designing my little pony generation 6! ♡ || g5 discussion, concepts, & commentary!

[@sketchyghost_yt]

Cozie Glow being a unicorn that doesnt like to use magic and Starburst an earth pony who yearns for it is such a cool thing! I can already imagine a ‘body swap episode’ where at first, theyre both quite happy (Starburst being delighted) but they eventually get to the conclusion that they wamt to be themselves the most, even if for Starburst thst means missing magic (hes actually so trans coded)

[@gummyteethmaxxing]

I LOVE THIS!!

[@billiehall7313]

YES YES

[@x1ex56]

I lowkey think it could be a one sided “hate” thing on starbursts part

[@AverageEggmonEnthusiast]

They make for really good counterparts to each other and have so much built in conflict! I really like how Starburst vs Cozy Glow and Whysteria vs Cherrie pie gives a tension to the friend group right from the start. Trixie struggling after getting her cutie mark could also pair well with Sol not having one yet (cause some anxiety for her)

[@yaymagien]

I think the "they prefer to be themselves" thing can be added onto a bit. I can see starburst missing memorizing spells and learning about them, while cozy glow enjoys having the extra help of her magic for art. another small idea, I think that this episode would make cozy glow wanna look a bit more friendly so that she can feel comfortable selling stuff without looking unapproach-able, since starburst looks pretty friendly. this could lead to her using magic (or having her friends help) to change up her look a bit, moving forward into her arc (ALSO YES TRANS STARBURST WORLD DOMINATION ALTHOUGH I DONT KNOW IF HE'D BE TRANSMASC OR UNKNOWINGLY TRANSFEM..)

[@TheVerySleepyAuthor]

I can ABSOLUTELY see Starburst coaching Trixie every time she uses magic wrong (or just coaching Trixie in general?!?). Every. Single. Time. Without fail, not even in a life-or-death situation where they're running for their lives. The only times it doesn't happen is when Starburst is away from Trixie when it happens.

[@its_4amm]

Oh i think its funnier if Trixie is sometimes annoyed with constant remarks from Starburst but at the very moment she Actually needed an advice she doesnt have him around and/or didnt listen close enough to his yapping about the very thing shes encountering.

[@TheVerySleepyAuthor]

@@its_4amm The only one who actually listens to Starbursts rambling is Cherry Pie, but she's not actually paying attention, if you get what I mean. Like listening to a little kid ramble about their hyperfixation of the week (Cherry Pie's clearly had practise with that).

[@leon3869]

YESSSSS (copy n pasting my reply from another comment) if theyre ever in a combat situation i can image him giving her spell instructions/advice and her begrudgingly taking it just to fix whatevers going on its a fun dynamic! a little similar to him giving magic advice to his dragon, except trixie has an ego and doesnt want it once they start tolerate each other trixie can start improving her magic and he can start improving his teaching skills (which is his dream!) , benefiting and bonding both! (trixie also gets closer to her goal of being a better magician!) maybe after development she actively seeks him out for help n stuff!

[@gloryasme]

I'm thinking,,, "more than your mark" or "more to your mark" if you get the drift Dream Chasers is also an idea

[@backyardbugzzy222]

I have a fun idea for Sol! I think you could make Sol a protective younger sibling by making them constantly defending and fighting people for Starburst! They think they have to defend Starburst because of his destiny being seemingly unobtainable. This could take the protective older sibling trope and turn it on its head. It could also give Sol something to relate to with Cherry where Cherry can bring her wisdom to the table to help Sol. You can also have Sol have a secret, guilty fear that they will end up having a cutie mark like Starburst’s that will be seemingly impossible to achieve (which can play into the whole who we make ourselves to be, not what we were told to be thing)

Lil lore idea:What if the main 6 in this gen actually represents a stereotypical negative emotion like envy or arrogance and they have to find a way to figure out how to make those feelings positive if that make sense?for example,if the emotions they represent in envy instead of being envious of another pony they find a way to make it so that they can help set out goals to themself and what not.i think it’ll be really interesting for characters development!!

