Hey Mei! How's everything going?
Can you guys believe I forgot my own birthday?? Wouldn't be the first time it happened hshsgshs
I'll be doing a small birthday arc for Mei to take my mind off things- in the meantime, questions for Ebonlace are also welcome! She's the Rarity of this universe, as y'all prolly noticed.
★ To-Do List Master Post!
This will be a blog for me to remember the ideas I want to get out of my head and possibly put somewhere else without forgetting them – And also for you guys to have in mind some of my future projects!!! :D
“Hello, Nairobi!” – Based on a dream. A story that revolves around Fluttershy in her younger years and an injured sparrow she finds in the forest, that she calls “Nairobi”.
Valley of Echoes – Expanding on the universe of Dreamtide through the eyes of Alpaca, who fights through new dangers and creatures with her newfound friends and rediscovers her memories and purpose! What begins as just another adventure becomes a terrifying search for the truth.
Rocket to Insanity: Yesterday Forever! – Let's say it would be a retelling of the original story, but delving a little deeper into Rainbow Dash's mind; Something that progresses more and more as the story rolls over with me trying to play with the psychological horror bits. An idea that suddenly came to me that I really want to develop somehow! The name may change, though.
“Play Dead!” – A story that revolves around Marble Pie and her child, escaping a little further from psychological terror and entering into ACTUAL terror. Marble and her child are being chased by strange creatures, and this mother needs to find a way to keep her little girl safe; one way to do this is by teaching her to "play dead". Another story based on a dream, and which may also undergo name changes!
Ideas for art and more will be thrown into the sketchbook for further elaboration. Character references and the like will be delayed because there are SO many and I don't have the patience to draw that much and come up with clothing and whatever-- sucks to be me, I guess!
“Tipsy you little jackass, please remember to draw some art for the rest of the ideas, too! A story with a nice cover is indispensable, don't forget. ✨”
– A message for myself in the future. I know you'll be doing some half-assed thing by the time you're re-reading this, so pull up those socks and work properly for once. 🦈💢
Drive: Hunger I thought I saw you say some posts ago to not say her name. Are you afraid of you know who to not say her name out loud?
First of all, I'd like to make it clear that the Valley of Echoes, my AU, is mostly based on dreams / nightmares of mine (shouldn't be a surprise, they all live in a place called “Dreamtide” after all hsgshsh)
Third, this AU isn't all about roses and friendship – There are many topics that can be sensitive to some people. Violence and gore are quite common; And it continues with mental illnesses, domestic abuse, mentions of depression, etc. etc...
This creature here is based on a dream I had about FNaF! In the earliest version of the story, there were originally three guardians to look after the children of Solveil: Alpha, Beta, and Charlie (This one rabbit up here is Charlie, yes). My brain was becoming a mush trying to think of a new design for those three, and then... BAM!! I already like to reference other works in my stories, so why not? If you see something familiar in the future and think "Hey, I think I've seen this somewhere before-” Well, maybe you're not wrong! This time, I based the design of this monstrosity on one of my favorite artworks – The Drawkill series.
So, here’s a glimpse of the Chimera Initiative! A project created by Solveil and Twilight to hunt for shards of the Elements of Harmony and the like. Again, if you are sensitive, I suggest not paying too much attention to the smaller details – There's a lot of dark stuff behind this tale!
There is still SO much I still want to show here! The girls' mother, some Dreamtide specific events, the new Cutie Mark Crusaders-- whoah! I've never felt so inspired!! 💪🦈✨
Terra: Paca if you trust *making sure they aren't overheard by accident* "her" then I and hopefully others will give her trust too. I have no problem with her trying to playfully scare.
“Thank you for being so understanding, though! I wish they would try to take a different view of this trouble, too...”
~ Little Paca.
Something invisible is sitting on the bed behind you, Mei.
“Suri isn't bad, I'm sure of it. She just likes to scare others sometimes...”
~ Little Paca.
Actually, some sort of tall, two-horned creature is following you.
“I hope it stays away from the cookie jar...”
~ Mei.
Coming back to this art style after so long feels like a regression; not because I dislike it, but because it's basically the starting point of my arting journey. It's possible that I'll stay in this style for a while, until I can find a better way to evolve. Even then, thanks to all of you for following my little blog!!
I'll start to place some alternative texts on my answered asks! Maybe this will make some things less confusing.
