In a cramped two-bedroom apartment, the sound of soft clicks filled the room. The buzzing light and distant police sirens were your background music. You stared at the laptop screen with growing resentment, deleting another article. Another fluff piece. Another headline that wouldn't matter by next week. You had thought journalism would be what you needed to help you writer's block. But right now, the job has turned to clickbait and advertising
This was not the reason you became a journalist. The truth hunting and chasing stories that left-marks on people are what drove you. But clickbait and; according to your chief editor; chase engagement metrics are what pays for your rent and food. You could hear your roommate and part-time Life coach; Celeste come out of her room to witness your latest issue to unfold.
"Why do you look like you want to punch a hole through the screen?"
You groaned, retreating into your oversized hoodie and shutting the laptop."Do you ever just... feel like your brain forgot how to be inspired?"
Celeste raised a brow, tea in hand, sat beside you. "You need to quit... Maybe sell your soul to a webtoon publisher or something."
"I'd sell my soul if someone actually wanted it."
She chuckled, sipping casually."Please. Someone out there’s definitely got you pinned to a vision board. Tall, pale, mysterious types love women with unresolved trauma and nice eyebrows."
You rolled your eyes and turned towards her with an annoyed look, "You're an idiot."
"An idiot who still believes in you."
You couldn't help but smile at her comment. It slightly warmed your chest that someone still believed she could change the world with your words.
Pulling you from your thoughts, a harsh knock could be heard by both of you on the apartment door. You looked at the stove clock that was in your line of sight, and it read 9:00pm.
Celeste got up from her chair to look through the peephole to see who was outside. But all she saw outside was nothing. She felt something slip under the door frame and hit her feet. Celeste had picked it up and noticed your name in big, cursive letters." Who delivers a letter to you at 9:00pm on a Wednesday?"
You furrow your eyebrows "Let me see it." and then you proceed to grab the envelope from Celeste hand. It was crisp, sealed in black wax with a red full moon surrounded by seven silver stars.
"Weird... I have a necklace like that," Celeste muttered.
You braced for cult invitations, serial killers, or stalkers. But curiosity won. Inside was a letter and a recentagle paper, you hand-checked what was on the paper. You are more curious about the letter
You are formally invited to conduct several private interviews with the Yang family.
You will be granted full access to the Yang’s estate and its surrounding lands. The family has chosen you to publish their stories and believes you are more than capable of achieving their vision.
The following morning, after receiving this letter, transportation will be provided to escort you to the estate. The interviews will begin immediately @ 10:00am.
— N
In shock and disbelief, you absentmindedly hand it to Celeste. She briefly skimmed the letter "Okay, this has to be a prank? Who still writes in cursive?"
In a pure moment of wonder, you open back up your laptop and do some quick Googling. The Yang family? Practically myth. Ageless. Cult rumors. Rich beyond belief. No photos. No names. Just seven shadows whispered about in conspiracy forums. In your research, Celeste went into the rest of the contents of the Envelope
"Are you gonna do it?" Celeste asked.
"I don't know..."You reply absentmindedly, and you continue your internet deep dive
"You might have to."
"Why"You look toward her
She had a check in her hand that had your name on it, "Because they gave you a $20,000 advance."
You grab the paper and begin to inspect it to see if it's not fake. You try to find a response, but nothing but gibberish leaves your lips. You look to Celeste in desperate need of some sort of guidance, but all she offers is a shoulder shrug and the same disbelief and curiosity painted face.
" I guess I have to..." you spoke, accepting your fate.
"If you don't call me within 48 hours. I will assume you were murdered and proceed to look for a new roommate," Celeste said to put some humor. You turned to her and narrowed your eyes. Celeste raised both her hands in surrender, "I will also report you as missing, don't worry."
The road blurred past in a haze of mist and trees. Nearly 1:00 PM. You were defintely running late. The luxury car was too quiet, too nice. You couldn’t stop wondering why a secretive, mythologized family would want you—a burned-out journalist—telling their stories.
This was due to being informed upon the car's arrival this morning that you would need to bring your own 'supplies' and that you are expected to bring changes of clothes.
You don't remember at the moment if you had packed the correct things. But, you guess how much you would need, and you heard the occasion tumble of your singular suitcase. You had been gazing out the window and taking in the slow change of the skyline from a metropolitan city to a fog-filled forest.
"We will be arriving shortly, ma'am," the driver said.
This was the first time you had a driver and even being in a luxury car. You glance up toward the windshield and see large black gates opening inwards as the car slowly pulled forward. Then as clear as day in your direct eye-line past the opening gate you see it.
