starlight glimmer my beloved. tbh i think if she ascended she'd be the princess of redemption. I've seen a lot of people call her the princess of forgiveness and I like that too, but i prefer redemption since it emphasizes her choice to become a better person : )

Apple Rot Part Seven: Workhorse

Content Warning: Blood, Violence, Character Death [Mention]

The ground is stiff as Big Mac presses the shovel into it. The seasons are turning, he muses, the thought ordinary and out of place against the horrors the night has brought to his family. Granny Smith’s rudimentary grave lies only a few feet ahead of this new spot, and he tries not to let misty eyes linger on it as he concentrates on his work. 

He’s a strong pony. Strong of body, strong of mind. He won’t let this break him- he can’t. Not yet. Not until his baby sister is put to rest, and not until he knows whether his only remaining sibling is still alive. He can let the tears fall, silent, guilty, bitter, but he cannot stop what he’s doing, not until the job is done. He’s a workhorse. That’s what he’s made for. 

When the hole is deep enough, he lifts the tiny, bundled up filly, wrapped in a bloodstained quilt left behind by their late parents. He thanks all that is good and holy that they aren’t here to see this. To see him. To see what he did. As he nudges her into the cold depression in the earth, her ribbon comes undone, red hair -just like dad’s- falling to frame her face. Apart from the blood around her mouth and the black rot creeping up her face, she looks almost peaceful. Like she could be sleeping. Big Mac settles her down and starts to toss the ribbon in after her, but he thinks better of it and ties it around his shoulder instead. He’ll…have a piece of her with him, this way. An object of comfort, and a reminder of the guilt he’ll have to carry for however long he might still live. He wonders if it’ll be much longer. 

He’s just finished covering the hole and patting down the earth when Applejack runs towards him, accompanied by Fluttershy who has forgotten her ability to fly and is instead struggling to keep up on hoof. 

“Where’s Apple Bloom?” His sister is wide-eyed, and Big Mac thinks she already knows the answer. Her gaze flicks to the earth, to the ribbon he wears, and she asks again. “Big Mac, where’s Apple Bloom?”

He doesn’t speak right away- he’s usually pretty quiet, so at least that gives him some time. If he tells her the truth, if he tells her how Apple Bloom begged for mercy in between trying to tear him to shreds…

He gave her mercy, in the only way he knew how. He knows that if he explains this, Applejack will hate him, call him extreme, call him a murderer- and he was. But he also knew that whatever Granny Smith and Apple Bloom had was evil. It was rotten. It couldn’t be cured, couldn’t be slowed, and if they weren’t careful, it would rot them all. He was a workhorse, and he put himself to work. 

When he looks to Applejack again, her eyes are so wide and so scared. He needs to be a good brother to her, now more than ever. He needs to give her the answer she needs, and the answer she needs is a lie.

“Granny n’ Apple Bloom…they got real sick after you left. Passed away in their beds, I- I brought ‘em out here. Put ‘em to rest in the orchard. I- I’m sorry, Applejack. But they were…themselves, when it happened.”

He’s glad in this moment that his coat is already red. It hides the blood he would not have been able to explain away. 

Applejack stares numbly at him, before falling to the ground in screaming sobs. She curses him, and he takes it. He only interrupts her when he starts hearing groans from the far orchard.

“Applejack. You gotta go.” 

She looks up at him, voice hoarse as she balks. “Like hell I’m goin’ anywhere! Not without Granny, and Apple Bloom-”

“You gotta go.” Big Mac repeats himself, and draws himself up to his full height as he nods towards the orchard, shambling figures beginning to break through the treeline. “This is our fault, AJ. The cider- it made Granny and Apple Bloom sick, probably made everypony sick. You gotta get to Twilight’s and tell her. She can- she can fix it. She has to.” 

Fluttershy is tugging on Applejack’s leg, trying to get her to move, to listen to her brother. 

Applejack is finally coherent enough to listen, and she quickly wipes her eyes as she pulls herself together, even just momentarily. That’s his sister- she’s a workhorse, too. Always knows when there’s a job to do. “What’re you gonna do?” She asks him, and he keeps his green eyes locked on the shambling figures, which are beginning to break out into a clumsy gallop. 

“I’m gonna stay on our farm. And I’m gonna buy you time.” 

When Applejack and Fluttershy hesitate again, Big Mac yells at them to leave, just as he told Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo not even a few hours before. He isn’t satisfied until they’re just dark shapes in the moonlight, and only then does he turn back to face the sick ponies barreling toward him. For the final time, Big Mac picks up the shovel.

