Little Toxin Masterpost. No ref sheet yet but for every like this post getst I'll leave a fact about Toxin and his parents below! Retweets count too!

Facts below the Read More!

Fact #1

Toxin's parents are Shadow and... Scourge!

They're a close family that lives isolated because they all hate being around people for too long.

Fact #2

Toxin goes by he/they pronouns and is intersex like both his parents. Yes, both, it's a no brainer on Shadow since him being alien tends to go hand in hand with otherworldly... situations but Scourge requires some more context. Keep liking the post and I'll share that too ;)

Fact #3

Okay okay, Scourge context!

Scourge has fused with Chaos in this AU making him a water elemental. On top of that Scourge's mother was a mimic octopus pretending to be a hedgehog to trick his father, whom I've also re-written and given the name 'Cobalt', into marrying her to connect their kingdoms. When she was found out she fled, leaving her two sons behind, one of which was Scourge and this technically means he's already a hybrid. His affinity for water is genetic, he was practically born to be homies with Chaos.

Scourge didn't inherit the camouflage ability like his brother Sapphire did, no he got the funky gender shenanigans instead and with no one to tell him stuff or compare himself to, he opted to tell everyone he's cis and run if they ask sussy questions. Shadow is the first person he told.

Fact #4

Shadow 'carried', as much as you can call it that side his alien species is of the egg laying variety. (No I will not go further into detail) He's part of a race (that's essentially Black Arms and The End from Forces combined and expanded upon) called 'Nova Luna' and his species generally has traits such as digitigrade legs and crystalline growths on their body of varying shapes, colors and sizes. (I have art of this coming very soon)

High ranking individuals pose as fake moons, hiding their colossal bodies to influence a planet from a distance. Shadow however has turned his back to them for good after having met Scourge. Toxin and Scourge are the best things that ever happened to him.

Fact #5

They had no idea this would be possible, but Shadow had no issues carrying and Toxin hatched about as normally as a little toxic green alien hybrid pup can. Needless to say they were relieved to see a hedgehog and not some horrible mismatch of their DNA with a ton of genetic issues. Toxin was a healthy pup, if anything he was causing his parents problems instead.

Fact #6

Toxin is in fact, venomous! He's not lethal but a decent bite from him as an adult can paralyze you for a couple hours and a small nip is enough to partially paralyze/sedate the area. Scourge found this out the hard way after Toxin hatched and got nipped in his hand. They had to teach him in his toddler years to not use his teeth to solve every minor inconvenience.

Fact #7

Toxin's abilities are mostly Chaos Energy related. While his parents are fire and water elemental's Toxin appears to have an in-born talent to control raw energy by itself, which is incredibly dangerous! :D

Shadow and Scourge are only two out of seven Guardians who each have an element they master and controlling an element is just handling electricity cables while controlling the raw energy form is the equivalent of grabbing an exposed wire and hoping for the best. There's no buffer in the form of an element to focus energy in, on or through. Why Toxin has this talent is unknown... to most.

Fact #8

His shoes were absolutely a gift from Shadow and an updated replica of his own. Toxin was gifted the shoes when he was 18 and does regular maintenance on them ever since. Its important to him emotionally but not just because it was a gift. It allows him to keep up with his parents in speed and he has many fond memories of learning how to use them with their help.

Fact #9

I know the shirt he's wearing mentions a vape, but he doesn't actually use them. Most he does is smoke the good old fashioned way and even that is sparingly. Because of his alien DNA he's ridiculously fast at healing any injuries or ailments and isn't very addiction sensitive. He'd be lying if he didn't do it to look cool though. He's an edgelord. (Toxin is a cartoon, it's not my aim to romanticize or endorse anything. He'll be fine but us humans wont be, so with that said, don't harass me over art okay? Cool)

Fact #10

Toxin's personality switches between calm, reserved, barely talking at all and absolutely unhinged. It depends on who he's with. Shadow definitely brings out a calmer side in him while Scourge is the type of chaotic dad who teaches his kid curse words and pranks. He's a good guy though and knows when to be serious.

Fact #11

He considers Sonic and Knuckles to be his uncles, even if they're not at all related. They were the first people to give Scourge a chance and support his growth into a better person after all. They would've done the same for Shadow and when Toxin came along they would do anything from babysit to teaching the young hedgehog how to use his abilities. Toxin gets along great with both of them but secretly prefers Sonic, he'll drop just about anything to grab food with his favorite uncle.

Fact #12

The Nova Luna have a hierarchy based on minerals and as they age or improve in skill there's a chance they can 'evolve' into a different rank. Toxin is an elusive Emerald to them because their whole deal is their obsession with the Ancient's Chaos Emeralds. Controlling all that power would make them all powerful and be capable of controlling the galaxy. The thing is, none of them have ever risen higher than the Ruby rank. Toxin however is related by DNA to someone of said Ruby rank, as well as someone directly responsible for guarding and controlling at least one of the Chaos Emeralds in the present day. That combination of the perfect circumstances caused Toxin to be born with the elusive Emerald rank.

Fact #13

Toxin being this rare of a creature makes him priority number 1 to the Nova Luna and since I have no intentions of writing his story just yet since it's pretty deep into the AU I just barely started writing, I can go ahead and say that he does get taken and spends at least a year in servitude/training to the Nova Luna.

Fact #14

Of course has trauma from his time there, but he did learn a lot about himself too and managed to cling to that knowledge for dear life. Any progress he made in skill level would come to bite the Nova Luna in the ass super hard in the end. Once reunited with his parents, Shadow and Scourge help him process everything he's experienced as they too have experience with trauma.

cariad’s obsession with the female call of duty characters is starting to get unhealthy (it has been for quite a while)

valeria, kate, farah 💞

valeria garza might have committed many heinous crimes, but who hasn’t? :). don’t act like you’re innocent. let’s be partners in crime, val, forget about everyone else. (i’m losing it)

(i would do anything for that woman, oh my GOD. i’d let her shoot me)

i just wanna be kate’s wife. that’s all i want out of this life. maybe i have a thing for older women, maybe i have a thing for american women.

(that sounds odd, lmfao, idk what it is. y’know when a character has a non-american accent, and in every fanfic it’s always pointed out? “their deep british accent rung through your ears”? i’m like that with american accents, for some reason?? american accents are deemed the norm, so no one pays attention when a character has a standard northern american accent, but i love them 😭 and southern american accents)

i want farah to teach me how to ride a motorcycle. please, ma’am. i just wanna spend any amount of time with farah, tbh. she’s so beautiful, and smart, and strong, atkajsksksk.

(side note - i feel so weird calling a woman “ma’am” because i call my actual mother “mam” and the pronunciation (the pronunciation i use for “ma’am” anyway) is literally the same)

operators you probably don’t care about 💞 (calisto, stiletto, roze, kleo, nova, luna)

fuck the royals 🤬, fuck the royals 😏. look, she seems pretentious af, but i love her for it. what was that one voice line? “can i play with you? mhm.” what does that mean, calisto???

(my hearing is shit so if that’s not what she said, don’t tell me :). i’d rather pretend, LOL)

most of the content i see for stiletto is shipping her with könig. she is literally dating me, how dare you disrespect our relationship like that. i could treat a woman better than him, anyway 🙄.

(sorry, könig, you’ve become my punching bag, i promise i don’t actually hate you. i’m just jealous of your fans, that’s all)

rozlin goddamn helms. she was once a shadow, right? no wonder she left that company. i could treat my employees better than graves could. back to actually talking about roze herself, mw19 roze had a chokehold on me, man. she’s so AH. (you figure out what that means)

(fuck you, graves, i may have stated that i liked southern american accents, but this excludes you (and most men, southern accents on women, i should’ve clarified))

kleopatros gavras. that woman. now, where the hell is the hype for her? i feel she’s very smart, and obviously very strong. i love smart women. i love strong women. i love women. doesn’t seem very friendly, but i can work with that. (that sounds weird)

(when it comes to characters that don’t have official heights, i like to headcanon them some, for nearly all of the female operators, they’re tall because i said so, i love tall women)

i think nova’s actress is very pretty. i, too, love flying. it was meant to be, no? please, nova, i’m on my knees. i literally have no words to describe the way i feel about this woman 😶.

