people are absolutely EVIL about the boundaries of “picky eaters”. no, they do not have to try it. yes, they can know they don’t like it without having eaten it before. no, they probably have not suddenly grown a taste for the food they’ve said they hate. no, they probably are not going to like it in the Special Way This One Place Cooks It. yes, you are being a bad friend if you try to “trick” them into eating it anyway

Wow...I seriously never posted this??? Man I thought I did, how bizarre.

Anyway I drafted up lore dumps for both Peaches and Mandy, for my Odd Squad x MLP crossover series The Adventures of Peaches and Mandy (abbreviated as TAoPaM). Working on other lore dumps for other characters as well, but these two are my pride-n-joy OCs and I love them to bits.

Olive and Otto moments! get alicorned, idiots

i think that alicorn wings can match a pony's cutie mark, as a treat. also Olive's design is my favorite out of these two i think, i really like how her wings came out

just spent at least fifteen minutes editing this that i was supposed to spend studying. worth it though

omg i like your rendition of pony osmu more than mine lol.

here's a thought: in "train of thoughts" mlp version, Opal and Omar fly down to the train and Orla asks "how do we get down there?" and Oswald goes "uh hello, unicorn literally right next to you?" and floats himself and Orla down with his telekinesis

Holy damn does that fit Oswald well. I can definitely see him doing that!

OH WAIT I ACTUALLY HAVE HEADCANONS FOR THESE oh man I gotta dust 'em off less'see

- Opal: Pegasus. Has a love for adventure that would go perfect with flying.

- Omar: Pegasus, just for the fact that he loves traveling the world and collecting souvenirs. Again, perfect for flying.

- Orla: Earth pony. She's got massive physical strength, is able to live in the harsh Amazon rainforest with no water, and has incredible stamina, which matches with earth ponies' skills.

- Oswald: Unicorn, for the reasons already stated because oh damn him practicing spells in spellbooks would 100% fit him. Has an absolute shitload of defensive spells to protect himself and/or others from harm, but is working on adding offensive ones to his arsenal and will not hesitate to beat your ass with them.

- Osmerelda Kim: Unicorn. She's a Renaissance agent, so she's skilled in a vast variety of things. She uses basic spells, but often uses them in unconventional ways to solve issues ("thinking outside the box").

- Oprah/Big O: By this point, she's an alicorn with the same design as Celestia. (As a Director, she had the same body shape as that of Twilight.) Her mane and tail are ethereal, but she keeps both of them in tight buns, so they don't flow. Maybe at like...one point, she lets them loose and they flow, and everyone goes nuts over it.

- Orpita/Little O: Starts out as a unicorn, then becomes an alicorn with a body shape similar to Luna or Cadence when she's named Oprah's number two. Due to her time as a Spec Ops agent, she is stealthy (stealth teleportation peak, never mid) and is a complete master of the invisibility spell, though as an Odd Squad Academy student she was a weak magic user due to her constant slacking. (A lot of her spells caused explosions.) Her spell arsenal still isn't all too impressive, but she's steadily improving.

Yeah yeah this deviates from Ravi's AU but I got a FiMFic account and I'm not afraid to use it so bite me God.

What I think OSMU would be in the mlp AU:

Opal: pegasus. Longs to leave the Arctic to find somewhere warmer where she can fly.

Omar: earth pony. Doesn't understand Opal completely, but he agrees with her other reasons and he wants to see the world so there's that.

Oswald: unicorn. Mostly uses his telekinesis for sorting stuff in his job as a library-museum pony, but has been tempted to try out stuff in old spellbooks every so often.

Orla: dunno atm. was very young when the event celebrated on Hearth's Warming Eve occured. Still guards the 44-leaf clover.

Oprah/the Big O is still here and looks WAY more regal than when we last saw her(s2 finale). Like our main 4 are astounded by it when they first see her.

Veering off the OSMU track, I think Olive is protective of Otto, as in canon, but it gets extreme sometimes. Blank flank insult from Oren? She will yeet him across the room with her telekinesis. It takes a lot out of her to lift a whole pony tho. Aside from the fact that Ms. O is an alicorn who could easily overpower her if she tried that, that's why she opted for a stunpulse during "Ms. O Uh-Oh".

Also I wonder if there's some sort of ritual that Directors go through to turn their successors into alicorns. T'would be interesting!

yeah! so i never really got around to watching osmu beyond the few episodes i managed to catch on pbs kids but i know some things and yeah this seems pretty accurate, might have to steal from this haha

anyways yeah mlp Olive is so funny to me, she's pretty good at magic and all that but she's also still into sports and athletic stuff which most don't really expect from a unicorn so sometimes she'll pull stuff like letting someone think she's going to fight them with magic and then opting to kick them across the room horse style or something. Ms. O does stuff like this as well since she was an earth pony first before becoming an alicorn and she has the earth pony strength and resilience and everything. she has a full grip on her alicorn abilities because she's been one for a long while now but she still does stuff like kick holes in walls just because. you do not want to end up in a fight with either of them they have both magic and physical strength and you WILL lose.

and about the alicorn bit i've actually been plotting out some of the alicorn stuff and you got it pretty close with the ritual thing actually! in my mind when a director has to step down or leave for whatever reason they either have to hand off their alicorndom to their successor themselves or they have it revoked by someone else and passed on for them if that makes sense. it's just so that there aren't any random alicorn civilians out there or anything lol. because in my mind at least director level alicorns aren't technically royal alicorns (if they are they're very low ranking) they just have alicorn powers and leader status. however the Big O position does come with royal alicorn status, with their sorta domain being the whole organization since it's all across equestria and everything. so yeah you pretty much got it spot on with the whole idea of Big O Oprah being more regal and powerful looking because she's technically a princess now! she's very small compared to the other princesses but she's a princess nonetheless :)

​i also have some silly facts about alicorn Olive and Otto in particular that i might share later if i feel like it but i don't know if i should wait until i've drawn them or not sdhfjh

Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but

Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?

Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.
