I Dream of Twilight modblog

albuminflask:

(In this post, “Twixies” refers to the Twixie Genies run by NavitasErusSirus, “IDoTS” stands for the I Dream of Twilight Sparkle blog, and “Albumin” is my Albumin Flask.)

The three names (and bottles) mentioned in the title are what I call the Genie Gang, a reference to the Gang of Four that…

That’s be interesting. Though I hope you’re not meaning to drag us into a story arc together this soon or anything. As we’re kinda busy with our own plans for our own blogs for a little while. Next time I see Navitas though I’ll tell him about this though. And if it’s just a fun one-off thing then we can see what we can do.

I also got your message to me about putting our characters into a single image. So it sounds like it’s pointing towards a one-off thing. Which again, we can see what we can do about it.

Oh, if you have a Steam or a Skype account we can IM talk instantly as to make this easier if you’d like. Both me and Navitas have accounts on both. ^^

(Formal) Declaration of War on the Twixie Genies

albuminflask:

I have recently saw the Twixies’ latest works - the mane six in a lamp - made for a friend of mine, Genie Twilight. This is indisputably an attempt to shut me out of the scene. Therefore, I declare war on these two magical ponies.

Wait what? That’s no reason to declare anything. The genie costumes were mainly based on something I did earlier in Genie Twilight where Twilight did a Genie Simulation. And it’s just for fun not to mention it was just a nice thing he did for me as a gift, if you fully intended to have all the Mane 6 as Genies in your blog, this doesn’t mean anything towards that. (It’s a one-off kind of thing anyay). Navitas/Twixie Genies’ mod is also one of my friends.

Your genies are vastly different anyway, don’t think I or Navitas are trying to shut you out. We both in fact are very much supportive of your blog and wish it (no pun intended) success.

Earlier today someone on Derpibooru took yesterday’s picture, edited out Twilight’s wings, and posted it, all without my permission. The situation’s been taken care of, and the picture’s been deleted, but I wanted it to be clear that while I respect whatever opinion you have on alicorn Twilight, I do not appreciate my art being edited in that way. It doesn’t matter if there’s no point in the wings being there, or if they’re barely visible; if I draw her wings in, it’s because I want them there. I do what I can to please both sides of the whole alicorn thing- I draw a good amount of wingless Twilights and I’ve agreed to tag Twilicorn pictures- so I hope not having my art edited isn’t too much to ask for! (Oh, and please don’t think you have to argue about Derpibooru and its users because of this post. I understand how they can be, but the last thing I want to do is cause fights.)

tl;dr- Please don’t take away Twilight’s wings. It’s rude. What if she wanted to fly to Rainbow Dash’s house today? Now she can’t. Super rude. They were going to have snacks and everything.

This is why I kinda allowed Genie Twilight to be able to put on and off her wings. As a sort of neutrality. I’m one of those that actually liked AliTwi. But for certain asks that relate to it or in the Season 4 episode responses. Genie Twi will have her wings.

Though quite frankly it annoys me that this is an issue at all for some people. But then again I suppose as someone who thought Alicorn Twilight was interesting the moment I heard the rumors even before (Not to mention I loved the S3 Finale) Season 3 started, I may never understand why it’s such a bad thing to many to see Twilight with Wings.

needs-more-pony:

I’m being moderately cagey about who ships with who in my TwiDash canon.

In the end, no matter what I do, I know at least some people will be disappointed. There is literally no way around that, and it’s impossible to please everyone.

I’m pretty open minded about ships, and I generally don’t…

Very well put together thoughts ^^

In my opinion there’s no such thing as a terrible or even a perfect ship between the Mane 6. My thoughts on shipping at least for Ponies is “If you like a ship, just ship it”. There’s ways a relationship between a pair of the Mane 6 can work and there’s way they can’t work. But a perfect pair is boring and unrealistic. The Mane 6 all have personalities that have some sort of contrast and similarity. It’s a big part why we enjoy the show in the first place, we like to see the personalities mesh and clash against eachother occasionally. Putting two of them in a romantic sense just adds more to that.

Some ships are more popular then others, but I think there’s just as many pros and cons you can find in a common ship like AppleDash then you do a less common ship like ApplePie (Applejack X Pinkie that is xP). Shippers have their reasons, which why even when Sam or Serious Dash say TwiDash is a terrible ship and/or doesn’t make sense. Even if it’s mainly a joke, I don’t really think it applies. Because people like Pirate Dash or you, Ambris have your reasons. You can ultimately agree or disagree with a ship, but there’s no such thing as an objectively terrible or perfect pair. It’s all personal opinion.

Mod: I would just like to say that you've done a wonderful job AVOIDING making Genie Twilight a Mary Sue. The idea of an omnipotent Genie, let alone an Alicorn!Genie, seems destined for it, but I've never felt like Genie Twilight is headed that way. Good job :)

Thanks I suppose. Maybe it’s a little worrying for Twilight to have this much power and continue her life as normal. Twilight even in just the show knows quite a bit more then most of the characters. But what will always keep her a well-rounded character is her flaws. Which I hope even with the essentially huge power-up in Magic I haven’t completely forgot.

Though I must say as a side note, I’m come to dislike the Mary Sue term. Since I see too many people call characters they don’t like (Especially female main characters) Mary Sues. And at least in FiM terms, I’ve even come to like the two characters in FiM that are the closest to a Mary Sue: Cadence and Shining Armor (Canterlot Wedding remains one of my favorite episodes, but I’m willing to admit they came out of nowhere).

Also it disgusts me whenever anyone states they think one of the Main 6 are Mary sues. I swear I’ve seen all 6 get called Mary Sues at least once. Especially painful to me is the notion that Twi becoming an Alicorn made her an instant Mary Sue. That’s just bullshit, and just looking for more excuses to dislike the change. >_(\

I’m sure most of you saw Cadance’s 5000 followers celebration, and I thought that was a really cool way to give back to your followers and I want to do the same for my beautiful followers!

SO, reply to this post with “HEY I WANNA BE IN THIS", (or something along those lines) and I will include you in the grand master post. I’m gonna have to require that your character be a pone. Also, if you have a ref or an image that’s bigger than your profile pic, it would really help if you sent that over to my mod blog right here »http://mister-true.tumblr.com/« That would speed up the process so I don’t have to look for one myself >n<

I’m already including some (friends/blogs I really like). I will try to get EVERYONE who wants it. Thank you all so much for following me!

Here’s a question mark so you can reply to this easier?

I’m interesting in being in this. This is Genie Twilight ^^

How long does it take to make a typical post for I Dream of Twilight?

It depends. Short one-frame answers can take less than an hour. But stuff like animations or projects such as the Origin Story, the Genie simulation remake I’m making right now take many hours or even days.
