Patreon Post -- Stories From Unseen Art #2
🕑 Added 2023-11-19 23:56:10 +0000 UTCSome of you may have heard of a feature known as [ALT TEXT]. The series of stories that I plan to post are how the use of [ALT TEXT] can bring beautiful imagery to those who have low vision, or are 100% blind. If you have any suggestions for art I should make a story for based upon [ALT TEXT], or the passion an artist showed about their work through their work’s description, please let me know. Once I have their permission, I will make a story, like the one below, to show how my imagination brings color and life to what I, as a result of having no eyesight, was able to see as a result of [ALT TEXT] and other information the artist shared within their post.

Adorably Scary
SHING
FYOO-ZIP
"There you go, Spike," cooed Twilight Sparkle as she helped the purple-colored, baby dragon into his costume. "I can't wait to hear every creature go gaga over how cute you look as a darling Dragonite!"
Twilight clapped her hooves with joy as Spike's roommate, Goldigony, stuck out her tongue and made a gagging sound.
"I'm so glad I decided to dress up as Charizard for Nightmare Night," she remarked with a huff. "Dragons are not supposed to be cute, you know."
"Now, Goldigony," said Princess Celestia in a warm and calming voice. "Any creature can be whatever they want to be on Nightmare Night."
Goldigony looked away from the white-coated, Alicorn princess and sighed out a 'Harrumph' of smoke from her nose.
"Well," the purple-coated Unicorn eagerly stated while gesturing a hoof towards the well-lit and busy street in front of them. "This will be you and Spike's first time going out for Nightmare Night where Princess Celestia and I will be keeping an eye on you from a short distance away. So, if things get too scary, we won't be too far away to give you both warm hugs of encouragement."
Goldigony rolled her eyes at the thought she would need any type of namby-pamby pony affection to get through Nightmare Night without a hand to hold.
"Come on, Spike," she growled while reaching for his hand and pulling him out onto the streets of Canterlot. "We've got candy to hoard."

As the moon bearing the silhouette of Nightmare Moon's face rose into the sky, both costumed dragons were well on track to filling their candy sacks to their maximum capacity.
"Hey, Goldigony," giggled Spike as he waddled alongside his green-colored, dragon friend. "What did that pink Pegasus think you were dressed up as?"
"A bat lizard with wings," she replied with a glaring stare towards her giggling friend as smoke burst from her nose. "And stop laughing because it's not funny!"
Spike did his best to stop laughing, but found it hard after all the comments he and Goldigony got from those ponies who were giving out candy on this Nightmare Night.
"They're not wrong, you know," he said between giggles. "Charizard is not a dragon type Pokemon like Dragonite is."
"It is, too, a dragon!" the agitated, older dragon replied. "It has wings, scales, breathes fire, and roars with pride before going into battle against those Pokemon stupid enough to pick a fight with it!"
Spike could tell he was annoying Goldigony with his remarks, but he was having too much fun on this night of going door-to-door to stock up on candy to let Goldigony's sour mood ruin the wonderful time he was having.
"Didn't those Earth Ponies a few houses back say that you had a cute tummy?" he asked while knowing how Goldigony would react to being reminded of being given such a compliment.
"That's only because my diaper got all bunched up in the front!" she snarled. "And it's not like your diaper is any less soaked than mine is!"
"Well," Spike continued to tease. "My Dragonite costume was made to compliment my diaper butt. Yours, well, is like a diapered version of that mane cut they call a mullet."
Goldigony stopped and stomped her foot upon the ground in protest.
"Dragons don't wear diapers!" she roared. "Only stupid ponies wear diapers!"
Twilight Sparkle and Princess Celestia noticed that a crowd was gathering to see the tantrum that Goldigony had started to throw over how her costume was not seen in the way she had wanted it to be.
"You and I both need diapers, Goldy," replied Spike with a shrug. "It'd make a big mess if we didn't wear our diapers until we finished our potty training back at school."
Goldigony was seething with anger. In order to release her pent up frustration, she angled her face to the sky and let out a mighty 'ROAR' as a giant plume of dragon fire erupted into the night sky that fizzled out in a beautiful flash of sparkly colors.
CLOP-CLOP-CLOP
Goldigony gasped as she became aware of the audience of ponies that had gathered around her and Spike as ponies of all ages cheered over the beautiful presentation she had made with her fire breath.
"Aren't they so cute!" one spectator could be heard saying.
"That lizard bat costume is truly a work of genius!" a distinguished-sounding pony called out.
"They're both so cute!" a high-pitched mare swooned. "Who knew dragons were just so darn adorable!"
Goldigony had started to wildly stomp about as she roared as best as a fledgling dragon could possibly roar. This could have been seen as scary if it was not for the burps of sparkling, colored fire that belched out with each growl she released.
FYOO
SHING
SHWOOP-PLOP
"Alright," giggled Princess Celestia as she used her golden aura of magic to pick up Goldigony and sit her on top of her back. "I think someone is ready for bed."
Spike playfully chuckled as both he and his costume wibbled and wobbled during his journey back to sit himself upon Twilight Sparkle's back.
"I'm ready," he yawned while leaning himself into the purple-coated Unicorn's neck. "Best night ever."
Goldigony wanted to protest being treated like a hatchling in front of so many ponies, but the warmth of Celestia's back coupled with the blanket-like feel of her Alicorn wings quickly put the upset dragoness into a calm and restful state.
"Next year," she yawned while curling herself into Celestia's soft fur. "I'll show them how not cute dragons are."
The crowd parted while giving their compliments to Princess Celestia and her pupil for having helped to make their Nightmare Night one of the best they ever got to experience within the capitol city of Equestria.
