Everyone’s like “those Germans have a word for everything” but English has a word for tricking someone into watching the music video for Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up.
English has a lot more words created for very specific phenomena! It’s not just rick-rolling. Language is always evolving and it’s super interesting! Here’s a list of hyper-specific/untranslatable words in English.
My expectations weren’t met, they were exceeded.
Amazing!
@lightningchaserarts the list is amazing!
@noseeme uncle you have committed an unforgivable sin how could you
Hey y’all!
Still been kinda absorbed with stuff outside of Tumblr, but I wanted to let you know that I’m still alive and kicking (and a horse!)
But the recent Tumblr drama around the new community guidelines has got me thinking. I’ve seen quite a few people migrate over to Twitter. That seems kind of like a dumb move to me, considering they are in pretty much the same position there as here. At any point, some vague guidelines can be changed and suddenly all your art and web presence are gone.
So I’ve gone ahead and experimentally created a Mastodon account. You can find me at https://equestria.social/@broken_pen, if you want. A lot of people also prefer the main server, which is a lot bigger and less pony-focused. Then again, you can see everything from any server, so it doesn’t matter much beyond what you want your address to be.
I haven’t posted anything there yet, but I want to start moving some of my art and screencaps over there. See how it works out. Maybe some of you guys will follow. I think that’d be cool. I really love the people I’ve met through Tumblr, and I’d love to keep these relationships up. But I feel like this website is making this harder with every day.
So! Maybe see you on the other side!
Wanted to draw Mipha to make up for that terrible joke earlier, but there’s enough “graceful cute” Mipha art out there already so I’d rather draw her lookin’ like she’s gonna actually use that spear of hers~
Part 1
Next (Coming Soon)If you’d like to leave a tip, my Ko-Fi account is here!
(Hopefully the link works this time!)(A/N: Coloring backgrounds is freaking HARD but I’m really happy with how those houses and panel 2 turned out! Also, we have CAMEOS! In panel one you will see Lyric, OC to @iamthewanderingbard (the brown earth pony), and Broken Pen, OC to @broken-pen (the top-hatted unicorn). Thanks for all your support, you guys!
A bit more melancholy this page. Being 11 years and 15 years younger than your two siblings respectively has to be tough, even without one of them having an unusual condition. Of course Castle can’t help breaking the mood, but ya know. Things will get more optimistic next page! Also: dang I wish MY chinchillas were actually that snuggly and comforting. XD

Hey look, it’s a tiny me! Thanks for the cameo, River! (and of course for the super-cute ask blog!)
I’ve been playing a tabletop RPG with some friends. Took a while but I finally finished drawing the entire party. Featuring:
Charging Wind (myself, not a full picture and not the default costume but never mind that), Scaleheart ( @nickname-livestream ), Spiracle ( @discordsparkle ), Darlene ( @broken-pen ), Magnetic North ( @post-cactus ) and Wanderlust ( @chaotic-conundrums, technically a NPC but as much of a party member as the others).
Interested in a commission? Check my chart here.
