Cloudverse // Overjoyed to meet you
The Crystal couple, Princess Cadence and Shining Armor, have been through a lot in their marriage since their wedding. From a threat at the wedding itself to the trials of ruling an empire, they have had each other through it all to give love and support when the other needed it.
The same can be said for when the two first learned they were expecting their first foal. The couple were absolutely overjoyed from the beginning, eagerly awaiting till the time came. They celebrated with many. They loved to share their joy and news with others, and to whoever was interested. They basked in their own joy and the joy of their subjects, friends and family. The pregnancy of course wasn’t a complete cake walk but they were there for each other as they had been in the past. Support when the other needed it, which was for the most part for Cadence.  
After many months of eagerly waiting the day finally came where the couple could finally meet their new pride and joy. 
Cadence rests in her bed with a wave of relief washes over her that the birth went off with no complications. She holds her new baby gently and weakly as she is drained from all the labor she just went through. It was all worth it for her, to finally meet her foal.
Her husband, Shining, the love of her life then enters the room. He slowly walks over to her side. He looks almost as exhausted as Cadence does. Even with bags under his eyes, Shining still has so much joy in his eyes as he eagerly approaches his family.
Not many words are said between the two. They savor the moment they have here together. All the tense and stress they had from the past day are releasing from them. Relief and an overwhelming sense of joy. Wanting to be everything for their new baby, to be able to protect and care for them. Shining becomes teary-eyed.
The family relishes in each other’s presence. Previously two hearts were beating together, now three. They take this precious moment with each other. The new parents already love their new foal to the moon and back.
————
Yippee! Actual story!! 
Meet Prince Scarlet Heart!
Or Prince Mio Bambino Brilla Scarlatto
I’ve had the concept for him ever since it was first announced in the show that Cadence and Shining were having a kiddo. For the Cloudverse Scarlet replaces Flurry Heart in terms of story/when born.  We will not be seeing Flurry in this verse. Scarlet isn’t an alicorn tho, just a little unicorn like his dad.
Technically Scarlet is the oldest next gen character in the Cloudverse, so I thought starting with him would make sense for going chronological order. So I'm just diving into his story. Also I didn’t want to make a bio for him haha.
Anyway! Scarlet’s birth brought immense amounts of joy to the Crystal Empire, making the crystal heart shine brighter than ever before. A very happy time for the empire indeed.

Name: Center Stage
aka Cici, Cen, my little pop-star(Trixie), diva (both affectionately and derogatory)
Pronouns: She/her
Parents: Trixie and a partner that’s out of the picture(not important)
Siblings: Her twin brother, Fluorescent Flourish
Bio:
Center Stage is pretty similar to her mother. Her being an outspoken mare with a playful personality, since a very young age. Her charisma is absolutely infectious to those around her. Center has been known to tease those she is close to. It always comes from a place of love, of course. She is a ride or die for her friends or family, you wouldn’t want to cross her.
Center Stage followed her mother's footsteps for her love of performing. She and her twin, Fluorescent Flourish worked together as a duo. They perform a combination of both stage magic and a concert. They started show business pretty young in life, being in their late teens. Trixie has always been supportive of her kids. She is ecstatic that her kids love performing as much as her, but has never pressured them into doing what they didn’t want to. She was cautious about them going into show business so young, since she knows how cutthroat and lonely it can be. Trixie made sure to come with them when they started out, and advocated for her kids when they needed it.
The twins were one of Eminence Rays’ first and more successful talents that he has sponsored. Center Stage and Em become friends as they work together. The both being of them queer, Cici being a trans mare and a lesbian, the two feel a kinship.
In the present, Center Stage is the most successful she has ever been, going on tour and having fans all over Equestria. She is now a solo act, with Flourish stepping away from show business. There’s no ill will between the twins, he just doesn’t love all the attention like his sister does. The two still work together, just not on stage. Flourish prefers being behind the curtain helping his sisters that way.
Cutie Mark: A star with two spotlights on it from either side with smaller stars falling from above. Represents her talent in performing and commanding attention.
—————————
My little pop star, I love her so much hehe. I’ve had her in my drafts since October of last year. I’m so glad I finally finished her bio

