#i bet she liked Fluttershy

[wraith-t0wn]

I drew the bg3 cast as ponies. Apparently the only autism I got was the gay pastel pony and the gay high fantasy rpg autism and not the math and science autism I GUESS.

Oh and bonus bloodweave bc I’m obsessed with them

Will be updating with Jaheira and Minsc + alt designs for Astarion and Halsin whenever I get to them!!! :3

Hii ♪⁠～⁠(⁠´⁠ε⁠｀⁠ ⁠)

Can I request Danny with a shy darling?

bet

You were usually by yourself, which you'd think would make it easier for Danny to approach you

But it's like you have a 6th sense for when he's near and you take off

He sometimes thinks you're scared of him or something

But when he's ghost, you're like a different person

As Danny Fenton, you never approach him and barely speak a word to him

Though as previously state, when he sees you as a ghost, you're drawn to him and talk to him about everything [Like Fluttershy in MLP S1E1 when she's shy around Twilight, but talks a lot to Spike]

"What's it like to be a ghost?"

"How did you become a ghost?"

"Are you dead? Or are you like half dead? How does it work?"

You ask him a million questions and he wishes you would give him this same attention as Fenton

He'll sneak up to your room as a ghost, so he can talk to you normally

He can listen to you talk for hours, because he'll never get this chance again

He loves how soft spoken you are like an angel

You have a hard time telling people no, and Danny sometimes takes advantage of that, by staying past him welcome

He becomes more dominant in his demands as Fenton, wanting you to talk to him

He seeks you out and will trap you/corner you to talk to him

You're to nervous to tell him to leave you alone, but you eventually warm up to him

His friends are surprised when you come over to their table with Danny

But Danny is willing to do whatever it takes to win you over, no matter how shy you are

THEY ARE DONE!!! YIPPEE!! These are my AppleJack and Fluttershy redesigns!

here they are side by side.

RANT TIME. I did not struggle much when it came to applejack, I had always had a pet peeve with her og design because it was NOT proper for the work that she does. on a farm it is better to have short hair or have the hair in a braid so that it isn't in the way. ESPECIALLY when working with animals and or fruit tree farms. Long hair will get stuck in the tree branches and with a tail as long as AJ's it is BOUND to get dragged in manure and mud. So I cut the tail short and put her hair in a braid along with add mud stains to really drive the fact that YES she works on a farm AND YES she is gonna be dirty.

Fluttershy, I had a really hard time with. I knew I didn't want her to be a pony, so I made her a hippogriff. The details are what gave me the most issues. because on one hand, I wanted her to seem more like a flower but on the OTHER hand I wanted to bring in more animal themes. I procrastinated and at some point I just- shut my brain off and started drawing. I really liked what they did with her rainbow power up cutie mark so I incorporated it into my version of her cutie mark. also the reason she has her long hair out and free is mainly because its feathers instead of hair so she won't need to worry about loose strained or stuff like that. Also she can fly so she doesn't have to touch mud or dirt too often.

HEADCANNONS: okay so- Appledash is my opt along with Rarishy. don't get me wrong I like Fluttercord but I see them more as a Platonic couple. PLUS I JUST LOVE THE THOUGHT OF FLUTTERSHY BEING THE HUMBLENESS TO RARITY'S EXTRAVAGANCE. Back to Appledash for a bit. I think Rainbow dash, when they have time off, they would go and help applejack on the farm a bit, and if applejack finished early the two would just mess with each other like "I bet you I could jump higher than you!" "oh yeah? BET!" and stuff like that. Rarishy is like diva x shy nerd kinda- in my eyes anyways. Fluttershy is often visiting rarity to see what she working on and her claw-woven baskets she's made and tell rarity about the new animals in her sanctuary. I also think that rarity would often go on picnics with fluttershy and have tea and talk about sweet nothings with each other. Rarity would so ask fluttershy to model some clothes for her brand sometimes (As long as fluttershy is okay with it) and would help fluttershy with her self-esteem.

Just some thoughts <3 Don't forget to drink water and stretch!

[mylittleponyauprompts]

Do you think Fluttershy would ask Twilight about ways to see microscopic animals. Like if she has a microscope or a spell with a similar application. Because I think Fluttershy would love seeing microscopic creatures, and love nerding out with Twilight over them.

Both of them having long conversations about bacteria, Tardigrades, and molds. I bet you both of them would have had an ant farm or brine shrimp as kids.and i bet you both of them insisted on the best possible living conditions for their ants and shrimp.

[brideofdiscord-rewritten]

Bride of Discord rewritten chapter 14: the visit.

Broken beams of marmalade skies swayed through the windows of fluttershy's room, cropped gently by the tangerine trees outside the cottage flailing their leaves as if to tenderly rouse her awake.

When Fluttershy did awake, she could not help but think she had forgotten something. She could not put her hoof on it, but something about today felt different, like an anti-deja vu.

At that moment, Discord appeared at her bedside with a tray of food.

"Happy Birthday, dearest!"

She slapped herself in the forehead. "Of course."

He set the tray onto her lap. "Breakfast in bed! Hope you're in the mood for pancakes."

"Oh, you didn't have to do anything for me, Discord," she said with a smile. "You've been so sweet to me, I'd like to treat you sometime!"

"Come now, your birth was a great enough treat! Now eat up! I have lots more planned for your special day!"

He vanished and returned once she had finished eating, which of course she had quickly enough that she had gotten the hiccups. The next thing she knew she was dressed in a robe and sitting in a sauna. Discord, wearing a pink fluffy robe, stretched out beside her.

"Ah, nothing like a good steam bath to help you forget your troubles."

"When did we get a sauna?" Fluttershy chuckled.

He raised his paw. "Relax, my dear! Unwind yourself!"

Now that she thought about it, she had not been in a sauna since her last get-together with Rarity. Her chance to relax was long overdue. So Fluttershy closed her eyes and leaned her back against the wall, letting the steam sink into her skin. How lovely it graced her once it got past her coat... In a quarter of an hour, she opened her eyes to see Discord staring down at her with a wide grin on his face.

"What?" she said.

Discord straightened up. "Nothing! I just…"

"Maybe we've been in here for too long. You're sweating."

"You're supposed to-"

"Yes! On to the next part of the treatment!"

A snap of his fingers transformed the sauna into a bath of a gooey green substance. Fluttershy recognized it as the crystal mud from the Crystal Empire. She had not had the chance to try it while she was there, and sitting in it now confirmed that it was as refreshing as Cadence had said. She laughed as she remembered that day when they were welcoming the inspector for the Equestria Games, only to find out that they had gotten the wrong pony. She and her friends had always wound up in the craziest of situations.

Discord was confused as her sudden laughter turned into a frown.

"What's wrong, my dear? Is the mud too warm?"

"No," Fluttershy sighed. It's nothing, really."

He snapped his fingers. "I know what you need! A massage!"

The mud bath disappeared, and Fluttershy found herself lying on a massage table.

"Really Discord, none of this is necessary, I just want…"

She trailed off as she felt the draconequus' hands gently rub her shoulders. In a second, her eyelids slid shut as she relaxed on the table.

"If it troubles you then you should spit it out! I'd say it's something rather than nothing when it's your birthday."

Fluttershy was about to answer, but was lulled by his tender touch that all that came out was a sigh. After massaging her for half an hour, Discord teleported them both to the gazebo.

"Now for your gift."

Fluttershy raised an eyebrow. "The spa treatment wasn't it?"

"No, that was a bonus. I have something more special in mind."

He seated her on a bench and lifted the ring around her neck.

"I'll bet this thing has given you some distress."

"A little," she muttered.

She had nearly forgotten she was still wearing that.

"Well, I just want you to know that…I don't want you to feel like you're being forced into this, and…for what it's worth…I…I can't imagine being with any other pony, so…"

He curled around her and pointed a gleaming finger to the ring, engraving words into it. Once the writing had stopped glowing, Fluttershy squinted to read it.

"To my one and only Fluttershy." She blinked. "I…I don't know what to say."

"Id like you know if you..."

"What?"

He couldn't do it. Not with her eyes glinting with joy.

He teleported in front of her with a birthday cake in his hands. It was a proper red velvet, sweet and buttery like a southern treat, chocolate enhancing every note, without overpowering them. A hint of Hazelnut coffee lined every bite. Paired with a tangy cream cheese it felt like heaven.

"Make a wish!" he exclaimed, holding it out to Fluttershy. "And as it is your birthday, it will be my duty to make it come true!"

That caught her attention. "You promise?"

"Cross my heart," he said, making the gesture.

Fluttershy closed her eyes and blew out the candles.

"So what will it be, my sweet?"

She puffed her chest.

"I wish to visit my friends."

As she had predicted, Discord's face fell. "Sweetheart, I thought we talked about this…"

She crossed her hooves. "No, we haven't. And I think it's time we did."

He laughed nervously. "Isn't there something else you'd like?"

Fluttershy shook her head. "I want to visit my friends, nothing more, nothing less."

He set the cake down and laid his hands on her shoulders. "Darling…" She turned her head from him. "I can't overturn the law-"

She hovered over him. "You promised you would grant whatever wish I made!"

"and I will! But-"

"Then why?!" She spun around, revealing her water filled eyes. "Why won't you let me see my friends?"

He furrowed his brows. Discord felt a pang throughout his thought to his chest.

Her commanding then turned into begging. "Please? Just for the day? I promise I'll come right back, and if I don't, you can bring me back with your magic. In fact, you wouldn't have to. You can trust me."

"I do trust you, Fluttershy! More than anypony, but I have to guarantee that your visit stays within the confines of the contract!"

"please, can't we rewrite it?"

He rubbed the back of his neck. "That, and…"

"How about this? Instead of letting me go to them, you'll bring here!"

"I don't know if that counts as foalnapping! Besides, they're not allowed within our territory-"

"Not even for one day? It is my birthday, after all."

"I want to let you see them! I want to give you this one thing! But it's not that simple... "

She lay her hoof on his shoulder.

"or maybe it is. All I know is that I'm not the draconequus I was when I made that deal. And I know that I don't want..."

Fluttershy tilted her head to an angle. "You can tell me."

