A concept my boyfriend and I tossed back and forth a while ago that I suddenly remembered and felt like drawing; The Rogue Toad -Also known as The Red Rogue! We came up with him after tossing back and forth ideas for party members for a stealth-based Mario game.
This Toad, after a youth of servitude to the Princess, finally snapped and had enough of the mistreatment. He fled the castle, abandoning his post and turning to a life of crime.
The Red Rogue hates Peach with a passion and actually runs a halfway house for Toads that want to escape her terrible management style. The footstool punishments, the payment only in hugs and kisses, having your life risked for a princess who doesn't know how to defend herself, getting underestimated just because of their species - Toads that wanted to get away from it could go there. Most of them go back, merely using the house as a place they can relax and be themselves.
The Red Rogue is now the head of a criminal empire, pulling strings only a Toad could because no one expects much from them. He can go undercover as a normal Toad, no one noticing his distinguishing big eyebrows or shroom scar. He's even gone back to the castle, and been face to face with the Princess. Just goes to show she doesn't really notice them much if she doesn't realize his features.
His scar is from when he got royal footstool duty during the princess's "that time of the month"..... Her monthly foot fungus. What? What did you think it was? She lives around mushrooms constantly, of course she gets monthly fungus. The spot got infected very badly and part of his shroom had to be cut out. Leaving the scar.
LOOK!! LOOK IN THE UPPER RIGHT!!! IT’S COVAH!!! thank you so much for drawing him I love him so much ;w;
Annnnd done. Thanks for coming to my request stream. :D

Bitch Crystal just looking fabulous as always
Some background students, and a minorly relevant student from hybrid high!
Drosden (Illithid/Drider hybrid - He/Him - Junior) is a pretty laid-back, token cishet dude (but like. good and nice). On the football team. Just kinda all around a relaxed dude who looks after the little guy.
Buck (Aarakocra/human hybrid - He/Him - Sophmore) is the school's star track runner. He's super into anime and Naruto runs everywhere. He’s a real “bro” guy and refers to everyone as “bro” or “dude”. You wanna watch this new isikei that came out, bro? Or you wanna talk about the latest issue of that one manga, dude? Grew up with Zipper and sees her as a little sister, even if he's since been adopted out of the foster home they grew up in.
Zipper (unknown hybrid/classified as a "chimera" - They/She - Freshman) is incredibly eccentric. They adore cryptozoology, and like talking about the logistics behind (silly- not actively harmful) conspiracy theories. Whether they actually believe these theories is up to debate. Currently living in a foster home that promises to keep her and her fellow fosters homed even after she ages out of the system. Zipper is partnered with Percy for a group project.
Marlowe:
is uhm.... is marlowe okay? reading his family situation makes me worried.
Marlowe is perfectly fine. Definitely not shoving down any and all negative feelings attached to this situation. Definitely doesn't have self image issues with the fact that Dave hasn't formally adopted him yet. Or with the fact no one has expressed interest in adopting him. Definitely doesn't have commitment issues after seeing the absolute horrendous outcome of their own parent's marriage. He definitely doesn't dread every visit, certainly not holding out a sliver of hope in his heart of heart that his parents won't dead name him- or even pay attention to anything he tries to talk about for even a minute.
No, Marlowe is perfectly fine.
Why do you ask?
Here is the penultimate gem for my gem bomb; B*tch Crystal! (Yes. This is a thing.)
B*tch Crystal is an entirely unique gem, There are no other Bitch Crystals in existence. He was one of a few experimental gem types created by Pink Diamond to prove she was ready for a colony, whose recipe was lost when she was “shattered”.
B*tch Crystal is gossipy, flamboyant, loud, and extra. No one really likes him except for Blue Diamond.
I’m gonna make him Blue Diamond’s right hand in my “replace all the canon gems with ocs” au. For, B*tch Crystal is one of Pink Diamond’s lost treasures. A reminder of her. He does admire Blue, and is grateful for the role. And Blue is very protective of him despite his personality. However, she doesn’t really refer to him as “her’s” very often. She only refers to him as Pink’s. This makes B*tch Crystal quietly unhappy, but he never voices it.
B*tch Crystal tries not to think of Pink much. He only really met her once when he was born and then was ushered away for testing of his abilities. He only heard that Pink was shattered when Blue came to get him. However, he does wish he could have gotten to know her a bit better.
B*tch Crystal is not close to the other right hands, both Dolomite and Brimstone finding him annoying and tiring. He actively challenges Yellow’s rule the most, and doesn’t listen to her at times - unable to be shattered because of his closeness to Blue. He does listen to White quietly, but inwardly doesn’t like her judgemental stare. Out of everyone, B*tch Crystal feels the worst annoying Brimstone (Because Brimstone is pure and doesn't deserve this).
When Steven comes to homeworld as Rose, he does quietly ask why he did it. And if he knew her well. When it’s thought Steven is Pink, he wants desperately to know why he hid. Was it something B*tch Crystal did? But, he hides it under confidence and jokes. When Steven is found to be his own person, Bitch Crystal still wants to know him better. And goes to Earth on a quest to find himself and why Pink fell for Earth. Back to his flamboyant self the whole way.
