more info about the design choices under the cut!! 💃
i gave all three friendship bracelets and tweaked up markings n such!
i realized it would be impractical for AJ to have her mane cover her eyes (even though i Really like that design idea and Want to give it to someone from the mane six, i can’t figure out who at all), so i gave that to applebloom instead!
scoots gets some goggles, as well as some pig tails as a callback to g3.5!! shes also related to cheerilee in some way for my version of these guys, but i’m not sure how yet! also her cutiemark was tweaked a lil bit, the symbol in the shield-like thing is a butterfly but with pegasus wings! :P
sweetiebelle i kept quite simple, i gave her a green tone to her coat since i gave rarity a yellow tone, i gave her similar markings to rarity as well, and a longer mane! plus i added a bell necklace and golden diamond shaped earrings to match (given to her by rarity of course!)
I didn’t know until like. Today that Twist’s lisp wasn’t because of the braces = lisp stereotype or anything(also didn’t know until getting the reference image she didn’t have braces). According to the wiki it’s a speech impediment, so I’m keeping it as that. She still has braces just the kind both my siblings had (neither of them had a lisp while wearing braces & I haven’t needed braces yet)
Scootaloo also can’t fold her wings in. Part of her flightlessness
Anyways pretty much the same as canon except Applebloom & Twist don’t suddenly stop being friends cuz Twist gets her cutie mark
Obligatory peeled Scoots & Twist under cut (deglasses’d & De-winged)
I've been hanging onto these for a long while and I've been so very excited to share them! I've been slowly writing my own infection au, while trying to figure out writing for personalities and conflicts, to better understand them myself, but I'll try to keep key points intact for each character!
I'm also going to be practicing poses, expressions, and body-types in a cartoonish style! I will be doing new things occasionally, in colors, always, as an artist. I don't know how well it will transverse from screen to screen on devices!
I'm still very in love with all these AUs, and wish people would share with me! Reblog, go wild in your tags, I will read! Please, interact!
To also provoke questions: Facts about my characters! ; A read more.
All of the CMC have some form of muscle built for/from various needs and reasons! Their body types pull into this just as much!
Scootaloo is the tallest and slimmest. Sweetie is chubby and shortest of them. Bloom just works very hard to keep her beef, more on that later! They're always running around, doing strong things as fillies!
Ack! There's reasoning for Sweetie to be lacking the CMC! As she travels to Canterlot more often with Rarity for Trips, though of course that means she's working for the CMC there too. She's just busy running supplies runs and running the shop, while promoting newer teen clothing.
Sweetie has a single scar from their misadventures as young fillies, which makes Rarity fret to no end. First time she saw it, she screamed, but she understands the trouble thanks to her own journey. Belle also understands her sisters worry, but she feels stronger with it. She's also glad to be matching Applebloom.
Which is great, because Scoots and Bloom have matching eyebrow scars too. They all chat about the stories behind them too.
AB gets hers from all the work she does from working and disciplining herself between The Orchard with Jack and Bic Mac or Pinkie Pie and the Sugarcube Corner. Her spirit boils to hard work, and her will is rock solid in that motif/lifestyle. She gets 6, sometimes 7 if she's lucky, hours of sleep with a strict bedtime.
Scootaloo is still a little sleazy in working, and is slowly working the courage to ask Applebloom about that life style motivation junk. She's been trying to since before her flight exam. In this RF AU, she passes her test. A genetic defect in her wings made them too small to functionally fly, but she can glide in average lengths for functional Pegasi wings. With this information, RD had taken it into account that some Disabled Pegasi can get smaller jobs inside the facility as messengers, with hopes to give Scootaloo a position (Unbeknownst to her little sister.) This implemented a course for Disabled Pegasi.
EDITING ONE TIME, because I forgot to talk more on the Ochard and Baking thing!
Applebloom is absolutely capable of rocking someone's shit cause Pinkie has her doing rough and hard labor! She's always moving ovens, reorganizing, sharpening, and cleaning items! A constant move over there!
And when she's home on her Sister's Farm, she's bucking every tree in sight until her fur is tufts of drying sweat at the end of the day.
She's also going back and forth on CMC involved Missions with Scootaloo, since she views her Cutie Mark as her work and all, a lives goal, Girl's got plans and schedule!
I believe that's all I'll share for now! I will be thinking and mulling over on everything in my head, but the process is admittedly a slow one that I want to put care into. My mental health often times affects my motivation which results in horrid burn out, only recently I've been giving myself art breaks I'm hoping talking with the fandom and engaging will help me feel better about doing all this work myself! (It is a rough, rewarding endeavor!)