"some part of me doesn't want them to take you away. Because I know if they convince you to go back and you did it, it wouldn't be because they brainwashed you or whatever. It'd be because you had a reason, and you wanted to. I'm not scared that you'll go back to your life and be happy...I'm terrified of losing my first friend."

His voice cracked gently before he turned his head off the the side and cleared his throat.

"I'm terribly sorry fluttershy, I didn't want to spin your feelings back on ole' me!"

"I promise, we can rework the treaty, and you can come visit me, but we have to have them here. Besides, you never allow my friends to visit, who are my bridesmaids going to be?"

Discord's ears perked up. "Brides…?"

"And I promised Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo they would be my flower girls, and Spike, the ring bearer, and…well, you need some pony to perform the service and Twilight IS the duchess of celestia now…"

"Wait, back up!" he interrupted, facing her. "Are you saying…?"

She inhaled, only allowing a short breath in, and a longer one out. It was circle breathing then,it was muay Thai technique.

"I'd like to marry you, when and only when we rework the deal. I feel like... like we are close enough that we can marry."

Discord was speechless, not believing what he was hearing. This had to be a dream, or at least a trick, but he was awake and Fluttershy was not one to kid. Gosh deal or no deal he'd have to be a complete starchy spud not take up her offer. Marrying his... best friend, never being alone again, giving her anything she could ever want....

She squeaked as he suddenly took her in his arms. "Oh, thank you! You've made me the happiest creature in the world, my dear! Now, do you think I should wear a tux or what? I'm partial to a off the shoulder ball gown, something with lots of ruffles and peacock feathers-"

Fluttershy tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong. "Discord! Sweet! Youre-"

"of course if you do like traditional I can wear a tux, but not any boring- oh! What about a non-west equestria wedding!"

She squealed as he spun her, around like a fancy carousel with strobe lights. He apologized before putting her down, as she giggled and twirled her mane in dizzy. He danced gently.

Pinkie lay dormant on a large circle bed in the boutique. Surrounded by the colors not unlike that of a mallard, mottled with mustard yellows. All the ceiling drapes now caught on the columns, surrounding her like Spanish moss, however below such a flourishing plant still was an extinction. One of natural joy.

"Come on, Pinkie, this is getting ridiculous!" Rainbow exclaimed. "You've been crying for hours! You're gonna flood the place!"

"It's Fluttershy's birthday!" Pinkie cried. "I had a big party planned for her! It was going to be out in her garden! I was going to surprise her!" She pulled out a wrapped gift from under her bed. "I was going to give this to her! Now I'll never know if she'll like it!"

Applejack laid a hoof on her shoulder. "We miss her too, Pinkie, but we just have to accept…"

"How can we accept that our best friend is gone for good? We're never gonna see her again! Worst of all, she's never gonna see her birthday present!"

Suddenly, Spike burped up a letter. When he opened it, he gasped.

"It's Discord again!"

"What?!" every pony shrieked, huddling around him.

"seriously dude, get a fax machine..."

"What does it say, Spike?" Twilight inquired.

The dragon cleared his throat. "You are cordially invited to Fluttershy's birthday party at Discord's castle. Starting now."

The next thing they knew, all nine of them were standing in front of a dark castle.

"What in tarnation!?" Applejack proclaimed.

"Where are we?" Twilight wondered.

Rarity cringed as she looked up at the cottage. "Clearly an area in need of some interior designers."

"This has gotta be Discord's place!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Oh, well that makes sense."

"It wasn't supposed to!"

Everyone turned around in shock to see the draconequus standing over them. Rainbow Dash looked up in abject horror and slowly fluttered down to the cobblestone path, bolting to rarity's side.

Discord rolled his eyes. "Well, I was going to let you see her, but if that's the way you're going to behave…"

"Slow yer roll there hoss, what's goin on?"

"Didn't you get the invitation?"

He tugged the parchment out of Spike's claw using his magic. Pinkie leaned forward to read it again.

"You mean…?" Her eyes slid down the wall of her skull dropping like a sack of loose muscle. They dilated with anticipation. "BIRTHDAY PARTY!"

As she screamed, she launched into the air and fireworks exploded behind her, creating a visceral display of every possible twitching emotion contained in the word "exitement." Discord scratched his head. How does she do that? Pinkie then rushed to the front door, bursting it open.

"Wha- my door! That's teakwood"

"Discord?" Fluttershy called as she entered the main hall. "Are they…?"

"FLUTTERSHY!"

Pinkie tackled her into a hug, giving Fluttershy no chance to escape. The others galloped to her every angle and squeezed her like they would never feel again.

"Fluttershy!" Rarity exclaimed. "You're alright!"

"Girls! Spike!" Fluttershy said, tears coming into her eyes. "I missed you so much! I…" She choked as Pinkie squeezed tighter. "Can't…breathe…"

"Oops!" the pink pony blushed, not very noticeably, backing away with the others. "Sorry, I just can't believe it's you! I thought I'd never see you again and that you'd never get to see what I got you for your birthday…" She gasped dramatically. "Your birthday! Quick, close your eyes!"

"Why do I have to…?"

She was cut off as Pinkie tied a blindfold around her head. "One second!"

Fluttershy heard a few familiar blasts before the cloth was removed. The room was now walled with balloons, streamers and other party decorations.

"How did you…?" she started to ask, but she already knew the answer.

"I never go anywhere without my party cannon!" Pinkie chimed, bringing the object into view.

"oh hey, I love that band!" Discord panted out as he caught up to the six of them and spike.

She strapped a birthday hat onto Fluttershy's head, laughing as the strap poofed her expanse of hair every which way. Pinkie started up the gramophone.

"Let's party! This is my mixtape, I made it when I had that big hide-and-seek birthday bash a few years back!"

The music rang throughout the rooms, funky 8-bit tunes filling the ears with wonder and joy.

But instead of dancing, the ponies fed Fluttershy a million questions.

"Have you been kept safe?" Rarity asked.

"How are the animals?" inquired Applejack.

"How do you not get dizzy in here?" Rainbow questioned, glancing around the distorted room.

"Are you married yet?" Spike asked, looking at the engagement ring. "He seems so different!"

"Does he know pi?!" Pinkie inquired eagerly.

"Whoa, girls!" Twilight exclaimed, silencing them. "Give her some space!"

Fluttershy summed it up. "Yes, he's kept me safe in the forest, and we're not married yet. Actually, Discord's treated me quite well. He's really…sweet."

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. "You've got to be kidding me."

"We brought you here, didn't we?"

Twilight giggled, trying to lighten the mood. "What does it matter? It's Fluttershy's birthday. We should be celebrating!"

The Duchess began her awkward dancing, which everyone stared at for a while. She was so careless and free, she almost resembled that mare from Seingeld. Then they shrugged and danced themselves. In between songs, Fluttershy received updates on every pony's lives.

Rainbow Dash couldn't see her feelings for applejack being requited, so she didn't want to infringe on their friendship and dating status with rarity. Fluttershy snickered as she explained this. How aloof this filly could be! She'll be over the moon if applejack says something!

"sometimes I just see her, and we're cuddling with rarity, and I see the way she looks at her and-GOSH! She makes my heart race like when I'm flying! She's so headstrong and caring, and I just wanna take her out to treat her, y'know? Real classy just for her! wanna surprise her with something hoity toity. Like, hey! I got us a bucket of chicken! Wanna date?"

Fluttershy nearly cackled, "That's not fancy at all!

The blue pegasus rubbed the back of her neck. "It's a self proof thing. I wanna prove I'm the type mare she'd like! Like rarity!"

"I'm sure she likes how different you three are, and you don't have to get fancy for her!" Fluttershy giggled!

"Well," Rarity interjected, "I think this relationship is much sweeter and more genuine than that with blueblood! I just anticipate seeing my mares every day!"

"have you been taking those vitamins rarity?"

"Oh yes! They've worked wonders for my mane! And don't worry, applejack and rainbow dash already know. They were elated! I think I'm really gonna spend my life with them!"

She buried her head in fluttershy's embrace, squealing and tapping her hooves, blushing madly.

Seeing rarity pratter on about her love made spike's heart crumble, and slowly wash together again seeing her smile so hard and celebrate so sporadically that her mane frizzed.

The earth pony glanced at the dragon on the other side of the room, freaking it sensitive style as he watched in bitter-sweet pining. She lay a hoof on his little head, so tender and mild was the baby boy. Her eyes never exceeded the far off gaze.

"it wasn't meant to be spike. But something is. And I can't wait until you find it, Angel boy."

He smiled up at her so burning and gratifyingly, earnest as if to say "her love is my love. Thank you for showing me this."

"Who wants to play Pin the Tail on the Pony?" Pinkie called, throwing a blindfold around Fluttershy's eyes again. "Birthday girl goes first!"

As the afternoon went on, Fluttershy enjoyed her friends' company as they played more games and caught up with one another. One after the other, operation, clue, monopoly, Texas hold'em! It was after the third round of candyland that fluttershy's attention averted to the draconequus cutting it up in the corner.

She excused herself from her friends and flew up to him.

"Thank you, Discord," she said with a smile, "for bringing my friends here."

His expression changed at the sight of her. "You're welcome."

"You don't have to sit here all day. Why don't you join us?"

"I think your friends," he pointed at the ponies, baring his teeth in a way that wasn't anger, but unsureness. Q"would not appreciate that."

She was about to say something when he slid his arm around her. "Have you told them yet?"

Fluttershy blinked. "Told them what?"

He chuckled, playfully twirling the ring on her neck. "Have you really forgotten already?"

She looked down at the ring and blushed. "Oh."

She had been so excited about seeing her friends, she had forgotten the reason they were here in the first place.

"N-no, I…

"We should do it together! We wanted them here?"

"I…it's just…"

They were interrupted by Pinkie, who had bravely approached the draconequus. "Hey, Discord! You wanna play Twister with us?"

He stared at the pink pony, shocked at the invitation and then stood up. "Alright, but I warn you, I'm the world champ!"

Pinkie snorted. "As if!"

"Is that a challenge?"

"Only if you're up for it!"

