Something that stuck out to me (and I went back to double check) is that Poppy is never introduced as Queen.
Like, maybe John Dory put two-and-two together after she referred to (former) King Peppy as "Dad" but still-
And it's the same when they find Bruce, Clay, and Viva! (Side tangent, does this mean that Viva was intended to be the future Queen? And since she was presumed dead, it went to Poppy?)
To Viva, Poppy is just her little sister who survived. So she wants to keep her safe. She doesn't know Poppy is the ruler now.
It's wild to me that, while they were trying to leave, there wasn't one line like, "I'm Queen of Troll village now, Viva. I can't just abandon our people."
(Instead of the cameo reveal, I would like to imagine this is Branch's brother's reactions if they realized that their baby brother is dating a Queen.)

there is a new scourge on AO3 that I discovered recently...
that scourge is "Placeholder fics". This is thing, where someone posts a "fic" on AO3 with a summary and tags (and sometimes even a complete tag), but when you click on the "fic" the content of the "fic" is something like:
"coming soon" or "in progress" or "an idea I'll write someday"
This is a scourge on AO3 tags that directly violates TOS Section IV, as it is spam (sect B) and inappropriate content (sect H) (not, strictly speaking a fanwork).
If you see these "placeholder fics" on AO3 REPORT THEM. It is easy to do.
Link the fic in report and in the description, you can write something like this:
The linked "fic" is a so-called "placeholder fic" where the author posts a work to a tag and the only content is the words "In progress". The "fic" appears in tags, yet contains no content, so I would consider it to be spam. Thank you!
(This, btw is the actual thing that I wrote to report one of these a few weeks ago)
If you want to get jazzy you can even mention that you believe the "fic" violates TOS IV.H (which is what the AO3 mod told me in the email response to my report) or TOS IV.B.
You can report anonymously if you want afaik. Once you submit a report the AO3 moderators will get back to you at some point to update you on that report and action taken.
This is a simple way that YOU can make AO3 better today. If you see a "fic" that violates TOS in any way, REPORT IT. There are literally millions of fics on AO3 and the moderators can't possibly go through all of them without YOUR help.
I suspect that the people who are posting these "placeholder fics" are probably very young people who are very new to fandom and fanfiction and do not know better. If you are reading this post, and you are one of these people, know that I don't hate you, I just want you to know that what you are doing is a violation of the AO3 TOS and that it fills AO3 tags with spam, preventing readers from finding actual fic to read. There can be (and certainly are) MANY fics on AO3 with the SAME names, if that's what is motivating this.
AO3 isn't a social media site, it's an ARCHIVE for fanfiction. If you want to communicate with your following that you are planning on writing a new fic, use your tumblr, your reddit, your dreamwidth, your substack, your pillowfort, your livejournal, your bird site or whatever the fuck you have to do this. Link your socials in your bio on AO3 if you must. Mention it in the author's notes on your latest work. IDK, just don't post empty "fics" on the ARCHIVE.

CELEBRATING EP 2 IN MY OWN TWISTED CRINGEFAIL WAY.....
❤️💛💙❤️💛💙
I love doing ponifications that push me out of my comfort zone where I have to find creative ways of doing it, pomni and ragatha being the only ones whose mlp designs didn't require too much brain power LOL
wasn't sure how to go about making caine w/o it looking too strange but bc he is based off those chattering teeth toys I wanted to retain that haha, and I thought bubble being a parasprite was too good to pass up 😅
jax is described as a "rabbitoid" so obvi he is a half rabbit half horse freak man uwu
zooble is a draconequus <3
gangle was so hard to get right but yeah she is a pegasus solely so I could add more ribbons lol
and this kinger is technically a knight chess piece now but hey that is literally a horse I HAD TO! 🤷
ALSO I feel like there would be a lack of cutie marks in this au- I think that works well with the idea of them all feeling like they have no meaning or purpose (even in a pony world they shall suffer,,,)
sooo YEAH some of these looked better in my head but I still had so so much fun! it is my only goal in life to ponify everything I can get my hands on, it is my love language!!
AND I LOOVE TADC the new episode is the only thing getting me through the week ❤️💛💙
