//I can't overstate how amazing this ENTIRE BLOG looks! Thank you for the art of Stella! And wow, Sesshōmaru (yes, I pulled the name from a wiki, don't judge me) looks incredible! A little bit of silly never hurt anybody, heh.

//I feel like I've said this before, but I'mma say it again, go follow this blog!

//One of these days, I need to sit down and watch the whole anime...

Most of these characters were ones I had already drawn before, so I'm just going to upload new ones and ones with interesting poses and/or expressions ^^ Send me a message if you want a particular PNG. I'm just limited on how many images I can stick in this post and it's already so long!

Honestly I've been waiting for an opportunity to draw Stellar for a while. I love her design! Such a pretty pony. Very G2 toy line in style.

This one gave me a chuckle! Terra always has such good Pinkie energy. The toonforce is strong with this one.

Love his sassy vibe and swooshy hair! I hope I got the cloak okay. I didn't want to cover too much of him and obscure his body.

Okay maybe that wasn't a very unobtrusive offering of an ice pack, but it WAS funny.

Not to toot my own horn, but I honestly feel like I knocked this design out of the park. What do y'all think?

Oh he big mad.

And finally...

BALD!

//Those last four panels are unironically just Stella protecting her boyfriend.

//Minus the murder. Stella would only scare the kid.

//Granted, she's really good at that, especially now that some... stuff has happened.

//Long story short, she and her eldritch adopted daughter (not my character btw, she belongs to a friend) are now able to fuse with no downsides, and as it so happens, said eldritch adopted daughter is a universe-subsuming interdimensional horror in her true form.

//You'd never suspect it though since at first glance, she's only a cute little critter, and at second glance, she just has unexplained black fog powers but is otherwise unremarkable.

//...

//I'm so sorry that so much stuff has been happening off-screen, I've just had zero motivation for this blog lately. ;w;

//...

//And if you can't tell, Stella's family is weird.

We've never seen Silver interact with Cream despite the fact he and Blaze are supposed to be such good friends and Cream is one of Blaze's good friends XD

so I had to do it myself. she's taught him all about chao

Dear Sol,

Can you tell me about Hallowed Steel in Elysium? Like the properties and such? I have read that its te strongest material you guys created? I'm quite interested to learn more....

Dear Stella,

Throughout your mutiverse & Omni verse travels, is there such a thing as a "indestructible" material?

Many thanks from both of you <3

- From Twilight Sparkle

"Ah, Hallowed Steel. The backbone of our... well, everything, really. It's a powerful mana conductor, and when infused with certain spells, it can be used for a variety of different applications, from weaponry to infrastructure to electronics. Much of what we make almost always has Hallowed Steel somewhere in its construction."

"The sheer durability and strength it can acquire by supercharging it is also quite impressive. The pinnacle of our technology uses this Hallowed Superalloy, in fact. Though, our definition of a superalloy is a bit different from convention. We only used it for supercharged Hallowed Steel, and is only really meant to describe its vastly superior characteristics.

"Short answer? No. Nothing is indestructible. No exceptions. Long answer? You'd have to shatter the laws of reality to make something truly unbreakable, as it's the limitations posed by the laws of physics that prevent such a thing from existing. Among other things, of course. But if you bend those laws just right, you can theoretically get pretty close. But there's always a weakness."

"Heck, you impose a weakness on your supposed 'indestructible material' by breaking the rules of our reality: simply enforcing said rules on said material will render it destructible. From there, you just have to find its weakness. You'd need to be able to command reality itself to be able to do that, however. Nothing a bit of magic can't fix, right?"

Video recording starts

“Hey Stella… I know it’s been an awful long time, but I think it’s time I officially tell you where I’ve been.”

She would take a breath to collect her thoughts before speaking to the camera.

“There’s a space… one that counsel has no idea about, similar to a Dark Corridor that the Organization uses, but it’s completely different. Infinite worlds we couldn’t access before now opened to be visited… I had managed to stumble into this space after using a hefty amount of my magic to get in, this space is precious… so much knowledge to learn, so many amazing worlds. So I dubbed it as “The Infinite Corridor.” A hallway of doors free to open and see what’s out there.”

She would rub her eyes tiredly, looking at the distance the camera wasn’t looking in.

“I hope to show you and Solar soon. And I’ll send more information as soon as I can…”

She would smile towards the camera.

