sooooo, this is based on a one shot a friend made for me, for a little context: Luigi and Bowser had become closer after a serie of events, but King Boo decides to capture Luigi and marry him right on the spot (he got interested on him after some interactions at the beginning). The thing is, King Boo fking decides to marry him right on Bowser castle while he was gone, he even had to fight the koopalings bc of course they would, they know his father loves Luigi. Then the things from this comic happens, Bowser shows up and finds the weding happening, ready to throw hands. So, yea, i just wanted to make some fanart for my friend xd

Friendly reminder, lovelies, that you are not obligated to read everything I write and I write when I can. I get that some people don't care about florist!Bucky, college!Bucky, etc., and that is perfectly fine. But you also don't need to send discouragement if I update something you aren't interested in. That won't make me write other things faster. I'm doing my best.

Thank you to those who do encourage, uplift, and support. ♥️

Was Ashnard an illegitimate son of the king?

(This post contain spoilers for FE9/10)

Ashnard; the "only" surviving member of Daein's royal family, as we progress through the game's story, we come to find out how his family was wiped out (almost) entirely, his involvement in this tragedy and his reasons for having committed such acts.

There is some information scattered across both games regarding Ashnard's position in the royal court prior to the downfall of his family that I feel are of importance understand his character better.

Our main sources of information will be the following:

- The base conversation with Tanith in chapter 18 (PoR)

- Ashnard and Bryce's conversation in the final chapter of PoR

-The final chapter of part 3 (RD)

The base conversation with Tanith explains what happened to the royal family 18 years prior to the mad king's war:

[Ike: "Nobles, you say? So the royal family fell victim to this plague as well?"

Tanith: "Yes. The reigning king and queen and some twenty or so princes and princesses fell ill. And everyone who fell ill perished." ]

Here, we learn that the king, his queen and ~20 princes and princesses died because of a "plague" (which was actually the curse of a blood pact)

There's other important information in the base conversation with Tanith, but I feel like it's important to mention that the way this information was treated in English localization and original Japanese script differs slightly.

English localization:

[Tanith: "You see, his name was never mentioned in any talk of succession before that time. He was of such a distant bloodline that he was unlikely to be king." ]

Japanese script:

[タニス: "そうだ。 だがそれまでは…

王位継承には名の挙がることがなかったほど、

王位には遠い存在だったようだ。"

tl: Tanith: "Indeed. But until then...his name had not ever come up in talk of succession; that was how far he was from the throne, it seems." ]

(Link to the fan translation can be found here, I recommend reading it to understand my post better)

"Of such a distant bloodline" VS "that was how far he was from the throne"

Ashnard is consistently referred as the king's son across both games, which means that he can not be of "a distant bloodline". (probably an error on the translators part)

In the final chapter of PoR, when Ashnard reveals the truth behind the downfall his family, he admits to killing his father, brothers and his stepmother.

[Ashnard: "The thing that killed my father was not plague, nor was it another illness.  It was me."

Ashnard: "Oh, but it doesn't end there. There was my stepmother, too. And every brother who stood to be a legitimate heir...All of them died by my hand."]

Before I get to my point, let me list what do we know for facts:

- Ashnard is the king's son

- The queen of Daein died because of the blood pact (and thus, was killed by Ashnard)

- Ashnard killed his stepmother

- He killed around 20 princes and princesses (Note: the title of prince/princess is not exclusive to the king's children; it can also be used for his siblings/grandchildren)

- He killed "every brother who stood to be a legitimate heir"

- His name never came up in talks of succession

So, how does the king's son can end up so low in the succession line?

While not explicitly stated, it seems pretty obvious (to me) that the queen and Ashnard's stepmother are one and the same.

If Ashnard was born from an extramarital affair, it would explain why he was never seen as a potential heir to the throne, the queen's children and potential grandchildren would be prioritized over him.

And with over 20 princes and princesses in the family, it's not far-fetched to imagine that some of them were born out of wedlock.

With all of that in mind, let's take a look at these quotes:

[Almedha: "Ashnard, he… always worried about the future of a world without equals. He was born an outstanding man, wise beyond his age, yet could never become king."

Ashnard: "I question the way in which our society is designed. No matter what strength a person has, it is the station he is born into that controls his destiny. And you cannot control where you will be born. Do you believe that a person of low birth should simply endure the curse of his station?" ]

We can grasp why he became so enamored with the idea that "the strong should possess everything", because as an illegitimate son of the king, his chances of becoming king through legitimate/nonviolent means were probably close to zero. Physical strength was his only way obtain some sort of legitimacy. (for example, his name was well known in the army prior to his ascension to the throne)

TL;DR Although his father is indeed the king of Daein, many elements imply that Ashnard's mother is not the queen, making him an illegitimate son of the king.

Picture this: we're called for an unresponsive male in a dumpster. Not usually a good sign, so I'm speeding because maybe we can narcan, CPR, and tourniquet our way out of this one. I park on the curb and we're HUSTLING to this dumpster, and then this rope just. Descends out of the sky. And a hand from inside the dumpster grabs the rope and- oops! Look at that! A helicopter is flying our patient off into the sunset

GUYS. I know you have secret identities. But come ON. How am I supposed to explain this in my report?

Hi! It's come to my attention that my previous poll wasn't very good in its tone and options (the lack of an other option and the tone being very harsh specifically). Since these things are entirely my fault, I've decided to make a new poll with better options!

Again, I am so sorry for the previous poll being offensive/hurtful to some or just not inclusive. I hope this one is better than the previous poll!!

QSMP MLP AU REAL?????

I've been seeing a whole lotta Qsmp x MLP talk recently and since I'm in the process of rewatching seasons 5 to 9 of MLP friendship is magic it got my brain gears turning and I just couldn't help myself from writing this down :,D

I think it's obvious that the Cucuruchos and The Watcher would be alicorns. Both cucuruchos would have cutie marks reining over perfection and happiness, respectively, while I think The Watcher would probably be something like chaos (now that I'm thinking about it, the two perfectly contradict each other, don't they??) or madness

Madagio would also probably be an alicorn, though I don't know what his special talent/cutie mark would entail. The Enderking would maybe be the dead ghost of an alicorn? I don't think there are any gods in mlp (though I guess that's what au's are for) besides Discord, and we all know what Discord's like, mismatched and stuff and more like a serpent

NOW, TO THE GOOD STUFF !!!!

These might be some hot takes but I'm making most of this up as I go, couldn't resist making a list of these funky little cubitossss

(edit: future me talking here, I completely forgot about a lot of the other species at the time of making this; dragons, changelings, griffins also I think???? I may make a continuation of this where I change some of them into different kinds of races seen throughout MLP)

Love how no longer the guardian Nim realized her flaws and mistakes and there we have e.l.a Nim 😭💀

Unfortunately, people in wattpad don't understand Nim's character 😭

Nim is gentle, she still almost like the canon since she view humans and monsters as rotten apples (I mean she's correct 💀)

Nim was immortal so she lived long enough to see what is humanity
