The Parents!
Wanted to do an image of Dash and Bell as newly weds/parents. Most likely parents in this case. I mean look at Dash's hair! When did it get so conservative? (Based it vaguely off G1 mane styles) Picture likely taken at some kind of kid centered sporting event or Cherri is at summer camp and her folks sent her an encouraging post card.

HC: Dumbbell
Remember Dumbbell, Rainbow Dash's old bully? He's a main parent in Harmonyverse, the bo of not one, but two of the Mane Six.
[[MORE]]
Throughout his foalhood, he took his frustrations out on pegasi runts, because his father had repeatedly told him he himself was a runt. That doesn't excuse Dumbbell's actions, of course, but that's where the seed of poor self esteem was planted, resulting in Dumbbell being a chaotic bully figure. He was the kind of bully that was sometimes your rude friend too; the type you invite over for a game of baseball or something every once and awhile. Basically he was a Buford from Phineas and Ferb-esque bully.
Dumbbell is a mountain of a muscular pegasus. Despite his job at the Weather Factory, which he was forced into taking as a teen after his cheating father ditched his sick mom, Dumbbell never truly have up on his life goal; weightlifting. He wanted to become a famous sportsman, so he could have the money to take care of his mom, brothers and sisters.
The "Boy Bullies" are all brothers, only a few of their numerous siblings. He was the oldest boy, so it fell to him to be the breadwinner until their mom recovered from an illness. Hoops had too much riding on him with the basketball team, and Score was already an intern for an Equestrian Hoofball company. It made the most sense for Dumbbell to quickly snag a full-time gig at the Weather Factory. Score and Hoops managed to get part-time spots.
As an adult, Dumbbell quite likes his job and the world of meteorology. He still hasn't given up on bodybuilding, and one day wishes to hold the world record for lifting weights.
That's where Dumbbell met Lance Barbell, better known as Bulk Biceps. Cloudsdale was holding a weightlifting competition that Dumbbell caught wind of, only by his co-workers complaining about the Oatstrian rock of a pegasus that kept winning. Dumbbell got his bros to cover for him, determined to prove himself against this loud stallion... And thus, a rivalry was born.
Dumbbell was baffled by the sheer strength of Bulk Biceps. Bulk kept one-uping him, and Dumbbell was well pissed by the seventh time that dumb stranger won over him.
Like the idiot he is, Dumbbell ended up spraining his back. Thankfully, Bulk Biceps is also a physical therapist, and offered to fix Dumbbell right up, free of charge. Reluctantly, Dumbbell took the offer. He was basically just insulting Bulk Biceps the entire time... and didn't seem to notice when the insults became playful banter.
Afterwards, Dumbbell kept running into Lance at the gym, day after day, until eventually, the two started waiting for the other to show up. Their rivalry was soon filtered in friendship.
Bulk Biceps, very nervously, cracked up the courage to sing Dumbbell a song he had wrote about him... a love song, that is. Dumbbell turned into a stammering beet red dork, of course, so the only way to answer his friend's love declaration was to kiss the shy stallion.
They married young and quickly, Bulk opted to have a child, twhich Bell agreed, after some convincing. Their only son is one Featherweight. Dumbbell festered a lot of fear over parenthood, hating the idea of ruining his kid or becoming his own asshole of a father. When Featherweight was very young, Dumbbell kept a distance, and started taking up more shifts at the factory. Due to his absence, Bulk Biceps started to become lonely and clingy towards his husband. This only drew Dumbbell farther away, as he was uncomfortable with how dependant everyone was on him...
Bulk and Bell struggled for a long time, until he missed Featherweight's nineth birthday party. Featherweight had waited all day for his Pops to come. Then he waited until midnight. 1 AM. 2 AM. Soon enough, it was 6 o'clock in the morning. He ended up falling asleep in Bulk's arms, with snot and tears coating his fur.
Dumbbell finally arrived home at seven. He had forgotten about the special day, since a crowd of pegasi were trying out for the Wonderbolts and he had wanted to watch. He had been with one try-out all night... He swore to Lance nothing happened despite the signals that mare was sending him, but Bulk couldn't forgive Dumbbell for missing their son's birthday, just so he could flirt. "Maybe, if you don't plan on showing up for your son's birthday... you shouldn't show up at all."
