I feel like I don’t see a lot of people bring up Thaumatrope in reference to Vast Error or Snowbound Blood I can understand why cause it isn’t really plot relevant (Thaumatrope is the story of how Rypite and Sirage became Matesprites) it’s such a good read and I liked it a lot but then again I’m a complete sucker for romance in media especially opposites attract because it was done well in this with Rypite helping Sirage come to terms with herself however as much as I liked this comic I’d rate it maybe a 7/10 (or 9/12 for all you twelve star’s out there)
If you wanna read it here’s a link to Thaumatrope itself ^^^
can you make some Rypite nonbinary icons? <:3 thank yew
yess here you go anon some vast error and early syzygy since my ipad wouldn't load past a certain point lol, if you want sbb or late syzygy lemme know and i'll do them in the morning!
MSPAINT FAN ADVENTURES ERA HAS BEGUN SO LISTEN VERY CLOSELY
I have divided the MSPFA era up into various acts purely because there are so many on the list that it would be overwhelming to be completely unorganised, and because it's alot more fun to keep suspense on what we'll be reading later. That being said, here is act 1
If you would like to be updated on when the next mspfas begin then I implore you to join the discord if you haven't already as there is a role you can use (and also because our discord server is lit and very kind and welcoming)
WE WILL BEGIN WITH VAST ERROR ON THE 19TH OF NOVEMBER
Okay HI!!! Sorry I haven't been active I've been getting back into Vast error and Thaumatrope I WILL STILL BE PONYPOSTING but Talald has been taking over my brain😭
Thaumatropes are optical toys that were popular in the Victorian period. A round disk with a picture on each side is attached to two pieces of twine. When twirled quickly between the fingers, the two pictures appear to blend into one demonstrating the principle of "persistence of vision" . Originally invented by an English physician, John Ayrton Paris in 1825.
I've been into making Victorian Thaumatropes as part of one of my art series projects. This is the first one.
