there have been many changes in my life since i’ve started watching mlp:fim, and the most obvious way to see this is through the evolution of Heartspring!  
 
somehow, these are technically the same character, changing palettes, hobbies and even from unicorn to earth pony! though now the namesake is a lot more obvious via cutie mark (though still i don’t think it really means anything lol). she’s evolved with me, and i’ve met many people through her and my art! i wouldn’t take it back for the world :)  
happy aniversary, fim!
