Species Notes: The Storm King

got to thinkin about this dull sadsack of a villain today

specifically his big sharp teeth and forward-facing eyes, which suggest the Storm King is a predator. i don't like this idea, idk why, i guess there's something deeply unsettling about a large bipedal intelligent carnivore interacting with small anime-eyed prey animals

SO i argue, the Storm King may look big and scary, with a huge strong jaws and big stabby canines, but he's actually an herbivore! Juuuust like a gorilla. Th...

Glimmer and Glory

quickie family treeee

We never see Starlight Glimmer's mother, so I'm headcanoning that it's none other than Glory, of G1 MLP fame. Glory possessed the extraordinarily rare power to grant wishes! Warmhearted, selfless, clever, and kind, Glory was greatly beloved by her family and community. Her abrupt, unexpected death factored heavily into Starlight's unhealthy and obsessive attachment style (*cough*Sunburst*cough*), as well as the surly rebellious anger that ...

Sunrise, Sunset

it's getting late and i work tomorrow so i'll write a longer description later

the gist of this is that Sunset Shimmer's mom, Stellar Flare, was so incredibly overbearing about her daughter becoming a big success that Sunset developed major self-esteem issues from all the pressure and created her cruel bully facade as a means of masking her constant fear of failing herself, Celestia, and her mother. Her rebellious streak came from pushing back at Stellar, who tried so hard to push her t...

Sweater Weather

You like PB, don't you, Midnight?

missus cake is nosy as shit but it's mostly out of genuine fondness for both pb and midnight. she and her husband care for both of them as they do for their own children, and missus cake has been discreetly (read: not discreetly at all) nudging them toward each other since day one. She will NEVER stop being smug that these two crazy kids actually ended up dating. Carrot owes her twenty bucks~

i'm leaving it up to y'all to deter...

Workplace Boredom

slow day at Sugarcube Cornerrrr

"neck" means smooch/make out btw

Cup 'n' Carrot

You know what's weird in MLP? Wedding rings. 

Unicorns at least have a horn to stick em on. Yet we see earth ponies, and presumably pegasi, exchange these tiny, human-finger sized ringed, without any place to properly wear them. Big Mac gifts Sugar Belle a wedding ring on a necklace, but.....why not just give her a necklace, then? Why this tiny diamond ring? Ponies are nudists with active lifestyles. That wedding ring is going to get lost, or at the very least chipped and tarnished...

Requests Open

The world feels like a total shitshow at the moment and I'm sure we're all (myself very much included) in need of a little escapism. Suggest ideas for doodles! :) As always, the more specific, the better!

But it’s worth it just to see you smile

And I cannot

From the hold you have on my heart,

And even if the world tells us it’s wrong,

You’re in my head like a catchy song~

hey watch me panic cause i have to draw a whole ass musical instrument

i can make her a fuccboi if i want to

Luster Dawn's canon personality seems to be a mashup of season 1 Twilight ("i don't need friends") and Starlight ("i'm certain i know better than you, actual alicorn princess"), and, well, been there, done that. Gonna make some tweakssss to her

Luster Dawn is a student of magic, as encouraged by her father Sunburst and bio mom/"auntie" Starlight Glimmer. Her real passion, however, lies in inventing. She greatly idolizes her dad, Flash Sentry, and wishes nothing more th...

Ties That Bind

considering retconning some stuff

no worries, this ain't a shipping pic. There's nothing romantic at all about carrying your childhood best friend's baby.....just a gracious favor for a dear dear friend.......whose doting and attention you may be enjoying a lil too much........

Starlight? Volunteer as a surrogate to finally gain a scrap of adulation from Sunburst? Have his baby as a secret means of binding them together forever, their respective marriages be damned? What an awful ...

Hnnng

There's a growing body of research in psychology that posits that our parents shape who we later find attractive. Nothing incestuous of course (Freud's theories have long been dismissed), the general idea is that our parents provide a unique brand of love to us as children, and we later pursue people who subconsciously remind us of our parents (appearance, senses of humor, love languages, warmth). We seek out love that is already familiar to us.

Consider then, that Moondancer has been p...

Evil Enchantress, Does Evil Dances

concept art, figuring out how i'd like to draw Zecora

I've made no secret that I really can't stand Zecora's entire concept. She spends the entirety of her debut episode being framed as spooky and foreign. The Mane 6 spend the episode being terribly racist and xenophobic, even calling Zecora's stripes "garish". When a magical mishap occurs, they immediately blame Zecora, break into her house and destroy her things, and ultimately it is Zecora- an innocent bystander- who is ta...

The Good Son

They named him Edgar (Allen Piggie)

Midnight's whole relationship with PB started off as 100% experimental, so when Peebs teasingly asked what cutesy boyfriend pet name she'd bestow upon him, Midnight answered "....guinea pig". Over time, the pet name gets used with less dry sarcasm and with slowly increasing sincerity (but only in private, Midnight would probably quietly hex the first pony to catch her acting cute with that accursed Sandwich boy)

Edgar i...

Defining Love

i had a lot of notes on this but it's late and i got work tomorrow, so affsrwefg

Basically Midnight Abyss, being a greyromantic asexual, becomes curious over the elusive concept called "love". What is romantic love? What does it feel like? How does it differ from platonic and familial love? Why does it make ponies so dopey? Apparently love is incredibly powerful.......so Midnight sets out to unlock the mysteries of love, synthesize it, and harness its wicked power for herself.&...

