Some peeps asked what were my designs for Anthros of MLP, so i decided to sketch some stuff for the mane 6! and also sunset shimmer because i like sunset shimmer. ✌️ (i've been sketching a lotta stuff like this inbetween arts lmao. all on patreon!)

Bonus unrelated sketch comic about AJ and Rarity getting together for the first time lmao

#sketch #god i have so many rarijack stuff planned lmao #miiight wanna slow down with it #also Rarity is bragging about AJ lol. heavily. #And sunset is coming to that realisation way too late lmao. #MLP #my little pony #pony posting #i don't wanna make a habit out of posting sketches tho #id rather post full art! #mane 6 #applejack #rarity #sunset shimmer #twilight sparkle #rainbow dash #fluttershy #pinkie pie #i'm not one to toot my own horn but. #my anthro applejack design is the only right one sorry #i will allow myself the pride this once #she should be built like she wrestles bears. #and rarity has to be on her tit level #if enough people care about these takes maybe i'll do ones for trixie starlight celestia and luna! #and yes AJ has huge dick energy

Out of curiosity, is Vasco a new character or an old one? Cause he's very very cute!

I believe I designed his looks in 2018 but he existed on concept level years before that. I knew Machete had a brief romance in his youth but I didn't intend to make his former partner into an actual character. And when I eventually did come up with a design and name for him, he wasn't supposed to be a recurring face, just a glorified extra that would show up in a flashback picture or two. Him becoming a major character with extensive backstory and significant role is a very new development.

#I'm so glad I brought him back he's such a good lad #one of the few unironically wholesome characters I have most of them are kind of terrible or at least morally grey #so it's a novel feeling #not to toot my own horn but I think he and Machete play off of each other well there's some kind of symbiosis going on #answered #anonymous #Vasco

I think the problem. the problem is that I have always been afraid of not being invited into the inner circle. and am always wanting to be part of the inner circle. inner circle being the circle of love and companionship and communion. of course being a TCK and a bit of a sheltered homeschooled oddball child has nudged this further along over the years. but I didn't realise how STRONG that desire still burned. to actually be wanted.

#in other words today has been an oddly sad day! discovering that the friends you've made have their own group chats #that are separate from the general group chat (that no one ever talks on) that you aren't a part of is......... i don't know #i KNOW i'm liked by them and i KNOW they love me but do they WANT me around? #like. i know i'm not UNpleasant to have around. i am a good listener and a good conversationalist. #i work very hard at it because it doesn't come naturally to me. #but clearly that's not enough to be added to exclusive group chats! clearly that's not enough to be part of inner core circles #i don't know this just came out of nowhere and i feel as if i've been slapped in the face #sitting at a table where people are talking about the thing someone sent to the group chat #or the photo or quote or reel someone sent to someone else is....... bizarre. #i am trying not to be so hurt by it! i am trying not to take it so personally #it happens. i know it happens. i know it will keep happening. it is just that i thought this was a place where i wouldn't be lonely #and this is the dorm community i've invested so much of my time and energy and love into since last year. #so i think i'm justified in being a little upset! #i'm not crying about it but that's because i'm not about to cry with other people sitting here in the study lounge! #the math is probably really wrong here but i thought that if i poured love in for the sake of pouring love in #somehow somewhere along the line i would also receive love. that i would actually be a part of this community. #anyway that's not going to change how i live here! i committed myself to doing my best this last year #because i don't want anyone to feel left out or unwanted or lonely. i already made the decision #to do everything i can to love the people here. #i'm not trying to toot my horn this is just what i actually want to and have decided to do! #i have birthday cards planned! i have midterm snacks planned! #i've just worked out how i can print christmas and easter cards and stickers! #i'm GOING to love darn it all i'm GOING to pour love in #i think it hurts especially because there's the boy problem going on too #of not being wanted in an area that i DIDN'T expect to be wanted in #and then learning that there is a collective not being wanted in this whole community #it is a Lot and it is very hard and i don't know what to do with it! #i have had this lie (that i'm inherently unloveable and undesirable) in my head since childhood #and i've worked SO HARD to shut that voice up. and it is so so hard to not believe it right now

A while ago I had a chance to arrange an art trade with @lizarddiary / @ashuraarts and here is my part of it! :D

It was a pleasure to have an opportunity to draw Nara (and also imagine her seeing The Steppe for the first time) I hope we’ll have a chance to do something like this again one day!

Please check out Ash’s part of the trade over here!

#ffxiv #final fantasy xiv #au ra #xaela #you know what not to toot my own horn but I'm still proud af of the bg on the second one #we're steppe lizards appreciators first human beings second in this house #in any case thank you again for doing this with me! even if it too us a while to get there xD #matry's art

[pandora15]

also highkey it's amazing what writing two little whump prompts for a challenge month will do to my motivation to write like.

