Mlp Stygian - Blog Posts

Cries in no computer access

I mean at least it means I've gotten a lot more frequent with Watercolor use, and frankly I enjoy it a lot so yea

We live we love we laugh

Multi-shipping is my superpower

Big o'l eyes

Look at him, poor stygian barely eats the way he's shaped like a stick, give him a healthy meal he's starving. How can you say no to those eyes?

I did the funny trend

I saw it too much I had to do it.

Rockhoof x Stygian forever

Collide 🌔

Stygian sketches (Ft. Somnambula)! Thanks for all the love on my last post💙💙💙

My Tumblr folks don’t know this but Stygian is my absolute comfort character (embarrassing) and I’ve had him and also the Pillars on my 2018, but haven’t really drawn them out or anything till a few years back. I would like to share like ALL of my headcanons for Styg here, but that’s for another time. (Let’s test out my ask button cough)

I LOVE THESE TWO

I read Legends Of Magic recently and aside from me writing a 165 messages long essay in my boyfriend's dms I could not stop thinking about these two. Their dynamic is not only really sweet it's also the type of thing that will get me hyperfixated and wanting to see more of.

THEY DESERVE MORE CONTENT.

Leaving my obsession for possibly homosexual horses aside, I made this piece taking inspiration from this comic panel:

I like to think Rockhoof hasn't toasted marshmallows before, and because of his strength being capable of easily destroying both the stick and marshmallows with the tiniest of force, Stygian is instead helping him with his magic.

And then they kiss afterwards.

"What can be said about him. A gifted young scholar born from humble beginnings, yet he wanted to do more. He could've done more...But now there's nothing more to be said. I am not a hero, I am not a hero..."

Stygian might be my favorite of the Pillars of Equestria and it's always made me sad that he wasn't used more in the show. So I decided to team up with my new friend Orin who's taken the time to make a bunch of amazing Pillar redesigns (same person I made this Starswirl animation rig for as a gift) that i'll be incorporating into my future animation project simply titled the "Tree of Harmony AU" at the moment until I can come up with a better name. The Pillars are very important characters to Harmony's story so I wanna do them justice. Listed below is some context for these sketches provided by my friend Orin and some written bits from myself. This is a Stygian who's been separated from the Pony of Shadows for some time, but is now dealing with the consequences of dark magic. I've had so much fun throwing ideas back and forth for this AU and I can't wait to share more in the near future.

The Pony of Shadows is not so easily purged, even with the combined strength of the past and present Elements of Harmony. A fragment of the shadow lives on in Stygian, inextricably bound to him, but small enough that it can no longer influence him. He has abilities superficially similar to King Sombra's, albeit on a much smaller scale, and definitely needs practice before he can comfortably wield this new strength.

The lingering dark magic corruption from Stygian's time with the shadow is visible on different parts of his body, mainly his eyes when using magic, some discoloration on the inside of his mouth and tongue, and his magic color.

As Stygian exerts better control of the fragment of shadow still attached to him, he eventually gains the ability to "Shadow Walk" or travel between shadows. This temporary form makes him look eerily similar to the Pony of Shadows. Pretty spooky.

Princess Luna ends up becoming Stygian's new mentor to help him gain better control of his magic corruption since she has direct experience with dark magic when she turned into Nightmare Moon.

Stygian's special talent is writing. His autobiography, Me and My Shadow, was an instant hit not just because he's a pony from a time long passed, but because he's a genuine wordsmith.  Stygian redesign by Orin331

(Yippee MORE Sun n’ Shade)

Happy Holidays! Ft. My #1 MLP ship is Sun n’ Shade aka Stygian x Somnambula uwu (Old art)

Anyways I got Sun n’ Shade headcanons, Hearth’s Warming Eve edition…Yo. Sit down.🪑🔫:

I see Somnambula tabling at those Rainbow Falls Hearth’s warming craft fairs. She likes trying new things like crafting or pottery yet gets tired too easily and moves on to the next new “crafty” thing…Probably sells away most of her artisans stuff

The next “new crafty” thing Somn hyper-fixates on next is book binding and she wanted to learn how to make one so she can give a homemade journal to Styg

Stygian…like Spike from that episode…stresses a little on what to give to Somn, he spent the first few hours handcrafting a necklace for her (you know, him and his dexterity points)…Accidentally slept on his work…which resulted in him having glitter and glue all over him damn.

Somn spent the money she got from the fair to spend more on book binding materials…than actually buying an already-made journal that’s probably farrrr more cheaper then all those materials she bought…… :-/

Trixie and Starlight are roadtripping together to the Crystal Empire to pick up Sunburst for spending Hearth’s Warming together,,,in Trixie’s wagon ofc. With that, Sunburst left his roommate, Styg to watch the house while he’s gone. (Oh wait, Sunburst and Stygian are roommates)

Styg came to the point where his love language is probably not gift-giving, but quality time and words of affirmation, he invited Somn to his place, made food from her culture for dinner, plays the piano (not well) for her, and unwillingly gave the failed necklace he worked on to her. Somn kept the necklace anyways.

Not me making my first post abt posting gay ponies on here