I feel like Cozy glow and Sun burst would get into a major argument about magic. He would be mad that she doesn't really use her magic and that she should be "grateful" she has magic.

[@SAMILOVESSKZ0.0]

THIS

[@jaimevanberkel8299]

Awesome!, I think that cozy glow and starburst would be good foils as well. A pony who wishes he could use magic and a unicorn who prefer not to use her magic it would be a interesting dynamic

[@teojoon]

i was thinking this too omg

[@Pandie2828]

That's exactly what I was thinking! I like the idea of slow burn arc of subconscious resentment. It wouldn't take up the whole show but it would be an important part of their development. A culmination moment I picture is them trying to solve a problem and Starburst goes through his spell book for the perfect spell and starts trying to coach Cozy glow to do it. And she kinda flippantly brushes him off saying something like "or I could just grab •insert tool•" So he snaps at her.

TRANS SYMBOLISM FOR THE WIIINNNNN!!!!!

[@aku2136]

I feel like when people do "next gen designs" they always stray far from the original building blocks (like the main 6 being the colors of the rainbow, being some kind of archetype, ...) but this lineup did it perfectly- also I am a big Trixie fan so I ADORE her being the main character yss pleaseeee

[@alcorian8269]

i agree with the comments linking starburst and transness, and honestly that was my first thought, but i actually relate to him a lot more on the disability front! i completely relate to having a passion, a dream, something you love and just KNOW you're supposed to be doing, that you cannot pursue because your body is not the way it "should" be. at least to do this specific thing. i was a circus performer until i was about 12 or 13, which was when i started showing more serious signs of my genetically inherited disability (ehlers-danlos syndrome). nowadays, i desperately want to perform again, but i know i can't just go back to doing what i did before, because i will destroy my already-deteriorating body. i also have a passion for clinical psychology and have wanted to become a therapist for about half my life now. but im currently dropping out of college after 2 years because of a combination of physical disability (EDS) and mental disabilities (autism and a learning disorder). on two fronts right now, i have to face the idea that i am (at least right now) physically incapable of doing the two things i think could really be my CALLING in life. i think starburst is in the same position with his lack of a horn. its a really difficult situation, and one a LOT of disabled people (kids included) go through. i think starburst's story could be a great thing for disabled kids and teens to see. no matter how you do it, as long as he gets some sort of happy ending that doesnt involve magically getting a horn, i think it would be comforting for disabled audiences.

[@ScoopedKiwis]

Never even crossed my mind but I completely agree! I don’t have anything physical disability-wise, but I have quite a few mental disorders (namely autism, dyslexia and “specific learning disorder” (using “ bc I have no clue if that’s it’s proper name) that make my dream of being a fossil preparator (which needs a bachelor in a biology or geology science) feel almost like climbing Mt. Everest with only a t-shirt and shorts. Having a character in really any media with a similar struggle would be amazing, especially if they don’t just magically “cure” whatever the problem is. With that said, I really hope that you can find something EDS-friendly that you’re happy doing sometime Al ^^

[@alcorian8269]

@ScoopedKiwis thanks :) its just short term but ive been thinking of looking for a job at a local comic shop, in hopes that an independent business might be more accommodating of my disability. its not my dream, but its something in the meantime. good luck to you in fossil prep. paleontology is a fascinating field. hopefully you can find a route to your dreams :)

[@sadiejane610]

No way. I started aerial arts when i was around 10 and was diagnosed with EDS at 13. I continued to push through until 17 because lyra was the absolute love of my life and the only thing i wanted to do forever. But it became too much for my body and at 18 i had to stop due to constant injury. Its left such a deep hole in me KNOWING that its what im supposed to be doing, and i had known before i even started, but now I can’t anymore because of my body. There was a surprise silk performance at a motorcycle show i went to and i cried. I loved performing more than anything. And to add insult to injury, the studio i trained and taught at for years is now competing internationally and i missed that opportunity by one year. I still live vicariously through the girls i taught who are now using routines i helped them put together in their competitions, but its so bittersweet. Anyway, sorry to dump but i dont think i’ve ever related to an internet comment more in my life and it hit me like a brick