"Oh, it's on!"

Before following the pony, he turned back to his fiancé. "We have to, to rewrite the deal!"

The ponies erupted in jeers and competitive whoops! Overlapping voices gave way to reveal rainbow's epic shouting.

"IM TAKING ALL BETS, 9-2 ON PINKIE, THE MARE WITH THE FLAIR, THE GREAT PINK HOPE!!"

Only Pinkie, Dash, and twilight were bold enough to go against Discord in Twister. Thanks to his long snake-like body he was able to defeat them with ease. While Pinkie called for best two out of three, Fluttershy pulled Applejack aside. Since she was the one she had confided in before, she felt more confident telling her first.

"I'm glad to see you're gettin' along fine, Shug," the southern pony sighed. "I don't know what you've been doin' the past month, but Discord seems a might different. I'm surprised he let us come here."

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about, Applejack," Fluttershy whispered. "You see, the reason we brought you here is…um…"

"Because it's your birthday?"

"No…well, sort of, really wanted to see you and this was a really special occasion.."

Applejack laid a hoof on her shoulder. "Take it easy, lovebug, Whatever you have to say, say it."

She took a deep breath. "I…I want to rewrite the treaty."

"Oh, um…great?"

"I need you girls at the wedding in the next 12 moons!"

Silence fell over the room and Fluttershy realized that she had shouted that last part. Pinkie fell from her position and Discord pumped his fist.

"Yes! Victory!" He then noticed the glares he was receiving. "Oh, come on, don't be sore losers!"

"You're marrying him in 12 moons?!" Rarity uttered.

"Oh, so you've told them!" He teleported to his fiancé's side and threw his arm around her. "Yes, our big day is in almost two weeks and you're all invited! The four of you can be bridesmaids, the foals can be the flower girls, the dragon can be the ring bear or whatever it is and Princess cranium can perform the service!"

Twilight's jaw dropped in horror. "You want me to…to…marry you two?!"

"You can't do that,I'm marrying her!" He cackled!

"Um, Discord?" Fluttershy said softly. "Could you let me talk to them?

"Oh, sure, go ahead! Who's stopping you?"

"Alone?"

"ooh, gotcha!"

Once he had vanished, Fluttershy floated down to her friends.

"That was awfully rude of you."

"Rude?!" every pony exclaimed.

"You're marrying that monster so soon!!" Rarity cried. "How do you expect us to react?"

"But you know I'm engaged to him," Fluttershy pointed out.

"We didn't…" Rainbow stammered. "We didn't expect it to happen now! And…now you want us to be a part of it?!"

"I thought you'd want to come to my wedding."

"Not when it means watching you get married to a monster!"

Fluttershy stomped her hoof defensively, "monster us subjective! And from what I've been shown I know that if he's a monster, than so are we!"

"He took you away from us!"

"It was my decision to come and stay, and I had my bargains respected!"

"how can you be so accepting of this?!"

"Because he's my friend! And he's a good pony! And if I had the choice to spend the rest of my life with anyone else I wouldn't take it, not for a million billion bits!!!"

She trailed off and realized that she had already said too much. Applejack raised an eyebrow at her flushed cheeks, more flushed than usual. She knew that look.

"Are you…in love with him?"

Rarity huffed. "Don't be ridiculous, Applejack, she just said they were best friends!"

"Yeah," Rainbow laughed. "But I call you my best friend by habit sometimes!"

Rarity gasped infiginified

"He's fun and all," Pinkie chimed, "but you can't really-

"Fluttershy, you can't be serious! He tried to take over Equestria! Three times!"

"He practically keeps you prisoner!"

"He threatened the princesses!"

"He beat me at Twister!" Pinkie shouted.

"GET OFF HER FLANK!!!"

Silence permeated throughout the walls. A hollow and yet shallow steady beat of breath rattled through the baby dragon standing defiantly above the ponies. His chest rose and his head pelted back, as arms rested at his sides, hoisting himself up upon a bench. Fluttershy stuttered,

"So you don't…?"

"I know that in a lotta places, dragons like me would be irredeemable monsters. Heck, some places don't allow us in! And while yeah uh.. few of us are, the one big thing we can use to turn back their path or like, prevent it maybe, is FRIENDSHIP."

Twilight felt the corners of her mouth perk up like they were tied with string, tears pricking her eyes. Her baby boy, her little man, her other half...

He was gonna tell her teachings better than she could one day, and she couldn't be prouder.

"I believe her. Princess Luna can be changed, and love beats up evil. If we don't practice what we preach, then what's the point of being at our friend's birthday?!"

...

As his valiant words echoed throughout the room, Fluttershy's heart sank. Her friends lost their anger as tears streamed down her face. Twilight held out her hoof.

"Fluttershy, we… I wanna hear what you have to say. I want to hear you out."

Rarity sat back and listened,giving her warmest smile, squeezing spike in adoration. Rainbow flew to her side and quirked her head smirking warmly,and inquisitivly. Applejack rested her head in their laps. Pinkie leapt from her previous position and hugged fluttershy.

"For the record, I think it's a pretty metal story tell your kids. Stretch out that ten minute story for eight years and you can get a sitcom out it." Rainbow commented.

Fluttershy buried her head in her hooves. Betwixt her grasp was a smile that flexed no muscles. Her hair was frizzy and unkempt, her limbs shook like a elm in a drought. Her nerves shot as if through a rivet gun. The queasiness never subsided, her bones were glass and her skin was paper.

She couldn't feel any of it as she embraced her friends.

"Of course ya don't understand!" Applejack snapped. "You of all ponies wouldn't understand! You talk about romance all the time, but you wouldn't know love if it was starin' you right in the face!" She turned to the others. "That goes for all of ya!"

"you never opened your present..."

"Oh! Of course!"

As she bore into the delicately wrapped gift, revealing to herself a jade and rose quartz comb, etched with love it read, "born to love, live to create." Fluttershy was downright crying at this point, no conclusion she could come up with was coherent enough to exact her spirit.

Fluttershy heard a grunt and looked up to see the draconequus standing over her. Despite the circumstances, she was happy to see him, for now he was here to comfort her. Her joy turned into suspense as she noted the nervous smile cracking across his face. His hands were clenched to the sides, and his eyes were glaring into the scene with remorse.

MLP Broodmother Virus: Pinkie Pie Interview

Twilight: *pale and attempting to hide her disgust as she stares across the table at Pinkie*...T-The um...t-the camera's on. Y-You can start now. Pinkie: *staring back at Pinkie with a wide smile, even as blood trickles down her nose and onto the table.* Gotcha! Hi Mr. Camera, it's me Pinkie! *giggles* Twilight: Heh...h-heh...yes, right. Um...w-well Pinkie, I have some questions, if that's alright. Pinkie: Of course it is Twi-Twi! Twilight: Good, lovely...well, you um...you've gotten, quite a few new symptoms, yes? Would you mind...t-telling me, about them? Pinkie: Of course! Well, let's see...ooo, I've been shaking a lot lately! I always kinda did that though, hehe! It's kinda like eating waaaaay too much chocolate, and then trying to run a marathon! Oh, and my mane's started falling out! *She shook her head a bit, and a puff of curly pink hair fell from her mane. She giggled, picking it up* See? *She bounced the puff of hair between her hooves like it was a ball* Twilight: *clearly struggling to maintain her composure but can still see the flickers of her friend behind all of this, so does her best to maintain* Heh, yes...yes, I see. I hope this doesn't seem insensitive Pinkie, but...why are you not bothered by these things? Pinkie: Oh that's easy! Cause I know I'll be okay! Twilight: You do? How? Pinkie: I'm not sure, I can just feel it, ya know? It must be my Pinkie Sense! *She giggles* I don't blame ya for being scared Twi-Twi, cause I know you don't get it, but don't worry, you will soon! Twilight:...I...um...l-let's move on, shall we? Pinkie: Okay! Twilight: *clears throat* Have you heard what occurred in Fluttershy's cell? Pinkie: Uh huh! Discord came in like a superhero, whoooosh, and scooped Fluttershy right up, saving the day! Twilight:... Pinkie: What? Twilight: Pinkie, what happened was -not- good. Not only did Fluttershy kill Nurse Redheart, whether it was by accident or not, but now Discord, one of our greatest allies, has cut communication entirely! He's so furious at me, quite frankly, I'm amazed this facility is still standing. I can't enter his realm, I can't send him letters, and from all I can tell, this virus is proving highly resistant to magical treatments. I don't know how this situation could be any worse! Pinkie: Aw Twi, don't be sad! Nurse Redheart died super quick, I promise, and I bet Discord'll think Fluttershy's even prettier soon! Twilight:...H-How...P-Pinkie, do you know anything else about what's going on? Pinkie: Of course I do! I know everypony will be just as happy as I am soon, thanks to AJ and Big Mac! They're the best! Twilight:...AJ and Big Mac? But, they would never - they've been spending ages making sure the food is- *She blinks...then her eyes widen with a horrified realization.* N-No...oh Celestia...GET PINKIE BACK TO HER CELL NOW! I NEED TO GO, NOW! (Gore and body horror warning beyond this marker)

(The second picture fucked up somehow so here's what the text is supposed to read) Stage 4:

After a period of appearing 'cured', new symptoms will begin:

Hair loss

Red eyes

Minor necrosis

Spots of irritation on middle of back and in middle of chest

Mania

Constant shaking

Cutie Mark changing

Note: Even in this advanced state, the victim will maintain most of their original personality changes, but they will be twisted by the mental effects of the virus.

MLP Rewrite AU - Friendship Games (if you haven't done it already)

Okay so I debated on this for a hot minute but like. I /did/ rewrite this once

but there's one thing I want to think about re: rewriting it again.

Which is just how different Sci-Twi is from Twilight. I mentioned this before but while the rest of the Counterparts are pretty indistinguishable from each other, Sci-Twi is the only one who is a whole ass different person. Which makes sense!! It's totally believable that their different upbringings would make them different!

But at the same time, she's just so different from Twilight that it bothers me. And I think my best bet right now is going to be mixing the two. Because if I went full on keeping Twilight's personality in Sci-Twi's situation, she'd derail the plot like 10 times throughout the movie.