Name: Jasper Shards
aka Jas
Pronouns: He/ him
Parents: Spitfire and an unknown stallion
Siblings: none?
Bio:
Growing up without a father and with a mom who is neglectful, Jas didn't have the greatest childhood. He was always screaming for the attention of his mother, which caused him to be a bully in his younger years. He grows into a party animal, who doesn't care much for the romantic partners he makes. In adulthood, he switches from someone with the biggest ego to thinking he's the worst pony alive.
Cutiemark: Represents his talent for glass blowing. He is very good at it, and has been using his talent for money and jobs. He isn't too proud of his abilities though, since his mother was never supportive of his talent in general.
---------------------------------------
Hello there! It's been a while, hope you've be doing well. Starting this year off with one of favorite characters! I love my sad little manslut :>

Name: Peach Milkshake aka Peachie
Pronouns: He/him Parents: Pinkie Pie and Pokey Pierce Siblings: Blue Raspberry Ripple and Lavender Cotton Candy Bio: Peachie is a caring lad, who loves to make others laugh and feel safe. Since his mom is Pinkie Pie, he has been a part of many different parties over the years. He has always liked them, but he has found that he loves smaller, more personal and chill gatherings with friends and those you want to get closer with. Peachie also loves being a little goofy and making those he cares about laugh, but he’s less over the top about this compared to his mother. He’s overall calmer than his Pinkie, but he’s still chipper. He also enjoys exploring and doesn’t mind getting dirty while doing so. When the trio of friends were young, they would explore around with Peachie leading the crew, and Starspell proudly behind him. In the Pie household feelings were not held in. So Peachie isn’t afraid to cry, and does end up feeling his negative emotions pretty intensely. He is truthful with his feelings. Peachie also is very concerned for his friends’ well being. He always tells them that he’s there for them whenever they need it, but he’s usually brushed off. He just wants to help those he cares about.
Cutiemark: Represents his talent of traveling around to share love and friendship through get togethers he makes, of any size. The mark has the Peach, which is Peachie, with an exposed pit with hearts coming out, representing the love and friendship he spreads to whoever needs it. The flags meaning the different destinations he's been to. 
Cutiemark designed by the wonderful @gelidponies

This is the last pony design for this series, and I’ll be posting things that are unrelated to Palestine after this.
Let it be known that I will continue to stand for Palestine. And share all I can with this post. Free Palestine, Free Gaza, Ceasefire now
This pony is based on olives, which have a deep history to Palestinians. The olive tree itself symbolizes the deep connection the Palestinian people have to their land. It also represents peace, security and holds a sacred in some religious traditions.
I have gotten a lot of my information on the connections these fruits have from this article. And also this one for more about olive trees. I highly suggest reading them, if you're interested in learning more.
A very in depth post about ways to help Palestine Link
Tool for US citizens to email their senators Link
A less intimidating post about ways to help
Visual post about population vs bombed areas Link
If you can spend even a dollar consider reading this post

This pony is based on oranges, Jaffa oranges. They were an important export from Palestine before the Nakba of 1948. The oranges were popular for their sweetness and thick skin, which made them easy to peel and ship.
I don’t really like how different I rendered and how dark I made the keffiyeh for this piece. Kinda makes it too different than the others, but I still like for the most part how this came out.

So… it’s no longer the next day from when I uploaded the first one. I had some technical difficulties. Where I unknowingly deleted all my progress and had to deal with that, BUT it’s all good now!
This time I took inspiration from Gaza strawberries, which are also known as red gold. The strawberries are incredibly sweet, rich and tasty. I made a character that's very sweet and high energy like a Gaza strawberry is. I got my Gaza strawberry information from here

These next four days I'm going to share pony designs based on fruits related to Palestine and Gaza. Their main design being showcased and also wearing a keffiyeh.  I'm using this to be visible and keep the talk going during this ongoing strike.
I chose the watermelon for today's inspiration. It's used to represent the Palestinian struggle as it has the same colors as their flag in most depictions. I'm just paraphrasing the history though, I encourage you to look into the history more in depth.

Happy Halloween!!
I made this a couple years ago, but I felt like it was appropriate for Halloween
A blurb from when I originally uploaded this:
I wanted to so much more darker art for the season, but I unfortunately caught a cold and couldn't really do much. I'm feeling much better now btw! I was even going to draw all my ponysonas in Halloween costumes and being spooky and such, but I settled for one of the more unique designs, ol' Tape here!
This is Tape, one of ponysonas, who actually is just a gross dark substance creature. They use a plush body for warmth, also because aesthetic. They can ripe through the sewn body to reveal more of their dark limbs. (I wanted to make the plush part in this piece look older, but ehh still looks cool to me)