(a lot of people don’t like her voice, but i don’t have anything negative to say, really. maybe i’m too blinded by love 🤷‍♀️) (that was embarrassing to say)

luna just seems like a really friendly person. she makes me feel safe?? even though she isn’t real?? the voice line, “alright then, i see you!” did it for me. she’s a soldier, she’s tough, but she’s also so amicable it kills me. idk i just love her, man.

(another smart woman, i fucking love smart women. i just wanna be her friend, lmao)

all in all, i’m a raging lesbian, and the women in this game make me feel things :). also, apologising if there are any grammatical or linguistic errors. <3

Haha what if you betrayed me for a sense of power you never understood and will never understand and you put everyone at great risk and you tried to kill me repeatedly haha ha. and we both had undefined genders😳😳😳😳 Jkjk . Unless😳. New ocs - Toro (he/it) and Jaco (any)

[ ID: A drawing of Toro and Jaco from the waist up. They're hugging, with Toro holding one hand on Jaco's back and the other on a sword, while Jaco is leaning back out of the hug. Toro has long straight horns and goat's ears. He's leaning forward and looking up at Jaco with disdain. He's wearing a button up shirt and a watch, with the sleeves of his shirt being rolled up. He has long hair pulled into a ponytail. He is stabbing Jaco through the middle with the sword. Jaco has four pairs of eyes and they're looking down at Toro with a similarly disdainful expression. They're wearing a bandana, a long sleeved dark undershirt, and a t-shirt with a circle on the front. They have a short death hawk and multiple piercings. End ID ]

MWII Operator headcanons: Specgru edition

Hello! I think the multi-player operators deserve more love, so here are some headcanons for the base Spegru team. This doesn’t included people who were in the campaign because there’s plenty of stuff about them already. The pictures are just screenshots of my game, lol.

Jesus “Chuy” Ordaz

(the COD blog post I’m getting some of these full names from says his first name is Manuel, but his bio says Jesus?)

has terrible handwriting

but as my poetry instructor once said, “the worse the handwriting, the better the work”

and he does write poetry

been through a lot, but still a romantic at heart

really great with kids

Gustavo “Gus” Rodriguez

you could not pay this man to shave his mustache

once he grew that mustache, he knew he could never go back

looks like a literal baby when shaved clean, like people will start asking "who let that preteen in here?"

really proud of his career and the fact that he gets to work with Special Forces since he’s not military (because technically there was no military for him to join)

will not bring up surfing, but has a bunch of cool surfing videos ready to go at a moment's notice. you know, just in case

Zhiqiang “Zimo” Wong

precious bean, i love him

cinnamon roll but serious

doesn't mean he can't be brutal, he is a soldier

kind of intense overall, which intimidates some people

really cherishes platonic relationships

movie buff who might smack you if you say you don’t watch foreign films because you don’t like reading subtitles

Kleópatros “Kleo” Gavras

(fuck, I accidentally deleted my notes on her. :( I’m sorry Kleo, I have to wing it!)

likes to dress up. will put on a whole fit and makeup just to hang around the house every once and a while

it's a nice contrast to her usual military get up

good at every sport

also very good a chess

Nila “Nova” Brown

really great eyesight

misses flying, tbh. jumps at the chance to do some piloting for a mission

seriously considered becoming an astronaut

worked with Kortac briefly, but changed to Specgru as soon as her initial contract was up

(that one’s a deep dive for anyone who remembers that she was a Kortac operator during the beta)

Sobiesław “Gromsko” Kościuszko

Polish pride (idk, everyone I know who is Polish or has Polish heritage is very proud of that)

plays some quirky instrument like the accordion or keytar or hurdy-gurdy

uses reading glasses

knits. while wearing the reading glasses. looks like a literal grandmother

Enzo “Reyes”

will never admit it as a proud Canadian, but he doesn't like hockey

a Swiftie

flirts with everyone

pansexual, so no one is safe

(that's a joke)

(I'm not trying to do the "bi/pan people are sluts" thing)

(I just think this man is attractive and charismatic)

(and wants to share that with the world)

(blame the Valentine's day skin)

Tse “Luna” Míngzhū

really amicable

will actually hit you up after saying "we should hang out some time!"

loves attending sporting events and cheers very loudly

it's not mentioned in her bio, but she grew up in Virginia, near Washington DC, so 9/11 probably had a big impact on her and her career choice

(pulling on my own experience for that one)

(not job experience, but growing up in DC suburbs when 9/11 happened experience)

lots of frustration with generic military gear because it's all way too big on her

Thanks for reading! My Kortac headcanon post can be found here.

#call of duty #mw2 #MWII #COD #Specgru #modern warfare ii #headcanon #operators #oh god this probably needs more tags #listen this is my first original post in the fandom idk what I'm doing #my COD posts

Hi, how are you? Could I request a one-shot of Diana x Reader? Preferably a female reader, but I don't mind non binary.

So the settings are, the reader and Diana are rivals and they don't see eye to eye, they are in their senior year, and suddenly a magic circle appeared in the middle of the room. Then came out an older version of the reader, who smiled and greeted the class and teacher. She then apologized to the teacher before walking up to the reader. She basically kidnapped her younger self to make her look after her "offsprings." Accidentally revealing to the entire class that she and Diana would end up together in the future. Which embarrassed the two, and the reader immediately denies it.

✧ diana cavendish oneshot :

accidentally discovering that you and her will end up together in the future because reader’s future self told her to look after their kids in front of the whole class (fem reader)

3rd person P.O.V

Diana and Y/N had been rivals for ages — it wasn’t necessarily that they hated each other, but they were both extremely competitive and, if not, the top students of Luna Nova. They were constantly trying to one-up each other, and it was especially tense this year, since they were finally seniors.

One day during class, Y/N and Diana were once again, at each other’s throats. The professor was teaching the students about the ancient days of what it was like to be a witch, and the teachers was asking comprehension questions to see if the students had payed close to attention to the lesson. Of course, it was basically just Diana and Y/N answering the questions. The poor professor couldn’t even finish her question before the two girls raised their hands, already knowing the answer.

The other students were snickering as they watched the two compete. They were also thankful that now they didn’t have to answer the questions and get called on by the teacher.

Y/N stared at Diana with piercing eyes as she looked at her with such a smug expression. She hated whenever she one-upped her in something.

However, something extremely random was about to unfold.

As the professor moved onto the next question, Y/N turned back to look at the board in front of her. When suddenly, she saw something she never thought she would see.

A large, majestical aura filled the classroom. A magical hole in the ground formed and it was blinding everyone in the room and blew a few papers into the air. As it toned down, the students could see that it was someone with a human stature who looked like she was in her adulthood.

When the magic circle finally disappeared, and the person who was in it seemed identifiable, everyone was shocked, including Diana and Y/N.

Because, well, the person was Y/N… but older. She looked about in her late twenties here, accomplished, and very content with her life. Y/N’s jaw dropped at the sight, and everyone else was so confused.

“Hello, everyone!” Future Y/N waved to the students. She turned to the professor and said “My deepest apologies, ma’am, but I need to speak with younger me for a minute,” she said, smiling.

The professor, dumbfounded, didn’t say anything or even budge, since she was so confused about what was going on. The older Y/N still went up to her younger self and pulled her up to the front of the class. Y/N was too stunned to even react.

“Hey! I’m gonna need to ask you a huge favor,” she began. “I’m gonna need you to look after my offsprings,” she stated, and suddenly another magical warp appeared, and a few toddlers were suddenly revealed to everyone as well. They were inside of a green crib.

Y/N’s jaw dropped even more. She had kids?! And… they looked oddly familiar… Y/N immediately noticed it, but, she did not want to believe it. Barely managing to get anything out, she asked, “I… I have kids? What? Wait, so who’s the…?”

Before Y/N could even finish her question, the older her put her finger on her mouth and smiled cheekily. She closed her eyes and created a cliffhanging atmosphere in seconds.

The entire room was interested at this point, everyone waiting for the Y/N from the future to answer the question. Who was the lucky person?

However, during that very short amount of time, several people realized and were thinking the same thing Y/N was thinking.

The toddlers… of course, they looked like Y/N’s children, but… they also resembled Diana.

Suddenly, Hannah and Barbara started “OHHHH”-ing and “AHHHH”-ing extremely loudly and pointing aggressively because they had put the pieces together. Soon enough, everyone else got what was going on as well.

The Y/N from the future smiled pitifully yet she couldn’t help but snicker. Y/N’s face immediately turned bright red.

