do you think if there were hippocampus in FIM (and I haven't seen the last few seasons so maybe there are fdjghjf but anyway) do you think alicorns would also have mermaid tails on top of the other features? (not a drawing suggestion I just really like your worldbuilding and want to know how you'd go about it)

There are indeed hippocampus! They start appearing in My Little Pony The Movie (2017) (good movie) (sexy villain) (amazing villain song)

Alicorns do not have seapony (hippocampus) traits because current pantheon of ascended alicorns came from ponies with no seapony genes. Seaponies are not anatomically compatible for terrestrial species, so there are no seapony traits in the ponish trifecta.

Anyway. A hippocampus could ascend to godhood but it would be different from the terrestrial alicorns due to their different origins. In fact, the ocean is so much bigger than the land, who's to say there aren't giant queens lurking in the depths, able to control the tide and weather?

If Sun and Moon and Friends and Romance have gods, what about Life and Death? What about Family rather than just Romance/Friends? (Is Flurry Family?)

Also, how does this change some of the big battles in show? Like the first one of the Mane vs Nightmare?

So the interesting thing about Skyscraper gods verse is that it has mostly been equestria-centric. The gods ponies know of are Sun, Moon, Romance, and Friendship, yes. But there are more than ponies in this world.

They think that the only gods that exist are Alicorns, because they have ponycentric worldview. Ponies aren't the only creature that can ascend! They are not the first, nor will they be the last.

I don't have any concepts for other gods in Skyscraper Gods, yet, but I'm sure they exist.

Edit: I have since discovered the God of Life, an ancient giraffe named Boabab

In my personal world, which can be found at my other sideblog, @worldofvonder, there was a trifecta of gods, Life, Death, and Change. But something happened to one of the gods, which caused the whole world to become what it is.

I have extensive writings about Vonder's gods in the worldbuilding channel of my patreon discord server.

Which is also where you can see my drawings and not-yet finished works for Skyscraper Gods, including flurry heart, nightmare moon vs celestia, sunburst, and my elusive ocs, including angsty men tormented by visions, and gay furry cannibals.

I know how the battle of luna vs celestia goes down, but I do not know yet how twilight defeats nightmare moon a thousand years later. I will have to brainstorm with my patrons, hopefully I will see you there!

If you would like to donate and get access without involving patreon website, just let me know and we'll arrange something! For example if you want to give me $20 I'll just send you a server invite and check back in a year if you wanna stay!

I think it's ironic that Anne, who's probably the one in the trio who's the least interested in really understanding the world she's found herself in, is the one who's ended up as a full-on sorcerer's apprentice.

Oh definitely. Anne ends up paired with the most enigmatic secretive person on the planet. Honestly their first month or so of knowing eachother was just this vibe.

Val: Vell Anne, I suppose after all this time traveling together, you must vonder about my dark secrets.

Anne, sifting through her magazine for the hundreth time: Eh, not really. Oh Wait! Do you have some on again off again doomed romance with one of the criminals at the bazaar?

Anne, pointing at an Older Newt with a dangerous air about him: Is it that guy?!

Val, disappointed: ...No

Anne: Oh, lame.

Anastasia was sitting in front of a fire, just getting done with shooting zombies for the day. Her older brother, Nikolai, sitting behind her, messing with a strand of her curly ginger-brown hair that she had put down for the night, staring mindlessly into the flames.

Takeo was cleaning his katanas, Tank ran off to get more Juggernog, and Edward, well his usual. In his office hiding away from the world, working.

It was quiet and peaceful. A moment everyone cherished. A moment everyone got to relax and get the tension out.

Only, Tank came back, breaking the silence.

“Hey, Anya, Sauerkraut wants you in his office. Says he has something for you.”

Anastasia slightly smiled. She had grown feelings for the German doctor. And he was asking for her.

But Nikolai didn’t seem to like that.

“What could German want with you?”

Anastasia quickly put a straight face on, clearing her throat.

“I don’t know brother. But I’ll be fine.” She responded while getting up.

“Scream if you need us, Doll.” Tank said as she walked off, a silent two finger salute was all he received.

Anya ventured to the office. Seeing dim candle light on the floor and wall. She got to his door, knocking three times.

She heard small German mutterings, before she heard a “come in.”

Opening the door enough to let herself in, Edward looked up at the woman.

“Ah, Liebling! Dempshey did in fact relay my message.” Anastasia slightly blushed at the given nickname that he had given her a little while back. Back in the Giant.

She cleared her throat before speaking. Not really trusting her voice 100%. “Were you worried he’d be defensive and not send me?”

“Perhaps. But zhen again, he knows jou are jour own independent voman. Jou can handle jourself.”

Anastasia smiled at that, it took a while for the men to realize that when first meeting her, always protecting her. But then one close call really showed them she doesn’t need men to protect her, nor tell her what to do.

“Anyvays, I called jou here because Ich have made jou somezhing.”

She raised an eyebrow at this.

“The great Dr. Edward Richtofen, sentimental? No! I must be dreaming!”

“Haha. Very funny. Vill jou just come here?”

“I thought it was hilarious.” She responded walking up to him.

“So what you got, Doctor?” She asked looking at the table, displayed with guns. But these aren’t normal guns. These aren’t military appropriate. Guns that could send you to jail for war crimes.

“Zhese are all zhe vonder veapons we have. Most of zhem are ones jou already know, but zhere is one, zhat I have made specificly for jou. If jou so choose.” Edward picked up a beautiful silver and black gun with green accents displayed.

It was a nice rifle type shaped weapon. Something not too small, nor too big. It wasn’t light, but it wasn’t heavy. The beautiful art work was a marvel to look at. Anya could definitely tell, he had put a lot of work into it. He had made it to her perfect preference. Something to easily manage, something that had good shooting power with great ammo, and something that could match her personality and attire. It was perfect in her eyes.

“E-Edward, it’s beautiful.”

“I thought you could use a powerful weapon that fit your preference perfectly.”

