Spacedust Art

And I asked for what I got...

A deer dance, invitation to peace

This is my drawing for prompt 1, inspired by the song Bad Bad Things by Andrew Jackson Jihad

So I looked into your eyes and I saw the reflection

I might write this AU as a fanfiction, but here's the gist of it:

Junko harnesses the power of despair similar to the various love magics of the princesses and overthrows them, sending the world into ruin (the tragedy)

Killing games are held and televised to make ponies feel despair and feed her magic

She decides she needs a prince to rule with her. Hajime is unwillingly sacrificed to her by his parents, who see him as a failure because he's nearly an adult (think the age of the mane 6) and still has no mark

An intense dark ritual painfully overloads Hajime with despair magic, making him an alicorn and erasing his memory in the process. Junko renames him Izuru

The events of THH happen except with ponies (a powerful artifact makes it impossible to perform magic in the school)

Makoto also has no mark, despite most seeing his weird luck as a form of magic

Similar to how Junko harnessed the power of despair, Makoto learns hope magic, which earns him his mark and he uses it to end the game and destroy the artifact, but he isn't strong enough to overthrow Junko, who wants him dead

Izuru was inspired by Makoto ending the game and decides to protect him

Makoto is the first pony to not fear Izuru and to show him true kindness. As a result they slowly fall in love

Eventually, Junko attacks Makoto, but Izuru defends him. Makoto, despite being severely injured by Junko, uses his magic to help Izuru finally take her down
