Sketch Q&A Open

Does Rosemary have a girlfriend / boyfriend?

I apologize for all my long questions I'm just really interested in your character's and how deep their inner workings and relationships are! In earlier renditions of Cloudy's design she was friends with Vogue and Zee, does this still hold true for the newest iteration of Cloudburst? If so how did the trio meet and how would you perceieve they would get along with the current Cloudy in comparison to your older idea? How do you think they'd feel about Cloudy's potential relationship with Zipperflash, do you think they'd give her a hardtime, would Zee and Cloudy give Vogue a hardtime about her on and off again relationship with Phoniex? If Cloudy, Vogue, and Zee are no longer a trio in the current iteration who would you consider to be Cloudy's closest companions outside of her family? As for the Rainbow Dash brood, we've seen Aero and Phoenix's rough history with trying to be competitive and live up to their mother's lineage, has Cloudy ever been put under the same pressure by her mom? Does she hold a grudge on her mother for showing Aero favoritism, does she have a secret grudge on Aero for being their mother's so called favorite? I'm sure growing up in a household where your mother and older sister were always fighting and yelling wasn't easy and there has to be some internalized issues because of this do you think Cloudy would have issues with confrontation or even resent the sounds of yelling/fighting? Again I apolgozie for the long question, but I'm sure I'll be back with more later on!

Has there ever been a minion in Montezuma’s group that wasn’t aware of the romantic and sexual tension between him and Smokescreen after the fact that it was silently attributed to their fights? Has there ever been a minion that has actually hurt/maimed Smokescreen as a duty to the Montezuma?

I'm just here to say I love any of your horse drawings

Melody Williamson

Let's rip me heart out and ask how Skyla first reacted when she heard Flurry had left? Or, milder: Cupcake's reaction to getting her cutie mark?

Colbyr

So, We've seen stuff between Pandora and Skyla(Panny bugging the holy bejesus out of her for kicks), but was there ever much interaction between Pan and Flurry Heart, before Flurry ran away? I have been kind of curious how Pandora got on with her older cousin.

ElementInfusion

I second this. I’m really curious to see how they would get on later in life.

MEllegoo

Whats' the worst experience (non spoiler anyway) between Cupcake and Pandora?

Onefoursix Tym

By the way, whatever happened to Shadow Blade? Is he living his best life?

ApofisNecros

I recall you saying that Irie and Artemis had a bit of a falling out after Irie was love-starved. how did Irie get to that point? did the two ever patch things up?

Gigas Frostburne

In an au, where Butch lived, who would win in a boxing fight? Butch or Phoenix?

has pandora ever met trouble shoes? seeing as he's (potentially) dating both of her parents!

Sid G

Also how do Chrysalis and Celestia feel about Joe?

Does iredescence feel pressure to live up to her mother in a similar way Pandora feels like she has to be perfect and live up to her mother’s expectations and Skyla feels like she has to live up to all of Flurry’s ‘perfectness’. Does iredescence struggle with her public appearance in much the same way Panny does due to being half Changeling? Did she go through a similar phase where her subjects were afraid of her? If so how does/did she cope with these self doubts?

I'd like to maybe see how PB and Midnight met and how they started dating~

Cerulean

What's twilight and spikes relationship in your universe? I kinda got the mom and son vibes from some drawings waaaaaay back, also it's because I've always wondered about twilight being a totally grandma with smokescreen! And discord having starring challenges with this small cookie thief

Could we see,,, iredescence’s,,,, wings ,,,, maybe her sense of fashion,,, or a typical night out for her as a massive royal flirt? I imagine she goes to the dumpiest, hole in the wall places and just hits on everyone who stares a little too long

D

Do any of your characters suffer with social anxiety? And if they do, how do they attempt to cope with it?

ApofisNecros

If this doesn’t fall into spoiler territory could you expand more on Pandora and Magnolia May’s previous relationship and how they are now? It’s been confirmed they had romantic feelings for each other in their teen years do they ever reconcile and reconnect as adults and at least come to an understanding or does May continue to treat Pandora as an outcast and a freak and ignore any sort of romantic feelings she might have once had? Does Panny hold any bitter feelings towards Magnolia for not hearing her out and understanding that she just wanted to be perfect for her and try not to embarrass her?

What kind of bonding activities do grandma (aunt?) Twilight and little Smokescreen get up to?

