many years ago i made an oc named Lil. he was a small brown pony designed pretty much to be an easy to draw non-complex character. i had no idea who button mash was when i conceived of my oc but i eventually found out about him and it was impossible to ignore the similarities. i thought of trashing my oc due to that but i never did, he was mine. i didn’t make him to copy another character.
 
so long story short, this is them meeting for the first time.