Anya gently took it into her own hands. Edward watched her admire his work, moving the gun around, delicate hands tracing the designs.

Edward admired her cuteness. Admiring something so powerful and deadly. He could see the sparkles in her blue eyes. He saw the small smile she had. The orange candle light lite up her face, loose strands of hair framing her features beautifully. He saw just how beautiful she was and fell in love with her more.

He was brought back to reality when she cutely looked up at him.

“I undershtand if jou’d prefer shomething else-“

“I love it!”

Edward smiled.

He lead her to a small shooting range he had set up.

“It’s is called Supernova. It has zhe ability to shrink zhe target and explode. Give it a try.”

Anastasia pointed the gun at a clay pot, pulling the trigger, they watched at the pot shrunk and exploded into tiny clay pieces.

Anastasia looked at it in wonder and amazement. She looked up at Edward smiling wide. Edward smiled back. Adoring her child like giddiness.

“I take jou like it.”

“I love it! It’s amazing! The best gift I could ever have!” She happily hugs him.

The hug caught him off guard. But after a few seconds, he returned the hug. Protectively securing her in his arms. After a few seconds she pulled back. Making him disappointed.

She looked up to his blue/green eyes. She stood on her tippy toes, placing a hand on his chest, the other holding her gun at her side, planting a kiss on his cheek.

The German closed his eyes, planting the softness of her lips in his memory, hoping for more. When he opened her eyes, she stood normally, still smiling.

“Danke, hübscher.”

And with that she left the German speechless. His mouth hung open, a blushing mess and eyes slightly wide. After a while, Anastasia long gone, Edward smiled and went back to his work.

The three men saw Anya walk back, a new gun in hand. But what really caught their attention, was Anya’s loving smile on her face.

Leaving the men to look at each other.

I wrote this from @madcharlie77’s CoD zombies writing prompt. I decided to take my own little spin on it, making it fluffy.

Anastasia Belinski is my OC, I plan on doing more things with her, and I thought this could be a great way to start it.

If there is any mistakes, or if anything looks like it’s repeating, I apologize, this is my first time actually writing a fanfic away from a script to guide me. I tried making the characters personalities the same as in the game as best as I can. So please don’t come after me.

I hope you enjoyed!

Behind the Mask pt1

Hey! So I’ve been sitting on this idea for a few days and finally got the first part all typed out!

AU in which Egos used to be common, but most got killed off in a war that left the world basically dead except 1 walled city surrounded by wasteland. To keep egos from being created, no kind of art or creativity is allowed.

TW: This is going to deal with some angst and slightly darker tones, and I will do my best to tag and give warning up at the top like this, so just be prepared for it!

Hope you guys like it!

“Chase! Over here, quickly!”

Marvin could hardly hear anything through the sharp ringing in his ears, it was all so muddled. And it was way too dark to hear a damn thing. He began to feel himself slipping into the void, the voice above him only getting more distant.

When Marvin woke, he had absolutely no clue where he was. Only that it was bright and quiet. But not that annoying bright—no, it was sunlight. He would have appreciated the warm feeling on his toes if he weren’t aching in every single part of his body. Marvin propped himself up on his elbows and looked around.

“Fuck…” he immediately groaned at the horrid stiffness in his neck. Where was he, though? What had happened?

Marv skimmed his surroundings, but was met with a blur of crimson and dark oak. Damn his eyes. Maybe if he squinted just right…

A quick creak to his left broke Marvin’s focus, and he turned to see a man-shaped outline.

“Ah, good, you are avake. I am sorry if ve have scared you.”

Marvin was sure his face must have been a sight to behold; he definitely wasn’t expecting such a thick accent from his near-perfect twin. “Who are you?” he exhaled, eyebrows knit together—trying to remember. Why couldn’t he remember what happened?

“Ah, yes. My name iz Schneeplestein. Most of zhe ozhers call me Doc, zhough,” the other man explained himself before gesturing to the edge of the bed Marv was lying in. “May I?”

Marvin gave a quick nod, though Schneeplestein was already seating himself. He took that moment, while Schneep was in his field of “good” sight, to look the other man over. He took a few moments to study Schneep’s face, almost immediately realizing how similar their facial structures were… well, used to be.

“You must be vondering vhy you und I are nearly mirrors, yes?”

Marvin realized he had probably been staring. He offers another, slower nod. Schneeplestein settles himself further into the mattress, bringing one leg fully onto the bed so he could turn to face Marvin more completely.

“Vell… Do you know much about ze Ego vars?”

“I know there was a war that basically ended the world, and the survivors built the wall and the City inside it,” Marv answered as he sat up further, his voice much hoarser than he had meant it to be. Schneep quickly took to his feet, forgetting what he had said before.

“Do you feel pain, Marvin? Are you alright?”

Schneeplestein seemed really worried about him. But why? They hardly knew each other. Hell, Marvin wasn’t even sure how the other man knew his name. When Marvin finished assuring his doppelganger that he wasn’t in any sort of anything unbearable, Schneep took his seat once more and let out a deep breath.

“Okay… vhat vas I saying, again?”

“We look alike.”

“Ah, yes. Zhe Ego vars… Vhen a human takes on personality traits radically different from zheir own, an ego may be created. Most people create zhem in hard times—zhat ego is simply zheir darkness. Zheir dark zhoughts build up zhis darker version of zhemselves. Vell… long ago an ego sought to destroy zhe vorld, und he nearly succeeded. Und instead of punishing zhe ego individually, a group of zhe men decided all zhe egos must die… und here ve are now.”

Marvin noticed the melancholy look about the other man’s face, but pressed on. “So… Am I an.. ego? Or the other guy?”

“All of uz here are zhe egos. Zhere are six ov us all togezer, not including zhe original, zhough most of zhe time it vill be only zhe four of us here. You vill meet zhe ozhers vhen you are ready. Now… I vould like to ask you some qvestions, okay?”

Marvin twisted his sore body around to sit on the bed cross-legged. “Yeah, go ahead.”

