These are super eerie… awesome, but just a little otherworldly. :-)
In an attempt to draw a Sweetie Belle, I misplaced a line and created Sweetie Sperm.
I am going to hell for this.
Ask away!
I said I was gonna reblog this every month. EVERY. SINGLE. MONTH.
A reminder that YYSB is still a thing and you should totally follow it because it’s gonna update in less than 2 months.

Okay, I REALLY need to get into Pokemon.
It’s what people talk about 60% of the time. And it sounds like a foreign language. o-o
No, fight it. It’s a cult and distracts from pone.

This is the best explanation I could come up with for why it takes me so long to do updates sometimes when, at other times, I’m typing them up like clockwork.
this, except also imagine a pile of green and red dots off to the side in a basket labeled “shit, these are important but where do I put them”
This is actually accurate for ask blogs too xD
Don’t forget the mountain of red dots that are interesting but aren’t actually important to the story.
Red dots that are initially important, but suddenly disappear when you get close to them and then are replaced with purple lines.

I still don't care for Sandy
Asked by picketsmodblog-deactivated20181Woman takes the foal of her dead friend to give a good home, does her absolute best for the safety and upkeep of the foal, does what she thinks is financially the best solution, cares for her during all the stressful situations, adopts her as her own once she realizes how much she cares for her daughter, does her best as a mother, fights to the bitter end for her daughter to have custody of her child, goes to people who can fix the dimensional problems in her world for the sake of others…
And people still don’t like her.
Kind of peculiar.
>”Does her absolute best for the safety and upkeep of the foal”
Yes, letting her go out at night unattended, not teaching her sexual precautions when she reaches puberty (I mean, COME ON, puberty does not just HAPPEN one day without it being noticed for girls!), constantly shoving consequences down her throat immediately after the infamous incident without any real guidance or support and putting her own FINANCIAL problems ahead of her adopted daughter’s safety is clearly what a responsible caretaker does.
I’d reword that.
She did what she thought was best for Scootaloo. She had good intentions, but didn’t pan out the right way.
And come on. Give her a break with that. She’s a first time adoptive mother in her 40s. As if she’s gonna learn how to be the perfect mother right on the spot. She made her mistakes, and vows to never make them again. Just like any normal person would.
On a related note, what’s more peculiar is that the character who basically fucked Scootaloo over in the first place is apparently given more sympathy than Sandy. :T
If you’re rude to your followers, I will immediately unfollow you
Just want to get this off my chest:
When people say “I don’t care if you unfollow me, it’s my blog I owe you nothing” it’s a huge turn off for me. You SHOULD care about your followers to an extent, not the the point you obsess about your numbers and publicly announce you lost one or stalking the unfollower down and confronting them, because that’s you thinking about yourself. Losing a follower is someone making a choice to leave for whatever reason and if you try to get sympathy from announcing you lost one, it’s just not something I want to hear because losing followers is natural and you should respect your followers enough to let them leave peacefully. They’re real people with real feelings, saying you don’t care if one leaves would be like them saying “I don’t care if you don’t post”
And yes you owe them nothing, and they owe you nothing. But they’re giving time out of their day to you and you technically don’t owe anyone in your life anything, but what kind of world would it be if no one gave each other things? If you’re rude to them, they’ll be more willing to lash out at you (Unless they’re trolls, those always lash out…)
I just think people need to be more considerate in general. Having different interests, opinions and knowing different things is not an invitation to be rude. The world is already so negative I only want to follow good hearted people who make the world seem a little brighter.
Sorry for the long text post, I hope you all have a wonderful day~
Preach it!

HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE TUMBLRPONE
Welcome to the world of Tumblrpon, the home of the many drawblogs (drawn response blogs) you may have seen on EQD! At this panel, we will discuss topics such as how to create a successful drawblog, how to ask good questions to help drawblogs thrive, and introduce you to this often-bizarre subset of the Brony fandom.
Hosted By: Fisherpon, CrusaderVX, Raikissu, and AutonomousZedHere’s a video of most of the panel that I did with friends at Bronycan! The initial concept was pretty much a carbon copy of TJ’s at Bronycon, but we reworked it from the ground up to give it our own special flare. I was kinda worried that we wouldn’t get much of an audience, since Bronycan is kind of a small convention, but I was happily surprised to find that we got a pretty decent turnout!
Look at the pics below and see if you can find yourself~
Unfortunately, the Celestia Radio crew that was recording us had an equipment failure. :(
Thankfully, I had set up my own camera as backup. :)
Unfortunately, that camera randomly turned itself off halfway through, meaning that I don’t have the entire thing. :C
It made it all the way through us talking about Tumblr itself and the types of blogs, but failed partway through us talking about social interaction. That means that we don’t have any footage of us taking questions. Kinda sad.
Us panelists (Me, CrusaderVX, Rai, and AutonomousZed had a whale of a time, the audience dynamic was pretty good, we had some great questions, and I think it turned out pretty damn well.
Since at Bronycon, we didn’t end up making a presentation, I wanted to make sure that we had one for this one. I’m really pleased with the final product in that regard. You can see the individual slides of the presentation at the end of the video (set to music!), but in case you’re too lazy to watch the whole vid here they are:
[several slides that were basically the front page of AskMLCblobs, AskLittleRicePaddy, Ask-King-Sombra, AskPirateDash, Ask-KnightTrixie, Ask-Grimdark-BigMac, AskTerry, Jumped-Out-PinkieAnswers, and AskSpirit]
[Hi-res]
I included an absolute tonof drawblogs in the slides, so I’m not going to put a full list right here. Instead, I’m going to link a pastebin. Disclaimer: Relative position/size in the slides mean nothing except that’s where the picture fit well. Presence in the slides means nothing either except that that blog came to mind when I was brainstorming. Sorry if I forgot yours.
Thanks to everyone who came, and I hope to see you again next year!
I spy a tiny four-eyed Sweetie Belle. :3