Name: Eminence Rays
aka Ray, Em
Pronouns: He/ him
Parents: Fancy Pants and Fleur de Lis
Siblings: none
Bio:
A well known and loved pretty boy rich unicorn in Canterlot. Eminence Rays is famous for being the son of Fancy Pants and investing in young talents. Talents who most rich ponies don't believe in, but he sees something in them. Hopefully Ray isn't just throwing his money around to show off his wealth. He spent all of his life in privilege being a rich unicorn, using his daddy's money to solve a lot of his problems. Ray spends a lot of his time at parties on boats and other expensive places. He is openly bisexual, and is a strong advocate for more equality in Equestria. He's a bicon. Even though Ray is incredibly progressive, he has become numb to Canterlot unicorns terrible attitudes towards pretty much anything not a well to do unicorn. Whenever he spends dinner parties with such ponies, he doesn't even say anything, which is unlike him. Eminence is very outspoken about his views. He would much rather prefers partying with like minded creatures. He has had many different partners, but nothing serious. He most likely will find you attractive and will flirt with you playfully.
Cutiemark: A expensive looking mirror with a ray of light turning into a rainbow when it reflects through the mirror. How he uses his wealth to support young artists who he finds to have talent.

Name: Snowstorm
aka Snow, snowy
Pronouns: She/ her
Parents: High Winds and Fleetfoot
Siblings: none
Bio:
Mellow and kind mare, Snowstorm grew up with two loving mothers. Snow took the light pigments from both her parents and came out looking albino. She is hard to see in all the clouds and caused her moms stress when she was younger. Snow is also hard to see in well, snow. She loves the winter season, and was practically born for it. Her moms being wonderbolts and all were very busy during Snow's childhood, but that didn't stop them from spending as much time as possible with her. They played many games together and even did the littlest things together, High Wind and Fleetfoot made sure Snow knew she was loved and listened to. When her parents were busy with wonderbolts duties, Snowstorm was dropped off at the wonderbolts daycare. Since so many bolts were having children and stay wanted to work, this daycare was started. It was a place for the kids to play together while their parents were working. It was supervised by retired and trusted wonderbolts. While at this daycare, Snowstorm wasn't friends with many kids. Either they didn't see her in the clouds or, they didn't find her very interesting or fun. Snow didn't mind though, she knew how to play by herself, since she had a lot of alone time as an only child. She did have one friend there though, Rain. They both weren't friends with the other kids, Rain being incredibly shy and all. They became good friends there, but didn't keep in touch as time went on. Even is Snowstorm's adulthood, she is has a very strong relationship with her mom, and ma. They supported her in what she chose for career paths, with giving input when asked. Snowstorm isn't entirely sure what she wants to do with her live, but she still be kind, honest, and she'll have her mothers there to support her as well!
Cutiemark: A snowflake for her love of the winter season, and snowflakes in particular.