Okay as for some rewrite:

Sci-Twi is still quite anti-social, but it's less 'meek and scared' and more closer to the Pony self in Season 1. Where she just does not have time for everyone's bullshit when she can be learning more things! This is exacerbated by the fact that Crystal Prep is full of dicks, so any time VP Cadence tries to get her to branch out and make friends, they're jerks

Spike is a Human in this too, a Freshman while Twi's a Senior. He's better socially on the whole but Crystal Prep isn't really the best place for making friends so he doesn't really have any and tends to stick to Twilight between classes and help her with projects(extra credit points are a bonus!)

Plot is very the same. Twilight's investigating the weird energy signals she's been picking up while somehow everyone from Crystal Prep hasn't heard jack shit about the Magic nonsense going around CHS. The Friendship Games are coming up, and Cinch wants Twilight to compete. To the point of blackmailing her with approving or denying her study program.

Twilight is quite annoyed by this tactic, but isn't too bothered on being able to complete the goal. She's more upset that competing will keep her from investigating the school since she already figured out that the energy signals are coming there, but hopefully she'll still get something. That said she will be mentioning it to Shining and their parents later.

Meanwhile the Rainbooms are dealing with their Magic just kinda happening and not quite figuring out what's causing it.

Yadda yadda, Twilight and Spike show up and is creeped out by everyone seeming to know their names? What the fuck? Though it doesn't take long for all of CHS to find out 'oh, that's Twilight's Human Counterpart and she's at Crystal Prep???'.

Twilight causes issues thanks to her device draining Magic and opening portals. The Rainbooms try to talk to her, but keep getting interrupted by either the Games or just the Shadowbolts thinking that they're starting shit and turning it into a back-and-forth trash talk.

They get some of a chance to talk to Twilight when her and Spike wander off to try and eat their lunch in peace, but Fluttershy is also trying to eat her lunch in the relative peace of being surrounded by local animals.

Fluttershy is nice ofc and asks Twilight why she seems so frustrated, and Twi starts ranting about the energy signals and all that. And Shy's like 'have you..... tried asking anyone? Because we'd all tell you about the whole magical pony counterpart dimension'. And Twi's like 'Why would anyone tell me anything when I'm just a student from a rival school being a nosy fucker and did you say 'magical pony counterpart dimension???'

Fluttershy just kinda smiles and reminds her that, for as many mean people there are, there are plenty of kind ones willing to help wherever they can. She'd be fully willing to answer any of Twilight's questions!

Cue Pony-Up sequence, Twilight's device draining Flutters' Magic, more portals opening, and Spike being temporarily yeeted through before getting pulled back to their world.

Twilight is already panicking because okay oh shit this is not only starting to get very dangerous but holy FUCK who knows what that could've done to Spike is he okay she doesn't want her little brother to get hurt because of her!

Spike says he feels fine, though he was sure something weird was happening. Fluttershy tries to assure them that it's just part of the portal transforming people into their Counterparts, but that isn't most reassuring. Especially when Spike sneezes fire because yep contact with Magic /did/ change him a bit.

Twilight is too panicked to ask any more questions, instead trying to run off somewhere fully alone and have a mini breakdown and try to figure out a way to dismantle the device she has to keep if from doing more dangerous things. Unfortunately she's dragged back into the Games.

She actually does decently well in her part of the triathalon(Twilight may be a nerd, but she had Shining as an older brother. She's not a pushover when it comes to athletic stuff even if it's not her vibe.). But she's still shaking too much from earlier for the archery part. Instead of starting to cry like in canon, she's still low-key crying but about to take off Sour Sweet's head because you are not helping!!

Unfortunately AJ gets there first of like 'Girl shut the FUCK up your teammate's doing decent and you saying untrue shit to hurt her ain't helping!' before trying her best to help Twilight stay grounded in reality enough to make the shot.

This counts as enough truth and honesty to get a pony up, and whoops Magic Drain and Portals! Absolute chaos and danger!

Afterward Twilight tries to both apologize and swallow her pride to ask for help because yeah clearly the others know what's going on. But ofc kicking everything off again by draining Rainbow's Magic and opening more Portals.

Sunset.... doesn't handle this well. Like she was already dealing with the frustration of Magic doing weird shit, she was feeling inferior because 'surely Princess Twilight would've had a handle on this by now but I've made no progress!', her friends have been put in so much danger thanks to this whole thing, and she's low-key projecting with seeing someone so genuinely curious but messing with things they don't understand in ways that have no safety nets for when shit goes wrong.

So she snaps and yells at Twilight about it. Which makes Twilight both sad and frustrated because damn it she's trying and maybe Sunset has a point but also she's panicked enough as it is and doesn't want to hurt anyone else!! So she storms off.

Spike is at least trying to get more answers with less direct frustration.

The next round starts and.... well. Twilight's dealing with Cinch's dishonest blackmail scheme. She's dealing with her classmates turning against her. Both making it clear that they're only using her for what she can give them. The only way to make things right for anyone is to go through with this plan, but she's so scared to hurt someone with it now that she sees the danger she's been putting them in and how unstable it is. The only way to fix this, all of it, is to push through and learn what she can. If she has more knowledge, she can find a solution.

The negative energy around her creates Midnight Sparkle, not a Demon but a Dark Angel. All of her desires magnified, with no care to what may happen. What does she have left here? People who don't give a fuck about her? But there's a whole world of Magic where she can at least learn new things. Give herself some semblance of joy.

Sunset manages to use the Elements as well. Midnight vs. Daydream. Like Canon, Spike manages to call out to Twilight. A reminder that, as bad as thing had gotten, she still has people here who love her. Allowing Daydream to push through with her Magic as well.

An offered hand, a promise that things get better. Friendship given, deep from the heart.

In the aftermath, it's hard for most of Crystal Prep to ignore the obvious lesson. Seeing what their actions turned Twilight into, seeing what CHS' Friendship let Sunset become. It'll take a bit for them to change as well, but.... Twilight gets more proof that asking for help comes through because yeah telling her brother and parents about Cinch's blackmail attempt helped uncover even more of it and at minimum she's getting a forced retirement, allowing Cadence to take over as Principal for now.

Even so, Twilight wants to learn more. Both about Friendship and about Magic and everything inbetween. And it'd be a lot easier for her to do that at CHS. (And they're dragging Spike too lmao)

[i-write-sin-not-tragedy]

I know it’s early, to jump to conclusions, but do you think (well in my opinion at least) Molly’s personally might be similar to Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy (MLP FIM)?

If i had to pick one, she gives off pinkie pie vibes? Or like a pinkie/fluttershy fusion? Although her being pinkie levels of energy would be hilarious LOL and explain why Angel has surprising nack for taking on the "braincell" role as much as he does—

I bet Molly and Niffty would get along great

[incorrectmlpstudentsixquotes]

Each Student Six's favorite professor (and why) headcanons, please? I know it's canon that they all like Fluttershy, but let's forget that for a second, okay?

(cracks knuckles)

Alright, let’s go down the list:

While Gallus wouldn’t necessarily say he has a favorite teacher (what do you think he is, some sorta egghead?), the classes he dreads the least would probably be Twilight’s classes. Mostly because Twilight would probably be the one to prepare the most practical applications for her lesson plans. I see Gallus being a very direct learner. Give me my goal, give me the means to achieve my goal, now leave me the hell alone while I figure this out. Twilight would get that, y’know?

Same with Ocellus, albeit utilizing a much more booksmart method. Gallus is more ‘learning through hands-on experience’, Ocellus is more ‘learning though study and application’. It just so happens that Twilight’s teaching style would actually be able to accommodate both approaches as needed.

Sandbar’s would probably be Fluttershy, mainly because I see Flutters taking every excuse possible to have her lessons take place outdoors, and Sandbar would be all about that.

Smolder weirdly has a lot of respect for Rarity’s classes because Rarity knows how to hide the fact that she’s teaching these little troglodytes anything. I actually see Rarity as being the type of teacher to dress up (lol) her lessons as life experiences, Mr Miyagi style. I feel like Smolder would genuinely appreciate that school of hard-knocks approach, even if it is gussied up in velvet and cashmere.

Silverstream could never pick a favorite. How could she? Each professor has their own unique style and strategy when it comes to imparting knowledge that it actually becomes something of a lesson in-and-of-itself to study their methods of teaching. If anything, Silver would be the one among her friends to be able to adapt the most to the different teaching styles as needed, understanding just how much give-and-take there actually is between teacher and student. What I’m saying is that Silverstream would be an amazing TA.

Yona….

….

….

….

Look, Yona had a schoolgirl crush on Rockhoof that she never really got over. I bet you anything after she and Sandbar got together, she probably asked him to grow a beard more than once.

Bride of Discord rewritten chapter 14: the visit.

Broken beams of marmalade skies swayed through the windows of fluttershy's room, cropped gently by the tangerine trees outside the cottage flailing their leaves as if to tenderly rouse her awake.

When Fluttershy did awake, she could not help but think she had forgotten something. She could not put her hoof on it, but something about today felt different, like an anti-deja vu.

At that moment, Discord appeared at her bedside with a tray of food.

"Happy Birthday, dearest!"

She slapped herself in the forehead. "Of course."

He set the tray onto her lap. "Breakfast in bed! Hope you're in the mood for pancakes."

"Oh, you didn't have to do anything for me, Discord," she said with a smile. "You've been so sweet to me, I'd like to treat you sometime!"

"Come now, your birth was a great enough treat! Now eat up! I have lots more planned for your special day!"

He vanished and returned once she had finished eating, which of course she had quickly enough that she had gotten the hiccups. The next thing she knew she was dressed in a robe and sitting in a sauna. Discord, wearing a pink fluffy robe, stretched out beside her.

"Ah, nothing like a good steam bath to help you forget your troubles."

"When did we get a sauna?" Fluttershy chuckled.

He raised his paw. "Relax, my dear! Unwind yourself!"