The girls next to Diana nudged her shoulders and raised their eyebrows while giggling uncontrollably, waiting for her reaction. Y/N looked up and saw Diana’s flustered face looking down at the ground, not wanting to believe what she was seeing.

Y/N turned back to her older self. “You’re lying…” she said, desperately. “There’s absolutely no way this is true! I don’t believe you.”

“Ironic, isn’t it?” the older Y/N replied, chuckling. “I didn’t expect it either, but it’s a long story.”

Y/N just kept staring at her, mortified. The Y/N from the future continued, “Anyway, I trust you with this. It was pretty much a last minute thing, sorry,” she admitted. “But I have important duties to attend to.”

She patted her younger self on the shoulder and spawned her wand. “I’ll see you again in a few hours. See ya!”

Then suddenly, she was gone. Which left everyone dumbfounded once again. Y/N just stood there, unresponsive to anyone trying to talk to her, and just staring into space.

Suddenly, she felt someone else’s hand on her should from behind, she turned around, only to see Diana, looking concerned and still having a tint of blush on her cheeks. Y/N jumped at her touch, her face turning red once again.

She wouldn’t be able to look at Diana the same ever again. Now, she saw her in a different light.

Everything would be different now, but…

Y/N wasn’t entirely sure if she was wholeheartedly against the thought. At least, now that is.

And neither was Diana.

a/n : I just wrote 2 oneshots in a very short amount of time I’m so proud of myself 🙏 I HOPE YOU LIKE IT i honestly loved this idea it was so cool to think about. also thank you for requesting something that isnt about steven universe bc like as much as I love him 90% of my requests are him rn and I wanna switch it up a lil yk 😭 still appreciate the love on my work about him tho ily guys <333

Learning Two Fly

Disclaimer: This fic is not in any way related to any fic named “Learning to Fly”. It is simply a title that I find funny and is appropriate given the nature of the spell involved. This is why I should never be allowed to name anything. Also, I intended to write this as a one-shot. It went way out of control, been a WIP for way too long, but I’m still going to call it a one-shot, thank you.

Summary: As another semester at Luna Nova comes to a close, and with summer vacation right around the corner, Akko comes crashing in with a new spell she wants to try: Gemina Freyre. Naturally, Akko manages to rope all her friends into it, and, with a race at the end of summer, everyone is split into pairs to get ready.

As fate, among other things, would have it, Akko and Diana wind up together.

Surely everything goes exactly as planned.

Prologue:

Walking into her room that evening, Diana did her best to ignore how warm her face was growing as she felt the curious and amused stares coming from Hannah and Barbara across the room. She really should have expected them; she knew she looked ridiculous.

In her rush back, Diana had neither bothered trying to fix her very disheveled uniform nor taken any time to pick out the branches tangled in her hair. Had it not been summer break, she suspected that she would have garnered similar looks from her fellow students on her walk back to her dorm. Amanda, for one, would have never let her hear the end of it.

Despite that, however, Diana’s actual appearance was the least of her worries, though the discomfort it caused was an entirely separate issue.

The looks she could feel from her roommates weren’t helping.

With a sigh, Diana looked up to the duo and narrowed her eyes at the smug grins on both of their faces.

“Not. A. Word.”

With that, Diana quickly retreated to her washroom, hoping that, once she was out, her friends would heed her implicit warning.

She had a lot to think over tonight, and she would appreciate having a night’s reprieve from navigating through the teasing that had recently become a common occurrence in the supposed safety of her room. Her thoughts had been rather frenzied as of late; the last thing she needed was any more distractions.

Nova surprise to older brother

Outside at the canterlot royal gardens, Princess Celestia and Luna are having some tea time with Thomas the and his daughter Dashie writer, Dashie and Luna were both having a conversation while eating cake at the same time, but as for Thomas and Prince, they were having eye contact with each other, but haven’t said a word for some time now. Thomas was looking his tea and try to come up an ideal conversation with Celestia, without making a fool of himself, but before he could had say anything, one of Celestia royal servant stop by and brought an important message to her.

Servant: greeting your majesty, I’m sorry to interpret your tea party, but you have a very important letter that you need to read at once.

Princess Celestia: where the letter came from?

Servant: it came from the canterlot embassy, there some issue going on and they need both the two princess sisters assistant.

Princess Luna: *she swallow a big piece of cake* what kind of problem that need the both of us, can’t they solve it on their own.

Princess Celestia: I’m afraid not Luna, said here that a few visitors from a far away land are having some argument with the members of the embassy, if we don’t go and solve this.

Princess Luna: I know, I know, there be an all out conflict. For once can we have a nice tea party, without any problems.

Princess Celestia: I’m sorry about this Tommy wommy, I wanted this little party just the four of us.

Thomas the writer: it’s no problem Tia, it was nice while it lasted.

Dashie writer: hey Dad, why not let Celestia make a birthday party for you also.

Princess Celestia: your birthday?

Thomas the writer: yeah, today is actually my birthday. I wasn’t going to say nothing about it, but Dashie did for me anyway

Princess Celestia: oh dear, I didn’t know it was your birthday Thomas, you should have told me

Thomas the writer: I know Tia, but we both know where busy all the time and a birthday party isn't a big of deal

Princess Celestia: nonsense Tommy wommy, once I’m done with this little problem at the embassy, we will have a party for your birthday.

Thomas the writer: are you sure about that, we could just have something simple at least

Princess Celestia: nothing simple for my beloved husband, now excuse us, Luna and I are running late and we need to get going.

Princess Luna: I prefer we stay, but duty calls.

So Princess Celestia and Luna both left the garden and head for the embassy, Thomas place his head on the table and sigh a little, Dashie notice that her dad feeling sad and she does her best to speak to him.

Dashie writer: is everything alright dad?

Thomas the writer: everything is fine Dashie, wish you didn’t told her that it was my birthday

Dashie writer: come on dad, I wanted to let everyone know that today is my coolest dad birthday and I’m happy to celebrate it with you.

Thomas the writer: thanks Dashie, but I kinda was hoping just a simple birthday, nothing big or fancy, just a simple birthday with the ponies I care about.

Dashie writer: I understand Dad, I kinda forget you like things simple nothing crazy, but you of all ponies that done so much, deserve something big on your day and you know what, I going out and get a cool gift for you dad.

Thomas the writer: but what about helping me at the book shop today?

Dashie writer: sorry dad, I’m going to be a little busy, I got to deal with my two young sisters from doing something silly again. But I will stop by a little later.

Just when he try to call her back, Dashie was already gone and he was by himself. Thomas look at his cup of tea and take a few sip of it, once he done with his tea, he plan to head out to the canterlot square and work at the book shop. Just before he took another step, he felt a present that someone was standing nearby. He take a look around to see who was there, but didn't see anything at all. He sigh to himself thinking it was nothing at all, and head on his way. Once he was gone, a pony appear out of nowhere that happen to be his little sister Nova. She saw her brother walking of, which part of her wish she could had say something to him. However: part of her felt nervous of wanting to say anything to him, since their past situation hadn't been good. But she know that he care for her no matter what. Nova pull a letter she had by her side and place it on the table. It was a birthday letter she made for him, hopping he will read it one day. Nova knew she can't stick around much longer and have to get going. She use her magic to vanish, which one day they will speak again.

The End.

Thomas the writer: hey everyone hope you all doing well. So this story was written about 5 or 6 years but never had the chance to post. Since today is my birthday so I figure to finish the ending part and post what I got here. Hope you all well and wish you all the best.

“Heir”

Feat. Nova Spark, Prince Amadeus , Princess Star Chime

Amadeus’ coronation has Prince Novis thinking about his own impending crowning. He can’t shake that something just feels...wrong.

Previous: “Pressure”,

~Destinyverse Archive~

Story Under The Cut!