And so, the pair divorced. Bulk Biceps took primary custody of Featherweight.
Dumbbell threw himself into his work after that. He climbed the ladder until he managed his own team of employees. He was doing so good that when the Wind Rider took a tour of the establishment, he offered to set the chap up with his daughter!
Fresh off a divorce, but Dumbbell couldn't refuse a date with a celebrity's kid, espiecally when that celebrity kept joking about ending Dumbbell's career if he hurt Wind Rider's daughter. So, a blind date ensued.
Wouldn't you know it, the mare turned out to be that try-out flirt, a miss Lightning Dust. Their relationship was always rocky and filled with arguments and pettiness, but they did genuinely love each other. When Lightning Dust came up pregnant, Wind Rider pressured the two into a shotgun marriage. From then on, they had even more things to disbute over. Wind chose the name of their first son, Thunderweight.
The first big chip at their love was when a colt Thunderweight attempted a dangerous flight trick that Lightning Dust had promised was harmless. A baby could do it, she insisted! Well, little Thunder landed right into the hospital with multiple broken bones and a concussion. Their house was brimming with fights over the past few days, until Dumbbell threatened to take the matter to court (and take Thunderweight away, permanently). Lightning Dust eventually agreed to dismantle the Washouts and join a different team, the Shadowbolts; a group of quick pegasi racers.
They had three more children-- Phoenix Ashes, and the baby twins Hailstorm and Whirlwind. Dumbbell finally had enough of Lightning Dust's smooth manipluations when it was discovered that Phoenix had a personality disorder caused by her mother's "tough love", aka how Light would only give Phoenix attention if she did what she wanted. If not, Lightning Dust acted as if her eldest girl didn't exist. What Dumbbell hated more was how Lightning Dust just shrugged and dismissed this, thinking her race was more important than this "dumb little visit".
Dumbbell divorced and convinced the court that the children would be better off with him. Even Wind Rider couldn't muster up the lawyers to get custody for the kids.
Dumbbell tried being a very present, very good single dad. He had to give little Phoenix a bit more care than the others, stirring up some resentment among her siblings. Thunderweight became her ruthless bully, as he blamed her for the divorce, and even roped a child Hailstorm into preying upon Phoenix Ashes. She became terrified of her brothers and stopped leaving her room. Dumbbell was so exhausted caring for all of them and working full-time... it was so, so hard; he didn't know how his mother had done it.
In her mid-teens, Phoenix Ashes ran away from Cloudsdale. Dumbbell was beside himself with worry and was a shade from a mental breakdown, when Whirlwind suggested that maybe if he found someone new to love, he might be happier. He didn't go out right away; he waited frantically until he got a call from Featherweight, claiming that Phoenix was staying with him for a while.
Dumbbell hadn't talked to his first kid in so long. They talked for hours and hours, simply exchanging life stories. Turns out, Featherweight was now a professional sports photographer and the hotshot Editor In Chief of the Ponyville Newspaper. The scrawny pegasus was even about to be a father himself! It felt so nice getting to know his son again. Dumbbell promised that they would talk more. To Featherweight's delight, he's kept it.
Knowing his daughter was safe gave Dumbbell a chance to relax for a moment. He had been scaring himself with nightmares and terrible daydreams of what might've happened to her. He took a few weeks to breathe and reconnect with his family.
Dumbbell knew that Thunderweight and Hailstorm, though a surly duo, were just scared kids deep down, missing their mother terribly. Dumbbell tried to get closer to them, and encouraged their special talents, beauty and art respectively. He even got his boys to workout with him, sometimes. That's not to say their behavior went unpunished-- Dumbbell refused to let Thunderweight tryout for the Wonderbolts and he took away Hailstorm's art supplies. ("You can go back to whatever you're doing when you learn some manners, colts. You're not children anymore, so stop acting like it! Phoenix Ashes is your /sister/, your flesh and blood, and you drove her away. Both of you should be ashamed of yourselves!")