Now that she thought about it, she had not been in a sauna since her last get-together with Rarity. Her chance to relax was long overdue. So Fluttershy closed her eyes and leaned her back against the wall, letting the steam sink into her skin. How lovely it graced her once it got past her coat... In a quarter of an hour, she opened her eyes to see Discord staring down at her with a wide grin on his face.

"What?" she said.

Discord straightened up. "Nothing! I just…"

"Maybe we've been in here for too long. You're sweating."

"You're supposed to-"

"Yes! On to the next part of the treatment!"

A snap of his fingers transformed the sauna into a bath of a gooey green substance. Fluttershy recognized it as the crystal mud from the Crystal Empire. She had not had the chance to try it while she was there, and sitting in it now confirmed that it was as refreshing as Cadence had said. She laughed as she remembered that day when they were welcoming the inspector for the Equestria Games, only to find out that they had gotten the wrong pony. She and her friends had always wound up in the craziest of situations.

Discord was confused as her sudden laughter turned into a frown.

"What's wrong, my dear? Is the mud too warm?"

"No," Fluttershy sighed. It's nothing, really."

He snapped his fingers. "I know what you need! A massage!"

The mud bath disappeared, and Fluttershy found herself lying on a massage table.

"Really Discord, none of this is necessary, I just want…"

She trailed off as she felt the draconequus' hands gently rub her shoulders. In a second, her eyelids slid shut as she relaxed on the table.

"If it troubles you then you should spit it out! I'd say it's something rather than nothing when it's your birthday."

Fluttershy was about to answer, but was lulled by his tender touch that all that came out was a sigh. After massaging her for half an hour, Discord teleported them both to the gazebo.

"Now for your gift."

Fluttershy raised an eyebrow. "The spa treatment wasn't it?"

"No, that was a bonus. I have something more special in mind."

He seated her on a bench and lifted the ring around her neck.

"I'll bet this thing has given you some distress."

"A little," she muttered.

She had nearly forgotten she was still wearing that.

"Well, I just want you to know that…I don't want you to feel like you're being forced into this, and…for what it's worth…I…I can't imagine being with any other pony, so…"

He curled around her and pointed a gleaming finger to the ring, engraving words into it. Once the writing had stopped glowing, Fluttershy squinted to read it.

"To my one and only Fluttershy." She blinked. "I…I don't know what to say."

"Id like you know if you..."

"What?"

He couldn't do it. Not with her eyes glinting with joy.

He teleported in front of her with a birthday cake in his hands. It was a proper red velvet, sweet and buttery like a southern treat, chocolate enhancing every note, without overpowering them. A hint of Hazelnut coffee lined every bite. Paired with a tangy cream cheese it felt like heaven.

"Make a wish!" he exclaimed, holding it out to Fluttershy. "And as it is your birthday, it will be my duty to make it come true!"

That caught her attention. "You promise?"

"Cross my heart," he said, making the gesture.

Fluttershy closed her eyes and blew out the candles.

"So what will it be, my sweet?"

She puffed her chest.

"I wish to visit my friends."

As she had predicted, Discord's face fell. "Sweetheart, I thought we talked about this…"

She crossed her hooves. "No, we haven't. And I think it's time we did."

He laughed nervously. "Isn't there something else you'd like?"

Fluttershy shook her head. "I want to visit my friends, nothing more, nothing less."

He set the cake down and laid his hands on her shoulders. "Darling…" She turned her head from him. "I can't overturn the law-"

She hovered over him. "You promised you would grant whatever wish I made!"

"and I will! But-"

"Then why?!" She spun around, revealing her water filled eyes. "Why won't you let me see my friends?"

He furrowed his brows. Discord felt a pang throughout his thought to his chest.

Her commanding then turned into begging. "Please? Just for the day? I promise I'll come right back, and if I don't, you can bring me back with your magic. In fact, you wouldn't have to. You can trust me."

"I do trust you, Fluttershy! More than anypony, but I have to guarantee that your visit stays within the confines of the contract!"

"please, can't we rewrite it?"

He rubbed the back of his neck. "That, and…"

"How about this? Instead of letting me go to them, you'll bring here!"

"I don't know if that counts as foalnapping! Besides, they're not allowed within our territory-"

"Not even for one day? It is my birthday, after all."

"I want to let you see them! I want to give you this one thing! But it's not that simple... "

She lay her hoof on his shoulder.

"or maybe it is. All I know is that I'm not the draconequus I was when I made that deal. And I know that I don't want..."

Fluttershy tilted her head to an angle. "You can tell me."

"some part of me doesn't want them to take you away. Because I know if they convince you to go back and you did it, it wouldn't be because they brainwashed you or whatever. It'd be because you had a reason, and you wanted to. I'm not scared that you'll go back to your life and be happy...I'm terrified of losing my first friend."

His voice cracked gently before he turned his head off the the side and cleared his throat.

"I'm terribly sorry fluttershy, I didn't want to spin your feelings back on ole' me!"

"I promise, we can rework the treaty, and you can come visit me, but we have to have them here. Besides, you never allow my friends to visit, who are my bridesmaids going to be?"

Discord's ears perked up. "Brides…?"

"And I promised Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo they would be my flower girls, and Spike, the ring bearer, and…well, you need some pony to perform the service and Twilight IS the duchess of celestia now…"

"Wait, back up!" he interrupted, facing her. "Are you saying…?"

She inhaled, only allowing a short breath in, and a longer one out. It was circle breathing then,it was muay Thai technique.

"I'd like to marry you, when and only when we rework the deal. I feel like... like we are close enough that we can marry."

Discord was speechless, not believing what he was hearing. This had to be a dream, or at least a trick, but he was awake and Fluttershy was not one to kid. Gosh deal or no deal he'd have to be a complete starchy spud not take up her offer. Marrying his... best friend, never being alone again, giving her anything she could ever want....

She squeaked as he suddenly took her in his arms. "Oh, thank you! You've made me the happiest creature in the world, my dear! Now, do you think I should wear a tux or what? I'm partial to a off the shoulder ball gown, something with lots of ruffles and peacock feathers-"

Fluttershy tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong. "Discord! Sweet! Youre-"

"of course if you do like traditional I can wear a tux, but not any boring- oh! What about a non-west equestria wedding!"

She squealed as he spun her, around like a fancy carousel with strobe lights. He apologized before putting her down, as she giggled and twirled her mane in dizzy. He danced gently.

Pinkie lay dormant on a large circle bed in the boutique. Surrounded by the colors not unlike that of a mallard, mottled with mustard yellows. All the ceiling drapes now caught on the columns, surrounding her like Spanish moss, however below such a flourishing plant still was an extinction. One of natural joy.

"Come on, Pinkie, this is getting ridiculous!" Rainbow exclaimed. "You've been crying for hours! You're gonna flood the place!"

"It's Fluttershy's birthday!" Pinkie cried. "I had a big party planned for her! It was going to be out in her garden! I was going to surprise her!" She pulled out a wrapped gift from under her bed. "I was going to give this to her! Now I'll never know if she'll like it!"

Applejack laid a hoof on her shoulder. "We miss her too, Pinkie, but we just have to accept…"

"How can we accept that our best friend is gone for good? We're never gonna see her again! Worst of all, she's never gonna see her birthday present!"

Suddenly, Spike burped up a letter. When he opened it, he gasped.

"It's Discord again!"

"What?!" every pony shrieked, huddling around him.

"seriously dude, get a fax machine..."

"What does it say, Spike?" Twilight inquired.

The dragon cleared his throat. "You are cordially invited to Fluttershy's birthday party at Discord's castle. Starting now."

The next thing they knew, all nine of them were standing in front of a dark castle.

"What in tarnation!?" Applejack proclaimed.

"Where are we?" Twilight wondered.

Rarity cringed as she looked up at the cottage. "Clearly an area in need of some interior designers."

"This has gotta be Discord's place!" Pinkie exclaimed.

"Oh, well that makes sense."

"It wasn't supposed to!"

Everyone turned around in shock to see the draconequus standing over them. Rainbow Dash looked up in abject horror and slowly fluttered down to the cobblestone path, bolting to rarity's side.

Discord rolled his eyes. "Well, I was going to let you see her, but if that's the way you're going to behave…"

"Slow yer roll there hoss, what's goin on?"

"Didn't you get the invitation?"

He tugged the parchment out of Spike's claw using his magic. Pinkie leaned forward to read it again.

"You mean…?" Her eyes slid down the wall of her skull dropping like a sack of loose muscle. They dilated with anticipation. "BIRTHDAY PARTY!"

As she screamed, she launched into the air and fireworks exploded behind her, creating a visceral display of every possible twitching emotion contained in the word "exitement." Discord scratched his head. How does she do that? Pinkie then rushed to the front door, bursting it open.

"Wha- my door! That's teakwood"

"Discord?" Fluttershy called as she entered the main hall. "Are they…?"

"FLUTTERSHY!"

Pinkie tackled her into a hug, giving Fluttershy no chance to escape. The others galloped to her every angle and squeezed her like they would never feel again.

"Fluttershy!" Rarity exclaimed. "You're alright!"

"Girls! Spike!" Fluttershy said, tears coming into her eyes. "I missed you so much! I…" She choked as Pinkie squeezed tighter. "Can't…breathe…"

"Oops!" the pink pony blushed, not very noticeably, backing away with the others. "Sorry, I just can't believe it's you! I thought I'd never see you again and that you'd never get to see what I got you for your birthday…" She gasped dramatically. "Your birthday! Quick, close your eyes!"

"Why do I have to…?"

She was cut off as Pinkie tied a blindfold around her head. "One second!"

Fluttershy heard a few familiar blasts before the cloth was removed. The room was now walled with balloons, streamers and other party decorations.

"How did you…?" she started to ask, but she already knew the answer.

"I never go anywhere without my party cannon!" Pinkie chimed, bringing the object into view.

"oh hey, I love that band!" Discord panted out as he caught up to the six of them and spike.

She strapped a birthday hat onto Fluttershy's head, laughing as the strap poofed her expanse of hair every which way. Pinkie started up the gramophone.

"Let's party! This is my mixtape, I made it when I had that big hide-and-seek birthday bash a few years back!"

The music rang throughout the rooms, funky 8-bit tunes filling the ears with wonder and joy.

