try and portray Mothball as being on the autism spectrum, something that he himself won't find out until adulthood since I can imagine Chrysalis (with her ancient and overtly conservative ass) doesn't really believe in it being a real thing her own son could have.

Oh and Dinky has been Thanos snapped out of existence because I found her character to be very underwhelming lmao and her role will be replaced by my redesign for Princess Flutterby Lily, Princess Sterling Lily. Sterling will have a lot of history with both Screwball AND Mothball; her role in my rewrite will be based very loosely on the role of Rosaline from Romeo and Juliet, and if I had to describe her personality it would be Angelica Schuyler/Isabela Madrigal. She holds herself to an extremely high standard and is considered by many to be far too selfless, just like her mother, and doesn't quite know what she wants to do with her life outside of being the crown princess of the crystal empire.

i think i’m going to redesign my game

i namesearched vapor trails in the /vg/ archives and people are still talking about it, but they hate the level design and tbh i kinda do too

i built the three complex levels when I didn’t really know how I wanted the character movement to be, and as a result, they are: - dark, and visually hard to read - claustrophobic - full of weird corners and ledges

when I get back home this weekend i’m gonna do some color studies for the caves and then remake part of them

The Open 2019: Will Rory McIlroy’s Portrush homecoming be a blessing or curse?

Anyone born and bred in Northern Ireland can't be too optimistic, wrote the poet Seamus Heaney.

Yet to be on the coastline of County Antrim this week, to make the drive up from Belfast even, is to see a country beaming its most toothsome smile.

The weather may have been doing its damnedest to wreck the mood on Wednesday, but not even gray skies, wicked crosswinds and torrential rain could vapor this parade.

Rory McIlroy will be hoping to conquer his native Royal Portrush this week at The Open

What will it be for Rory McIlroy, blessing or curse?

Thinking positively, he could feed off all this wonderful energy, bounce inspired around Royal Portrush, buoyed by the love of the common people.

'I just can't put the blinkers on and pretend it's not all going on, "he said. 'I still have a look around and smell the roses. That's one of my mantras this week. "

Against that, those who share Heaney's world view would warn of the pitfalls; of the 148th Open Championship becoming a celebration of Irish golf and of McIlroy himself, one grand four-day craic, amid which is the very serious business of winning a major tournament lost.

"I'm just treating this like any other Open Championship," said McIlroy.

"I've played well here for the last few years . I've played well on this golf course. So I've just got to go out and hit shots and stay in the present. If I just keep putting one foot in front of the other, hopefully by Sunday night that will be good enough. "

In other words, he's conflicted. How can he ignore his role in getting the open back to the country of his birth, forget that it was his success which made the clamor irresistible?

McIlroy can't afford to get caught up in the hullabaloo and expectation at Royal Portrush

A 'Go Rory!' banner is displayed outside of a home at Royal Portrush during the practice round

By the same token, how can he afford to get caught up in the hullabaloo and expectation?

It may , indeed, be all about McIlroy come Sunday, but if he sets off thinking that, how can he last under the pressure?

Colin Montgomerie's father was secretary at Royal Throne and every time the Open went there, tales were told of Monty being as good as raised on the course.

This was his homecoming, his Lewis Hamilton at Silverstone moment. He knew every hollow and plateau.

And invariably this certainty failed in a player crushed by the weight of all that hope. In 1997, Montgomerie was tied in 24th place. In 2004, he finished 82nd. Returning as a senior in 2016, he came 78th.

Portrush has even greater significance for McIlroy. It was here the shot 61 as a 16-year-old, a course record that cannot be touched because Portrush has successfully redesigned.

Yet what is McIlroy supposed to do? Pretend? Feign ignorance? His name is up there on the wall of the clubhouse.

McIlroy shot a 61 as a 16 -year-old at Royal Portrush, a course record that cannot be touched

By the time he finished that record-breaking round, half of the town were trailing him around the links. All he can do is embrace his exalted status and admit the advantage it affords him.

"Yeah, I think experience helps," admitted McIlroy. 'There are a lot of approach shots here that are visually more intimidating than they play. Thomas Bjorn walked a few holes with me on Tuesday and I hit a nice little draw over the right-hand bunker on three.

'It looked like it was missing the green by a mile, but when we got up there it was in the middle. He said, "I wouldn't have thought that." It's just little things, knowing where the lines are.

'I'm more comfortable here than at some of the other Open venues. I've played well here before. I know what I'm doing.

'I was worried at first. I came in last Saturday the course will have changed, the set-up might be different. But it's still the same place. I had dinner booked. I hadn't seen my mum in three months.

