Hello people ! Just a quick little post to say that I'm going to be in hiatus until finding a job (cause I don't feel like working on my au while I search anyway...)
I know, I have like multiple things to post and write buuut... I did that instead. I'm annoyed at myself Edit cause I'm forgetful : it is made by using the translation of the lyrics of a vocaloid song found here https://vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/%E3%81%A8%E3%81%82%E3%82%8B%E4%B8%80%E5%AE%B6%E3%81%AE%E5%BE%A1%E8%8C%B6%E4%BC%9A%E8%AD%B0_(Toaru_Ikka_no_Tea_Party) With some little edits to fit better this group. I really like this song so I advise you to give it a listen !
I wanted to do at least one post for pride month. So here is a quick Trixie ! I like to imagine 'Trixie' originally being her scene-name and it 'sticking' more than any name she may have tried until she adopts it officially. I imagine her first episode in Shuffle as being kind of a mix of her normal episode and 'the one where pinkie knows', except it is Twilight that knows. Pretty much Trixie comes into town to do her usual spectacle, a long near festival with shows everyday for a week. A type of spectacle she normally does once and nopony must say the last trick, the one no one guess. The fact that all her marvelous actions aren't those of a unicorn but... of an earth pony !! But when Twilight immediately recognize what is going to happen, it is hard to resist the temptation to spoil her friends...
Pillars 2/? prev Finally I'm just going to put the roles of everypony in the group cause it's been like a month since I did that drawing and personnal events makes me really not want to rewrite properly a long thing. But I don't want to stay not posting for longer either Sooo, Starswirl : Leader, Magical (general) Expert, Magical (general) Researcher Clover : Runes Expert, Curse Expert, Spell Expert Stygian : Tactician, Cartographer, Creature Expert Somnambula : Occult, Social Expert and Peacemaker Rockhoof : Warrior, Strong stallion, Workhorse Mistmane : Negociator, Weather Expert, Linguist Flash : Soldier, Military Strategist, Guard Meadowbrook : Healer, Potion Maker, Expert in Enchantment
So, Pillars 1/? next ! (I am soon beginning to do the mane 6, I have their species but I'm checking if they "fit" with the episodes I'm planning… Cause I decided "And what if I shuffle the episode by putting them in random season and only allowing me to move them after to have around the same number of episodes by seasons?")
After the reign of Grogar the terrible, multiple monsters roamed the world. Some more dangerous than the others. Amongst the worst are the Windigoos. Using the power of discord and animosity between ponykind, they froze the ground and anyone standing in their paths… Ponies tried to run away from them, find a new territory. Bu wherever they ran, the windigoos followed. That until the events of Hearth's Warming, where three tribe leaders and their companions managed to get the creatures to run away, but nopony knew how or why. It is a few years later than Stygian, a triton found and raised by Starswirl the bearded, found the reason. An echo in the nature of the different ponies, reasonnating in the presence of their different abilities. Despite the alicorn's doubts, they formed a group containing ponies of all subspecies. -Starswirl the Bearded, the only adult alicorn at the time and most powerful sorcerer of all Equus. -Clover the Clever, his kirin disciple. A powerful witch and friend of the princess Puddinghead. -Stygian, the only triton not in ocean and thus the only one they know. -Flash Magnus, a legendary unicorn soldier and often-time guard of the alicorns. -Somnambula the earth pony hero of the land from which she has the name. -Rockhoof the crystal pony hero who saved his town from a volcano. -Mistmane the older bat pony hero, whose kindness only equal her previous beauty. -Meadowbrook the legendary pegasus healer.
Together, they managed to make the Windigoos disappear before fighting multiple threats of the world before disappearing, a few decades before the alicorn sisters became princesses of all of Equestria, the united kingdom of ponies.
Next post (that will feature a drawing of a sleeping-pony-pile) will be on the group dynamic, before going on a character-by-character (or possibly two-by-two) post to talk about their story (pre-apparition ofc) and type of pony characteristics.