Thank Celestia his youngest wasn't an asshole. Whirlwind had been cooking up some date for a while now, and she was so happy when dear ole dad finally accepted to go. Whirlwind couldn't help spilling her idea.
Whirly wanted him to go out with a girl he had briefly dated in his teenage years... Rainbow Dash. Reluctantly, Bell gave her a call. He was surprised that he actually heard back from her; and even more so when she said yes.
Dumbbell scrambled to the date, nervous but cocky, and was a bit shaken up when he found out Rainbow Dash had brought her wife to the date.
The Earth Pony was very excited to meet him. Her name was "Pinkamena Diane Pie, but all my friends call me Pinkie Pie!"
Dumbbell was very confused and very awkward. He went on with it nervously, but ended up having a great time. Pinkie Pie was so upbeat, energetic and funny, and Rainbow Dash was still a proud showboat dork. They had another date. And another. And another. And another.
Eventually, Dumbbell was the wives' official boyfriend. They didn't mind that he had kids, seeing as they had their own herd nicknamed "the Quad Squad", consisting of Airhead, Creampuff, Starburst and Jawbreaker.
After Thunderweight got his own place, Dumbbell soon moved to Ponyville. He lives with Pinkie, Rainbow Crash, Crash's parents, Whirlwind and Hailstorm.
Dumbbell's parenting skills have definitely improved, but he still doesn't think himself that great of a dad. He tries to be there for all his children now, and that's really all he can do at that point. He's so sorry that he missed so much of Featherweight's life, or how he didn't see how severe the bullying was on Phoenix... He slightly hates himself for not being a better father sooner. But he can't change the past, so at least he can be there for them in the present.
Other notes~
- In the Humanverse, Dumbbell comes from mixed background, but is mostly Brazilian. He is a hybrid of vague horse breeds in Ponyverse, but is very tall, muscular, and fluffy. His design is partly inspired by Lopoddity's art of him, and his father walking out on him was her idea too.
(Design description; his fur turns the color of his mane at the uncolored parts, the darkness on his ear tips and shoulder blades resemble the hue of chocolate, and the color of his hooves match that of Hoops' pelt color. I imagine his eyes as more of an icey blue than moderate azure.)
- Featherweight is the father of Apple Bloom's daughter Candy Blossom. The four prominent adults in her life share her; Feathers, AB, AB's girlfriend Diamond Tiara, and Feather's bf Pipsqueak. Dumbbell is always ready to visit his wittle granddaughter, yes yes
- Dumbbell's mother did recover from her illness after a hassle of years. It was hard, but they got there.
- Bulk Biceps enjoys a quiet, if not distant, friendship with his ex-husband. He's happy that he's a better pony now, but he wasn't going to wait for that to happen. Instead, he remarried to a strong mare by the name of Maud Pie. Featherweight's half-sibling is called Smoky Quartz.
(Since Maud is no longer with Starlight and Trixie in my verse, I've moved them around a bit. Trixie is now the wife of con-artist Flim and nature enthusiast Mudbriar, carrying their two children Willow Wisp and Wildflower, the minions of Prince Janus. I haven't decided who Starlight Glimmer is with yet- suggestions are appreciated!)
- Dumbbell's brother Hoops went onto become a local sportspony, a celebrity in Ponyville. His main gig is basketball, which to the ponies translates to punching the ball with your head or chin instead of hands. Hoops is a confident, secretly insecure boyo, that also turns into a beet red dork at the notion of romance.
Hoops is married to ex-single mother Ditzy Doo (nicknamed "Derpy Hooves" by Ponyville), and is stepfather to her daughter Dinky Doo. Hoops had his own son with her named Butterhoof after adopting a young teenage Screwball.
- Score is a tubby, socially awkward fella with social anxiety and shyness over his stunted size (he's rather short and chubby for the stallions in his family). He was the push-over type; he wasn't ever really /the/ mean bully, but the one that would encourage him and repeat what he said. He still doesn't speak up often, but is more outspoken than he was as a child or in his early to mid 20s (which is when the show takes place to me).