“Goodbye for now Sis…”

The Video Ends.

Stellar blinked, trying to process what she had just heard in the video. "Huh..." And the Council doesn't know? Not even she knew! This "Infinite Corridor" has garnered some interest from her. She was just worried. Worried there was some kind of secret there that was never meant to be discovered. Something dangerous.

"I hope you'll be alright, sister..."

I used to be the same way, having my OC be overpowered in fights. Now I've simply toned him down greatly, to be simply a bare-knuckle brawler with transformations that can turn the tide in battle if need be.

//See, this is what I'm talking about when I say reasonable power fantasies. That's sorta what Sol is, though he does have a few secrets of his own~ But not nearly as busted as, say, Origin Stella.

//I feel like it's rather clear to some of you that neither of the Stellas you guys are aware of are quite... balanced, though. Definitely not Prisma, but even normal Stella (who I call Prime!Stella or just Prime) is a bit crazy.

//That's why the Multiverse Council limits her power depending on the universe she's in, rarely ever unlocking it for any reason. I believe Stella herself has mentioned this before, but it's part of her being a Council Agent. All Agents have their abilities limited when deemed necessary by the Council.

//I think about these things way more than I probably should.

[ask-the-cosmic-duo]

What am I reading?

//It really seems like @the-starry-traveller is being made to fight someone with a power fantasy that they're unwilling to put aside for the sake of fairness.

//As someone who had the same issue at one point, I can tell you how unbelievably boring and unfun it is to be unbeatable. Knowing the outcome defeats the whole point of letting it play out.

//These days, all of my characters have weaknesses and limits, even if they're a little absurd, though said absurdity only really applies to the Stellas, to be honest. Yes, plural. Long story.

//Stella's two strongest States, for example, have pretty significant issues that limit their usefulness.

//The Abyssal State utilizes the void, and has the potential to corrupt or even kill her at higher levels. If her soul is corrupted, and she dies while the corruption remains... well, I've not decided what would happen to her, but I'll just say it's very unlikely for her to come back from that, even with Determination. There's a reason we've yet to see its full power, even outside of Tumblr.

//Well, two, but the second isn't a genuine issue and more just me waiting on some Calamity music to be made and uploaded by its current composer, as a certain set of themes are what I imagine the Abyssal State's "theme" being.

//Meanwhile, the Origin State is straight up inaccessible to her in most situations, only manifesting in extremely dire circumstances where a lot is on the line. In other words, she can't choose when to use it, otherwise it'd invalidate basically every fight she gets into.

//And lemme tell you, there's a very high chance you'll never see either of these on the blog due to how insanely powerful they are. I refuse to use them unless everyone is in agreement about it, and that's not gonna happen on Tumblr of all places.

//Point is, I'm hesitant to get involved because I know I'm gonna make him angry by enforcing my own RP standards, which he most certainly does not meet. And if you're wondering what those standards are, I'll make it simple.

//Good grammar, decent character writing, and reasonable power fantasies. Here's a rule of thumb for that last one: if no one is capable of breaking, defeating, or otherwise besting something you made, no matter how strong they are or what that thing is, then you've failed to meet the bare minimum expectations that I hold for everyone I RP with.

//I'm probably more tolerant than I should be, honestly. I can work with a lotta things. But that's where I draw the line. Total invulnerability under all circumstances.

//Even my most powerful character, Prisma, Stella from the future, a Transcendent Spirit, who refuses to fight because she knows it'll be unfair, or even get involved in a lot of things for the same reason, who is capable of fighting and defeating even the most powerful villains in the multiverse, who has even adopted an interdimensional eldritch horror as her own daughter, is still able to be beaten with the correct tools. And it's already happened, even by characters not of my own creation. Heck, many of the other Transcendent Spirits are stronger than her because they've been alive for far longer.

//Even Prisma, who was specifically designed to have no limits not to win every fight, but so that I can have fun with wacky scenarios, has a limit. Because being limitless is boring.

//When you can do anything, nothing has meaning. Yes, strive to be better, push your limits, see what you're capable of. But also accept that everything and everyone still does has a limit, one you'll eventually reach no matter how hard you try to push past it.

Dear Stella,

Twilight here. Do you have any tips on how to deal with someone insanely powerful? We are talking about 4th wall breaks. - Twilight.

