Rumour has it, although the King of Ithaca had returned to his shores, his throne remained empty for the better part of a year.

The lines of the LGBT community's flag are straight.

It's 2 am right now and I'm over the moon with this reply, I am genuinely so relieved that other immigrants also have felt the same alienation from our parents' culture too.

I hope your grandfather truly rests in peace, I know he'd be happy to have you as a grandchild, especially since you have such an amazing way with words that allows others to identify and relate what they are experiencing too.

Thank you for writing the fic, I barely see good quality works that correctly and perfectly grasp the immigrant lifestyle 😭

As an immigrant child, your new fic had resonated with me. It made me tear up eating dinner with my family.

When Saffron said, “This selfish desperation to know that I haven’t lost my connection to my home." It instantly took me back to being constantly teased by my friends for not being 'in tuned' with my culture like how they were, or how I desperately tried speaking in my native tongue with my parents, despite having a very clear american accent and them constantly assuring me that speaking in english is fine. My grandmother had passed earlier this year, she was the grandparent that I knew the least. I started asking about her from her sisters as my mother isn't in the state to answer anything, I've tried so hard to pick up the pieces of what her sisters have told me to construct an image of her personality. She used to constantly ask me to call her so when I read about Saffron talking about how video calls have were never the same and never enough, it hit me like a load of bricks.

Your fanfiction is so tremendously beautiful in describing the feelings I have felt all my life. How I know that where I am right now isnt home, but my actual home has been so unfamiliar after my grandmothers passing. I have constantly felt like I have disappointed her, so when Sunset confessed to the same thing, I couldn't hold my emotions in anymore. The ending with Saffron talking about how she would be waiting for Sunset to come home if she was her mother made hope that was true with me and my grandmother, if I were to ever reunite with her again when I pass away myself.

Thank you so much for writing this story. It was the most comfortable yet intense stories I have ever had the blessing to read. I am sorry for rambling and I hope this entire message makes some sort of sense? I hope whatever you're dealing with gets solved to the way you have hoped it would.

You have also made me see dal in a new light, it was never a food that I used to like, but I am willing to give it another shot lol

i looked at this ask earlier and had to take some time to process how to respond to this. i think tho i still dont really know how to, so i hope thats ok!

first of all, thank you so much for being comfortable enough to tell me ur story. it really means a lot that you would open up to me, a stranger, and the fact that you did so bc something i made had an impact on u quite actually moved me to tears. im a bit of a soggy mess rn lol. thank you again, truly.

second, i want to express my empathy for you and your situation with your grandmother. my grandad passed away before i could graduate, and it was during the height of lockdowns, so i hadnt seen him in a while. i didnt go to visit him in the hospital, so theres always this feeling of "what if i had called more? what if i had tried harder to visit? what if i spent more time with him?" that doesnt really go away. and, as a kid of 2 immigrant families, i can also really empathize with feeling a disconnect from your culture--when ur not surrounded by ur parents culture but u also visibly dont look like ur "from" the one u were raised in, it can feel really alienating, even though you havent done anything except just. exist in this sort of inbetween?

all of this i guess is to say that, i put a lot of my own experiences into this fic. and it's almost relieving in a way to know that u saw what i put there, and that this experience is something that other people have felt as well. thank you so very much again for reading ;v;

some old mane six redesigns i never posted :p

NOT BRISTLEFROST 😭😭😭

If moonpaw is a gray cat, she must choose.

My interpretation of Applejack! I got carried away and made up lore for this “alternate canon”…

This Applejack is the protective mayor and sheriff of Ponyville, a dingy town on the outskirts of Equestria. She will do anything to protect her people, and isn’t fond of outsiders—especially exiles from Canterlot like Twilight Sparkle.

After an incident that claimed the lives of her parents, Applejack is extremely distrusting of magic and unicorns in general. However, it seems she’s pretty sweet on the local seamstress, Rarity…

Bonus comic of AJ meeting Twilight! Pretty different from canon, ha

have you guys considered fhat maybe. just maybe. warrior cats is Bad actually

in light of recent brony twitter events

Not to mention that both their husbands are losers so there's obviously going to be gossip about them while slowly realising that the she-cat they're paired up with turns out to be better than their mate in every way

LeafXTawny old lady yuri is honestly so compelling. Two women who lost their partners finding love again in each other, with the (potential) weight on their shoulders to lead their entire society to a brand new place, both having done this before with its own challenges. The angst of Leafstar dying in the next arc (very likely) and Tawnypelt only having her memory to carry on in the stories that will be told about her. About starting over, a new place, new relationships, new challenges, and no guarantee it is going to last. So they have to find the little joys in the moments they have, and make the best of their fleeting lives together.