Score would take a paying job in Appleloosa for a small business interested in teaching sports to the youth. There Braeburn would charm the socks off Score, impressing him with shows of his Apple strength, community influence, bravery, and the flowers he kept sending his winged co-worker. Score just couldn't refuse that daring smirk when Braeburn asked him out.
Their relationship would go strong for many years... And they still are. They're that pair that argues like a married couple before they're married (they are btw), while simultaneously they're those lovebirds that can't stop snuggling each other. The two have tons of pet names, and even more embarrassing nicknames for their son Snapple.
- Dumbbell and Rainbow Dash love to shit talk Lightning Dust together. It's one of the many things that ensured their quick romance. Other reasons include endless banter, shit talking literally everything, routine workouts where they pushed each other to the limit, racing competitions, competitions in general (they hoof-wrestle a lot), flustering the hell outta the other, etc. In short, they're jerk jocks in love.
Dumbbell's relationship with Pinkie isn't as sweetly bitchy as his with Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie loves snuggles, kisses all de time, and is a big fan of physical contact. Her love language consists of touch and/or verbal affection. Dumbbell is thankful he found someone who is always trying to teach him something new and exciting.
She likes laying on Bell's back, teaching him how to bake, helping him through his daddy issues, encouraging his pre-existing passions, and using his shadow as shade. Dumbbell is patient with Pinkie the most of all; she is a bipolar, autistic dwarf-- though she may fall hard into depression, or may not understand something right away, it doesn't mean that's bad. It just takes bit more time, and her partners are willing to give it.
- Jawbreaker and Dumbbell box all the time. Pseudo father/son bonding time
- Dumbbell's full name is Buck Dum Belle. Pinkie calls him Bucky. Rainbow Dash calls him Dummy.
And that's all folks, my dumb hc for this one-off character that I've grown attached to, hope you enjoyed ✌️ don't take my headcanonnnn or y'know also my art. I actually redid the drawing (the other was completely different, undetailed, plain, and bland) and I'm so glad I did. This one is sooo much better you don't even know. (Yes, I did upload this on Pastelglitchesxx, but I didn't like the format so I changed it up.)

He's so sorry that he missed so much of Featherweight's life, or how he didn't see how severe the bullying was on Phoenix... He slightly hates himself for not being a better father sooner. But he can't change the past, so at least he can be there for them in the present.
Other notes~
- In the Humanverse, Dumbbell comes from mixed background, but is mostly Brazilian. He is a hybrid of vague horse breeds in Ponyverse, but is very tall, muscular, and fluffy. His design is partly inspired by Lopoddity's art of him, and his father walking out on him was her idea too.
(Design description; his fur turns the color of his mane at the uncolored parts, the darkness on his ear tips and shoulder blades resemble the hue of chocolate, and the color of his hooves match that of Hoops' pelt color. I imagine his eyes as more of an icey blue than moderate azure.)
- Featherweight is the father of Apple Bloom's daughter Candy Blossom. The four prominent adults in her life share her; Feathers, AB, AB's girlfriend Diamond Tiara, and Feather's bf Pipsqueak. Dumbbell is always ready to visit his wittle granddaughter, yes yes
- Dumbbell's mother did recover from her illness after a hassle of years. It was hard, but they got there.
- Bulk Biceps enjoys a quiet, if not distant, friendship with his ex-husband. He's happy that he's a better pony now, but he wasn't going to wait for that to happen. Instead, he remarried to a strong mare by the name of Maud Pie. Featherweight's half-sibling is called Smoky Quartz.
(Since Maud is no longer with Starlight and Trixie in my verse, I've moved them around a bit. Trixie is now the wife of con-artist Flim and nature enthusiast Mudbriar, carrying their two children Willow Wisp and Wildflower, the minions of Prince Janus. I haven't decided who Starlight Glimmer is with yet- suggestions are appreciated!)
- Dumbbell's brother Hoops went onto become a local sportspony, a celebrity in Ponyville. His main gig is basketball, which to the ponies translates to punching the ball with your head or chin instead of hands. Hoops is a confident, secretly insecure boyo, that also turns into a beet red dork at the notion of romance.
