got engaged today near a creepy catholic church on prince edward island under the eclipse — all of it was so surreal & magical and i still just cannot believe that my best friend of many years gets to be my wife-husband one day soon. that i’ll be moving to canada. that one day we’ll have a house and yard and garden and a lovely life together.

but now more than ever i am kind of scared we are t4t. there’s no hiding it from my family anymore, and society is so scary to navigate as functionally disabled queer people. sometimes i wonder if even here is safe enough for us. i wish i didn’t have to worry about it on a day that should otherwise be quite joyful but… ugh, it’s been on the brain for awhile, especially since we are both nonbinary but transed with hormones / expression rather than how we’re referred to as — even some other queer people don’t get it, by far larger society.

it’s idealistic to think there might be a difference made before things get scarier, but who knows. life is life. i am still grateful to finally be living the way i want to, though, and not just appeasing my family by dating a man.

i’m going to talk more about it because no one can stop me

mourning dove is a reclusive ecologist living in white tail wood. she studies the relationship between a specific species of spider, one species of ant, and a genus of fungi (it has two species, both of which are only found under the leaf detritus in white tail wood). while her work isn’t going to change the world, she receives a healthy stipend from her alma mater because the real world sucks, but equestria doesn’t have to.

she has narcolepsy and is chronically fatigued, which is why her wings droop. they’re hard for her to hold up to look “neat” or “tidy.” her house is also a mess, but her pet pigeons help her clean when she asks them nicely. too bad real pigeons aren’t as nice. in addition, she has tritanopia as described above, and derealization / depersonalization disorder. she doesn’t often feel exactly… seeded into reality. often, it’s more of a deep and distressing otherness that only the methodical study of three species’ interconnected lives that make her feel grounded enough to function.

all of that is to say: when she sees a weird pony wrapped in magnolia blossoms in the forest, she just thinks she’s hallucinating — either a new mental illness to the cocktail or just sleep deprivation. it’s neither. it’s very-real ghosts. kind of. but also her very-real future girlfriend (that’s right she’s gay jee wow who would have guessed)

the comic is some bash of paranormal, fantasy, adventure and slice of life. i have a lot of balancing to do to make those genres work together in any capacity, but i look forward to the challenge.

ideally, it will also not be particularly long, since i know i’ll burn myself out if it is. i have had this idea for years, though, so i am going to do it its justice regardless (:

some rough sketches of mourning dove, the main character of a comic project i'm working on. i wanted to sketch some poses for her and get a feel of how to draw her since... i'll be drawing her a lot if i get this off the ground.

she has tritanopia, so the entire comic will be in a color scheme that is friendly to that. i may still decide to go with her "normal" color scheme since another plot point is relevant to her lack of sense of self, but we'll see.

#oc talk #comic musings #mourning dove is philtosexual so it’s good that her girlfriend is a ghost #although i guess you could fuck the tree pony ghost thing if you tried hard enough #not really her thing tho

finally named my fursuit! his name is Maskull after the main character in A Voyage to Arcturus. would recommend; it's like... surrealist and poststructural in a lot of ways despite being published prior to the establishment of poststructuralism. (look at me using my degree)

anyway, he's a puma! from space. he's a blast to draw. (:

#gonna make tiktoks with this suit i think lol

"Perhaps it escaped at my birth, burrowing into the warmth of my flesh, seeding itself into my mind like maggots in warm, rotting wood and festering into flies whose husks have built up over my adulthood."

i just picked up my fleurity fic again, and this is one of the last sentences i wrote in the WIP. i SHOULD be writing the actual fic right now, but let me just talk about this quote into the void for a sec under the break.

this sentence is DIRECTLY about fleur being a lesbian.

if you're not familiar with my fic (you should totally read it), fleur-de-lis is married to fancy pants and they are part of the unicorn aristocracy. they uphold very old, traditional beliefs, values and systems in the name of preserving culture; however, none of these things have flexed much over time.

as you can imagine, the culture of literal aristocrats is very heteronormative. after all, the whole point is to have more royal babies. the queers could do that depending on their flavor, but any doubt in child-rearing is frowned upon when you're part of a high-and-mighty elite group. really the only change they've made in this behavior is that they realized incest bad, actually, though they still have strict stipulations by family on what members' partners can look like -- the aristocracy are like horse breeds with each family exhibiting certain features in modern day. (if you're curious, the de-lis family are white with blue, pink, or purple hair and tend to be tall and slim.)

fleur is a lesbian, period. yeah, she had a kid. that was part of the whole thing and expected of her. but she's a lesbian. to some extent, she's always known that. in a way, it's the catalyst for how much she daydreams.

