..so I Got Really Into Strange Magic Because I Suddenly Remembered I Was OBSESSED With It When It Came

twilight's castle redesign! 👑🌳🩷

finally cleaned up that sketch i did like 2 years ago now lol

i always wished for a scene where twilight would step into this new castle grown from the ashes of her old home, & see that not only were all her books saved, but the tree had added even more :"")

imagining solider boy calling misha’s character “angel” or something stupid to reference spn right now but in that bitchy way he always says shit

Russel ‘Rusty’ Sullivan, pleased to make your acquaintance!

This is Rusty, he’s roughly 96 years old (though he doesn’t look it)! He runs Midnight Fuel, your first and only option for fuel and trail-mix in the middle of nowhere, Florida! It’s been owned by his family (more specifically, just Rusty) for a very long time, and is a staple of the Bitter Springs community (though Rusty isn’t very jazzed to be included in all the warm fuzzies, he’s a bit of a curmudgeon) Rusty here made a slightly monkey’s paw flavored deal with Arthur Warren back in the 50s, and now he has locationally specific immortality. His gas station is as far as he can venture outside of town before Ye Old Stab Wounds reopen

His hobbies include repairing old radios, boxing, and trading possibly cursed and/or magical items under the table.

Cas (to Anna): Together? I am NOTHING like you, you fell!

poor dude’s like ‘nonoNO, I can’t have anything in common with an angel who sacrificed her divinity because she had fallen in love with humanity so completely as to tear her own body asunder for them. That would mean acknowledging that i’m gay. (which i am not).’

I should have known if I brought up wc I’d have to talk about. But it includes of a lot of issues with feral/furry designs that use feathers in hair. I don’t necessarily know why the conversation only started and stayed in the wc fandom when horse/wolf/lion feral fandoms are still doing the same thing.

Now having feathers in the design isn’t a racial attack first thing off because there’s a lot of context around what feather’s are used, the shape, and where they are placed. If the look is anything like "rave Coachella looking tribal fantasy feathers and beads" it’s probably insensitive. I’m not to sure why it has to be feathers, I honestly think the wc fandom are holding themselves back when it comes to forwarding designs in a unique way. Tail feathers are also left out in this conversation as well, one or two feathers or feathers in the shape of a birds tail are fine but bunched together feathers are leaning to close to how we have our horses wear feathers. This is in the context of the design already looking like a "medicine cat" already its bad. it’s like those yt girls wear feather head bands but animal addition.

I’ve talked about this before but silhouettes are so important, like Native American stereotypes are on the global scale you cannot escape this silhouette you just have to avoid it. There’s no "but it’s in so many other cultures" no it’s not it’s totally unique to our people that’s why people flock to it because it’s so "mysterious, sacred" whatever their weird twisted up reason is. There’s so many unique ways to break this silhouette you just gotta be more creative. And I feel like instead of being more creative and coming up with totally different ideas it’s just easier to lean on these visual native stereotypes to get across "wild mythical nature fantasy"

I could get into the horse fandom and the weird situations they’re doing over there but that’s another crazy thing. I should say because someone will ask, ostrich feathers on like show horses or knights or puss in boots style is fine not the same thing (breaking the silhouette) they’re not related.

And it comes down to understanding what you are drawing and where this imagery comes from, I’m not gonna get my feelings hurt because of your design but I’ll question why are you drawing stuff like that. You cant remove that cultural/stereotypical imagery, and if you don’t care about it then you don’t care about the history or how it looks on your character and art.

I made it this far on the internet but if you want to be conscious about these things good on yea it doesn’t take much☺️👍

Edit: can’t believe I gotta say this but yes other cultures utilize feathers, if people are using feathers that are used in their culture then don’t harass them. That’s weird have some common sense. Ostrich feathers, peacock feathers it’s actually so interesting how native birds to an area affect the culture there.

i’ve been playing around with mimicking the MLP;FiM style and i’m working on an adopt batch using it! its been really fun

just finished s8e6, honestly it was just so fun. one of my favorites of this season so far. I love Garth’s character so much, he’s such a sweetie. and now i’m onto episode 7 which obviously i like because. Crowley. Any episode i get to see him be a wittily sarcastic asshole is a good episode.
