Magical fire. Soul Energy. Or something along those lines. I could guess it may go by many names depending on where you might be from. All the same, this fire or energy, is just another part of myself just manifested into something that you can see!

Dude your mlp redesigns go so hard oh my GOD!! Question: does EQ still exist in your universe? If so, what would it be like?

it's exactly 100% like the show. Weird powers, plot holes, and songs included. But when humans cross into the Skyscraper Gods universe things suddenly get a lot more serious. Magic has consequences, creatures can and will eat you. You can die. You're also a horse or other sentient creature (usually on 4 legs with hooves but some guys are just destined to turn into seaponies when they cross over. get flopped idiot)

EQ is a very silly place and people who cross into the Skyscraper gods verse experience eldritch horror that their little candy colored minds can't comprehend. If you stay too long you are changed forever. You start freaking out when someone falls from the rafters onto the hard gym floor. You look up at the sun (flaming ball of gas in the sky) and wonder if it's watching you, wondering if you squint you can see the giant goddess who fills the sky and ferries the sun across the land.

Your school principle shares the name of God.

"What's your suggestion on stopping a crazy army on your doorstep? I know the poll from over but I thought I should ask some rainbow folks on tumblr first." - Rainbow.

"I've been tracking your world for a little bit now, and I'm getting some strange readings... Why don't I just come over there and help you myself? If it's someone from outside your universe, I can easily help without reprecussions from the Council. Plus, I could also help Twilight!"

Stella: Come to think of it, there’s this game I’m working on based within the universe of the Cyber Formula anime from the human world. I suppose I could have some testers that don’t know anything about racing games, huh? I tried to make the controls intuitive, but the cars are also crazy fast, so I need to check if a “casual” can handle it. Think you’re up for a minimum top speed of 600 km/h?

I mean, most of the TV series cars can’t reach 600, but you get my point. Besides, those ones are less interesting.

(Gad doesn't usually have access to video games, but I'm a little bit obsessed with gamemaking theory myself, and I couldn't help but let a bit of that bleed through. The controller itself should probably canonically belong to Stella or something.)

never a burden

paring: (equestria girls) applejack x fem!reader

tw: pining after each other, gentle flirting, hurt/comfort (reader fails a job application and applejack comforts her), applejack showcases her element of honesty in this, this is pretty much pure fluff

a/n: this is for my underrated girl, Applejack. She deserves more love and fics honestly. Anyways, enjoy!! Do not copy my work | not proofread

‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿

Granny spots you walking up, a funny looking grin making its way on her face as she waves. You lift a hand to wave back, “hey Granny Smith, I-“

“If you’re looking for Applejack she’s out by the barn,” your attention shifts to her figure off in the distance, “Maybe you can help bring her inside to cool off, she’s been working on fixin’ that fence since early this mornin.”

You thank granny, crossing the fields until Applejack was only a few feet away. She hears the crunching of the leaves and finds your figure standing across from her. You lean on nearby fencing, “hey you.”

“heya sugar cube,” she sits back on her calves, “what brings you all the way out here?”

You smile at her sweetly and take joy in her flustered expression. You slide off on teasing any further, explaining that you were picking something up for a friend and wanted to stop by. She wipes at her forehead, “I’m happy you did, it’s always good to see ya.”

Your heart warms at her sweet talk, “do you need any help?”

She shakes her head, going back to hammering nails into the wood. You sit in silence for a minute, watching how peaceful the moment around you was.

“Applejack,” she hums, “do you spend time in the fields?”

“Uh, well I am now. If that’s what you’re asking.”

“I mean, you have all this land, do you use it for more than just work?”

“Back when I was younger, sure I did. But things change.”

You stand straight, “what changed?”

“Granny got older, and so did I. Had to take on the responsibility for this here farm, and I couldn’t be more proud that she’s handed it down to me.”

You’re sure granny would be proud if someone where to point to a random fly and say they were her new pet, but you keep to yourself.

“Speaking of granny, she told me you’ve been out here all morning. Wanted me to come bring you inside so you can cool off.”

“Just after—“

She slows at the feeling of your hand on hers, “please?”

With a roll of her eyes, she’s walking you back to her house. You find yourself in her living room. She had excused herself a few minutes ago, turning and walking into the kitchen.

It seemed like only yesterday you just met the girl, sitting on her couch soaking wet, explaining why come knocking on their door. She had a sense of understanding, but was still very much reserved and confused, wondering why a random had come out to her house in the middle of a thunderstorm.

Her heavy footsteps announce her presence before she turns the corner, glasses in her hands, handing one to you.

“Imma open the windows, it’s hotter than a blister bug in a pepper patch today.”

You stand beside her, watching her tussle about with the window latches. It’s frustrating in how you’re blanking on how to act. You intentionally sought her out, and now that you have what you wanted, your hands are growing sweatier than they already were.