B*tch Crystal identifies as genderqueer and prefers he/him pronouns but is comfortable with she/they pronouns as well.
thank you so much for drawing him! I love him in your style!!

Do not make any pun with that name I beg you
Time for Element swap au Twilight Maelstrom, the element of Loyalty, and her lovely future cat wife, Lovely Grace!
Twilight does not talk about her childhood. For, it was a time she’d rather not revisit mentally. She was raised on the streets of Canterlot. She does not know what her family was like, for she was raised initially in an orphanage that had no records of who her biological family was. All she knew was the blood tests, which reveal a mixed heritage of kirin, thestral, and donkey.
Twilight quickly learned her mixed-blood was not appealing the average Canterlot noble, and went to the streets as a young filly. It was best she learned the ways of the streets now, before she was subject to them suddenly as soon as she became legal.
She was scooped up by Canterlot’s underbelly and learned the ways of crime. Even if she was a child, the gang she found was mostly earth ponies and pegasi, which were looked down upon in Canterlot. A unicorn was needed for any magic escapes needed. Even if she was a child.
During her time on the streets, she found that the “crime lords” weren’t necessarily “evil” as she had been taught at the orphanage. Rather, they were misunderstood and merely labeled as criminals for their appearance, race, or talents.
One day, her gang was arrested for “kidnapping” a foal. That foal being Twilight of course. Twilight rushed to her gang’s aid and went before Celestia herself. Spouting the injustices and kindness this gang had shown her more than any other pony had in her life. Celestia was moved by the plight of these ponies and started programs to help those in similar situations not turn to crime, and to eliminate not unicorn racism in canterlot. She knows it will take many generations to undo years of hate, but it will be worth it. Celestia also gave them all jobs in the castle as an apology for her guard’s rashness.
Including Twilight.
Twilight was given the duty to watch the underground of Canterlot. For, she seemed to know it best. She helped those who chose a life of crime; whether it be through carefully getting them back onto their feet- or making sure their “crimes” just weren’t harmful to the public at large. Any drugs they had were in a reasonable range, their influence isn’t reaching terrible heights, they aren’t physically or mentally harming anypony, or any other number of things.
This is what her cutie mark represents; her ability to help balance lawful and unlawfulness, and keep things in check. In harmony, if you will.
Twilight is still sent to Ponyville during the thousandth summer sun celebration because Celestia has a hunch that she was one of the new wielders of the elements of harmony after she found she could no longer wield them.
Lovely Grace was born in Abyssinia, like most catfolk. She heard tales of Equestria, a place where friendship was magic and things would be better than her harsh, dingy village. She moved there as soon as she had enough coin, and opened a tailor shop in the cheapest spot she could find; Ponyville. She was so happy to be among these bright and friendly ponies, she even changed her name to a more “ponyish” name. She is chipper, bright, optimistic, and loves and trusts anyone. Twilight will end you if you hurt her.
Finally; Element swap au Rainbow Dash- the element of Empathy. And, her future wife, Wonder!
I decided to scrap Magic as an element from this au. As, it always felt a lil weird to me that they had all these elements based around friendship. And, suddenly, they throw magic in there. And make it the most op. Nah. So, we have Empathy! A few other concepts I was working with was supportiveness and forgiveness, but I thought those didn’t think that fit this version of Rainbow Dash.
Anyway, on to Rainbow Dash herself!
The race against the boy bullies was never finished, as Hoops and Rainbow Dash crashed after Hoops attempted to bump Rainbow Dash so she would crash. Due to the race being unsupervised, and no pony going to check on Fluttershy who had fallen, all three children were sent to detention.
This started Rainbow on a path of delinquency, causing her to rebel more and more. Cause more damage. And chaos. At some point she did it because ponies expected it of her. She’s not sure when though.
Rainbow was forced into an “after school program” that would keep her out of trouble. For this program, she had to chose an extra curricular to do. She went through them all, causing problems and getting kicked out.
Until she found the science program.
Here, she could cause as much chaos as possible- and it was seen as a positive result! The cool explosions and things she was making to bring home- they were actually pretty neat!
This program is where Rainbow Dash earned her cutie mark, representing her talent with more action oriented science. She wants results!
Wonder was born to a pure pegasus family and was raised with pegasus expectations. She eventually earned her talent in organization and became the manager/organizer of the Wonder Bolts, which she was named after.
She is, however, shadowed and not thanked a lot for her work. Not many ponies know it’s her making sure Soarin isn’t late for that show that inspired you to go into flight because he had a hangover. Or making sure no pony notices that pregnancy until the pegasus is ready to announce it. It was a thankless job, and the Wonder Bolts really took advantage of her and her kindness and patience.
Until Rainbow Dash wins a day with the Wonder Bolts.She, at first, laughs off the teasing and shadowing of Wonder. These are her heroes! It has to be okay.... right? But, eventually, she sees it isn’t okay. And she stands up for Wonder.
The Wonder Bolts realize how terrible they’ve been to Wonder and have an appreciation show for her. Wonder, in thanks for making helping her out, gives Rainbow her rainbow item instead of Spitfire.
Wonder herself is a bit of a shy dork. Like a fusion of Fluttershy and Twilight. These two love having book dates with the newest Daring Do!