1/3 (next) Sorry didn't have time to write recently ! For this post, I will just present to you Shuffled story of each of the mane 6 ! With two different set of try for their designs with different style because I wasn't happy with Pinkie and Rainbow. Still not satisfied with Pinkie ^^'
Also, both of those sets uses a rule, all colors used come from their official design and/or from early design and/or from their relatives.
Seeing how long it would be otherwhise, I will cut that post in multiple soooo follow-up tomorrow I guess? Nice day to all !
Post-scriptum : Please don't hesitate to indicate if you prefer one of the two styles ^^ Kinda curious of what people prefers, I tend to often change style of coloring and all so I always wonder
---------------------------------
Spike :
In this AU, dragons have multiple phases of mental and physical growth due to their very long life-span. For a very long time they have very limited intellect and works with their instincts. Due to this and ponies lack of knowledge about dragons, some ponies raise them as pets. Twilight, when she was a young filly, tried to enter Celestia's school by pretending to be a unicorn and hiding her wings. The teachers, having well realized what she was doing, decided to put her before an impossible test, hatching a dragon's egg. Something impossible for most experienced magic users. A rainbow explosion happening while she was trying warming circle with a hatching ritual (usually intended for reptile) made her make a mistake on her magical ritual and before she realized what she had done, she had a small dragon boy and Celestia, seeing her potential, decided to make her her private student. Spike has lived with Twilight ever since hatching, often serving as a comfort animal. --------------------------- Twilight Sparkle
Twilight is a young adult (like the rest of the mane 6) pegasus. Big fan of magic from the moment she discovered it, her and her brother, Shining Armor, have studied the different kind of magic than non-unicorn can do. Where her sibling concentrated on shielding magic, until being seen and engaged in Equestria's army, she preferred to be more of a generalist, wanting to be able to do everything. When he went away for his studies, she tried to go in Celestia's school before becoming her private student. The princess refused to put her in her school due to not being a unicorn and by such, being unable to do horn magic. As main student of Celestia, she grew relatively isolated and extremely protected. The main people she saw were Spike, the princess, guards and finally her family.
why the fuck does spike have a collar, hes not a fucking pet, hes a adopted brother to Twilight
"For a very long time they have very limited intellect and works with their instincts. Due to this and ponies lack of knowledge about dragons, some ponies raise them as pets." -citation from the post Please read everything when you have a question, or don't hesitate to send a ask ! :DD In the beginning of the AU (who since then as changed after a poll), I thought of dragons having different stages of growth and it being badly understood by ponies (to reference partially the way people took iguana and thought they would stay small if in a small terrarium (which was a very popular myth of when I was a kid, loads of iguana died very young due to it)). Pretty much when Twilight hatched Spike, she would have thought than he is a type of dragon with limited intelligence and, later on, during the rewrite, realizes than he is, in fact, simply a baby ! And from that point on, she would need to change her own perception of Spike but also try to make it known and make ponykind realize the wrongs they did to dragonkind. Don't hesitate to tell me if it is unclear ! ^^
So, with the result of the pool, everyone can be everycreature (at the exception of those as alicorns, draconequus, ...) ! But, as I am still trying to figure out what to do with all those antelopes, here are the pillars-v1 (I plan to redo some of them but wanted to post something before my break was over) who are all ponies !
If you just wanted to see the drawings, you can stop here as now we are going on story territory ! (And yes, there is a version where Starswirl stays a unicorn, it is normal). As tumblr refuses my rambling on the AU, just knows than they are now from between the event of the Hearth Warming Eve and the reign of the sisters. Their main enemy is the windigos (than is only chased by group of diverse (>= 3 kinds) ponies). And set one is the most probable to "stick" but with modifications as I don't like how I did Mistmane the first time. There will be more later on when I do the "final" version for the pillars and when I talk about all ponykind (just add alicorn to those present here and you have them all). In the meantime, I should see what I do with the antelopes so, hopefully, mane 6 soon ! :D
So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?
