Rainbow has an important message

[dizzydores]

I've had this au idea bumping around in my head. It's a Mom Celestia au where Twilight is adopted by Celestia after she passes her exam and Cadence is adopted after she ascended years before that.

I'm thinking that Twilight is wholly unrelated to Shining Armor and she simply thinks of him as a big brother after meeting him thanks to Cadence.

I imagine the story would follow young Twilight coming to terms with what suddenly being a princess means for her and how she grows to fill that role. It'd be heavy with feeling of inadequacy balanced by feelings of yearning.

On Celestia's end it'd be a story of motherhood. I'm thinking she becomes close friends with Shining's parents. It'd mostly answer the question of what she would do, how far would she go, for Twilight and Cadence.

As for Cadence, it'd have a bit of what's going on with Twilight, but it'd mostly be a story about responsibility. That of the oldest sibling, of a fledgling young adult, and of a romantic partner. It'd of course have a subplot between Shining and her.

I came up with a basic overarching plot tying all of this together which would at first be how the nobles don't accept Twilight as Celstia's daughter as unlike Cadence who was adopted after her ascension to Alicornhood, Twilight was just a unicorn. But soon this would be resolved or overshadowed by an evil that threatened life in equestria. I was thinking a weakened Grogar managed to trick Celestia and took her magic to make what a friend has dubbed "rip off sun-wukon", leaving Cadence to sneak off to try and defeat him only for Shining to insist on coming and in their bickering missing that Twilight hitched a ride and now it's a bit too late to turn back so she gets to come along.

It's not very well thought out but I started writing a bit. I've gotten a few lines but I hate starting stories, it's always so hard.

A far off idea is that it'll all end with Grogar taking magic from the moon itself to make a lunar counterpart to "rip off sun-wukon" which causes Nightmare moon to be released early at the next Summer Sun celebration. I'm thinking maybe I can write a sequel where Twilight meets her friends sooner but I haven't thought too deeply on that yet.

Kinda can't write a sequel to something that hasn't been written yet.

Any criticism or ideas on how to write this are welcome!

"The creative team considers how the personality of each character translates into facial expressions, body language, props, and home environment. The Mane Six -- Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Apple Jack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie -- each have expressions and style characteristics that are unique to that character, as well as general expressions that they all share. According to the DHX Media team, 'There are certainly characters that would make different expressions, like you might do something with Pinkie Pie that you would never do with Applejack or Twilight or Rarity. So we don't have something that's specific for just one character, but we avoid certain expressions if it goes outside their personalities.'"

I put so much work into making a distinct way my au ponies and changelings look. I know exactly how the environment would look. I know how the magic would look. BUT I SUCK ASS AT DRAWING/RENDERING IT. There's a god out there and it's Loki because no one else would give me such vivid imagination and love of art, but worse art skill than a toddler. PLEASE I JUST WANNA MAKE AN AU COMIC AND IM TOO BROKE TO COMMISSION IT!

[jenlog]

this is from the 2000’s btw

[anarchopuppy]

Looks like @staff mistakenly censored this comic, which is an ironic and very funny thing to happen

Here it is again. You might want to save it just in case an accident like that happens again

EDIT: HMM. LOOKS LIKE OP WAS BANNED TOO. WHAT A FUNNY. IRONIC. ACCIDENT

[dizzydores]

Ha ha hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[dizzydores]

I finally got around to writing A Tale of Awkward Equines and wanted to post how they look! (No I didn't. Fimfiction just sucks at letting you upload images and linking to Tumblr was the most convenient for me.)

Dawn Star! Guess, just guess which of the 4 alicorns she is. Celestia! I'm kidding, its Twilight. Just without her wings, a singular 4 point star cutie mark, and a different mane style.

Gold Heart! She was the hardest to make. Such soft colors and then there's yellow which is hard to ad well but it looked wrong when I omitted it. She has a shining golden heart cutie mark.

Sunny Skies and Night Skies! I had to make 'em match. Couldn't resist. They resemble what Earth Ponies look like in my au while not being earth ponies while disguised. In other words, they look like how they were before becoming alicorns. I like them the most.

[dizzydores]

New pfp and the final look for my MLP oc. I've put too much though into how the pony races look before making this. Too much thought.

I have been uncontrollably taken by the idea of what drugs might look like in the mlp world. I’ll make a few in the following weeks.

[just-french-me-up]

this is a PSA for fic writers who haven't updated in a while :

there are fics out there I'm subscribed to that have gone double digit months without updating.

rest assured the moment those babies catapult an AO3 email my way i'm dropping from the face of the earth to sink my teeth into them

i'll wait, and so will your readers

[dizzydores]

im still waiting for a fic that hasn’t updated in literal years. We really will wait a long time. Don’t stress

[misslu999]

I really love reading all those genshin fanfics with Fontaine’s characters but sometimes, as a french, I am a bit trigger by the way some people write wrongly some french words… I saw a « Mon chéri » to designate a female reader…

Here a free french lesson:

Mon - is a masculine pronoun

So when you say « Mon chéri » it’s toward a male character

If you want to designate a girl you have to use the female pronoun : Ma

And so the full sentence is « Ma chériE »

Do not forget to put the « E » at the end because it’s a girl for a guy, no need to.

And if you want to designate severate persons:

- You use the pronoun : Mes

You can use it to definite both girls/boys/girls and boys /Any genders together!

