Bingqiu ponies (Happy Birthday @Piosplayhouse!)

#poorly drawn svsss #svsss #luo binghe #shen qingqiu #equineswap au #They live in the same universe: I'm making it canon right now #I do think there are probably better horse breeds to assign these two #but as far as my little PD-SVSSS guys go - I think these fit alright. #Arabian for the gracefulness and elegance. Beautiful horse (all horses are beautiful so its a close race) #(and the missing rib. Cause....you know....) #Didn't quite get the head shape right but there is always next time. #Shetland binghe for the handsome little guy energy. I personally think a non silly little guy LBH would be a shire horse. #This is 100% an open invitation to debate and discuss in the comments and tags btw. I am no expert on SV or horses. #Also HI PIO! If you're reading this I just want to say thank you a million times over for everything. #You've been so kind and supportive and I think you are a brilliant and hilarious person. The tides of the yaoi wars turned when you enliste #I hope this next year for you brings wonderful things. You're a brilliant force in this world and we all are drawn to your light. #Happiest of birthdays to you B*)

@poorly-drawn-mdzs 's fairy fanart!!!!!!! bc she deserves it!!!!!!!!! beloved!!!!!!!!!!! ft jin ling the dog

#mdzs #my art #equineswap au #she's disgustingly candy coloured #bc i left colour theory at the door when i started on my drawing journey years ago and haven't retrieved it since #I'm starting to worry if it's ok to keep tagging this as mdzs bc like it is mdzs but it isn’t #also please let's pretend selfies are a thing i completely forgot this wasn't modern au until i was basically done with the drawing #once upon a time i got to hold a dog like this and it was the greatest moment of my life ever #that's the context for this piece #anyway i love fairy!!!!! with my whole heart!!!!!!! #fairy propaganda #there will be more.

the girls of @poorly-drawn-mdzs ‘s equineswap

i love them so much i had to draw them ♥︎

#equineswap au #poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #little apple #xiao pingguo #lan wangji #lan wunian #i can’t draw horses so please accept these girls #if this was six years ago when i went through an INTENSE unicorn phase maybe i could’ve drawn wei wuxian and lan wangji #but alas

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

MDZS Equineswap AU part 1: Bro we are horses. It’s okay to cry around me, we are best friends. Bro we are kissing.

[girl side of the swap]

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #equineswap au #that first teen wwx is so clearly a warm up i almost want to ‘accidently’ let the pasture gates open and let him roam #I really love how YLLZ pony came out though! All of them were made with love and thats what counts #I feel very strongly about teen wangji in dressage braids #its a neat and proper look! Almost overly formal and constricted! He lets it go free as Big Horse Wangji as *Symbolism* #and yes they have cutie marks in this AU. WWX’s used to be a lotus flower #designated chilling in the lake pony #lwj brands himself later on. in memorium for when wwx got his cutie mark branded as well #HGJ pony really *should be an alicorn but I was defeated by the wings #part two (the otherside of the swap) tomorrow! #This is my 3 month anniversary and follower milestone thank you #’OP why’ its my blog and I get to make the equine AU

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

I finally got around to drawing Lan Wunian and Xiao Pingguo! I hope you like them 😊

WOAH!!! This is so stunning! I'm truly speechless, thank you!

#submission #fanart #equineswap AU #lan wunian #xiao pingguo #Your art is beautiful! Thank you a million times over for this! #Thank you for also giving me a chance to draw them again. I miss our equine girls everyday. #I put your art in their enclosure and they said they liked it a lot. They also said I really should let them out more. #They started digging a little tunnel under a pile of hay. I think they might escape containment if I leave them alone too long. #The girls long for the open fields...as all women do. #If she's not looking out into the wild yonder with a deep longing in her eyes...is she really your girl?

Horse Yaoi trotted so Horsegirl Yuri could fly.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #equineswap au #wei wuxian #lan wangji #little apple #xiao pingguo #lan wunian #This is the first and second kiss I've ever drawn. And its horse yaoi and horsegirl yuri. Wouldn't want it any other way tbh. #And with that...Horse week has come to a close #Not the end of this AU mind you; I'll still throw some doodles in here & there and reblog any fanart #The concept behind this was to make something with the vibes of that one picture with the guys holding girls up on their shoulders #so the girls can kiss. And the guys are kissing too. I hope someone knows what I'm talking about. #Maybe one day I'll draw the unswapped version. Ill flip a coin to decide whether or not wangxian are carrying their equines or riding them #Thank you all so much for the extremely enthusiastic reception to my equineswap AU #The love for both sides of the swap has blow me away. These designs have been sitting around for a while and I wasn't sure I'd post them. #In the end it became a way to celebrate a follower milestone *and* this blog's 3 month anniversary #also...It has been a hard few weeks and I needed something light and fun. I really mean it when I say “you guys helped me pull through” #Love you all B'*)