Dresses and coats pass Prince Novis as dozens of ponies and creatures mingle and meander about Canterlot Castle's massive Great Hall. In the background, elegant ballroom music drifts about from a professional ensemble, passionately playing their instruments at one corner of the room. Louder than the music is a constant rumble of pleasant conversation and laughter from the celebration's guests. Novis himself, however, chooses to stand off to one side of the room, taking small, periodic sips from his cup of sparkling cider. His foreleg bounces as he watches a newly crowned Prince Amadeus warmly welcome distant dignitaries at the center of the room. Flanking Amadeus' sides are his mother and younger sister - Princess Luna and Star Chime - both mares respectfully dipping their heads in greeting at each approaching visitor but being sure to give the stallion the figurative spotlight. The coronation ceremony had come to a close a few hours ago. Once the afterparty had commenced, Novis found himself and his mother Twilight not only separated from the lunar family as ponies lined up to offer their congratulations, but the two of them were quickly surrounded by other attendees wishing to converse with Equestrian royalty. It was only when his cheeks began to feel numb after an hour and a half of consistent smiling (a new record, for sure) that his merciful mother gently nudged him to walk around and mingle with everyone. He graciously and swiftly took the exit, and to be fair, he tried to carry out his royal duty of entertaining their subjects. But three near-identical, boastful conversations later, Novis' mind had become too fatigued to handle one sentence more. 'If one more person goes off about how they shook Amadeus' wing once, I'm going to lose my mind.' Novis isn't sure what's worse; the mindless idle conversation, the citizens gushing over members of the royal family, or the noble ponies' and their not-so-subtle gloating as they take the opportunity of a grandiose event to discuss business propositions with one another. Each kind of exchange meets his ears in a rise and fall of voices from where he stands. What Novis really wants - what he's waiting for - is one chance to just say hello to his best friend. They hadn't spoken in months due to the preparation and rehearsal the stallion's coronation required. And Amadeus had been too occupied pre-coronation for Novis to sneak in a word. Now Amadeus is preoccupied with aristocrats and leaders of other lands alike, and an opportunity to have a second of his time seems unlikely. Novis' blue eyes refocus, noticing a group of strangers waving enthusiastically a few yards away. By instinct, a smile too bright to match his inner discomfort stretches across his muzzle and he waves back. Just smile and wave; the basics of royal etiquette. Immediately his smile falls once the ponies have looked away, and he ducks his head to take one long sip, as if that'd be enough to avoid any more social contact. It's then that he feels a rumble in his stomach and he remembers he hasn't eaten since he and his mother arrived in Canterlot. As he maps out a route to the nearest snack table, one with the widest berth around groups of partygoers, a familiar voice reaches his ears. Novis immediately has to fight that urge - the temptation to pretend you didn't just hear someone call out to you, but the voice in question is too close for them to be addressing anyone else so unless you want to feign hearing loss, ignoring the voice would be impractical- "There's Prince Novis! We've been looking for you!" A young male unicorn - one of the many noble children he's been forced to converse with, so who-in-Equestria-knows what his name is because Novis certainly doesn't - and two unfamiliar unicorns approach. 'Oh my God, leave me alone.' "Friend! It's good to see you!" Novis's fake grin and saccharine voice greet them. In Novis' mind, there's no way his forced friendliness is convincing. But people are too self-absorbed and eager to hear themselves talk, so he's proven wrong every time, watching the male unicorn proudly raise his head high. "Good to see you too, friend!" The unicorn preens, tossing his head and his coiffed mane with it. Novis hears the two ponies accompanying the other stallion exchange impressed whispers and giggles, and even someone as oblivious as himself can read the situation and recognize a pony flexing his connections. Novis feels distaste form on his own tongue. "What a gorgeous coronation that was! Truly worthy of everyone's envy!" The unicorn leans in with a smirk. "Even your own~?" '...what kind of arbitrary-ass question-" "No, no, never!" Novis isn't sure whether to take it as a joke or a jab, so he settles on a weak laugh. "Amadeus is my bro- brother. My brother at heart. Why be jealous when I can be proud? He's come so far and worked hard for this." "Does that mean your coronation will be even grander, Prince Novis?" One of the other unicorns pipes in curiously. Novis barely conceals a flinch. His voice gets stuck in his throat, his eyes darting between each pony's expectant face. "Um-" "Prince Novis," his savior speaks in the form of a butler, whose magic hovers a tray in front of them. They dip their head respectfully, tilting the tray in his direction and revealing miniature orange cakes with soft, cloud-like white icing. At the sight, Novis perks up. "As requested by your mother, we've arranged your favorite carrot cake treats. Please, enjoy yourself." A sense of delight fills the young prince's chest, his belly feeling that much more hollow while breathing in the sweet scent of carrot and cream cheese icing. Just as he intends to push his magic forward and pick up a delicate treat, he doesn't miss the chuckle from the stallion next to him. "I'd say to watch your figure, but I suppose you won't have to worry about your coronation for another few years." Novis glances at his company, only to find their eyes boring into him. Despite wearing his formal attire he feels a shiver run across his pelt, causing hairs even under his dress wear to rise. The other unicorn just smiles back. "Don't mind us, your highness. Go on! You can probably afford it." That's when Novis catches the unconcealed movement of each of their eyes, darting between his face and his body, and his stomach churns in realization. The sickening feeling crawls under his skin, making even tailored clothes feel tight around him, making him feel exposed enough to take a step back from the platter and say, unthinkingly; "Thanks, but I'm not hungry." That's enough to dismiss the butler, who bows one more time before wandering away. The three other young unicorns pick up their laughter and chatter, but Novis hears none of it. The quiet bitterness simmering at his core brings him to block out their noise, yet simultaneously, his royal training puts him on autopilot. Not that it takes much effort to converse with nobility so self-absorbed, they'll put others down in every subtle way they can just to bask in a sense of superiority. He just has to be pleasant; smile and nod, laugh when everyone else does, 'ooh' and 'aah' as the other party boasts- Rinse and repeat. A robotic loop for...the rest of his life, Novis supposes. The aristocracy is a crowd Equestrian royalty has always strived to maintain a cordial relationship with, being collaborative partners and descendants of long-gone, highly esteemed wizards who once aided the crown. 'This is just the company I'll have to keep.' With his mind lost to a dull buzz of trivial exchanges, Novis would have missed the movement in his periphery had he not noticed the shift in the murmurs around him, now light and filled with reverence. Halfway across the room, Amadeus gracefully strolls away from his family, approaching a table of refreshments on the sidelines. The male Alicorn smiles and dips his head to the groupings of ponies he passes, who eagerly bow and curtsy in return. Novis sees his chance. "Uuh- excuse me, you three, I just remembered there are important matters I need to address, good day-" Novis quickly echoes what he remembers reading from his mother's list of "Common Phrases for an Eloquent Exit", the riveting sequel to her initial gift, "Helpful Responses and Phrases for Pleasant Conversation." Novis doesn't bother waiting for an answer, throwing common courtesy to the wind in favor of making a beeline for his friend. It takes a moment of weaving and excusing himself, but Novis' eyes stay locked on that starry mane of blues and purples. A tinge of nervousness settles in him at the idea of not reaching the older prince in time, but to his own relief, the purple stallion finds his hooves past the crowd. Novis lets out a heavy sigh he's been holding in for far too long, and it's loud enough to catch the ear of the larger stallion. When Amadeus' lavender eyes fall on his smaller form, the other prince's whole expression brightens. "Ammy!" Novis greets first, grinning toothily and closing the last few steps between them. Amadeus surprises him by placing a hoof over his own chest and bowing deeply. "Novis, my friend! How wonderful it is to see you in good health!" He proclaims, standing up straight with a polite smile. Novis' face crinkles at the odd greeting, only for realization to hit him when he very much sees the mischievous twinkle in his friend's eye. The noise Novis releases is a sophisticated mix between a scoff and a laugh. "Hey, hey, hey! Don't you use your formal voice on me!" Amadeus' polite smile immediately splits into a cheeky grin. Horn glowing a similar shade to his eyes, the blue-splotched Alicorn levitates and tips his newly earned black and white crown at the purple stallion. "Mmmmm-m'lord~" This time unrestrained laughter bursts out of Novis, and he shakes his head vigorously. Oh, he missed him. "My Gods you're so stupid, come here." Amadeus is squeezed into a hug before another cursed phrase can leave his muzzle, and the silver-pelted prince chuckles low, surely aware of this. Novis feels the weight of one of Amadeus' shimmering wings return his hug (two wings would smother him, good thing his friend is thoughtful). Upon pulling away, Amadeus' face practically glows as much as his hair does in the night. "I made it, Nov..." "'Course you did." Novis' mouth quicks up in one corner. He lightly thumps the back of his hoof against the Alicorn's chest. "Like me or anyone ever doubted you, man. Congrats." "Thank you..." Amadeus sighs out. Novis can see a few tired lines under his friend's eyes, but he also sees relief in his relaxed features. A weight has been lifted; irrational fears and insecurities Novis knows the stallion has been holding onto, ever since... 'Your dad would be proud', he doesn't say. Novis can imagine the dozens of times Amadeus has to have heard that exact phrase within the hour alone. But meeting his friend's gaze, Novis sees warmth emanate from Amadeus', and the young stallion knows the sentiment is understood. "Sooo..." Novis rocks back and forth on his hooves, the awkward and mushy silence beginning to make him antsy. "What was your coronated name again? 'Amadeus Sirius Altair'?" He exaggerates a thoughtful hum. "Pretty cool, but uh....maybe leave some star names fooor, I dunno, Star Chime?" Amadeus laughs heartily, easily breaking away from the heavy atmosphere. "Sister has plenty to choose from. And she has as many years as you do to choose her new name. You're both up next, after all." It happens again. Like a sack of rocks being forced down his throat to weigh in his chest cavity, Novis feels like he's physically recoiling away from the topic despite standing completely still. The sheer agitation catches even him off guard. 'It's just a coronation. You get through a big fancy ceremony, you're given a gaudy crown, then it's over. You move on with your life.' ...he knows it's not that simple. "That reminds me!" Novis puts every shred of energy into a completely natural topic change. "Now that your coronation is over, we should have a game night this week! It'll be a celebration between us! It's been WAY too long." Novis' hopeful smile falters upon hearing a nervous laugh tumble out of the Alicorn. "Oh yeah...sorry Nov, I wish I could, but it sounds like I'm going to be busier than ever now that I'm crowned. Mother informed me that there'll be responsibilities I'll be officially taking over, full-time. But!" Amadeus perks up. "But once things settle down in a few months' time, I can probably schedule something in!" A few months. Novis isn't sure what shifts in his own expression, but whatever it is, Amadeus catches it. The older prince's eyes soften, and he offers an assuring smile. Leaning down, Amadeus nudges the top of Novis' head with his nose. "Hey, it won't always be like this, Nova. Don't worry. We'll make time, I promise." "Yeah..." he returns in a weak attempt to agree. Novis tries to find the faintest bit of assurance in his friend's words, but the unease in his chest weighs heavier. "Oh, mother is waving me back over. I suppose I have more leaders to meet." Amadeus chuckles softly. Before Novis can look up, a single glimmering feather gently flicks his nose, startling him. The offended look he shoots the other stallion earns him a delighted laugh. Novis' suppressed smile betrays his feigned annoyance. But boy, Amadeus is lucky they're in public. It's like he forgets that lightning magic and pretty, manicured galaxy manes don't exactly go well together- "Cheer up, okay? We'll go all out and stay up as long as we want the next time we get together. And then you can tell me about all the progress you've made on your game! Believe me, I'm looking forward to it!" Right. His game. Novis presses his mouth into a tight line, but he manages a smile and a small salute when Amadeus glances back at him. "Yeah, yeah. Go get'em, prince." Amadeus reciprocates with a playful salute of his wing before striding back in the direction of his family and a cluster of attendees. With his back turned, Novis feels his smile vanish. 