i have such a profound hate for stories that go 'what if just some guy like literally just some guy was thrown into these horrible circumstances with huge stakes' and then take it back and go 'haha he is not just some guy, he's the specialest little boy in the planet, last in a long line of specialest little boys, it was in his blood all along'
Such love for stories that go 'what if some guy was the specialest little boy on the planet and thrown into these horrible circumstances with huge stakes' and then go 'actually you were just some guy all along, they lied about you being special because it was convenient. But you're in the situation now so buck up, Some Guy.'
This just in: Turtle gains speed and immediately becomes a menace to local cat. "Why is he chasing me? Why not explore the house?" Cat comments. More on this in the evening.
“why don’t you do it if you like it” because I’m scared “but why don’t you still try it out if you enjoy it” because I’m scared “but what if it gives you joy” I am scared
Oh gosh I think I’m deep in the mlp obsession now 🫥
I’ve hesitantly dubbed this next gen verse ‘Incipient!verse’, and to start it off have a twipie kiddo!
I plant to make a secondary blog later to properly house and upload future next!gen so don’t worry abt my flooding your feed with too much more pony content :)
Continuiations of the one I did for earth ponies! Here’s my headcannons on unicorns, featuring twilight (pre-ascension) and rarity <3
Text reads:
- The color of a unicorn’s magic is determined by their ‘aura’ color. This color glows from the ‘rings’ of their horn while performing magic.
- unicorn ears are more similar to a zebra’s in size and shape.
- The superstitious believe that the shape and length of a unicorn’s horn is indicative of different proficiencies, power, and even personality.
- Long, curved horns are widely seen as the most desirable/attractive.
- It’s not uncommon for unicorns to dock their tails, however it is most commonly seen in blue collar workers.
A unicorn’s potential power is largely genetic. However, proper education, magical exercise, and type of magic use is the largest factor in a unicorn’s functional power.
i redesigned them! with my own hcs and species design quirks. also woe, height chart be upon ye
some notes for everypony:
Twilight Sparkle- i like gold on her design but not the absurd amounts everyone else gives her for some reason, so i made it an accent color. yes her magic is gold now too because of her eyes. her hair was also inspired by Mikan Tsumiki's cause i thought a more orderly version of her choppy mess would look good on Twilight, i was right. also glasses go brr, i think she looks cute in 'em
Apple Jack- while i love the long fetlocks people give her, i can't see her actually doing that because they'd be a pain to keep clean, so i did the opposite and had her shave her feathering off. i also put her hair up to keep it off her neck so she doesn't overheat while working. her cutiemark is my favorite part cause it's that family symbol where two adults and a kid make a heart, but i made it an apple instead, does a better job at showing her emphasis on family ties. no hat cause i like the idea of her hat being from her dad, and she doesn't want to mess it up wearing it daily so she wears it exclusively to special events
Rainbow Dash- i decided to make her less of a living lightening bolt and leaned more into her lazy side, going for the type of butch lesbian look that makes her feel like she wears tank tops and hangs out in the basement getting drunk and listening to rock. i wanted her to look like the only part of her she actually puts effort into maintaining is her wings
Fluttershy- i take great enjoyment in making Flutters a fucking lumbering giant compared to his friends (yes my Flutters is a guy), taking fluttertree and running with it. no notes aside from tall and green patterns and long hair and ooo pretty bronze jewelry. ig also his cutie mark is like- it was suppose to just be a paw and a butterfly but i accidentally made a parasprite with it, and instead of fixing it i just rolled with it and made it look more intentional
Pinkie Pie- THIS HORSE GAVE ME SO MUCH TROUBLE!! every part of my body was like "give her patterns! add things to her hair! it makes sense for her!!" but everything i did looked wrong and i couldn't get it to work. so i bit the bullet and made her really plain... and it worked. i don't know why but she just.... looks so much better with a really simple design, the hair texture does all the heavy lifting really
Rarity- of everyone, she's the one who'd have the long pretty fetlocks, and i decided to double down on that by not only making them so long you can't see her hooves, but also by making her have the longest and softest coat in general. she has the time and dedication to take care of such a high maintenance coat and she's gonna do it. it's even more impressive when you realize ponyville uses exclusively dirt roads. aside from that i think she deserves nice jewelry, and they use leather straps cause i think leather would be a ponyville fashion staple, she shows her hometown pride in her fashion
Spike- i thought it was weird he was so small the whole run, he should have had a growth spurt at some point imo, so i made him a bit bigger and more proportional to the older teen dragons, this is less of a redesign and more of a "make him actually grow up" thing, he's still small but not toddler small. this is the point where Twilight starts complaining about him sitting on her back cause he's getting too heavy. i also don't like how adult Spike ended up looking, but i haven't made a redesign of him yet
i have made an older alicorn Twilight design that i've been referring to as Ethereal Twilight, but i might hold off on sharing that for a while cause i have some funky hc lore ideas for the alicorns that i wanna refine a little before posting her. maybe i'll have older Spike drawn by then too, who knows