Most of the questions were about what had happened to him, then an explanation of how ‘Jack’ had found him unconscious outside the City. At first, Marvin couldn’t remember exactly how it had happened. As Schneeplestein began directing his questions more toward the City instead of Marvin, though, the younger ego began to rememeber.

“I was banished… for….” Marvin started to tell him, but he suddenly lost the reason behind his exile, like it dropped off the tip of his tongue and rolled away. Marv let out a cry of anguish before ripping the blanket up out of the neat hospital corners it had been in and flung it at the wall opposite him.

A warm hand gripped his arm, “Hey. It iz okay; if somezhing bad happened, you may hav repressed it. You will remember soon enough, zhough. I do hav one more qvestion, zhough. But you do not hav to answer me.”

Marvin cocked his head to the side, waiting.

“May I ask vhat exactly happened here?” The doctor gestured across his eyes.

Oh, right. Marvin had forgotten that, too. He reached up to touch the marred skin about his eyes, running his middle and index fingers across the ridges where his skin had pulled into itself. He would rather not go into that. “Maybe some other time, Doc.”

“I only ask because I might be able to help fix. It is a burn scar, yes?” Schneep approached the question cautiously, reaching a hand out slowly, waiting for permission to touch the dark scarring across Marvin’s face. He couldn’t help but be fascinated—the burn was a stripe across his eyes, going from temple to temple in a perfect straight line.

“I said not now! I don’t want to talk about it!” Marvin snapped, drawing back from him immediately.

The doctor gave a sheepish smile in apology. “I am sorry, Marvin. I don’t mean to offend.”

Marvin looked back up to Schneeplestein’s hopeful eyes and couldn’t help but smile back. He felt as though he had known this man all his life. “I know. I’m sorry to snap it’s just not something I—”

Schneeplestein watched as the other fell silent for a while. He noticed the soft red glow in Marvin’s eyes. He must have been really focused on something.

“A mask. I was banished for creating a mask,” he finally answered the unasked question. Marvin remembered now. He had gone against the City’s biggest rule. Creativity in any form was strictly forbidden, though none of the inhabitants knew quite why. Based on his new knowledge of the wars, though, he assumed it had something to do with keeping Egos from being created.

“I just got so tired of the sideways glances…the children screaming when they saw me.. I’m not a monster, I just liked colors too much for their taste…. So they did their best to take them away…”

Marvin stewed in his thoughts for a while, running his fingers across his scar before swinging himself off the bed and onto his feet. “So, you guys have any food here?”

Schneeplestein recognized the subject change, which was fine. He wouldn’t press any further for now. “Yes, come vith me. Ve’ll get you introduced to zhe ozhers.”

Marvin froze in place. Right, the others. But, his face… “I don’t want to scare them.”

“Zhey’ve all seen you, Marvin. Und to be perfectly honezt, zhey were far more worried about if you vere okay zhan vezher your face looked different zhan zheirs.”

Marvin’s uneasy feeling didn’t go away, though. He couldn’t help it. He gave in, though, and followed the doctor.

Schneeplestein took this time to brief Marvin on the house and the others. The doctor explained that he, Chase, and Jack actually lived in the estate. Then there was Jackie, but he still lived in the City. With the ego laws in place, they had fled the City simply to survive. But Jackie was apparently an expert of disguise, so he was never caught.

“I vould say you vill meet him again eventually; he pops in from time to time to update us on everyzhing,” Schneep continued, though Marv could tell there was something off when the doctor talked about Jackie. Maybe worried? When Marvin asked, the doctor let out a bittersweet chuckle, but said no more of it.

Marv followed him down a flight of stairs. “God, this place is huge,” he murmured, trying to look around. Most of it was blurry, but he could tell a few things apart. That’s when he saw it. At the landing below this flight—a window that encompassed the whole wall. And all he saw was green. Marvin could make out trees and grass, and a few pops of color that he assumed were flowers. He stared out that window for what felt like eternity. The City had none of this—it was all stone and steam plants hissing. There were occasional flowers that grew up in the cracks, but that was the only reason he even knew what they were called.

Marvin wanted to go closer. He wanted to actually see them, instead of just assuming.

Meanwhile, Schneeplestein waited behind him. He had forgotten what it was like to come out of the city, knowing nothing but steam power and brass fittings. He smiled—he couldn’t wait to show Marvin his gallery, the way he stared at Jack’s gardens. He touched the other’s shoulder gently.

“Let’z go, Marvin. I smell dinner. We can go out there after, if you like.”

((Okay, huge props to @magic-marvin-protection-patrol for letting me anon and get this thing going! I hope you all liked it and I cannot wait to get more written like smiling might explode! Anyway, love you guys :* and tell me what you thought!))

Hetalia: The Lost World Part 11

The next day Germany was preparing a list for Iyong ju about training when Japan came into the living room. "Germany what are you doing?" asked Japan when Germany was finished writing things down on the list. "Hmm... I vas just finishing a list for today's training. In fact Japan jou're taking zhe day off vhile Italy vill be training" said Germany while Japan nodded. "I arso wirr be making smoothies with the fruit that I got" said Japan before heading to the kitchen. "Feliciano, I just don't want to" said Iyong ju who was coming down the stairs with Italy. "B-But Iyong ju, I-a want you to-a say so something to China!" cried Italy who was clinging onto Iyong ju.

When Iyong ju was trying to get a clinging Italy to let go of his leg, he noticed Germany. "Oh hey. I didn't know you were watching" said Iyong ju. "Zhat's okay. I have somezhing to show jou" said Germany as Iyong ju came over. "What is it?" asked Iyong ju before Germany gave him a piece of paper. "I made a list for jou just for today" said Germany as Iyong ju was looking at the list. "So you want me to go outside and train Italy?" asked Iyong ju while lowering the paper.