'Right...I'm next', he thinks, in a room full of carefree partygoers all gathered to celebrate the inauguration of their beloved lunar prince. A coronation is a joyous occasion, for the royal family and their subjects alike. Novis tries to imagine his own. The weight in his chest remains. -------------------------------- 'Where did she go?' Novis travels down another hallway, nearly identical to the one before it. Were it not for the years he spent exploring the castle during his and his mother's frequent visits, Amadeus acting as his tour guide, he would have absolutely gotten lost in the maze that is Canterlot Castle. Thankfully, he has a decent map of the layout in his head. It's been an hour since Amadeus' afterparty ended, and Novis was surprised by how fast everyone had scattered. One minute his mother and Princess Celestia were conversing in one corner of the Great Hall, and the next, they were both gone. His mother most likely assumed he would have rather stayed behind to see his "friends" off, as opposed to the reality of him ducking behind the snack tables to sneak his way behind the crowd with the precision of someone who's played one too many stealth games. Novis originally opted to retire to his guestroom for the night. But the discomfort he'd felt during the party had failed to leave him. He can't shake it. He can't pull his mind away from the reminder that in three years' time, he'll be faced with the finality that is his crowning. And the fact that this is his knee-jerk reaction to the mere thought has made it obvious that something is very wrong. He knows he won't be able to rest, not until he tries talking it out with her. And the only place his mother and Celestia would head off to would be... Beyond him to his left, Novis sees the large, open doors of the pillared corridor that leads straight to the throne room. When he turns to walk through the colossal doorway, he expects his eyes to lock onto the set of double doors on the far end of the hall. Instead, his deep blue orbs flicker toward a figure, standing off to the side. Princess Twilight Sparkle, framed by the towering windows and panels of stained glass lining both walls of the corridor, is gazing up towards one of the artistic glass panels. The light beyond it shines through, reflecting colors off of her tranquil face. Novis approaches wordlessly. If he's honest, he rarely pays any mind to the stained glass windows in this hallway, always shrugging them off as relics portraying events from far in the past. But as he slows to a stop beside his mother, the young stallion tilts his head back, eyes wide as he fully takes in the regal majesty that is his mother's stained glass portrait. The glowing, immortalized image of his mother on her coronation day, powerful wings outstretched, smiles elegantly back at him. "Amadeus will have his own panel built tomorrow. It'll be constructed next to Lumina's." Novis turns towards the sound of his mother's voice, now noticing that she's smiling warmly at him. He peeks past her and further down the corridor. Where there once was a panel that depicted the defeat of Lord Discord by the royal sisters now resided a more promising display; Princess Lumina in all her Celestia-like grace, with brilliant gold and orange glass illuminating the space around her half-Alicorn, half-Draconequus form. "And if I'm right," Twilight continues, a tinge of excitement in her voice. Her wing wraps around him and pulls him into her side. She gestures her hoof towards one of the normal windows next to her glass portrait. "Celestia plans on assembling yours right beside mine!" "A-ah..." he struggles out. "That's...great, mom." His mother's wing squeezes his side at the same time she grins down at him. "I'm beyond proud of Amadeus. But I have to admit, today has made it impossible to stop thinking about your coronation!" "S-same here." A painfully stilted laugh shakes his shoulders. "Actually, um, mom...that's what I came here to ask about, if-" Novis cuts himself off, because Twilight's eyes practically shine at the prospect of questions. She pulls her wing back and straightens her posture, taking on the stance of a wise, experienced teacher. "Ask away, Novie~" she answers with an almost sing-song cadence. A smile threatens to tug at his muzzle. He takes in a deep breath instead. "Well...today it's come to my attention that I'll most likely have less time to myself once my coronation has passed. There's..." He pauses because no way in Tartarus will he suggest to the Friendship Princess that the Friendship Prince has been spending his spare time and resources developing a video game. As if just bringing up the subject to his "friends" has ever ended positively. He's had quite enough of being subtly ridiculed. "...there's a project I'm trying to work on- not an invention, just for fun. It's a lot of meticulous work and I'm honestly worried I won't have time in the future to give any projects like it the attention they need. Am I wrong?" Law amendments, passing legislation, working with representatives and leaders; meetings, paperwork, hosting festivities, bringing ponies together and spreading the values of friendship; a long-winded list that barely scrapes the iceberg of duties Novis knows will be completely his one day. Novis' studies on those subjects and the times he's shadowed his mother alone have left him with only small windows of time to himself. And half of that free time is usually spent on everyone's long-awaited magi-tech research. It's not unlike the free time his mother sets aside to aid Sunset Shimmer in the mare's magi-tech pursuits. 'Maybe I'm overthinking this...once studying is out of the picture, I'll have more time than I'm imagining to-' "You're right that you'll have less time than you do now! You'll have plenty of fun work to occupy you, but that's the joy of making a schedule!" Twilight gushes, and oh, his mother speaks that single word like it's a holy phrase. "Once all of your duties for the day are organized nice and neat, you'll find yourself with at least an hour of downtime here and there, for any extra activities you want to fit in! Since your activities are just fun side projects, the work will be gradual, sure, but it'll simply be a matter of patience at that point." Oh... Novis really thought getting a straight answer would ease his gnawing anxiety. Instead, it feels more like his worst fears have been realized. An hour "here and there" won't be enough. The feeling in his chest shouts this at him, at her. It's not enough time to dedicate his...his attention and passion to his work. He doesn't want to just "fit it in", like a trivial hobby he'll drop the moment he's bored. He... "Is something wrong, Novie?" He's been quiet too long, he realizes. Twilight's looking at him, puzzled. "...I don't know, I've been feeling kind of..." Out of my mind. Restless. Terrified. "...nervous. Thinking about my coronation. I-it just feels like a lot, I guess." Novis bites his lip. "Almost like I'm...panicking inside." His mind feels scattered. He thinks back to earlier in the day; the forced socializations, the hollow friendships, his fake laughter and royal courtesies. Everything he's played along with until now...everything that'll be a permanent part of his life once he takes to the throne- And now he knows that the singular passion that gave him an escape will barely have a place anymore. Twilight's awkward chuckle snaps him out of his spiraling thoughts. "Oh yeah, you...might have gotten that from me. I used to panic ALL the time." Novis pauses, taking a solid moment to eye his mother. "...you still kind of do." "Alright, you got me there. But my point is that I developed a far better grasp on it once I settled into my role! You're quick to adapt, Novie. It'll get easier for you too, I'm sure. I can even teach you the breathing techniques I use to calm down-" Something crosses Twilight's face, as if she's been reminded of something. That eager shine returns to her violet eyes. "But fiiirst...I want to share something with you. I was planning on waiting a year or two, but maybe this will be an exciting source of encouragement!" A spark of magenta magic manifests a black velvet box between them. Her horn alight with energy, his mother wastes no time in presenting it to him before opening its lid slowly. Inside is a golden crown. It's covered in intricate carvings and adorned with evenly spaced blue gemstones. His family's six-pointed star sits neatly at the front, carved out of a red jewel that glimmers under the light of the stained glass. Novis feels an icy wave overtake his entire body. "May I?" His mother asks. He numbly nods, despite himself. He feels the metal settle on his hair, and when the Alicorn before him stands back to take him in, her expression is soft and prideful. A small mirror sparks into existence, blocking out the sight of her and replacing it with his reflection. He sees himself for the first time that day and sees creases under his wide eyes. The sight of that crown accompanying his face brings back the churning in his stomach. "A perfect fit." His mother declares. "I decided to have this custom ordered early! Rarity helped with the design. She used the highest quality gemstones she could find." She then playfully curtsies, dipping her head as an exaggerated fancy accent takes over her voice. "I'd say you look quite dashing, Prince Novis Noctis Spark." -the name he settled on for his coronation. Twilight lifts her head up to look at him, her expression expectant and playful. Novis tenses, his eyes flashing between her and his reflection. She's trying to get him to laugh. She's expecting a reaction. "It's...good." The words come out strangled, but clear enough. He tries to smile. The mirror reveals a grimace. "It's like a...new me." The mirror disappears in another spark of magenta magic. His mother's face is now clearer to him, and there, he sees a worried frown. The weight of the crown leaves his head, and he watches her carefully angle it back into its box. A soft sigh leaves her as she teleports it away, back to her room or whatever pocket dimension her powerful magic pulls items from. "Oh Novie..." she murmurs, catching him off guard. The tips of her feathers reach out and smooth back his hair. Novis meets her sympathetic gaze, feeling more vulnerable than ever before. A small sliver of hope manifests in him. Maybe his mother understands his fears better than he does- His hopes are dashed. "A coronation is a big change. You might feel like you're not ready for something that feels bigger than you. I've been there." Her feathers move to his cheek, holding his face there. "But I promise you, Novis; fulfilling your destiny is the most freeing experience. Soon you'll realize that there was never anything to be nervous about in the first place. You're more capable than you realize. You'll see." The gentle caress of her feathers ends at his forehead. She shoots him one last, loving smile. "Hey. Celestia told me dinner would be ready soon. We should get going; I'll teach you those breathing techniques after." Novis nods, because he isn't sure what else to do. With that, Twilight turns towards the archway exit of the hall, her regal white and blue gown flowing out behind her as she strides away. While he turns to follow, the young prince pauses in place. With a tilt of his head, Novis looks up one last time at the immense stained glass portrait. Celestia's fading sunlight illuminates her faithful student's panel from behind. The radiant purple and pink hues of his mother, in turn, fall on him in streams of colored light. His shadow hides behind him. A sharp pang hits his chest, and his ears pull back as his mother's words return to him. Fulfilling your destiny is freeing. Novis wonders, then, why he feels trapped. ________________________________________ Twi be out here like "It worked out for me, so it'll work out for you!" She's trying, guys. A bit of lore I ended up leaving out in this chapter, because it interrupted the flow: the "coronated name" is a tradition that started with the oldest of the royal children, Fleurence Valentina Heart of the Crystal Empire (AKA Flurry Heart). It continued onto Lumina Alice Solae, and then Amadeus Sirius Altair. As mentioned in his bio, the "Noctis" in the name Nova picked out is a nod to his soul brother and lunar prince, Amadeus. The tradition was intended to help each royal heir fully embody their ascension to the throne. I'm so happy with this art piece. Twilight's stained glass window from the MLP movie is one of my favorite MLP visuals of all time (I have a poster of the full version that includes her friends on my wall~), so getting to recreate it was such an honor. Also, you may notice that this illustration is an absolute parallel of a certain back shot of Twilight from the movie~ It was heavily referenced when making the background! But yes, this chapter is more of a transitional one, meant to fully establish Nova's inner conflict. ; w ; Very important nonetheless.

