Shire The Corn

has being fucking Massive and Immortality changed the alicorns’ perspective on regular ponies? I imagine they’d get more condescending and distant and stuff

You are surrounded by flies. If you pause, and look closely, you realize the flies are iridescent, with deeply colorful eyes, and beautiful wings like stained glass. It cannot see the colorful windows of your world, but you can try to describe them. But know that doing so take up the creature's precious time. Years to them is mere hours to you. In a long conversation about the stars, you and the fly share ideas and perspectives. You come away delighted with a new view on constellations and what they mean to the common folk.

The fly comes away dazzled, haunted, and halfway to the grave. What was to you a wonderful conversation was years of study, communion, and dedication on the part of the small creature. He gave up any other pursuits, he constructed his life around this cause. He lost his friends, family, and home. You lost your lunch break.

You love this creature. You love the small being that you once were. You want to talk to him again. You want to tell him of the stars, of dreams... but to speak with him twice, at least meaningfully, would take from him the rest of his life. Could you demand that from him for the sake of your own curiosity? Years passed for him already. In the time it took you to draw a breath, his childhood ended. Do you summon him again? Or do you let him go to live his life, what's left of it?

It is painful for everyone. It hurts something in your chest, it breaks the heart of a god. It wounds his family to watch him leave them behind for the sake of what? A mere whim? He had ambitions! He had a story! It's all gone now. Rewritten for your musings.

You leave him. He cries for you but he needs not a goddess. He needs to live, to turn from the sky to his fellow bugs.

That's what he is. A fly. A mere insect to you. To hold him down is to pin him through his soft center, and display his corpse as a record of his extinction.

So look away. Forget the color of his eyes, the sound of his voice, and the intelligence that stirred you to pluck him out his world and keep him in yours. There, he would be a wildflower with a cut stem. He would be beautiful, but he is so small, and so quiet. He would be just a decoration on your table; made to dance and sing for your amusement and then tossed out with the rubbish when he breaks.

You miss him. You love him. But he is a crawling worm and you are the rain. There are many others like him, but you must be careful to only speak a few words to each. Or better yet, say nothing at all. Let them fade and mix into a writhing blur without name, stories, or opinions on stars.

You are surrounded by flies.

(I point. Gently, in the voice of somebody who’s mind touched by the outer gods, i whisper truth in your ears:

Your honor the horses are now lesbians

(Anyways here’s the designs)

IM SO SICK OF THIS DUDE

just beyond the far horizon lies a waiting world unknown like the dawn its beauty beckons with a wonder all its own!

my big the lord of the rings: a musical tale piece! tried to include all the principle cast members and their instruments (though many of them play multiple instruments too!) here's a crop of my particular faves, the 4 main hobbits as well:

please full view for details! tysm! ✨💍🌄

🌻commissions open!🌻

"The Last Goodbye" Pippin animatic! The fact that Billy Boyd sings The Last Goodbye always makes it feel like a 'missing Pippin song' to me. The line "I saw the light fade from the sky" always reminds me of the moment in Gondor where Pippin sees the stars vanish behind the clouds of Mordor. This animatic is also directly based on/is a study of shots in ROTK-- so if you're really Deep Into It you might be able to pick out exactly what specific scenes I'm referencing. I may continue drawing out the full song, but I've had this opening bit in my head very vividly for a while.

A Drawing That Came To Me In A Dream and then more patho animals . im on day 4 of patho 2 now and I like it . I’m also more stressed than I’ve ever been before , 10/10

“do you remember the taste of strawberries?”

The Bride and the ugly ass groom

It's my meme! it was made for me and my @skyscrapergods au!

So by the time the MLP show ends, would Twilight be big enough to not interact with her friends anymore? Or does she not become a skyscraper until the last of them passes away?

And, if she does become a skyscraper while her friends are old but still alive, do they somehow visit her? Does Spike visit her?

Growing so large that ponies become bugs takes over a century. Twilight was still able to interact with her original five friends by the time the last of them passed. Here she is now!

Dragons can live for hundreds of years, so Spike was her friendship ambassador throughout the lands surrounding Equestria. After her retirement, Rarity joined him on his journeys, and the two of them visited Twilight often, before eventually flickering out themselves.

"we will make sure that you pay for everything you did."

been sitting on this scene redraw from the beginning of the year and now they are free to frolic on the internet yay