"Hm... Good question..." Stellar brought a hoof to her chin as she tried to think of a solution.

"Well... sometimes, there's not much you can do but bring in someone equally as capable. Though, if you can somehow forcefully suppress their power, that can be quite effective. The issue is that the same method won't work on everyone. Some need to be entirely suppressed, some need to be suppressed in specific ways, like suppressing specific abilities or powers, and some need their connection to whatever empowers them blocked.

"It's kind of a complicated issue, and if you can't tell, it's far easier to just call in someone that can handle the issue if you're able to." She seemed to be dropping a bit of a hint...

[ask-the-cosmic-duo]

//Yep, doing the same thing. Getting real sick of it. Additionally, let me tell you guys that I don't intend to get political about real world issues on here anytime soon, and you can't make me. I've made my stance, but I'm not about to scream about it online, especially when I might be at risk myself. Leave me alone about politics.

Not happy I have to do this, but due to an overwhelming amount of recent anon Asks being little else than scams from fake people begging for donations for people that don't exist, I'll be closing Anonymous Asks across all accounts.

*a white crystal flower with a gold stem is left there*

Stellar found it when coming in from exploring another world. "Huh?" She approached it cautiously, lifting it with magic and inspecting it. "The heck is this...? I've never seen anything like it..."

Naturally, her first instinct is to scan it with her PDA. She pulled it out from her mane and switched it on, holding its camera up to the flower. "Let's see what the database says."

To both of you: Whats your favourite brand of coffee? - Twilight Sparkle

"Honestly, I'll drink whatever I have access to, so long as it's not too bitter. There's a sweetspot I like, but I otherwise don't really mind. Sol's got some good coffee, though."

"I try not to get anything cheap. There's a brand I like back home that I usually drink, Starfire Coffee. It's very high quality, if you'd believe that. The kind I buy is quite strong, but not too bitter with some cream and vanilla. I try not to add too much, of course. A small amount of bitterness is always welcome."

"Woah, you're back! Hah, nice!"

"You guys remember my Nobody? Remember, with a capital N. She's really strong, and quite capable with a keyblade! Go say hi!"

//Basically a sisterblog run by someone other than me who has a pretty huge hand in Equestria Cross's current lore.

//Also, I apologize for my absence, Part of it is due to college, and another part to Final Fantasy XIV. Yep, finally got back into it, and I've gotten up to Patch 3.1's MSQ. No spoilers, but I'll tell you it's been a crazy ride so far.

//Also, dragons are cool. This has nothing to do with FFXIV, I just love dragons.

//Might talk more about it at some point, but for now, know that I'm currently a level 64 Samurai, and probably will remain one for the foreseeable future. Sure, I might level other jobs, but my calling is to the katana.

“Hello! I know it’s been an awful long time since I’ve talked here on the wonderful app! But I’m back with a new look and some new stories to share, bringing a new outlook on the world of Equestria Cross! With some special guests joining here and there, I hope you enjoy! And don’t be afraid to ask questions!”

[ask-the-cosmic-duo]

“Sorry to chime in, but I do think that’s happened to me before, Zooks. If you’d don’t mind a little exposition…”

Stella cleared her throat. “I’ve… experimented with using chaos magic long before acquiring the Entropic State, if you could believe that. Or any state, for that matter. With Discord’s help, too.” She briefly paused. “Didn’t work. Partially because of the fact that chaos magic is not controlled like normal magic, but also due to my thinking being much more rigid back then. It’s probably not surprising, then, that it didn’t work out.”

“The weird part is that the effect it had on me wasn’t sickness, but pain. Probably pretty easy to chalk that up to our two universes’ magic rules being a bit different, but I also think it’s due to the nature of chaos magic. It’s hard to comprehend properly, yet I was putting so much effort into doing so without stopping to think if that was even the right way to go about it. Basically, I was risking a potential mindbreak, or whatever you wanna call it, trying to wrap my head around the nature of chaos.” She sighed. “Not my brightest moment.”

“This leads me into another weird thing about me, but I think I’ll save that for another time, this is already a huge tangent. Just thought that you’d think that little story was interesting.”

Do you have a medicine for magic posining

I want to say a little apology to this little pony who asked this question... The reason why it took so long is because when the question was asked I was focused on other projects, Exams...

I think I can handle this well now so I hope you understand <3