Pandora meets Twaddles~

in which friendliness turns to fascination, which turns into deep, obsessive lust, uh-oh. Pan likes being adored by mortals but not quite that way.....

try crunchyroll $6.95 monthly premium membership

so this character came to me in a dream last night. I call him Twiddle Twaddle (Twaddles for short), though I'm open to suggestions~

Twaddy is passionate like papa Quibble, intelligent like daddo Mudbriar, and possibly more obnoxious than both of them combined. Twaddles is a fine connoisseur of all things Japony/Neighpon. Twaddles is still avidly reading One Piece. Twaddles has STRONG opinions about the ending of Bleach. Twaddles cosplays as Sailor Moon at least once a year. Twaddles ow...

Mommy And Me (WIP)

Glitzi and her mama, Suri Polomare~

Suri most certainly didn't plan on getting knocked up by Gladmane, but whatever, it's cool, she always kinda wanted to try the whole domesticity thing. Gladmane was wholly uninterested in being a family, but Suri didn't need him anyway. She was gonna be a fierce, gorgeous, and responsible single mom, because there's nothing Suri Polomare can't do. She quickly got to work creating (plagiarizing) whole lines of mommy merch- clothing, baby toys,...

Glitzi and Gladmane

I wonder if Glitzi, for all her general airheadedness, might actually be quite good at business and bookkeeping, having perhaps learned the skills as an avenue of bonding with her dad. For this reason, Glitzi is very jealous and very spiteful toward Jam Sandwich, Gladmane's business associate and obvious favorite. Jam doesn't know why Glitzi is always such a stone-cold bitch to her, but she's always up for some smack-talk!

note on "sugar britches": for those of y'all n...

quickie doodle before bed, testing out a new color palette and illustrating the general dynamic between Glitzy and Magnolia

(quote is shamelessly taken from the old Batman cartoon)

i think i'll keep Suri as Glitzy's bio mom. Glitzy's mane is naturally dull silver, she dyes it. It's the one thing she learned to do half-decently from beauty school, Magnolia gripes

The Bigger The Hair, The Closer To God

Glitzy Glamour Gladmane (formerly Gladys), the one and only daughter of Gladstone Gladmane. I'm still figuring out this character. This is definitely how I want her to look, I'm just not quite sold on her color palette. Looks too similar to Belle Velour. :/ Glitzy's original bio mom was Suri Polomare, but I'm thinking of changing it to Cherry Jubilee, if only to provide warmer color palette options. Anyway!

Since Gladmane himself is an obvious reference to Elvi...

Old Ass Art: The Beginning of Pancake

So I've been moving furniture around and cleaning, and lookie what I found! The very first attempt at Pandora/Cupcake shipping. Sorry it's so rough looking, I can't access my computer at the moment to clean everything up. I reckon these doodles are maybe five or six years old, you can see I was still figuring out how to draw adult Pan, for a while she had more ponyish facial proportions. Back then I figured Cupcake was kinda tsundere and hid her emotions behind a stoic exterior. She became Pa...

Are the Dazzlings sisters?

Howdy, y'all! Just got back from a week long roadtrip, please pardon the inactivity! Im thinking of doing some headcanons on sirens. So my question to yall is, Do you think the Dazzlings (Adagio, Aria, and Sonata, from EQG: Rainbow Rocks) are sisters? I assumed they were, but looking back at official material it seems their only canon connection is "bandmates'. What do you personally headcanon them to be?

Washed Out

as proposed by MyLittleGami over on deviantart:

I think Lightning Dust would be too prideful to let Stormy into the Washouts, and would  force him to go through a series of "impossible tests" that could injure  him or others, knowing he's a dumb hippie baby and could never do them,  ahaha...oh....oh SHIT

(Turns out he can)

Sibling Talk

stormy ur not being a very good role model rn

Drug use (and abuse) is very, very common in the flight industry. Not so much in the Wonderbolts, who perform routine drug testing on their members, but very much the case among the Washouts.....in fact, it's the reason a good number of them "washed out". The Washouts tend to be pretty sour about this, because the higher-ranking Wonderbolts, for all their prestige, cover up a lot of drinking, party drugs, and doping amidst ...

True Blue Love

fun couple's night idea: avoiding going to fucking therapy with bae

Chakra is not quite so immoral as to cheat on someone on a whim. Nope, he did it on purpose, with the intention of making Stormy mad. It worked. Very well. What a fun game. 

(I'd like to give an addendum- This whole thing, the antagonism, the possessiveness, the cheating-as-foreplay, was 100% consensual. Stormy and Chakra had an open relationship with lots of power play. BUT simply because something ...

Bad Little Boy, Bad but not Little

 Don't you know I'm a villain? 

so this is a long story i'll probably be working on but the gist of it is that Stormy is not naturally a good person. He does a fantastic job of pretending otherwise, but Aerostorm is a sadist.

Racing feels good. Crushing the competition feels good. Snapping Zipperflash's wing like a toothpick- that felt, really, really good. Realizing all of this felt very, very not good. Following the accident with Zipperflash,...

Man! I Feel Like A Woman~

 The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun!

Since I drew the mom bods, I've wondered about pushing the bodies of my next gen cast, aiming for more distinct shape language in their character design. Idk how canon this is, just musing. Perhaps Magnolia is still petite, but has broader shoulders and slimmer hips, kind of an upside-down triangle in her torso, and another triangle in her pelvis. I think she cuts a very dapper, debonair figure...

Requests Open!

Doodle requests are open. I'm in the mood to draw something pretty and witty and gay, in a similar vein as my mom bods post (pls don't suggest dad bods), but really I'm down to draw whatever. Suggest away!