TheTabbyBadger

I remember reading that Ellie interviews other cryptids when she’s older, do you happen to have any ideas on who some of her interviewees could be? Like Bigfoot, Mothman, or maybe the Equestrian equivalent of the Loch Ness monster? I’d be super curious as to how cryptids as a whole operate in Equestrian society too, like whether they were shunned in the past or just prefer to be left alone, and whether they might consider letting themselves be more known as Equestria continues to diversify and people like Ellie bring their stories to the forefront. But that’s also a more world building-based question and definitely doesn’t need to be answered with a drawing. If I ever get too wordy with my comments please let me know, I have ADHD and my brain just loves to spit out more and more thoughts as I go lol

DragonCookies

Do Ellie and Cloudy ever interact? Ellie give off similar vibes as cloudy to me idk 😅

feathermaws

What are the princesses' day to day activities consist of? Are there constant lectures and events to attend? What do they do when they just get to chill? (I was thinking of Luna, but am curious about the others too.)

QuietZen

What do Spike and Thorax think of Montezuma?

I remember you mentioning a while back that earth ponies are drawn to revering or admiring Celestia due to her power over the sun and representing the harvest and Groger drawing in admirers from outsiders and the rebellious. I'm just wondering who Luna would appeal to in that kind of way? Also, are Celestia and Luna "gods" in your version of Equestria?

Bigsmile

What's something that makes Chakra truly happy?

How do Wave Rider and Primrose get along? 😊 I remember you said they met at a camp

I’m just gonna assume you meant for me to answer this myself, because I’m not sure how to translate an answer into a drawing. I don’t know if I believe there are simply “bad people”. No one, certainly not in my stories, is objectively good or bad. Montezuma would definitely argue that Daring Do is not a good person, but I’m certain a recipient of one of Daring’s various charities would disagree. As would a Daring Do diehard fan, as would Daring Do herself. Morality is extremely relative, it all depends on where you’re standing. Fancy Pants can be perceived as “somewhat upstanding”, sure. He’s very warm and patient and he loves his family. Buuut I’ve also written him as a ruthless capitalist with extremely unethical business ventures, a former philanderer (in The Lies We Tell, it’s revealed that Fancy cheated on Fleur many, many times), and a hypocrite (he is angry at Fleur for her own affair with Blueblood). Do these terrible things cancel out his later kindness? Do these past actions undo his growth into a kindly philanthropist? Do his faults (avarice, arrogance, gluttony) mean he cannot also be a doting father to Vogue? What makes someone “good” or “bad”? When it comes to morality, I don’t believe people are simply black or white. Rather, everyone is a different, ever-changing shade of grey. That’s what makes people so interesting! Our actions and choices are never set in stone, the values we cling to can change in an instant! It’s wrong to steal, right? Is it still wrong if you’re hungry? Is it wrong to steal something back if it was stolen from you? Further compounding the issue, nobody enters the world with their own objective value system. We absorb our values from our environment, our parents, our schooling, society...all of which are very subjective systems. Daring Do was not born determined to plunder/destroy ancient temples, she is simply the product of an equinecentric society that perceived her exploits as noble and good. We see that Daring fully thinks of herself as a hero and she’s never given a reason to question that, not until Ahuizotl reveals that from his perspective, Daring is a thief and a brute, no better than Cabelleron. See what I mean about morality being relative? Daring Do is not a bad person, Fancy Pants is not a bad person, everyone is simply….a person. I showcase their lives, their decisions, and their reasoning, and leave it up to you guys to argue what is moral and what isn’t, what is unconscionable and what is justifiable.

What is the relationship like between Ellie and Odd in their adult years? Would there still be a sort of mentor role from Odd or would it still be that mutual just 'getting each other' vibe?

Ari Nala

Please.... more Twaddles.... por favor...... tell us more about his relationships with his peers. How uncomfy does he make them?

HiscottiBiscotti

Ooh, this sounds like fun! Does Elle get along with other kids her age? Or are they... shy around a chupacabra?

SmilesPerHour

What does prima donna's talent end up being? if that's spoiler territory then what's her relationship with her parents like?

yaboyrobin

This is weird but what makes it you decide who is and is not bad person in your verse? Like why is Daring Do a bad person and yet Fancy Pants is somewhat upstanding?

Vio_dacreator

what's the relationship between zee and phoenix like? since zee is vogue's best friend, i imagine she's heard quite a bit about how "brutish and horrible" nix is, but also i could see the two getting along quite well (while also knowing full well vogue has a thing for "brutish and horrible" mares lmao)

cactus bastrop

Do Bruce and his old bully friend (sorry, I can't remember his name) ever see each other after they're both out of school? What is their relationship like?

Kas

What is fancy pants special talent? Assuming every pony has a special talent they’re born for, he must have one. We know and see that prince Blueblood struggles with his own identity due to the fact he never explored his talent. Is fancy just all his name equals out to? Just some rich guy that is good with money? Or does he have a gift in your au?

Solnexux

Wait why are y’all saying can’t wait I meant you could start asking now

Lopoddity

Sounds exciting!

Can't wait!!! =D
