A-Lilacsong

Lilac, She/her, European-Canadian,🏳️‍🌈, 20s, I like cartoons, video games, sci-fi, cute things, and other stuff. Sometimes I draw, sew, and write things. On AO3:Lilacsong - Art Tag: My Art - Do not repost my art, you can reblog it instead. I do not consent to any of my art or writing being used for AI.

This is one of my OCs!

Fioletta [FEE-o-let-ta] (She/her) is a mischievous yet clever creature of unknown species (though she herself claims to be a Unicorn, it is unclear whether she says this in jest or earnest), she was discovered deep in the forest by a wizard and then insisted on being that wizard’s familiar.

Her candle horn is a part of her body that harmlessly burns on her head and burns even brighter when she is excited. It goes out when she's asleep or when she is swimming. In the water her porpoise like tail lets her swim faster then a speeding raft. She seems to be connected to both fire and water magic but seeing her perform any noticeable spells in the first place is a rare event.

I wanted to draw them in their new outfits, and I also wanted to draw them kissing again, so I did both.

Happy Pride Month!

Happy Royal Magic release everyone!

(I meant to post this before the first episode but since it hasn't been released in a majority of regions yet, technically this still counts as pre-release art for a lot of people).

Part two of my take on a My Little Pony X Sofia the First AU.

It's Princess Amber, Prince Jasper, and Princess Sonrisa!

(Specific thoughts about the three of them in the alternate universe under the cut)

 I haven't drawn any of them with cutie marks because while I have made a design for what Amber’s would be, I haven't figured out one for Sofia or James. Because I think their futures are ambiguous enough that it's hard to lock them into one or two specific talents or character traits that a cutie mark could represent. Looking at the show itself and imagine that everything is just the same except they all happen to be ponies, I think that amber would earn her cutie mark in "Clover Time" where she discovered her love of astronomy and the cutie mark would also represent her determination and I for details which would also benefit hurt as a ruler.

 Meanwhile if we're going with the idea that James has some kind of knight/protecting others talent and cutie mark Then I think there are two episodes where it would make sense for him to possibly earn his cutie mark, either "The Silent Knight" or "A Royal Wedding" where he shows his interest in being a knight but also learns lessons that are relevant to it. But I also like to think that with James there's a possibility that he might not become a knight and lean more into his interest in acrobatics / entertainment he's shown in a few episodes would also be interesting. That or use those interests to become a unique type of knight, one that's more spontaneous and sillier like his aunt as an adventurer.

 With Sofia I don't think there's any one point in the series where it makes sense for her to earn a cutie mark. She has big moments of character development and helping others, but I think that she is still learning about the world and herself and what she wants to do with her life and I think there's a lot of room for her to grow. Even by the end of the original series, she wouldn't have a cutie mark in my opinion so maybe in royal magic there be a more logical point for her to earn one.

 In thinking about the kids specifically as ponies I don't think they would often go out of their way to try to earn their cutie marks before they have them. Like maybe one or two plot lines where they do something specific but nothing as obsessive as the cutie mark crusaders were about it. I don't see any of the other kids bullying them about it so they wouldn't have as much motivation to try. I do think though that Amber would earn her first no matter what and then she would feel quite proud about that. Then she would drag her siblings into specific situations to try and see if they learn theirs because she would appoint himself a cutie mark expert now that she has one before them.

 Also I decided for this AU since it's not just My Little Pony or Sofia the First, it's a blend of the two, that I would make up my own rules for alicorns. Roland is an alicorn specifically because he was crowned king, the coronation had magic that gave him a horn. Before then he only had wings. Aunt Tilly only has a horn because she never became queen and she is fine with that. Any crowned ruler of Enchancia will be made an alicorn and most other ever-pony kingdoms also have this as a tradition. With Amber and James when one of them eventually gets crowned they will either get a pair of wings or a horn respectively but only if they're officially crowned (ruler for a day doesn't count). So that is a little bit of extra incentive for becoming the ruler but not as much as the power the position brings.

 Sofia is fine with being an earth pony because she can still learn magic as an earth pony it's not limited to unicorns. Plus, she has the amulet which is voice activated anyway. Sofia is smaller than her siblings because she is a little little pony.

Two-tailed mermaid Zane because it is Mermay. (Perhaps siren would be a better word to describe him though).

Mermaid Camila because it is Mermay.

It's King Royalland and Queen Herradora!

[a-lilacsong]

how do you picture queen Lorelei sounding like, for some reason I picture her sounding like Kristin chenoweth

Okay I can see why you would imagine that. A short queen bee type voice; that's a good option if you are going for an American accent for her. Personally, I've always seen her with a Newfoundland accent. Mostly because nearly everyone in Enchancia has an American accent, so I want her voice to be different. Also thinking that she comes from some kind of Kingdom that has fishing villages and maybe one side of her family is peasants rather than royalty and that's how she got that kind of accent is a fun headcanon for me. I have a friend who has a headcanon for her having a Scottish accent and that would be my second choice though.

Also if you don't know what a Newfoundland accent sounds like here's a good example: (I don't think her personality would be quite this feisty at least in my headcanons, but it would be funny)

Miss Nettle but I tried to draw her in her possible new outfit from the Sofia the First Royal Magic teaser trailer.

[a-lilacsong]

I finally drew Miranda and Roland in their stained-glass window outfits! I meant to post this on Valentine's Day but today will have to do.

The pose is based on The End of the Song (1902) by Edmund Blair Leighton.

Soft grass, soft smiles.

I drew the new characters from Sofia the First Royal Magic! This may not be what they look like when the show comes out but I wanted to draw them anyway.

Sofia the First: Royal Magic will feel like a less mature and younger show compared to the original. Creator Craig Gerber has said that this is because of an intense pressure from Disney higher ups to do so, and if the show does poorly it will be canceled, rather than return to its previous level of maturity.

No one is happy about this.

Even if Royal Magic has a younger audience in mind in its creation than the OG, everyone on the crew has worked their butts off to make this series as enjoyable as possible for viewers of all ages. Yes, network does cut and revise stuff down the line, but that can't be helped, especially for a junior show. But the heart and passion all of us have put into this show is still there and I think fans both old and new will find something to love with our show from to wonderful music, to the charming new characters, and just to all the beautiful detail in the designs, props, and locations.

If fans want a chance for the show to return to its previous level of maturity, then watch it and give the new show some love. The more seasons a show gets, the greater chance networks will allow it try new things and grow.

I'm not saying every old fan will love this as much as the first, because it is two different productions, made nearly a decade apart with new kid generations in mind. But at least judge it on reasonable expectations.

Outfit swap!

(I drew Miranda first and was like ‘oh wow she looks so cute in this kind of suit,’ and then I drew Roland in her dress and somehow, he is just as cute???)

Exciting new blind box figure set just dropped, which one are you hoping to get?
