A WHILE ago I redesigned twilight sparkle. I’ve now grown as an artist (also recently rewatched all of mlp fim) and idk. I wanted to try my hand at it again. Also! I have sketches of redesigns for the main six so I might do others.
Also, also the lava lamp hooves and horn and kinda my special like unicorn/ Pegasus magic holding thing? I might describe in a later post who knows.
Seeing footage of the aftermath of the flour massacre in Gaza is so painful
"Where is my daughter? Tell her I don't want flour anymore"
"My brother was shot holding a bag of flour. He kept holding on to it so they kept shooting him"
"Why does flour have to be stained with blood?"
Over 100 have been killed. Every single one of them hungry. Every single one of them has someone waiting for them to come back with the bag of flour.
Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war against innocent civilians. Israel ambushes starving Palestinians and shoots them. Israel is not fighting a war to defend itself. This is another episode of Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza.
I am so fucking scared. I feel that... you know it's not about death. I'm not so scared of death. I'm so scared of being displaced. I want to go back to my home--and I'm so near, by the way... Gaza is so small. But I can't go there because the Gaza Strip is cut into pieces, and vehicles and tanks are in the borders between these pieces so I just can't go anywhere inside my homeland. My place. And... it's unacceptable. It's unimaginable. You know I have never imagined before that one day someone would just grab me from my... my homeland. My place. And just throw me away and prevent me to come back.
By the way, we don't know if we could go back. If we could go back again. Ever. And I'm so scared that they could displace us from Gaza Strip to the desert. [Bisan's voice breaks, she breaks into tears] We will die in the desert because of hunger. They displaced us to Egypt. To the north of Egypt, to Sanari desert. People just die. We will die.
[Sob] I don't know why do you guys are watching without doing anything to end this. Just in the... just stop it. Just stop it. Stop it in any price, stop it in any cost. Just stop it for anything. Just stop this. It's a nightmare. I can't continue just thinking about the displacement more and more. It's a nightmare. And I can't-- I can't keep it alive while thinking of being displaced more and more.
I just wanna go back to my home.

Good morning. This might be my last message from the city of Rafah. The occupation [Israel] is carrying out crazy fire. Violent belts. As you’re hearing, there are helicopters. Planes and gunfire from the vehicles. There’s a complete invasion of the city.
We don’t know what is going on in Rafah. The place that the occupation [Israel] claimed to be safe. This is happening all of a sudden; the people didn’t go out. They didn’t do anything. More than thirty targets were hit in just minutes. People were asleep. We woke up to the bombing, to the shooting from the helicopters. It was horrifying. Unacceptable.
This might be my last message. Please relay it to the world.

Rafah was Palestinians’ very last safe zone. There is quite literally nowhere else left to go. And now it’s being bombed with airstrike after airstrike.
This was made right after I saw the jokey answer about prince Hubble on @skyscrapergods blog, and before the stuff about boabab got proposed, so it’s really space themed lol. I didn’t post it until now, cause yeah, but I wanted to share the art. And all the cool ideas about the different gods of this really cool au/world makes me want to draw them too. Idk

Breaking: The Israeli military killed journalist Nermine Haboush, along with her child and mother, in a missile strike on their home in #Gaza City ! [@/ NourNaim88 on X.]
The IOF killed another journalist. Her name is Nermine Haboush, and above is a picture of her -may Nermine rest in peace and power.
The IOF has committed heinous war crime after war crimes, crime against humanity after crime against humanity; mass targeting of 'safe' havens like hospitals, schools, refugee camps, and places of worship. They have been and continue to terrorize Palestinian people. And for anyone 'celebrating,' New Years tonight I hope you take a moment -or a bit longer to press pause about what is happening in the world right now -and what has been happening in Gaza, because it's the least you can do. This is just absolutely despicable.

Palestinian humanitarian worker Awni Farhat returned home to occupied Gaza to support children through their trauma amid Israel's deadly assault.

I love them, they give off fighting sibling vibes lol (flowey and clover)
Spoilers for true pacifist under the cut :)
This is inspired by your comic Snail, sooooo….
Anyways, the lyrics that Flowey is singing is from the song Rider’s Lullaby from the show centaur world (I’d also check out Rider’s Lullaby(Reprise) to get extra hurt)
