More Practice Art, a 3 hour speed-draw

Starfield! 3/7 mysterious special horses done.

I noticed a reference image for an unrelated D&D campaign had MACHINE ART that slipped through last session unaddressed. so I scrambled to replace it with a cruder but human-made facsimile

I'm doing my part to fight the robot war

the problem with gamification is that websites never implement it right. absolutely nobody wants a trophy for making 1000 posts. instead when one of your posts gets a lot of notes you should earn a rare collectible item you can trade with other users. and when someone's post is really obnoxious you should get to call in a boss raid and if enough people join in and deplete the post's health bar then it should get permanently wiped from the servers

Twilight never learned to make friends in Azzy's AU, becoming Princess of Magic and Knowledge but keeping her antisocial personality. Remaining an introvert for an extra four years before the story started and she was forced into a teaching position at a very different "School of Harmony". All the students have been content to leave her alone in her study after classes... except one who's always finding new ways to drag her into schemes like raising the dead, dismantling reverse-cyborgs, and worst of all - Social interaction!

A day late for Twilight Day but I still had to do something! I haven't actually done a work without an OC somewhere yet either.

Adore this take, and strongly agree with it. If Discord had ever actually proven himself capable of half-functioning independently I'd have accepted his "redemption" more but as it went he was always more of a problem than he was worth.

I'm invested now, why don't you like fluttercord?

Okay, here we go then, why don't I like one of the most famous and prolific ships on the fandom?

First of all, there's a major power imbalance at play, you know, chaos god that can reshape mind and reality with a snap of his fingers matched with a regular pegasus girl, and an drastic age difference (which could be discarded cause Fluttershy's an adult, just worth a mention.)

But the primary issue comes from the canon itself, especially with how they came together. Fluttershy was just shafted for her full responsibility to be to make sure Discord gets better; Something that already was a strange choice of Celestia (like girl why are you throwing a random mortal you dont know that well onto a godlike chaos being even you struggled with? It reeks of writers already having come up a solution and not wanting to build a foundation to lead there.) and canon proves again and again that if discord doesnt have fluttershy around, he will make bad choices and hurt people, something that gets proven again and again all the way to gen fucking five. That's textbook codependency and it makes it even more weird by the incredible, terrifying power imbalance. Discord isnt just an alicorn, hes the only one of his kind because of how powerful he is, and his powers are insanely dangerous to have on a relationship with a mortal. Like, you saw how he was when he was jealous of Fluttershy for having a diffrent friend. Can you imagine what he'd do if somebody flirted with her? (even if they weren't dating, if Fluttershy said she got a girlfriend or whatever, Discord would straight up throw rainbow dash on a labyrinth of infinite agony)

I think my primary issues come from the canon because he is always abusing his powers, never using them wisely, and always causing trouble (WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL POINT OF EVEN BRINGING HIM BACK TOO)-- And the ratio of slaps on the wrist lower dramatically by the end (the final conflict is entirely his fault purely because he thought having a conflict would be cool)-- All of which just makes him untrustworthy to be on a relationship with a mortal hes obssesed with. He'd be like a yandere boyfriend exept a chaos god, which, yikes!

Srsly the fact that cozy glow the toddler gets sent to hell and turned to stone instead of the chaos god that sponsored her is just plain WEIRD. It's a writers problem.

There's a reasons why Alicorns have to ascend, earn their power-- And why they tend to abuse it less. Being born with power just begets a diffrent attitude towards it; Which is smth that the writers do interpret quite well, with how Discord acts. he has no empathy, he doesnt need to care, because reality is his to shape, and then boom, teaching someone to be better just became a lot harder. Good character! Very funny, very well designed and voiced-- But goddamn he's weirdly written as a ""Good"" guy.

Now lets finally turn to the woman in the relationship. because Fluttershy is a normal mortal gal with a normal mortal life with her own needs, which generally shouldn't have to involve her entire life or routine on making sure a godlike manbaby does the right thing with his powers. it doesn't feel like the kind of thing that has any consent to it, after all, discord doesnt need to ask for anything, he can just do. (THANKS FOR THE IDEA CELESTIA) It just reeks of a kind of misoginy-ass writing where the woman has to bend over backwards for the man.

Its like the shy pegasus was just. Set up for LIFE on this strange relationship. Its kind of creepy.

And Fluttershy just deserves better than him in my opinion; And she can do better, too. Also it doesnt help that you know-- 99% other ship with fluttershy dont have any of these issues lmao. Even canon Rainbow Dash would treat her better, so i dont bother with Fluttercord ever!

How to Horse Tumblr

Other horses have many friends across the multiverse! How is it so?

Please tell me the secrets. I don't have to actually message people first do I? Why can't they just all come ask ME things first! That seems like a much more sustainable arrangement, in my opinion. There's an open box right there!

Have only written publicly for a year and already am finding all sorts of phenomenons lol

Cackle Crane - Wild form.

Who's the bestest girl? Who's everypony's favorite demon pony?

It's her, and if you disagree she'll bite you.

How do you get started with actually interacting with people on this website, aside from just looking at other people's posts?
