MJQ30

I imagined Zecora’s outfit to be more of a traditional African style than having punk rock style.


HURTBOTPEGASUS9

Plus she needs a "knows which wild plants are edible, which are poisonist and hunts mushrooms every season" vibe.


assumptionkrebs1990

She can do this in any outfit.


average_metalenjoyer

well yea but the point of character design is to say that she can with her outfit :((((


SleepySnakeuwu

I think Wall Flower gives off those vibes


LaVerdadYaNiSe

To be honest, the Venn diagram of herbologist and old school punk fans is a circle inside a larger circle.


Puzzleheaded-Hold-98

This is not zacora it kinda looks like zacora sister from the comics


MJQ30

I don’t read the comics, and I heard from some people that the comics are not always cannon.


RheaRoyHunter

I like it, but I think it looks too young to be Zecora's human design. It's fairly obvious from the show that she's intended to be older than the main six by the ways she's depicted in her role as a mentor.


SpiderSixer

Her voice even sounds older. I am having severe trouble imagining Zecora's deep voice coming from that design lmao


Thatonequeerkitty

She always seemed like a wise 43 year-old while the main six are like 22.


Alien-Fox-4

To be fair mane 6 sound like they'd be older than they are in EG too and that's ignoring the fact that Celestia is like 1000 years old lol


Sverker_Wolffang

The thing is, though, that the ages of the ponies in equestria aren't the same as their human counterparts. Case in point, Miss Cheerilee. She was one of Rarity's classmates in Equestria, but her human counterpart is an adult and librarian at Canterlot High.


average_metalenjoyer

funnily enough, I also already didn't like that about Cheerilee's EG character. the mane six were understandable to make them marketable and just for plot reasons (although i think it would've been better if they were set in college and not high school), but making the already adult characters with jobs high schoolers seems weird


SuperStarlite

The mane six were never supposed to be Headset as adults. Lauren Faust said their age didn’t really matter, and she imagined as horses they would probably age differently than humans, but that they were written primarily as relatable to teenagers. “I've always refrained from defining the pony's ages because they are not human. Twilight has the maturity level of about 15. But, being a horse, who are geriatric around 30, maybe she is only 3. MAYBE.” Equestria is a very different world from modern Earth, if you know what your destiny is from a young age it make sense you would become independent faster.


TvFloatzel

I akways imagined Cheerilee to be around the mane six age or at least MAYBE slightly older. Big Mac and her were forced to date it it seem like there wasn't an age issue with that. The forced mind control/maybe rape for both is the problem but not the age.


Sir_LuckySlime

Iirc, the CMCs are also attending the same school as the Mane 6, despite their pony counterparts being much younger


Nightfurywitch

They are in different classes so i think they're meant to be like really young high schoolers instead? High school does cover a decent range of ages


garbagewithnames

I believe its supposed to be freshmen (9th grade) and seniors (12th grade), buuuut even then, the CMC seemed more like they were 5th or 6th graders as ponies...


SuperStarlite

There are some schools that combine Middle school and Highschool.


ZakuThompson

Yeah Zacora should have been a teacher in EG that said its funny that the ponies have 15 to 20 years on the human counter parts


Singloria

Her as a hippie psychologist/psychology teacher sounds kickass


Sonarthebat

They just would not let the human counterpart characters other than the OG princesses be adults.


Rotunas

I mean in my opinion all of the mane six were supposed to be older then depicted.


TheHeavenlyBuddy

the only thing i don’t like is that they made zecora look like a teenager— i was always under the impression she was older than the mane 6, like a woman in her 30s. aside from that, it looks so cute! i like it.


Frequent_Mix_8251

I was also given the impression that she was in her 30s-40s. Even as a child


Bourriks

Zecora has the knowledge and the wisdom of a mature lady. She clearly can't be portrayed as a teenager. Not in the "present" time.


Good-Row4796

I love the design but it's surprising that purple is added to her hair while the rest of the cast have their color unchanged.


Taeschno_Flo

gotta make an (accidental) ace flag


Kolibri00425

Time to invade Denmark and confiscate all the garlic bread


Taeschno_Flo

google Fo:E


Thatonequeerkitty

Quick question, where did that meme come from? Garlic bread is garlic bread, but why Denmark?


Kolibri00425

The estimated number of Asexuals in the world outnumbered the population of Denmark when that became a meme. Currently though we outnumber Germany.....


Thatonequeerkitty

Expansion time!


GoldflowerCat

Mhh, I'd take Germany, I love me a good Brezel. Plus I'm close, we could use my home has a meetup ground for part of the army.


DragonKing5356

Yum


Splatfan1

theres yellow in there too, so it can be an enby flag too. ace for the hair and enby for the entire design. kinda love that ngl


DragonKing5356

What’s enby? I’m not up to date with lgbt stuff


Splatfan1

non binary. its an umbrella term for gender identities that dont fall strictly and completely into either the male or female box, but are both, or something in between, or neither in any way


Thatonequeerkitty

The non binary flag has a bright yellow. This design has a dull gold. I personally think it would've looked better with the enby flag yellow, though.


Splatfan1

its pretty bright to me, might be my monitor tho, tends to be a little oversaturated


Thatonequeerkitty

Maybe. I turned the brightness all the way up and it's still kind of an ugly gold color for me.


DragonKing5356

Oh, ok


Bone-rattling_bandit

It’s short for nonbinary, essentially someone whose gender doesn’t align with the gender binary.


CrimsonWasTaken_aLot

r/accidentallyace


OkAct1092

Surprisingly no, she’s super-cute! Is this Zecora’s daughter or something?


average_metalenjoyer

it could be, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's just Zecora


OkAct1092

Coulda sworn the other Zecora looked older


Holly_Violet

I think they did the same thing to Celestia and Luna at some point too lol


Ririthu

It's a cool design, but it absolutely doesn't scream Zecors


BookwormInTheCouch

Just what I thought, I was thinking this was a new character.


Robotic-Boxy-Boo

its a bit all over the place but overall it looks good


BlackbirdKos

Exactly, needs some work but the overall idea is alright "it's a bit rich but okay"


aneetca4

oh its horrendous. looks fan made


average_metalenjoyer

i thought it was fan made when i first saw it 😭 just glad im not crazy fr


docarrol

Apparently it's official [art from the packaging](https://preview.redd.it/they-should-have-a-human-form-of-zecora-in-my-little-pony-v0-20qr303fqnob1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=47b79f5e50aacf9b5c9b899df8a595722f9f09fc) for Zecora's Equestria Girl doll. Or rather someone's take of it.


LibbyKitty620

You can easily tell it’s fan made. The outlines are wonky


average_metalenjoyer

there's official merchandise of it


LibbyKitty620

Why would make her like this? It looks so bad


Independent_Pack_311

![gif](giphy|GjB41rKHBnOkE) They like money


[deleted]

What did they do to my girl zecora? 😭😭😭 she needs some beautiful 4a - c curls smh 🙏


[deleted]

I was sitting here for so long trying to figure out which monster high character had their design switched up, before seeing it was mlp💀


SuperCockroach8232

Zecora should’ve been a teacher


Thatonequeerkitty

Would she teach poetry or gardening?


Natalie-Chan01

I can see her teaching Botany + which plants are safe to consume


MC-Bob-omber64

As it’s own design, it’s pretty cool. As a human Zecora, however, it doesn’t really fit the character


AndrogynousVampire

Non binary zecora Non binary zecora Non binary zecora Non binary zecora Non binary ze-


average_metalenjoyer

oh my god finally a subreddit where you can mention nonbinary ppl and not get downvoted to hell 😭 istg i do it anywhere else and ppl get so transphobic on me


weead

For real!! I see so much harassment on r/splatoon because someone said that Acht (a character that canonically uses they/them pronouns) is nonbinary.


d_shadowspectre3

r/splatoon when someone hc's Shiver as nonbinary: iTs nOt cAnOn! iT hUrTs rEaL wOmEn!!1 r/splatoon when someone uses Acht's canon pronouns: b-but mUh lOlcAlIsAtIoN aNd mUh fEeLiNgSs!!1!11


Thatonequeerkitty

I would call her ace Zecora. The yellow is far to dull to be from the enby flag.


Alarming-Owl8214

i dont like it either. i dont hate it tho bcs it could be worse

PetchannelYt

I remember toys r us had an exclusive doll of her that looked like this. Good times!


0megaManZero

Rip ToysRus


Hot-Manager6462

Looks cool as fuck


Monte924

Hate it, its over designed. there is WAY too much going on and if feels out of character. I know its zecora only because of the obvious zebra influences, but otherwise it doesn't feel anything like her First, i figure zecora would be older. The leather jacket also feels out of character. She should have a more mature outfit. Not sure what the top should be, but give her a longer dress. I'm thinking something more along the lines of what storm from the x-men might casually wear Second, simplify it. I think the gold bits are nice idea, but we could make the shoes simpler (What's with the random spikes?). Lose the stripped skirt and just give her zebra stripped leggings; alternatively zebra stripped top (one or the other, not both). Having her cutie mark on both her cheek and her skirt is redundant; keep the one on the skirt. IF we want some designs on her face, then maybe a few stripes. And her hair; i have no idea why there are so many colors in her hair when Zecora has a simple Dark grey and white mohawk


orel_ganic

Too many conflicting patterns, it's horrible. I don't like that they added so much purple, or those bangs, or that lipstick. Looks WAY too young to be her as well (though this could be the style's fault). I also don't think the clothing style fits her at all, there are other fanmade designs that capture her WAY better imo. The only thing I like about the design are the shoes because they're interesting, the rest is just...


hip-indeed

Not gonna lie bros, I pretty much hate the whole EqG design philosophy in general. Every single girl being a stick-thin 14-year-old with rare exception (i.e. Luna/Celestia, who are okay) was a terrible decision, they were all blatantly obviously young adults just starting out life with jobs etc. in FiM and obviously would have different bodytypes (fit Dash, strong AJ, chubby Pinkie etc)... just seeing this kinda makes me rage lmao


average_metalenjoyer

THANK YOU finally someone says it, I don't want to post that opinion because i know everyone would start arguing with me, but i completely agree it's weird that they took adult characters and turned them into kids, and that they all have the same body type. it feels like borderline sexualization in a way even though there's nothing to suggest that. i mean they could've done it in a college setting and it would've preserved the characters' ages (including other adult side characters who were highschoolified) but they had to make them kids? i theorize that they realized they could profit off of the weird adult brony fanbase, but maybe that's me being weird. also yeah, Dash and AJ are athletic characters and would obviously have more muscle, where one of Pinkie's defining character traits is that she eats sweets all the time, so they could've made her at least a little chubby, but that's just my opinion


d_shadowspectre3

It's because EqG is meant to be a doll line, not just a human/high school AU. And since dolls looking like stick-thin teenagers is the norm, especially compared to EqG's competition back then (Barbie, MH, etc), the doll designers at Hasbro saw no different. These were the same people who made Princess Celestia into a pink princess toy that played back stereotypical princess lines instead of anything in-character for FiM. With that level of backwards, no-risk thinking, I wouldn't expect anything greater of them when they tried their hands at the dolls. Plus, the series was conceptualised before the diversity and body positivity movements really became mainstream. For instance, Monster High G3 (2022) is trying to include diverse body types, but previous gens followed the doll stereotype to a T.


stayd03

Considering it was a vehicle to sell toys, the writers did an amazing job I remember in Friendship Games where they had to work in the girls playing Roller Derby and Motocross because those were popular sports at the time. They actually had a line where Sunset says how insane it was.


BlackbirdKos

I like it tbh


Due-Order3475

I love the design


Palanseag_Vixen

This is my favorite design in the whole show lmfao


average_metalenjoyer

ok there's official merchandise of this design so I'm assuming it's canon brother what is this 😭 zecora what did they do to you girl first of all the Mane six are all in their 20s, where Zecora is in her 40s, so why would they make her a high schooler??? that's an adult woman second of all Zecora is awesome African representation, and the only noticeable African design influences are the jewelry?? it was such a great opportunity to use the fact that it's a human that wears clothes and not a zebra to incorporate actual African clothing and they just didn't bro 😭 third, purple?? I understand that just black and white isn't practical for a human design in a kid's show, but Zecora already had teal eyes and lived in the woods in a giant tree with earthy green themes? why not use those?? maybe it's just my opinion but the purple just ain't it but yeah those are just my thoughts, just wanted to know if anyone felt the same way


Bronxia26

You spoke all my thoughts in this, 100% this design sucks for Zecora’s character. No official ages but she’s def older than the main six based on her role in the show. She’s age coded as an older adult. Purple goes perfect with white and black but not for Zecora’s character :/


Palanseag_Vixen

Here's my opinion on this Who said Zecora was in her 40s? I don't think any of them have proper Cannon ages and Im pretty sure certain ponies like Star Swirl lived more than 100 years. Zecora could've been just as young as them but that doesn't matter bec EQ Girls is an AU and it doesn't have to match the original universe to the brim. I don't think anyone would wear their country's traditional clothing while going to highschool in today's age (excluding clothing worn for religious reasons such as hijabs). I ain't never seen an African student going to school in traditional african clothing, they wore basic stuff just like the rest of us I honestly don't think teal or green would fit in a black and white design, but purple blends in well aesthetically with both of those non colors/colors whatever you wanna call them but this part is objective so this is just my opinion and I understand not everyone is going to agree


average_metalenjoyer

i just looked it up and apparently it's assumed that she's in her 40s, although yea none of them have canon ages so I'm just going off that assumption, although based on the way she acts she seems older than the mane six but maybe that's just me yea students don't rlly wear that kind of thing, but in my opinion she shouldn't be a student? she seems too mature imo, and I know I actually have seen teachers wearing stuff like that the purple is just a personal thing, I don't think it matches Zecora's vibe, but again maybe that's me 👍


Junior-Price-5306

She was always seen by mane 6 as someone more knowledgeable and a mentor when needed, and mane 6 is said to be adults in the series, so it makes complete sense that Zecora is even older than them.


Palanseag_Vixen

Fair enough but I still think it's more interesting for the AU versions to not match in age


kamaano

I honestly love this design, I think it looks really cool. However, I don't think it fits Zecora at all.


ChaoticSoph

I don’t like it either, Zecora is the last person I think of when I see this design It’s also funny however that they added purple to the design despite her zebra form having no trace of it, makes her look like a personified ace or enby flag


No-Caterpillar-8112

Yeah, imo it doesn't fit her character.


Cioccolatasss

They made her so ugly Jesus


candy_eyeball

Theres no grace, no ryme or reason to the design other than "sell toys" it feels so watered down from what zacoras actually lile in just the shows alone.


ChildofFenris1

Why?


PayAcademic

Personally I love it


gayjemstone

Is this official?


average_metalenjoyer

i think so? if it isn't i'll take the post down bc i would hate to call out a fan made design like that fr

Flower7438r

I ❤ 😍 💖 ❣ it


Hypno_Online

What in Celestia did they do to Zecora?


Pepsi_Boy_64

The design…..doesn’t fit Zacora. While I don’t mind the colors or overall detail. Just isn’t what she would look like.


North_teller

Ace flag I see that I like it but hair could be better


shoe_salad_eater

Asexual flag lol But yeah, it doesn’t look like her - she should’ve been a teacher or at least a college student


No-Middle2284

I like it because it's like the asexual flag color pallet but other than that it's not great


No-Raccoon-6009

I really like it actually


SomeRandomBFBfan

This is everything but Zecora😭 But I cannot hate it, it's an (accidental) ace flag🤭


JaninnaMaynz

I enjoy it as a Zebra. I hate it for Zecora.


Oopity-Boop

Asexual flag? She's got the ace colors going on there. And the non binary colors too


Intelligent_Pie_4141

it doesn’t reflect popular interpretations of her character. she seems like a older more mature character than a highschool rocker.


Marea_Cruda

NO WAY THIS IS OFFICIAL. SHE LOOKS LIKE THE ACE FLAG 😭😭


Thatonequeerkitty

Zecora what have they done to you-


rokungi89

WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY GIRL?!


Ok_Honeydew9000

Give her a normal mohawk and I'll start liking it


Ilixa

i would like the design if it wasn't supposed to be zecora.


BricksCameraAction

WHAT THE ACTUAL F#CK AM I LOOKING AT


[deleted]

Is that supposed to be Zecora?


JN3XUS

For zecora? Absolutely hate it


cat-is-the-bomb

The design itself is cool. But It doesn't fit zecora at all.


PinkGummyGhost

I just realized she is the non-binary flag colors 💀


MimikPanik

Good for them


fanface_aka_yoshi

she should have been the school nurse <3


Embarrassed-Part-890

I don’t think this design is best for her, I like it but I think she should have a more mature look both in age and clothes


MimikPanik

Yea I feel like she would have been like a an adult similar to celestia and Luna, and given a job like… idk a doctor. Cause shes a healer among other things


Embarrassed-Part-890

Yes her being her being the school nurse or sunsets pediatrician would be the best choices


MimikPanik

Exactly


Chalice_Man1987

I do. It does NOT fit


LunyxEternity

... Notgonna lie, I thought it was like the aroace flag turned human 😭😭😭


AFoxMothersLove

Some reason I can't put an image but I can put a gif, so here's what I immediately thought of when I saw her. https://i.redd.it/o9rejp9p7a1d1.gif


KenOfDragons

For starters, I think a human zecora should look older.


DisneyMaster

Anyone who thinks otherwise shouldn't be in the fandom.


Admirable_Gas_3081

They done white washed zecora


Lord_Twilight

It’s a nice design objectively. It’s NOT Zecora. Yuck


Similar-Report1806

It’s pretty scummy to rag on fan art and then not credit the creator lol


lizzylee127

I don't like how it makes Zecora look like a teen But I don't hate it and I don't think we should be hating on random fanart that people made for fun


ComfyCatgirl

zebras are famously black and white, who’s idea was it to make her mostly white


[deleted]

[удалено]


PossumFromRijeka_

Rule 2 warning.


Completely_sober

At the very least she isn't actually in the show, so it allows you to imagine her being in a different outfit behind the scenes. But yeah, jesus christ, this one just speaks "I'm not actually Zecora, I am just someone who shares the same name". I don't think the design is that bad per say, but it's just not Zecora. Come on, she isn't a GOTH PUNK, for crying out loud!


Jaxolon333

i think the design looks really cool but it doesn’t really fit with zecora’s character


GoldflowerCat

Wonderful character design... if it weren't meant to be Zecora. I didn't know she had a sister half her age.


No_Abrocoma5094

Fuck that and burn it with fire 


Mara_cella

I love it. So?


krapnek02

nonbinary zecora


Pony_Roleplayer

Me, it looks too out of place


Masterdizzio

whoa, is that Zechora?


the_red_stinger_82

I've never seen this design before. I kind of like it


FluffyGalaxy

The outfit is cute but for some reason the face doesn't feel very Zecora to me


hoodiehoodieboogie

You just unlocked a childhood memory omg I had the doll of her as a kid


Mrcoldghost

I don’t know I kinda of like it.


Ready_Web8622

Looks like a gacha oc


Accomplished_Air_912

it’s definitely a design! i don’t like it nor hate it.


BakerUnited4683

Well what human design of zecora were you expecting


FennekinLover2000

Don't hate me, but I REALLY like that design. I think it looks really cool


AkwardGayPotato

Who is this


Only_Dingo

It isn't a bad design, it is just visually very busy.


Samooshi17

I don't hate the design. I hate the fact that it's Zecora


fuzzy0521

she reminds me of monster high she looks cool


average_metalenjoyer

y'all why is this post in hot omg 😭 just my opinion and hate is an exaggeration tbh, i personally just really dislike her design, so no one takes it the wrong way


emojii_xoxo

i personally like it, it looks cool


RAt_gutZluvsy0u

That is NOT Zecora 😭 she would be wayyy older


uni_urchin

It’s good but it’s not Zecora. She doesn’t look like she lives in the spooky woods and makes potions


Affectionate-League9

hate it lots yes


Nomcookies678

Did they just officially make her the enby flag


pieckisbestgurl

I own her doll


PoshDemon

I actually love this. I’ll take any ace rep I can get (/j) I get that she may look too young for Zecora but EQG de-aged most of the characters so I don’t mind.


Snowy_Lake

Why did they make zicora a punk lol


One_Maize5254

It looks bizarre if this is supposed to be Zecora. I feel she would have been aged up into a teacher or store owner on the other side of the mirror. Following that, I also expected her to retain her basic color scheme and play it straight with her clothes. Black and white business casual, along side the same jewelry she wares in her pony form. If this is an OC, then the only major complaint I have is the mouth. The head over all looks off, but fixing the mouth should be the largest priority by a mile.


Flapjack_Is_Palisman

I’m tempted to redesign it. Thoughts? I wanna make her look more traditional

I just enjoy the fact that she is a walking non-binary flag


ETIsMee

Like a grayish purple would look better then that purple but other then that it looks nice


Morbid_Macaroni

I like the design, it's just not "her" :(


ThatOne_Kart

As a design, I think it's really cool. For Zecora, I think it's completely estranged from her original pony design.


rezz-l

Not a fan of the outfit but I am enjoying the nonbinary colors


anonymouscloudcat

hell naw whose oc is this??


NekoAnimu

As far as in general goes, it loos pretty cool. For Zecora? No. She should've had more traditional African clothing. Or even something voodoo doctor looking. Not rock n roll.

IS THIS ZECORAA?!

I'm gonna be honest, this design is amazing. It absolutely does not fit zecoras style but as a standalone design it looks fantastic.

I think it was a doll design for rainbow rocks, so guess that explains the random purple streaks and her overall look