Ren Inoue - Omnisexual, Genderfluid (He/She/They) Hero Name: Undead Quirk: Zombie

Ren's quirk increases her strength and makes them unable to feel pain or fatigue. He can also temporarily brainwash someone by biting them, as her saliva reacts with their blood and allows her some (limited) control over their movements. The duration of the effect varies by the target's blood type. They're a close-combat endurance fighter, as she struggles with speed and agility. She's ranked among the top five "Heroes who Look like Villains."

Strengths:

-Cannot feel pain/get tired -Heightened physical strength -Limited mind control

Weaknesses:

-Does not notice injuries -Slow, limited mobility -Insatiable hunger (Must eat raw meat to quell cravings for human flesh)

Additional info:

Ren Inoue is a recent graduate from UA and interned under both Gang Orca and Fatgum. His appreciation for both heroes has turned into a lifelong dedication, and she often wears their merch when she's dressed casually. They worked as a sidekick at Fatgum's agency for a short time before striking out on their own. They stop by occasionally to meet Fatgum's new interns and catch up with her old mentor. She also stops by to see Gang Orca from time to time.

Ren is an extremely unpopular hero amongst the public for her off-putting appearance and stiff, awkward movement. The individuals they've rescued are die-hard fans, though, and have created a small but dedicated fan club.

Ren has a speech impediment that causes them to slur his words.

Ren does not have any official merchandise like most pro heroes do. No company has ever reached out and asked for a partnership, and Ren refuses to grovel. Her fan club makes all of their own merch.

Out of all the pro-heroes, Death Arms is the one Ren gets along with the least. Secretly she hates him, and avoids working with him whenever possible.

Ren is related to a notable villain. Only a few people know that fact, and he's never told anyone which villain it is.

the first of a few sets of character designs for Friendship is Timeless!! Starting w the princesses + Twilight : )

Princess Celestia Age: 23

Princess Celestia is Luna’s older sister and the prized pupil of Starswirl the Bearded. Under his guidance, she learns both magic and diplomacy, and unbeknownst to her, she is being trained to wield the Elements of Harmony. She gained recognition at a young age for her ability to raise the sun all on her own, without depleting her magic. Many ponies across the disconnected republics are looking to her for guidance, though she feels unworthy of so much adoration. She’s shy around new ponies and very softspoken, and worries that when the time comes, she won’t be able to be the ruler that everypony wants her to be. She has a goofy side that hardly ever gets the opportunity to show itself, and she loves running around and playing silly games with her sister and her new friend Twilight whenever she can. She adores her new friend Twilight and looks up to her as a capable, intelligent pony. Though it took her some time to warm up to the strange unicorn, now she happily chatters away about her life to Twilight, who in turn tells her all sorts of amazing stories from Equestria’s future.

Princess Luna Age: 19

Princess Luna is Celestia’s younger sister and the secondary pupil of Starswirl the Bearded. Starswirl isn’t impressed by her magical ability and compares her often to her older sister, and while Luna knows that that isn’t Celestia’s fault, the comparison does get frustrating. Outside of their lessons she and Celestia generally get along well, and try to make time for games so that their daily lives aren’t too boring. Though not as famous as her older sister, Luna also has a dedicated following, and gained notoriety for her ability to move the moon. She’s only recently discovered her ability to dreamwalk, and uses it to spend more quality time with her sister and her new friend Twilight. Despite being the younger sister, Luna is the more confident of the two, and warmed up to Twilight much faster than Celestia (Though nowadays it seems like Celestia and Twilight are attached at the hip). Though Celestia is more knowledgeable when it comes to magic, Luna is more clever and creative, and often wins their sparring matches by using a common spell in an unexpected way. Despite her victories, Starswirl scolds her for using ‘underhanded tricks’ rather than pure power. Luna often goes for nighttime flights just to get some alone time.

Twilight Sparkle Age: 27

Twilight Sparkle found herself centuries in the past after messing up a difficult time travel spell. Despite the challenges that come with living outside of her own time, she’s found happiness in the company of the princesses, and gets along well with both of them (though she is remarkably closer to Celestia). She studies under Starswirl as his newest student, as he took her in as a pupil after recognizing her unusual magical talent. She outperforms both Celestia and Luna in their lessons, and though Celestia is still Starswirl’s prize pupil for now, it likely won’t be long before he begins to favor Twilight. Twilight sought out the princesses after her time leap hoping for their wisdom and guidance, and was surprised to find two inexperienced alicorns a few years younger than herself. If anything, the two of them tend to defer to her judgment, and trust her to make decisions regarding their future kingdom. Twilight is the only one besides Starswirl that currently knows about the Elements of Harmony, and hopes that once Celestia and Luna are able to wield them, that they’ll be able to send her back to her own time. It may take a while, but she hasn’t given up hope of going back to her friends and family.