[@alcorian8269]

@sadiejane610 wow! small world. i hear EDS is common amongst former circus kids for some reason. someone from my old troupe is now a physical therapist (i see her 3x a week) and she sees a lot of former circus kids from the troupe. one of her own daughters also has EDS. maybe we're just attracted to it because of our flexibility... which backfires when we start hurting ourselves. anyways, i was a contortionist mainly but i also did lyra and static trap--i really want to get back into trapeze, but with my body how it is rn, i cant

[@sadiejane610]

@ contortion was my second fave but i had to phase out of that early on and focus more on strength for the sake of longevity. I still spend a couple hours a day on flexibility training now that I’ve had to stop just because it makes me feel better about not being in the air anymore, but i cant do most of my favorites anymore. The owner of the studio and our main trainer had a son with EDS, so she understood and worked with me a lot which is probably the only reason i was able to go as long as i did. I have noticed a lot of us circus folk with eds tho! As time passes more and more of our original core troupe is diagnosed, i wish i had more to offer them than commiseration but at least we have a group that understands 😅

[@AceOfStars0]

I love how you recognized what made gen 4 so strong: color palettes, personalities, dreams, talents, etc. and made sure you included it! You also did a really good job of making sure none of them were replicas of gen 4 mane 6 like i think gen 5 did. I think gen 5 tried so hard to copy its success. Your version feels like another natural generation of g4. This group has so much potential for chemistry/beef. Cherry trying to be a big sister to sol who doesn't need it, starburst being perpetually jealous of cozy glow and Trixie (and Trixie reveling in it), cherry pie and wysteria getting into arguments about working hard. I just feel like Trixie doesn't really fit. I don't know if it's how you introduced her last, but I feel like having a main character who has no clue what she wants to do could be REALLY powerful. Her watching the rest accomplish their goals while she still has no clue what she wants to do. Maybe she's one of the oldest and still doesn't have her cutie mark so always wears a cloak to cover it. Her being an earth pony could also help because she can't focus on magic or flying. It could also be a good leeway to becoming the alicorn princess (I am a fan of the main character becoming an alicorn. sue me) I just feel like her sassy demeanor isn't really contrasted by anyone.

[@ninadesenha]

omg I LOVE your ideas sm Trixie being the oldest and doesn't have a cutiemark??? And hiding it with her cloak?? peak. Maybe Sol ends up getting hers before Trixie and she ends up feeling even more insecure ab it...

[@mochi_boop]

i am sooo invested in how the dynamics between Starburst, Cozy Glow, and Trixie would turn out. Trixie being a unicorn who infamously flaunts her magic at every turn and Cozy Glow actively choosing NOT to use her magic - such two extremes that I KNOW Starburst would absolutely struggle with !!! it would be so interesting to see how ideas of envy and even possible resentment towards friends could be tackled here

[@Sleepy.Blobshark]

It'd be so cool at the end of the series if it's an episode where everyone's fulfilled their dreams. Like a little montage type thing with Starburst finishing a class and Sol coming in afterwards since they're a freshman in college then panning towards Wysteria and Cozy Glow working together (like Wysteria having commissioned Cozy's art for the grand opening of her business or something like that) then everyone shows up to either Cherry/Trixie's first super big performance!