“I Believe in You.” ch.1

Summary: With your mother's last words echoing in your mind, your perspective shifted. The weight of your family's expectations, your father's relentless training, and the tragic loss of your mother fueled your growing resentment towards magic. Determined to forge your own path and defy your family's reputation, you agreed to attend Luna Nova, a prestigious magical academy, with the intention of tarnishing your family's name.

The Forest Of Arcturus, a place shrouded in enchantments and mysteries. Once you step inside, the air becomes thick with an otherworldly energy that tingles your skin. Sunlight struggles to penetrate the dense canopy of ancient trees, casting dappled patterns of light on the forest floor.

The foliage is vibrant and lush, displaying a kaleidoscope of colors unseen in the ordinary world. Towering trees reach for the sky, their branches intertwining like skeletal fingers, creating an eerie yet captivating silhouette. Moss-covered rocks and fallen logs, adorned with delicate mushrooms and vibrant flowers.

Within the depths of the forbidden forest, magical creatures roam freely. Mythical beings like unicorns, glowing nymphs, and mischievous sprites can be glimpsed among the foliage. The air resonates with the melodic calls of unseen birds and the rustling of unseen creatures. It is a place where the laws of nature are twisted, where the improbable becomes possible.

However, the forest holds an inherent danger. Unpredictable pockets of wild magic surge through the air, creating shimmering ethereal barriers that deter unwelcome intruders. The fauna can turn hostile, and the shadows hold unseen perils. Legends speak of ancient guardians and mythical beasts that protect the heart of the forest, ensuring its secrets remain hidden.

The Arcturus forest is a place of both awe and trepidation, drawing in those who seek its arcane wonders but reminding them of the risks that lie within. It is a realm where magic intertwines with nature, where the forces of light and darkness dance in a delicate balance, and where the founder of the great Ravenwood family, Morwen the Grim, one of the Nine Olde Witches, first ever made contact and tamed a shadow beast.

"Welcome back, everyone. I hope you all had a good holiday," the headmistress's voice echoed through the sea of students. The air bristled with excitement as old friends reunited with one another. Quiet murmurs of greetings and introductions passed through the young girls as the elder witch continued with the ceremony.

Suddenly, like rain in a clear sky, the welcoming ceremony was interrupted by a loud boom. Smoke and dust blinded the witches present in the auditorium, spreading panic like wildfire as the professors and teachers held their wands at the ready in case of an attack.

"We made it!" Akko cheered, laughing like a maniac while the rest just stared at her and her newly made friends. Whispering amongst themselves about the new faces that seemed to pop up out of nowhere, their eyes quickly picked up on their disheveled forms. Snarky comments and mean-spirited laughs slowly started to buzz among the young witches.

Using the commotion as a cover, Ursula quickly and quietly took her place among her fellow Luna Nova staff, praying that none of her co-workers noticed her absence. She had been scolded countless times by the elders, and she had no intention of receiving more. Once she made sure she was in the clear, she looked toward the animated girl cheering in the middle of the room. Her mind eased once she saw her with no added injuries or bruises. She made a mental note to check on her in the future, but for now, she'd enjoy the display of childish wonder from the new witchling.

