can you tell us more about the fluttermac kids??

!!!! aaaa okay!

Jazz Apple (oldest) is a country singer! I imagine him with a Glen Campbell type voice specifically from Rock-A-Doodle haha his coat is from Granny Smith's palette with dark freckles and has Fluttershy's coat color for his mane (with a hint of Big Mac). His eye color comes for Buttercup! Jazz's cutiemark is an apple with musical notes

He was given singing lesson after he took interests after hearing Fluttershy & Big Mac singing together. It wasn't after Jazz did his first performance he gained is cutiemark! Jazz then began to focus on his music career and is one of the biggest country artists in Equestria. He also uses the guitar that AJ uses when she was Apple Chord. Jazz is very family orientated; always returning to Sweet Apple Acres when he is not touring and helping round the farm. For some reason, he liked talking to his Uncle Zephyr Breeze???

Opal (middle child) is the animal care taker of the family! She actually inherited Fluttershy's batpony genes (this drawing was my first draft at her haha) so she is fluffier compared to pegasi. Her color palette takes after late grandpa Bright Mac (once I update her color design) while she has Fluttershy's eye color. I imagine her voice being Jennifer Cody specifically Charlotte from PatF

Opal may seem overconfident but in reality, she is very insecure about her bat genes. She wishes she could have been a normal pegasus at times. Opal ADORES her Uncle Discord; often causing mischief with him. She also has a frenemy relationship with Azure, Rarity & Cappers' firstborn who actually has a huge crush on her. Opal loves her dad but sometimes she wishes that he would focus on her a bit more as compared to Sugarbee.

Sugarbee (youngest) is a pollinator expert & bee keeper. She's very soft spoken, literally what you would expect from Big Mac & Fluttershy and very sheltered. Sugarbee is also nicknamed "Buttercup" after Pear Butter since she looks almost exactly like her. I need to update her color palette a bit since now I want her to have Fluttershy's eye color instead.

Sugarbee wishes she could explore outside of Ponyville like her dad and mom. She is often told that she looks so much like Buttercup but wants it be known that she ISN'T her. Sugarbee follows Opal around at times to get that bit of excitement in her life. Voice wise, I imagine her voice kinda soft? Like something inbetween Fluttershy's but with a country twang like Big Mac? Like a good blend but I haven't found something like that just yet!

@starklinqs I apologize for my dumbassery but I posted my unfinished response instead of saving it as a draft and panicked so I deleted it 😂

Here’s the picture to the first question, because I’m on my phone and it’s on the brink of death so if I dared switched between my gallery and tumblr I would lose everything. As for the second question:

The Viktor Montmartre situation. I get that PB didn’t want to dig deeper in such a serious subject when so many young players read RCD but I wanted to see him suffer the consequentions of his actions, not just a brief scene in which his house is invaded by the paparazzi. I wanted at least a few more mentions of him arrested, because it just feels like PB brushed it over to move on with the plot.

6, 8, 16 for the podcast asks!

Man I hate tumblr. I only saw this now. I would like to get notifications pls @staff

6- Podcast that makes you laugh the most?

It’s either got to be Wolf 359 or The Bright Sessions. I’m leaning more on wolf. There are some banger episodes for comedy

8- Have you listened to TAZ? If so, who’s your favorite character?

I haven’t! I’ve been meaning to!!

16- If you could magically travel to the world of one podcast, which one would it be and why?

The Bright Sessions. Hands down. I love to imagine what being atypical is like. I would love to know what it would all feel like or look like. It’s just our world with some magic and I think it’s wonderful. Also maybe The Far Meridian. That would be so cool to go to somewhere new every day. Inconvenient for sure but super cool

Thanks bud

[sologxlaxies]

When are you going to publish the next part of strings of fate? It's really good!!

Thank you love! I’m really glad you like it Unfortunately, I have final exams this week and I’m not in a good place emotionally, so the last thing I want to do is sit down and force myself to write. I don’t mean to sound rude (sorry if I do) but this story is very special for me and so are the people who read it. The least you deserve is a well written chapter, but I haven’t really been on tumblr and can’t seem to find inspiration these days, so I’ve decided to wait a little bit and take care of myself before posting anything. For now, I can’t tell when part 7 will be posted and I’m sorry if that wasn’t the answer you expectedHope you understand 💕

I want to be happy about the loumand moment but like seeing people villanize Louis and Armand (which the latter I get to an extent) and act like lestat is an angel and is louis victim , it's pissing me off. From what was shown it might make Louis an imperfect victim which we been knew but not the villain. Maybe cause I'm new and although I've been warned about this fandom possibly being toxic and racist but it still is hard to witness.

