Two drawings of Rarity as a white unicorn with purple sparkly hair that curls into ringlets. The unicorn's body is shaped like a deer, with cloven hooves, large ears, and a wet nose that is a different color from the body. The horn is curved and has a distinct, 3D spiral shape.ALT
Fluttershy as a yellow, pink, and brown pegasus with big wings and long, flowy feathers for mane and tail. Her snout tapers to a point at the end, and she has a roman nose like a raven. She has cloven hooves with distinct, prehensile dewclawsALT
Pinkie pie as a cute, silly looking pink horse. Her body and neck are light pink, while her face and legs are darker pink. She has freckles and a a slightly crazed expression in her blue eyes. Her mane is dark pink and extremely curlyALT
Rainbow dash as a pegasus creature with long spindly legs, smooth, sharp wings, and a beak-shaped snout. Her back is covered in a long black marking that looks sort of like a mask on her face. Her hair is spiky and rainbow, and her dark wings have rainbow spots on them. Her markings are modeled after a peregrine falconALT
Applejack as a cartoon palomino draft horse with thick, muscular body and neck with giant feathery feet. Her body is light orange and her hair and legs are creamy yellow. Her calm eyes are greenALT
Twilight Sparkle from my little pony as a fantasy unicorn creature. She most resembles a deer with a spiraling horn and long tail. Her mane is straight and charply cut at the ends. She has squarecut leg feathers over her cloven hooves. She looks pretty anxiousALT
A sketchy doodle of the pony designs in a big group hug. It is loosely based on a screenshot group hug from the show, but can't be exactly the same because the ponies are hugely different sizes and shapes.  Draft-horse applejack is in the back, her shoulder being taller than all other ponies' heads. She is bending down to wrap her head and massive hoof around pinkie pie in a hug.   Twilight sparkle is in the middle, being hugged and nuzzled by her friends on all sides.  Rarity is taller than twilight and is resting her head on top of twilight's and is hugging her shoulder with her hoof  Fluttershy is large, but extremely spindly and starting on wobbly stick legs. she is nuzzling Twilight's shoulder  Rainbow dash is the smallest of the mane 6, about half the size of twilight, and only as big as Applejack's head. she is standing with her back hooves on fluttershy's back and neck, and her front legs on rarity's head. her head is hugging rarity's ear.   Everyone looks very happy and loved! despite their differences they all know they love each other, and they can make a group hug workALT

What we call "ponies" are actually 3 different species that have managed to intertwine with each other through centuries of love and friendship.

Earth ponies are unique in their strength and solid, powerful hooves built for running and moving heavy objects. Ancient ponies only displayed earth tones in their fur and hair, but even one pegasus ancestor many generations ago can imbue colorful hues to all their descendents.

Pegasus are completely covered in feathers, with long feathers forming crests much like horses' mane and tails. They are usually the smallest species, but some exceptions do appear. Hooves are usually small and cloven, with prehensile dewclaws for gripping branches and perching in trees.

Unicorns are much closer to deer than horses, and their horns are actually a set of two antlers that wind around each other from a single base. The coiled structure pulls magic from the world around them and concentrates it at the tip, allowing the unicorn to cast whatever spells it wishes, while the other species can only use magic for flight and affecting the environment.

That is, until new alicorns began to ascend and through their power, grant magical properties to intangible concepts like friendship and love

Alicorns are mysterious, ethereal giants who fill the entire sky as they pass by. They are not a mix of unicorns, pegasus, and earth ponies, but a creature beyond any of the species; an ascended form that could supposedly happen to anyone... But but that's just an old foals' tale. Right?

actually shut up. davey being an author and jack is his ex and they both know it was a right person wrong time kind of thing. they both knew they were losing each other too soon but how could they fix it? david needed his career to take off and jack needed life to slow down. david spent a lifetime stalling and jack spent a lifetime running and now david wants to go go go i need to go i need to do this i need to work need to be better need to be the best need to do this, jack, i need to do this, please support this, please. and all jack wants to do is slow down and stop and breathe and davey i cant, i need you here, you need to be here, please stay here stay with me i know you need to run with this but i need you to lay here for just another minute, please.

