@Meanlucario  
really? i don’t, and actually, several people over the years have assumed i was female when i’m not. i still get where you’re coming from, just doesn’t really play a role in my life.

@ArterialBlack716  
Most of us assume that everyone we meet online is male.

@Meanlucario  
that’s what someone on here said, and a glance at their DA shows that’s apparently correct:
 
Digital Art / Hobbyist  
Core Member  
Stainless Key  
Female/United Kingdom
 
i don’t know why so many [including me] assumed she was male, lol

@ArterialBlack716  
Dsana is a woman?

man, dSana is an awesome artist. if i had better time management skills more free time i’d check out her comics as well, but for the time being, i LOVE her standalone artwork :D

@Mr grump  
I think they might have a problem.

Those tags were removed by a mod for a reason Mr Background pony.

This is so beautiful

Hey, mods, think you can add the description for this image? Here’s the text from the source:
 
I strained my back couple of days ago and all my projects were pretty much put on hold. But I’m better now! And since I’ve received many requests for this…here you go, friendship hugs! Yay. Inspired by a scene from a wonderful story “Triggered” by Summer Dancer.
 
If you like Friendship Castle shenanigans, check these tumblrs, they are awesome: Adorkable Twilight & Friends and GlimGlam & Pals
 
Like what I do? You can always buy me a coffee or check my commission info!

@Meanlucario  
Yes, the story is just friendshipping, but I didn’t want to give that away. And Stainless Key/dSana is a woman, just so you don’t have to put the little question mark in the future. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment.

@Background Pony #B907  
That made absolutely no sense

@Background Pony #2709  
At LEAST IT ISN’T TRIXIE

To clarify, I don’t ship Spike - at all. I did one light Sparity pic and decided it’s not for me. I see Twilight, Spike and Starlight as a weird friends/family thing. But I don’t remove tags and rarely argue about interpretations.

He(?) say that it’s inspired by it, and says that it’s just friendshipping.

@Background Pony #FC54  
I’ve seen this before

@Background Pony #7515  
In the story this is based on, Starlight notices Sunburst and Twilight getting closer and closer through the day. Spike comes to talk to her about it but she doesn’t want to deal with it. She sits up into the night as it rains…
 
… and listens as Sunbursts hooves go down the hall to Twilight’s bedroom.

@Spinny  
Why not both?

Holy crap this is not a shipping picture stop adding shipping tags!

@SeraphimDawn
 
Eh. Twilight and Spike takes priority for me.

I would like to see a brother sister type of relationship between these two.

Could both Starlight & Spike hate storms, thus both are cuddled up together until it moves on?

Damn, this is adorable.

@Swashbucklist  
Done. If anything, the picture of Sunburst would qualify this for Starlight/Sunburst tags.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t a ship. Those tags should probably be removed.

Best. Ship. EVER!
