I suddenly just remembered that in the mlp universe- poison joke is a thing that exists and is SUPER cool 

The way it effects each person so uniquely too

How would Poison Joke effect your character? Pony or otherwise?

Going by the idea that it affects something the pony cares about a lot, Twi’s horn, pinkie’s ability to speak, Rarity’s mane, etc….

Tech: His ears/hearing. Tech relies a lot on it to get around and would end up constantly asking WHAT.

TB: It could throw off a tail hair and he’d think it was the end of the world.

Memu: It would affect his hooves and make him clunsy as hell.

Pel: Giant teeth and lisp.

Physically, Penwright would get blue, acne-like spots all over his face and his telekinesis and tele-tactile sense would be as though he were moving underwater and drunk.

Mentally, he would only be able to think up the silliest, most embarrassingly dumb kind of stories that most ponies would skewer in mocking dramatic readings but are so weird or dumb that they are nevertheless compelling.

The kicker, though, is that Penwright’s output increases tremendously while affected by poison joke. Not merely without inhibition, but compulsively. He knows what he’s writing is dumb seek that even his teenaged self would be embarrassed by, but he cant help himself. He’ll write on the walls if he runs out of paper. This is the only exception to the telekinetic clumsiness described above.

The resulting output is barely salvageable, usually requiring just as much work revising it into something publishable as writing it as such in the first place. Typically, though, he’ll compile the better ones into cheap penny dreadfuls (and they certainly are dreadful) under a pen name. With expected irony, they end up being more popular than most of his serious work.

Penwright may or may not have a dried poison joke flower hidden away in his house for those weekends when he just can’t seem to write anything and has no obligations to leave his house.

For the IncrediAU by @techmomma

Peregrin Wright would joke that his superpower is his ability to be inconspicuous and unnoticeable, but that’s just a result of his quiet personality and natural tendency to keep a low profile wherever he goes. Most are surprised to discover that he is indeed a super, as he doesn’t put on a costume and fight crime like other superheroes. He is, however, a known if often invisible part of the superhero community, a secretive individual known simply as the Demiurge.

Peregrin’s superpower is his ability to call forth just about anything from his imagination through the act of writing it down, putting him in the class of supers with artistic-based powers. What sets him apart from similar heroes is the fact that the things he calls forth are powerful and effective due to his attention to detail, creating devices of such complexity that they function under their own logic, even when the laws of physics and modern technology state that they could not possibly exist, let alone even work. If given a description of an obstacle to overcome, a supervillain to defeat, or a superhero to aid, Peregrin’s creations will prove to be undeniably effective.

There are some drawbacks to his powers, though. Because his creations work due to their strong internal logic, it takes time for Peregrin to actually think up and write them down. This process can take anywhere between a couple hours if he’s especially inspired to a couple weeks for especially complex ideas. He also needs a considerable amount of information about what he’s trying to accomplish, the more the better. Some simple creations can be made from a few hours of research, but if he’s had an opportunity to truly get to know the objective and let that knowledge percolate for a while, then his creations will be amazingly effective. Many an ostentatious and flamboyant supervillain has learned the hard way that being an open book makes them vulnerable to the Demiurge’s weapons and creatures, even if they never reveal their Achilles’ heel. Peregrin has demonstrated an uncanny ability to get inside the heads of people and will craft his creations to target personal and thematic weaknesses, leading many to speculate that he might have some psychic or mind-reading superpowers. Additional, Peregrin’s creations are all temporary, typically losing power or otherwise vanishing at a dramatically appropriate moment. The more information he has to work with and the longer he’s able to work on them, the longer they’ll last. Finally, he simply can’t churn out the same devices or creatures like a (super)human factory: each one is unique, and apparent duplicates are actually improved or otherwise modified versions of previous creations. A weapon, tool, or companion creature created for a long-time friend or to counter an archnemesis will be far more powerful and longer-lasting than one made for an unknown enemy or a rookie hero that just showed up on his doorstep.