Saw a sharp increase in my follower count after posting this. The legitimacy of it is driving me nuts so I also feel the need to say that you can follow anyone on here regardless of whether you’ve interacted with them or not. People like the above mentioned blog are exceptions. Perhaps they themselves think they aren’t and therefore will act like they aren’t, but they are, trust me.
Just follow anyone you wanna follow. The worst thing that can happen is maybe getting soft-blocked by the other person, but if they do soft-block you, then they were never that worth following in the first place.
I don't know what soft-blocking means, but you definitely don't need to interact with someone before following them.

Hello ! I'm caw-rky and I'm doing a MLP AU : Shuffled. In this AU the mane 6 pony-species are shuffled around, events are also shuffled around (episode order finished ! I'm doing summaries to check than I didn't accidentally put too late an episode I need early). Originally I only planned for the mane 6 and pillars to have a necessary shuffle and to shuffle others only depending of if it I want/need to. But it feels a bit like cheating to me... Soooo... Poll time ! (If it is like last time I did one, I litterally had only two votes, so your opinion matter a lot x'DD)).
How much shuffling around?
All ponies (but only in-between pony type)
All ponies (but shuffle between any species, not just pony)
Everycreature but ponies stays ponies and other creatures stays other creatures
Everycreature (and I want you to suffer the consequence of your action :) )
Only some characters are changed (no interspecies shuffle)
Only some characters are changed (interspecies shuffle allowed for non-pony)
only some characters are changed (with a pinch of interspecies shuffling)
I don't care but felt like voting :)
Everycreature on everyone EXCEPT special species (alicorn & draconequus)
All ponies EXCEPT alicorn (in both ways so alicorn Starswirl forbidden)
Preparing the selection of species ~ (Cause I actually have 30+... That's a bit too many for my taste)
there is so many kind of antelopes, I can't believe it
I think I have fallen through a rabbit hole when trying to search how far apart are goats and horses evolution wise. Plz send help
(thanks wikipedia)

It's been tooooo long since I did G1 redesign ! Here is Bow-Tie, she is a Earth Pony normally but I learned on http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/G1_Bow_Tie than, in a Peru Pamphlet, she is said to have become a unicorn ! I thought it was a funny thing to keep and I put as many ribbons as I could xDD Oh, also, the white dot are a reference to a design where she has white freckles and than multiple variants of the toy have white ribbons (but Bow Tie has a lot of variant soo yeah)...
Seashell ! I didn't make many change but I really like how she turned out. I learned than prosthetic aren't really advised in sand too (I wondered about if it was a bad idea and, if my quick google search is to be believed, it is a bad idea).
Bubbles ! I learned on her mylittlewiki page than she was named by Lemon Drop after she ran into her covered in mud and Lemon Drop cleaned her. So I decided to make her a kid and I find her very cute ! (I love the idea than she loves getting dirty in mud and bath time)
Still not dead x'DD Still working on the episodes order/shuffling. And weeeeell... I was frustrated by the (classic) colorwheel challenge meme not having seven colors, so I decided to make one with seven... then it became 14... And it spiralled out of control xDD The rules I used :
-Max 1h by pony (tried not to go above 45 min but I went beyond it multiple times... For a while I wanted to try and do a prosthetic limb for Twilight (for funsies) but after failing for twenty minutes to sketch it I gave up)
-3 colors only -I had to alernate pillars and mane on the wheel
-Need to change the specie of everyone (used : batpony-pegasus, earth pony-crystal pony, kirin-unicorn and ofc alicorn)
While I don't have stories/adaptations as I had done with my shuffled design (cause it was supposed to just be a quick drawing), just a few things quickly : -yes there is a white spot, I fused my calcs without realizing I had exchanged Rainbow and Rockhoof... -Rockhoof and Rarity are supposed to be crystal ponies (when I was drawing it, it seemed to much more obvious x'DD) -Flash and Sunset looks so alike in this, it wasn't volontary but I find it kinda funny in a way? -I wanted to put an hearing-aid to Stygian to make jokes about him having 'not heard the sirens'. Then I wanted to put the glasses he had in the comic. He also got that green cause it reminded me of alternate-POS (in the comics). -Angel is the rudest (but most adorable) of the service animal -Applejack makes me thing of a shiny charmeleon and idk why My favorites (in order) are : Sunset, Rainbow, Stygian, Flash, Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie Those I'd like to redo are : Somnambula, Rockhoof and Meadowbrook, I honestly made them too fast and they either don't look as good as I'd like or they look at the same time too similar and different from their og designs... Those where I'm 'meh, they aren't too bad, but they aren't great' are : Applejack (like the outfit, but not fond of the coat), Fluttershy (the outfit is too... basic and bright, I'd say?), Mistmane (I didn't use the main color on her, it feels like I cheated...) and Starswirl (the design feels a bit too busy) If someone has advices on how to better 'deal' with those palets (or on how to make good non-human prosthetic), please tell, I'd love to learn about it!! I someone wants to play with the palets/concepts/wheel, don't hesitate to ask ! I will put the blank wheel later on if somebody is interested (cause I fused my calc and I'm feeling too lazy to redo it if no one is interested x'DD)
