Probs Spoiling For Myself (after Two Play-throughs With Respected Doctor Werner) But This Is My First

So I guess I’m using Wednesday as an excuse to post on here. That, or I’m obsessed with new Pentiment brainrot but I need to spread out my Tumblr postings so I save it till Wednesday each week…

Diana and Werner Stolz. One has trouble fitting in, one has trouble fitting in bc of his ego. Silly friends.

The princess of love and the queen who feeds on it 💕🕸️

It’s my birthday! 🎉 Also happy 491 years since the legal declaration of death of Andreas Maler! Anno domini 1534!!! ALSO FINALLY made an official reference for my pathetic self insert OC that no one asked for!!!❤️ (but no srsly this is my first OC I actually took seriously to plan out so I’m happy that some yall like her💔) Here are some Diana funfacts on this special indulgent day! (cringe)

Diana is the second eldest child of many siblings in Florence! Her father is a physician? Merchant? and her mother is a noble woman? so they are somewhat well off financially (Still…a work in progress on that fact). Her favorite uncle is a sculptor and artist. Diana is kind of the odd one out of her family but she has a fond relationship with her younger brother, Jacobo.

Her father signed her off to marriage, one of the reasons is that she is considered “too old” to be living at home, while her younger sisters were able to find suitors much quicker than her. (“I hope she ends up with a cruel old man, that will discipline her for sure!” whispered one of her sisters, gleefully.)

Diana is prone to anger outbursts but these have somewhat subsided after being away from home. She can oddly throw a good punch, her brothers taught her to.

She is classist and finds it hard to empathize with others. This is much like Werner before Act 3.

Oh, Diana hated Tassing when she first arrived here. It took her a while to open up to most of the townsfolk. She’s good friends with Else? but still kept her distance. Distance especially from Lenhardt.

She can’t sew, she’s bad at baking, she tries to help Werner around the house and his job, but he’s fine handling it himself. She feels like she’s not as hardworking and resilient as the other townswomen (That's how she thinks though. Ofc it’s more complicated than that, it is their lifestyle after all. Diana does have the luxury of not working on a farm everyday).

No one in town knows why she avoids the St. John’s Eve bonfire every year. As the player, if you go to North town before joining everyone at the fire, you could see Diana sitting outside her house, drawing. If you strike a conversation with her, you get the choice to say hi to her and simply leave or allow her to continuously talk and reminisce about how her hometown would celebrate the same holiday. You get to even look on what she’s drawing, if you’re willing to. With that, she will open up to you more.

Andreas: Why are you not with Werner at the bonfire this evening? Diana: Oh. I have a terrible migraine today.

-If you failed the persuasion check for Werner at the inn in act 2, in act 3, Werner will be a drunkard and rude to Magdalene. Diana will be a shut-in and her depression is now her normal. They both don't fit in Tassing anymore.

Stygian might be my favorite of the Pillars of Equestria and it's always made me sad that he wasn't used more in the show. So I decided to team up with my new friend Orin who's taken the time to make a bunch of amazing Pillar redesigns (same person I made this Starswirl animation rig for as a gift) that i'll be incorporating into my future animation project simply titled the "Tree of Harmony AU" at the moment until I can come up with a better name. The Pillars are very important characters to Harmony's story so I wanna do them justice. Listed below is some context for these sketches provided by my friend Orin and some written bits from myself. This is a Stygian who's been separated from the Pony of Shadows for some time, but is now dealing with the consequences of dark magic. I've had so much fun throwing ideas back and forth for this AU and I can't wait to share more in the near future.

The Pony of Shadows is not so easily purged, even with the combined strength of the past and present Elements of Harmony. A fragment of the shadow lives on in Stygian, inextricably bound to him, but small enough that it can no longer influence him. He has abilities superficially similar to King Sombra's, albeit on a much smaller scale, and definitely needs practice before he can comfortably wield this new strength.

The lingering dark magic corruption from Stygian's time with the shadow is visible on different parts of his body, mainly his eyes when using magic, some discoloration on the inside of his mouth and tongue, and his magic color.

As Stygian exerts better control of the fragment of shadow still attached to him, he eventually gains the ability to "Shadow Walk" or travel between shadows. This temporary form makes him look eerily similar to the Pony of Shadows. Pretty spooky.

Princess Luna ends up becoming Stygian's new mentor to help him gain better control of his magic corruption since she has direct experience with dark magic when she turned into Nightmare Moon.

Stygian's special talent is writing. His autobiography, Me and My Shadow, was an instant hit not just because he's a pony from a time long passed, but because he's a genuine wordsmith.  Stygian redesign by Orin331

Good morning! It’s Werner Wednesday!

Werner and Diana headcanons mwuhaha

They sleep in separate small rooms (I think it’s normal around the time for married couples to have separate bedrooms?)

Diana is a heavy sleeper, she can even sleep through a fire if god willing, wait-

She used to wake up super late, has worked on the habit somewhat

Werner, despite keeping the tidy and prestigious exterior, has a room cluttered with notes and books. Nerd.

He can be an all-nighter if he must

Celebrating wiping the floor with Chronos by redoing my megthanzag keepsake drawing from 4 years ago! Still really wish Zag could gift Meg and Than some laurel keepsakes <3

andreas and werner are literally foils. man who got what he wanted but was deeply unhappy anyway vs man who found a way to be content despite his circumstances not being what he wanted

— Mistress Mülleryn, you're not taking part in the festivities?

— Oh, if only I could. I like seeing the community come together, especially in these times of... strife.
