Terra:*surprise hugs Ludu* I don't know why but I have this instinctual overwhelming urge to hug you Ludu *as a tear leaks out from Terra indicating a shared similar kind of pain from the past*

A quick sketch response to this ask- thanks @aniderterm3 ! Related to this post.
The Garden of Infinity was created by Queen Natura. All matter of flowering flora filled the garden in what seemed like endless fields and forest, arranged to delight instead of overwhelm the eye. As the War raged on, Princess Harmonia and those who didn’t wish to participate proposed that it would be a neutral ground, safe from sneak attacks and straight on destruction.
So of course, this became a favorite date spot for Ludustella. As a young draconequus just trying out to see what they liked in relationships, Ludustella found the most fun in partners that could help them add more chaos into the love lives of the mortal creatures. That fear that so many get over just confessing their feelings was specially fun for many teasing scenarios.
Still, Ludu wasn’t having as much fun as he hoped when the tiger paw belonging to Phoboira took his orangutan hand.
“Do you know what would make this date perfect?” Phoboira murmered into Ludu’s ear.
“Teenagers who are afraid to confess their feelings that we could mess with?” Ludu replied, hoping that his date wouldn’t say what he knew he would.
“No- if you were female, like last time.”
“I’m male today.”
Ludu wondered if there was a newly made draconequus of arguments following them around. This wasn’t the first time they’d fought over this.
“But you’re so much prettier as a girl!” Phoboira proclaimed defensively.
“What, because I have eyelashes and my wing positions are reversed? Really not much of difference.”
“It’s just better overall when you’re female.”
“You told me you didn’t mind me being genderfluid when we started going out,” Ludu pointed out. “Did you lie?”
“No,” Phoboira huffed. “I just thought eventually you’d settle on one.”
“You thought I’d decide to be one gender? I love my male times, and I love my female times. I don’t want to permanently be either one- although this attitude of yours is making my girl side feel gross.”
“WHY CAN’T YOU JUST STAY A GIRL FOR ME? ISN’T SACRIFICE A PART OF LOVE?” Phoboira screamed.
“LUDUUU!” a sing-songy call interrupted the argument. Megrim, draconequus of whimsy, was currently the size of an elephant- carrying their wife, Princess Harmonia, and Ludu’s sister Cherish along with a picnic basket and blanket. “Are you ready for our family picnic?”
The two alicorns fluttered off as Megrim shrunk down to the size of a leopard. As the alicorns began to lay out their picnic blanket, Megrim leaped into their son’s arms for a hug that was joyfully accepted, Ludu spinning their mother around.
Phoboira grunted, which prompted Harmonia to settle her eyes on the draconequus.
“Phoboira, it’s good to great you in peace,” the princess said while she bowed her head politely. “Are you here to join us?”
“No, Momma. He was just about to leave- forever,” Ludu spat.
“Ludu, try to be a little nicer to your friends-” Harmonia started to say, but Phoboira steamed at the alicorn’s mere presence.
“You see, Ludustella? Alicorns are all control freaks. Fighting is only natural for chaotic beings like us!”
“Control freaks? My family, draconequus and alicorn both, love me for who I am- no matter what gender I am! You’re the one who wants to control me!”
“These Alicorns must be using their love and friendship magic to manipulate you! It’s clear that you won’t see reason until they’re gone!”
Before anyone could move, pure energy burst out the Phoboira’s mouth and blasted at Harmonia. In the last second Megrim leaped in front of the blast, taking it head on. Harmonia was safe, but Megrim dissolved into nothing.
“Mommy!” Ludu and Cherish called out in despair, but the draconequus no longer existed to hear them. Harmonia sobbed at her loss, trying to hug her children, but could only get a hold of Cherish. Ludu was flying away.
Breaking the sanctity of the neutral grounds called down all the alicorns to punish Phoboira. Other draconequi came to his aid, and the war continued. While Harmonia pleaded that no more fighting continue here, in the end the garden became a desert.
When the battle settled, Harmonia and Cherish searched everywhere for Ludustella, but the draconequus could not be found. They could only conclude that Ludustella had gone to their own personal pocket dimension. While this fight finalized some decisions for Harmonia about the War going forward, they never stopped hoping they’d see Ludustella again.

Yesterday was a day writing kidnapped me. Hope you enjoy this story!
When Ludustella disappeared, the Changelings had to face the fact that she was their biggest source of love-and thus their lives were at risk. While a few individuals had managed to integrate into pony society, most Changelings were disheartened to realize that their creator’s actions had made them, at best, disliked by ponies in general.
But Phoboira, the draconequus of Hatred and Fear, had been watching. He was obsessed with Ludustella, and thought helping their creations would bring the Draconequus of Love out of hiding. Or at least, win their favor.
While some Changelings didn’t trust Phoboira and left to look for Ludustella themselves, a large amount of them listened to him. He told the Changelings to continue tricking the ponies, only to force-ably take love from them. After all, how could ponies love something so different from themselves?
The more the Changelings took love that wasn’t mutual, the more it twisted them, never fully filling themselves as their bodies had to take their love for themselves to feed them. Without love, the family units Changelings had in the past crumbled. Instead hives were created with Queens spawning “fully grown” changelings out of cocoons. They needed the numbers fast- draining Equus of love would surely finally satisfy their hunger, right?
🎶What's going on? This can't be happening Don't tell me it's a song It's a song!🎶 Now you are trapped into a musical, you can only answer singing and/or dancing for 10 asks. Gooood luck~🎶
Yay my first magical anon- I think! It’s been years!
I actually have ideas for memes like this one for a while now, so this will give me the perfect excuse to work on them. XD
Only, I know it’ll take me forever to update if I do ten in order, so more non-musical asks will be mixed in.
(If you’re curious as to what other musical asks I have in mind, certain asks have 🎶 next to them in my asks I’d like to get page. If it’s not crossed out it means I haven’t gotten it yet!)
Hey guys! Sorry so long no update. Made a long overdue new icon! It’s a self portrait with my cats. (Kinda uncanny valley but oh well.)
Art will be sporadic as I figure out my life and things.
Hey guys! Just wanted to explain the sudden lack of updates.
Wild Children will probably return… May at the earliest. I want to finish the event I started first. Like I said below, updates will be sporadic in the meantime.
(I might post something special as early as tomorrow though!)
Ludu recreates a family photo from the past… give or take a few millennia and deaths.
(ask box is open if you want to know more)
Human! Caricature
Aaah I can’t draw them sexy enough!!
Anyway, just felt like there are some things about their appearance that are harder to express when I’m imitating MLP’s style, so did a little human anatomy to see if I could better express it this way.
Carey is gender-fluid, and since they’re just an earth pony(?) they can’t shape shift their gender. So they dress androgynously-mostly. (See the little black dress in the upper left? XD)
They have very thick curly hair that’s usually pinned up in a messy bun. They naturally have long eyelashes and a flat chest.
Also not obvious because these sketches are in black and white, but their glasses are rose-tinted .
Can you guess when Carey is feeling male and when Carey is feeling female in these sketches? I don’t know if I’m a good enough artist to draw what I’m picturing well enough, but I hope you’ve enjoyed this!