"Ja, I do. Since I overheard from Japan zhat jou trained both of zhem for two hours yesterday, I decided to have jou be zhe mentor" said Germany. "Feli, did you tell Ludwig about the different spell's that I know the other day?" asked Iyong ju while looking at Italy who was still clinging his leg. "Uhh... I-a kinda did. Because England had-a your blood samples" said Italy while giving a nervous smile. "So that British bastard managed to get samples from my own blood?" asked Iyong ju. "Si! He did" said Italy. "For what reason?" asked Iyong ju.

"So he can find a vay to leave jou defenseless" said Germany. "Well then I'll have a little talk with him after I'm done training Feliciano" said Iyong ju while crossing his eyes. "Wait what!? No, I-a don't what to train today!" yelled Italy as he quickly got up and started to cry. "Italy jou vill train vhenever jou like it or not!" yelled Germany. "B-But I-a don't wanna!" cried Italy. "Don't worry Ludwig, I'll handle this" said Iyong ju before grabbing Italy's collar and dragged him outside to train.

"I hope jou vill be able to handle zhis" said Germany before Japan came into the room with two smoothies in his hands. "Here Germany, I made this with the best fruit that I found" said Japan before giving one of cups to Germany. "Say Japan, iz it possible for Jason to copy voices of zhe people he turn into?" asked Germany before taking a sip of his smoothie. "It is possibre. I was amazed that he copied Prussia's voice when he took the appearance of him" said Japan. "How interesting. Speaking of Prussia, I vonder vhat mein bruder iz doing" said Germany.

~Meanwhile With Prussia~  

"Zhis iz zhe best awesome zhing zhat I had ever done in mein life" said Prussia who was running with Roland. "I never knew how much mein counterpart can get zhat angry" said Roland. "Get back here jou two dummkopfs und give me back mein glasses!" yelled Austria who was chasing both Prussia and Roland. "Vhy do jou even have glasses in zhe first place? Have jou tried contacts?" asked Prussia before laughing. "Not funny!" yelled Austria. While both Prussia and Roland were running it wasn't long till Hungary used her frying pan to hit Prussia.

"How dare you steal Roderich's glasses from him!" yelled Hungary as Prussia got up and Roland stop running. "Mein gott, aren't jou pretty" said Roland as Hungary looked at him in confusion. "Excuse me?" asked Hungary. "I never seen a voman zhat angry in mein life" said Roland. "Zhere jou are! I'll be taking back mein glasses now" said Austria before snatching his glasses back from Roland. "Roderich? Why are there two of you?" asked Hungary while looking at both Roland and Austria.

"Elizabeta, zhis me iz mein counterpart und he likes rock 'n' roll music instead of classical music" said Austria. "So then mister counterpart of Roderich, when you said you never seen a woman angry did you mentioned that you knew someone?" asked Hungary. "Vell tell jou vhat, I did know someone vho vas like jou. Zhat person vas jour counterpart, 2P Hungary" said Roland. "What?" asked Hungary. "I alvays loved her so much zhat I took her to concerts und she likes it vhen I play on mein guitar. All zhat changed vhen a var began und I grew concerned about her safety. So I quickly came to her country, just to see her" said Roland. "What happened next?" asked Hungary.

"Vhat happened vas zhe day vhen everyzhing changed before mein eyes. Vhen I came to her house, I looked evervhere for her. I soon found her in her room but I vas to late she vas dead und zhat's vhen I rejected everyzhing about life" said Roland. "Oh I'm so sorry about your pain. Did you even found out who was responsible for the war?" asked Hungary. "Nein, I haven't. I almost rejected everyzhing in mein path, zhat's vhen I laid mein eyes on jou. Jou remind me so much of jour counterpart, zhat it makes me rezhink zhat gruesome memory" said Roland. "Zhat's one sad story. By zhe vay I just got text message from mein bruder" said Prussia. "Vhat does he vant?" asked Austria. "He says zhat zhe unawesome England found somezhing" said Prussia while looking at his phone, till Roland grabbed it.

"Jou unawesome dummkopf, zhis message vas from yesterday! Veren't ve suppose to be at a meeting not to long ago?" asked Roland. "Umm... I usually don't care about meetings, if mein bruder iz running zhe show. But ve vere hanging out vith awesome vomen in Hawaii" said Prussia before smiling nervously. "Nein, ve vere at Costa Rica not Hawaii" said Roland. "Oh vhat's zhe difference?" asked Prussia. "So are jou guys like still on zhe subject of North Korea?" asked Austria. "North Korea!? He's one crazy madman with an appetite for vengeance. You guys shouldn't be messing with him" said Hungary.

"Umm... nein he isn't. I saw it vith mein own eyes zhat North Korea vas sad about his deceased bruder" said Prussia. "How can he be sad? I thought it was always impossible for him to cry or see him cry" said Hungary. "I zhought so too. But I guess it's now possible" said Austria. "England iz going nuts about North Korea und vishes to finish him off once und for all" said Roland. "What do you mean?" asked Hungary. "England blames me for saving his life, because he vas going to die in mein room due to the unawesome curse zhat vas placed on him" said Prussia.

"I guess he cursed North Korea for an important reason. In fact, North Korea can bring fear to almost anyone including Russia" said Austria. "I had enough of zhis conversation, ve should be heading back to China" said Roland. "Yeah, ve should. I vonder vhat crazy adventures mein bruder has in store" said Prussia. With that both Prussia and Roland left Austria and headed back to China.

~Meanwhile In Russia~

"Big brother, big brother! We should become one together and be happy. So why do you have to be a jerk all the time!?" asked Belarus in a scary tone while banging on Russia's door. Inside Russia is hiding in a corner hoping that Belarus will leave him alone. "You better open this damn door right now! You and I are going to get together, whenever you like it or not! So open up big brother!" yelled Belarus while scratching on Russia's door. "G-Go away, please!" yelled Russia who was scared to death due to presence of Belarus.