As Akko calmed down from her high, she lowered her arms and excitedly looked around at the place she would be spending the next three years in. A high dome-shaped ceiling with a multitude of large skylights for easy broom entrance, three large wooden doors suited for giants and other mythical beasts, and countless rows of young witches filled her vision. This was the place of her dreams, the place she had wished and hoped she would be studying since she was a child, the place she begged her parents to let her go and spread her wings.

As she stood there, breathing in the air and feeling the breeze that weaved through the skylight, she truly felt alive.

The more her eyes roamed, the more excited she became. The mere thought and knowledge of her standing on the same grounds her idol, Shiny Chariot, once stood filled her up with nothing but absolute glee. Big doe eyes sparkled with wonder as she looked left and right, taking in as much of her new environment as possible.

As her eyes ran over the profiles of her new classmates, her exploration came to a halt as she saw the most striking shade of purple. She felt a shiver run down her spine the longer she held eye contact, yet for some reason, she couldn't will herself to break it.

Your face possessed a blend of sharp angles and delicate contours, creating an intriguing balance between intensity and grace. Your high cheekbones drew attention to your piercing amethyst eyes, smoky with the weight of ancient knowledge and power within their depths. Your gaze was intense and focused, reflecting both determination and a touch of enigmatic allure.

Her throat felt dry from the way your perfectly groomed eyebrows drew close, creating a perfectly crafted frown. She felt naked under your gaze as you took her all in and analyzed her. She felt shy from her previous actions of shouting and spinning like a child in front of so many people. She had made a fool of herself on the first day of school, in front of you. Something about you just seem to draw her in, for some reason, she felt the need to impress you. To ease that crease on your brow, and hear you voice praise her.

From that moment on, one objective became clear to you both.

No matter what, I definitely must stay clear of this girl...

A determined smile formed on Akko's face. 'I am definitely gonna be her best friend,' she promised to herself as she held your gaze.

You could almost see an incoming headache from the blinding smile the girl was sending you, and judging from the many scars and wounds that littered her legs, both old and new, it was clear to you that she's a walking disaster.

Phase Nova, a MLP universe AU

A quick explanation of what I'm posting under the "Phase Nova" tag on my blog

My au is a WIP fanmade MLP Generation, taking the most inspiration from MLP:FIM. I also, however, have a big heart for the "gimmicks" that earlier generations indulged in, and incorporated as many as reasonable into Nova Equestria.

First things first though! I want to make it clear that I first started fleshing out the AU after watching Jenny Nicholson's "The Applejack Problem" video, and it is inspired by the version of a MLP reboot she pitched there. I started the project as more of a little exercise, but I've put so much effort into it over the past three years, and it has become a big passion of mine. The biggest ideas I kept (off the top of my head) were the idea that everyone has magic and goes to a pony magic school, the idea that twilight IS the lost princess Luna in a way, and a focus on gimmicks.

This project is purely a fun indulgence from me, but I think it could be of interest to other folks too :)

My goals in this "series" are:

Keeping things kid friendly

Characters that would make good toys (I am also a doll customizer and love working on toys of characters from this AU)

Core messages of acceptance, community, social change, equality, and revolution

fixing the earth pony/unicorn/Pegasus "coolness" imbalance (earth ponies magic should be made more obvious!)

fleshing out different pony types and how they are related to one another

A Phylogenetic tree of pony (and some nonpony) breeds in my Equestria

(tumblr is probably gonna fry it since its already pretty hard to read but if anyone is super interested i can make a download available!)

Our Mane Six in this world are Twilight Nova, Whizzer Storm, Pinkie Puddle, Willow Whisp, Rarity, and Applejack.

the story begins with everypony starting their first day at CUM (Canterlot Magical University) (name will eventually change)

Our first Big Bad is Queen Solaria, a representation of stagnation, imperialism, and an obsession with control. She is a Classical Unicorn, as there are no alicorns here (except in extremely rare cases of genetic mutation, but these ponies possess no stronger magical ability than any other). She is Twilight's adoptive mother figure (because "kids love mystery orphans!")

So, what kinds of media are there in real life of this concept?

Textposts explaining lore, magic, characters, etc..

Art!! by me!! I wont be posting much from any farther back than this year because my art has changed a lot, and so has the story!

family and phylogenetic trees! I am in college focusing on ecology and forestry currently, and evolution is a big interest of mine!

Photos of the custom figures I've made of my characters

snips/scenes of a possible whole story (I will update as I can! if anyone shows interest I will probably post on Ao3)

Akko has turned herself into a mouse and is now trying to ask Diana for a ride

Akko: Diana! Can you give me a rid please?

Diana: No Akko, I will not give you a ride. Please return to your normal form this instance.

Akko: C'mon Diana, you owe me!

Diana: I will not give you a ride Akko, please return to normal.

Akko: Pleease!

Diana: No.

Akko: Pretty please!! Just for few minutes!

Diana: No.

Akko: Ugh, you're no fun.

Diana: mmhmm.

Akko poofs back to normal and is sporting a frown.

Akko: Diana you owe you y'know

Diana: I don't recall you doing anything for me Akko, it's more of you owing me.

Akko: Uh, hello? I'm the reason you came back to finish off your studies! The least you can do is give me a ride on your broom for a few minutes!

Diana: You are correct about that Akko, but that has happened a while ago, unlike yesterday when I got you out of trouble again.

Akko: But still! Come on Diana please give me a ride!

Diana: *sigh* You're not letting this go are you?

Akko: Nope! Please just one ride!

Diana: Fine, let's make a deal, if you get a C+ in our next exam i'll give you a ride for 15 minutes, deal?

Akko beams at Diana before engulfing her in a big hug

Akkk: Deal!

The day of the exam

Diana: Are you ready Akko?

Akko: I'm ready! Anything for that broom ride!

Diana: *sigh* Of course.

Akko: Just watch me, i'll get a B+!

Diana: *Smiles* We'll see.

After the exam

Professor Finnelan: Pens down everyone, please pass your papers down, they will be given to you by the end of the day.

Akko: Hehe, I aced this exam

Sucy: What makes you so sure about that?

Akko: I study for it last night!

Sucy: You? Studying? That's something I never expected to hear from you.

Akko: Hey what's that supposed to mean!?

Sucy: Well, you don't study Akko. You're either out with Amanda causing trouble or blabbering about how Diana is pretty.

Akko: I don't do that!

Sucy raises a brow at Akko

Akko: Okay I don't do that all the time...

Sucy: Mmhmm. So what's the occasion for you studying Akko?

Akko: Glad you asked my dear Sucy! Diana said if I can get a C+ on this exam she'll give me a broom ride!

Sucy: Wow, that's a boring prize.

Akko: It's not! I'm gonna spend time with Diana and feel the wind in my face at the same time!

Sucy: Well good luck with that.

At the end of the day, Professor Finnelan gives Akko her exam with her usual sour face.

Professor Finnelan: You failed yet again Ms. Kagari, i'm very disappointed in you. If this continues to happen, you will be expelled from Luna Nova. Understood?

Akko: Yes Professor...

Professor Finnelan huffs and walks away from Akko who looke down at her exam with sadden eyes.

Akko: What's the point of studying if it doesn't do any good?

Diana: I assume that you got a terrible grade on the exam?

Akko: Eck-! O-Oh, Diana. Well uh... Yeah, I got an F again...

Akko gives Diana a sad smile which causes Diana to stiffen.

Akko: I guess I can't get that ride huh?

Diana: Y-Yes, you're correct on that.

Akko: Oh well, thanks for at least considering it

Akko waves goodbye to Diana before walking towards the dorms.

Diana: *Sigh* I have time to give you a 20 minute ride Akko.

Akko: Wait.. Really!?

Diana: Yes, I can fit you in for 20 minutes before helping out Professor Ursula organizing scrolls in the library.

Akko: Thanks Diana!

Akko engulfs Diana in another hug causing her to blush

Diana: Ri-Right, let me get my broom first alright?

Akko: Okay!

Diana's mind: 'Atsuko Kagari, you will be the death of me.'

Elsewhere, a different team had their own issues to overcome. See, when Straus, Koto, Red, and the others recovered from the initial shock of Vyz’s first attack, they soon realized that he could easily do it again whenever he saw fit. Lightverse was already making their plans, they were the epicenter of this whole mess for goodness’s sake! The least that they could do was make their own arrangements. Before getting anyone else involved, the first order of business was reestablishing contact with the other Incarnates and catching them up. To them, their story had continued as normal. It’s understandable, really. As you may recall, their tale loops back around on itself, one minor difference may not be easily detected.

