Description 1) Flirty flirty bird and nerd brains. Quibble is descendant of Fjord ponies; a minority group in Equestria that lives near Yakyakistan. Rainbow also has incredibly strong wings that produce an ungodly amount of Wing Power, which makes lifting her small boyfriend quite easy compared to battling hurricane winds 

2) Rainbow was super certain her first kid would be a pegasus, so much so Quibble couldn't take it anymore and decided to make a wager. If she lost, Quibble would be allowed to pick the name of the foal. When Rainbow eventually lost at the birth of Conundrum Solar Flare - Rainbow was sore over it, so Quibble was kind enough to offer her part of the kid's name - she was initially just a tad disappointed she wouldn't have her little Wonderbolt prodigy, but as soon as she held Connie, it was simply love at first sight. Rainbow loves her kids, but she also loves rubbin it in her smug husband's face when little Plumeria pops out four years later 

3) Windy Whistles and Bow Hothoof lost their first foal to complications at birth, which contributed to the eventual showering love and obsession with Rainbow Dash. Every milestone was a miracle to them, and they couldn't be happier when their perfect daughter had an equally perfect baby. One that was super fluffy to boot

4) Plumeria when she first learns to fly. She's a natural at it, and Rainbow is overjoyed 

 Oh some notes on Quibble and Rainbow's homelife: Quibble is a writer. Specifically he loves to write true crime fiction, romance novels and essay anthologies. While he's a stay-at-home dad, he's often very busy trying to make deadlines and take care of his kids. Connie definitely took after their father, meaning the two like to argue. A lot. But little Plumeria is daddy's little princess who can do no wrong. 

 Rainbow Dash is the Captain of the Wonderbolts and is not home as often as she would like. She's sent out on diplomatic excursions with the Princesses, airshows, and true military work as well. While the Wonderbolts are more geared for airshows, they are still a homeland defense squadron and each member is well trained to face any threat to come to Equestria. There have been nights where Rainbow is called to duty when a suspicious group of ponies tried to smuggle out rare animals for the illegal pet trade in Klugetown. Unfortunately, being the primary military force in Equestria, the Wonderbolts are called for a variety of problems. Rainbow sometimes feels kind of detached from her family, and so makes the most of her time at home...usually with greater focus on Plumeria.

Just a little development on the Rainbow kids. There will be more focused on them more personally!

Considering none of the parents got much/any pink on them, where did the children's pink come from? I love Plumeria's design and story!

I’ve gotten this question before, and while I’m still not exactly sure, in the story itself, I’m thinking it comes from the rainbow gene.

But really it’s just a color I exaggerated after mixing rainbow and quibble’s colors together lol

Awesome artwork! always love learning more about their familes and relationships! i did notice that Rainbow in the last pic flying with her babie, she had horse shoes on. is that due to the work as military ponies? like uniform?

Exactly! It also protects their hooves from hard landings or rough conditions. Kind of like protecting your landing gear.

Thank you! I was tempted to make Rainbow more colorful than she is, but it seemed like too much, especially contrasted with Quibs!

The idea of Quibble and Rainbow placing a bet on whether they'll have an Earth pony or a pegasus is just...so PERFECT for them, I love it.

In case it wasn't obvious, I really like fjord horses, so this headcanon is objectively great.

Seriously though, really cute and I love the markings on Dash's wings!

Remember that time when Wonderbolts were acting as a military unit and got completely destroyed by Spike?

I think they should stick to performing and Equestria needs to revamp their military so they don't get thrashed in every single invasion.

Loryska In reply to Nautilus18 [2019-11-22 18:47:35 +0000 UTC]

 Oh boy, as someone with close ties to former and current military pilots, the thrashin' the Wonderbolts get is laughable and pretty disappointing. I wanted to make them just as good as the Blue Angels as a stunt team, but also just as capable of battle if the need arises. It seems like there was a lot of drama and immoral attitudes among their ranks, which while not unusual for military factions, is still ridiculous. At the moment they're just puffed up jerks that don't take their job seriously. I'm thinking that under Rainbow Dash's leadership, they might shape up and actually become a respectable team. I know, I know, the whole point of crippling them is to bolster our main characters...but jeez. They just suck lol

First order of business, using actual weapons and not hoping we don't splatter against a dragon's hide going 70mph trying to use our bodies as battering rams.

MiyaLaFlorDorada [2019-11-22 12:04:36 +0000 UTC]

Ohhh this is so cute! I love the Quibble design.
I wonder how Rainbow took that her daughter didn't want to be a Wonderbolt?
For my part in my universe my four Rainbow kids are pegasus, but they have talents that have nothing to do with the Wonderbolt/fly and those who have the ability and skills to be one badass flyer... Well, they have no interest in being it. Can you imagine how its that for someone like Rainbow?
The truth, I think I did that because I like irony XD

Loryska In reply to MiyaLaFlorDorada [2019-11-22 12:17:00 +0000 UTC]

Haha it really seems like a running trend amongst us NG artists to not give RD a break with a Wonderbolt kid. To be fair though, Plume would do anything to make her mom happy, so if it’s a Wonderbolt she wants, that’s what she gets

MiyaLaFlorDorada In reply to Loryska [2019-11-22 12:34:00 +0000 UTC]

Yeah right?! I thought only I had noticed XD
Maybe it's a way to teach Rainbow to not be so blind for her ego so often? I mean having ego is good but it can be bad if it clouds your decisions and hurts those around you. I have seen many parents like Rainbow who unconsciously dream through their children, hoping they are like them but on the road they stress and hurt their children with not very healthy expectations.
In my verse, this bit her back and the whole family had to learn friendship lesson, especially Rainbow SO MUCH DRAMA ฅ(º ロ º ฅ)
