i made this on my laptop, not my tablet, so the style is a little diff.... ANYWAY PUTTING MORE OCS INTO @thiscatdraws EXILEVERSE AU!!! HUZZAH!!! YUPPIEE!!!! YIPPIEE!!!! (canon ocs different)

crystalline truth and her husband pomegranite burst (yes it's a play on both fruit AND rocks) are ponies who reside within the crystal kingdom, leading established careers in jewelry related fashion and a wine tycoon respectively.

both grew up in homes where they weren't treated properly, crystalline truth in one that exploited her talent of seeing the occasional vision and pomme in one where his mother spent more time worshipping than listening, so his voice didn't matter.

neither of them wished to be this way moving forward, establishing their lives as far away as their parents as they could possibly manage; the crystal empire.

crystalline truth established her own boutique as a jewelry smith, abandoning her third eye as it had forsaken her entire upbringing, only using when it forces her to, to keep herself and her husband as safe as she can. she utilizes the natural abundance of minerals in the surrounding caves, making gorgeous pieces that go for hefty prices, boasting about how her pieces are going to be the "next it thing" and they should be bought to stay relevant.

pomegranite burst inherited his father's business after his untimely passing, managing the orchard and wine tycoon from his new home, making frequent trips to keep an eye on things. when he is away, he has another point he hoof-appointed to manage things. he sells his products at local farmers markets, large events, and wherever he can in between.

the both of them keep to themselves, balancing their work the best they can with their social lives and contemplation over possible incoming "familial" matters. they often struggle to write back to their other friends, causing some guilt for not being able to reach some of their more... anxious, shut-in friends, causing them to worry about their well-being. (be that as it may, crystalline truth seems quite aloof but under the surface, she is just as emotionally unbalanced as her husband!)

omg omg hiiii hopping onto mlp shenanigans;

okay so i adore @thiscatdraws exileverse au and i've been itching to redesign tiny trot specifically for this au (canon tiny is very different lol)

tiny trot was very promising student, studying time magic at one of the most prestegious schools in his area. however, as he was growing up he found himself progressively more isolated from his peers both due to his own mental status and his academic success, which unfortunately earned him a falsified reputation for believing himself "more talented than everypony else."

as he moved through school, he took his focus away from his peers and 'relatable' news and put all of it into real world and future issues.

bad vision after bad vision, paranoia chilled his blood until he decided he no longer wished to go outside. he takes jobs on a mail basis and does everything possible to not take a step into the world "as it's slowly becoming more and more dangerous."

is it possible he's looking at too narrow a lens and missing positivity that would be healthy for him? or is there nothing but danger and destruction he's doing a good job at avoiding?
