I am letting Moonblessed Wally take over my Twitter account rn (which was @azraelcreates idea) so here's some silly pics I've made since yesterday, more coming soon
He doesn't know how modern phones work...
Also first time drawing the two moons in the world of the Moonblessed AU! So silly!
Welcome Home, but Every Neighbor is embodying MLP Creepypasta/Horror Story, lol
YES THIS WAS ENTIRELY INSPIRED BY THE RAINBOW FACTORY AU (made by @dodozoi ) AND THE CUPCAKES AU (made by @azraelcreates )! I just love them so much omg- I saw them, then my thought was like "Okay, but what if each neighbor was based on a separate MLP Creepypasta/Horror Story? Welcome Home seems to mesh well with MLP horror fiction." I couldn't find a Welcome Home AU like this, so here's my idea!
So, like, here some examples:
Poppy loves baking, so, it makes sense that she would be Cupcakes. Her personality would basically be Poppy, BUT she's hiding the true secret of what is in her baked goods. The neighbors that do help don't see her sneak in the secret ingredient when they aren't looking, or don't realize that an ingredient may not be what it's labeled.
Julie is a rainbow monster, so she would be Rainbow Factory. Sure, she may or may not actually have/work at a rainbow factory (still ironing out the details), but she is still using gruesome means to make rainbows for whatever reason she needs them. Her sister's may or may not be in on the business, too.
Wally might be based on The Candy Mare. If I do have him based on that story, he'd take the role of... Well... The Candy Mare! He'd be entirely made of various sweets, intending to eat random people who wander into the neighborhood. He'd be great at hiding his candy features, however, often using extreme measures to do so. From potions made by one of the other neighbors, to makeup (most likely also made by sweets, in order not to irritate his candy skin), to whatever he can manage. He wants his victims to be calm until the very end. Home would most likely be a gingerbread house.
Best part about this AU, in my opinion?: None of the neighbors are going to be aware of the other neighbors having these disturbing tendencies. Nobody going to know what Poppy's got going on but Poppy. Nobody is going to know that Julie uses unethical practices to make rainbows but Julie (and maybe her sisters). Nobody is going to know that Wally is a being made of candy that is eating people and that Home is actually a gingerbread house and NOT an oddly decorated house other than Home and Wally.
Other ideas I have are Eddie being An Apple Sleep Experiment and an alternative version of Wally revolving around The Cough. But I will get to those when I get to them! I'm most likely going to base their designs around the human designs for the Welcome Home characters, as well. Why? Because I like drawing them! OwO
