OTPI've decided that Rainbow Dash/Quibble Pants is a canon ship in my Next Gen! From the get-go I absolutely loved Quibble, not only because he's voiced by one of my favorite comedians, Patton Oswalt, but also for his critical/analytical personality, which I can totally relate to, hehe. He was just one of the smartest, funniest, most cynical character I had seen from the show, and I grew a very fond attachment to his and RD's friendship.If you recall, I have already made some next gen characters for RD, Iris Gale and Sun Flare , children she had with Fluttershy's brother, Zephyr Breeze. The relationship between her and Zephyr was complicated and very much a mistake on both their parts, as they didn't really love each other, and the kids were born out of a one-night stand. They both tried to make the best of the situation, even briefly married for about two and a half years out of obligation, but RD and Zeph found they just couldn't live/cooperate with one another as functioning parents, so they decided to split and share parental duties instead. Zephyr was still a father figure in their life, though not as constant a parent as Rainbow Dash.While they were still currently in their rocky marriage, RD and Quibble met unexpectedly at a convention after they hadn't seen each other in years (though they communicated every so often through mail, they eventually lost track of one another as their lives progressed). They reignited their friendship, both of them already with steady occupations, RD as a fully-fledged Wonderbolt, and Quibble as an up-and-coming fiction writer, looking for places that would publish his books in Ponyville's general area. RD found someone she could confide her struggles with, as she was hesitant to tell the rest of the girls of her issues with Zephyr and their marriage, as it could affect all of them, specifically Fluttershy, and Quibble was eager to help and listen to her, as she was the one who showed him that the real world, not just fiction, could be adventurous, and proved to be a great inspiration to him in his works. RD would frequently visit Quibble, and soon their friendship evolved into romance, leaving RD in a difficult position. Zephyr had already suspected RD was having an affair, but, like RD, he hadn't wanted to cause any worry between the rest of the Mane 6, so both he and RD decided to talk their situation out and promptly decided it was best to just split up. RD kept her relationship with Quibble a secret from Iris and Flare for a while, however, not wanting them to be confused, or to put Quibble in a fatherly position when he himself was uneasy about assuming the role. Once the kids were in their pre-teens, RD confessed to them, which did strain her relationship for a short amount of time with Iris, but in the end, the Dash family is happy.I drew RD in her academy outfit because I thought she could use it as a training outfit instead of the full-body suit (plus I love the design). Tried giving Quibble a writer's look, scruffy beard, flannel and all, hehe. Not exactly proud with how I drew him, however, his face is totally off and I feel like I drew him to make him seem more handsome than what he actually looks like. Hm, well, I'll work on it. I was going to draw Quibble reading a book, but I forgot in the end, lol.What do you guys think? I think this is one of my favorite ships in my next gen so far! Enjoy, guys!Rainbow Dash, Quibble Pants, Zephyr Breeze, and MLP belong to the Pony Gods.Iris Gale and Sun Flare belong to me.