Listen no matter what Louis or Armand do, a certain part of the fandom will just pretend that everything is their fault. I've seen things here. Terrible things.

And tbh there is a chance the show might make Lestat better than what we have seen so far, which... no, for me. But this is just speculation on my part.

It means that if AMC is heavily promoting and constructing an entire show around a South Asian man with that name as a lead, and making his identity a part of the story and not just something incidental, then the idea, as some would have it, that they are pushing a supporting actor in another show to the side because of racism or Islamophobia seems questionable.

I think the answer is just that he's a supporting actor in the cast, a big supporting actor with an important role, but not a lead. So, just like it wasn't vital that Eric be at SDCC last year and so he wasn't, it's not vital that Assad be here this year, especially when he's not filming. The people whose presence is vital are Jacob and Sam when a new season is coming out (Jacob had his concerts last year so couldn't be there, and they were probably more okay with that since the season had already aired, they weren't drumming up interest for the next season to the same degree), and Eric is both a famous actor and already filming.

In general, AMC has shown that Sam and Jacob, their leads, are their priorities. I think Assad will be an important part of next season and will be interviewed plenty, as he was for season 2, but if people keep wanting him to be treated like Jacob and Sam, they're going to be disappointed.

How about everything else (his name on the website, award nominees as a supporting actor etc). Again, this isn't an isolated thing, it's one more in a pile of things.

And Just because they have one muslim actor, it doesn't mean an entire network isn't being racist. Imagine a company. One day they fire a Muslim employe. You are like okay, it's random. Another time, the manager invites everyone but the muslim employees to a work trip. Okay maybe the muslim employee is still new. Next month they promote the white person instead of the south asian, even though they have been there for longer. But okay maybe they have a reason for that you don't know the ins and outs of the decisions. Next summer, they fire another muslim employee but hey budget cuts and look they have they have a muslim employe at another branch. At some point it stops being coincidence and it starts being a pattern.

Just because you couldn't care less about it , it doesn't mean other people don't get to be upset about it

What makes me think Louis is really into Armand is that scene with Madeleine "why don't you want him to know how much you love him?"

I'm sorry, I know you won't like this, but I honestly think that was Madeleine sensing Louis' feelings about Lestat, not Armand. I might be wrong, it's open to interpretation (and I think Louis has feelings for Armand), but the show makes a big point of Louis never saying "I love you" to Lestat or even Claudia because he's terrified to say that to someone he loves after Paul. And then it shows him easily saying it to Armand, and dreamstat (who both Jacob and Sam have said reflects Louis' internal/real feelings) being amused and mocking it with "I looove you"). So Madeleine saying "why don't you want him to know" doesn't make much sense as being about someone he's said "I love you" too (and we know that Louis' strong feelings of love for Lestat are still there at that point, as much as he doesn't want them to be), and Louis easily saying "I love you" if he really means it doesn't make sense either.

I thought Dreamstat was a clever way to get us inside Louis' head in the Paris years in a way that his Dubai voiceover or his conversations with other characters couldn't. It does undermine the romance of Loumand, but I think that's the story the show is telling. As you said, they're all about Loustat. But that doesn't mean it has to be that way in your fic, fics can be whatever you want them to be! I've enjoyed fics where Claudia never dies as my own person fix-it lol

Kindly, I disagree. I think Madeleine can tell the difference. She couldn't just sense he loves someone, she could feel how Louis feels when she is around Armand.

Anyway, you clearly think differently and I'm not trying to change your mind here but the key word is "how much". Not that he loves him at all. Louis said I love you before he meant it and then he stopped saying it cause it got real. Not to mention that the timing of it. If it was about Lestat, why show it just before the betrayal? Where is the tragedy in that?

Other relationships can be strong, too, you know. Doesn't mean Lou.stat wasn't important. And.. i don't think I've said it's all about Lestat/Lou.stat, I said this is how the fandom and Danny interpret it cause Louis shares a glimpse of his story with Armand. Louis is so much more than loving one man in his entire life.
