You may have seen this video. YouTube recommended the daylights out of it before I finally watched the darn thing, so I assume it was big for awhile.

I’m not sure what’s stranger: that the artist’s OC spent too long in the dryer, that she’s in a lesbian relationship with Luna (yes, I know SOME of the characters, though admittedly I don’t know if Luna was ever depicted as gay), that it looks so close to the art style of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic that not hiring her is a mistake, that she dances on Rainbow Dash at one point (I remember watching a few other videos and this OC is a few apples shy of an orchard)…or that Dan from Dan Vs, a totally unrelated show I barely know, makes a cameo and prepares to introduce Pinkie Pie to his happy little bullets and yet the bit somehow works despite keeping Dan in his show’s art style and the other characters in theirs. As for the song, you want to see the original?
That’s Andrew Huang, and in this follow-up made six years later he goes over what minor change led to this silly little ditty and the impact it had on his life.

It’s amazing what connects with an audience. That’s why you really can’t create something to be popular. Make something good and it will find an audience. No demographic chart or marketing gimmick can make up for that. It’s also fascinating how a small change makes a huge difference. You can let that get out of hand and worry yourself to death as a creator but that may be another reason the devil is in the details. A minor change can make something good into something amazing.
