Another piece of artwork of my MLP OC 'Alex Cosmos'

Depressing, I know.
BUT, this art serves purpose.

Lately, I have noticed that among the fandom,
many "fanatics" despise Alicorn OC's for any given reason
(heck, Twilight Sparkle's even been "attacked" for becoming an Alicorn)

While no one has given such criticism towards my OC..I've had the foresight to anticipate such an attack,

SO, before you angry fanatics start something,
Lemme explain some things regarding Alex Cosmos "status"

While most artwork of him has portrayed the stallion as an Alicorn,
he was originally born an Earth Pony to parents who were a Unicorn and Pegasus.

this oddity made him recieve quite of abuse from his father,
and, his lacking of a "cutie mark" (or, "coolie mark" as I refer it for male ponies) only made things WORSE.

while he was loved by Twilight Sparkle..
he recieved an terminal illness, and died while the Mane Six were all present.

he then became a Ghost, and underwent training to harness his new abilities.

when Hostile Spirits began invading Equestria,
Alex immediatly returned to defend those he loved.

As a ghost, he not only became an Alicorn..but, recieved his mark (the "A" symbol)

Alex doesn't really understand why he's an Alicorn (such things usually have a "deep" meaning)
and, doesn't believe he is worthy of the royal status that comes with it, either.

while everypony else see him as "Prince Cosmos, the Phantom Alicorn"
Alex STILL views himself as "Alex Cosmos, the Blank Flanked Earth Pony".

Twilight and Celestia say otherwise.

So, go ahead..mock him, ridicule him.
you'll only make yourselves look like JERKS if you do.

I chose "Reflection" from Mulan as the featured song,
as it seemed like the right thing to do (and, was my inital inspiration)