“So tell me, how’d your interview go? I’m so excited to hear,” her smile softens as she notices your body tense at her question. She makes a sympathetic sound, reaching and rubbing your arm.

“I guess I deserve it. They wanted over three years of experience and I’ve never even had a real job.”

“Hey now, don’t start on that nonsense. You have just of a right there as any other. You said they didn’t hire you because of inexperience? Well that’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever—“

You hold onto her hand, “applejack its really alright. I’ll eventually get another interview.”

“I know you and I know how much this mattered to you. You don’t have to be all so positive happy all the time.”

You bite your cheek in hopes the pain would distract you from the tears building. She sighs, “I don’t mean to upset ya, I only am angry at the ones denying you.”

“You aren’t upsetting me. Thank you for listening.”

“Of course, sweet. Ya want a hug, they always make me feel better?”

The tears spill over and she’s cooing at you, moving your drinks onto the table near you. Her arms are already wrapping around you, pulling you near her, a hand patting your back, “go on, cry it all out.”

You laugh softly, going ahead and tightening your hold around her waist, “sorry, I didn’t mean to come over and worry you.”

“Never a burden, you’re always welcome. Let me go fetch some of that pie granny and I made just the other day, that’ll cheer you right up.”

She says, moving quickly into the kitchen. You step behind her, keeping close as she cuts a piece for you.

“Thank you.”

“You’re never a burden, sweetheart. Anytime.”

Huh. I know someone from Norway as well, and honestly, it seems a lot friendlier and a lot more intelligent there than where I’m from, considering what he’s told me… Come to think of it, maybe I’ll show him this blog! I think he’ll like you!

Well I hope your friend likes the blog!

[britt-kageryuu]

It's another Leo stream with his model dressed in his unicorn onesie. Though this time his model is on a pile of pillows with a blanket over his legs and feet. River is sitting in his lap partially under the blanket. Leo is messing around with Animal Crossing Happy Home Paradise. Staging some houses for random villagers.

"Uncle Blue, some people want to know if you like My Little Pony?" River says reading off some of chat.

Leo pauses, and reads over chat to makes sure that's what is being asked.

"Well, yeah. We all watched it, and I sometimes rewatch episodes when things get slow at work." He answered, giving River some skritches on the head. "Though I did skip some episodes, because the story was not the best."

"Do you have any theories? Or any favorite episodes?" River reads off more questions, while leaning into Leo's hand.

"I don't know for sure about favorite episodes, it just depends on the day, and how the episode hits in the moment." Leo answers again, before thinking over something for a minute.

"As for theories, this one is because of you River. I was rewatching The Mane Attraction, and remembered how Svengalop was based on Svengali and how Trilby died from being under hypnosis so much, and couldn't help but think, what if the magic auto-tune was slowly messing up Raras voice!" Leo shouts, he almost throws River off his lap, "It makes alot of sense with the fact that Svengalop didn't really care about her, just what perks he could make the others give him for being her manager!" He stops to take a few breaths, and calm down.

"Basically it wouldn't surprise me if he would not tell Rara that using the auto-tune magic to often would permanently mess up her voice, and just drop her when she loses her ability to sing... I wonder if she could sue him for that if it happened?" Leo pauses again to think this over, then just shakes his head, "Don't want to go down that rabbit hole right now. But I will say if I got turned into a Pony I would most likely be a Pegasus, even though I'd rather be a unicorn."

"Dad would probably be a unicorn, and try to take over with his tech. Maybe he would be subtle about it, maybe not." River adds on. She once again snuggles into Leo's Leo's plastron to get more comfortable.

"Though maybe I should do a series where I go over MLP stuff, and the Equestria Girls things also!" Leo starts getting more excited about this idea, only to be hopped on the head by River.

"Uncle Blue, you need to remember the whole weird copyright stuff when it comes to shows, music, and movies. Dad also says 'No' to the idea, unless it's for a podcast." River says while waving her fan for emphasis.

Leo slumps in the pillows, and huffs out a "Fine." Before continuing the game.

Chat is tossing around different ideas, and theories, while also naming their favorite episodes, and ponies.

Chrysalis: I’m sorry kid, you want me to what?

Silverstream: Well, your highness- Wait, am I allowed to call you ‘your highness’?

Chrysalis: Chrysalis is fine, kid.

Silverstream: Right, I guess that would be kinda weird what with the whole ‘exile’ thing…

Chrysalis: Look, kid, I’m getting arrested here. You mind getting to the point?

Silverstream: Oh, right, yes, I guess you would be in kind of a rush considering your circumstances. Uh, look, I just have this psychology 101 paper that’s due like, eugh, tomorrow and, as you can imagine, psychology’s not really my forte, I’m more into civil engineering and that’s beside the point- Look, you’re manifesto on cross-cultural psychology is revolutionary and, honestly, if it wasn’t for the fact that you’re a wanted terrorist, you’d be one of the biggest faces in the field, so I was wondering if I could leverage you for some…. uncredited help?