~SpongeBob Narrator Voice: Two Hours Later~  

When two hours had passed, Russia opened his eyes and figured that Belarus wasn't trying to break down his door. He than got up and walked over to his front door and carefully looked through the peak hole. Russia than saw Australia standing in front of his door and he opened the door. "Hi there, Ivan! I just came to say 'hi' and I even found this" said Australia as he hold up a unconscious Belarus. "Aye, what did you do to Natalia?" asked Russia. "I noticed that she was scratching on your door, so I just tranquilized her" said Australia with a smile.

"Oh thanks. She just needed a little rest anyway. Please come in" said Russia as Australia came inside Russia's house. Russia and Australia were talking the living room, while Belarus was still fast asleep. "So Ivan what have you been doing lately?" asked Australia. "Well I have been working on my relationships with the Baltics. So far everything is going peachy" said Russia. "Oh I see. I have been building relationships with other countries as well and most of them are pretty good" said Australia. "Gee, Mr. Russia has been talking with Mr. Australia for about an hour" said Latvia.

"It's not like I even noticed" said Estonia while on his laptop and Lithuania making coffee. "Ravis remember, Ivan is just trying to build relationships with us" said Lithuania. "Let's not also forget we have relationships with both Natalia and Irunya" said Estonia. "Do we even have a good relationship with Mr. Australia?" asked Latvia. "Of course we do" said Lithuania before his coffee was finished. Estonia was on his laptop, he than got a warning signal and looked right into it.

"Oh no, this isn't good" said Estonia while reading the signal. "What's not good?" asked Lithuania. "Promise me you two won't freak out, when I tell you" said Estonia. "We promise that we won't freak out" said Latvia. "It seems that this warning signal that I got, tells me that..." said Estonia before stopping. "Tells you what exactly? What does it say?" asked Lithuania.

"It tells me or should I say us, that North Korea..." said Estonia before stopping again. "North Korea what? What does it say about him?" asked Latvia. "He has returned" said Estonia. "For what reason?" asked Lithuania. "I... I don't know" said Estonia. "D-Do you guys remember our e-encounter with him? H-He a-almost killed Mr. Russia, with some sort of weapon" said Latvia who was freaking out.

"He was lucky that we were there and after that monster left or else Ivan wouldn't make it" said Lithuania while crossing his arms. "S-Should we tell M-Mr. Russia about this" said Latvia. "Ravis, do you even remember that Ivan was so scared of North Korea that he was begging for mercy?" asked Estonia. "Eduard, I think that Ivan while be able to handle the fact of North Korea returning" said Lithuania while Latvia nodded his head as to understanding. Soon the Baltic Trio left their lodge and headed to the living room, where they stopped at the door to hear both Australia and Russia talking. "It has a long time since I was ever afraid. I don't even recall one time" said Australia. "How long ago was that?" asked Russia.

"It's been decades after I became an official country, until what happened to me not too recently" said Australia. "When did it happened?" asked Russia. "Perhaps after the events of the Korean War and before the time of the Vietnam War" said Australia. "How interesting. Care to tell me the details?" asked Russia with a smile. "Well where should I begin?" asked Australia.

*Flashback*

It was a sunny day, after the events of the Korean War it already the start of the mid 1960s.

Australia was preparing his day of work after sealing a animal rights foundation to save wildlife and mostly kangaroos from being hunted. When Australia was at his office getting ready to leave, his secretary came in. "Yes, what do you need?" asked Australia. "I just came to tell you that you will be attending a meeting" said the secretary. "What kind of meeting?" asked Australia. "It's a trading meeting with another country and it is very important not to miss" said the secretary.

"Okay then, prepare the meeting" said Australia and the secretary did what she was told. Australia had met up with his vice trading president for the meeting with the so called other country. "So Pryce, who are we meeting up with?" asked Australia. "Well Mr. Australia, we were given reports that a war had came and ended since the 1950s" said Pryce. "What war was it?" asked Australia while raising a brow. "It was called the Korean War and after it ended one country in particular is trying to build relationships with other countries as some sort of apology" said Pryce.

"Oh I see. What country would like to build a relationship with me?" asked Australia. "That country would be North Korea" said Pryce. Soon both Australia and Pryce went to a trading warehouse where they met with North Korean officials and authorities. "Greetings there, how are you? My name is Chin-Mae and this is Eui" said Chin-Mae as Eui who was standing next to him waved. "What do you guys do and what are your positions?" asked Australia. "While I'm North Korea's private translator and I'm his assistant" said Chin-Mae.

"I'm North Korea's most trustworthy secretary and his first class business manager" said Eui. "Oh okay then, that's cool. So where is North Korea?" asked Australia. "My sincere apologies, I was a little late getting here. So let's get down to business" said North Korea as he stepped forward. "So you're North Korea. Now what brings you here to my humble of home?" asked Australia. "I'm here to build on my relationships with other countries and my assistants told me that your country has a great trading spot. So I was thinking we should build rules to follow them and both live peacefully" said North Korea ending his sentence with a smile. "Hmm... I suppose we can be allies. But we must look at both the positives and the negatives" said Australia.

"Okay then. What are the positives?" asked North Korea. "The positives are very reasonable and we can get along very smoothly" said Australia. "Well that is true, I guess. So what are the negatives then?" asked North Korea. "Well that's just it. If you were the one who started the Korean War and than lost to it, I just can't side with a losing country. I only side with a losing country unless it's a very important war" said Australia. "Are you trying to say that the Korean War wasn't important to you that you can't side with me and be an ally?" asked North Korea while his smile disappeared. "Technically speaking... yes I just can't" said Australia nervously.

"And why can't you?" asked North Korea. "Because between you and me, you're kind of acting like a jerk" said Australia while showing off a nervous smile. "Well then" said North Korea. "I also want to point out that your kinda acting like Ger...." said Australia before stopping and quietly chocked at the end of his sentence. "Who do you think that I'm acting like to you?" asked North Korea while looking at Australia while evil eyeing him. "You're acting like... Germany" said Australia trying not to upset North Korea.