BUT

Be careful if you want to say « Mes chéris »

You will need to put the E if it’s a group of girls : « Mes chéries »

If It’s a group of boys and girls do not put the E Because the male win so just write: « Mes chéris »

If you want to use it for the pronoun « Them » feel free use any versions.

Well everything I said works for any genders, and are masculine word so you don’t use the Ma.

To conclude:

MA : Female Pronoun - Use only to designate a female word or person.

Examples: Ma fleur (My flower), Ma princesse (My princess), Ma choupette (My little One? There isn’t a real translation but it’s a sweet french nickname you can say to your lover), Ma moitié (My half), Ma copine(My girlfriend), Ma femme (My wife, My woman)…

The word my Ma moitié works to designate any gender.

MON: Male Pronoun - Use to designate a male word or person. Is the most utilisate!

Examples: Mon coeur (my heart or sweetheart), Mon amour (My love), Mon ange (My angel), Mon bébé (my baby), Mon sucre d’orge (My candy… but it’s like ma choupette doesn’t have a real translation), Mon choupinet (My little one?), Mon copain (My boyfriend), Mon homme/Mon Mari (My man/My husband)

All those words are usable to designate any gender expect for Mon copain/Mon homme/Mon mari

MES: Them pronoun or to designate severate persons or stuffs !

Examples: Mes amours (My loves), Mes princesses (My princess), Mes copains (My boyfriends), Mes copines (My girlfriends)…

Do not forget to put the « S » at the end of each word!

You can also use the word « Petit » (little) between the pronoun and the word, personally I find it a bit more romantic and sweet to use like: Mon petit coeur (My Little heart), Mon petit ange (My little angel), Ma petitE fleur (My little flower), Ma petit(e)-ami(e)(My girfriend/boyfriend), Mon petit sucre d’orge, Mes petits coeurs (My little hearts)…

French is hard to use so if you have any questions or doubts about a french word you want to use while writing please feel free to ask me ! I am always willing to help!

[dizzydores]

I’m learning French so thank you so much for posting this!

Is it appropriate to criticize someone else's fanfiction publicly? Why or why not?

Yes, including places they are near-guaranteed to see it, i.e. their comments

Yes, but only somewhere they aren't guaranteed to see it, i.e. your own tumblr

No, not at all

Voting ended onFeb 4, 2024

Publicly here involves anything that anyone in a broader community can see without having to join, say, a discord server. You can be more specific in the tags. If your answer would change based on which fandom or community the fic belongs to, vote for the option that best reflects the community most open to public criticism of an author's work.

[zillyblog]

The number of people voting "yes" is so exhausting. Fanfiction is a privilege, not a right. You're being allowed to see someone's personal work.

Unless someone specifically asks for critique, don't give it. If it's anything you're not paying for, it's rude as hell to criticize it publicly. Fanfiction is a hobby someone does to make themselves happy, for positive interaction, for fun. It's not mass media that needs to be held to any standard.

When you criticize fanwork, you're criticizing an individual, not a faceless corporate entity.

[dizzydores]

I think this is right and wrong.

What I mean is that if it’s constructive, polite, and well worded, then sure. I see nothing wrong with some soft constructive criticism in the fanfic space.

Now if you’re being a bitch about it then yea, you can shove that sentence you’re about to vomit out right up your ass.

So, like most things, just don’t be a bitch about it. And in this case, remember that it’s fanfiction, it’s a hobby for pure fun and sometimes it’s meant to just be some incoherent fever dream. That’s what makes fanfics fun, being able to write something you love without the pressure of mainstream media and publishing. Plus, for the few out there using these as practice, getting ideas out without worry is healthy and helps get the creative juices flowing.

(Extra thing for any worried about making the perfect fanfic, which is I guess a bit for myself as well. Don’t be afraid to make a trash draft. What I mean is, don’t be afraid to make something incoherent. That’s what drafts are for.

Like a sketch when drawing, sometimes you need to make an incoherent mess to see a glimpse of the masterpiece hidden, which you will later be able to render from that sketch.

Have a little faith in yourself and enjoy the journey.)

Corrupted Sapphire❄️🐉

I imagine that she's actually big and very dangerous, not just a stupid corrupted monster. She's smart and can do some tactics, use her vision, hunt down, use a lot of cryokinesis and understand what's going on and what she needs to do in certain situation. It'll be incredibly hard to take her down even with the whole team.

[dizzydores]

This is badass ✨

i’m not sure if there’s already a post going around because i haven’t seen one, so i’ll make my own. puerto rico was just hit with hurricane fiona and the harm that this is bringing the island is huge — it may not seem like a big disaster to many, but puerto rico cannot handle another hurricane as they have not recovered fully from hurricane maria just yet.

people are losing their homes, they don’t have electricity, no water, etc. i’m linking some sources you can donate to to help out, if you’re able to. if you can’t, a reblog counts for so much too, as it may show up in the dashboard of someone who can donate. DO NOT donate to red cross or government organizations. these are the ppals of each organization I recommend donating to!!

here is a twitter thread with more options and resources. here is another thread in spanish with a bunch more.

[paper-lilypie]

please.

[netheritenugget]

Sometimes, a fic doesn't have to get published, it can just be a series of messages on a Discord channel, between a dedicated group of friends going "oooh, you know what else would be cool?" continuously over a period of weeks and months :)

[dizzydores]

Most of my fics lmao 🤣