6:56 honestly that’s fine! I think personally i would’ve absolutely gone bonkers bananas if one of the characters was secretly a changeling or something, but it makes total sense why keeping the main characters ponies would match g4’s essence more. I think if I were to make a mane 6, it would probably look something more like a mix of the student six and some ponies (maybe a dragon, a kirin, and a changeling+ 3 more ponies or something similar?) just because i love the worldbuilding around the different species they added :>

[@EclipseWaters]

I haven't even finished the video, I'm at 8:46, and I'm just so happy that Starburst sounds like a trans allegory because Sunburst always reads like a he/they transmasc (I may have been projecting a bit...), but I also just like it because I think about this being an actual kid show, and I can't tell you how much I would appreciate a trans allegory like that that I could've related to as a kid. EDIT: I. Love. This. Also, i love the idea of a dragon pet for StarBurst, but i really would like the idea of Starburst cracking a magical code and making POTIONS....Idk i think thatd be SO cool

[@leroidesalphas1041]

My personal idea is "My little pony : the song of heart" Because your generation talk about feelings, destiny, hopes of each poney and realise your dream and I think that song and heart can be super names for your story !

[@alexcreates8405]

I love these designs!! I really like Starbust, and his story idea you had for him! Now I'm curious how he got his cutie mark, cause if he can't do the magic how'd he do it to get his mark? Did he correct a spell or something? A possible name for his familiar could be something funnily formal (Augustus Thaddeus III as a more human example) or maybe something his sister named and you can clearly tell? The second option could show how it doesn't really listen to him, refusing any of the names he gives but accepting a possibly dumb sounding one from his sister! Also (and I know this was probably unintentional-) he's set up to be a body dismorphia/disphoria story, feeling he's in the wrong one in all, and I thought that was interesting! I think all of them have amazing potential, and their stories could be really really good!

[@P4tton._.Fr0g]

This is so awesome!!! Snatching old ponies to make them relevent is actually a great idea considering that My Little Pony has always done it--- I'm just here loving every single one of your videos over there! Tho, maybe i'm just blind af but the sketch that you did for Trixie looks alot like her special ability is knitting--- Ohh and yess, the tradition : self insert (love the design fkkkffjz) And ohhh the lore that you prepared for this gen 6 is so interesting! I just wish we had something like that as a follow up 😭

[@shineyydesigns7696]

I love how even with small descriptions, you can immediately tell how these characters would have such great chemistry together. Starburst and Trixie, Cozy Glow and Trixie, Cherry Pie and Sol, Wysteria and Cozy Glow, Trxie and Wysteria They all have such amazing potential for character work and I want all of it

[@eliteunicorns]

3:56 They don't! The g4 mane six share colors across their designs and to me...they always felt distinct to each other. The g5 mane six somehow mesh together in my mind. They don't have the same color-coded characters like g4 did.

[@andreahoffbeck9391]

I love how you kept it so recognizable and yet every design was their complete own, and looks like a new style of ponies. You did this by giving them patterns and hairstyles that were interesting and unique from gen 4! And I love the story you’re brewing. It’s is own thing and yet not far from what makes mlp, mlp.

[@cherryblossomparfait6333]

I love the personalities and struggles of Cherry Pie and Starbrust. 🍒💫 Maybe "My Little Pony: Mark Your Destiny" will fit nice

[@SkellSeer]

