Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

[joocin-thebox]

"I did it for you" has gotta be my favorite form of betrayal. You gave me a gift I never asked for, and now I have to look around at the world you destroyed with the knowledge that it was gift wrapped and addressed to me.

Here it is: the largest set of collab adopts that @harriertail and I have done so far! This set is based off of all 50 of the United States. We split it up roughly into east and west, with Harrier designing the easternmost states and me designing the west.

We will return to our usual schedule of posting on the 15th next month. We hope you enjoy!

Please read my rules here before adopting (applies only to cats designed by me).

All of these designs are $30! DM the artist who drew the cat to claim please (either @needlepine or @harriertail). Check the labeled images above if you're not sure.

MAOMAO AS A DEER VISION SEEN TO FRUITION!!!!

this was real fun bc ive always wanted to do the "color reflection" thing but never had the balls to do it :) fun exercise and break from more stressful drawings in my queue :D ty maomao for being so inspirinnggg

+ some alt vers under cut bc im CRAZY and can never let them just be lost to time

[joocin-thebox]

"Hi chat," i say to the void, "have apothecary diaries ponies," i continue, "please"

Artistic ramble under cut

Something about,, maomao being tasked to go talk to some Important Pony and she's allowd to bring a partner (xiaolan, her #1 ofc) , but Jinshi also wants to go bc hes bored of work and wants to get out of the castle

So he gets permission to go with her in disguise,

And he and yoh are both alicorns so they have magic/potions equipped that'll change how they look

In jinshi's case, i think itd make him a slightly shorter, lankier, and slightly change his coat color and hair texture

Maomao doesnt help with the magic portion of the disguise but she says he looks too obviously "jinshi" so he gets his thicker brows and jinka moles and she ponders over his cutie mark a little bit before deciding its part of the disguise, since she has no idea what his cutie mark actually is

(Spoilers: its not part of the disguise)

Maomao isnt given details on the disguise spell/potion bc what does an earth pony need spell knowledge for?

And she's constantly waiting for something to go wrong and for him to be revealed as a palace servant

Xiaolan, on the other hand, is happy to meet this "jinka" and welcomes him into friendship so easily

They play detective and run ahead and make inside jokes

Idk if i can think of a relationship to compare them too... i just think theyd have a lot of fun going on missions together

I think mao watxhing xiaolan and jinka bonding would definitely sweeten her up to jinshi bc aw he's kind with her lil sister friend :)

I contemplated giving xiaolan wings but didnt :/ i didnt feel like drawing them but maybe she'll get them if i draw her again

Things in my head that count as lore but i didnt mention already, maybe:

-Jinshi is the prince of the night (necessary) working double as a palace servant during the day (same work he does in canon)

-Thinks he does all the stuff luna does, so he's generally pretty tired or youll probably only get a hold of him during the night, but luna is awake during the day sometimes so who really knows

-Maomao is still an apothecary, she is frequently summoned to the palace for detective work bc she got mixed up in some business prior, and they value her help OR she knows gyo and gyo knows she's a bit of a sleuth :3c put in a word for her at the castle

-There is no maolan separation >:( they come as a PAIR!!!!

-no maomao does not know jinshi is the moon prince until she finds out, why? Because girl... i said so...

-uhm <3 yeah <3 love u ty for listening bye byeee

"haunting the narrative" is one of those phrases i wanna put up on a shelf. not all characters that are dead haunt the narrative. not all characters that are dead haunt the narrative. not all characters that haunt the narrative are dead.

@vicktoon as a poney pone!!!

[joocin-thebox]

i posted it everywhere else without the color palette so lets just say i did that intentionally and leave it at that okay?

My goals for Izzy in my rewrite:

i really like izzy and i'm not fully of the opinion that she's a pinkie clone, because where pinkie was chaos, izzy was an airhead

which honestly i could keep! but it depends, otherwise for her i want to address:

difficulty making friends (she's quick to accept misty into the group)

difficulty making CLOSE friends who will match her relationship effort

feeling 'out of place' even in her friend group

might make her an 'this is how i cope' optimist

her strength with magic, and letting her learn different types of spells

learning patience, tact, etc etc

either reaffirming her comfort in being a supporter, or strengthening her leadership skills

family maybe?

her cutiemark story

i'm hoping to flesh out her character much more and give her some things to work on as an individual and as a unicorn :3

also, worth mentioning that i wouldn't mind any suggestions or ideas on what to do with the characters! other headcanons would be so lovely to broaden my idea scope!
