as an aspiring artist myself, supporting other small artists has got to be the most beautiful, heartwarming thing ever 🩷🥹

i stumbled upon an artist who focuses on G1 (@/bunnyribbon_ on Instagram) who is coming to a local artist convention I'm going to in a weeks time and when I tell you my heart SOARED!!! the fact there's artists doing what they love, focusing on media they love! brings me so much fucking joy. I cannot wait to see them at the convention and all of their beautiful art in its fullest glory. I cannot wait to support them and the other artists!!!!

I LOVE ARTISTS!!!! I LOVE THE ARTIST COMMUNITY!!!! I love seeing amazing work and I hope that one day I can be a part of it too. if you're an artist please give yourself a pat on the back for me because you're doing AMAZING!!!!!

And a little art rant! Due to some side effects from medication, I have permanently shaky hands. As you can imagine this can make it difficult to do art especially considering I am a perfectionist! So this drawing was a particular challenge - it was about accepting that sometimes you're gonna have wonky lines and that's okay!

genuinely nothing makes me more emotional than seeing the creativity in My Little Pony toys die.

g1 was honestly incredible, there was so much love and so much creativity put into those toys. there wasn't just the standard unicorn, pegasus and earth pony no- there were princesses, various types of baby ponies, flutter ponies, sea ponies. and that's just the types of ponies there were SO many gimmicks, talking ponies, ponies with secret compartments, ponies with lipstick, ponies that tails moved (seriously that is so fucking cute) there was so much variety and CLEARLY they were made to last because they're still standing 40 years later.

sure hasbro kept up the gimmicks with other generations and even kept varieties of ponies for example the breezies in G3 but god. G5. the toys make me so sad man. i see them every time I go to the supermarket and they're so cheaply made, they all have the same face and there's no personality at all.

my little pony really lost the magic and it's devasting.

the curious case of teddy and sweetheart 🧸🩷

teddy and sweetheart are an interesting couple in my little pony tales, i see some people say they are a toxic couple and other's say they're sweet.

teddy is depicted as a bully and often is the antagonist to the main 7 ponies of my little pony tales, but he's also shown to have a much sweeter side and sleeps with his teddy bear every night (a secret only sweetheart knows about) I think teddy as a character is so interesting! there's speculation in the fandom regarding his parents, as only his mother is ever heard, and theories on whether his behavior results from an absent father.

sweetheart is well, a complete sweetheart. she has a crush on teddy and is referred to as teddy's girlfriend in Blue Ribbon Blues. she sees the best in him and knows that he often acts out (and also isn't afraid to tell him he's being wrong) but believes his acting out is just that, acting out. the song she sung about him in Stand By Me explains it well the others simply just don't know him like she knows him.

i think teddy and sweetheart are a perfect couple, sweetheart doesn't make teddy better she makes him want to be better. i really do think teddy has underlying issues that were never explored in the show that make him act the other way - but regardless im glad that he has sweetheart to love and support him.

i think it's super interesting that my little pony tales had such a complex male character when male characters barely existed (with the exception of Danny and Spike) in generation 1 and even in friendship is magic the male characters are mostly just used to fuel the female characters story arcs - not as a stand alone complex character like teddy is.

Little Starglow Ponies: the magic of the My Little Pony custom community 🌈

Did you know they're making new My Little Ponies in the style of generation 1? Well, not Hasbro but-

they are HQG1C (High Quality Generation 1 Custom) ponies that are manufactured in factories in very similar conditions to the original G1 ponies!! you can buy custom ponies, blank ponies (for your customizing pleasure!), rehairing and tools!! i think it's so so amazing and they're doing gods work with this project!! check them out here

here are some of my favorites of their designs 🩷

oh and they resell vintage g1 ponies for really good prices!!!

this site proves how incredible the community for my little pony is, it's filled with so many talented individuals who use their creativity to bring joy to others and it's, really really beautiful to see 🥹

Songs I love in My Little Pony G1 🌈

How Does My Garden Grow? : sung by Posey, such a gorgeous song about my little pony's favorite plant mum!!! She loves those plants more than life itself and cares for them oh so so much 🌷

All Wrong - All Right : sung by Baby Shady and Mollie, a sweet comforting song about how nobody is perfect and it's okay if Shady makes a few mistakes here and there and is a little bit clumsy. I love the two of them so much in this song they're so sweet and make me realize I don't have to be perfect either! I'm still all right :)

I'll Go It Alone : sung by Baby Lickety-Split and Spike, if you haven't already I highly suggest you watch the video for the song! The song is very cute but Baby Lickety is goofy (in the best way possible!)

We're Not Gonna Freeze : sung by Galaxy, ooh the amount of determination with this song !!! She's so courageous and inspiring, it's no wonder Surprise was able to cross the frozen rainbow to go get Megan! I love Galaxy so much.

Being Somebody Else : sung by Fizzy, Windwhistler, Gusty and Shady, this song is just super fun!!! It's very cool to see the ponies with their personalities reversed (especially seeing Windwhistler different!) it's the type of song that just fills me with glee and makes me smile!

Those Newborn Twins : sung by the First Tooth Baby Ponies and Spike, silly little song where they are being FAR too mean to those poor little newborn twins (but it's okay because they save them in the end) I just think the First Tooth Ponies are so so cute ESPECIALLY QUACKERS!!!! Her little quack is so adorable!!!!