I love these design so much, you did such a great job designing them! Visually, my favorite is Cherry Pie. You're completely right that those colors just look so pretty together. I also really like Wysteria's color scheme; it's so interesting and unique! During your last redesign where you made Cozy Glo, she was my favorite, although my one critique here is that her having only cool tones of indigo makes her feel a _little_ too cold to be "cozy". As you were designing her in the video I kept imagining you adding tiny yellow spots/speckles somewhere (such as on her coat, although I think tiny hair pieces/clips would work even better. There's also metal cuffs/rings that are put on braids and dreads) that would remind me of fairylights (or stars) and bring just that slight needed feeling of coziness to her design. I absolutely love that you've made Starburst an earthpony with an affinity for magic. I don't think his character writing would benefit by gaining a horn/magic later in the series, but I _do_ think it could be fun if he attained a magical artifact that enables him to "perform" some kind of magic. Either he attains it _after_ he's accepted he doesn't need to be able to do magic (so it's just a bonus), or it's used in the plot of a singular episode where he becomes obsessed with it and slowly continues to lock himself in his room; becoming completely reliant on it and going kinda crazy about it until his friends destroy it for his won good. Or Starburst himself destroys it when it turns evil and starts destroying things. he doesn't want to destroy it because he finally got a taste of performing magic, but eventually comes to terms that it needs to be done. It's through this episode that he finally accepts that he doesn't need to be able to perform magic to do the things he wants to do. Sol having small wings made me so happy that you kept that in her design. I think she could be an easy example of writing disabled ponies (which I think the only one we have gotten was Tempest from the MLP movie). In her case not being able to fly. And it wouldn't even be "difficult" to do since most ponies can't fly. The only thing to be concerned about is the character writing for her not being able to fly. I know her character has trepidations about being able to fly, so writers would just need to be careful about not going with the "woe is me" personality. I don't know if you intend for her character to one day be able to fly, but I hope she gets to stay earthbound since we have a lack of disabled ponies. I think it would be cool if one day in the show she gets to meet another pegasus (this one has part of their wing missing due to a childhood accident) who can't fly, and they're able to bond over this shared difference while Sol's new friend aids her in seeing that your life can be completely fulfilling despite not being able to fly. Maybe Sol can even have an episode (similar to Starburst's which I just described) where she has functional wings and eventually learns she doesn't need them to fulfill her life. In fact I think all 6 should get episodes (maybe two parters?) where they learn what they want in life/want to be/want to have/ isn't something they need (like with Trixie learning her dreams will take hard work). Kind of like how Shrek in the beginning of his movie wants peace and solitude, but by the end of his film learns that what he needed was friendship, companionship, and love (both platonic and romantic) Anyways sorry for the rant. I really love how creative you are with your art and it really inspires me. I hope my ideas and critiques inspire you! (and I apologize if they sound harsh at all)

[@inkiio]

i don't intend to give sol the ability to fly!! just like scootaloo in friendship is magic her wings will stay small, but she finds other ways to get around!! both of them are supposed to be allegories for different types of disabilities so i have no intention of altering either of them physically! they'll learn that there are other ways for them to do the things they love! :3

Different kinds of real life animal patterns (primarily horses, but cats, deer, dogs could also work) could be a great source of inspiration. EDIT: Trixie but her coat pattern is inspired by a marsh deer. I have thoughts but I'll leave it at that.

[@wompadillœ]

Aaa they look so good, I love them! They all look awesome. My favorite design is Cherry Pie, I adore her color scheme and beautiful pigtail braids!! Wysteria is a close second- her mane?? Gorgeous. With that big bow on top??? Aaaaa 🤌 She is serving

[@vycanismelodis]

i love these. honestly i'd read the heck out of a fic with these ponies

[@lett3rartist163]

I’d love to see this concept and story unfold as a series! Your designs are amazing. I think there is so much potential for this, maybe a smaller conflict with Cozy glow who doesn’t use magic and Starburst who can’t but wants to, I love it so much! I think Cozy glow and Cherry Pie have to be my favourite characters here :D

[@maybelaterbro5426]

stop bc besides the designs all being super adorable and creative this made me wanna go into pony town n make my own mane six!!

[@mangojuiceeee]

my little pony: understanding life as an adult Im just joking! I literally love this idea of yours! I’d love to see more about it. I think my favorite is starburst, his little dragon friend is so cute!