I have been struggling, but after spending like. an hour or so writing, I'm now really excited? And I'm planning on working on more prompts tomorrow?

hopefully this will also give me motivation to work on my longer WIPs, too

#really hoping that i do more writing than i did last year #last year was a pretty light writing year #so i think doing febuwhump at the beginning of this year will really put me in the right groove for writing #also not to like. toot my own horn or whatever but the fic I wrote for the second febuwhump promp absolutely SLAPS #be on the lookout for that one y'all. that's all i'm gonna say #pandora's ramblings

Sunset casting shadows over pebbles — A Rain World Short Story

suns’ turnnnnn to pick up the mess /s

almost at the end now! thanks for reading yall, seriously. also definitely start from the beginning if you’re new to this series.

Contains lore spoilers for Rain World; read at your own discretion.

Hey, old friend. It’s been a while since we last talked, hasn’t it?

You’ve got your local group in quite the mess. Wind has been… inconsolable, if responsive at all. Worries so much, as always. I’m sure you can guess.

Moon’s… in a bad state. I’m sure you know that too. Sig says they’ve sent her something, but I’m not sure how exactly they’re doing it. They said their transmission arrays are broken, but they were quite blasé about it. They refused to explain their methods.

They seemed rather out of it. In a bad way. You know I talked to you most, and only occasionally with Moon and Wind, so I don’t know them or Innocence very well, but. I think… Everyone’s in a bad state. It’s a lot to lose a neighbor, especially someone like Moon. 

… Innocence showed me the images. I know you didn’t intend for things to end up like this, but seeing the state of the Rot, I can’t help but wonder if you were prepared for this. 

Well. No one would be. That’s a silly thought. But the possibility of failure… Did it ever cross your mind?

No one knows what exactly happened to Moon, but Innocence said that the two of you shared groundwater, so she ran out of water and collapsed due to slag build up. What you were doing consumes a lot of it. I’m certain you ran calculations on that prior to going through with the plan.

Did you willingly continue, knowing that? 

I don’t think I’m angry. I think I’m just disappointed. You were always more frustrated about this than I was, but I never thought you would really go this far. Could go this far. I guess I underestimated you. I don’t know whether I should feel proud about that. I probably shouldn’t.

None of them want to talk about this. Innocence in particular was very irate about me reaching out to you. Said quite a few nasty things; I won’t relay what. Fundamentally, though? I don’t think you’re cruel. Or at least, you don’t set out to be cruel on purpose. You just get a bit too wrapped up in your own problems. 

All of us do that, at one point or another. I’m sorry I didn’t reach out to you sooner.

When was the last time we talked, anyway? It’s been so long. You got so quiet, and I didn’t think to reach out. What was the last conversation we had? I suppose I could search through our chat logs for that, but still.

I hope you see this. I don’t know if this will reach you, but I hope it does. If this is the last thing I’ll ever say to you, I hope this suffices as a proper farewell.

I miss you, Five Pebbles.

#rain world #rain showers #the echo of destruction #you can see me getting lazier and lazier with each summary because of how much prior context they require #like if you read this one you better start with moondown #also i just wanna toot my own horn a little bit and point out the titles #all of them are Very deliberate and i'm a little sad no one's pointed out anything about them #i'm especially proud of nsh's one. that one took some very specific googling #i might ramble a little more in the final piece #that's going up sometime in the afternoon tomorrow. i prewrote it #anyway #seven red suns #almost forgot the character tags #he's really the only one here but like #obviously pebbles is talked about a lot #but so are sig wind and innocence #a little #okay enough tag rambling i need to go turn into a slug

Your Existential Crisis & You: a Guide, with love, xoxo The Frosts

Part 2: The Twins vs NIHILISM

eheheheheehehehe >:)

(Part 1) Part 2

I am ONCE AGAIN waking up from a nap on Friday evening to post Thursday Night Doodles and cackle to myself all evening about it >:)

Once I had the doodles for the Cold Front well on their way, the image of Fino and Fiera as that nihilism meme, you know the one:

Popped into my head unbidden and I IMMEDIATELY printed it to trace the poses and then give it my BEST ATTEMPT WITH THE TWINS. And y'all. Getting the stereotype one for Fino was a fucking NIGHTMARE. I have no less than SIX (6) skeleton sketches, one of which was basically almost done but wasn't crouchy enough lol. What a fun challenge that was!!

And, of COURSE, here are the sketches because A) I liked them just as much as the scans up there and B) THE SKETCHES ACTUALLY WORK SIDE BY SIDE FOR THE MEME! Whereas the SCANS don't quite--hence why they're one on top of the other, lol.

