Not really a rude question, it’s kind of a practical one since a lot of people followed here for the story. I’m honestly not sure. I wish I could give you a yes, or no. 

You can also re-follow the blog if I started updating it again, story wise, since it would be reblogged elsewhere.

I think every MLP artist is kind of terrified someone will one day ask them to draw Discord and then when we can’t deliver, the whole fanbase will decry them as talentless sham that can only draw a few characters really well.
…No? Just me? Okay.
But despite this being the first time I’ve ever drawn Discord, I think I did pretty well! I gave him his cotton candy clouds back too, because I just adored that little detail way back when S2 premiered.

And here are all the princess’ quick paintings! You can definitely tell which one’s the first and which one’s are the most recent. These daily doodles (when I have something to share, that is) have been really nice and helping me stretch my artsy legs outside of things I feel are supposed to look really nice.

“Ugh, so much black… We get it; you’re sad!”

I’ve been wanting to draw Daybreaker ever since she premiered but never really had the time! And since her design is a little more complicated then Nightmare Moon’s, I decided to take it easy and do a screen redraw of my favorite scene. Although I think a lot of people liked how sassy she was.
Honestly, this was probably my favorite episode of the whole season. I’ve been DYING for a Celestia and Luna centric episode, and not only did it happen, IT WAS GREAT!

RariPie Bomb; Day 2: Seaponies or Pirate outfits from the movie

SO. This was meant to be a quick, simple drawing. And I knew that wasn’t happening the second I decided to just pretty up the background a bit. It’s a little fun when I go overboard though!!! I think this turned out great!!
I’ve been meaning to dive into (see what I did there? :D) the seapony designs for a while so this was a great excuse. Drawing Pinke was so fun, I love her tail!!!!

“Where’s the Art?”

I’ve been sitting on this for a while, and I think it’s about time I talk about a few things over here.

Keep reading

Please don’t give up. Keep going. We all need you more than ever.

It is a hard thing to find what I need to say right now.

When I got up this morning, the first thing I did was I prayed. And then I cried. And then I called my mother.

I have only prayed extremely hard a few times in my life. The first time I did was when I was afraid my husband and I would be homeless. The second was when I was afraid my husband would die, frozen to death, when the car was wrecked after the largest blizzard in 2014 and he had been gone since around 9 in the morning. The third was when I was at my wit’s end with my own life and what was going on in it, and was desperate for something, anything to show that my thoughts and myself were not in vain.

This morning I prayed for myself, and for everyone else. I prayed for the world. I feel that this is a tall order, but I also have faith that my Heavenly Father loves me and all of his children. He has not and will never abandon us when we cling to our liberties and our freedom. We are promised, as his children, that we will be free from those that oppress us and would destroy us if they could.

We will not fall, we will not crumble, and we will not die or disappear.

I know it’s hard if you’re not religious, or don’t believe the same way I do, but even with that, I have faith that you are being watched over. Our cries are always heard, and even if the results or what we want isn’t given to us, we are still loved and loved very dearly.

Do not give up. Do not give in. I know it’s hard, and it’s scary, and this is a terrifying day for so many people, but do not give in. Do not give up. We need you. We need to fight this evil, and show that it will never win. It may be on top now, but it will. Never. Win.

Have faith, have courage, and be kind to everyone who needs it. We will need to love each other more then ever now. Don’t let them take that away from you. Love harder than you ever have before, and be there more for the people in your life no matter what. Volunteer at organizations, bring cookies to your neighbor, hug your brother or your sister harder than you usually do. We need to stay together, and if we do, we will never fall.

I love you all so much. Please don’t ever forget that. And I will fight as hard as I can to keep all that I love safe.

“We’re not… Really going to look like that some day, are we?”
“I certainly hope not!! I’d have to kiss my spying days goodbye with that kind of gaudy carapace!”

Happy late Halloween, everyone! Thanks for your patience, as always, while I got this finished.
Brace yourselves for tomorrow as I’m going to be making a lot of announcements about a lot of things! 

Also, as an aside, I’m having a Christmas sale on commissions! Check it out here!

In Regards to the Finale

So some serious stuff happened with show-canon Changeling lore!

Not to worry though! Your little bug queen will not be effected by any of these things. 
The story updates that comprise the actual story of the blog take place at least 1,000~ years before show canon, so, we will not be seeing any sparkling rainbow-riffic Changelings here except in non-story posts.

See you all for the Halloween update! 

I thought it was time I do something similar to my first motivational comic a few summers ago that really wound up kind of putting FQC on the radar of a lot of people. The last comic came from me seeing a lot of people I knew in pain, and this comes from seeing something like that happening again.

I have two philosophies that I hold to, which are: everything passes with time, and to just keep walking. I feel like they help me be able to keep moving even if I feel immobilized by fear or by whatever the situation I’m in because sometimes you’re forced to wait by circumstances out of your control. You can’t do anything but just grit your teeth and wait for it finally pass by. But just because you have to wait doesn’t mean you have to stop moving, and I try to remember that when I feel like I’m seriously stuck and just move my efforts to something I can help instead of focusing all my energy on something I can’t at the moment. It’s tough, and sometimes it doesn’t work, but you’ve got to try your darnedest to keep moving forward despite it. You’ve got to keep moving towards that sunlight, even if you think it might not be there.

I hope this will be able to help you, and I hope you know I love you, no matter where you are or what you’re doing.
We love you.