[@swaatikgmez]

wysteria might be my most absolute favourite design and it's UTTER COMPLETE HEARTBREAK that she isn't real 💔

[@elfblossomcottage]

@@rabbitjaws YOU CANT STOP ME PARTNER YEEHAW

[@rainiestday]

i love the video, wysteria's design is my favorite. the background music from kirby's return to dream land and kirby's epic yarn made me so happy and nostalgic

[@ariamelody5560]

I need three seasons and a movie. I need this injected into my vains

[@DangerNoodleReads]

I would buy the whole world for a comic series with these characters on GOD

[@loveyourself-Hannah]

1:12 judging by the example of G5 toys shown...maybe thats a good thing

[@bassyxgrelle8659]

Thank you for uploading these videos! I love listening to you ramble on about your silly little guys as I draw my own silly little guys

[@cakey.20]

getting a notification at 12:54 am is crazy. anyway YIPPEE ^__^

[@osoba7595]

For me it was 6:54 on Sunday

[@MewMewDerez]

MLP: Path of Promise has nice double-meaning, both for the promise they think their cutie mark gives them, and for the promise of potential they all actually have. PS: I love all of them and I want more sibling details, especially for our mane 6 duo. I love that Cherry Pie is a down-to-earth Pegasus!! I love how you play with stereotype and trope subversion in your character building!

[@star__shiine_]

Very cute video, would love to see more of these concepts like how they got their cutiemarks? Is it another Gen 4 situation of it being connected events? Also Throwing my hat in to say, My Little Pony: Breaking Fates since its about them trying to find out how to make their dreams come true when the odds are stacked against them. thats enough of me yapping, Love your vids, can't wait to see more!

[@prismspheres]

name suggestion: paint your purpose also all these designs are so cute! i especially love the concept of an earth pony whose destiny is magic (with a dragon pal who will not listen!)

[@Green_izu]

I just woke up and this made me happy

[@FoamyDuck]

If this was a series I would 100% watch it😂❤

[@Sandragonet]

2 MINS AGO?! MY FAV YTBER?! MLP REDESIGNS (MY FAV)?!!!!! WTHHHH

[@FreyrDoors]

Completely new to your channel and I have to say I LOVE your style so far!! Definitely subscribing and I hope you continue to develop on these characters they are really well thought out!

[@zzurlocaldori_dayszz]

My Little Pony: Live Your Dream

[@emilyd8737]

Goodness this would be such a fire webtoon

[@ElaineBerchie]

My Little Pony: Embrace the Magic

[@STARASTEROID]

If a part two is made I think it would be amazing if we got more lore on the characters and their backgrounds, and maybe even more on how the characters interact with each other! I love the character designs and I’m excited to see what’s next!

[@shuizaffre]

Oh maybe a title could be, My Little Pony: Mark Your Destiny!

[@Alpha_Moon-iv7ml]

I need world building for this!!! Like do they have a Princess? Prince? King or Queen? President? What’s the design! Would it be sun and moon? Enjoy this little thing as a possible inspiration!

[@Cally_bbykid]

Oh I love them I agree with ppl who said Cozy and Starburst would be a good foul And for names I'm thinking My Little Pony: City of dreams

[@sick_0nick402]

i love them SO MUCH OMG please make a part 2 i'd love to hear more about these guys!! starburst my beloved...disability allegory...

[@l0stp0int]

My Little Pony: Destinies You Change idk 😭

[@lemonwhipp]

God they should’ve hired you for storyboard writing because I am hooked I wish this was the direction they went in! Especially considering the age of the MLP:FiM audience now I think that the key points in the storyline are so good

[@saachii_here]