BOOM.

Do I have something for the Blinter? WHY YES, I DO! An IDEA. I have Blaise for sure but the one Winter's slotted as rn doesn't seem to fit in with the theme. Granted, she is the most unhinged of all the Frosts (it's where they get their shenanigan related ideas from lol) so it checks out that she'd be not QUITE in the same wheelhouse with their existential crisises but THAT'S FOR ME TO DWELL ON, AND YOU TO LAUGH ABOUT IN 3 TO 5 BUSINESS WEEKS :D

happy weekend everyone! I'm gonna go do the aforementioned cackling now >:)

#you are all so inspiring with your doodles and arts and such that I am feeling DETERMINED in this HELLSITE tonIGHT >:) #dani doodles #crystal springs #the twins #fino and fiera #fino frost #fiera frost #ocs #memes #tsc #tsc3 #won't do the full tag bc it's just ocs and some days i do genuinely worry that bystanders will pop into the tag #and get super confused when the frosts are all over it and be like WHAT MOVIE? THE SERIES?? #because some days I scroll through the tag and see them enough in there that i worry about unintentionally gaslighting lol #MAYBE IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF ME TOOTING MY OWN HORN/BEING FULL OF MYSELF/PRESUMPTUOUS/NARCISSISTIC BUT I DIGRESS. #....there is no way i spelt those words right. but they are not being underlined in red. #tho lately i find that more and more often the red squiggle knows NOTHING and i'm like. STOP UNDERLINING IT IT'S A WORD!! #anyway. thursday nights are doodle nights while i listen/watch critical role #i have two silly blinter ones but! they are rough drafts. so very. how do you say. WHAT'S A SCALE #but goddamn funny so if u wanna see them lmk and MAYBE i'll share em #and they are NOT related to the existential crisis arts! #OKAY ENOUGH OUT OF ME I NEED TO WASH MY HAIR. TOOTLES!

To the gang- if you could have dinner with one person or pokemon, living or dead, who would it be?

Myu: Hmn... Well, maybe my father? Erm -- actually, I don't know... I've never met him, and maybe it would be too awkward. Too many questions I don't know if I'd actually want to hear the answer to. Maybe I could eat dinner with an ancient mew? That could be interesting.

Atticus: Aw, well, I don't know a lotta people, but I'd want it to be fun, whoever it is. I'm not lookin' to be stressed out at meal time, y'know. I usually wish for the food before I wish for the people, but... eating with Myu around really isn't bad.

Topaz: A giant! A big monster!

Gamma: The last person who knows who I am. Someone out there's gotta know.

Clara: You do realize that could mean that purrloin, do you not?

Gamma: Ooh -- tss -- ah. Well, that's a deal breaker. There's someone else, right? Right...?

Clara: Oh, I would like to have dinner with one of the greats. Perhaps a composer of some of my favorite musical arrangements, or maybe an author...

Steven: Y'know, I think I wanna have a good time with the guys who invented magical weapons. They're just so cool! I could learn a lot from that.

Roxanne: Oh, I could think of a few celebrities... I bet they make terrible dinner company, but boy if I don't like the curated image of them I get to see!

Opal: Oh, if only I could get Steven to come to dinner...

#the stars shine bright comic #asktssb #myu #atticus #topaz #gamma #clara #steven #roxanne #opal #mew #zoroark #purrloin #pokemon #scientist #greatgoldlion #there is a dinner scene between opal and steven in an old draft #and it's one of the funniest fucking things i've ever read in my life #i'm not tooting my own horn. i rediscovered it after i forgot i wrote it and it's unhinged

There is an art to looking and appearing rich as shit in public, like the type of rich that does not care about the looks, and I seem to nail it. here are the instructions:

ok thanks that's all

#me #a beautiful picture #I'm going to be taggin this in such a way as to present myself as a gurlie #coquette #copenheigan style #fashion #photography #omg those ppl are gonna love this #old money aesthetic #HA! tooting my own horn #also my computer is filthy as shit and the sunlight is hitting the screen it's like my dad owns an oil company #he does work in oil but not anymore he got tired of the field and all the bs #like he does work with his hands for a living ok #but yeah one time someone gave him a very expensive watch because apparently in his own way he's like the father of the oil field #like he mentors all the young guys and shows them the ropes and stuff #so now if he's in any province #or like half the countries in africa or specifically the phillipines #like he's gonna eat for freee! #he was offshore once and apparently some guy told him his hardened FuuFuu was monkey brain #and the entire rig believed this guy #and so they all made a bet he wouldn't eat it #and he did #and it was delicious because it was just fufu #so he was like "omg monkey brain is delicioius #only found out it was fufu like two years after it happened it #that's like so early 2000s oil field core