This is High Note the pony that I ship Fluttershy with in this universe! A random background pony who I liked the design of!
Let me say before we continue that I know the similarities between the designs of Mr. Shy and High Note. Whenever I draw Fluttershy's family I will make sure the guys much more green in their hue, so they don't look as similar. I actually did find High Note, before Fluttershy's family was even introduced, but I don't have much evidence for that. Let it be known that the two character aren't related in any way. I just thought Note looked cute, thank you for understanding. 
Anyway back to it! When I first made my Next Gen there weren't many shipping options that I liked for Fluttershy, in fact there wasn't many notable characters at all really. So younger me spent quite a while just looking through the wiki at all the background ponies to find a design that stood out. I ended up finding High Note, who I thought had nice colors and looked very cute. Also he had a music cutiemark which I thought fit well into a Fluttershy family idea. I also compiled some of his appearances, I really want to look at this boi. He has the same mane as Caramel, because that's how background design were like back then, I ended up changing Note's mane to differentiate the two more. 
1: High Note is a resident of ponyville, and has been for the whole time of the show, even a long time before then. He's a pretty active member of the community, he went to events and such. 
Note is a singer, sometimes a song writer. He is quite quiet, very kind hearted, understanding and a good listener. He is socially awkward, but he tries his best. He has a rather innocent and pure mind, even though he knows about how mean the world is he still is very warm hearted. Note loves his long hair and dressing more traditionally more feminine. He also doesn't care much for gender roles either. He is a little bit of a hippy and has an admiration for such people who care for others and the planet. When he gets closer and more comfortable with someone, he's more loud and enthusiastic. He also just sings all the time to himself. He's a real choir/ theater kid type.
High Note is more comfortable when he's preforming, and becomes incredibly expressive and confident. He feels as though can only be this confident when he's in a group like in a choir or a much smaller group, but he still needs others around. He also has a talent for theater, but mostly just musicals. He is an expert at belting and hitting those high notes. 
2: Even before the two actually met, High Note knew of Fluttershy. I guess you become a little well know after saving the world a few times, and also being a fashion icon for a short period of time. Note thinks Flutters is very pretty and wants to get to get to know her more, since they already live in the same town. Maybe even become friends? He basically just has a very cute and innocent crush on her.
3: His heart flutters whenever he sees he sees her in town, but he thinks she's too busy with life. He also doesn't want to bother her or invade her space, so he ends up just working on himself. 
4: He's quite lonely so works on preforming. He does some theater, and whatever vocal performances are available. He becomes parts of public and private choirs around the Ponyville area, but nothing too fancy. He makes some friends while doing these things and is having a good time. Whenever he's preforming he becomes a little cocky and his this aura about him. 
5: The mane 6 then all go together to one of High Note's choir concerts, and in this concert he has a solo in one of the songs. Fluttershy is impressed with him and now has a little crush of her own. 
6: Fluttershy doesn't pay too much attention when she's out on the town, especially when she's just getting groceries. Now, though she starts notices High Note around, and she looks around to see him. She never really noticed him before. Fluttershy goes to more of his performances off and on. Note saw a glimpse of Fluttershy at one of his performances, and starts feelings his heart flutter again. He hopes she liked the show, and his solos. 
They both have cute crushes now, and look for each other in town so they can look from afar. If they ever make eye contact, it's not for very long since they quickly look away and are blushy the rest of the day.
7: One of the days Fluttershy is out on the town with her friends, and looks for High Note and gets all sighy. Rarity notices her, she leans in and asks, "Have you made a move yet, darling?"
Fluttershy surprised answers with a red face, "I-I don't know what you mean"
"It's alright if you have a crush, dear. I noticed how you can't keep your eyes off that stallion, but I could be mistaken."
The yellow mare looks down in embarrassment, "I don't think I could build up the courage to even talk to him"
"I could help, if you want me to dear." Rarity offers.
The rest of the mane 6 talking among themselves, then Pinkie trots over to the two mares, and asks with squinted eyes, "What are you two at? OH, I KNOW HIM!"
"Really?" Fluttershy asks quietly. 
"Yep, I know pretty much everyone in Ponyville," Pinkie answers proudly. "And that's High Note!"*GASP*"I could totally introduce you guys!"
"I don't know about that."
"Well, whenever you're ready, we'll be here for you," Rarity tells Fluttershy.
8: At a later time, Pinkie pie, without much thought, pushes Fluttershy into High Note. Both are shocked, and Fluttershy is as red a tomato. "Are you alright, miss?" asks Note. She nods, walks away a little, then runs. 
9: Now the two are too embarrassed to look at each other even far away. Rarity sees how they're kind of a lost cause. Being the romantic she is, and wants her friends at least to have the chance of relationship.
10: She takes matters into her own hooves. At least a little bit. Rarity plans a little singer's get together and invites them both. Before she does though, she visits Fluttershy to make sure if she's really okay with going. Rarity won't force her, but will hype her up if she needs to. Rarity explains that it will be a cozy little get together, with not many ponies she doesn't know. Fluttershy hesitantly agrees. 
11: The two go together, and Rarity helped get Flutters a little dressed up. She was also there to make sure she would go and to comfort her if she wasn't feeling up to it. Fluttershy is incredibly nervous the whole walk there. Rarity tries her best to put Flutters mind at ease. When they get there, there's the Pony Tones (who Fluttershy is comfortable with), and only a few other ponies. The two friends greet some of the ponies then Fluttershy becomes full of nerves, once she spots High Note over near the wall, being friendly to whoever comes his way. 
12: Rarity gently nudges her over there, and Fluttershy goes and starts talking to him. He's a little surprised, but is friendly and happy. He starts with the talking, since this is a singer's gathering they talk about singing. She mentions that she went to some of his performances, and how impressed she was. She could never do something like that. Note is flattered by this, and tells her how he can go on stage even though he's actually quite a shy pony. They then start geeking out about musical performances they love, and how they love to sing and watch singing and dancing.  
13: The two have really hit it off, and Rarity is happy to see it. They talked for the longest time. Later into the event Rarity joins them, they seem so happy and excited. They then finally introduce their names to each other. They now have actually met and enjoy each other's company. One of two asks if they would like to hang out some other time, overjoyed the other accepts. 
14: Fluttershy and High Note's first date. The two weren't in a public place, to have more privacy. Fluttershy's friends were watching from afar for safety reasons. The mane 6 are all pretty protective of Fluttershy. They have a great time just talking again, and go on more dates. 
15: The couple go on very quiet dates, which at first they thought were platonic. They are very honest with each other, and find out they both like each other. They now go on even more dates, being picnics and such, all being far away from the generally public. 
16: The couple opening up more and more. Note being a little more loud and enthusiastic, he sings all the time. Fluttershy shows her snarky side. I love whenever she is sarcastic in the show. They have become incredibly comfortable with one another but still have boundaries that they respect.
17: They take it very slow for physical affection. They love each other very much and want to make sure the other is happy, so they had their first kiss deep into their relationship. They still prefer nose kisses and cuddles. They just don't kiss on the lips very much, they love on the check and forehead and such. These two are just very cute. They are both are the asexual spectrum, so they prefer cuddling and kisses over anything else. 
18: These two love each other very much, and have a strong bond of trust and communication. Little sweethearts these two. They were actually one of the first of the mane 6 to get married and settle down. They had a small nature themed wedding, with only friends and close family members. Some animals were there also of course! They both wore cute flower crowns, and Note might've also wore a dress. 
I once again was regretting my decisions by making such a long post again. I love how this one turned out though! The colors are so pretty, and it's all overall so soft!! I feel this is definitely a step up from the last one in quality.

