Saw this post and it made me think…it’s fun to imagine that trends like accessorizing also come and go for ponies. Maybe there are waves where wearing lots of layers were in followed by years of minimalism, then another counter trend of more accessories, etc etc…

it’s been so long since I last pony posted that the way I draw everyone changed again…I might draw up a mini updated sheet for myself and post that as a mini update!

Plague Ponies Episode 9: "Just A Daydream"

Celestia thinks herself alone in the aftermath of her confrontation with Fleur De Lis...a habit developed over a thousand moons is a hard habit to break.

Content Warnings: blood, death, injury, violence.

Comic Start

Celestia pants to herself in the dark, steam rolling off of her. Her magic flows uncontrollably from her horns. Her cutie mark radiates from her flank, its glow spreading to the rest of her body.

Celestia, thinking: Ah...this...

Celestia looks around at the wreckage of the college medical facilities. Walls and ceilings have collapsed; various wires and metal rods hanging and twisting out of place.

Celestia, thinking: ...it shouldn't have come to this.

Celestia trembles. She looks down. Her face is wet with both tears and perspiration.

Celestia, thinking: I'm sorry...

On the ground, lies the charred, skeletal remains of Fleur De Lis. Flames smolder in the ashen debris which carpets the ground.

Celestia, thinking: I didn't mean for things...

The flames rise higher as Celestia grows unsteady. She breathes heavily as light radiates through her skull.

SFX: WOBBLE WOBBLE

SFX: Huff huff

Celestia, thinking: ...to ever burn so HOT.

Celestia falls to the ground. Her insides shine with unnatural light.

Celestia, thinking: It's too hot.

Celestia opes her eyes to the sound of a voice calling her name. She wakes beneath an endless sky.

Luna: ...stia..! Celestia..!

Celestia looks up to find Luna emerging from a wall of mist.

Luna: You dream at last.

Celestia looks overjoyed to see her sister.

Celestia: Luna! I've been so worried...!

Celestia embraces Luna, who returns the gesture.

Celestia: Where are you being kept? I'll come and get you—

Luna: I have been with you always.

Celestia looks started at Luna's words. Luna begins to rise above Celestia, her mane forming waves of dark mist that envelops the sky.

Celestia looks on in horror as Luna continues to speak.

Luna: ...Just as you have been for me. So, I will say to you what you once said to me when I lost my way.

Under the cool shroud of darkness, Celestia's true state is revealed. Unbearable heat has begun to degrade her body. Her form is melting away like a waxen statue.

Luna: You must wake up.

Celestia: NO!

Celestia rears back in panic at the extent of her deterioration.

Celestia, thinking: What twisted illusion...Sister, would you truly turn against me at a time like this?

Celestia thinks of her precious student and her friends. The same ones she has come to know so well through Twilight's letters.

Celestia, thinking: I cannot fall back here.

Celestia wakes with a start. The veins around her eyes are burned black, and the flesh is melting away from her skull just as it had been in her dream.

Celestia begins to rise, and sees the figure of a pony approaching through the burning wreckage.

Luna: Oh, sister...

Luna continues forward towards Celestia. Sher wears a remorseful expression, her face shining with tears recently shed.

Luna: ...I never wanted to face you like this again.

Luna breaks into a run to close the distance between herself and Celestia, who rears up to meet her charge.

Luna, thinking: I'm sorry it came to this.

[beanjang-draws]

Most of this update is just an excuse for me to draw the sisters’ hair

[beanjang-draws]

Guess what’s cooking…

[beanjang-draws]

life updates : I’m finishing up my junior year of college so things have been getting hectic!! I want to make more personal art during the semester, but I think I’ll probably end up pushing it off til summer vacation :(

[casually-salad]

in my infection au discord server im hosting an "Infectiontober" and so i thought id share this here just in case anyone wants to participate! the pink ones were suggested over the discord, and the purple ones are from me!

[beanjang-draws]

hey hey everypony know you’ve probably noticed I’ve slowed down on updates again…I fear I am busy with life but I will be working in smaller increments to update plague ponies :3 thank you for understanding

[beanjang-draws]

I can’t lie everypony I cannot stop playing Minecraft and ingesting allergens

[beanjang-draws]

Just wanted to say your mlp character designs and au are lovely. I love the multiple horns on Luna and Celestia!

Thank you!! I was thinking way too hard about the horns and their social implications so I ended up making a whole document for future reference :3

In-universe, the shape of crowns as jewelry came about from minor royalty fashioning themselves after the two sisters.

In the post Nightmare Moon era, crowns are less common, but having longer horns resembling those of Celestia’s is still seen as extra distinguished and a marker of good breeding, especially in higher society Canterlot circles.

I drew more ponies in my sketchbook !! I wanted to draw wings and beetles….so I ended up with changeling redesigns :3

i stumbled upon your mlp virus series on my fyp today and your works are absolutely wonderful! i love how you put so much detail in every panel and i adoooore how you make everything look so soft! i especially love the way you draw wings!!!! i got suprised when you were only getting 300-500 likes on tiktok ...

omg thank you for finding me here!! The details are my favorite part to do <3 they’re so fun for me, even if it makes everything take much longer…

I find that longer formats are better received on here than on tiktok, where shorter slideshows seem to do best? I try not to pay much attention to the numbers especially on there since there are so many variables that go into it. The kinds of posts that do best on tumblr do the worst on tiktok and vice versa…in the end I’m doing this for the fun of it so :3