normal pony society is pretty gay in my canon. i mean, such an overwhelming part of the population are born women that it would be weirder if it wasn't gay. partners able to have children biologically are often celebrated to a little extra extent in traditional values (thus some foundational reason for the aristocracy being uplifted to begin with), but in the modern equestria age with magic and technological advances, pretty much anyone who wants kids can have them. this has been the reality for a long time, and fleur has been painfully aware of it.

fleur went to what amounts to a prep school with other rich ponies and aristocrats. she wasn't homeschooled because her parents thought she wouldn't be able to relate to the "average pony" or whatever. well, she can definitely relate to the gay stuff.

aristocrats are betrothed from birth, although exceptions exist so long as the pony replacing the arranged one is suitable in looks and personality. fleur and fancy pants were arranged within days of their birth, and they were aware of it for an uncomfortable amount of their lives. their families had them spend a lot of time together as kids, but they never really became more than acquaintances. they like each other, but they don't even share enough interests to fully be considered "friends."

as you can imagine, this led to some Feelings on fleur's end. bad ones. oh-no ones. not only isn't she friends with this guy she's supposed to marry, but she was super into this girl during her high school years -- oh no, is she gay?

these feelings never went away. as she says, they're like maggots in wood, turning into flies, and then the flies make more maggots and their bodies build up. this revolting description is how she feels about her own sexuality. she's been conditioned to think this from birth, but she's finally in a point in her life where it's breaking her. her and fancy have been married for 15 years. there isn't anywhere left for those maggots and flies to go now.

i don't want to talk too much more at length about it since the story is literally about fleur's Gay Journey, breaking through her internalized homophobia (toward herself, not others), and learning about how to be happier along the way. but a lot of this bitch's problems stem from a homophobic culture that has her in a death grip. that's why she describes being gay in such a revolting way for herself.

i miss spewing to people about my ocs, so, you know what? here are my ocs. i have way more. they aren't all mlp by even a long shot.

these two are winter light and sweet thing. they are both eldritch beings sent to equestria to spread fear and dismay -- similar to cosmos if you've read the g4 comics -- so, as you can imagine, those aren't their real names. they are also such horrible abominations that even their pony forms are... wrong.

winter light was smart enough to go with a form that could at least be explained away. "oh, i'm piebald, don't be a dick about this." kirins having extra horns? well, sure, it's kind of wrong-looking... and its eyes being black...

okay maybe it's a lot less normal if you break it down that way, but look at sweet thing!! [fair warning that sweet thing has chaotic pronouns: candy/cotton/cottons/candyself]

sweet thing is off cotton rockers. absolute bonkers. eternity has not been kind to cotton mind, truly. the form candy takes is so wrong on so many levels -- for one, i think the only way bat ponies are portrayed in the comics is gray and purple, so candy's already weird there. even with that canonical thing aside, the candy (physical item, not the pronoun here) on cotton body is uh... there permanently. it doesn't come off. also, candy doesn't have teeth. just... that... sexy tongue. candy can still speak just fine, though. eldritch magic or whatever.

i only have so much time before my shift starts, but basically, winter light is a very stoic person and is generally very put-together. like, yeah, sure, the job kind of sucks, but it's whatever.

"it's whatever" would be easier on it if sweet thing wasn't its coworker. candy is overbearing, touchy, annoying, and doesn't even try to fit in. imagine cotton like an evil pinkie pie.

and i mean, look, winter really can't stand sweet thing, especially when the kirins had the silence spell on them. but, eternity is a really long time.

they definitely hate fuck. but aren't an item.

i'll talk about these creatures more later if there's interest. i just love getting to jab about my ocs. their boss is also really interesting.

sometimes, we have bad coworkers. especially when you're both infinitely old, cosmic beings. sometimes they go a little... batty.

winter light is the "kirin" and sweet thing is the "bat pony"

i headcanon that queen haven takes on the maternal role for sunny and izzy as well as her actual daughters, since sunny & izzy don’t have canonical mothers (as far as i know) — even if they did, their mothers definitely seem to be absent so it feels kind of natural for her to fall into that role for them!

the other question… i don’t know how to answer lmao

seven tubes of pringles . . .

hey are you okay? you awake? mom's coming over. you need to keep cool. you can keep cool, right? don't blink too much. she'll know. im going to the grocery store to pick up snacks. do you need anything? i'm going to buy five tubes of pringles. do you want one? two? hey, you need to blink or she'll know. keep your cool. if she asks where i am i'm getting gorceries. seven tubes of pringles. seven tubes of pringles is normal, right? okay, bye, love you! do you know where my keys are.