Hoops is married to ex-single mother Ditzy Doo (nicknamed "Derpy Hooves" by Ponyville), and is stepfather to her daughter Dinky Doo. Hoops had his own son with her named Butterhoof after adopting a young teenage Screwball.
- Score is a tubby, socially awkward fella with social anxiety and shyness over his stunted size (he's rather short and chubby for the stallions in his family). He was the push-over type; he wasn't ever really the mean bully, but the one that would encourage him and repeat what he said. He still doesn't speak up often, but is more outspoken than he was as a child or in his early to mid 20s (which is when the show takes place to me).
Score would take a paying job in Appleloosa for a small business interested in teaching sports to the youth. There Braeburn would charm the socks off Score, impressing him with shows of his Apple strength, community influence, bravery, and the flowers he kept sending his winged co-worker. Score just couldn't refuse that daring smirk when Braeburn asked him out.
Their relationship would go strong for many years... And they still are. They're that pair that argues like a married couple before they're married (they are btw), while simultaneously they're those lovebirds that can't stop snuggling each other. The two have tons of pet names, and even more embarrassing nicknames for their son Snapple.
- Dumbbell and Rainbow Dash love to shit talk Lightning Dust together. It's one of the many things that ensured their quick romance. Other reasons include endless banter, shit talking literally everything, routine workouts where they pushed each other to the limit, racing competitions, competitions in general (they hoof-wrestle a lot), flustering the hell outta the other, etc. In short, they're jerk jocks in love.
Dumbbell's relationship with Pinkie isn't as sweetly bitchy as his with Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie loves snuggles, kisses all de time, and is a big fan of physical contact. Her love language consists of touch and/or verbal affection. Dumbbell is thankful he found someone who is always trying to teach him something new and exciting.
She likes laying on Bell's back, teaching him how to bake, helping him through his daddy issues, encouraging his pre-existing passions, and using his shadow as shade. Dumbbell is patient with Pinkie the most of all; she is a bipolar, autistic dwarf-- though she may fall hard into depression, or may not understand something right away, it doesn't mean that's bad. It just takes bit more time, and her partners are willing to give it.
- Jawbreaker and Dumbbell box all the time. Pseudo father/son bonding time
And that's all folks, my dumb hc for this one-off character that I've grown attached to, hope you enjoyed ✌️ don't take my headcanonnnn or y'know also my art. I actually redid the drawing (the other was completely different, undetailed, plain, and bland) and I'm so glad I did. This one is sooo much better you don't even know.

Edit; for some reason it's not letting me put the pictures at the top so I guess you have to read it all to see Dumbbell

Shiptober 2019 #8 - My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic OH SHIT WE BACK WITH THE PONIES While I'm a fan of various Rainbow Dash ships (Appledash, Flutterdash, Cheesedash, etc.) I've always really liked her with Dumbbell/Quibble Pants. @/Lopoddity got me into Dumbbelldash a long time ago and I enjoyed Rainbow and Quibble's dynamic in "Stranger Than Fan Fiction" so when I was figuring out which one I wanted to include in Venomverse I did what I always do and mashed them together to make This. Their relationship would be full of playful banter and snark and Rainbow would love on her jock/nerd hubbies a lot (although she's very much a nerd herself) In Venomverse they're married with 3 children; Snowsquall Stanza (DumbbellXQuibble), Catatumbo (DumbbellXRainbow) and Pristine Prose (QuibbleXRainbow). Snowsquall Stanza (originally just Snowsquall) actually started out as a ThunderDust kid before I retconned that ship out of MLP Venomverse and I threw him into this family instead! I think these 3 would be pretty fun parents :> I haven't drawn ponies since last Shiptober but I think I'm getting the hang of it again? I'd really like to draw more MLP stuff but my monkey brain is so used to drawing felines and canines that drawing hooves confuses me and I get frustrated easily, which is why I don't do it as often as I'd like ;;;

WOW I somehow forgot to post this here!! Y’all are getting two posts today babey!
Anyways here’s the QuibbleDashBellSky family concept art! Btw, Wind Sprint is no longer with Toola Roola and Coconut Cream! They’re together on their own, whereas Wind is now with Peach Fuzz--they have a kid named Gold Dust :] Other than that and some other changes/additions to HCs that aren’t shown here, the notes for these guys are below the cut!
