Description
A couple of very Dashing kids. Initially, I planned for Soarin to be their father but then I shifted from mainly shipping Soarindash to Thunderdash. Part of it’s cuz I thought it’d be interesting to combine Dashie and Thunderlane’s colors (rainbow mane and black coat? sounds badass), another part’s cuz Dashie’s a character I wanted to try a less popular/mainstream ship with. But then I also felt it’d be cute for them to have a friends to lovers thing going on. So here’re the results of that friends to lovers romance, Thunder Blaze (upper left) and Cloud Buster (lower right)! CB’s one of my next gen pones who had an old design…not that he changed much, lol (I just adjusted his colors).
Some more info below👇
- Thunder Blaze was partially named after her maternal great-uncle, Rainbow Blaze, since he’s Dash’s favorite uncle.
- Cloud Buster has a condition wherein he sheds a lot of feathers, hence his expression in the drawing. Thankfully, it doesn’t look like he’ll go completely bald, but he still leaves a lot of stray feathers. He’s basically like a pug, lol.
- They have that kind of relationship where they bicker, tease, and annoy each other a lot. So basically they’re like the typical siblings. While they do love each other, they’re hesitant and embarrassed to admit it, much less say it out loud.
- Between the two of them, Thunder Blaze has a longer wingspan, something she likes to lord over her younger brother. It’s this fact that’s one of Cloud Buster’s sore spots.
- Dinky Hooves was Cloud Buster’s first crush. She had been introduced to him when Thunderlane bumped into his friend Derpy while the two of them were spending a day out with one of their kids. Cloud Buster would swear up and down that it was love at first sight when he saw the purple unicorn.
- Neither of them were really interested in joining the Wonderbolts, much to Dash’s exasperation. Thunder Blaze did decide to try out the entrance tests but saw that it wasn’t truly her calling, so she opted out of it, while Cloud Buster didn’t really try due to lack of interest and being much lazier compared to his sister. It took lots of heart-to-heart talking, mostly from her husband, but Dash eventually relented and accepted that they wanted to follow their own paths.
- For the most part, Cloud Buster’s pretty chill and laidback…until you insult him or his friends and/or family, then he gets really defensive. If it’s his flying skills that are insulted/criticized, he gets outright competitive.
- Cloud Buster’s quite fond of his uncle Rumble and until now, he’s his #1 fan. He’s been his most avid supporter since day one and encouraged him to keep trying for the Wonderbolts despite his personal disinterest in them. Normally, he wouldn’t really watch any of their performances, but a show where Rumble participates is the sole exception to this.
- Thunder Blaze is allergic to peanuts, a fact that she’s embarrassed about. She’s tried multiple times to “build up tolerance” but all of these attempts have landed her in the hospital. Really, the only thing stopping her from trying once again is her mother telling her that one more peanut stunt and she’s sending her to Tartarus.
- In her pre-teen years, Thunder Blaze had an emo/goth/punk phase, much to Thunderlane’s exasperation and Dash’s confusion. During this phase, she would dye her mane black and red, wear lots of (sticker) tattooes, play off-key on a bass guitar and write (cringey) poems and songs. Pictures of herself during this phase are Cloud Buster’s leverage against her when he needs a favor from her.
