Plague Times Part 2
I, your lovely unnamed host, have been afflicted with plague due to Pony Flickerman's care no less. Today's episode 17 of the Rump Design Games means we'll be taking a look at the skin crawling Twinkle Eyed Ponies. Prepare thineself.
Galaxy (aka Galaxie/Galaxia)
Spirit of the Pony: 3/5
Does the Palette Fuck: 3.5/5
Ugliness: 4.5/5
From a pony named Galaxy I would expect something that would wow me. This is thoroughly underwhelming. Let's pretend for a moment that all the Twinkle Eyed Ponies aren't terrifying, there really isn't much here to comment on otherwise. I'm shocked her name isn't Dipper. Please ask the stars to stop stealing pony's eyes.
Gingerbread
Spirit of the Pony: 5/5
Does the Palette Fuck: 4/5
Ugliness: 2/5
Pony Flickerman: Fuck they sure are. I mean they're ugly ass gingerbread men but they sure are.
Love the titular Twinkle Eyed thousand yard stare and the Play-Doh lookin' ass cookies on her ass, but otherwise she also doesn't dazzle me. Lady Gaga's Born This Way plays softly in the distance.
Masquerade
Spirit of the Pony: 4/5
Does the Palette Fuck: 3/5
Ugliness: 4/5
The fact that her Rump Design looks like a ribbon from a distance is not promising to her overall score. They disappear when you're far away too, probably because of the eye bleeding (affectionate) yellow that her body is. This isn't Shady, get the fuck out of here.
Sweet Stuff (aka Sweetie/Gourmande/Douceur/Naschkatze/Goloso)
Spirit of the Pony: 3/5
Does the Palette Fuck: 5/5
Ugliness: 2/5
Pony Flickerman: Get those fuckin' toenail things outta here.
I know in my heart they're supposed to be gumdrops but they really do just look like press-on nail stickers. It's bad. This is bad. Sweet Stuff I have several questions. I wouldn't trust gumdrops from the sky. War criminal.
Fizzy (aka Schäumchen/Espumita)
Spirit of the Pony: 4/5
Does the Palette Fuck: 3.5/5
Ugliness: 5/5
Pony Flickerman: I thought those were ice cream cones and I was ready to send this horse to the glue factory.
That won't be necessary today Pony Flickerman. I am yet again not wowed. She is adequate. I have little else to say. Underwhelmed yet again. Love the cult vibes I get from her.
Whizzer
Spirit of the Pony: 1/5
Does the Palette Fuck: 3.5/5
Ugliness: 2.5/5
Pony Flickerman: I'm putting her in a glue trap. Get glued.
While Pony Flickerman has an existential crisis over the state of those hats, I'll give my two cents. They're bad. Pony Flickerman wants to know what any of this has to do with the hats.
Sweet Pop
Spirit of the Pony: 2/5
Does the Palette Fuck: 1.5/5
Ugliness: 4/5
This is thoroughly disappointing. Why are they popsicles when they could be suckers? Pony Flickerman is ranting and raving and in tears. Just. No.
Speedy
Spirit of the Pony: 4/5
Does the Palette Fuck: 4.5/5
Ugliness: 3/5
Pony Flickerman: Those are fatass roller skates.
If her teal wasn't so pale and pathetic I think it would match the orange of her body a little better. I'm not mad at the name choice to go with the Rump Design, it's quite cute even. At least her backstory explains the traumatized look in her eyes.
Sky Rocket
Spirit of the Pony: 2/5
Does the Palette Fuck: 2/5
Ugliness: 1/5
Pony Flickerman: I know what they're supposed to be, but they look like spider lilies. She's bland. My grandma cooked this pony.
I feel like there's a g3 pony that looks near identical to this bitch. Except the g3 pony pulled it off much better. This is underwhelm to a bland extent. That's not how fireworks work.
Final Scores
Galaxy: 11/15
Gingerbread: 11/15
Masquerade: 11/15
Sweet Stuff: 10/15
Fizzy: 12.5/15
Whizzer: 7/15
Sweet Pop: 7.5/15
Speedy: 11.5/15
Sky Rocket: 5/15
Truly the pony that deserved the win the most.

Two new guests to the masquerade....
My pony ocs Beginner's Luck and Muddy Boots all dressed at for the Everfree Infection Au masquerade (by mrsgendered on insta!) Outfits and fake names inspired by their prompts.
A little lore below....
"Poppy Vase" . The invitation ending up under the door of a royal guard was either a bold move or a huge mistake. Either way, it didn't matter, Muddy Boots was going. The commander has already lost her close friend and fellow soldier (who admittedly may have been a changeling she was helping hide) to this disease. She won't stand for the endangerment of anymore creatures- she's going to find the mysterious masquerade's host herself. She won't be going in alone though...
"Shining Example". Beginner's Luck wasn't sure about this shindig or this plan of Muddy's, but the conviction in her eyes was the most fire he'd seen her have since they'd lost Skeeter. Deciding he wouldn't let Muddy Boots go alone, he agreed to help her unravel this mysterious masquerade. It was their job to protect Canterlot and maintain the quarantine- this was just a sort of backwards way to do it. And if he can't help hamming it up once they get there... Well there's no harm in having a little fun as long as they take the proper precautions.

It's My Little Monday!
With...Masquerade Reference Sheet!
Interestingly, her sheet...isn't very referential. The symbol is wrong because it does not have enough masks, nor are they the right sizes. Her hair is also wrong, because it shows her bangs as being a different color than the hair right behind it. She DOES have 4 colors in her mane, as all TE ponies do, but it isn't drawn right. The poses on these are always a 'loose interpenetration' of what the toy gets and...she's no exception.
Notice the story up there saying she has 'magic glasses' that let her change colors. Shouldn't they be......maybe........what her symbol OBVIOUSLY IS?? Which is Masquerade Costume Half-masks??? You LITERALLY hold this on a stick (depicted on the pony) up to your face at the masquerade ball for which she is named. There is no reason that these masks couldn't be the 'magic item' rather than eyeglasses.
UK/Comic/References: These ALSO get it wrong, saying that she has Magical Sunglasses which let her see hidden things/reveal trickery and etc. Note that Shady did too.
Why did no one in the 1980s have the ability to recognize the object on the pony's symbol? (Or all just chose to ignore it) A mystery.
New take:
I would have given her disguise power with the masquerade/disguise ball mask. Like she could make costumes appear or disguise herself as anyone. (Like Sailor Moon)
For the horse-shoe color guide (it is PMS / Pantone) that first pink is her ribbon color....but why are there two blues? 1 of the greens is her eye gem. The yellowgreenest one is that "Surprises' hot-green hair color" something that can't be conveyed via ink.
Masquerade is a big favorite pony of mine. I army her in various varieties, and she appears here whenever I add to it.
