Does Pinkie still stick around Fluttershy to help her out? It seems like those two and Twilight are the only ones that have a chance to stop Discord
"If I start growing a third eye, it's your fault..." -Fluttershy
Oh yeah, Pinkie is more than happy to stick around her good friend Fluttershy. With one being immune whilst the other seems to be thriving in the chaos? There's no stopping the ragtag team in stopping discord in his reign. Twi gets breaks!

THE HEARTACHE OF CHAOS - INFECTION AU
ZECORA : Status - Immune
Page 1 - - "So it really was needed." Next to an image of poison joke - "Oh Fluttershy what a happy view! You may see my face true! You have no idea what i've been through..." - She seems to "plant" herself in the soil for camouflage...quite literally so grounded. Page 2 - Potion of Holding

I can't believe that worked! Thank the stars I trusted that letter, if it weren't for zecora twilight would've been long gone. They seem to have been planning this a while, had remedy ready as soon as I arrived "A cut off, a feeling of joy, and think of a joke In the face of fear, keep your mind clear, and laugh at yourself. Think of friends, remember it true, when you're in danger, dream of change"
To be without fear, stuck in a memory. Oh I envy you, Twilight.
GUH! Two pages are done and yes this series is still alive I've just been...unholy levels of busy, but since the holidays are behind us, and I have a lot more time to focus on art I feel as though I can finally return to my plans and continue this thing! Thank you all for your patience, I know I've been a while. More is coming soon!
I've been trying to upload this for weeks, I think the file size is too big for Tumblr or smt
Anyway here is some animation practice
Thank you to @gorjee-art for inspiration with their amazing comics and artwork
It's low quality for many reasons, I just wish the loop was more smoother. Alas I've tried uploading it as a normal gif but it was alwayse stuck uploading and never uploaded
Hopefully this post actually uploads
I haven't animated in a while too so I am a little out of practice ehe
HOLY FART BALLS
I don't know how you got the image of the movement I had in my mind so clearly but this is GORGEOUS!, DOWN TO THE MOVING SPIRAL ON HIS NECK, BRAVO!
doodled a silly interpretation of u as a unicorn if it counts
Oh this little art is so cuuuute, I couldn't help but admire it a little more.

MLP INFECTION AU - HEARTACHE OF CHAOS CUSTOM PAGE COMMISSION
Finally! I'm doing as the crowd demands, and I am finally making custom HOC journal pages. While I'm starting with patrons first and my slots have quickly filled up, I will yell to you all when they are open again. Here's greenwolf for @moon-wolfie !
(Heartache of chaos ask) where is spike? I want to hope he’s immune, or at least that his mind is intact like Zecora…
Children are...an interesting breed in a world now engulfed in chaos. To still believe in childish things, the blessing of constant change, where minds are not fully intact. How can madness be placed in a mind never quite sane...? To them, this is no apocalypse, but a fable with an end and a lesson to learn. Mighty hardy they are, so full of vigor and rage for every injustice. The youth are our future and will fight for a better tomorrow. Chaos could never affect them, for they were born from it. Little tornadoes, keepers of havoc, you will see the sun yet again.
-and little dragon, be brave now. Your fire will pave the roads for you are hope.
Your HofC AU is really interesting and I absolutely love it! I can't recall ever seeing an infection AU play off a curse causes by chaos ( then again maybe I just haven't looked well enough )
But I did have a question pertaining to the AU. What was the creative process like for its creation? How did you settle on your infection AU having a curse rather than a virus or parasite? Was Discord and chaos always the catalyst to the outbreak, or did it change overtime?
Sorry if I'm a bit overwhelming with this ask, but your AU is genuinely one of the only infection AU's I've felt a draw to after seeing one post about it ( wasn't even an official post by you, it was fanart! ). It probably has something to do with my frustration at the lack of Discord in infection AUs bc he kinda is the fix-all for any issue, but this ask is already long enough so I won't rant here.
Firstly! Awww...<:) Secondly, my creative process, short answer? It came to be like a bat out of hell in the middle of my sleep, and I got so pissed off at myself that I was IMMEDIATELY entranced by the idea, that I grumbled as I stomped over to my cintiq and made a quick doodle showcasing my idea of a Fluttershy with twilight's severed head (Haha mimir style how funny, i'm funny) as I passed out once again.
The long answer? Well you're right on the money when a big force is a...frustration when it comes to the lack of Discord's power both in the original show and several infection au's where his chaos magic is overlooked in infection au's. Now I'm not fully knocking it as it just might not be a narrative that the writer wants but I always felt as though Discord as even a concept in the show has a--tinge of horror in it.
