I decided to hop on the trend where you redraw that one My Little Pony The Movie coloring page with redesigns, but instead of redesigning the mane six plus Spike, I recolored/redesigned them as G3 ponies! I got the ponies by hitting the “random page” button on the G3 wiki until I got a page that wasn’t a nonpony. Can you recognize any? Descriptions under the cut!

From left to right:

Pinkie Pie has been redesigned as Chocolate Chipper, a pony released with a chocolate chip cookie scent and a cute baker’s hat. She has no animated appearances.

Fluttershy has been redesigned as Shell-Belle, one of the Butterfly Island Shimmer Ponies, released with glittery manes. She has no animated appearances.

Rainbow Dash has been redesigned as Cloud Climber, whose only animated appearance is in A Very Minty Christmas, though she plays a prominent role within.

Spike has been redesigned as Pink Sunsparkle, one of the hardest to find baby ponies of G3 as she was never released as a standalone, only with the Celebration Castle playset and a Target exclusive 3-pack with Fluttershy and Toola-Roola.

Rarity has been redesigned as Skywishes, a very prominent pony in two of the early G3 animated features, Dancing In The Clouds being her more known role and Friends Are Never Far Away.

Twilight Sparkle has been redesigned as Sew-And-Sew, whose first media appearance was in the TV-Plug-And-Play game Puzzlemint's Grand Puzzleventure, followed by a more prominent role in the live show The World’s Biggest Tea Party.

Applejack has been redesigned as Spring Breeze, another hard pony to find as she was only released as part of the 2005 Spring Basket, a pack of three ponies and a plastic basket intended for Easter egg hunts. She has no animated appearances.

I can’t even...(part 4)

Time for part 4 of my haul posts.My desk is full of ponies and it doesn’t seem to end. I have to pick up at least 6 more parcels on tuesday!

Another amazing lot for just €3! I love G2 Magic Star Swirl :-)

This lot I got for €16. I finally have an upgrade for Curly ^^

And another Wednesday Afternoon Bride! So lucky! Got all of them for €9 :-)

Aaand this lot I got for €3.5!! I cannot believe people sell these for so little money.

I paid a whopping €5.5 for these lovely G2′s! And again: Bride!

And then I got the butterfly island playset for €15. I don’t really care about the set, I was interested in the ponies that came with it ;-)

[yodawgiheardyoulikeponies]

I had a photoset request to see some of my fav ponies in my least favorite playsets!

G3 Butterfly Island- I actually don’t hate this playset, I just hate the fact that it’s so big that it takes up a whole shelf and spills out into the floor, precious space I can be using for more ponies!

G4 School of Friendship- there’s nowhere to actually play in the playset! It has like no floor! The scroll eats up all the space!

G4 Wedding Castle- I like the gold accents and exclusive ponies, but if you breathe on this set it falls over.

G4 Rainbow Kingdom- Same as wedding castle, tacky and very fragile.

Home for the Holidays: Bonus “CIWYW” Story (Trans!Steve and Pan!Bucky Modern AU)

Four:

Not used to sleeping on the comfy velvet sleeper sectional for more than a couple of hours, and being plain too excited, Steve tossed and turned in his spot. Of course, that probably had something to do with Bucky sleeping beside him with Sam on the other side, too. And, sure, it wasn't like they were going to do anything, but just being next to Bucky caused Steve's stomach to fill with unruly butterflies.

In Steve's excitement and fatigue, he decided that maybe looking at Bucky might help solidify that he was actually there. That they weren't divided by a screen. That if he wanted to, he could just reach out and touch Bucky.

So, Steve opened his eyes. Expecting the first thing he saw to be Bucky. However, he found Sam, still on his side while Bucky's spot was empty.

Brows furrowed, Steve rubbed at his eyes. Surely, he was just imagining things. Only, when he opened them again, he saw the same thing as the first time he opened them. Which wasn't Bucky.

Confused, Steve sat up and glanced around the rec room. Mandy and Becca snoozed on their own giant bean bags. In the middle of the room, on an air mattress, Eddie slept in his Olaf sleeping bag next to Tibby in her TMNT sleeping bag. On top of the youngest members of the Barnes and Rogers families, the kittens peacefully slept.

Quietly climbing out of his spot, Steve looked over at the play area where Eddie's play kitchen and where the air hokey table was. Still no Bucky.

Stretching, Steve took a moment before maneuvering around the sleeping bodies and checked his charging cellphone. It was going on two in the morning. Silently, Steve set his phone back on the entertainment center, affectionately petted Meatloaf who was curled up on the oversized bean bag with Mandy.

On a search for Bucky, Steve headed down the stairs and entered the kitchen. Deciding to get a glass of water to hopefully get rid of his dry mouth. Taking a drink from the glass, Steve noticed that the tree in the living room was on. Typically, Sarah made sure to turn the lights off before going to bed.

