cleaning up some doodles, i have a bad habit of doodling on loose bits of paper instead of in my sketchbook. These are all ideas that I mean to get to later, but I often misplace them or forget them. I'm compiling a few of them into some big rescued-idea piles. Here's one.

1.-2) Concept art for Chrysalis and her daughter, Iridescence. Their human forms are simply an illusion wrapped around their true bodies like a protective shell. If they become love-starved, their human form begins to splinter and crack, revealing more and more of their insect exoskeleton (typically starting at the fingertips), until they've lost their humanity. They're both veeeery rarely seen in their true form. Irie doesn't drop her illusion unless absolutely necessary (eg. desire to feed overrides her free will), or sometimes, just sometimes.....in the private presence of very close friends and family. Chrysalis keeps human because she knows it makes the citizens less trusting of her otherwise, but she has no qualms about shape-shifting into her seven-foot-tall insectoid form to intimidate some uppity aristocrats. As said by one of my delightful patrons- Celestia, upon witnessing Chryssie's true form: Ah yes, wife material.

3.) As mentioned before, Huck and Belle are a trashy obnoxious couple made of two trashy obnoxious people. They've both probably been waiting their entire lives for a target to shamelessly dote on, so they're not gonna let things like common decency get in the way of public butt-grabbin and tonsil hockey. Especially in front of Magnolia. But underneath their shamelessness is an honest, curiously wholesome sort of affection.....who cares if other ponies cringe at their nose nuzzling and flower bouquets? Neither of them has ever been in love before- if fact, each spent most of their lives doubting whether love was ever even in the cards for them- so now that they've finally found somepony that makes them happy, it's a thing to be celebrated, muzzle nuzzles and all.

4.) I got some questions about how Huck feels about Belle being both non-binary and intersex, considering he held some close-minded views in his youth. Well, to put it simply, Huck mostly felt rattled at Belle's unapologetic approach to self-expression and gender non-conformity. It gives him a lot to think about and he's high key flustered at Belle's confidence. Later on in the relationship, Belle provides a safe place for Huck to explore aspects of himself that he probably wouldn't have touched on otherwise. Basically Huck is a very happy boi rn