His nonchalant attitude towards his ability to change the world with (quite literally) the snap of his finger, change minds of ponies and seemingly "corrupt" it (ie Discorded states, Screwball I will get to her eventually) , and mind you...give and take away limbs of ponies with a flash to stop them from "cheating" at his maze, while Celestia has to do a whole song and dance to give twilight her wings, told me that Discord is a near ancient deity, a myth, an impossibility not meant to be comprehended, but what INTERESTED ME was his childish, mortal want, to be loved.
What happens when a force of nature, the nature of entropy and chaos, wants to be human? Breaking said laws of nature to present himself as mortal for the sake of making friends. Good friends at that, (I will get to cosmos eventually), sounds like a greek tragedy to me. What happens when hades gets tired of living underground? To break the laws of nature! Is the very law of Discord, and the idea that alone would make him lose his control over his power TERRIFIES me.
I like inescapable horror, ie Junji Ito's Uzumaki, the various Silent Hills, Hereditary, and especially Darkwood, Oh god darkwood was a HUGE inspiration for this especially when it comes to how savages and creatures are formed, and I don't feel it's utilized enough in MLP grimdarks due to the influence of the famous shockhorror of cupcakes being so bloody and gruesome with--no real reason. (Now I have a big gooey massive softspot for cupcakes, as I grew up with creepypastas and looking at scary videos when I shouldn't be) thus influencing the gore aspects in alot of infection aus, BUT there's too many times in the original show alone where magic is finnicky and famously difficult to do, because of so many things that can go awry. I wanted to focus on the canon implications cause it makes me salivate cause it's begging to be lovecraftian, but it's a kids show with very cute colorful ponies praising friendship as it's one true god and it can't possibly go outside those restrictions. But i'm possibly insane, so lets go for it. Thus the rest was history
Papa shroud papa shroud papa shroud
Finding out about Sonar wanting his son
OH GOD!
I can fucking see it now!
Shroud finding out Robert got into a bar fight with his men and goes to his apartment, disguised as a package delivery person, to make sure he's alright (the box is full of fruits, cool clothes for the summer and Twinkies).
Only to see the coke loving man bat walk into the building holding two coffees.
He's curious on why he's here when he sees him put the coffee down and start nervously fixing his tie and fixing his..fur?
Just then Robert comes down and is shocked to see Sonar who gives him the coffee and starts to casually flirt.
Flirt.
FLIRT?!
WITH SHROUDS BABY?! FUCK NO!
So he "accidentally" bumps him with the box and makes him spill his coffee all over his chest and suit.
He smirks and apologizes.
Later on he sends more and more of his men after Sonar during work hours and when it's time to go home, then when it's time to go home and Sonar is trying (with the encouragement of Mal and Punch Up) to ask Robert if he could walk him home, Shroud immediately puts a stop to that by having one of his spies start a bs fight with the bat.
Fuck, he even goes so far as to start planning the man bats "accidental" overdose.
Ain't nobody taking his baby away from him like Astral and Chase did.
How do we feel about the theory that "Pom Pom is related to Chase"?
Cus I think it has some delightful fluff and angst possibilities, but theres also a chance Trackstar was Pom Pom's inspiration or her mentor.
Lore:
Are both African-American speedster heroes with a highschool sports aesthetic - a track & field athelete, and cheerleader.
Pom Pom in the dispatching tutorial canonicaly giggles "Keep up!" when she's selected for a mission.
Pom Pom has no canonical age, but her appearance may be affected if she inherited Chase's speed aging.
Pom Pom's color scheme is a pastel version of Track Star's. Pastel blue, coral red and white vs cyan, scarlet red, and white.
Chase alludes to having a past girlfriend he still thinks about (if you cut Coupe). She was taller than him, and liked kissing him on the head. Lost love?
Would not put it past a relative of Track Star deciding to follow his footsteps, despite protests.
Thoughts?
Now I'm just hoping for an "oops, all parents" au where for some reason or another every member of z-team has a kid
Hehehe
I spent some time figuring out who'd have bio or adopted kids, who's more of an aunt/uncle/big sibling figure, and I think I got it down. Went back to an older post I made where I discussed how good each character probably is with kids.
Robert: Currently pregnant (as per normal in my aus), and/or has a certain shape-shifting toddler (Abigail). Won't reveal who the other parent is. Basically the protagonist of an otome game rn.
Sonar/Victor: Werewolf baby. One of Victor's first ever big missions was to enter a suspected dog-fighting ring - only to find out that the ultimate prize was in fact a baby werewolf/wolf hybrid. Victor doesn't want to think what the baby's fate was going to be if him and SDN didn't step in. Artemis "Artie" is a healthy, if destructive puppy of a two year old, who loves their big scary bat-dad very much. Has zero fear of Victor's megabat form.
