Fluttershy Would Be Too Scared To Even Use A Smartphone, I Bet

I bet I can ruin* the Infection AU by making it wholesome.

Like, keep the body horror and shit, but have it so no one dies. Have it be so the Infection only distorts the body, and makes it look horrifying, just so everyone would be too scared to try and treat it. Plus it would deliberately put the infected in question into this extreme panic, where they're convinced that they've become uncontrollable, flesh-eating monsters.

One of the main characters, however, finds out that the Infection doesn't turn ponies into flesh-eating monsters, and it just makes it seem like that to scare other ponies away.

So, then, the infected get proven to be safe, and they all get cured.

So, kinda like this drawing I made, where it was originally supposed to be a two-panel joke emphasizing an ironic reaction to a horrifying sight, before I kept building upon it, making it wholesome (not mlp-related; just wanted to share it) 👇

(cw: demonic possession/curses; references to pet/animal harm, though nothing actually gets hurt; embarrassing spelling error)

(*I mean this in a silly way; I don't actually have a problem with the AU)

I struggle to get myself to like Gnome.

Like, if I feel more comfortable using Windows 8, then something is wrong.

Stop talking shit about Linux Desktop Environments!

KDE is Pretty! XFCE is Efficient! Gnome... Mate is Traditional!

Bad drawings of edgy, abstract kitties

Should I work on refining this kind of style?

How did you come to accept your queer identity?

Comment pls!

Holy shit, my future partner better live like this

I completely agree.

Like, I love Starlight as a character. But her "redemption arc" is hilariously bad. Those she literally held hostage as part of a cult just welcome her back warmly. And Cozy Glow gets thrown into Tartarus (and eventually frozen into stone)?

And, like, having the creatures of other species rescue said racist chancellor and give him a change of heart is just fucked up. It's like it's a whole trope in media where bigots are supposed to be given a "change of heart" with friendship, ignoring the fact that actual hardcore bigots are fucked to the core (e.g. Steven Universe finale).

And the Yaks, I can't stand them. They're like a collection of stereotypes from other cultural/ethnic groups Frankenstein'd together, but you can barely tell what most of them are. The ponies attempting to make Yona speak and act pony-like for a school dance didn't help, even if the whole point of the episode was that it was a terrible idea.

Wait what--

So, it looks like that one artist who did the MLP comics drew Twilight Sparkle as a Nazi

Here's a low-res, monochrome Fluttershy I drew months ago

The “Kubrick Stare” is one of Stanley Kubrick’s most recognizable directorial techniques, a method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that the character in question is at the peak of their derangement.