hello ! Just a little post to say than I'm still alive, still working on shuffled (working on the "episode" order right now). It is taking longer than I thought though I have already begun writing ^^ I hope to begin putting chapters in not too long though uni kinda eat most of my time. May put a few drawing I made in class at a moment ? I don't know yet as most are pretty meh and or beta concepts for characters/concepts. Like an idea I had with Pinkie Clones, but I'm still hesitating since it would be kinda dark but I don't know if it is darker than some things I already said soooo eh, I need to think about it
Just a fun little sketch. I fell back onto some group meme base and wanted to play with it x'DD I imagine than Twilight decided to help the pillars rekindle their friendship with a few games. She probably should have verified if Rainbow hadn't changed a few of the boxes... And if she hadn't put a note saying "cheating is allowed as long as you aren't caught"... The left picture is the beginning of the game (with Mistmane trying to understand the rules, Starswirl who pretends to not understand anything, Stygian who has already ended up in jail despite it being the first turn, Flash winking to the camera and Rockhoof and Somnambula loving the chaos) and the right is the end of the game. Somnambula has gotten drunk (and broke), Flash is commenting to the camera while Mistmane prays for the survival of their friendship after all of this. Rockhoof is screaming to the sky from how badly he lost (you shouldn't have bet dude, after Stygian ended up in jail for the sixth time without ever managing to reach the first case, you should have guessed than someone was cheating). Meadowbrook has embraced insanity (and made an alliance with Starswirl, the big cheater winner of the game !). Stygian has ended up in a cardboard prison since he hasn't been able to do even one full turn without ending in jail. Twilight will have regrets.
Dungeons and ponies
(Disclaimer : There is a lot of reading here but there is also drawings, the drawings are lower in the post so don't hesitate to jump straight to it to avoid the blabbering) Since uni is kicking my behind (well, that and a good old bad cold), I put a hiatus on Shuffled (and have been for a while already). But that's not the subject of this post ! So, Dungeons and Dragons ! The most known system of roleplay than most fan of the genre have played at least once, right ? Not me. I have only played homemade systems since before I could read. But I am a big fan of DnD redesigns and love memes so, what did I do after watching some redesigns on youtube? Well, of course, I drew the pillars ! And since I can't do anything simply, I linked them all to two classes and made a few indications for stats and an idea for a small system to represent the elements. So a few explainations then drawings ! Each pillars are linked to 2 classes (I also have ideas for the mane 6 (7?) but I haven't drawn them yet, dunno if I will) depending of their stories (in the serie and in the comics) and what I felt like doing. Each pillars are linked to a "virtue", virtues are pretty much the equivalent of the elements but there is seven of them and are made to be "usable" for both generation. The concept of virtue is : each virtue corresponds to an ability (for example : faith would rise the critical sucess rate for difficult actions). A virtue being in a party will act on all members of it, having multiple time a virtue will reinforce its effect (two faith would lower the failure rate necessary for an action to be thought as difficult for example) and different virtues would stack on the party (if you have a faith and a diligence, both effects will act on the whole party). If you have six or more of the different virtue, once by session you could use the friendship rainbow lazer. For the stats, since I'm too lazy to try and figure out what level everypony would have, searching how exp works and all, instead there are 5 level existing : low-, low, medium, high, high+. low- is you are pretty much unable to do anything using this stat. Low is lower than the average adult pony. Medium is average. High is higher than average. High+ is "hello I'm pretty much a genius in this field". The pillars have a mean to medium where the mane 6 (and Stygian) would have a mean at low. Now drawings !