Despite the complexity and idiosyncrasies of his creations, Peregrin’s talents are in great demand among the superhero community. While not much of a fighter himself, Peregrin is happy to help in a supporting role and is usually the first stop heroes make for advice and material assistance on daunting tasks, especially ones that allow him time to craft a tailored solution. Of course, this also makes him an attractive target for supervillains hoping to force him into creating tools of destruction for them. But when anonymity fails him, Peregrin has proven several times that he’s not just a helpless writer. The most powerful of his creations were crafted for the superhero he sometimes dreams himself to be.

When not writing his novels or assisting other superheroes, Peregrin is busy working to make his creations more enduring and beneficial for the entire world. His ultimate dream is to make a matter fabricator device and a clean and ultra-efficient generator to power it, thereby ushering in a post-scarcity era.

One of these days I want to show the difference between “public facing Ickle” versus private Ickle. You get peeks of her when she’s around mudpie, but Ickle is NOT a serene, peaceful, calm, gorgeous pony behind closed doors.

For you HEATHENS who are accusing her of being a ho, that is NOT what I meant.

…

…It might be a tiny bit true, but that’s not the POINT.

The point is, she’s angry. She’s bitter. She’s passionate. She’s restless. She’s loud. She’s calculative. She’s afraid. She’s panicked.

My point is, remember that in the blog, Ickle and mudpie react to their audience. They know they’re being watched. Ickle especially acknowledges the audience the most, and as such she shows her best. If I were to make the blog a different narrative style, Ickle would be vastly different.

Penwright fell in love with Ickle’s carefully constructed persona when they first met. The grace and beauty that was more of an angel than a pony. It was hard not to, as angels inspire love or fear and little else.

But there were hints of something else about her, suggesting that there was more to her beyond the radiance that surrounded her. Hopelessly infatuated but ever curious, Penwright was greatly motivated in his yearning for her.

As their relationship slowly grew, he discovered bits and pieces about the mare he loved through the cracks in the facade of her public persona. A great passion inside her, but not just for the arts. A severe, highly judgmental, and sometimes petty sense of how the world ought to be underneath a veneer of serenity, especially towards her younger sister. A silly goofball rivaling that of her sister and even Pinky Pie on occasions. A restlessness yearning for more, but not certain what for. A raw but caged sensual beast of immense sexuality and desire (obviously of great interest to Pen, though he’d never admit it and was hesitant to tease, not knowing if he’d inflame or enrage it). A deep, overwhelming sense of shame at odds with her appearance of inner peace. Fear informing and undermining it all, as though she’d run away at any moment and never come back, vying with a growing core of anger, not a darkly regal and indomitable indignation like Nightmare Moon, but a storm of wrath that threatened destruction to everything it touched for the most minor of offenses, which Penwright feared being the target of its baleful gaze.

And on top of all that, a mare, not a mythic muse, not an angel, struggling to contain all of it and maintain some semblance of order about herself.

This was the mare he loved, with all of the complexities and contradictions that made up her. Elements of her elicited confusion, admiration, pity, lust, and terror, but all together, she was simply mortal in her own way.

Much like him, and after all of the various fragments of his own being voiced their reactions, positive, negative, and indifferent…

…she was still someone he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, no matter what they would face together within and without themselves.

MOD: Random question for all mlp ocs following:

Instead of the usual “which is better, coffee or tea”, I have a different question:

Which is the better hot drink, which is the better cold drink, and which is a better ice cream?

Like for me, I like iced coffee more than iced tea, and I like hot tea more than hot coffee, but I like green tea ice cream WAY more than coffee ice cream.

What would your character say?

Hot tea, iced tea, and while Penwright tried green tea-flavored ice cream once and wasn’t a fan, he’ll eat no other flavor of ice cream for the rest of his life before he eats coffee-flavored ice cream because coffee is nothing but a cup of lies.  Coffee (good coffee) smells heavenly, and Pen can detect the hints of cinnamon and even chocolate in a well-made latte, enough to entice him into a taste, but once it hits his tongue, becomes nothing but never-ending bitterness.  

To the coffee drinkers and fiends of Equestria, Penwright only has this to say: “More for you.  You’re welcome.  I’ll use my own kettle so my tea isn’t tainted.”