The mansion or the Yang's Estate looked like something of a Gothic fever dream—ivy crawling up the black stone, windows that are tall and unforgiving, and an ornate entryway. The car had come to a stop
You stepped out, trying to play it cool—until a boy appeared from behind the car, dragging your suitcase. Seventeen? He dressed in black joggers and a layered hoodie. Streetwear. Silver chain. Definitely not something like a butler or mansion staff would wear. The best assumption was possibly a child of someone in the Yang family.
You approach slowly and gently, trying to take your suitcase, "I can carry that. Are your parents home?"
He raised an eyebrow. Clearly, from his questioning stare, you assumed wrong.
"I'm so sorry. I-I just-I-assumed"
"I get that a lot. I assume you’re the interviewer."
"Yes... and you are?"
"It’s best if we head in. You’re later than expected."He proceeded to take your suitcase out of your had and bring it inside with him ; leaving you stunned.
"He probably not security either" commenting quietly and you proceed to then follow the boy inside and try to catch up to him.
Inside the manor was just as grand–velvet and bone, dark floors, Glinting frames, and stair staircase that led to the second floor of the manor. There was faint light from the chandelier, but it seemed to make the manor's interior glow like shimmering moonlight.
"I should introduce myself," he said. "These days, they call me Ni-Ki."
"These days?" you echoed. Who’s ‘they’?
But the boy going somewhere in the manor, did not give an answer. It isn't until you pass some paintings and reach what you assume is the upper west wing of the manor Ni-ki speaks again.
Stoppin at a black double door, he place your suitcase beside him. "Before you ask questions, there are rules."
Of course, they are
You think, and you hold back from rolling your eyes. You motion for Ni-ki to continue.
"One: You may only ask questions during the interviews."
"Two: Once we begin, you cannot leave until the final story is told."
" Like... I have to stay in the manor... overnight" Ni-ki Nod his head and continues listing the rule
"Three: One interview per day. No group sessions."
" Okay..." You wonder how you gonna explain to Celeste possible spending more time with the Yang's.
"Four: All devices will be collected. Phones, laptops, cameras." Ni-ki outstretch his hand and wait for you to place your phone in his hand.
"My roommate will call the police her if she doesn't her from me in the next 48 hours," You spoke still not handing you device over " Plus I need to be able to record, transcribe, and fact check for these interviews."
Unwavering Ni-ki respond " We have a library that has all the information you need for these interview. We will also provide the recording equipment that is better suited for the people you interview, and I can give you back your phone personally in 48 hours if need be."
You're journalistic brain screamed red flag, but something deeper–something you didn't have a name for–made you nod and place your phone in his hand. Then hesitantly grabbed your laptop from you backpack and gave it to him. You didn't know why you trusted him but for some reason it felt like a string had lead you to this.
Ni-ki proceeds to hand you a key and a tape recorder with his free hand, "We will proceed with the interview starting tomorrow. You should get rest, the drive here is really long."
You nod without speaking and take the key and tape recorder from his hand. Ni-ki, without saying goodbye, turned to the opposite side of the manor, leaving you there to get into the room. You proceed to unlock the room and push the heavy black double door to reveal a room that was simple in design but reminded you of a princess's–you had long forgotten the name of–room.
After finally dragging in your stuff, you go to look at the manor's many paintings. But you seem strangely drawn to the portrait at the end of the hallway near you're side of the wall. It was a portrait that had been hand-painted. There were 7 people in the portrait. The clothes they wore looked like it was out of the period drama Celeste and You watch. It was weird; the more you stared at this, the more it seemed that one of the people in the portrait looked like the boy you had just met.
You also fail to notice at end of the hall Ni-ki looking silent at you while you are explore. He think to himself in that moment that he was glad you actually came and is impatiently waiting to tell you about him.

Queen Twilight Sparkle of equestria, element of magic, immortal of unity
Pronoun check! Twilight - She/it
So this was my first draft of Queen Twilight. The idea was to make her look balanced, as the in between of night and day. Well the design is very pretty it's also over complicated and not animation friendly (which I try to keep my designs as), and that's just with the base + crown.
Here's take two, and what'll probably be its final design (give or take A few minor adjustments). She's ment to resemble the spirit of harmony itself, and has lost all her original color, with her becoming A dark purple with light markings. The pink highlights being replaced with the rainbow of its friends coats.
She tries to look mortal, as approachable as possible. And thus keeps her mane in a bun and her regalia to a minimum. The feather on its necklace is from its wife, Rainbow Dash, who at this point has been gone for hundreds of years. The ring on her horn is from her current wife and co-ruler, Sunset Shimmer.