honestly since i have way too much free time, i avtually WILL count how many times you say generation- yeah, im going to regret this.. 1. 0:01 2. 0:20 3. 0:30 4. 0:31 5. 0:34 6. 0:48 7. 0:53 8. 0:57 9. 1:00 Quick note, 9 times in a minute??? 💀💀💀 And I might have missed some too- 10. 1:02 11. 1:06 12. 1:15 13. 1:19 14. 1:21 15. 1:26 16. 1:43 17. 2:17 18. 2:39 19. 2:43 20. 2:52 21. 3:22 22. 3:53 23. 4:10 24. 4:27 25. 4:34 26. 5:30 27. 7:22 28. 7:23 29. 7:27 30. 9:14 31. 9:21 32. 9:22 33. 9:39 34. 11:28 Note: I almost missed this one- I'm getting to the point I can't think of generation as a word 💀 Also at the same timestamp, in the text it says gen? I won't count it but just mentioning 35. 12:03 It's the word gen, so I'm counting it? 36. 12:07 37. 12:40 *FINAL COUNT* Its 37 in total! Do I regret this? Absolutely, I am exhausted right now. This was a great video tho! I love your art style and each of the ponies!

[@KikiCatMeow]

Starburst’s concept is so cool. I’m not a huge mlp fan so I don’t know much about the pony types, but the idea of a character who’s absolutely obsessed with magic and has all these spells memorized better than anyone else, yet is physically unable to actually utilize any of it despite desperately wanting to is peak

[@ScribblesEthe_Star]

8:39 allegory for trans? 🤨

[@2008-wii-remote]

Starburst is so cool I love him so much lmao

[@Nanook32]

4:50 green is not a creative colour

[@Muzzled_Mut]

DHMIS reference brings me joy

[@mewphoria]

DHMIS

[@Pauleonotis]

Mlp: Destined Mark (or Path) ✨ What I would also really like to hear about is how they manage to stay close as a friend group, when all of them have such individual dreams and goals for their life! I absolutely adore the designs and would love a part two! :D

[@aaasister1099OG]

14:00 you should’ve named her cosy gloom ( cause you said she is gloomy

[@CoatHqnger]

I LOVEEEE TRIXIE AND THE REST OF THSE ARE SOOO COOL. i WISH this was FOR REAL. PLEASdshjkdhjkf i think my least favorite design is wysteria, the teal and purple is just not doing it for me. I love her archetype though, pacifica is such a great character to draw from!! if the other characters werent so beautiful in their color choices i dont think i wouldve even thought she looked any bit out of place- cozy glow DOES look a lot like twilight! not entirely a bad thing but it really does push the braincells there for me. When i was watching the design my brain went... blue coat wouldve been nice!! ofc then we got to trixie and I LOVE TRIXIE!! if it were me idk what other palette to choose; the one you chose is by far my favorite, but for some reason its just feels more familiar compared to all the other repurposed characters ;w; favs are def sol and trixie!! i love that the designs you DID repurpose are both of more minor characters and also having such a unique spin!! sol/starburst being siblings is interesting because theyre so different, but i think that cherry pie and starburst are a older sibling duo! i could def see them becoming best friends and working well with each other. I think cozy glow has the hardest time entering the others dynamics, since shes early twilight personality -- no parties, socializing, ect. probably gets excited for other people to talk about art. starburst and cozy glow being foils of eachother is awesome; but there arent a lot of similarities for her to relate to the other members, nor a big driving force like gen4 had. I think her and trixie's dynamic would def be one of my faves though, with a introvert - extrovert dynamic. Them being friends feels right! overall, i love these a lot C:

[@randompotato6474]

Hey babe why’s this going up at like 10pm ToT

[@almondespair]

“my little pony: defying destiny” something about going against what your destiny may be but when saying it out loud it sounds like defining, mix of going against and finding their “destiny” something like that 😭

[@TheDarkArtistYT]

My little pony: we can do it, together

[@2nouli]

Please I need to see more ponies drawn in your style, the hoof fluffs are just too cute!!

[@MrThaiTuber]

This is so fun, and very great designs! This kind of content, completely original generations, is kind of rare in the MLP fandom, I always love finding more of them!

[@LongLiveChocolate]

i was never really into mlp but i just watched this whole video and thoroughly enjoyed it wth lmao

[@Ast3rDrawsNstuff7314two]

Ooo! This is such an intresting concept! Great art and ideas Inkio!

[@Addy-xk2jc]