But instead of dancing, the ponies fed Fluttershy a million questions.

"Have you been kept safe?" Rarity asked.

"How are the animals?" inquired Applejack.

"How do you not get dizzy in here?" Rainbow questioned, glancing around the distorted room.

"Are you married yet?" Spike asked, looking at the engagement ring. "He seems so different!"

"Does he know pi?!" Pinkie inquired eagerly.

"Whoa, girls!" Twilight exclaimed, silencing them. "Give her some space!"

Fluttershy summed it up. "Yes, he's kept me safe in the forest, and we're not married yet. Actually, Discord's treated me quite well. He's really…sweet."

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow. "You've got to be kidding me."

"We brought you here, didn't we?"

Twilight giggled, trying to lighten the mood. "What does it matter? It's Fluttershy's birthday. We should be celebrating!"

The Duchess began her awkward dancing, which everyone stared at for a while. She was so careless and free, she almost resembled that mare from Seingeld. Then they shrugged and danced themselves. In between songs, Fluttershy received updates on every pony's lives.

Rainbow Dash couldn't see her feelings for applejack being requited, so she didn't want to infringe on their friendship and dating status with rarity. Fluttershy snickered as she explained this. How aloof this filly could be! She'll be over the moon if applejack says something!

"sometimes I just see her, and we're cuddling with rarity, and I see the way she looks at her and-GOSH! She makes my heart race like when I'm flying! She's so headstrong and caring, and I just wanna take her out to treat her, y'know? Real classy just for her! wanna surprise her with something hoity toity. Like, hey! I got us a bucket of chicken! Wanna date?"

Fluttershy nearly cackled, "That's not fancy at all!

The blue pegasus rubbed the back of her neck. "It's a self proof thing. I wanna prove I'm the type mare she'd like! Like rarity!"

"I'm sure she likes how different you three are, and you don't have to get fancy for her!" Fluttershy giggled!

"Well," Rarity interjected, "I think this relationship is much sweeter and more genuine than that with blueblood! I just anticipate seeing my mares every day!"

"have you been taking those vitamins rarity?"

"Oh yes! They've worked wonders for my mane! And don't worry, applejack and rainbow dash already know. They were elated! I think I'm really gonna spend my life with them!"

She buried her head in fluttershy's embrace, squealing and tapping her hooves, blushing madly.

Seeing rarity pratter on about her love made spike's heart crumble, and slowly wash together again seeing her smile so hard and celebrate so sporadically that her mane frizzed.

The earth pony glanced at the dragon on the other side of the room, freaking it sensitive style as he watched in bitter-sweet pining. She lay a hoof on his little head, so tender and mild was the baby boy. Her eyes never exceeded the far off gaze.

"it wasn't meant to be spike. But something is. And I can't wait until you find it, Angel boy."

He smiled up at her so burning and gratifyingly, earnest as if to say "her love is my love. Thank you for showing me this."

"Who wants to play Pin the Tail on the Pony?" Pinkie called, throwing a blindfold around Fluttershy's eyes again. "Birthday girl goes first!"

As the afternoon went on, Fluttershy enjoyed her friends' company as they played more games and caught up with one another. One after the other, operation, clue, monopoly, Texas hold'em! It was after the third round of candyland that fluttershy's attention averted to the draconequus cutting it up in the corner.

She excused herself from her friends and flew up to him.

"Thank you, Discord," she said with a smile, "for bringing my friends here."

His expression changed at the sight of her. "You're welcome."

"You don't have to sit here all day. Why don't you join us?"

"I think your friends," he pointed at the ponies, baring his teeth in a way that wasn't anger, but unsureness. Q"would not appreciate that."

She was about to say something when he slid his arm around her. "Have you told them yet?"

Fluttershy blinked. "Told them what?"

He chuckled, playfully twirling the ring on her neck. "Have you really forgotten already?"

She looked down at the ring and blushed. "Oh."

She had been so excited about seeing her friends, she had forgotten the reason they were here in the first place.

"N-no, I…

"We should do it together! We wanted them here?"

"I…it's just…"

They were interrupted by Pinkie, who had bravely approached the draconequus. "Hey, Discord! You wanna play Twister with us?"

He stared at the pink pony, shocked at the invitation and then stood up. "Alright, but I warn you, I'm the world champ!"

Pinkie snorted. "As if!"

"Is that a challenge?"

"Only if you're up for it!"

"Oh, it's on!"

Before following the pony, he turned back to his fiancé. "We have to, to rewrite the deal!"

The ponies erupted in jeers and competitive whoops! Overlapping voices gave way to reveal rainbow's epic shouting.

"IM TAKING ALL BETS, 9-2 ON PINKIE, THE MARE WITH THE FLAIR, THE GREAT PINK HOPE!!"

Only Pinkie, Dash, and twilight were bold enough to go against Discord in Twister. Thanks to his long snake-like body he was able to defeat them with ease. While Pinkie called for best two out of three, Fluttershy pulled Applejack aside. Since she was the one she had confided in before, she felt more confident telling her first.

"I'm glad to see you're gettin' along fine, Shug," the southern pony sighed. "I don't know what you've been doin' the past month, but Discord seems a might different. I'm surprised he let us come here."

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about, Applejack," Fluttershy whispered. "You see, the reason we brought you here is…um…"

"Because it's your birthday?"

"No…well, sort of, really wanted to see you and this was a really special occasion.."

Applejack laid a hoof on her shoulder. "Take it easy, lovebug, Whatever you have to say, say it."

She took a deep breath. "I…I want to rewrite the treaty."

"Oh, um…great?"

"I need you girls at the wedding in the next 12 moons!"

Silence fell over the room and Fluttershy realized that she had shouted that last part. Pinkie fell from her position and Discord pumped his fist.

"Yes! Victory!" He then noticed the glares he was receiving. "Oh, come on, don't be sore losers!"

"You're marrying him in 12 moons?!" Rarity uttered.

"Oh, so you've told them!" He teleported to his fiancé's side and threw his arm around her. "Yes, our big day is in almost two weeks and you're all invited! The four of you can be bridesmaids, the foals can be the flower girls, the dragon can be the ring bear or whatever it is and Princess cranium can perform the service!"

Twilight's jaw dropped in horror. "You want me to…to…marry you two?!"

"You can't do that,I'm marrying her!" He cackled!

"Um, Discord?" Fluttershy said softly. "Could you let me talk to them?

"Oh, sure, go ahead! Who's stopping you?"

"Alone?"

"ooh, gotcha!"

Once he had vanished, Fluttershy floated down to her friends.

"That was awfully rude of you."

"Rude?!" every pony exclaimed.

"You're marrying that monster so soon!!" Rarity cried. "How do you expect us to react?"

"But you know I'm engaged to him," Fluttershy pointed out.

"We didn't…" Rainbow stammered. "We didn't expect it to happen now! And…now you want us to be a part of it?!"

"I thought you'd want to come to my wedding."

"Not when it means watching you get married to a monster!"

Fluttershy stomped her hoof defensively, "monster us subjective! And from what I've been shown I know that if he's a monster, than so are we!"

"He took you away from us!"

"It was my decision to come and stay, and I had my bargains respected!"

"how can you be so accepting of this?!"

"Because he's my friend! And he's a good pony! And if I had the choice to spend the rest of my life with anyone else I wouldn't take it, not for a million billion bits!!!"

She trailed off and realized that she had already said too much. Applejack raised an eyebrow at her flushed cheeks, more flushed than usual. She knew that look.

"Are you…in love with him?"

Rarity huffed. "Don't be ridiculous, Applejack, she just said they were best friends!"

"Yeah," Rainbow laughed. "But I call you my best friend by habit sometimes!"

Rarity gasped infiginified

"He's fun and all," Pinkie chimed, "but you can't really-

"Fluttershy, you can't be serious! He tried to take over Equestria! Three times!"

"He practically keeps you prisoner!"

"He threatened the princesses!"

"He beat me at Twister!" Pinkie shouted.

"GET OFF HER FLANK!!!"

Silence permeated throughout the walls. A hollow and yet shallow steady beat of breath rattled through the baby dragon standing defiantly above the ponies. His chest rose and his head pelted back, as arms rested at his sides, hoisting himself up upon a bench. Fluttershy stuttered,

"So you don't…?"

"I know that in a lotta places, dragons like me would be irredeemable monsters. Heck, some places don't allow us in! And while yeah uh.. few of us are, the one big thing we can use to turn back their path or like, prevent it maybe, is FRIENDSHIP."

Twilight felt the corners of her mouth perk up like they were tied with string, tears pricking her eyes. Her baby boy, her little man, her other half...

He was gonna tell her teachings better than she could one day, and she couldn't be prouder.

"I believe her. Princess Luna can be changed, and love beats up evil. If we don't practice what we preach, then what's the point of being at our friend's birthday?!"

...

As his valiant words echoed throughout the room, Fluttershy's heart sank. Her friends lost their anger as tears streamed down her face. Twilight held out her hoof.

"Fluttershy, we… I wanna hear what you have to say. I want to hear you out."

Rarity sat back and listened,giving her warmest smile, squeezing spike in adoration. Rainbow flew to her side and quirked her head smirking warmly,and inquisitivly. Applejack rested her head in their laps. Pinkie leapt from her previous position and hugged fluttershy.

"For the record, I think it's a pretty metal story tell your kids. Stretch out that ten minute story for eight years and you can get a sitcom out it." Rainbow commented.

Fluttershy buried her head in her hooves. Betwixt her grasp was a smile that flexed no muscles. Her hair was frizzy and unkempt, her limbs shook like a elm in a drought. Her nerves shot as if through a rivet gun. The queasiness never subsided, her bones were glass and her skin was paper.

She couldn't feel any of it as she embraced her friends.

"you never opened your present..."

"Oh! Of course!"

As she bore into the delicately wrapped gift, revealing to herself a jade and rose quartz comb, etched with love it read, "born to love, live to create." Fluttershy was downright crying at this point, no conclusion she could come up with was coherent enough to exact her spirit.

