dragony looore, for anyone who's curious (me and like 1 person??)

in my version of MLP g4, the Gingerverse, there are multiple hybrid pony races: canine ponies, feline ponies, and mentioned above, dragonies. so far, their lore is mainly in my head, but very slowly and randomly, i plan to elaborate on it!! so uhhhhhh enjoy? happy to answer any questions but i totally get that this interests me and probably me alone lol, so no worries there

reminiscing on days gone by…

So far I’ve been keeping all my ocs living in this one town in Equestria I made up (a coastal town called Maple Leaf) and only just now have I considered making multiple towns or at least other areas lol. My original setup would be the main, easy-going town of Maple Leaf, with cottages and shops interspersed along the coast. Then a more urban area with modest skyscrapers and such towards the inland (but now that I think about it, it could also just be further down the coast.) and then maybe even have some neighborhoods in the sky, like on clouds like Cloudsdale but near the mountains/hills that encircle Maple Leaf. Idk for sure, as I’m like the most indecisive person alive, but it is fun to brainstorm :)

finally sketching out some Gingerverse lore. It involves pirates, the ocean, and some big bad(?) sea monsters ✨

another new pirate oc wip, but this guy will be very important to the gingerverse lore 👀 also he’s cute and i love him <3

Question about Indigo! (and sorry if this is a part of his lore you posted and I missed!)

Does he have a disability like paralysis or hypotonia or does he use a wheelchair/cart/appropriate horse adaptive tool due to him having an alternate form that is better adapted to a different environment and he isn't as skilled at walking with the standard unicorn form?

Either way he looks really cool and I love your art!!!

Aw thank you for the compliment and for asking!! I haven’t touched on this yet (I update my Gingerverse info post at a snail’s pace unfortunately haha) but I’d be happy to answer for ya! Let me preface though that I am not an expert on any disability and I’ll try my best to be accurate where I can. 

Indigo has incomplete paraplegia which means his leg muscles are paralyzed to a certain degree. This is due to an injury to his lower spinal cord. While he can stand on all fours for brief periods of time to do simple things like change wheelchairs, get up from sitting, get in/out of the water when swimming, he very much prefers being in his wheelchair when up and about! (fun fact, his wheelchair and all its parts can be made waterproof due to a cool spell he learned!)

Though he would absolutely love the idea of being some sort of mythical water beast who takes the form of a tiny unicorn for travel haha!

I have an interesting backstory that involves Rio and Princess Celestia planned, but in the meantime here’s a tiny Rio presenting Celestia with her latest drawing

As a little colt, there was a time when Cinnamon Sticks put on a witty, comedic persona in order to make others laugh and in turn, like him. But he often went too far and alienated others. A particular jokey remark gone wrong made him realize how much he was making others uncomfortable, and he retreated to his room for days. What emerged was a more moody, sad, gruff Cinnamon. It may have seemed he gave up on what others thought of him, but he was just good at hiding his true feelings. He would keep up this “whatever, I don’t care” attitude throughout his teen and adolescent years, but everypony who knew him could see he was trying his best to be a good pony.
