Okay So Um...

A little update for you guys? I’ve been trying to bring back this ask blog for god knows how long. I made a new design, a ref, and everything. But for some reason I just can’t bring myself to do it. SO I decided that if anyone’s interested, I made an art blog specifically for my pony art and you can ask questions there if you want. There’s not much to it right now as of posting this but here it is if anyone wants it. @unknownpsychic​

I’m very, very sorry for doing this but events in the past just has me kinda. idk but if I ever feel up to it again I’ll bring this blog back.

Wulp

((My tablet pen decided it doesn't want to work anymore and I've tried everything I could to fix it. I have no means of getting a new one, so unless I can find a scanner and y'all are okay with colorless paper drawings, I won't be able to make updates for a while. I'm extremely sorry about this, but my tablet's almost 6 years old and I think it's just had enough. I'll try to get a scanner as quickly as I can(I used to have one but it's broken now rip) so I can at least post something. So I'll see you all when I can start posting again~ <3))

Do you ever wish there were other Shadow ponies on tumblr that you could talk too?

I don't want to see those imbeciles ever! If I never see them again, it'll be too soon.

((to anon: yes pls she is a v lonely child and needs friends))

[childishshadowpony]

((Ask box is officially reopened!

I'm gonna try and post things either every Thursday or every Friday while I get my other blog set up. It'll be a while before that tho, so don't worry. I'll also keep this posting once every 1-2 weeks after the other blog is set up. 

But yeah, feel free to ask whatever you want !!))

For those wondering if I'm coming back: probably

I've been having a lot of problems recently, such as my computer's been acting up badly for months now and I can't get a new one(prays that I get one for Christmas) and I have a nasty case of eczema that's just gotten worse and worse over the year. I would love to bring this blog back I love you all so much, but the problems I'm having is making it really hard to do so. I'm trying to get these fixed(especially my hands like that's what's holding me back the most)

Somewhat off topic, but I've also been working on a new, big project. It's not going to be for this blog, sadly, but I will post about it once it's ready or when I get this blog up and running again. Hopefully when next year starts, maybe in February(no promises though). Once the new blog starts, this blog's going to become somewhat of a side project, but will still be posted on and have the infrequent updates it used to have.

Can you exit the TV World freely?

I’m fine staying there in my base. Besides, even if I could leave, I’m sure the my other self and her friends wouldn’t be too happy.

[asknaopony]

you wear more clothes than me i’m sure you’d be fine

[childishshadowpony]

Do you really want me to go out there in your world?

Do you really?

After you’ve kept me hidden away for so long??

[asknaopony]

yeah why not

and spoiler alert you’re not really hidden anymore so. everyone kinda knows about you. we were all there remember

good times

[childishshadowpony]

[asknaopony]

[childishshadowpony]

[childishshadowpony]

[posts something then disappears for another month]

[asknaopony]

it’s the thought that counts though I guess

[childishshadowpony]

Do you abide by the rules of Celestia's and Luna's shadows then? ...Wait, isn't Luna's Shadow Nightmare Moon?

A few things wrong with your theory, allow me to start with the TV world.

The TV world is limited to Inaba only. You wouldn't think it, but if it wasn't, you'd see people who weren't even in Japan on the Midnight Channel, such as Miley Cyrus(especially Miley Cyrus) or Obama or something you see on TV a lot of the time. That also includes where the fog sets, even in December. You wouldn't think it, but the end of the world was actually the end of Inaba and then spreading to the rest of the world, causing its inevitable death and rebirth to become the Shadow World. The Equestrian Princesses are not in Inaba, so of course they wouldn't be ruling the TV world.

Next, the psyche. This is where everyone is connected, even your long lost pony pal you haven't seen since you were a small horse. Everyone is their own individual there, no one rules over the other. This is where everyone's shadows are, even though they haven't taken form. Shadows are just a part of you that are hidden away, they have no real form unless they come into the TV world and start thinking too much.

Lastly, Shadows. The common shadows you fight are just thoughts by everyone in Inaba, while Shadows like me are more personal thoughts, which is why we have more freewill than the others(though, we're still a bit unpredictable). These Shadows tend to be something completely unexpected from what you think the pony is. Such as you'd never guess that Naoto would be such a crybaby psychopath like me, now would you? Chances are, Celestia wouldn't even want to rule over us.

So yes, theoretically, Nightmare Moon could be Luna's Shadow. However, she does not take form in the TV world, so there it no way she could rule over us. If it is her Shadow, then the situation's a lot like Namatame's and Adachi's Shadows, where their Shadows took over them instead of taking a different form.

[childishshadowpony]

Ever hear of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, the rulers of Equestria? If so, what are your thoughts on them?

[asknaopony]

why the heckie is everything i draw so shiny

[childishshadowpony]

Sure other me...surreeeeeeee......
