"It's time, Jake. I refuse to hide any longer, and I will live my life openly and without regret. No longer will I pose as a unicorn or pegasus, I am an alicorn, and I don't care who knows it. But make no mistake, my place will always be at your side- wherever you may be."

"Be that in the lost and quiet corners of Equis, or dead centre in the Princesses' damned throne room, I will be there. Their opinions don't matter to me. I will look them all dead in the eye and tell them that I am what I am, and flatly refuse to be a Princess."

"I don't bucking care if I'll be a renegade in their eyes, My loyalty is to you, and you alone."

"Today marks a new beginning for both of us, Jake- and I'd never have made it here without all of your love and support. Let's go to Canterlot, and get the worst out of the way first- what say you, my sexy hunk of a man?"

Hey everyone,

So I had only intended to post two pieces today, yet a little extra free time came up. Thus, one of the longest serving members on my roster finally got another piece done, and it is effectively a redraw of a much earlier piece.

Dear God, I love this base, it is absolutely perfect for depicting Wood Lily- my sole Alicorn OC. I have a full story in the early stages for her, and I'll be making cover art for that one.

In the meantime, I will be hugely reworking her bio in preparation for this novella. For her, things are about to get real interesting.

Thanks for checking out what I've been working on! I hope that you've enjoyed this little diversion, and as always- take care of yourselves, and I'll catch you next time! ^{^}
