(Forever together au) This begins my mlp grimdark au, a genre I’ve never fully explored, but this story has been in the back of my mind for a while now. It’s short, mysterious, and a bit creepy, so follow along with that in mind.

Well, here's the rest of the fusions. Was kind of losing interest in the end and ended up not super satisfied with some of the designs but I wanted to just get the rest of them done instead of quitting and ending up finishing them over a year later like I did after I drew the Twilight Fusions.

So here they are. There's fusions for Twilight, Starlight, Sunset, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie. I think I'm done with fusions for a while

TADC's Dead Wives

Yeah I know, very inflammatory title lol Now that the show's over, one thing that's continued to bug me is how TADC uses its dead female characters to provide some background to its male (or male presenting) cast in Kinger and Jax. For those who don't know, the dead wife trope is effectively when a female character's death is used to justify a characters actions or motivate them in some way. One of the most important things is that the character herself is stagnant, her point to the narrative is in how her absence has changed the male character's trajectory. So let's talk about Queenie and Ribbit. Queenie is the archetypal example. We don't even learn her name in the story and find out through supplementary materials. Her loss gives Kinger a character trait (liking insects) and pushes the plot forward by giving context to Kinger's current mental state. I'm not saying his current disposition is only due to her. But her inclusion is basically to reiterate that he's a very tragic character. And because she died so early in the show's timeline, there's no reason for any other character to explore her further, and thus the show does not need care about her. Simple enough, if a disappointingly blatant use of the trope. Note: I still need to watch the full English version of Episode 9 once it releases on YouTube so please criticize if I've missed things. Ribbit is a (slightly) more nuanced version, if only because of her proximity to Jax who is Goose's creator's pet. We learn she left a Mormon family, we know she wanted to ensure Jax felt included, and we know that he pushed her away which drove her to abstraction. What else can you say about Ribbit that doesn't ultimately tie into Jax? Ribbit also has little agency and humanity in the narrative. I suppose it's somewhat unfair to say a reasonable person would've been more shocked at Jax potentially killing his mom, but her rush to comfort him ensures that she's completely uncomplicated, the sweet, thoughtful woman who only wanted Jax to feel better about himself. It's... gross, honestly. And it's interesting because it's not like there weren't other options to give her agency. What does Ragatha (the person who actually calls Jax out on his shit) think about Ribbit outside of her abstraction? Heck, what does Kinger think? You might say what about Kaufmo? But Kaufmo really isn't the source of anyone's motivation? He gets a few throwaway lines about the show but he's not the source of Jax's anyone's enduring pain. I'm not the first to talk about misogyny in TADC but the fact that this is used twice in the show to varying degrees is so lazy.