Chrysalis: …..

Silverstream: … Please?

Chrysalis: ….. (tearing up) You think my work is revolutionary?

Silverstream: Is that a yes? Cause I can see Flash coming with the paddy wagon.

Diomedes: (mixing an alchemical brew) Hmm, yes, an interesting reaction.

Ocellus: …. Bro, did you just mix oil and water and call it an ‘interesting reaction’?

Diomedes: You?! How did you get here?! How did you find our island?!

Ocellus: I’m smart, and you’re basic.

Diomedes: I am not bas- What do you want?!

Ocellus: Well, I got a chemistry paper due tomorrow and Swift told me you’re apparently a great alchemist but, from what I’ve seen, I already know more than you. I’m out of here.

Diomedes: I’m a great alchemist! I know things! Where are you going?!

Ocellus: To go talk to- Get off me, man- To go talk to Zecora or Twilight or any of the other ten million potion experts in Equestria.

Diomedes: But I know thi-!! Okay, I guess, just… forget I was here. Don’t tell Celestia about us!

[ask-the-cosmic-duo]

Stella, you keep talking about something happening to your magic power, and it's not entirely clear to us what that was; what mysterious or interesting things have happened to your magical potential?

"Hoo boy, how do I explain this...?" Stella thought about it for an entire fifteen seconds, then sighed. "Well, I guess I owe you guys an explanation... But I don't want to reveal everything. There's gotta be something to wonder about, right?"

"So... I'm not normal. Never was. Many ponies call me an enigma, and that's not inaccurate. Not even I fully understand my potential. I think some of that was answered recently though, when I found my newest State, the Origin State."

"... Wait, I probably need to explain those, don't I?" She cleared her throat. "Here in Equestria Cross, by technicality, every living entity that has access to magic has an empowered state called an Overdrive. Not everyone can tap into it, though. It takes immense focus and power to trigger a typical Overdrive. Think super states from Sonic, or the Super Saiyan transformation in Dragon Ball. You power up your magic beyond your normal limits, and can in turn power up the rest of your self using it. But in rare cases, States can come in forms other than a typical Overdrive, like Rainbow Power here in Equestria, or a Super Saiyan God from, again, Dragon Ball."

"I've had five of them. Cosmic is my version of a normal Overdrive, but I've also had four others that are certainly not typical. Abyssal, Entropic, Copycat, and Origin. Unfortunately, I can't access my Abyssal State anymore, since I gave up that power to a successor of sorts, but I still have the others. I think I can talk about the weakest, with a question mark, of the four States I do have..."

"My Copycat State allows me to copy the abilities and attacks of others, assuming I'm there to witness them. However, I can only use them while in the State, as it's what allows me to perform them in the first place using various forms of substitution, such as for the required type of energy. But the State itself doesn't grant much power, not even to the same level as my Cosmic State, so it's only really used to copy others. On the other hoof, the abilities I learn can give me power, so it's not like it's totally useless. In a sense, I guess it's kinda like Kirby.

"What's weird is that I think I've had this ability to copy attacks for a long time, and it's only now manifested in a form I can understand. I've had a few previous lives, and some of those powers somehow carried over to my current one. The only reason I even know that is because of my Origin State, where I've noticed what seems to be a Saiyan appear next to me at times. It's not Goku, or Vegeta, or Gohan, or any of them. If anything, he's wearing that martial arts uniform from the Xenoverse games. Y'know, the one right before the four-star Dragon Ball outfit? It's strange..."

"I'm still not sure I entirely understand what's going on with me. A lot has happened, and I've gone through a bunch of changes, some of which I'm still getting used to. Even now, changes are still occurring, and it can be hard to keep track of. But I'll figure something out, I'm sure. Eventually."

Five facts AU *cracks knuckles*: D&D AU with Alex as one of the adventuring party and Henry as the grandson of the shapeshifter dragon queen

xoxo MJ/kiwiana-writes

ooh, yes please!

The only reason Alex handed over the sword to begin with was because Henry had asked nicely. If he'd known at the time that Henry would later hold it to his throat and tell him that the only way for him to live in this life was for Alex to meet him in the next one, he might have held on to it for a few more hours before he'd parted with it.

When he'd come of age, Henry refused to embrace the scorching fire that was the right and revelry of his royal family line, choosing the impossible task of embracing logic, law, reason and rhetoric over the screaming rage and crushing rage of the monarchs before him in the line. Even now, almost a century later, he still fights to hide the scars on his neck from every swallowed flame.