The group of blue royalty took the news about as well as one would expect. There was anger, sorrow, and grief all around. Red had to make sure Nathaniel and Kali didn’t immediately run off to enact revenge. Koto silently cradled Melanie while Amadi sat with them, numb. And, of course, Straus knew exactly how Nova and Luna were feeling as they cried in Azura’s arms, knowing their friend was lost to the dark. Unfortunately for them, there was no time to properly lament. It was time to take action to ensure their World wouldn’t be caught up in Vyz’s plans again.

It was simple for Kali and Nathaniel. In their timeline, they were the soul rulers of the land. All they had to do was prepare a strong barricade around their castle. However, Kali did convince her brother to give at least some form of notice to the general populace. Admittedly, the people they oversaw were confused when the usually overbearing King gave out a warning of grave danger. Most assumed he’d finally gone mad from the power, delusional that some unknown force would overtake his throne. But the few that did believe him did start reinforcing their houses. At least they made some attempt at benevolence this time.

In some ways, arrangements were easier for Amadi and Melanie. They had no kingdom to rule over, so no worries there. Frankly, they only really had one ally; and even she saw them as nothing more than twisted shadows of their former selves. So, they did what they could. They told their friend to hide in a safe place and to let them take care of the clean-up. After all, everyone knew at this point that the Stygians could bite others. No one had tested what would happen if you sunk your teeth into one of them (yet). The umbral siblings ended up settling down for a long nap. They would need the energy for whatever came next.

Azura, Nova, and Luna had perhaps the most complicated task. They had a team back home, a team that they loved and cherished. Their little family, who they’ve watched suffer over and over and over again. They had to figure out how to tell them about Vyz; they at least owe them this explanation. They didn’t tell them what happened during the Synthis and Jupiter ordeals, how could they? Even if they did, would the nature of their story let them remember any of it? But the blue trio would remember. They remembered everything. To the Azul siblings, the self-awareness that comes with being an Incarnate is a double-edged blade.

“Sooo…how are we gonna do this??”

The three stand outside the front door to their home base: a large, colorful house that stands firm amidst a redwood forest. The light of the full moon beams down, illuminating Nova’s nervous and confused face. Luna anxiously taps her fingers together, “I think…your guess is as good as mine there…” “We tell them the truth, and that’s the end of it…”, Azura says, albeit with slight doubt in himself. “The more we stall, the less time we have to get ready. I’ll do the talking.” The girls look at each other and then nod at their brother. They face the door and open it together. Unsurprisingly, they’re all immediately caught by the rest of the group.

Arin, a young man who wields Cyan magic, jumps at the sound of the door opening. “AH-…see guys, I told you they’d be back! But SOME of you didn’t believe me…”, he slumps back in his chair and rolls his eyes, trying to regain some form of composure.

This alerts Phoenix, the Red Wanderer, and leader of the team. Even though he has a fiery passion for heroism, he often gets caught up in the organization of everything. Who’s doing what, who’s going where, etc. And judging by the stacks of paper surrounding him and how disheveled he looks, it’s pretty obvious the Azuls were out longer than he anticipated.

“Oh, thank goodness you’re back!”, that thankful cheer came from Amber, the girl of Yellow. She quickly runs to the trio and gives them each a loving hug. “We were all so worried!”, she stands on her tip-toes to kiss Azura on the cheek. “What took you so long? Are you hurt?”, she asks, softly holding his hands.

“Will you let them come in the door first? You’re letting in the cold air…” That grumpy fellow in the corner would be Zack, the bearer of Black magic. He’s still getting used to working with everyone. The constant hustle and bustle of “hero life” hasn’t been kind to him, and it shows.

The last member of the crew hops up behind the siblings. “Tell me you didn’t go on some fun adventure without us!” Victor, the Green Wanderer, is the most energetic of the bunch. He’s quick to go on performative tangents and is definitely the most expressive out of them all.

Nova laughs apprehensively, “We’re sorry we’re home so late.” “I should hope so!”, says Phoenix, nearly tripping on a paper slip. “You and Azura had a scheduled mission earlier. Without both of you here, it completely threw everything off! Oh- and hello Luna…Wait- tsk! This is exactly my point! Is that why you were out? To wait for her? Certainly, we all could have picked her up together AFTER our shifts…!” Victor nonchalantly leans on Phoenix’s shoulder, “What he MEANT to say was that you gotta tell us what happened out there! Did you have a run-in with Mara!?” “Well, no…”, Luna starts, then looks to Nova for guidance. “It’s… a bit more than that.”, Nova continues, “We had to go talk to some friends who are…uhm…” “Not from around here!”, the duo declares in tandem.

…What in the world are they talking about?

“’ Not from around here’…? Really?”, Arin asks, unamused. “Not that I don’t believe you, but I find it hard to believe you have friends from RealWorld besides me and Amber.” Zack leaves his corner of the room and walks forward, “And if memory serves correctly, this isn’t the first time you’ve gone and disappeared with some sort of lame excuse.” “Everyone, please!”, Amber squeaks, “This doesn’t need to become a big thing!” “Oh, it won’t. So long as your ‘king’ fesses up.” Zack stares intently at Azura, “Answers. Now. What are you three hiding?”

Amber feels Azura’s grip tighten. “Ok, everyone. Back up, and back off. Nova, can you shut the door behind you guys, please?... Azura, if this is important to you, Nova, and Luna, you’re ok to tell us about it. Whatever it is, we’ll make it a team effort and help. Right, you guys?” There’s a pause… then Phoenix sighs, “Yes, right. I’m sorry. But if whatever you’ve been up to deserves our attention, I think we deserve to hear the full truth.”

“…’ The full truth’… Sure.” Azura takes a deep breath, looks at the girls, then looks away from everyone, and starts from the beginning.

“The truth is that all of us, not just my sisters and I, are part of something grander. I know none of you will believe it, but we’re not just constructs of DreamWorld’s spirits, even they have a maker behind them. The makers behind all of us, our…Creators, they live in a place that exists outside here, beyond…everything. Just like us, they’re family who take care of each other and strive to protect those they love. And right now, they’re under attack. We didn’t know because the force they’re up against locked us out for a bit. It’s truly unlike anything we’ve witnessed before. And we’ve seen some…’interesting’ battles alongside them in the past… We need to help them again, now more than ever. And they’re going to need your help too.”

…

“It’s official, they’ve lost it.”, Arin says, dumbfounded.

“But he’s being honest!”, Nova defends.

“It doesn’t matter if you’re convinced or not.”, Azura continues, “They’re going to attack either way and we need to be ready. Our whole world and many others are at risk if we don’t stop this. I know it’s a lot to ask of you all, especially coming from me. But I need you to believe me…please. And if nothing happens,”, he smiles slightly and turns his gaze back to the group, “then you can call us crazy after.”

Another moment of silence.

Phoenix’s footsteps break the tension. He walks to Azura’s side and places a hand on his shoulder. “This is a lot… and I don’t know if certain about all of it yet. However, that is the most genuine you’ve been with us in quite a while. That doesn’t come without respect, cousin. Whatever this threat is, we’ll help you defend against it. You have my word.” Azura exhales and relaxes. Thank everything that was enough. Luna smiles and sighs, “Thank you…”

“If whatever this ‘evil force’ is does appear, how will we know?”, the ever-skeptical Zack wonders. Azura explains, “Truth be told, I haven’t seen them yet. But from what our friends on the outside have said, they all use this dark…void-like energy. Furthermore, there are three levels to this group. First are the basic soldiers, basically blob creatures that can infect you with their bite. People who have been infected are the second group. Finally, there’s their master, Vyz. We’ll be very lucky if he doesn’t show up here.” “Ok, I’ll be honest… that sounds pretty rad!”, Victor states outright, “And any excuse to keep these old fighting skills sharp is fine by me!” “In that case”, says Phoenix, “everyone should go rest as soon as possible. Everyone will have the same mission tomorrow: preparing the citizens for the possible invasion without revealing too many details. And we should also hope Mara doesn’t catch wind of this… we wouldn’t want her getting any bright ideas right now.” Amber beams, “Sounds fine to me!”

The group separates for now, going about their nighttime routines. Arin is the last one to be left in the room by himself.

“…So wait- were the RealWorld people right?! Is there a god out there or what-!?”
