message from santa: "happy holidays post-it-notes! 🎄🥳 i know you very politely only wished for a few modest things- characters high fiving, or struggling in christmas attire- but i hope you'll still enjoy this given that i kinda went the opposite direction entirely! i'm an enormous fan of your work and most times you post anything i wind up browsing your art tag from tip-to-tail in enraptured delight. as such, i thought it was only fair i give back something a little more significant in gratitude for all the joy your work has given me. i knew i wanted to do a comic, so i was thrilled you already had a whole storyverse for me to work from!! this scene seemed the most obvious choice (chapter 8 of "wishful thinking" on ao3) given that i enjoy a dramatic fight scene 😂 i tried to stick as beat-by-beat to the writing as i could and worked in as many details as possible; i hope it'll be fun to see it envisioned this way! merry christmas! ~starflung 🎀🔔 "

Something’s awful SKETCHY about those two girls… but it might just be the blonde one’s hairspray…

Quick headshots of my favourite little guys. Watch tumblr crunch the quality.

okay I’m reading the next chapter and this moment just happened (haven’t read past it yet) and what is WRONG with you???

The hallway rumbled as the final pieces of the floor crept up one after the other from the abyss. They rose at the same rate as the light that began to eat away at Rarity’s body, the same way it had consumed everything else she’d sacrificed.

The path forward was finally within reach. But in exchange not all of them could make it across.

A chill seeped into Twilight’s lungs—despair, she realized. It spread like frostbite through her veins, and as she struggled to draw breath filled with ice a single thought came crashing along with it:

They’ll miss her, won’t they?

LIKE. OH MY GOD. It was so terrifying the way you described Rarity and Twilight meeting each others gazes when they realized what she had to do and her making this choice and having to BE the symbol of generosity, but it being twisted into self sacrifice is SO fucked up and so so good

the best part of writing is taking all the pieces of me that are wrong and putting them on paper so other people get to be wrong too :)

Esen is clingy, and Ouyang WILL complain about it (very loudly!), but he's half-laughing and not pulling away, so Esen will count it as a win.

I’ve always really liked this one shot of Junko from the end of Despair arc, and since my computer needing to restart forced me to take a break from homework I thought I’d take he opportunity to do redraw it!

Doing this I became very aware of like, the little changes to her design I just automatically do lol. Like the makeup I have her in, the red nails, I always leave out the buttons and patterns on her shirt, and make it shorter and the skirt longer, and I seem to exaggerate the shirt collar lol. Idk, it was just interesting to see, and this piece ended up being sort of an amalgamation of the two designs since I wanted it to look like the screenshot but keeping some of those elements so it still looked like my style. Super fun either way!
