MLP: Chaos is Magic part 2 (part 1 here)

TL;DR: Gee Shadow, how come Sega/Tumblr user PilloTalkin lets you have two dads???

Answer under the cut..!

Equestria has long endured tensions with the umbrum, and though violence has largely been avoided, the situation has become untenable. In a bid for peace, King Eclipse (Gerald Robotnik) proposes something to the ruler of the umbrum, King Comet (Black Doom). They will use magic to create a half-pony half-umbrum child- their own spawn- who will serve as the liaison between their peoples and represent the hope for lasting unity between their kingdoms. King Comet agrees to this, and Prince Midnight Star is born.

The two rulers spend much time together raising their son and improving their kingdoms' relations. King Comet even begins wearing jewelry bearing the symbols of the Equestrian royal family (the eclipse, stars, moons). All seems to be going well, and an era of peace seems to at last have been heralded across the land. But it wasn't to last.

Soon after the true extent of Midnight Star's magical prowess makes itself known, the palace suddenly finds itself under siege from the umbrum army. King Comet wishes to take his son and use him as a weapon to conquer all of the world, all strides towards peace and harmony eschewed in favor of greed and lust for power. In the struggle to protect the prince, many are killed, with the final casualty being Princess Fragile Dawn. Face to face with the king of the umbrum, the young princess refused to back down, standing bodily between father and son and protecting her brother with all her might.

It wasn't enough.

The moment her body fell to the ground, a piercing cry filled the stagnant air, and a burst of magic so strong and bright it was seen across Equestria consumed the entire castle. Once the light faded and the dust settled, each and every umbrum within the palace was dead, including their king. When the guard and King Eclipse entered the throne room, they found the prince laying protectively over his sister's body, his horn shattered, his face wet with tears, and his head resting on her silent chest.

I got carried away while doodling and made an entire Sonic My Little Pony AU...! (My Little Hedgehogs? MLP: Chaos is Magic?)

Story under the cut!

Sonic Speeds (Sonic) is a royal knight in training under Prince Brilliant Mind (Eggman), who serves as the captain of the guard because his underdeveloped horn made his magic too weak to handle the celestial duties of the royal family. Sonic Speeds's cocky attitude and foolhardiness has held him back from achieving his dream of being an elite guard despite his physical prowess, so he's desperate to prove himself to his mentor, by any means necessary. Eternal Night (Shadow) is the runaway half-umbrum prince of Equestria. He's on a quest for revenge after the death of his elder sister, Princess Fragile Dawn (Maria Robotnik), at the hands of his umbrum father, King Comet (Black Doom). His true name is Midnight Star, but he adopted a new moniker on his travels, as a way of hiding his identity and also to represent what he intends to bring upon the umbrum for taking his best friend from him. Brilliant Mind, who blames Midnight Star for Fragile Dawn's death and resents him for his great magical talent, sends Sonic Speeds on a near-hopeless quest to bring back his lost brother so justice can be served (and his own revenge for being outshone can be had). Through some miracle, Sonic Speeds actually manages to find him, and as he travels alongside the somber prince, attempting to convince him to give up his quest for revenge and go home (since attempting to force him to go would be... unadvisable), their relationship grows. He begins to doubt his mentor's convictions, but his sense of duty compels him still, and the day comes when he manages to persuade Midnight Star to return to the palace with him, unaware of what lies in wait...

I've got some more thoughts on Midnight Star's origins and the underlying history surrounding this series of events, but I'll save that for another post hehe. Stay tuned!

Free Time Event 3: Tea Party 🫖

Commission for @sushihara!

Happy Saiou Day everyone!!!

[pillotalkin]

It's Pokemon Day, so I'm finally getting around to posting this PokeExchange 2023 (@secretstantler) piece I did for Flufferdoodle (AO3) on here as well!

The prompt was about Maylene trying to tough out the Snowpoint City cold like Candice can, even though she Really Really can't... After reading that, I wondered if Candice might carry that jacket around her waist around for something other than fashion, and this comic is what came out!

I designed a very self-indulgent TadaAi keychain and it serendipitously arrived just in time for Tadashi's birthday! Happy Birthday Snake (although the present is for me)!!! This was my first time trying out wooden charms, and they came out beautifully vibrant! The wood texture suits the design well too, so I couldn't be happier ❤️

((I mostly made this for myself so there are only 2 extras, but if you're interested in buying one of them, shoot me a message!))

[pillotalkin]

Mockup for a linked charm I'm getting printed soon! I'm planning to get a few extras that will be available for purchase, so I made a google form to gauge interest and see roughly how many I should order- if you're interested, please do fill it out asap, I'm trying to get these to me before Halloween! (Link below)

Happy (belated) Birthday to the shiniest of them all, Mari Ohara!!!!! Her birthday may have been (exactly) one month ago, but it's never too late to celebrate ･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[pillotalkin]

Happy Birthday to the one, the only, MISS NOZOMI TOJO!!!!!!!

Now that the zine has been released, it’s time for me to post my full piece for @fandomfastfoods​ !!!

The idea for this piece came from Bridget skating on her yoyo in her entrance animation: paired with the theme of fast food, it immediately made me think of roller diners, so I took that idea and ran with it! I had a fun time adapting her strive outfit into a diner waitress uniform, but I’m also a big fan of Chef Roger (and the Roger-themed milkshake- a Guilty Diner special alongside their brisket!)

If you liked this piece and/or want to see more amazing fast-food themed fanart, fanfic, recipes, and more, links to download the zine and its merch (for free!) can be found here: Check it out!!

[pillotalkin]

Release day is fast approaching, so it’s time for me to reveal a preview of my piece for “Order Up!”, a multifandom zine themed around fast food! It’s chock full of amazing art, writing, merch, and recipes, and it’s free and digital, so be sure to check @fandomfastfoods​ (or the carrd) for details and download it once it’s out!!!