'I thought I was going to have to spend some time around the greens to prepare and then I got on the road home and rank them and said, "Can we move dinner up? " Because I'd finished early. There's no difference. It's the same course.

McIlroy chats with Justin Thomas as they finalize their preparations on the eve of The Open

'I was making it bigger in my head than it needed to be. I've played this place enough times to know where to miss it, where not to miss it. No matter if there's grandstands or people or it's the same golf course. "

And if, at the end of it, the name of Northern Ireland's greatest golfer is not on the Claret Jug, well he has still contributed immeasurably to arguably the biggest sporting week in the history of his country.

McIlroy was asked what constituted a major event when he was growing up. He cited Northern Ireland football internationals, Ulster rugby matches, the North West 200 motorcycle race.

'If you really wanted to get a sense of what a huge sporting occasion was, you maybe had to go down to Dublin for an Ireland rugby international, or across the water to see Manchester United play, 'he conceded. Yet this week's crowd is 237,750 – the biggest for an Open outside St Andrews.

"I think it just means people have moved on," McIlroy said. 'It's a different time, a very prosperous place. I'm very fortunate that I grew up just outside Belfast and I never saw anything, I was oblivious to it.

'I remember I watched a movie a couple of years ago called '71, about a British soldier who gets stationed at the Palace Barracks in Holywood. That is literally 500 yards from where I grew up. It basically follows him on a night of the Troubles. And I remember asking my mom and dad "Is this actually what happened?"

'It's amazing to think, 40 years on, it's such a great place, no one cares who they are, where they are from and what background. You can have a great life and it doesn't matter what side of the street you come from.

For this week, what matters in Northern Ireland is golf and one golfer in particular

'The legacy of this tournament is that we are able to have this tournament here again. It speaks volumes of where the country and the people are now. We're so far past and it's wonderful. ”

Now, it must be said banners in support of Soldier F in Belfast and Coleraine, the prospect of an Orange march in Portrush on Saturday and murals celebrating William of Orange and the Battle of the Boyne suggest not all of Northern Ireland has escaped history. There could be a further reckoning around a no-deal Brexit, too.

Yet, for this week at least, what matters in Northern Ireland is golf and one golfer in particular.

'It can go one or two ways, right? ' added McIlroy. 'I've always felt I've played my best golf when I've been totally relaxed and loose. And maybe this environment is what I need.

'I'm not saying this is the way I'm going to approach it. I'm still going to try and go out and shoot good scores and do all the right things.

'But it's wonderful for this country, and golf in general, and to be quite a big part of it is an honor and a privilege. I want to keep reminding myself or that because it is bigger than me, right?

'And if you can look at the bigger picture and see that, it takes some pressure off. I still want to play well and concentrate, but at the same time just having that perspective might make me relax a little more. "

That's the plan. The reality will be discovered on the first tee at 10.09 on Thursday morning. Until then at least, in Northern Ireland, optimism abounds.

Shirecorn's Ponyverse Masterpost

So for the last 2 months I've fixated on doing redesigns based somewhat loosely on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I've had so much fun filling in the gaps and extrapolating until my version is less of a redesign and more of an AU.

"Ponies" are three species of sentient hoofed creatures that populate Equestria. They worship giant goddesses that fill the sky and ferry the moon and sun across the world.

How do you decide which animals to use as inspiration for your skyscraper god au redesigns? Do you start with a specific animal in mind and then base a character off of that? Or do you go looking for an animal that matches up with what you want in the pony?

Were you already familiar with all of the animals you chose?

I grew up on national geographic, so I'm already familiar with many many many animals that I can draw upon for design.

When I start a character, I think about what animal works for them either colorwise or thematically. I knew before I even started that Luna would be a Black heron, which is a bird I knew about and loved before the "nighttime! daytime!" meme. It's the perfect way to create night!

Rainbow dash was easy. Peregrine falcon because its the fastest animal on the planet.

Vapor Trail's choice was twofold. I chose a swallow because they're strong flyers, and her story is that she's an unexpectedly skillful flyer that people can't tell at first. Little puffballs being aerodynamic flight machines is a fun reveal. And then tree swallow (with a few things added from barn swallow for fun) come in about the right colors, AND that iridescence that the pretty shading in her mane seems to suggest

A lot of the other choices are based more on colors and aesthetics than themes, or just themes without color. Celestia is a tern/albatross for the long wings (and large size), Fluttershy is a barn owl for the barred markings and color, Twilight has flamingo wings for the color only. Cozy Glow has cockatiel cheeks for the "innocence". Cadance is a swan for its romantic symbolism.

And some aren't based on anything, just me going ham at the design. Sometimes I get help as well!