Flambae/Chad: Primary guardian of his sibling's kid; whether due to sickness, imprisonment, or death in the family. Struggling with being both the fun uncle and responsible father-figure to his niece. May or may not be the same niece he attends dance recitals for. Parisa is combative little girl with Ifrit heritage, able to fly using wings of fire. She loves her uncle, but is still emotionally grappling with the loss of her parent and often lashes out at him. Latches on to Mecha Man as her favourite hero, feeling a connection with his own well-known losses.
Invisigal/Courtney: Accidentally acquired a Lil shithead kid dragged into Red Ring gang. Courtney strikes me as very much a big-sister figure, but she would be very protective of any kid she considered Hers. Tiano was yet another kid without a family, drawn in by the Red Ring's promises of camaraderie and aid. His powers grant him the ability to see heat signatures - and nothing else. Tiano did minor scouting and delivery jobs for the Red Ring in hopes of eventually gaining a sight augment. He was made to shadow Courtney, with the invisible thief acting as his mentor and big-sister. After the Mecha Man explosion, Courtney packed everything up and took Tiano with her. Tiano is as about as disrespectful and emotionally unstable as a kid being raised by criminals could be, but he's getting better. Relationship with Courtney is fractured - he sees her leaving the Red Ring as a form of betrayal to their criminal family. Has reptilian features.
Punch Up/Colm: Stole Adopted a hybrid kid from the circus freakshow. When Colm was cursed, he knew that his days as a strongman were limited, so he took off to adapt to his new height/abled status. Sometime after meeting Coupe, he decided to revisit the same circus to see how things were getting on. There he met the new star attraction. Muirgen is a seal hybrid sold to the carnival freakshow as a toddler due to their limited mobility and specialised needs. Colm decided that wasn't on, and asked Coupe help him with the adoption - i.e. kidnapping the toddler from the circus, forging adoption papers, and sneaking them into America. Muirgen is currently a cheerful preteen boy with mobility aids, already taller than his dear Da. Idolises hybrid superheroes.
Prism/Alice: Proud mom of a very spoiled (and fashionable) bay girl named Cadence. Baby was the result of a messy ex-relationship that Alice is happy to put in the past. Keeps her daughter separated from her super identity as much as possible, save for a rare interview where Cadence was still very young - wearing a miniature version of her mama's hero outfit. Cadence is currently three years old and holds more confidence than half the adults in SDN.
Golem/Bruno: Baby Kaiju he names Pebble. Same one Z-Team encounters on the job. Pebble is a marine kaiju, so she needs a lot of time in the water. Bruno and Herman regularly meet up so their guppies can swim together.
Coupe/Janelle: Discovered that a little girl was being groomed by the mob to become an assassin like she had been. Janelle killed the leaders of the program and unofficially adopted the girl as her own. Odile is an unsettling little girl, albinistic (white hair, pearly skin, red eyes etc) sans her black wings. Odile is gradually opening up to being a little kid again. Loves fairytales and cartoons about princesses.
Waterboy/Herman: Has his lil waterbaby Kai from this au idea! College sweetheart dipped after the baby was born, leaving Herman sole custody. Kai is an axolotl/tadpole-shaped baby, who's very picky about who holds him. Herman is very tired but happy.
Phenomaman/Katon-Ur: Has an adopted daughter. Some time ago, a pod from the planet Urgot-52bc landed on Earth containing a single large egg and a note. Phenomaman was contacted to discern the pod's contents, and with a mournful expression held the egg in his arms. "She has been abandoned. They call her Unwanted. What a terrible thing to call a child." He then publically announced his adoption of the alien egg-soon-a-baby. Nova hatches into an odd-looking baby during the course of the canon timeline, but the others treat her the same as any other of their kids. Nova hasn't figured out how to fly yet, only float an inch or so off the ground.
+extended SDN crew:
Blonde Blazer/Mandy: Met an orphaned kid with high heroic potential, and accidentally did a Batman and adopted them. Blazer responded to a villain attack where a child named Sherry was left orphaned, leaving the kid in judicial limbo until the villain responsible was caught. Through interacting with Sherry in civilian-mode, Mandy became very attached to them. Mandy agreed to take on Sherry, not only as an adoptive parent but also as a heroic mentor. Sherry does not have an amulet of their own, but has a whole concept folder of their future heroic persona; Scarlet Blazer - named for their bright red hair. Very nerdy about getting to meet the Mecha Man.
Royd/Roy: After a few years in the Phoenix Programme, Royd decided he wanted to make the plunge and become a foster parent. As the program saw potential in him, he wants to see realised in at-risk kids. Current foster kid may become a "foster fail" aka full adoption. Hokulani is seven years old, and was the target of significant discrimination in their last group home due to their island heritage. Still very stand-offish towards others, but is interested in marine exploration.
Trackstar/Chase: He has Robert. Also may or may not be Pom Pom's father/relative/mentor as per this post. Is an adoring, proud dad figure who swears he's not spoiling them (he is).
