The Sun Dance. A Crow Indian undergoes the sacred chest piercing ritual. Montana. 1908. By Edward Curtis
* * * *
"The Sun Dance is a grueling ordeal for the dancers, a physical and spiritual test that they offer in sacrifice for their people. According to the Oklahoma Historical Society, young men dance around a pole to which they are fastened by "rawhide thongs pegged through the skin of their chests."[3] While not all Sun Dance ceremonies include piercing, the object of the Sun Dance is to offer personal sacrifice for the benefit of one's family and community. The dancers fast for many days, in the open air and whatever weather occurs."

The power of the world works in circles. The sky is round. The stars and the Earth are round. The seasons form a great circle. The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood. And so it is in everything where power moves.
-- Circle of the Sun (1960): A short documentary film on Kainai Nation, or Blood Tribe, of Southern Alberta, that captured their Sun Dance ritual on film for the first time.

Haven’t uploaded here in a while, so here’s a couple of Royal kids to make up for the long drought! This time with some Discord x Celestia and Luna x Rockhoof kids
More info on them under the cut, brought over from deviantart.
Drawing more ponies to deal with stress! Up next we have the royal heirs of the kingdom: Sundance, only daughter of Princess Celestia and Discord, and Eventide and Moonlight Sonata, the children of Princess Luna and Rockhoof. All three of them are very close, though Sunny and Moonlight are notoriously public shy. Some more info on them! Name: Princess Sundance Nickname: Sunny, Sunflower (only called this by Celestia) Age: Adult Pronouns: She/her Parents: Celestia and Discord Cutie Mark: Doesn't receive one, but if she did get one it would probably be a mark for empathy or compassion Bio: Despite being the only child of two of the most powerful (and prank loving) beings in the kingdom, Sunny is very shy and gentle. Growing up, her parents were very protective and unintentionally isolated her from making many friends. This is due to the fact that Sunny was kidnapped when she was very young by an extremist group who disapproved of Celestia's partnership with Discord. She was found fairly quickly, but it had a deep effect on her parents and how they raised her. Sunny is very nervous around ponies she doesn't know, despite a desperate desire to make new friends. As a result of her isolation, she is very very close to her quiet cousins Eventide and Moonlight. She is intelligent and well read, and has a deep guilty pleasure fondness for romantic novels and movies. She loves her parents a lot, but is frustrated with their coddling; Discord swings wildly back and forth between joking around so much that he knocks her off balance and being incredibly over protective of her. Celestia's moods are more balanced, but she can coddle her daughter to the point of being cloying. They've both gotten better about it over the years, but it's had an undeniable effect on Sunny. Name: Princess Eventide Nickname: Evie (only her closest friends and family get to call her this) Age: Adult Pronouns: She/her Parents: Luna and Rockhoof Cutie Mark: Constellations, in particular designing new looks for the night sky Bio: The oldest of the heirs and the one who spends the most time in public. Eventide is quiet and thoughtful, very sure of herself and her decisions. She's a steady rock for her more emotionally fragile cousin and brother, but doesn't baby them (Sunny in particular) as much as their parents do. Evie can be stoic to the point of stiffness and can come off as rude to ponies who don't know her well, but she's very caring and goes out of her way to help anyone who asks. She may look short next to her extraordinarily tall relatives, but she also towers over most ponies; she just happens to be the shortest of this bunch. She is very close to both her parents, but spends a lot of time designing new constellations with Luna in particular and studying the science of the night sky. Name: Prince Moonlight Sonata Nickname: Moonlight Age: Adult Pronouns: He/him Parents: Luna and Rockhoof Cutie Mark: Gardening, with an emphasis on night plants Bio: The youngest of the trio, though pretty close in age to Sunny. He's also very shy and introverted, with an extreme dislike of large crowds and the meanspirited gossip of Canterlot. He rarely makes court appearances, preferring instead to spend time in his night garden tending his plants and flowers. He has a surprisingly delicate constitution in the sun, and will often pass out if he has to spend too much time outside on a warm day. He and Sunny are very close, and often commiserate over their shared dislike of interacting with new ponies, though he doesn't have as strong a desire to make friends like she does; he's happy with his family and his garden. Of course this all changed when a fiery pegasus crash landed right into his hydrangeas and his life one night. Dragonfly, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash's oldest daughter, accidentally landed face first into being one of the only outside ponies to befriend the Royal Heirs. She and Moonlight are close in particular, though it takes him some time to admit that he enjoys her company over the previous peaceful silence of night. One day he'll figure out why his heart beats so fast whenever he sees her land in his garden at night with a cocky grin or why she blushes when he clucks over her injuries from her run ins with various dangerous creatures, but it'll take him quite a while to come to terms with it. Fun facts: Sunny's tail isn't actually like a horse tail, it's more like a cat or fox tail! It can wag and emote much more then your average loose haired horse tail. Moonlight's mane isn't white, it's a very pale silver and is emitting a constant gentle glow, which is more noticeable at night. He usually keeps his tail pinned up since it gets in the way while he's working and if he does have to go someplace that has other ponies, they often touch it without asking him which he haaaaates. He does like the silver and glow, which is the only reason he hasn't cut his mane or tail extremely short. His hooves have a glitter of stardust.

The hero and the warrior were like the sun and the mo-
Tumblr media
@cats-and-confusion, @leesbian42
Ayo, back with some shenanigans in space, WOO!
Obviously inspired by macaques gay play tm
Its actually a redraw of this:
Tumblr media
Also done by me, just a while back
I was quite conflicted if I should colour in Wukong and Mac like in the bapc pic or just go with the simpler shadowplay aesthetic
And honestly? Quite pleased with how it came out
But I still wonder what it'd look like in a different style so you MIGHT see another version sooon!
I will admit, the trees look much better this time. Less like big broccolis and more like trees
And that's cause I used a reference this time, I based them off of peach trees and used the peach/memory flower I designed in my earlier designs for the space outlaw gang only in the shadowplay style
And praise the Lord for copy paste!
It would've taken FOREVER to draw all those itty bitty flowers, although keeping track of the copies in the layers and merging them was a nightmare.
Planets are the same as the first pic, no big deal
I gave mihou white fur cause its a popular headcanon and it looked pretty, I would assume in intimate moments like this, he'd be able to let down the glamor
Also sadly couldn't do the same for wukong cause I couldn't find a shade that looked good (I'm so sorry, wukong (T^T))
The purple clouds are inspired by the swirly purple clouds Mac uses in his shadow play.
And that's about everything

Ok, it's been a month. It's nobody going to talk about Sun standing on his tips when he's welcoming the player to the daycare?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look at this ballerina we have right here.
(Video I screenshoted from)
And I don't think it's an animation mistake or that thing that happens when you aren't going to see a part of the character, so the animators just don't animate that part. You can see from the players pov that he sudenly goes a bit taller and then back to standing normally

For those who don't know, Walpurgis (or Walpurgis Night) is the eve of May 1 when witches meet according to German Folklore.
I really love the theme of Aimer's albums. All of their title has something to do with the sky: night, day, sun, rain.
So cool.
I like all her albums. But if I have to choose one, as of the moment of writing, then it is Daydream.
Of course, my favorite changes from time to time according to my mood. 😆
