I feel like Muir isn’t afraid to tell a story. In the sense that she writes like she doesn’t care what a reader thinks of her.
When I first read GtN, I found it as very average SF/F fare and my heart was barely in it. I felt like the ending was messy with its battle royale aspects and I wrote Gideon off as a standard edgy YA-style protagonist. The narrative sounded so simplistic and I didn’t feel attached to the cast of characters. On its surface, GtN is a very standard high-concept story with a stereotypical summary on goodreads. I was ready to write Muir off as an ok and middling debut writer.
Then I picked up Harrow.
It was like Muir was a sleeper agent and just blew my mind. I could see her skill in her craft and my investment did a complete 180. I had to reread GtN and realized all the things I missed and all the things that were planted from the start that were hidden by Gideon’s ignorance, flippancy, and naivety—the reasons why I wrote the book off. I underestimated Muir because I thought Gideon’s voice was her voice.
The writer is a liar, an illusionist, and a conman and I fell for Muir’s game. And that is so refreshing.

More horse art 🗣️🗣️ Anyway in my au Twilight is also a batpony. As such, after all the batponies went into hiding she was left alone until she fatefully was found by Queen Celestia. Cadance and Shining Armor, a young royal married couple were asked by Celestia to raise Twilight as Celestia could not bring herself to do it. Shining and Cadance were close to Celestia and reliable ponies, and as the princess of love, Cadance and by extension her husband — were deemed as the perfect candidates to raise Twilight by Celestia. Twilight isn’t related to either Cadance or Shining in this au. Twilight grows up knowing little of her heritage except what she learns from books, and cultivates a strong affiliation for magic. As such, she is encouraged by Shining and Cadance to go to Celestia’s school of magic and her story progresses from there. She grows up very loved by Cadance and Shining and sees them as older siblings/adoptive parents. (This is subject to change)
i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things