Tried redesigning Lil Boulder a bit.
Look look look, I even doodled her in her apron for the Olive Pasture, where she alternates cooking pasta and being a waitress! Because what better way to leave your mark on society than serving chicken alfredo to hungry ponies, eh? EH?
Character design isn’t my strongest attribute at all but it was still fun to experiment with. Though I don’t really know what I’m gonna do with her, other than to have some sort of representation of my mod blog for whatever reason. Maybe I’ll think of something, who knowsssss

American school system
just so you know, the ‘gifted area’ isn’t much fun either
I saw your tags and I would really like to comment with personal story if you don’t mind.
The gifted area really isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. The children all look like they’re smiling, sure, but let’s be real— they go home and stress and cry.
I was a “gifted and talented” kid, and it was far from this. My whole life, things were harder because I was expected to be better. I was expected to be reading higher-level books, but the school didn’t allow me to read higher-level books because it was “unfair” to the other students. Teachers subconsciously graded me harder than other students, even on things I was not “gifted” in, like math (a subject in which I have always struggled). We had extra homework and extra tests. In my program, we were removed from regular classes once a week to learn bonus material. Not only were we expected to learn the bonus material, but we were expected to make up the missed material and pass the tests on it; only no one was there to teach us the material we missed, because we were expected to already know it. It was pounded into my brain every day of my life from the moment I started school that I had to be perfect, and if I wasn’t perfect it was the result of some character flaw. If an average student got a B, it was cause for celebration, but if I got an A I was simply meeting expectations. If an average student got a D, it was sad and they needed extra help and it was the teachers fault for not helping them; if I got a B or a C, it was the end of the world and clearly there was something wrong with me. I was slacking, or goofing off, or expecting the teachers to just “hand” the A to me because I was “special”.
I skipped a grade because I was “gifted.” When I tell people of this, they assume I must be a “genius.” You don’t know how many times I’ve heard people tell me, “Wow, you must be really smart or something. You’re a genius.”
Fast forward to college. I was told I should go to Yale or Harvard. But I didn’t want to. I wanted to go to college somewhere where I could learn but also enjoy myself. People make fun of me for my choice of school because someone as “gifted” as me could have “done so much better.”
This “genius” can’t pass Intro to Biology 1010, because no one ever taught her proper studying techniques—they just assumed she already knew. This “genius” cries herself to sleep over a B in an difficult science class. This genius faces crippling anxiety because she knows she’ll never measure up to people’s expectations of her. This “genius” sometimes cuts herself because the pressure to be perfect is too much for her. This “genius” feels like throwing herself off a building if she gets anything less than a B, because she’s been taught her whole life that if she doesn’t get perfect grades it is some sort of character flaw; she must be a worthless idiot.
I don’t know what it’s like to be in the “Nothing Special” area but being gifted is no walk in the park as the cartoon suggests. We both face challenges; they are different challenges, but they are both challenges.
This is so accurate.
“It was pounded into my brain every day of my life from the moment I started school that I had to be perfect, and if I wasn’t perfect it was the result of some character flaw.” god thank you
Holy shit, all of this. ALL OF IT.

What I really wonder about is AB’s bow. Is it nailed to her head?
——
Or the bow is a seal on her powers, like that one girl from Touhou. She’s actually a draconequus, who Celestia sealed into pony form and gave to the Apple Family to raise in the hope that one day they could use her power for good. The reason she doesn’t have a CM is because she’s technically not a pony. Scoots and Sweetie Belle don’t have CMs because Apple Bloom’s dormant Reality Warper tendencies are preventing them; she doesn’t want them to get cutie marks before she does.

Welp, hit another milestone, and I said I wouldn’t be doing another anthro, so enjoy “Poker Night at Serious Rainbow’s”! Obviously I couldn’t fit everyone in, so I just put 8 of my friend’s characters in. It was hard picking which 8. It was like having a MySpace account back in the day. (I’m joking, I’ve never had a MySpace account.)
From left to right: Serious, Sam Rose, Gypsy Doodle (NSFW-ish), Vivo Fortissimo (NSFW-ish), Fractured Loyalty, Wiggles, Post Crusade!Sweetie Belle, Tungsten Brumby, and Discord Sparkle.

SB: This deck doesn’t have a number 1! Just a stupid A! I hate this game…
((Woo! Congrats on 2K, Serious!))
Gordon Ramsey not being an asshole? This feels like it’s from a bizarre parallel universe where red means go, up is down, and George W. Bush was competent!
Where is this from!?
I believe it’s from Masterchef Junior, which features child competitors.
