1.) "...Finnegan, I love you terribly."
from my notes: Oddball really, really likes it whenever Finn decides to serenade him. Straight-laced Odd is almost impossible to fluster, but every so often, Finnie manages it~
2.) "It's never dark forever. We'll find the light again together."
Cloudburst is almost perpetually depressed, but most ponies only see her chill, playful exterior. Cloudy tries to be a funny, low maintenance friend, because she's secretly afraid of anybody seeing beneath the surface and being repelled. This means Cloudy's rather out of touch with her own feelings, and tends to putter along thinking she's doing okay, riiiight up until she's having a full blown panic attack, or sprawled out on her bedroom floor for three days straight.
PB Sandwich also struggles with bouts of depression and anxiety. Having been subject to his parents' "Smile Smile Smile!" brand of relentless cheer, he's been suppressing all less-than-chipper feelings for most of his life. It is only in adulthood, and after befriending Midnight, that he learns that sometimes it's okay to not be okay.
As with mama Pinkie Pie, PB's hair loses its bouncy curls when he's feeling down. He used to anxiously wash and blowdry his mane to disguise his somber mood (Pinkie and Cheese love their youngest child dearly and panic at the slightest hint of a frown), but he has slowly stopped doing this. He's most certainly not going to pressure Cloudy to turn her frown upside-down or try to cheer her up with a single bubbly musical number. Unless, of course, that's what she wants. PB has an accordion and can whip it out fast enough to break the sound barrier. More likely though, he'll just quietly keep her company as they watch the sun set together- and maybe they'll both come out of the day maybe not quite feeling happy, per say, but maybe just a little more supported, a little less lost....a lot less alone. And sometimes, that's enough.
