Hello, hopefully there is an audience for this

[nightskiespony]

ditzy hacking a website or something

my girl is working for SSU :ззз

[nightskiespony]

new OC, her name is Rune-8. Part of some mlpfim AU stuff about ancient cosmic empires, cloning, and terraforming. She's about the same height as the CMC despite being an adult.

image text: Vat grown pilot a space-faring empire in the distant past. Her ship was destroyed over what would one day be known as Equestria, forcing her to land on the future site of Ponyville. Left to die as the empire fell. Survived untold millennia in the pod's cryogenic stasis. Discovered in a cave by Maud.

Struggling to adapt to the society she finds herself in.

more info, some sketches, and more thoughts under the read more.

please ignore the spelling errors i was high and very sleep deprived when i made this and i do not have the wherewithal to go back and fix them.

basically they're a grown to order clone that was widely used in her society for dangerous or menial work. the template she was grown from is the 'Rune' model pilot. a budget option with the bare minimum implants, optimised for living in low or zero gravity for extended periods. She was loaded with some basic ship maintenance and engineering databases after she was grown, cheap ones, so that the company responsible for the ship she was on could cut costs by not paying for any dedicated engineers. she was the 8th of a crew of 12, and the only survivor when her ship was destroyed in orbit over Equestria.

Their escape pod landed long ago enough that it was submerged in many layers of sediment, lost like a fossil in the cave system below Ponyville.

She clings to Maud, as the first friendly face she met in this strange new world.

Her eyes are cybernetic implants, but she was grown without eyes, and had these implanted before she ever became conscious. They contain hardware that let her wirelessly interface with their ship's computers, and provide her with access to a simple HUD, her personal database, and when in range with a wireless network she can connect and access whatever is stored there.

She is inspired by a Hyracotherium, the prehistoric ancestor of the modern horse, as well as the protagonist from the Murderbot Diaries.

Her body is best suited to low or zero gravity, designed for only temporary stints on planetary gravity. Thus she finds it very difficult and physically taxing to live on the surface of a planet. She is undergoing physical therapy at Ponyville Hospital to try and build up her muscle mass so that she can achieve a better quality of life in the world she is forever stranded in.

Will eventually go on to find a calling designing new and innovative airships, revolutionising public transport in Equestria and it's neighbours.

Vat grown creatures like her are typically genderless, but after some time in Equestria she found herself strangely drawn to mares and femininity. They don't feel the need to label themself particularly, especially in a society that tries as hard as it can to welcome to all identities, but she's something like a trans mare. Prefers she, but is also comfortable with they.

gay little prehistoric horse idk.

I know I just posted a YCH, but would anyone be interested if I opened up commissions in a style like this? They're incredibly fun to draw and I'd love to make more! Thinking about $15 a piece if I did, and would of course do other poses at request.

[nightskiespony]

Concentrated pony magic in your hand! =3 Actual first I thought to draw Lyra cuz this is “her theme” but Rouz really looks better in this place by my opinion^^

Bigger Size

A bit short on bills, need commissions

So I’m using the last of my unemployment money to pay rent and I’ve come up a bit short, Patreon owes me some money but they’ll take a bit to process it for me. I’d say I’m about 300 dollars short on bills in general including rent, rent being $1,375 (believe it or not this was the cheapest place we could find and it’s a tiny one bedroom) and electric bill being around 100, and the storage fee for the rest of our stuff is about 80.

On top of that, my recording microphone that I use for Doctor Whooves and Assistant had a hardware failure and it’s not recording the way it’s supposed to any more, it was over 5 years old so it’s had a good run but I need to find a replacement ASAP so I can finish recording my lines. I can dip in to business expenses for it and write it off on my taxes but it would be nice to make up for it through commissions.

Finally, I’m still going to just need some money in a more general sense after paying bills in order to deal with whatever comes up next, I don’t know how long it’s going to take to find a job.

I was happy that I was almost finished with my commission queue but that just wasn’t meant to last, I’m having trouble finding a job and this is the only other way I can get by. My commission info is here: https://jitterbugjive.tumblr.com/post/171478773489/forgive-the-balddumborat-title-thats-my-fa

Otherwise, people are welcome to donate if they want, it puts less work on me. You can find my donation button on @lovestruck-derpy‘s page, or use my kofi here https://ko-fi.com/jitterbugjive

If you can’t afford to help that’s understandable, a lot of people are struggling right now, but if you could reblog this to spread the word that would also help.

There were a number of temporally relevant messages in the movie... I find this amusing and encouraging.
