It’s been a while since I’ve drawn a pony
Sunset Shimmer was literally terrified by this, because she was originally a pony 😭 Earlier in the short Applejack said “I tried to ask sunset to do this with me, but she just… wasn’t into it”.

Equestria Girls: Choose Your Own Ending, Season 2 “Costume Conundrum”.
“Rarity, Darling, you’ve outdone yourself!”
THEY HAVE A DARLING JAR LMAO
Cozy Glow as a character frustrates me. Moreover, how we never even sniffed in the direction of a redemption arc for her. (Outside of the shared one with Tirek and Chrysalis in S9 that lasted a whole entire 3 minutes). We never get to see her backstory, learn about her family, and we don’t see any motivation for her actions other than simply wanting more power. We see some other villains who do the same throughout the series, but as far as we aware, cozy glow is just a little girl. Literally just a filly. And she never gets a redemption, or help, or learns a valuable lesson.
She is a kid that hates for the sake of hating until eventually she is turned to stone. I can see from one perspective that this was intentional: having a character that is just bad to be bad can be a refreshing break in the well-built stereotype throughout this show that everyone and anyone can be redeemed. But also. She’s a kid. I don’t like it. I would even argue that that throwing a 10 year old into a horrible, vile, dungeon meant for the most vile criminals and beasts, and then turning her to stone, is inherently immoral. But that’s just me.
I’ve read around about theories that Cozy Glow isn’t actually a filly, and is instead some bigger more-ancient evil being trapped in a filly’s body, or just looking like one. When we first met her character, this is also what I thought. All things considered, she totally could be! In which case, I would probably like the way her story ended a lot more. But in canon, we don’t really get anything that hints this is true. She is a cunning and manipulative foal, and her cutie mark is a chess piece. It tracks. She is kind of just evil because she wants to be, and this little kid gets sent to a horrible prison, and then turned to stone
"The creative team considers how the personality of each character translates into facial expressions, body language, props, and home environment. The Mane Six -- Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie -- each have expressions and style characteristics that are unique to that character, as well as general expressions that they all share. According to the DHX Media team, 'There are certainly characters that would make different expressions, like you might do something with Pinkie Pie that you would never do with Applejack or Twilight or Rarity. So we don't have something that's specific for just one character, but we avoid certain expressions if it goes outside their personalities.'"
From My Little Pony: The Art of Equestria by Mary Jane Begin
I did a little MLP gen art style practice and decided to display them all together. The ponies from top to bottom are Galaxy, Ivy, Razzaroo, Rainbow Dash, and Sunny Starscout. The backgrounds were stripped from official art I found on google.
What's your favorite gen?
I have finished Friendship is Magic. I don’t think I will ever be the same. Horses bro.
S9 E18 “She Talks to Angel”
THIS IS EPISODE IS AMAZINGGGG I’m never going to get over Angel in Fluttershy’s body saying “I talk to animals, I wanna marry Discord” PUHLEASEEE I will never recover from this.
That single episode doesn't define Chrysalis as a character, though. If you don't like her then you don't have to like her 🤷
I enjoy her as a character and moreover as a villain because out of all the villains we know of, she was the most justified. She is a creature who feeds on love. For as long as she has known, her and her give survived solely on feeding off of other creatures love. When she was pretending to be Princess Cadence at her wedding, during "This Day Aria", she said "no I do not love the groom, in my heart there is no room". In my eyes, it seems like she's a queen who was doing her best to provide for an entire colony in the only way she has ever known. As her character progresses through the series, we see her succumb to the loneliness of losing her hive. This leads her to "talk to logs alone in the woods". But she doesn't stay like that. When we see her with Lord Tirek and Cozy Glow, she is a complex character with more personality. Battling between her inherent hatred for friendship and the uneasy yet steadily growing relationship she has with Tirek and Cozy Glow. We see her do silly dances, be sarcastic, be afraid and angry, be vulnerable and so much more. We see her exude mass amounts of confidence while still being put in place by Grogar, where she cowers at his feet. Her "going insane" in that episode did not define her character. So yes, I think she's a pretty epic villain.
Chrysalis I love U (the way she’s written is so fun. A pretty epic villain tbh)
Sad Cheese I love you dearly 🧀🧡

Happy Hearts and Hooves Day Everypony! 🧁💗
Flabbergasted beyond their years
I just saw a head canon of polyamorous Cadence (y’know… cause she’s the princess of love). I don’t know why this never occurred to me but it’s genius??? Poly Cadence for the win>>
Me when I’m almost done with season 9 but I’m not ready to move on
On a different note, I have so many ideas and screenshots and brainrot headcanons to share with y’all, it’s not even funny 😵💫
Why did they make King Sombra such a beautiful twink?
Angry siblings <3
This show writes sibling dynamics so well, and in a healthy way for children to understand and learn how to handle inevitable conflict. I think it’s fantastic.
Zephyr Breeze I love you dearly
Look at this man he’s beautiful
Equestria Girls: Better Together Season 2 “Run to Break Free”
For the most part, I really enjoyed this music video. The story is fun and it captures Rainbow Dah’s character super well. Not much that we didn’t already know, but at the end of it we see her do a sonic rainboom!! This is amazing?? And if I’m not mistaken, it’s the first time we’ve seen her do this in Equestria Girls
I have a confession to make though. I didn’t like the song. The lyrics ring true, the melody is fun, but the production falls flat for me. When you look at other songs for Rainbow (such as Awesome as I Wanna Be, a personal fav) they are all more up-beat with heavier drums and stronger vocals. The way the song began made a lot of sense for the music video, because it was Rainbow reflecting on an environment that made her feel dull and bored. But after the switch to her running, I would have loved to see a more dramatic kick up to the song. But that’s just how I feel about it. 🤷🏻♂️
I guess Fluttershy just has a pet lobster now 🦞(if he doesn’t return in later shorts, I will be devastated)
^this is from Equestria Girls: Better Together “I’m on a Yacht” music video (from the Spring Breakdown movie)
You can't even compare to how much she eats 💅
I finished watching Equestria Girls: Spring Breakdown for the first time and I loved it 😭
Some of the plot lines didn't make sense to me, but overall it was a lot of fun and I ADORED how the eqg mane 6 got to visit the pony universe
But man oh man, when are these girls gonna catch a break?? Can't they get ONE vacation that doesn't go to shit, PLEASE😭
This is actually spectacular art?? I'm obssesed
"To be honest, I see these three as a family, and I tried to draw them in the Equestria Girls style. I imagined Chrysalis as a goth mom, Cozy as a bratty little schoolgirl who always gets her way, and Tirek as a metalhead dad. Hope you enjoy the drawing!"