Fluttershy heard a grunt and looked up to see the draconequus standing over her. Despite the circumstances, she was happy to see him, for now he was here to comfort her. Her joy turned into suspense as she noted the nervous smile cracking across his face. His hands were clenched to the sides, and his eyes were glaring into the scene with remorse.

Life at Sweet Apple Acres

a short appledash fic i wrote after having a need to read more of them in the future being old and married but there was a noticeable lack of exactly that :’) so enjoy! (i’ll update this with an ao3 link once i get an account lol)

In all her years, Rainbow Dash never believed that she would find home on a farm. Especially not Sweet Apple Acres. She’s sworn multiple times that if she ever got a chance to speak to her younger self, she would never believe her. Sure, being a veteran Wonderbolt and coaching the next generation at the academy, that one was a no-brainer, but living on a farm? Rainbow had to chuckle to herself when thinking about what that conversation would be like. As she’s curled up into her designated seat in the living room, she zones back in on her book. It’d been a while since she read through the Daring Do series, her last meeting with Twilight finally tipping her over the edge and giving in.

Rainbow practically had the pages memorized, Daring Do being really the only series she’s read in its entirety. She remembers back when A.K. Yearling had tried out different genres and published several more successful books after retiring as Daring Do. Rainbow, as her friend, made sure to read all of them as soon as they were released. But it was the original Daring Do series that still held a special place in her heart after all these years. She didn’t get very far in her reading though, as the golden sunlight was shining through the window and onto her seat, slowly putting Rainbow to sleep. It only felt like she had just closed her eyes when the door to the kitchen slammed open and the peace in the house seemingly ended.

Big Mac, Sugar Belle, and their son, Crispin Cake, were all bustling about in the kitchen. Thursday was one of their nights for making dinner, and each of them liked to do it all together. Rainbow marked her place in her book and stretched in her chair, yawning loudly to announce her presence. Sure enough, Crispin leaned out the doorway and smiled.

“Hi, Aunt Dashie!” He waved his hoof enthusiastically.

Rainbow waved back, leaning back with one hoof behind her head. “Hey, kiddo. What’s for dinner?”

“I think Mama said we’re having spaghetti tonight!”

“That sounds good, bud,” she suddenly sits up, eyebrows knit with slight concern. “Have you seen AJ? I came home early and thought she’d be out apple bucking, but I haven’t seen her.”

“I think Auntie Jack was over at the animal sanctuary, helping out Fluttershy.” The colt tapped his chin like he was trying to remember.

Rainbow smiled slightly. “That’s probably what’s taken her so long. I bet she’s having to wrangle all of Angel’s kids.”

The pegasus finally got out of her seat, cracking her back and her wings as she did so, and followed her nephew into the kitchen. While Big Mac and Sugar Belle did the cooking, Rainbow helped Crispin set up the table.

“Daddy, do you know if Auntie Applebloom is coming?”

“Eeyup.”

The colt’s smile grew as he went to grab an extra plate. It was clear that he loved his aunts, but he always got excited when he knew Applebloom would be joining them, since she lived closer to town and was usually at the School of Friendship a majority of the time.

Sugar Belle turned the temperature down on the sauce and looked back towards Rainbow Dash. “I hope we didn’t wake you Rainbow, we didn’t realize you were home.”

“Eh, don’t worry about it,” she shrugged, setting down a fork and a spoon. “Practice ended earlier than expected, and instead of starting the next exercise, I just decided to let the recruits have the rest of the day off. But they won’t get it so easy tomorrow when I bring out the Dizzy-tron!”

“It sounds like everything’s been going well with this new batch then?”

“Oh yeah, much fewer show offs and a lot more ponies who actually want to be in the academy.”

After a few more minutes of comfortable silence, Applebloom came bursting through the kitchen door. “I’m here! I’m here! I’m not late, am I?”

“Not at all,” Sugar Belle smiled. “Dinner’s almost ready.”

“Mm, smells like spaghetti!”

It was well after everypony had their plate and was halfway done with their food by the time the kitchen door opened again and in came Applejack, looking frazzled and sweaty.

“Sorry I’m late, y’all,” she said, wiping her forehead, embarrassed. “Hope y’all don’t mind, but I invited Fluttershy over as well.”

The pegasus followed behind sheepishly, even as everypony responded with “there’s enough room”, or “we have plenty to go around”.

“Thank you so much for having me,” Fluttershy said as she sat between Applebloom and Rainbow.

“Been a hot sec,” Rainbow stretched a wing out and pulled Fluttershy in closer for a hug. “How’s the sanctuary been?”

“Oh, wonderful as always.”

“Yeah, ‘cept for all of Angel’s kin. Of all rabbits to multiply, that one knew what he was unleashin’.” Applejack finally sat down after washing her hooves and serving herself a plate. She reached down for Rainbow’s hoof and kissed it, keeping hold of it while she ate.

“And how’s that pesky roomie of yours,” Applebloom added, leaning towards Fluttershy, still under Dash’s wing. “Discord been behavin’ himself?”

“Of course he has,” she paused. “Although he did finally learn how to do the dishes correctly.”

“He doesn’t know how to do the dishes?” Applejack asked between bites. She looked appalled.

“Oh, no, no, he does, it was just… how he did them.”

Rainbow let her go, leaning on one hoof to face her friend. “Which was?”

Fluttershy smirked at the thought. “He would put them in the soapy water, but they would come out dirtier. All this time, I thought he was leaving a pile of dirty dishes, and when I would clean them, he would see the clean dishes and think they would need to be ‘dirtied up’. It went on for a long time until I was in the kitchen when he was doing the dishes and finally noticed.”

Everypony stared at the pegasus as she giggled at the mishap. How she’s managed to live with Discord, nopony knows, but it’s somehow worked for years now and neither friend has ever said anything negative about the other. They didn’t make sense, but as the draconequus always said, what fun is there in making sense?

Dinner continued, Applebloom was asked about how her job at the School of Friendship was going, Crispin told a long story about an adventure he had with Lil’ Cheese, and Sugar Belle updated everyone on how her village was doing after her most recent visit. The sounds of laughter and chatter filled the barn as it always has, decades of old memories within the walls. Eventually it grew late, and Fluttershy felt like she had overstayed her welcome, even though she never did. She tapped three times on the table and an unzipping sound could be heard from the living room, along with a flashing blue and purple glow. She said her goodbyes and stepped through the portal. The family moved into the living room, and as it grew later, Crispin couldn’t hide his yawning anymore, indicating it was time for bed. He gave everyone a sleepy goodnight hug, making sure Applebloom’s was extra tight, and headed upstairs for bed. The two couples and the little sister were left, and even when living together for so long, they still had plenty of stories to share, enough to go well past midnight.

“Applesauce, is that the time?” Applejack said, looking up at the clock. “Sugarcube, are you stayin’ the night here? It's pretty late.”

“Oh, no, I was plannin’ on headin’ back after dinner. Mighta got carried away though with the talkin’.”

“Walk back to your place? At this hour?”

“Well, yeah,” Applebloom said nonchalantly. “I’m not a baby Applejack, I can go by myself.”

Rainbow could tell Applejack tensed when she said that, but then quickly eased up. “You’re right. Sorry, sugarcube, sometimes I still feel like you’re that little filly. I’ll walk ya’ out.”

Applebloom smiled as she got up to hug her brother and Sugar Belle and then Rainbow. “Have a good night, y’all.”

Applejack was outside with Applebloom for a long time, most likely not wanting her to go. Rainbow knew she missed having her little sister there all the time like when she was growing up. She remembers how distant Applejack was for the first few weeks after Applebloom moved out. Even though she just lives near the center of town with Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, and still visits the farm regularly, Rainbow was still able to tell that Applejack missed her.

Once Applebloom was finally allowed to leave, Applejack came back in, curling up next to Rainbow. Their nightly routines were set and tonight was no different. Big Mac and Sugar Belle usually said their goodnights and headed for bed first, which left the two mares alone in the living room.

Applejack sat up to look at Rainbow, then leaned in to kiss her. “Haven’t properly said hello tonight.”

“I was starting to wonder,” Rainbow teased, kissing her forehead as she snuggled in closer. “Sounds like you had a rough time wrangling?”

“Well, y’know, I’m not built like I once was,” Applejack said, mostly jokingly. “I’m just worn out tonight, ‘sall.”

Rainbow wrapped her wing around her partner, who promptly used it as a blanket. The pegasus rolled her eyes. “We can go to bed, too, y’know?”

“I guess we could.” Applejack smirked as she reached a hoof up to Rainbow’s cheek. Right as she leaned into the touch, the hoof quickly moved to boop her snout, and Applejack was quick to wrestle herself out from under Dash’s wing and onto her hooves. “C’mon,” she said with a smile and tired eyes.

Entering their room, Rainbow took off her sweater and tossed it onto the nearby chair while Applejack took off her Granny Smith’s bonnet around her neck and placed it carefully on the dresser. She then took off her hat and shook her head of whatever dust or dirt was caught up there from a day’s work. Rainbow came up behind her, knowing she’ll ask to take the pin out from her hair. Applejack still kept her mane long, but more often than not would have it braided and tucked into a bun. Rainbow herself had kept her mane around the same length for the longest time, as if she made it a competition to see who could stand it longer. Apparently, Applejack was never a part of this imaginary competition. The day Rainbow finally chopped her hair off was the day she decided she would never grow it out again. Having a short mane felt much better, especially when flying, and she thought it looked good on her. Applejack’s reaction was confirmation enough when the pony’s face turned redder than her brother’s coat when she first saw Rainbow after her haircut.

She looked down at her partner’s mane as her wavy blonde hair unraveled from its braid. It was frizzy, stuck out in some places, and there were shimmers of silver here and there, but she loved it all the same. Looking at their reflection in the mirror on the dresser, she caught Applejack’s eye and pressed a kiss to the top of her head.

As the two crawled into bed, it was quiet enough outside for Rainbow to hear the distant sound of howling. She didn’t question it and got under the covers, leaning herself against Applejack’s chest, who was sitting propped up on a pillow. Rainbow’s eyelids were growing heavy and she was ready to fall asleep when she felt hitched breathing coming from the other. She looked up to see what was the matter only to find quiet tears rolling down her wife’s cheeks.