This is Twi by the point of G5, it looked much different at the end of G4.
Welcome to the hidden depths of Interview with the Immortals — where ancient magic breathes beneath modern life, and timeless beings walk quietly among us. This world is a tapestry woven from shadows, blood, and secrets. Dive in to discover the rules, mysteries, and powers that shape the immortal realm.
🧛♂️ Vampires & Immortality
The Enhypen members are centuries-old vampires, each marked by unique bloodlines and ancient curses.
Immortality is a double-edged sword: eternal life means endless memories, unending losses, and a hunger that never fully fades.
Their powers vary — from mind-reading and superhuman speed to elemental control — but bloodlust and the risk of losing oneself to the feral side is a constant threat.
Vampires must conceal their nature carefully, blending into modern society while navigating centuries of hidden politics and rival clans.
🔮 Magic & Curses
Magic flows through this world in many forms — from witches’ spells and reapers’ duties to time manipulation and soul-binding rituals.
Curses binded souls across lifetimes, creating loops of tragedy and fate that some characters desperately try to break.
Witches can wield time magic, but tampering with fate carries steep costs — sometimes slipping through timelines themselves.
Reapers maintain the balance between life and death, often caught between their supernatural duties and personal desires.
🔄 Reincarnation & Fate
Some souls are trapped in endless cycles, reincarnating with fragmented memories, drawn repeatedly to the same places and people.
Memory erasure, soul contracts, and forgotten pasts create emotional tension and mystery.
Love often transcends lifetimes, but breaking or changing fate is a dangerous, uncertain gamble.
🕯️ Hidden Societies & Clans
Beneath the surface, secret clans and mystical orders vie for power, knowledge, and control over the mortal world.
Some seek to protect humanity from supernatural chaos, while others manipulate events for their own agendas.
Loyalties are fragile, alliances ever-shifting, and betrayals frequent.
🌆 Modern-Day Setting
Despite their ancient origins, immortals navigate a contemporary world full of technology, social media, and everyday challenges.
The clash of old magic and new life creates moments of humor, heartbreak, and unexpected growth.
🔮 The Magic System — Four Core Systems
Bloodlines: Family lineage; powers run through bloodlines. Some are ancient and noble; others diluted and dangerous.
Rituals & Contracts: Old pacts with deities, spirits, or the dead. Must be signed in blood or soul; breaking them carries consequences.
Elemental Currents: Magic flows through earth, air, water, and fire; enhanced by celestial events, sacred places, or nature’s balance.
The Price of Death: Some spells require a life-for-life exchange; the ultimate cost.
⚠️ The Cost of Magic
Every act of magic has consequences. Those without ties to nature, blood, or death suffer most.
🌱 Beginner Casters / Non-Connected Beings
Often suffer curses or physical pain.
In severe cases, spells backfire and kill the caster.
🩸 Healing Spells
The caster absorbs the pain or injuries of the healed.
Emotional ties can intensify the transfer.
🌑 Dark Magic Usage (Curses, Soul Binding, Time Spells)
Causes rapid soul erosion.
Leads to madness, bodily decay, and eventual death.
Attracts dark entities or spirits that haunt the user.
🕯️ Rules & Limits
Fuel Sources:
Blood — especially potent in vampire magic, rituals, and healing.
Plant Life — used by witches and nature-aligned beings; certain herbs enhance or carry spells.
Time — some magic consumes hours or years of the caster’s life.
Ancestor Connection — only those tied spiritually or by blood to ancestors can cast certain rites safely.
Species-Specific Limits:
Vampires cannot cast witch spells — disconnected from living essence and nature.
Witches are deeply entwined with life force and earth — overuse physically ages them.
From left to right: Canterlot Ponyville young alicorn
I am so happy with this Twilight design you have no idea. It's a lunar unicorn/alicorn. Her story is pretty much the same in canon up until she becomes queen so not much to add here. I plan on doing another design for when it's queen but that's gonna take a lot more concept art.
The sun on her scarf is a key that let's her into restricted areas of Canterlot castle
Still figuring out the polycule but I know I want it to be married to RD in the next gen stuff.
(This also doubles as a Februpony post! Day one: mane six)
Here's some concept art for what Wisteria!Skystar looks like, as mentioned in this post she is the daughter of Celestia and Novo. She's either going to be a lesbian or omni and shipped with Ember and Thorax (who'd be nonbinary)
She has the ability to transform without the need of the pearl due to her horns!