"I. AM. NOTHING LIKE THAT MAN!!!" yelled North Korea as he scared Australia. "Okay, okay! I take it back!" said Australia who was trying to calm down North Korea. "If you really do, then take it back like you mean it or else" said North Korea in a scary and venomous tone. "Or else what?" asked Australia nervously. "Or else I'll have my swat team shoot you all" said North Korea as the North Korean swat team soon came in and pointed their guns at Australia and his authorities. "B-But I do it take it back! P-Please don't shoot" said Australia while trying to convince North Korea.

"Oh why you pathetic big baby! I will make you pay whenever you like or not! Alright boys, take aim and-" before North Korea could finished his sentence, he got a bone chilling surprise that came out of his index finger. When North Korea looked at his index finger, he noticed a thin blue wire that appears to came out of his skin. As North Korea was looking for an end, he found it in the throat of Australia's vice trading president who was coughing out blood and then collapsed on the ground. The wire that was in his throat came back to Jason who was shocked and Australia was then on the ground checking for a pulse. Australia then stopped checking on his now dead vice trading president's body and covered his face with his hands only to cry. "A-Australia please, I-I didn't know what came over me" said North Korea as Australia uncovered his face.

"You..... you killed him" said Australia while clenching his fists. "A-Australia, I-I'm really sorry please forgive me" said North Korea. "How can I forgive you when you killed the only person to whom I was so close to!?" yelled Australia. "Australia, I'll make it up to you. I'll help you pay Pryce's family for his funeral" said North Korea. "Leave" said Australia quietly. "What?" asked North Korea.

"I SAID LEAVE! NOW!!!" yelled Australia while North Korea took a step back. "But Australia, I said I was sorry" said North Korea. "I don't care! If you don't leave, then I'll be declaring war on you and your country!" yelled Australia as North Korea nodded. He than gestured his swat team, authorities, and assistants for a retreat to leave Australia. "Sir! What do we do?" asked one of Australia's officials. "I want you guys to inform Pryce's family about his death and help them pay for the funeral, also including the burial service" said Australia as the officials nodded and left.

Australia was soon alone with Pryce's corpse and took the minute for his final moments with him. "Oh Pryce, I'm so sorry for you and all of this. It's not your fault, it's the whole damn country of North Korea, including the personation himself" said Australia while looking at Pryce's dead body. Australia than took Pryce's hand and hold it one last time. "Pryce, I promise you that I'll get revenge on North Korea as your last request and I'll be an ally to the other countries for you. I promise" said Australia.

*Flashback Ends*

Russia was wiping a tear from his eye while the Baltic Trio went into another room. Inside that room the Baltic Trio took a minute as they sink into Australia's story.

"That's one sad story" said Latvia before breaking into tears. "I know. Come here Ravis I need confront" cried Lithuania as Latvia embraced him. "That story should be nominated for the Oscar's category award for the world's saddest story ever" said Estonia before crying as well. Soon Ukraine came into the room and noticed the Baltic Trio crying together. "Oh what's the matter boys, why so sad?" asked Ukraine. Soon the Baltics told her what happened and than she also broke into tears.

"Oh that's the most tragic thing that I ever heard" said Ukraine as she joined in with both Latvia and Lithuania. As they were all crying, Russia was still in the living room wiping his tears. "Ralph, that was really sad to hear" said Russia as Australia looked at him. "I know and uhh... sorry for the breakdown" said Australia. "In fact I also remember something tragic that happened in my life" said Russia. "When did it happen?" asked Australia.

"It happened during the times of when my country was called the Soviet Union" said Russia. "You mean it happened during your days of the USSR?" asked Australia. "If that's what you call it then, you're right. I made a lot of mistakes in my lifetime and this mistake I really regret doing" said Russia. "What kind of mistake was it?" asked Australia. "It was separating Korea in half along with Alfred after the events of World War II" said Russia. "Just like how you separated Germany and Prussia from each other?" asked Australia.

"Yeah, like that. When I was separating Korea, I knew I should of listen to South Korea instead of taking away his brother and almost killing him" said Russia. "Wait a minute, did you really separated South Korea from his brother?" asked Australia while raising a brow. "Da, I did and it was the biggest mistake that I ever made. I was busy fighting with Iyong ju and forced him to become North Korea, which made him hate me. He even demanded and yelled at me just to see his own brother" said Russia. "What else happened?" asked Australia. "Oh it's really painful for me to talk about, but it's worth it for you to know" said Russia

*Another Flashback*  

It was just another cold day in Soviet Russia and Latvia was ordered to get another bottle of vodka for Russia.

"Ravis what are you doing?" asked Lithuania as Latvia jumped at his voice. "I-I was j-just getting more vodka for Mr. Russia" said Latvia. "Ravis, listen to me very closely. Do you want to leave and go back to your own country?" asked Lithuania. "Y-Yes, yes I-I do" said Latvia as tear came from his eye. "You're in luck that Eduard is here with us" said Lithuania before Latvia left the kitchen. Latvia soon reached Russia's room and slowly opened the door.

He than came inside and placed the bottles of vodka on the table for Russia. After placing the bottles on the table, Latvia quickly turn around and left the room in fear. Meanwhile in Russia's room, Russia was looking around hoping that his new bottles of vodka is here. "Thank god I finally got my new bottles of vodka from Latvia" mumbled Russia who was drunk from drinking to much vodka. He went to grab one of the bottles of vodka until something caused it to be knocked out of Russia's hands. Russia who was both shocked and angry looked around the room.

When he couldn't find nothing, he was grunting in anger. "Now I have to get Latvia to clean up these broken glass shards or else" said Russia. "Oh really? Why can't you be nice to the Baltics?" asked a voice. "Who's there and who dares to trespass Soviet Russia!?" yelled Russia. "That would be me" said the voice as a person stepped out of the shadows. "Who are you?" asked Russia.