Alex had bet their first kiss would taste like the cherry spice of spring wine, and Henry had bet him that it would taste like the ember and ash of coal-roasted chestnuts when the first autumn leaves hit the ground. They both lost, sliding Nora a cool twenty gold apiece when their first kiss was a shot of the summer sun with a goblin blood chaser, the carnage of the Battle of Helion still fresh on the ground around them.

Nora has a plan, on the metagame level, to betray the party and kidnap Henry's cunty dragon grandma to sell her to the rebels currently planning a siege of the capital. The party plans a peaceful exchange for hostages, but honestly Nora is tired of the bigoted bullshit Pez has to come up with as their DM. Only June knows of her betrayal. However, Henry does know about her plan to double-cross her betrayal and use the threat of death to barter for even greater stakes. No one knows about her plan to triple-cross them all and slit the old bitches throat herself. Long live rogues, long live Equestria.

No one ever guesses, but the truth of the matter is: it's Henry who brought Alex to the table. Henry, who's love for stories pushes him outside of himself and into the very-much-not-a-math-gay world of character sheets and stat boosts; Henry, who comes home for months with his face practically split in two with joy as he replays for Alex a story of epic proportions, a tale to rival Lord of the Rings with arguably way hotter elves. Henry, who one night drags Alex along when bar trivia is cancelled and, tray of fruity pebble rice krispies in hand, introduces him to a world of heroism, of chivalry and slaying and as many conquerable villains as Pez has the time to throw at them (and the dice have the willingness to help them defeat). So it may be Alex who falls harder, enamored with the ability to now love Henry in a million different lifetimes every other Thursday. But it will always be Henry who fell first.

[Send me a potential AU and I’ll tell you five fun facts that would happen in a story.]

Yo friendo, Happy birthday!!!!!!

*Aurora would like to give everyone in your blog a big huggie*

You wanna hug them? Well, this is my mod blog, but go right ahead! It's a special occasion after all! This'll be reblogged over to the main blog, though.

Stellar giggled and happily hugged back. "Thanks!"

Solar was calmer as he returned the embrace. "Thank you."

Night had a very similar, if not the exact same reaction as Stellar. "Thank you!"

Cinder gave a silent nod as she hugged.

Turner was a little stiff, and didn't hug back. Who knows why that was the case? "Ah... thank you."

Stardust was the only one to refuse outright, and was in fact very against being given a hug. "Don't touch me." She sounded pretty uncomfortable.

Twilight Sparkle, “The Alchemy Pony”

[Image ID: a redesign of Twilight Sparkle from My Little Pony. She’s a cool-toned purple unicorn with a curly dark purple mane and tail, filled with multicolored streaks of blue, yellow, and pink. Her eyes are pupil-less, pale blue, and glittery. She has a blue star shaped mark on her snout, and her horn fades to glittery blue at the tip. Her mane is pulled into a messy ponytail and split as frizzy bangs in front of her face. She wears a pair of glasses on her snout, a blue shoulder cape with a golden star shaped pin, and four pairs of purple shoes with baggy grey socks. Her cutie mark has been changed to a partially eclipsed moon obscured by sunset-lit clouds. End ID]

When Twilight was much too young to remember anything, she was discovered abandoned by Queen Solaria. Solaria took Twilight in and raised her, and when Twilight showed great aptitude for alchemy, she was enrolled in the Royal Canterlot Academy and became the personal protégé of the queen. Now that she’s graduated, Twilight travels Equestria carrying out research in hopes of discovering the mysteries of lost magic. With her always is her faithful companion Spike, a tiny evil dragon who is so ineffectual at being evil that Twilight has never even noticed that he’s evil at all.

Twilight’s appellation, “The Alchemy Pony,” grants her the ability to subtly interface with the four elements of earth, water, wind, and air without using spell components. Her powers make her uniquely attuned to alchemy, and along with her eidetic memory and great passion for knowledge, make her an excellent magical scientist. And to that end, Twilight is a bit of a mad scientist, constantly experimenting and following crazy new hypotheses wherever they take her. She has a bad habit of being out of touch with the feelings of those around her, which sometimes means she dominates a conversation by infodumping about alchemical sigils, and sometimes means she might experiment on people without asking permission first. Twilight is easily excitable, passionate to a fault, and curious about the world and her place in it.

Twilight’s true identity, of course, is none other than the reincarnation of Queen Selenia herself! Released from her prison on the moon, she fell back to earth as a foal, having entirely forgotten who she is or where she came from. Solaria, fearing her sister would once again rise to try and usurp her, raised Twilight to be her apprentice to try and keep an eye on her, and to be a better sister the second time around.

Bonus little evil dragon baby :)

[Image ID: a digital sketch of a redesign of Spike from My Little Pony. His new design resembles a cross between a japanese dragon, with hair and horns, and a gecko. in the sketch, he floats in mid-air and grins mischievously. There’s a second smaller sketch of him in a simplified style, looking angery. End ID]