and they both pause. both understand. both know they need something different in life right now. david needs to experience a fast-paced world of publishing and writing a mile a minute with his ever-running mind, and jack needs to experience a slow-paced world of galleries and painting a stroke a day with hands that need a rest from always itching for more. and so they stop, they separate. they kiss one last time and wipe each other’s tears and suddenly their shared apartment is empty, so empty, leaving jack in the dust and davey in a rundown townhouse in brooklyn.

and here they are, ten years later: davey has that bestselling book series he spent so long on and jack has quite the following with his art and they’re both still hurting, still healing. as we know, creatives have their content ripped out of their chests whether they like it or not, sentences and brushstrokes, painstaking edits until the piece is exactly how they’ve imagined, how they were forced by their own minds to create it.

and give me jack, a tortured artist stereotype (he hates it he hates it why does he hate it), who wanders into a bookstore; he has some extra cash and he wants one of those nicer leatherbound sketchbooks that he knows they sell. he walks in and sees a face, davey’s face, his davey’s face, on a display of books, all brandishing the name David Jacobs at the bottom. so, he’s made it. good for him.

and give me jack, delicately picking up a book as though he may tarnish it, just as he feels he tarnished their relationship. and give me jack, opening up to the first page, and reading:

To J, for haunting my memories enough to keep me awake. Your apparition is the only reason this book is finished— what else was going to make me write until sunrise?

jack closes it. places it back down, picks up the sequel sitting right next to it.

To J, for being there when this started. Maybe you’ll see this when it’s finished. I don’t know. I still have a third book to write.

and maybe that spurs jack on. maybe he’s not J, but he rather wishes he was- he wishes david still thought of him, just like how jack has still been using david’s essence as painting inspiration all these years ago, just how he’s never been able to take another relationship seriously, just how he’s certain that he gave everything he had to david and has nothing left for anyone else.

he takes the plunge. he sends a letter. david’s third book is published later that year.

To J, for coming home. Writing this book with your head on my chest is the forever I’ve been dreaming of.

Hey Repo fandom, I have Amber Discourse (okay not discourse but I have a thought that’s going to keep eating at me until I write it down). Are we meant to see Amber as having promise with her singing, or aren’t we?

It seems like it would be a pretty cut and dry no. The way the movie portrays her, she seems vain, self obsessed, and desperate to become a star, all the kinds of personality traits that are usually associated with someone who’s clawing for attention they don’t deserve. (Please note here that I’m talking about the way the movie generally treats her character, not the way I actually interpret her) But like. Her face falls off during her performance onstage, she fights with Mag and is generally antagonistic toward her, which further cements her as looking like a brat that doesn’t actually have the talent for being the famous singer she wants to be so badly.

But then there’s the one line in Happiness Is Not a Warm Scalpel. “I will never sing again”. She wields the line as a threat, as an argument to get emergency surgery before the opera. It isn’t the reason why Rotti allows her to get the surgery, but I don’t think she’d bring it up if she didn’t see it as he would care about. We KNOW Rotti’s a garbage excuse for a man, and an even worse father. He isn’t above being a dick to Amber, he spends plenty of the movie doing just that, so if he didn’t care about her performing, he’d have made that perfectly clear to her at this point, and I doubt she’d be bringing it up.

We’ve seen that Rotti cares a lot about the way he and his family appear to the public with how happy he is to insult his children for not living up to the man he is, wouldn’t he be ashamed of his daughter performing in front of thousands (millions?) of people? Wouldn’t her threatening to stop singing be a relief?

I don’t know, I want Amber to be happy, and I want her to reach her hopes and dreams, I don’t have a concrete answer either way, but this is eating at my brain so much
