Detective Sunfire here. You're probably wondering where I've been for the past few months. I decided to take a break from detective work for a while to earn my PhD, but now I'm back. (RP blog for my OC Sunfire) Avatar by Harmon, Background by Sarah,Current M!A...

Not gonna lie, this is a solid character design, and I only got two things to change, but…

Lets start from the beginning:

  • The solid white: Doesn’t look bad, but as a general rule of thumb, picking a fully saturated color is always a bad decision(for example, even Rarity isn’t white, shes a light gray). I instead colored her a very, very soft orange/gray, thats almost white, but not quite.
  • The tail: Thats probably cause of the limitations of the Pony Generator, but looks nothing like the mane, so made it look more like the rest.

Other than these two things, this is a very good design! Great job =D

Sahay sat in the (newly built) Ponyville Public Library, reading to pass the time. Equestrian Literature never seemed to…stray from it’s ‘good protagonist always wins’ and ‘the protagonist is never anything less than a paragon of goodness’ tropes.  If they were anything less than completely pure and good-willed, they were never redeemed. The less-than-pure protagonist seemed to suffer, no matter what sort of development they had. There didn’t seem to be a mold-breaking book in any of these fictions, which bored him greatly. Maybe it was because these were all recently published? There was definitely some new-found nationalism in Equestrian literature now, considering their recent victories. 

It had to be misguided though, because the national heroes seem a little less than ‘completely selfless’ or ‘always loyal and right.’

“Why do the bad guys always get the unhappy ending?” Sahay asks aloud.

"They don’t, but I guess it’s because that’s what the average reader would find satisfying,” Sunfire offered, taking a seat next to the zebra.  “I guess it would also be interpreted as karma in action.  As they say, what goes around comes around.”  Sunfire herself tried to be more nuanced in her own fiction writing than simple good and evil, but she was no George R. R. Maretin.

“I think people like a simpler morality in fiction because it’s an escape from the messiness of real life.”
