I had no idea that it was canon for Discord to have a pit fish named Q (laughs in startrek) and I'm so happy you included this little canon gold nugget into the verse. It's also nice that both parents have their own little companion: Discord and his I'm assuming completely normal and not in any way chaotic fish and Fluttershy with her chaotic neutral grumpy bunny. And as much as losing Shadow must of hurt poor Annie, I'm happy she was able to take the time and heal from it before accepting a new bird into her life. I am curious though as to why you went this route. Why not just have Annie wait until she finds Soot to get a pet? Or why have Shadow in the first place? Is this to impact her character in some way, or was it written out of experience perhaps?
Either way, I really love Soot! You did a fantastic job on her design and the anatomy ( being the birb woman than you are tho im not surprised huehue). The bond she shares with Athena is absolutely precious and I'm such a sucker for pets who are happy to snuggle up with their owner and just be there while their owner does they're thing. Not only is it a testament to the bond and trust between the too, but from personal experience with my newest baby girl Macy. It's the best thing in the world when your pet finds you just to lay down next to you and emit happy noises because they love you aaaaaahhhhh. While we be seeing more of Soot in future pieces? She is a bird, so Ophelia get along with her well (maybe even to well and geeking out over her lol)?
I loved the banter between Soot and Angel XD That Bunny is so bad at accepting new creatures into his life, isn't he? Is it possible that he resents Soot because she's taking Annie's attention away from him? Either way, I love how even as a, like, 65 year old AARP senior the grumpy man still think's he's in charge hehe. Classic Angel
ps how old is Soot? she looks like she might be up in age but could just be me lol
pss are the rest of the cast getting pets too or is it just Annie with her birb and Dawn with her plant?

It was from this little book I had for awhile lol (www.amazon.co.uk/Discord-Ponyv… ) And its explained in the Animal Lover Annie dump (one posted right before this one) that Shadow was a formative experience in Annie's young life - it allowed Fluttershy to really explain the depths of life and death.
Great Grays are one of my favorite owl species, of course. So had to pop one in here! And yes, Soot is going to make more appearances and will be meeting Ophelia at some point in the future.
I love writing grumpy old man bunny I won't lie. And Soot is about 10 during the present time in the Athenaverse (and Annie is 22, finding Soot at 14). And she's not an old lady either! Captive Great Grays can live up to 25 years.
we will be seeing that soon :3 so yes

Oh cool! Honestly that book series was awesome. I still have two of them (The Twilight and Pinkie ones).
Ahh, see, that's what I get for reading your art out of order lol and I shall check that one out next. But with this new knowledge, I'm glad that you did give Annie a new pet after Shadow's passing and that she gave having fluffy companion another chance. <3
I can tell. Oh goody goody! I can't wait to see more of her, espc. w/ bird horse! ^^
Oh okay, gotcha. So Angel here is not only threatening a 'predator', but he's taking on one that's a whole lot younger than him which I find even funnier than if Soot and him where the same age!