💙 Gilda the Griffon - Ex-Girlfriend of Rainbow Dash, wife of Dragon Lord Ember. Mother of Galah Fallstreak Dash and Princex Sardonyx Snapdragon. Occasional Baker. Griffon. Trans Female (She/her), Lesbian 💙 I was afraid I was gonna draw her weird but I'm happy with how she came out,,,i love you emotionally constipated butch bird 💙 Rainbow Dash - Younger sister of Rainbow Blaze, Rainbowshine, Rainbow Drop, Northern Lights, Rainbow Swoop and Rainy Day. Ex-Girlfriend of Gilda the Griffon, wife of Dumbbell, Clear Sky and Quibble Pants. Mother of Galah Fallstreak Dash (bio), Wind Sprint (step), Snowsquall Stanza, Catatumbo Dash (bio), Pristine Prose (bio) and Red Herring. Wonderbolt. Element of Loyalty. Member of the Council of Friendship. Teacher at the School of Friendship. Has ADHD and autism. Was born premature. Pegasus. Bigender (She/her, He/him), Bi 💙 I got the HC that Rainbow has all those siblings from hateful-minds, who doesn't have an account anymore afaik but I've always liked that idea so I used it as well. ALSO she has glasses cause I'm very fond of jock/egghead combo Rainbow. She probably hosts a book club and maybe moonlights as a librarian reading Daring Do books to children? Idk thinking about Rainbow Dash reading to a group of kids like my old elementary school librarian used to do with my classes makes me :] 💙 Horseshoe Comet - Ex-Boyfriend of Clear Sky. Father of Wind Sprint. Ex-Ice Archer. Gambler at Las Pegasus. Earth Pony. Agender (He/him mainly), Bi 💙 Originally I paired him with Nurse Fahrenheit, but retconned that when I decided to make him Wind's dad. I don't think he was an abusive partner to Clear but I do think he was fairly absent and not emotionally attached, and was far more focused on having fun than raising a family. He and Wind probably had a close relationship though (he was the typical cool dad compared to the somewhat strict Clear), so when they separated she didn't take it too well. Considering Quibble says Wind's father was a big athlete, maybe Comet was a star athlete in high school who hit it big, and he met Clear at an event and the two hit it off? Either way, Comet was more interested in the fame and money that came with his job, and perhaps after he retired early from an injury he used his savings to fulfill his gambling spree, which lead to distrust on Clear's end who had little to no support from him in the first place and was raising their child? Idk, just spitballing at this point 💙 Clear Sky - Ex-Girlfriend of Horseshoe Comet, wife of Rainbow Dash, Dumbbell and Quibble Pants. Mother of Wind Sprint (bio), Galah Fallstreak Dash (step), Snowsquall Stanza, Catatumbo Dash, Pristine Prose and Red Herring (bio). Unicorn. Trans Mare (She/her), Pan 💙 I don't have any ideas of what occupation she might have, but maybe she was a cheerleader in high school, which is how she met Horseshoe? 💙 Dumbbell - Husband of Rainbow Dash, Quibble Pants and Clear Sky. Father of Wind Sprint (step), Galah Fallstreak Dash (step), Snowsquall Stanza (bio), Catatumbo Dash (bio), Pristine Prose and Red Herring. Ex-Bully. Weather Factory Worker. Weightlifter/Powerlifter. Pegasus. Cis Stallion (He/him), Bi 💙 Nothing to add here I just think he's neat,,,thank you Lopoddity for introducing me to Dumbdash 💙 Quibble Pants - Older brother of Nitpick. Husband of Rainbow Dash, Dumbbell and Clear Sky. Father of Wind Sprint (step), Galah Fallstreak Dash (step), Snowsquall Stanza (bio), Catatumbo Dash, Pristine Prose (bio)  and Red Herring (bio). Author. Writing Critic. Has autism. Dyes his hair. Earth Pony. Demiboy (He/him, They/them), Queer 💙 I really like the HC that Quibble is naturally blonde and dyes his hair gray to look more like Daring Do, whadda nerd. His dappled markings are inspired by Lopoddity's design of Mudbriar (who is with Quibble in her verse), and also Quibs is chubby because I like to think he is god bless 💙 Dragon Lord Ember - Wife of Gilda. Mother of Princex Sardonyx Snapdragon. Ruler of the Dragon Lands. Dragon. Cis Female (She/her), Bi 💙 Not much to say about her! First time drawing a dragon in a hot minute, and I think she came out pretty good. She was in a relationship with her friends Spike and Thorax for a good while, and although they've since broken up they're still very close. Honey Locust, Mantis and Ladybird consider her a mother figure! 