Setting his glass down on the counter, Steve walked around the island towards the living room. The closer he got, Steve finally spotted Bucky. There, underneath the tree, Bucky laid. He had carefully moved the gifts, so he could rest his head on the tree skirt. Ankles crossed, he just laid there.

For a moment, Steve paused. Debating whether he should approach or not. After all, Bucky had snuck down there in the middle of the night while everyone else slept simply to lay under a tree. However, Steve had spent months with not being able to approach Bucky in person, and he refused to waste any time holding back now.

So, Steve lightly knocked on the archway to the room, just so Bucky knew that he was there. At that, Bucky moved so he could look over to where Steve stood.

"Whatcha doin'?" Steve whispered crossing the room.

In silent reply, Bucky simply waved Steve over. Patting the spot beside him, he moved over to create more room for Steve. And Steve sat down on the hardwood floor because he wanted to be close to Bucky. Reclining back, Steve laid under the tree and looked up through the fake branches and how beautiful the lights were.

"It's beautiful," Bucky quietly echoed Steve's thoughts.

"Yeah," Steve agreed. Turning his gaze from the tree, to Bucky, Steve assumed, "Couldn't sleep?"

"Nah," Bucky confirmed, and admitted, "Kinda nervous."

Steve's brows furrowed, "How come?"

“I’ve never been ice skating before,” Bucky winced at his own confession, then mocked himself, "I mean, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m not exactly the most graceful.”

Not meaning to, Steve giggled. Bucky looked over at him then. Steve reached up and covered his own mouth to stop his giggles. It was probably because his nerves were all over the place and he was sleep deprived, but he couldn't help it. Only removing his hand once he thought that the laughter subsided enough.

Biting back a grin, Bucky was debating something. Luckily for Steve, before he could overthink it, Bucky leaned in and sweetly kissed him. Steve was positive that this would be the best Christmas of his life. Even if the kiss did end too soon for Steve's liking.

"Is Christmas always like this?" Bucky asked, rolling onto his side to face Steve. "We've only ever celebrated Kwanznukkah."

"Kwanznukkah?" Steve repeated, rolling over to face Bucky as well. Bucky nodded his confirmation, and Steve answered his question in return, "I don't know about other families, but it's always been like this here. Well, since my parents have been together."

Flashbacks of the first Christmases that Steve could remember celebrating ran through his mind.  Most of them were filled with Sarah working longer shifts than usual just to make sure that Steve got that one big present that he wanted the most. Sarah was always an amazing mom, but the older Steve got, the more awestruck he was by just how much she did for him.

Reaching over, Bucky placed his hand on Steve's forearm. Fondly, he rubbed light circles onto Steve's skin, and leaned forward to press a kiss to Steve's forehead. Steve closed his eyes. Usually, Steve would've felt off-kilter with someone knowing about his family and how Sarah was his biological sister and his adoptive mother. But with Bucky, it didn't make Steve feel bad about where he came from, or for having the unusual home life that he had.

"I remember this one Christmas," Steve softly started, licking over his lips as he looked back on his childhood, "I wanted this Hell in the Cell WWE playset. I mean, I really wanted that thing because I would watch wrestling with Tim when he would babysit me, and my mom… She was working so hard. She was enrolled as a full-time student and working full-time on top of it, and so I was with Tim and his girlfriend a lot. Especially that Christmas because Mom was picking up overtime at the restaurant she worked at.

"Anyway," Steve shook his head, "That year was especially hard. And right before Christmas, our car broke down, and all that money that Mom had been saving had to go towards fixing it because there was no way that she would've been able to make it to her classes and her job and to her friends' to pick me up. And even though I was little, I knew that I wasn't going to get it."

Steve paused, remembering it all. How defeated Sarah had been. How she had cried in the living room after putting Steve to bed. The way that Sarah kept going over and over their bills, trying to figure out a way to get Steve what he wanted most that Christmas. Remembering Tim's girlfriend at the time telling Sarah, "Just get her some Barbie accessories. Those are pretty cheap." How Sarah had argued, "Stevie doesn't want that, and she deserves to have this. She's such a good kid, and I'm failing her."

Those words were the ones that always stayed in the back of Steve's head. Even as a child, Steve knew that Sarah wasn't failing him. She loved him and did everything she could to make sure he had the life that she didn't have. And once Steve started staying up all night debating coming out because he didn't want to fail her, did he think about those words even more.

Of course, just like with everything else in their relationship, Sarah and Steve had never counted the hardships as failings.

Clearing the emotion from his throat, Steve continued, "So, when Christmas finally came, I was surprised to find a homemade Hell in the Cell cage. It had been made out of popsicle sticks and --" Steve sniffled as tears built in the rim of his eyes and he giggled "-- Sarah had these Toy Story band aids all over her fingers because she got splinters from putting it together."

Thinking about it, Steve nodded to himself, "That's probably my favorite Christmas."

Finally, Steve looked up at Bucky and found the brunet genuinely grinning as he confirmed, "Sounds like a great Christmas."