MDZS Equineswap 2: The girls are here too

[Horse-side of the swap]

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #equineswap au #little apple #xiao pingguo #wei wuxian #fairy #lan wangji #lan wunian #Her name is also Lan Wangji; courtesy name is Wunian so I can tag it separately #thank you all for the horse name ideas BUT I was absolutely dying inside #thank you to clintbeefwoods for the incredible save. ‘no desires’ and also literally translating to ‘no thoughts’ #elegant and a little airheaded. Literally perfect for her #‘why are there ponies *and* humans in this seemingly MLP-esque AU??’ #well you see — they are a symbiotic species. Human civilization and pony civilization co-exist #Two nations working together! A horse needs a horse girl sometimes! #Jin Ling is a pomsky. The jin clan are dogs for the sake of this one joke. #I have sooooo many thoughts about this AU and I’m thrilled to finally be sharing them B*)

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

Name twinsies!

(Based on the community consensus about LWJ's grey horse's name)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #equineswap au #xiao pingguo #little apple #lan wangji #lan wunian #Took some inspiration from Pio's incredible art of horse wangji because i am merely a student in the art of horse #anyhow when I asked yall about lwj’s horse I did not think it would result in a overwhelming consensus that he’d just use ‘Wangji’ #its funny as hell in canon but as an equineswap? Pure Gold #I also really need to emphasis that the ponies *do talk* in this AU. They are a co-existing civilized species #LWJ (horse) is just a quiet guy. And Little Apple hasn't been around a lot of horses #so she thinks her talking donkey roommate who suddenly switched personalities is an exception not the norm #little apple is constantly violating politeness norms by only addressing the pony’s accompanying human and not them #LWJ has achieved that alicorn immortality in this AU so yeah #this human girl was absolutely named after the horse. Possibly *by* horse lan wangji #sometimes a horse girl raises a horse and sometimes a horse raises a horsegirl #thank you once again to tumblr user clintbeefwoods for suggesting Lan Wunian as another name! It’s very well suited for her! #and i can tag the lan wangjis’ separately now <3

In the equineswap au does everyone know that wwx lost his magic bc his horn is gone or does he pretend it's there somehow?

Wen Qing casted her scotch tape spell

#poorly drawn mdzs #equineswap au #mdzs #wei wuxian #wen ning #wen qing #big note here: These are *not* the final wen sibiling designs I want to do better #they really should be red horses but i couldnt find my marker B*( #wen ning carved it with his own two hooves #its a good enough fake unless you closely inspect it which it part of the reason the yllz stays somewhat secluded #they also painted JC’s transplant. He hasnt been swimming (or washing his horn) in *years* so he has no idea #wen ning shows him the can of paint he used 15 years ago and that kicks of the core reveal. Horn reveal #theres an ask burning in my inbox about how thrown together this lore is and FINE you GOT me #its mostly rule of funny. #but yeah wwx post horn loss 100% resorts to acting lazy to avoid showing his broken magic off. Necromancy is separate from unicorn magic #if he pretends he can use magic its gonna be like…stage magician stuff.

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

what kind of favour do you require in exchange for an equineswap jiang yanli

I will fight god if that's what it takes.

No favour required! These guys were in the original doodle dump!

#mdzs #equineswap au #wei wuxian #jiang yanli #jiang cheng #There were a lot more horses that were supposed to go into that first equineswap post...but I got short on time to clean them up #All the siblings have winding cutie marks! Maybe its a yunmeng thing or maybe its just a representation of their bond #the little cutie mark stamp is cute but lets have some variation! lets play around with it! #that sais...the temptation to make JYL's mark soup was very strong. But too silly and too much of a disservice to her character. #Even though her main usage of powers in this au is probably just to make soup #They are a little horse posse...trotting around together was the real magic all along.... #Oh god if this follows canon wwx gives up his horn in illegal horn transplant surgery #do you think wen qing carves and dyes it so it looks similar to JC's original horn? She *has* to...right? #Anyways! Thank you beloved mutual Stackedbirds for giving me an excuse to post this! #PS: I would do anything u asked without incentive btw. Just putting that out there

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

I hope the statuesque head empty goddess and her dirt gremlin girlfriend are having a nice day

They are living their best life B*)

(original pose)

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #equineswap au #xiao pingguo #lan wunian #I've had this ask sitting in my inbox for so long and I wanted to use it as a way to segue back to round 2 of equineswap... #This pose was my *nemesis* though. This is attempt number *four*. #It is far from perfect but I am content enough to finally post it B'*) #Life got busy and this meme is somewhat dead now - but I am doing necromancy to bring it back because it fits them very well. #I miss lil wang dearly. I will feed myself if I must #Also: I heard it was lesbian visibility day yesterday and who am I if not a warrior for the lesbians? #Lets go lesbians!!!