"Oh Ivan, have you forgotten who I am? I am the one and only North Korea and I came here for my revenge on you" said North Korea before getting into a fighting stance. "North Korea you say? Weren't you responsible for the Korean War with both South Korea and America?" asked Russia while looking at North Korea. "That news belongs to the 1950s and it's already the 1980s. This means it's time for me to get back my independence from both you and from Soviet control" said North Korea with a smile. "Are you sure about that? I gave you power and now you want to give it all up?" asked Russia with a cold tone. "Apparently I just want you to pay so. very. dearly" said North Korea while Russia raised a brow. "How will you do that?" asked Russia before chuckling deeply.

"Oh by this" said North Korea before motioning his hands as Russia who was then caught in blue wires. "What the hell are these!?" yelled Russia as he was trying to break free. "Don't worry what these are called. If you want to say alive than allow my country to have independence from you" said North Korea. "I will never do that!" yelled Russia. "Fine then. Have it your way" said North Korea as he made his wires tighten their grip on Russia. North Korea used his wires to throw Russia around the room like a rag doll which caused Russia to hiss in pain as he collided with broken glass shards.

Than North Korea started using his wires to dig into Russia's skin causing him to scream. "AHHHHHH!!!! Stop it!" yelled Russia as North Korea was showing off an evil grin. Russia was soon feeling the wires dig into his flesh causing him to bleed only to have Russia scream even more. North Korea than dropped Russia as soon as he realized that he got back his independence and soon left without a trace. Russia was on the floor while his blood was dripping, he than dragged his body to the door and opened it. Russia than dragged his body in order to find help, luckily he ran into Latvia who screamed when he looked at Russia.

Russia then closed his eyes and after awhile reopened them to see he was in his bedroom, where he saw Ukraine putting bandages on his skin. "Irunya..." said Russia before being interrupted by Ukraine who was telling him to be quiet. "Please brother, don't speak. It's best to save your energy for now" said Ukraine before smiling.

*Flashback Ends*

"My god, North Korea almost tried to kill you for his independence" said Australia who was shocked. "I know. If I ever see North Korea ever again, he's dead" said Russia while his dark aura suddenly appeared, causing Australia to flinch at this. "Do you really mean it?" asked Australia nervously. "Oh I mean it alright, I really do" said Russia as his aura grew bigger and even more deadlier than before.

@katsudon-fatalexeros My writing partner

It was encouraging yes but not what Yuuri had thought to hear. A soft smile and he rose off the other males lap with a smile."You have inspired me to Viktor, I think perhaps it's time for us to rest the competition is tomorrow. "It was pure warmth to his smile has he turned to head to their adjoining door.

He stood, scooping the smaller male into his arms when he noticed that he was looking at the door. Not tonight... or any other night if he could help it. Very playfully and light, he tossed Yuri on top of the full size bed and did a dramatic fall across him, taking up the whole width of the bed

Viktor always felt so soft that it took Yuuri's breath away has he was tossed to a far to soft mattress, the breath never returned to his lungs with the other male on top of him. His outfit didn't make him feel very eros not like that costume. A costume that hugged him in every right way has if it was more for him than Viktor. Now he wore jeans and an oversized sweater how could that compare

"You are so sexy." Viktor had at some point rolled over and was wrapped around him tightly, snuggled against him like a cat with light kisses to the jaw. "Oh the ice you are hot enough to make it melt." He wiggled his hips lightly as he curled around Yuri. Loving the way that their bodies seem to mold and contour to one another.

That breath of Viktor's lower half to his side had him flustered, sure on the ice he could believe he was a prince among mice...but in this moment he just felt like a blushing moron again. Crimson optics closed he didn't know how to respond to the statements the other male offered to him

"Yuri..." His name was a whispered purr in his own ear by a white haired male fantasy. Viktor couldn't help sometime but use it against him because he felt that blush was sexy ad hell. "Vhat do you vant, Yuri?" Viktor knew what he wanted but didn't want to pressure the younger male into something to soon

Oh. Makkachin help him that voice in his ear, more than a whispered prayer to God's long since forgotten. That couldn't be fair could it? The way Viktor purred into him fitting their bodies together like they belonged on the same side of a rubix cube."You."It was the simplest way to explain so much between the two of them

He chuckled softly. "I am here." He couldn't help the wide smile that crossed his lips, moving so that he slowly take off Yuri's shirt and toss it in the corner. His own soon followed and tossed on top in the same pile

The slip of fabric showing a slightly tanned torso to room gave way to chills pricking his skin. How was it one person could flush through his entire body, but it wasn't his body he was shy of it was Viktor. How do you get used to seeing something so other worldly so often

His hands danced lightly against his exposed skin. Viktor was going to take his time through whatever they decided to do. His thumbs traced over perk nipples, lightly rolling them around as he started into Yuri's face. He wanted to watch his reactions

Optics closed he hadn't known there would be any sign of touch until the wrap and press of fingers had the small of his back arching into the touch. A soft bite to his own lower lip he could imagine this going so many ways and yet none could compare to the look he was all to sure Viktor was giving to him

"Ah.." It was breathed out like a lost chant his gaze opening to shown slightly blown pupils. The soft flick and he was focused on sapphire irises he had knew by every detail every slight fleck of color change. He didn't know exactly how far this would go but he wanted to know

Viktor could do nothing more then smile down at him. The nose was a good sign, yes. His fingers released their clamp on him as he leaned forward, pressing their lips together roughly with a light grind of his hips

Why is it ever touch seemed to knock his breath ragged chest falling short has he returned the kiss. The indentations of his palms moved him to a straddling position keeping his body above Viktor's. A soft quirk to his lips has he leaned down mouth finding the other males once again.