💙 Wind Sprint - Daughter of Horseshoe Comet and Clear Sky, stepdaughter of Dumbbell, Rainbow Dash and Quibble Pants. Older step-sister of Galah Fallstreak Dash, older half-sister of Snowsquall Stanza, Catatumbo Dash, Pristine Prose and Red Herring. Wife of Toola Roola and Coconut Cream. Wonderbolt Reserve. Buckball Player. Pegasus. Nonbinary (She/her and They/them mainly), Lesbian 💙 Added another color to her hair to make it more similar to Clear! Gets her pink eyes/pegasus genes from either Horseshoe or Clear's side of the family. She was originally going to be a Rainbow/Clear kid but after I watched some clips of her episode I decided to make her Horseshoe's kid instead. Regardless, she both looks the part for a Rainbow/Clear kid and still works as a Horseshoe/Clear kid :] 💙 Toola Roola - Younger sister of Holly Dash. Wife of Wind Sprint and Coconut Cream. Artist. Occasional dancer. Earth Pony. Demigirl (She/her, They/them), Bi 💙 I'm sorry I don't have any major HCs for Toola or Coconut,,,I haven't fully watched their episode yet (I watched a clip or two) so I had to look at their G3 equivalents for some help. If y'all have any ideas for them I'd love to hear it! 💙 Coconut Cream - Wife of Wind Sprint and Toola Roola. Counselor (?). Earth Pony. Cis Mare (She/her), Lesbian 💙 Galah Fallstreak Dash - Son of Gilda the Griffon and Rainbow Dash, stepson of Clear Sky, Dumbbell and Quibble Pants. Younger step-brother of Wind Sprint, older half-brother of Snowsquall Stanza, Princex Sardonyx Snapdragon, Catatumbo Dash, Pristine Prose and Red Herring. Hoofball Quarterback. Hippogryph. 30 y/o. Genderfluid (He/him mainly), Toric. 💙 Likes sports, fish, BBQ and flying. Was originally a Garble/Gilda NG named Vulcano, whose name changed to solely Galah before I made him a Gildadash kid. He's heavily inspired by @/fastserve's Blue Skies Blitz and @/owlcoholik's Heathcliff, and his design is based on galah cockatoos! Looks intimidating but is a jock with a heart of gold. Lowkey looks like he should be a part of a rock band with his face markings (maybe he will be in the future). Probably towers over his siblings but they all adore him, and he gives great hugs. Maybe tutors/babysits younger kids on the side. Special talent is playing Hoofball 💙 Snowsquall Stanza - Son of Dumbbell and Quibble Pants, stepson of Clear Sky and Rainbow Dash. Younger half-brother of Wind Sprint and Galah Fallstreak Dash, older half-brother of Princex Sardonyx Snapdragon, Catatumbo Dash, Pristine Prose and Red Herring. Figure Skater. Has autism. Earth Pony. 28 y/o. Cis Stallion (He/him), Gay. 💙 Likes hanging out with his younger siblings, skating, winter and minty drinks. Was originally a Thunderlane/Lightning Dust kid solely named 'Snowsquall'. Kind at heart but competitive on the ice. Probably got his scar from training. Wondering if I should make him a lowkey expy of Yuuri Katsuki from Yuri!!! On Ice. Considering having him and Wintergreen Dream (son of Double Diamond and Night Glider) be a thing, because his special talent is brewing anxiety-reducing drinks and he's probably a regular at his shop getting his daily caffeine kick before major skating events, and maybe flirting a lil on the side. Also they both have wintry-themed names so idk it'd be cute. Special talent is figure skating 💙 Princex Sardonyx Snapdragon - Child of Dragon Lord Ember and Gilda the Griffon. Younger half-sibling of Wind Sprint, Galah Fallstreak Dash and Snowsquall Stanza, older half-sibling of Catatumbo Dash, Pristine Prose and Red Herring. Crown Princex of the Dragon Lands. Lapidarist. Dragriffon. 