Am I insane or did you at one point have a critique thing of Snowdrop? I know I’ve seen it before but now I can’t find it?
You’re not insane anon! Waaaaaaay back when Snowdrop first came out I did indeed have one. But I took it down within a day or so because
1. It was really bad tbh.
2. I basically said Snowdrop didn’t need to be blind and was only blind to make you feel sad for her (something I still agree with), and I got ALOT of shit from it, including shit from people from Silly Filly Studios and I basically decided it wasn’t worth it.
Tbh I don’t even think I have the whole thing saved.

Well guys, with that, I think I have to say that OC October has finally drawn to a close for me, at least for this year. I definitely want to try making more for next year though and have already thought of some good OCs to use!
I don't know how I'm going to list them in any particular order since the placement of this group shot is a bit chaotic so I'm just going to do them in alphabetical order with the creators name, and a Deviant Art link to the single upload of said character(s) for more information on each one. The ones who have their own ask blog will also have it linked even if it is inactive.

Sweet Velvet by xwhitedreamsx
Sweetie Bot by SherclopPones
Twinkle Toes and Ink Jet by intheallspark and Me
Well that's quite a list but let me say that I was very happy to take part in such an extensive project/challenge and I think doing monthly challenges like this is actually pretty good and helps me stay motivated! I did this during the month that MLP ended so you can imagine I kinda had a hard time keeping up with it the whole next week after the finale. I am also very inspired to make more fanart of "Flurry Heart's Story" since the finale left a lot of unanswered questions that the fans can figure out themselves so I will get on that too!
Special thanks to every person who made these OCs and I had fun drawing them! Everyone else keep participating in OC October! I didn't come up with it apparently but not enough people do it so get crackin!