Rainbow quickly sat up, cupping her hoof around her cheek. “What’s wrong?” She tried as hard as possible to sound gentle when speaking.

Applejack merely shook her head, looking down at her hooves beginning to bunch up the sheets piled in her lap. It was easy to tell she was too upset to speak, so Rainbow could only sit and watch with concern, waiting for something to be said. Applejack allowed her breathing to even out for a moment so she could say:

“The timberwolves are howlin’.” Her voice was shaky and as soon as she spoke her breathing resorted to gasps again. That was all Rainbow needed to hear though, because she knew. That was the first sign. Zap apple season is beginning. And it was the first harvest since losing Granny Smith.

“Oh,” she said quietly, reaching to wipe her tears away. “I- I’m sorry, hon’, I wish- I wish there was a better way we could predict it- I-”

“No, it’s alright,” Applejack said, wrapping a hoof around the other’s, taking a deep breath. “I knew the time would come eventually. Guess I was less prepared than I thought.”

Rainbow moved again to wipe the tears from her face. While she wasn’t in the family as long, Granny Smith still made her feel as much a part of it when she began dating Applejack. Rainbow was convinced that Granny considered her family before she ever even thought of being with Applejack. Granny was such an unstoppable force in the family, always making sure things got done, always providing for her grandchildren. Her impact was definitely felt when she passed.

“AJ, I know you know how much Granny loved you, loved all three of you.”

Applejack sniffed. “She loved you, too.”

“Heh, well, this isn’t about me right now.” Rainbow lifted her chin up so she could look her partner in the eyes. “Granny always wanted the best for all of you, and I saw how much she’s done for this family. She was such a strong pony, and she raised some strong ponies, too. And it’s because of that that I want you to know, it’s okay to be upset over this. I never want you to bottle something like this in. Losing someone sucks, especially somepony like Granny, that’s for sure. But, if I know her, she wouldn’t want to see you upset over her. I can practically hear her right now if she knew you were sad.” Applejack looked down again briefly, but her tears had stopped.

“Life is full of firsts, and this is no different. And I know it won’t get any easier as those firsts become seconds or thirds or so on, but I think it can also become a time to remember and look back on the good times you’ve had. We may not have Granny anymore, but she’s still with us in our memories and in what she’s left behind.”

Applejack looked up, her eyes still shining. Rainbow gave a small smile and Applejack leaned in, hugging her wife. Rainbow wrapped her arms around her, rubbing a hoof up and down her back as she squeezed tighter. When Applejack pulled away, she wiped her face and took a deep breath.

“Thank you, sweetheart. It’ll definitely be hard without Granny, but you’re right. I’ll have Big Mac and Applebloom, and of course you n’ Sugar Belle, and lil’ Cripsin. Granny wouldn’t want to see any of us upset, especially durin’ zap apple season.” She laughed slightly. “She’d tell us we don’t have time for that.”

Rainbow smiled at that, nodding. The two paused, taking a moment to themselves. After a while, Rainbow faced Applejack again and reached up to push her hair away from her face, her hoof lingering against the side of her head. It seemed what she said did the trick, Applejack wasn’t crying anymore. Her cheeks were flushed and she leaned into the touch sleepily, shutting her eyes. It was so rare to see her wife cry, and it in turn upset her as well. But Rainbow knew she needed to be the voice of reason at a time like this. It was more important to her that Applejack felt better. Applejack, whose head was currently getting heavier on Rainbow’s hoof.

“Well, I say we get some shut-eye. Gonna be pretty busy for the next few days,” she said quietly and the two slid further under the covers. Taking hold of Applejack’s hoof, Rainbow continued. “If you want, before I head up to the reserve, I can go into town and find Applebloom to tell her the harvest is starting. I know she’ll be excited to start making zap apple jam.”

Applebloom was really the only pony in the family who knew all the steps Granny did when it came to making a successful batch of zap apple jam. That was always a special time for the two to work together.

“Y’know, I reckon Crispin will be able to help out Applebloom in makin’ the jam this season,” Applejack said, a small smile on her face at the thought of her nephew. “He’ll love gettin’ to do that with her.”

“Another first right there,” Rainbow said, a smug edge to her voice.

“Alright, I believe you’ve made your point,” Applejack rolled her eyes and lightly kicked Rainbow’s leg. “Thank you, though. I needed to hear that.”

“That’s what I’m here for.”

“It’s much more than just that,” Applejack said, scooching closer to the pegasus and kissing her. “I love you. So much.”

Rainbow smiled, taking Applejack’s hoof and kissing it, then her forehead. As she pulls back, she takes a moment to simply look at her wife. Years of teasing and competitions, small looks and quiet gestures, long nights filled with laughter and heartaches, and a friendship evolving into romance and so much more. They’ve been through so much together, but Rainbow wouldn’t know where she would be without it all. It’s not a life she ever expected, but it’s one she wouldn’t trade for the world. Especially if it was spent with the pony next to her.

“I love you, too.”

i bet fluttershy secretly gets off super hard when rarity bends her over and pounds her phat BWC loving booty in public

That bimbo slut can't even answer the question because Rarity's currently in the middle of raping her enormous BWC addict cock with her enormous white slutbreeding cock. That phat ass sloshing every time Rarity thrust all the way inside was perfect for making her ass clap and get fucked like the bimbo slut Flutteryshy is, she loves BWC so much that her booty can't resist it and she constantly gets fucked by that hung fucking stud whenever Rarity gets horny and wants to fuck her into a moaning slut. There's tons of girls standing around watching but all any of them can think about is how jealous they are and how badly they want to be the ones getting bleached by Rarity's BWC.

[flowerbloom-arts]

Well howdy! I hope you know without you my mind wouldn't be this plagued with visions about the whole Muddler familia and every moomin character in general. Like none of my fixations lasted longer than my moomin one, and you're the one to blame

(and I mean this in the most affectionate way possible, if I have to tell you how inspiring and incredibly talented you are at art and giving me The Thoughts a hundred more times to make this very earth explode, you bet Muddler's ass I will, it's a promise)

My question is: Who is your favorite fictional antagonist of all time and why? Or Who is your favorite moomin OC of all time and why?

First of all: Good. (And thank you)

>:]

Second: Ooooo good questions!

There are ALOT of antagonists over the years, and so many of them fit so many different niches I enjoy that I can't simply pick one. Heck, I'm kinda blanking on a few just trying to come up with an answer. So I'm going to divide them into categories (sorry if most of these are Disney I'm sadly a big Disney fan at heart, I also may be forgetting a few things):

Evil family: Lady Tremaine (Cinderella), Mother Gothel (Tangled)

Both of these are evil non-bio mothers, I know, bug they're so realistically evil in their evil motherliness but in different ways.

Tremaine had a big case of cruel favoritism that upheld her 2 biological daughters over her step-daughter who she turned into their servant. She's a very terrifying and cunning force to be reckoned with and Cinderella 2 and 3 added alot to her character without taking away her fear factor which is difficult to find in other Disney sequels but they really nailed it with her.

Gothel needed a tight grip on her adopted daughter only for her personal gain and did everything in her power to keep it that way. She was such a charismatic character that you could see why Rapunzel saw her as a mother and how well she was able to trap her, not by fenced windows but by making her believe the world is no place for her (it's honestly terrifying to hear real mothers trying to say she really loved Rapunzel and she shouldn't have been villainized and killed but I digress). And Tangled: the Series added another layer of screwed up to her character with giving her Cassandra for a biological daughter and adding even more to how obsessed and self-centered she was.

Antagonist to friend: Teru (Mob Psycho 100), Clarabelle Cow (Mickey, Donald, Goofy and the Three Musketeers), Discord (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic)

Teru really added to the series' theme of Powers Not Making You Special by having Main Character syndrome and then getting sense knocked into him after getting beaten up and seeing the whole world from space. He's a silly guy with a very serious side and I loved watching him throughout.

Clarabelle was uhm. Haha. I liked her alot while watching the movie. The writers adding an antagonistic side to her you don't see elsewhere was such a fun choice and she was a joy to watch. I also was a HUGE Goofy x Clarabelle shipper (don't @ me they are my one Disney OTP) and lemme tell you when that love song came on it became my favorite part of the movie. So glad they ended up together.

My Little Pony had alot of good reformed antagonists throughout the series but I had to pick Discord just because he's the most fun guy out of any of them, his friendship with Fluttershy was so sweet (and I was a very low-key Fluttercord shipper) and so was their friendship arc, but also watching him still be a pain in the rump for the other characters was a treat everytime. Honorable MLP mentions I wanna include are: Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie Lulamoon and Cheese Sandwich (although Cheese is a very minor one).

Friend to antagonist: Cassandra (Tangled: the Series)

Oh the fall she went through was so heartbreaking and her moon powers were so so sick. Her will-they-won't-they friendship with Rapunzel was very captivating and her whole Ball of Issues was great to watch. I rooted for her to come back to the light side so much and gaaahhhhh I loved her.

Flamboyant Villain: Hades (Disney's Hercules), Queen Chrysalis (My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic)

Disney has sooooo many great flamboyant villains that are so unapologetically evil but I had to pick Hades because I had a Greek Mythology phase as a kid (despite Disney's Hades being an obvious misrepresentation of the guy) and his interactions with Megara and his henchmen were the most hilarious I've seen. I would also like to honorably mention Jafar and Ursula for this.

Queen Chrysalis was one of my blorbos back in my MLP phase I think, I even made a daughter OC for her and had this whole backstory formed that connected her and Cadence - she was just so fascinating to me and I loved her from start to end. My Day Aria was a banger I had on repeat and her voice effects were cool and her design was awesome and just aaaaaaa everything about her!!!! I don't CARE if you don't think some stuff about her doesn't make sense or was poorly written, she's masterfully written TO ME!!!!

Ok finally, second question:

I think my favorite Moomin OC has to be the Confounder just by virtue of having the most content out of all of mine? I think about Moominpappa's parents ALOT still and plan to make a comic about them in the near(er) future but as of now I have Connie in the top spot for alot of reasons.