26 y/o. Genderfluid (They/them mainly), Aro/Ace. 💙 Had a lot of fun designing them! Much like how Galah is based on galah cockatoos, Sardonyx is based on the hornbill! Donnie here is kinda an asshole but it's just because they've got a huge ego. They have a rivalry with their eldest half-sibling, Galah, and when the two play hoofball it can get pretty rough. Galah is a Quarterback and is pretty good at what he does but throwing Donnie into the mix keeps him on his toes. Sardonyx thinks they're one of the prettiest things to cross the Dragon Lands (and frankly all of Gaia), and although they have no genuine interest in relationships and stuff like that they are known to entertain others trying to court them in exchange for attention/gifts (and when you're the child of the Dragon Lord, that's very common). When they're working, however, they can show a seriousness and focus that is rarely seen on the Crown Princex. 💙 Catatumbo Dash - Child of Dumbbell and Rainbow Dash, stepchild of Clear Sky and Quibble Pants. Younger half-sibling of Wind Sprint, Galah Fallstreak Dash, Snowsquall Stanza and Princex Sardonyx Snapdragon, older half-sibling of Pristine Prose and Red Herring. Meteorologist. Has ADHD and autism. Pegasus. 25 y/o. Nonbinary (He/him mainly), Aro/Bi. 💙 Likes studying weather, rainstorms, hiking and weightlifting. Smart and knows it. Cutthroat at times but friendly in his own strange way once you get to know him. Has severe RBF. Wears pink glasses and dares you to make fun of him for it. Rarely smiles but that doesn't mean he isn't happy. Lifts weights with his dad to relieve tension from work and day-to-day life. Special talent is weather magic 💙 Pristine Prose - Daughter of Quibble Pants and Rainbow Dash, stepdaughter of Clear Sky and Dumbbell. Younger half-sister of Wind Sprint, Galah Fallstreak Dash, Snowsquall Stanza, Princex Sardonyx Snapdragon and Catatumbo Dash, older half-sister of Red Herring. Physical Therapist. Has ADHD. Pegasus. 22 y/o. Cis Mare (She/her), Lesbian. 💙 Likes writing, caring for others, sunny days and discussing Daring Do lore with her dad. Design is kinda inspired by flashback Safe Side Super Chick, because I still adore her to this day and she was one of my first gay crushes so why not immortalize her in my silly pony kid. She also kinda resembles the lesbian flag which was not intended but is appreciated nonetheless. Has heterochromia; her other eye is yellow. Very bubbly and easily excitable. Takes her job seriously and does what she can to help other ponies. Falls in love with all the pretty ladies she sometimes helps out. Special talent is rehabilitating ponies; maybe she got it helping Galah take care of a sports injury he got? 💙 Red Herring - Son of Quibble Pants and Clear Sky, stepson of Dumbbell and Rainbow Dash. Younger half-brother of Wind Sprint, Galah Fallstreak Dash, Snowsquall Stanza, Princex Sardonyx Snapdragon, Catatumbo Dash and Pristine Prose. Author/Ghost Writer. Journalist. Has autism. Unicorn. 19 y/o. Transmasculine/Nonbinary (He/him, They/them, Xey/xem), Demisexual Toric. 💙 Like writing, coffee and donuts, book clubs and a good debate. Chubby like his dad. Has a very relaxed and chill personality; unless they're passionate about a subject they don't get too heated. Might be mentored under Ahuizotl and A.K. Yearling. Was slightly inspired by @/ktCATSbone's QuibbleSky NG Collaboration. Xey and Pristine probably get into long-winded discussions about Daring Do lore (with Quibble and Rainbow probably jumping in at some point). Special talent is writing mystery novels
