This is one third of a three-part prompt submission! You can find the two of them together here, and Cherry by herself here.
Y'ALL the challenge for the Spookoween "cosplay" prompt was almost-literally "autism" š
ok well TECHNICALLY it was "fave media" BUT AS SOMEONE WITH AUTISM. the prompt TO ME was "special interest"
since I have Horse Autismā¢ and I am very autistic about my OCs, I made them cosplay each other! I swapped Pinkie Pie's Grand Galloping Gala dress with Cherry's decora fit~ āØ
The Spectacular Spookoween is a discord server that's kinda like Inktober but with friends! you can join here

gifClosed.Closed. <span style="padding-left: 25px;">The sign seemed to mock me as I stood there, trying to see if there was something I missed. This place couldnāt be closed. This couldnāt be real. I read over it one more time. <span style="padding-left: 25px;">āDue to the lack of use, this building is CLOSED INDEFINITELY, or until further notice.ā <span style="padding-left: 25px;">A few more times it repeated itself in my head until I realized the horrifying truth of the situation. This was really happening. My one freedom from reality was taken from me. The library was gone. <span style="padding-left: 25px;">Peering into the lobby through the glass double doors, I saw the books sitting there, just beyond my reach. The shelves were as full as always, hundreds of thousands of novels, millions of pages of knowledge and mystery, excitement and freedom, calm and romance. <span style="padding-left: 25px;">Closed. <span style="padding-left: 25px;">Gone. <span style="padding-left: 25px;">Just too far away. <span style="padding-left: 25px;">Everything started to sink in. I had always liked how quiet it was in there, perfect for diving into a fantasy realm. I guess I never thought about how I was their only patron. I never thought about the impact that had, and now it was all gone. The damage was done. Thinking back on it, I donāt think Iāve ever even seen cars in the parking lot, save for mine and the librarianās. <span style="padding-left: 25px;">I took a step back to take it all in. The doors, showing me my haven yet keeping me away from it. The sign which, despite my prayers, hadnāt changed. The brown brick walls guarding the booksā home. <span style="padding-left: 25px;">I tilted my head up to look at the cloudless blue sky, and I swore I could see flames. Invisible tendrils of fire licked the heavens, growing bigger and stronger with every second. The inferno, burning with ignorance, enveloped the unnaturally silent building. My face grew hotter and hotter at the sight of them until, finally, I couldnāt bear to look at it any longer. <span style="padding-left: 25px;">My head fell and my whole body visibly drooped, like a wilting flower. My shoulders shook as I wept. At some point I noticed that I wasnāt even standing any more, feeling the hard pavement under my knees. I donāt know how long I sat there, but when I finally stopped, the sun had fallen low in the sky. I realized that I should probably go home, my parents wouldāve been waiting for me. At my car I paused, looking back at the tragedy. The sky was darker, and the cooler lighting made it seem like a burnt up lump of coal. I thought of the future, the ramifications this would have. <span style="padding-left: 25px;">You donāt need to burn books to destroy a culture. You just need to get people to stop reading them.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span>trophySimilar ArtworksSee Morearrow_outward