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

who's your favorite character to draw? (doesn't have to be only mdzs characters)

I'd have to go with...Little Apple and Wei Wuxian!

#poorly drawn mdzs #wei wuxian #little apple #ask #mdzs au #equineswap au #“op why is that a tag” Maybe I have a elaborate and thought out AU. An..... equine swap AU. #Might post my doodles later... or leave it hanging in the air as a threat. #xiao pingguo's terrible awful no good equine adventures start when neighbouring donkey kidnaps her and drags her on an adventure #okay lemme actually address the question. Cause I really appreciate the prompt! #I don't just have mdzs on the brain but they certainly are what I *draw* the most these days. #I spent a good amount of time hammering our wwx's design to be easy and fun to draw so I suppose I enjoy drawing him! #and while im not at all an equine drawing master...I really love drawing little apple. The donkey version. #Though her scrappy human au version has grown on me immensely #tertiary to these two....I really like drawing my goofy cat creature and the fluffy dogs. Though that's rather self indulgent to say

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

I'm on a trip right now but next week when I get home I'm gonna draw Xiao Pingguo and Lan Wunian

Would you do it. Would you do it for them

#ask #equineswap au #xiao pingguo #lan wunian #Anon sent this a week ago (whoops (welcome home (I'm putting absolutely no pressure on you I just want to be silly))) #They both had to learn this technique from fairy btw #the act of using the soggy eyes is not a natural inclination for their personalities #I like to imagine she's just out of frame directing them. 'Get soggier' she says 'Like you will die unless you get some peanutbutter' #Fairy the dog is probably not much of a beggar. Jin Ling doesn't want her belly to hurt. #Jiang Cheng only spoils dogs with cuddles #So lets go with 'Fairy the human's love language is probably touch and words of affirmation' #of course I'm thinking about love languages for these AU characters right now. I will ruminate on the other two girls' today. #this has nothing at all to do with Anon saying they want to draw the beloveds. my god I'll die for you if you do but no pressure

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

sibling art pt 2!!!

second ask of the day and please do not feel obliged to answer either I just think you deserve to see this

they captioned this one "in honour of og Fairy being a dog"

The sensitive stomach of a dog girls VS the urge to eat whatever falls on the floor

#mdzs #equineswap au #xiao pingguo #little apple #lan wunian #fairy #Thank you and your sibling so much for this lovely art AND comic!!! Its incredibly sweet!! #I also appreciate you taking the pressure off of me posting (but also this comic is *too good* to stay hidden in my inbox/folder of joy) #Fairy is also such a mood. For me specifically. #I think most of my friends can attest to the fact I am notorious for eating things I should not #I've gotten food poisoning from things you wouldn't even think someone would attempt #There have been near scuffles as I make a dive for food that falls on the ground at the same time a pal is trying to say 'No thats Garbage! #Back to fairy...I'm hitting the gavel and declaring her both a 'tummy hurts all the time' girl #and also a 'will eat things without checking its edibility' girl. #jin ling is a dog that is so picky he wont eat anything off the floor. So someone's gotta do it.

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

not really an ask but MY SIBLING DREW YOUR FAIRY FANART!!!!!!!!!

we both love her

AAAA IT’S FAIRY!!!!!

#mdzs #equineswap au #fanart #fairy #oh my GOD your sibling absolutely nailed the design and took it to a whole new level of princess-cute-core #Please give them a big thank you from me! #I'm especially in love with the shoes. Love the idea of the curved shoes for the Jin Ling and Fairy design. Cannot draw them (yet) #Fairy is the type of girl who walks into starbucks and looks like shes gonna get the pink drink or a very complex order #but she's just there for a puppuccino for her little dog that she delicately carries around everywhere #She loves that little spoiled dog so much <3 Jin Ling is the most pampered creature in this entire AU #They don't have puppuccinos in AU canon but she is definitely only feeding him premium meats. #Oh if horses talk do dogs also talk? I cannot recall if dogs also talk in the MLP Canon... #Ok back from the wiki with some horrific knowledge about the animal sentience situation in Equestria #Dog Lore wise; There is *one* dog in the whole series and its applejack's boarder collie Winona. Spike in EQ girls doesnt count. #Jin Ling cannot talk but he thinks his thoughts very loudly
