Doodle page of one of my ships, Trixie and Pharynx and their child Gimmick!



Trixie tried to keep her pregnancy a secret, though it was very obvious to everyone (Starlight would question who the father was, but Trixie just said it was a little weight gain. Then get annoyed and say how rude it was to point a flaw to the great and powerful Trixie!) But Pharynx would always come and visit her offering baby things and foods that were good for a changeling baby. Which doesn't help if she was trying to keep it a secret, so the both of them usually got into an argument.



Pharynx would then nuzzle, kiss, or hug the angry mommy to be - it got her to shut up for a good few minutes.



One of Trixie's biggest fears during her pregnancy was that the bug-baby would eat her insides then burst out of her stomach. Pharynx just gave her a 'are-you-serious' stare. But, then he would go along with that idea and tell her more dramatic/gruesome details about how the baby would probably slowly digest her insides into a liquid to then eat. But then Trixie was about to faint, Pharynx quickly apologized not wanting Trixie to get hurt or harm the baby by passing out. She got revenge by ignoring him for the rest of the day. He was not happy about that, but won't openly admit to begging for her forgiveness which she happily likes to bring up.



Gimmick as a young pony/changeling hybrid. Super cute and curious about everything! Gimmick had strange patches of fur that oddly made Trixie think he looked like a lion. Though he also reminded her of a moth. Just before Gimmick was born, Trixie moved to a more isolated area not too far from Ponyville, mostly because she didn't want more questions brought up about her secret relationship with Pharynx after her baby was born. Pharynx helped deliver Gimmick since Trixie was being stubborn and refused to go to the hospital. Lucky both Trixie and Gimmick were fine and Pharnyx brought over a changeling midwife to help with the rest.



Gimmick didn't have much of an interest in simple tricks and magic like his mother, but he did enjoy card tricks! His favorite card being the Spade card. Which he bases his 'pony form' and cutie mark from. Gimmick is a ringmaster. Though, his show is a little different from the regular circuses you would see. