Your size says small. Why don't you get big?

Probably genes. My dad comes from a short family, and Peruvians in general are pretty dang short on average (5′ 4.5″ or 164 cm). I haven’t grown an inch since sophomore year in high school. ; 2;

So I’m not a saguaro. I’m more like those little potted cactus you buy at a nursery or something.

We’re getting old for Tumblrpon.

It’s really weird. I feel like Pirate Dash has been around since forever, but there’s only a 7-month gap between our blogs starting up rather than the 2-year gap I tend to believe exists.

But yeah, look at these aspiring young’uns. All teenage and shit. I remember when I was 14, a dumb freshman, and a fucking prick.

Now I’m 18, a dumb freshman again, and I’m still a prick, just more literally.

2 more years and I’ll be 20 and PC will probably be still running at the rate I’m updating.

SPOILERS: So, yesterday’s episode, right? Wow-wee…

Totally unexpected. We let our guard down and POOF. The Cutie Mark Crusaders got their cutie marks, thereby starting the doomsday clock to the premature end of the series.

The part about how their cutie marks match the others makes sense, but that colour scheme… I’m not very into that. If they were like the Cutie Mark Crusader patches with a blue shield and yellow pony insignia, it would be okay, but this garish purple with the colour of their names is a little… lacking.

So I got to making a few changes of my own while updating the vector models for my Cutie Mark Crusaders, specifically adding in more colours to better define the three, while having them share the colours of their coats on the emblem instead.

There are my personal opinions. I don’t mean to undermine canon. It’ll just be a concept, and I will stick to their canonical cutie marks doing fanart.

First, Big Mac in a hard-hitting brotherly role, now this? And next week’s episode will also be another killer. The Cutie Mark Crusaders got their cutie marks now. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.

Yes! This is a great alternative scheme! The shields are still prominent and consistent, but the little symbols are way more visible and better show each crusader’s individual traits. It just works so much better.

Really should’ve been canon. y:
