Kyle

[BlackCurtains]

This is not the best custom I've ever made, but it's the most meaningful.

This is Kyle.

Kyle is a Big Brother, even though he doesn't look it. Growing up it bothered him that he was so slender, with long legs, long hair and a flower in his ear. He hated being called a Sweetheart Sister, but he never knew why. He tried to fit in and be like the others, but it left him feeling empty and miserable and eventually very angry.

Kyle was lost in his anger. He had no future, no hope. One night, as he was ready to succumb to the only thing he thought was left for him, he tried to imagine what it would be like to be happy. Kyle was surprised at the image that filled his head… but as he thought about it, the more sense it made and suddenly Kyle realized that he's always been a Big Brother and has known since he was a little foal.

He set out to make things right. He cut his hair, ripped that girly flower from his body (which left a scar) and began wearing his own Big Brother bandana. He felt better than he had in his whole life, and his anger was gone. He could finally see a future. In it, he was happy. It was what he saw that night. Himself, as the Big Brother he'd always been. Kyle has a long way to go but he has already started his journey.

Kyle's symbols are a brain in a thought bubble representing Kyle's mind. His thoughts have always been his own, the only thing that was never a discrepancy.
A heart, beaten and broken but on the mend. A lifetime of confusion and misery but with a glimmer of hope.
Finally, Kyle's enemy. A mirror. It is broken. Kyle knows reflections lie.

Purple was chosen as a body color because the corresponding stripe in the pride flag means 'spirit'. Kyle's hair are the colors of the transgender flag; baby blue and pink for boys and girls with white in the center.

On a side note - I'm not sure what went wrong when I sealed him. I used Testors but he's awfully sticky and attracting lint like a vacuum. It's the first issue I've had. There were also some spots that refused to be painted. The bait was very squishy too, so maybe that had something to do with it.

As always, thanks for looking
(omg my heart is pounding posting this)

Infinite admiration for this awesome pony and his awesome creator

I think he's beautiful! Both in appearance and story. Makes me wish more people could see that what you look like doesn't change who you are.

I think that the custom looks great and all the little details are very well planned and thought of.

And his backstory is heartwarming.

Great custom!  The story behind him is wonderful.  It adds tons of life to the custom.  Very nice work!  I love all of the parts of the symbol, and the meanings behind all of the colors you chose for him.  Plus, I love the bandanna!
