@40kponyguy  
Almost all of these were empty. Except of one which it suppose to load an image but was broken anyway

It was phishing spam, nothing worth discussing.

Akanames hate tongue-twisters :P  

Hello I’m planning a sort of AU with classic horror creatures where they have their own town that is in a way their own land where they have a few things
 
No money because they don’t need it  
(Again my AU my ideas)
 
They are Surrounded by forest and they have a special magic where no pony who would hurt them can enter and there are guards to protect them
 
Because there in a forest they are advance when it comes to preserving nature so they have recycling and still have technology and magic to help them have electricity, clean water and sooner or later things like phones, TVs and computers
 
There is a lot more but I ask one question since this is like there own land even though is a town is it ok that they can still have outside help or can that have a job for certain individuals to investigate new technology bring it home see how it works and make one that is there own?
 
If neither how is new technology on general invented can they use what ever they have to make something new along with the use of magic? Or what should I do?

You might want to rephrase the questions into simpler sentences. Use commas to separate ideas, and take your time re-reading your questions. If your sentence sounds too complicated, then it is too complicated.
 
This is your story, and your lore. The question you ask to readers for ideas shouldn’t be “should characters do X” but rather “what would you like to see HAPPEN to the character? What problems do you want the character to face and solve?”
 
You decide if the forest town have jobs or if outsiders can come in to investigate–because that’s a problem the community will have to face and solve, which means drama, which means STORY. But in order to have drama you need conflict, which means you need to have a precedent or a SETTING.
 
Town have limitless supply of energy and tech and everyone is happy? That is the setting.  
Outsider comes into town and people in town are divided about it? That is the conflict.  
What the townspeople do with the outsiders and themselves and how it concludes? That is the story.
 
So regarding your questions: are you asking us questions to help you establish the setting and lore? If that’s the case then I’ll help you with a vote.
 
I vote for townspeople NOT needing outside help. They are self-sufficient, with a hierarchical society based on lobsters. I also vote for a small party of specialists who ventures forth investigating new stuff.

@tehwatever  
For how I wrote it I wanted to show the situation and well it’s sometimes hard to write on my phone
 
 
As for the last things you said that is what I’m planning they are self relaying but there is no hierarchy most of every one is equal but some have the job of defenders which are police or whatever and guides with are the leaders and the Mayor (leaders from each race) and they all work together as a community
 
Yes I’ve been thinking of using some of them to go out to investigate outside but perhaps they are the only ones with money because they have jobs outside of the forest and in a near by town
 
As for conflict, they have a protective shield but Somme tines it goes down so a creature hunter (a hunter that hunts vampires, wolf ponies etc) might come in but the town’s defence will stop them
 
The town has a set mindset which in my idea will not change (nor do I want too) because they are happy with this mind set which is about family, keeping the husband and wife together and putting children in a high status (not like that special treatment but they are just seen as something wonderful) if there were to be any conflict from the outside it would be any after effects of what happened in the show or how to deal with normal ponies who want to hurt them or help protect them because there is something to do with trust
 
As for lobsters there are lobsters as well as other meats because some of its citizens eat meat (and have cows and sheep that are wild decent and don’t talk so interestingly that have an extent animal with them for meat reasons)

@Mr100dragon100  
Nice. So you got everything’s figured out.
 
The lobster thing was a JOKE btw. It’s from this idea that somehow, we can create a better society by looking at lobster behaviors.

There are a few subtle changes I’ve made to my two main characters. Also, how do they look here? Are they nice?
 

@tehwatever  
Oh ok but eh lobster can be a good meal

Finally allowed to share this preview of my drawing from the TDP fan zine I’ve been working on since January!
 

 
Obviously the full drawing is bigger, but I’m not allowed to share that for a few more months.
 
Only 14(?) more hours left to purchase it, BTW!

 
Plushies of eachother :DD

Giving a shot at helms.
 

 
@tehwatever  
Ooh, looking good! Run Flower, Run!

@DrCool13  
They all look LEGIT! I’m saving this to steal from, for future drawings.  
Great artists steal, they say. Imma be robbing your design.

@tehwatever  
Rob Me? Aw, man, couldn’t you just have said inspire? It sounds so much less cruel. D:
 
They can’t be that good, can they? xD

Who would win? Rain siblings or Sunny siblings?  

 
Everyone on sundays…I think

Just returned to drawing.  
In the meantime, enjoy this vector of my 3 favorite mares.

I am a MegaMan fan. Those things look oddly cute.

@Badumsquish
