That sounds like a good idea for a fanfic…

@SpectrumGirl  
Another magical skirmish leaves the girls stranded in a swamp. They try to find a way out only to stumble into magic-infused quicksand. As the mud swallows them up, their bodies disintegrate… and their souls become one with the mud that they perished in. They emerge as beings made of mud, and together, they must find a way to restore their original bodies before they’re forever cursed as mud monsters.

But it would be even better if they just remained as they were originally…except being mud monsters…that can make others mud monsters, too…

@SpectrumGirl  
It would work too. If they only have to scare the CMC or the version of the B-species Students, then mud monsters would be basic enough to work. They don’t have to go full rainbow-cookie-zombie.  
It’s a dark and story night and they’re reading creepy magic books. “We summoned a monster from below the earth!” And Cozy sees through the three EQGs in a trenchcoat joke and plays her role for the students.

@Background Pony #D0D2  
Now that would be a fun episode: having the Mane 7 become mud monsters…

@ScriptKitty  
That’s the spirit. Become one of us.

@Background Pony #D755  
It’s NOT funny.

@Background Pony #D755  
Based on what?

@ScriptKitty  
What the fuck

@ScriptKitty  
Based

I’d never believed you if you told me that there existed an arrangement of pixels capable leading me to the harrowing discovery of a previouly unknown to me set of emotions, then amplifying these beautiful previously alien to me emotions by several untold orders of magnitude, so much so that all other senses in my body now pale in comparison to the blaring 2000 decibel spiritual message this image speaks to me. You could force a gallon of superheated fluoroantimonic acid up my ass and into my lower intestinal tract and I wouldn’t even flinch as the sensation of such an event would hardly even register in my mind. In fact, I think you could set me on fire and I would never realize what’s happening because my body is too busy exploring the emotional trip this image sent me through. I am extremely loyal to my family and merely continue living only to support those I love, but after seeing this image I’m left holding a renewed will to live and believe I have found a new calling in life, I realize now I don’t care about anyone or anything other than this, so tonight I will be running away from home to start a new life in the woods centered around the ideology this picture inspires in me. My wife, my kids, my dog, and my cat will just have to learn to fend for themselves as of today.
 
Update: I’m rolling around in mud as I type this now. The vestiges of my past life are now a blure as I abandon my reliance on technology and begin to embrace nothing but mud.

I hope this means you’re going to do some drawings again. I miss them.
