The Leavening of DeviantArt?
1 min read
So I know that there are very few people who are still on DeviantArt here after the whole debacle and what not. But for those who are still here and would like to continue following my work, I am also on Twitter if you're interested. Other than that, I don't plan on leaving DeviantArt. I'm really good at unintentionally being completely clueless of what is occurring around me and on social media and as result (at the time of posting this) have no clue what's motivating people to leave DeviantArt. As far as I know, I've only seen that people are frustrated with the new design and UI being forced onto all the users of the site. I personally don't see that as a reason to leave if that's all it is but by all means, please let me know if something bigger is going on hear and I'm just missing it.
But anyways, enough of that. I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm also on Twitter if you'd like to follow me there as well to continue seeing my work and what I'm up to.
Thanks for looking!

DONUT STEEL PEEPLS ART
3 min read
Ok, so I've been seeing more and more of the artist's I follow on several different social media platforms talking about how some individual or more has stolen their art, tried to sell their art, copied or "ripped" their art without crediting them, etc. and I gotta say, that bothers me. I don't often like putting my opinion out there unless I feel like it needs to be heard and I feel like this fits the bill. Now, I don't know if anyone has done this with any of my art save for one website, NicePNG, except in this particular case they only took my Apul Jek pic and offered it for free download giving everyone permission to use it for whatever reason they wanted. My username was mentioned in the page, but I had no idea what made them think it was ok to pull that from my page and offer it as some sort of product on their website. Then I realized that up until today, every last one of my pics on my deviantart page were able to be downloaded for free. I spent some time today fixing that in hopes of preventing this from happening again.
I mean, I'm not super upset about this. I'd just rather not let this get out of hand and lead to people thinking they can just take my art and use it for their own purposes without having to credit the original artist (a.k.a. Me). So I think I should make myself clear. I don't have a problem if peeps want to download my art and have it on their devices or whatever. Especially if they intend on using it in some way, shape, or fashion to help them either practice their own artistic skills or maybe just have something to recreate. I used to do the same thing with a bunch of different artists and their styles except I never really shared or posted any of it because it wasn't my original work and I was only using it for practice. So if someone wanted to do something like that with my work, I have absolutely no problem with that. In fact, I'd be flattered that someone liked my work so much that they'd like to learn from it. However, and here comes the big "but", I would only condone this if they were to give me credit for the original work. When someone goes out of their way to take someones art and copy it, only changing little details here and there or just straight up replacing elements in the art to try to claim it as their own work, that is when it becomes a problem.
Like I said before, I haven't really had a problem with this but I've seen a good number of other, more talented artists struggle with this and it is seriously a problem. What I want you peeps to take away from this is simpy DONUT STEEL PEEPLS ART!!! Seriously, it's not that hard. Just credit the original artist. That's all you have to do. Thank you!
(Apologies for the mini(ish) rant, I just felt like I needed to say something about this.)

Ship thingy (revised)
5 min read
Okitay. I'm going to jump on the bandwagon of shipping so here goes nothing...
For starters, there aren't many ships that I like. I'm not particularly big on shipping thus I don't really have that many in mind. However, there are a few that I do like and may use in the OLP reboot. So without further ado:
1) Fluttershy×RainbowDash-
Hardcore shipping this rn. I just think they'd be great together. I mean, the bond is practically already there. If I'm not mistaken, they go further back (canonically) as friends than anyone else in the mane six or main characters. Plus I have been influenced by Canon and fan depictions of their interactions that it just makes me happy seeing them together.
-Headcanon-
They met as fillies through their parents (mainly their mom's who were currently friends) and became friends almost instantly. Later on, they go to flight school together. Fluttershy gets bullied often and Dash is almost always there to have her back. (This secretly makes Dash Fluttershy's hero) As result of Dash being there for Fluttershy, Dash gains a few bullies herself. Fluttershy tries to help Dash when she can but she's just too shy and afraid of the bullies to do much.
·One of the most popular insults the bullies throw at the two are "Filly foolers" and "dykes". This makes the two secretly question whether or not they actually feel that way about each other but are too embarrassed to even think about saying something like that out loud. The tension between the two builds up as result and they try to talk it out. Afraid of losing their friendship, they don't want to do anything that would go beyond friendship. But the more they interact and stay around each other, the more they want it to happen. Eventually they do get together and a beautiful relationship is born.
2) Starlight×Maud
Okay, so I was watching season 7 to catch up a couple of nights ago. Come episode 4 (I think is what it was), I was immediately shipping Starlight and Maud by the end of the episode. If you haven't seen the episode, go watch it to see what I mean.
-Headcanon-
(Insert their interactions from episode 4 here) The next day, the two go kite flying. For a while, it becomes part of their daily schedules to come out and do this. On some odd days, Starlight will follow Maud down to Ponyville "Adjacent" as they call it. Even out in the caves at the entrance, they'll find something to do even if all of those rocks and gems are "common." As they spend more time together and grow in their friendship, their bond begins to go a little beyond friendship. One day, Starlight decides to bring lunch with her on one of their kite flying days. She thought it would be nice for them to eat out for a change. Maud ended up really liking the meal and being a little surprised. She was delighted. After lunch they do a little kite flying, then head home to Ponyville Adjacent. When they get there, the natural beauty of the place fills Starlight with just a little more happiness. When she looks at Maud to say something, she only gets a single urge. She kisses her and thanks her for a great time. Immediately after she dashes off flustered. Enter relationship.
3) AJ×Rarity-
I wasn't entirely sure about this but I have been influenced by the great Lopoddity and her portrayal of this ship.
-Headcanon-
They first met in filly school when they were paired together in a science project. Neither one actually knew what to do. Although, they both got a good laugh out of one another's attempts at trying to understand the project. Friendship begins. Years later in ponyville, Rarity (desperately in need of inspiration) looks around her. With whatever luck AJ has, Rarity's eyes come to rest on her and she immediately feels the need to make a line of "Country" dresses. AJ is then pursued by Rarity to model for her in a couple of the dresses. AJ reluctantly agrees. Rarity low-key likes what she sees😋 Rarity ever so subtly flirts with a flustered AJ in one of her dresses. Rarity is very entertained by AJ's unentertained reactions. They pull an all nighter trying to finish up the last few dresses and find themselves having a few drinks when they're done. Push comes to shove and (after a few glasses of wine) an intoxicated Rarity makes a move on AJ (which is oddly returned) The two find feelings for each other and eventually get together.
----------------------------------------------
Now, I'm not very good at this sort of thing so excuse the major crap that is what I have written. They were just a few ideas I had that will probably change if I do decide to use these in the OLP reboot.
Honestly tho, my favorite ship is flutterdash. At least, I think that's the ship name. I'm too afraid to search it up knowing what the internet has in store for such a search😂 I may or may not draw something for this just cuz but we'll see!