Starswirl is a wizard (pretty obvious why) and a bloodhunter ! To make a very gross summary a bloodhunter is someone who used pretty... unsavory rituals to achieve very powerful blood-related magic (generally in the goal of beating up bad guys). In this, I consider than Starswirl became one to reach stronger magics to fight against the monsters who roam during their times (that far before even meeting the alicorn sisters). I also imagine him now half regretting his choice but also being of the mind of "better me than someone else". His virtue is curiosity. (Also a thing I thought while thinking about it (I will try to keep it short) : isn't it funny than he thought than Stygian was trying to steal the power of the pillars but his last spell, when corrected, allows the caster to reach alicornhood by using the power of 5 other individuals? Imagine the twist it would have been if Starswirl had originally made the spell to become an alicorn (and so immortal) and planned to put the rest of the pillars in limbo until finding a way to make them immortal too to "protect equestria forever". Like, Stygian would have been silent and shocked cause he was in fact sent by Starswirl to make preparatory diagnostics check-up but was thrown under the bus when some of the pillars realized their missing stuff. (Funnily enough, seeing how high in society Starswirl was, even if he planned to keep Stygian, it would have been easy for him to get guards to capture him back so it would barely be annoying for him to have to let Stygian run off). Like during part of the finale, everyone thinks the problem is Stygian taking the artifacts for one thing or another and then you learn than Stygian thought he was allowed since Starswirl asked him to do it and accepted the shadows due to feeling betrayed (possibly even accepting them to escape Starswirl). And I'm beginning to spiral in possibilities soooo next character ! (also, link of the wizard reference : https://www.lolailo.co.uk/ravenloft-chapter-fourty-four-the-journey-back-to-an-illusion/ )
Rockhoof is a paladin (of the Mighty Helm) and a barbarian ! And his dexterity is low due to a certain episode and charisma has ended up low cause it was the only thing I could lower when I realized his mean was high. His virtue is diligence ! And ref of the viking palading : https://www.deviantart.com/rathnos/art/Ziggeroy-The-Viking-Paladin-or-Vikadin-563177921 .
Mistmane is a sorcerer (cause her magic is too important for her to not have a magic related class and I thought than wizard was better for Starswirl) and a druid (before thinking for this, I hadn't fully realized how much she is linked to plants). Her virtue is charity ! And old ponies are hard to draw x'DD
Somnambula is a bard and a monk ! And I tried two color palets cause I wondered how she would look with Ankha's color palet. Her virtue is Faith !
Meadowbrook is an artificer (mainly for the potion making) and ranger (partially cause Mistmane already had the bard part and also because, Meadowbrook doesn't really have the link with animals and plants I generally imagine druids having? If that makes sense?). Her virtue is Mercy !
Flash Magnus is a fighter (I originally thought to make him a paladin before thinking than Paladin of The Mighty Helm sounded too good to pass) and a rogue (originally cause I thought it funny since his "elemental descendant" is the element of loyalty) ! His virtue is Bravery (yes, I know, imagination 10/10)
Stygian is a Cleric (just thought it would be cool for him to have become it to help the pillars) and a Warlock (pretty obvious that one). Yes I imagine him having two patrons pretty much opposite. Just cause I think it would make for very funny interactions with Stygian and both patrons. His virtue is caution. I tried to make the post veeeeeeery quick and short so plz don't hesitate to send ask if interested in this xDD May do the mane 6 and/or young 6 one day. Or not. Idk yet? Will take a while either way so have a nice daaaay !
