I wanna know about the pfp pony!

-1. name and pronouns lol
B. What inspired you to create them?

  1. How do they deal with an itch found in a place they can’t quite reach?

THIS IS THE ONE CHARACTER WITH NOTHING
x) I should've seen this coming

The character in my pfp is my sona, essentially. So, they don't have any kind of story, it's just a vessel for me to express myself. Meaning, name and pronouns are both just mine, or it could have neither. If they had an itch like that, they would rub up against everything like a bear until it stopped :3

The lore is, the bluish-green pony parts are taken from my original sona, Frost Sparks (or Frosting Hooves if you go back far enough) and the black & purple is inspired by / taken from my Minecraft skin. The pfp creature is meant to be some kind of fluid slime-like thingy with 3 big & cute yet slightly unsettling eyes that dresses up as a pony. This is me x)

I honestly don't remember what initially inspired it.. I know I was experimenting with face masks at the time of doodling and recently developed an obsession with unusual eye designs, and it kinda just came from there. That, and a desire to merge my pony & minecraft selves into one as I kinda move away from both into indie dev and a career.

Thanks for asking ^^

I see a lot of people on the left mock claims like this but shit is legit and you're probably caught up in some of it and have been for awhile

[edit 2] Guess I'll address this in the main post since I've seen people posting about it: Bringing up the subject of foreign propaganda attacking the US is not a statement that US propaganda doesn't exist and isn't a serious problem. You're preaching to the choir about the abuses of the US government. Doesn't mean foreign propaganda is a non-issue or imaginary. And talking about foreign propaganda doesn't mean I'm saying the US doesn't have its own purely self-created problems. Please don't hit this conversation with a "So you hate waffles?" That's a whole new sentence. Arguing against things I never said makes you look silly. Don't do that. Thanks.

one of those last few lines was the key to busting myself out of the cycle of propaganda a long time ago

i realized the faceless, nameless fake accounts want me to be miserable, and paranoid, and angry

unfortunately i am, at heart, a contrarian

everyone remembers that in 2020 a ton of people were convinced that Not voting was some sort of advanced leftist praxis but nobody remembers that an investigation like in this post found that all of the "don't vote" posts originated from Russian troll farms
