Happy Valentine’s Day, y’all! I hope it treated you all well, and that you had some fun! 

Whenever I decide to draw Chrysalis for Valentine’s Day, all I can think about was a moment, years ago, when I was explaining to my mom what I was drawing and what Changelings were, and then how she stopped to think for a second… And then said, “Oh, so they’re love bugs?”
And I had to stop myself from screaming that I was SHAM because I had been working on FQC about 3~ years or so at that point and had never even thought about that idea for a second.

Have a rare love bug, and go get some cheap candy tomorrow!!

And the second of the two surprise presents!

This one was pretty unique since I had to completely change Sunset Shimmer’s species to a changeling and I’ve never done a species swap with any canon characters whatsoever. But I think I did an okay job in the end!

Thanks to some crazy ass magic, Sunset Shimmer has been turned into a changeling queen, and needs to learn the ropes. Through a combined effort of Princess Celestia and Queen Chrysalis, she’s making it through alright. This is also with an effort to save the failing changeling hive due to a lot of things happening all at once, so Celestia and Chrysalis are having to really try and work together as best as they can despite there being some communication issues. Sunset just wants her two mentors to get along, but… Well, we’ll just have to see!

“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!

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.

This was supposed to be an illustration for Halloween, but I thought it would work on it’s own. I hope you are all having a good day!
Please take this as a sign that some things are coming from this blog once again in the near future.

Filly Queen Chrysalis is now 2 years old!! Wow!!

Technically, it turned 2 on the 23rd, but the first comic wasn’t posted until April 30th! Thank you so much to everyone for helping the comic stay alive, and continuing to inspire me to draw and write! With almost 4k followers, it’s hard not to want to do my best for you all, and keep experimenting with how I present the story of Chrysalis growing up. Granted, I thought for sure the story would be done by now, but, eh, life happens. Maybe we’ll be done by next year!
