Celie is getting closer to a heart attack every day the games go on. Azure's powers of persuasion continue to evolve to the borderline supernatural. It's probably not a great look to pass out on the roof of a hotel with your mentor, but she's been causing controversy the entire week, why stop now?
idk what this is i just wanted to give yu guys something rq before school consumes me againnnn and i cant just do nothing and pass anyway like ive always done the past few years, its getting serious now </3 Please bring me back to kindergarten. i cant do this. why cant i have "i love studying and math" autism instead of mlp autism.
I really like teasing out bits of my silly horse AU but watching people actually analyze things about the original show (and spinoffs) has sort of reminded me to know my audience. Tumblr is ultimately a largely clean place now, and I can only be so weird on main.
I think I'll keep it to the basic level of little lore teases I've done so far but full Ask-Blog plans for the future are better spun off into its own blog so I can have a warning about the... weird, uncomfortable, and frankly problematic parts of their universe that would probably alienate those that aren't as immersed in it.
This place will at least host a safer, more sanitized version of events played out through art until I find a better way to put the whole ugly story out there. Just hope I don't lose anyone in the process.
Have only written publicly for a year and already am finding all sorts of phenomenons lol
The Chrysalis x Cadance pairing is so much funnier if its a polycule
Sorry I've been gone for a week! I've been dissociating from reality. The whole time yes.
Playing a variant of Azure (known by Luna's nickname for her, Little Star) in a Pathfinder campaign as an awakened animal. So here's her but as a much more normal talking horse.
Shin Godzilla wouldn't have happened if they just gave that fish some aspirin
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!
My Partner loves spamming little Autism creatures in chat and I had to counter with a 20 minute speed draw.
She/TheyColorful Cartoon Horses are my biggest special interest.I upload art I do here when I feel like sharing it.