Ponysona - Tape
I'm so proud of this design, and looking at it brings me joy! I had such a fun time making the thin lineart. Here is Tape, a sentient plushie draconequus, which I can't more people haven't come up with this! I was inspired by this post, to make a plushie draconequus since I believe the possibilities are just about endless! The different body parts could be from different plushies sewn together, and could be from a particular brands. They could be a plushie brought to live, or in Tape's case, a creature using the stuffie as a vessel. Little parts of the creature poke out, like the middle part of legs. 
Tape is based on my love of the draconequus, which are awfully interesting to me. They are also based on my love of pastel stuffed animals, and also a children's show called 'The Land of Pleasant Dreams.' Those things both feel very cozy to me. Tape is more of a mischievous and layed-back character compared to the other forms. This form does have draconequus magic to cause a little bit of trouble. Also they can be any size when Blue transforms into them, from an actual plushie to as big as Discord himself! 
They have both a glass goat eye and a button eye, a patch on one cheek, and patterned patched on the lion? front legs(not shown). The snail shell can move up and down Tape's back, when they want it to. It goes from backpack to butt enhancer. The back legs are based on the dog from Howl's Moving Castle and also Haku from Spirited Away, both have the the most interesting looking legs and I love them. 
Other ponysonas: Main Ponysona - Blue Bottle Fly, Ponysona - Midnight Nightowl, Ponysona - Sweetpea Soup

Ponysona - Sweetpea Soup
Soup! The nature loving goof! Basically the form for the feeling of running around barefoot in the soft grass. Definitely the youngest feeling of the forms, and acts free-spirited and a little childish. I had one other earth pony ponysona in the past, but that pony had the same hair and coat color as my own body, which wasn't a very fun or good looking choice on my part. Soup is a little more masc leaning than the other forms. And they have a little bit of fluff going on. 
 They based heavily off of mosscore, gremlincore, cottegecore and the sort! I love what these aesthetics have going on! Dull and more natural colors were used for their design, as well as a love for nature. I would love to be able to spend more time with animals and outisde in a light breeze. Nature is incredibly beautiful and calming to me and I love just looking up at trees and such!

Ponysona - Midnight Nightowl
Midnight was actually based on one of my past ponysonas. In fact, they were the one I made before I did this whole revamping process. At that time they were just called "Nightowl," since I'm pretty bad at names. And many of my past ponysonas were pegasi, and Midnight follows that tradition. (I really want to fly, man)
They're based off of my love the sky, the night sky to be more exact! I always enjoyed taking a moment to look up at the sky. Seeing the different colors of the sky and the shapes of cloud has always been fun (the fluffest clouds are my favorite!) I'm also quite the nightowl, thus the name! Late at night has always been a calm place for me, since there's usually no one else around and I'm also tired at that time as well. 
This form is the most fem out of all of them and gives me big nblw vibes. Even though, myself would date anyone, this form only dates women(mares?) or nonbinary characters. They're a more quiet and calm character, who tries their best to act reserved and cool. The form Blue uses when feeling cool and confident. 
Other ponysonas:  Main Ponysona - Blue Bottle Fly, Ponysona - Sweetpea Soup, Ponysona - Tape