Aaaaahhhhh, it’s International Fanworks Day!!!!!!! I’ve been really busy and basically dropped off the grid for about half a year now but since I first celebrated IFD back in 2016, I’ve always tried to make time for it. Good thing it’s half term then, eh?
So this year’s theme is classic fanworks so here’s a list of fandom classics. I think I’ll probably do them in rough chronological order I’ve read/seen them and by fandom.
My Little Pony (MLP)
Lullaby for a Princess (Animation) by WarpOut, (technically scored by Ponyphonic)
Pretty sure everyone’s cried watching this for the first time. The artwork is absolutely stunning: the detail in the background is beautiful, the characters’ movements are nice and smooth, and the dynamics of the fight scene were incredible. And how the colours just kind of bled into her hair as we were coming down from the climax; I saw somebody’s interpretation of that moment comparing it to someone’s hair going white due to stress from a traumatic event and yes. Imagine, in the far future when everypony admires her rainbow mane when to her, it’s just a reminder of her greatest failure. Ponyphonic is probably one of if not the most talented musician(s) in this fandom, the sheer emotion in Christina’s voice brings you to tears and his work was brought to sight so masterfully here.
Children of the Night and The Moon Rises by Duo Cartoonist
These two fan-animations were the most well-known of this animation duo’s works. Everyone from way back when must have watched these. The first one, Children of the Night, emulates the show’s art style so well, if I didn’t know otherwise, I would’ve thought it was from the show. The Moon Rises was posted three years later and was apparently animated with the same program for the film that came out in 2017? From what I remember, there was more depth than Children of the Night which was rather 2D so some growth there.
Snowdrop by Silly Filly Studios
I cried when I watched this and I am not ashamed to admit it. The animation style looks just like the show’s so that’s great but really it’s the storyline that got me. Snowdrop realising her self-worth and that moment she had with Luna. The parallels between winter and the night. I know their friendship was only really implied but at the end when Luna’s back and she never got to say goodbye to her friend because she was still sealed away in the moon… 😭😭😭. Those last lines from Luna though, so moving and I’ve only just realised that the last snowflake she ever made was actually that first one she presented to the princesses so there’s that full circle feeling. Heartwarming with a slightly bittersweet ending.
Past Sins by Pen Stroke, Batty Gloom
This is probably the first fic I’ve ever read in my entire life. I was very young when I read this and I didn’t even know what fandom was at the time. From what I remember, it was alright. Nice mother-daughter relationship in there and a decent character arc, I think; I’m pretty sure I read the revised version so I got to skip most of those initial concerns people had or whatever.
Undertale (UT)
Undertale: The Musical by Man on the Internet
A whole goddamn musical! God, I remember going through the whole playlist and then watching the whole production. I actually used to know the whole soundtrack by heart and sing along. The art, the lyrics, the playthrough footage, the cast!!! Those voices are pretty much how I imagine all the characters sound like (not that I had really any pre-existing concept beforehand). The amount of time, love and care put into this makes it a brilliant four-hours-or-so of a masterpiece.
AUs by Various
This fandom is all about the AUs. Afaik, they’ve been the backbone of a large amount, probably a majority of the content produced by the fandom as a whole. From the top of my head, we’ve got Inktale, Dreamtale, Aftertale/Errortale, Underswap, Underfell, Horrortale, Reapertale? And the list goes on… AUs upon AUs upon AUs, so much so that there are crossovers between AUs now. Imagine how the recursion of all those recursive works, well, works. It’s insane.
Miraculous Ladybug (ML)
You Don’t Know Me by Ferisae
Okay, so this was the first ML fic I’d ever read and it was amazing! Literally, what with Feri having actually gone on to work at ZAG, I think everybody knows this fic.
Always a Hero, No Matter the Miraculous by imthepunchlord
I know this is technically a series, but it’s the kwami swap fics of kwami swap fics! ‘Lucky Fox Paradox’, I feel has got that old fandom classic vibe, but ‘Rise of Mariposa’, I think still stands the test of time. Just checked (10/02/22) since I’ve not been active in ML for years and it’s been rearranged? Like, I could’ve sworn Caught in a Cycle used to be in here.
Under Lock and Key by EdenDaphne, Maerynn
This is probably one of the most well-known multimedia collabs from the earlier days. The art is amazing as always, courtesy of EdenDaphne and Maerynn’s prose still stands the test of time. I don’t think I read anymore past the point around when Maerynn passed away as I had basically phased out of ML years ago but it’s since been completed by Eden so I’m definitely going back to finish reading it one day.
Alex Rider (AR)
Hell Is Other People by amitai
The origin of the Brecon Beacons fic. This completely changed the fandom at the time, it was completely crazy. I’ve already made a post about this so really, no need to go on.
In Loco Parentis by amitai
The origin of the K-Unit guardianship fic. Ah, the nostalgia of these days. Wolf and Alex’s dynamics are brilliant here (to be fair, amitai’s characterisations are always spot on so no surprise there) and really, you know you just want to keep reading.
An Object Lesson by amitai
The origin of the SCORPIA attacks Brookland fic. Only a true genius could come up with three fandom-specific tropes. Wolf and Alex’s budding partnership – again, characterisation and dynamics never disappoint.
The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by pongnosis
I’m going be honest and confess that I’ve not actually read this but it is still one of this fandom’s classic works so I felt it should have a place here. Thankfully, I don’t need to even try to wax lyrical about it because that’s what everyone else in this fandom is for.
Fran Bow
The Thin Line Betwixt Light and Dark by ShadowHeart405
The series that made me change my mind about Remor. In the spirit of honesty, once again I must confess I didn’t really like him at all at first. That may or may not be because he used to give me nightmares. Even now, I actually cannot look at canon artwork of him without getting freaked out – fanart is fine; canon art, no. But Thin Line has caused me to consider that perhaps, I shouldn’t just tar him with the brush of the first impression. So thank you, ShadowHeart, for the deeper thinking.

“Evening everypony, we’re back once more and i apologize for the lack of activity, all i can say is that sleep is not my friend, i’ve slept oddly, sleep never came, making me stay up through Celestias hours, and then weird dreams leaving me discombobulated, and this evening is not different, weird dream and i feel pretty scatterbrained currently.” Star said as she greeted the cam with a wave.