He moaned, everything was taking him into a deep sensory overload and he loved it. arms wrapping around his slender waist as he broke the kiss, only to lightly nibble against Yuri's jaw. He wanted to taste and touch and map out his body in ways Yuri could never image

Yuuri inexperienced but has it seemed very eager to learn, slender digits began their own map of Viktor's torso keeping the hitched falls of his chest to a limit has knees pressed into the mattress. If this was a fantasy he might have to kill who ever woke him

He chuckled softly before a gasp broke his lips, his body shivering st the soft touches of his... His Yuri. His love. His. He just smiled against his skin as he let his lips travel up and down his body, kissing along the lines of small stretch marks on his hips to the smooth skin across his chest

They weren't all that noticeable but they were there faint and ghostly against skin you would have to over examine to find. Rapid weight gain and loss left him marked with three or four scars. The repetitive motion of Viktor's warm mouth to his body was more amazing than losing himself to the ice. Breath stalled has digits laced in iron locks

"You're so beautiful." It was breathed against his skin as he leaned into the vice grip that was Yuri hands in his hair. "Lay down, Yuri." He wouldn't be able to notice that at the same time Viktor said it was also the same time he was slowly laying the smaller male backwards

Yuuri's palms released lithe frame moved to press back against a scent that he knew would embed in his mind forever. The sheets flush with his skin has Viktor hovered above, the older male always seemed so ethereal to him. Unattainable and out of this world yet...here they were

He couldn't help but smile as he just stared at Yuri for a moment. He was letting the image of this beautiful man get buried into his brain as he slowly began to kiss over his body, fingers slowly working to undue his jeans and tug them from taunt hips

Was that his heart now firmly located in his throat? Oh God fucking gods did he just mentally swear of course he did surely the look on his face was an embarrassment.  Crimson rivaling the darkest of blood and brightest of rubies filled his features has Viktor snapped free the button on his jeans...wait when did they become so tight.

"Breathe, Yuri." He couldn't help but chuckle softly. "If there is something that I'm doing that you don't like please tell me." He stilled, both hands now resting on the side of his hips pressed firmly to the bed. His sapphire hues staring into those of ruby.

"Don't stop."He didn't want Viktor's palms to leave his body he wanted to be warm and welcome and learn whatever the other male had to offer him. A soft hiss has he looked into the other males optics."Please Viktor

A soft smile crossed Viktor's face as he once again went to work on Yuri's trousers, sliding them over his hips as helping wiggle them off his bodu. He inhaled deeply as he began to kiss all the leftover scars that were stretched into his skin

They were fading the scars he was kissing, Yuuri didn't like the way they looked so he was using fading cream to rid himself of them. The kiss was lower this time pressed to warm skin jeans no stopped at his knees.

"You shouldn't cover these." His voice was soft as he spoke as he continued to litter light kisses around the marks. "The shouldn't be seen as weakness or even shame. You have vorked hard to get to vhere you are today."

It wasn't covering was it? Wasn't it just simple healing. A soft exhale has the older male neared his boxers, something in a light lavender color, that was more cheeky boy short than boxer."Viktor keep talking."It had always been something he favored hearing the older male talk.

"And vhat vould you like me to talk about?" Viktor knew thst it was most likely Yuri's nerves playing against him as he hooked his fingers in the fabric of his shorts and softly began to pull them off. "You vere vonderful out on the ice today. A marvel to anyone vho vatched you."

Slender digits dug into the rough fabric of sheets he wasn't familiar with. A slight shudder and hitch of his chest."I...I want you to seduce me."It was a play on how Viktor always told him to skate, at first he had thought he was a cutlet bowl and than the beautiful woman but now he knew how to skate to seduce Viktor

Hello, I’m a new follower and tried looking around for an answer and didn’t see one, so I hope this isn’t a repeat question. You said your unicorns more closely related to deer than horses, so I was wondering if they shed their antlers or velvet as they grow?

havent decided yet! But because deer do it, initially unicorns do too. Each year the antlers form another coil, so you can count the age of a young unicorn by how striped their horn is! (don't count the coils on my drawings, I dont intend to respect this lore in my art)

but thats why alicorn horns are smooth. they're just so many horizontal coils they look like one solid form. Of course, full ascended alicorns would only shed once every century or so, if at all.

Maybe that's what happened to nightmare moon, she had her horn ripped off and had to spend millenia growing a new one, and when she did it came back all wrong.

I think as unicorns get older, they shed their horns less and less often, eventually settling on a final horn around middle age. Because coil number often correlates to how powerful their magic is (barring mutation/injury) a unicorn with a lot of power will continue to shed and regrow their horn even as they grow ancient. Starswirl the Bearded is one such example.

Re: unicorns are all male; so Twilight and Rarity are trans?

MLP unicorns are different from Vonder unicorns!

MLP are inspired by worldbuilding I already did for my personal fantasy world, but they are not the same.

MLP unicorns have both males and females, both sexes have horns, and they come in all colors. They also have a human like society and understanding of gender, so there are many trans ponies in that world.

Vonder unicorns are all albino, and only male. They are animals and do not have an understanding of gender.

Gossamer is part of yet another world, The Ark Of Death, which you can read about on artfight or by becoming a patron. Ark of Death is an anthro world where all the animals are people. They have an understanding of Gender and Gossamer is a trans man who is on HRT. While he is based on Vonder unicorns, Ark of Death is derivative and separate from Vonder.

You can read more about my world and all the speculative/fantasy biology takes in my worldbuilding tag!

MLP content and worldbuilding is tagged #skyscraper gods and #skyscraper gods lore. You can browse is on my MLP masterpost or on my sideblog, @skyscrapergods

I love love love how when you’re explaining lore you tell it like a little story

It's a big story! It's a massive story without a plot, as is the whole of human existence, nature, earth, and the universe.

Vonder is my personal fantasy world where everything it is part of a massive magical and evolutionary ecosystem. It has many sapient species as well, human subspeices (selkies) and human mimics (mermaids) along with the nature aspect.

The heart of vonder is a secret ;) but I know it. And my patrons know it too. My Discord server is where I hash out the nitty gritty details and shoot around ideas until they are ready to post. Or where I do a lot of things that I never post! Only my patrons know about sky whales because I never finished them.

But yes I have a persona of a scholar who documents the world, both nature and society, and the intersections therein. They teach a class at a seaside university when not traveling!

Right now they don't know what's up with unicorns and unicorn reproduction. But I do :3

And my discord does too. If you want to pop in and read the ramblings, you can become a patron. But if you stay here, it's presented as a story
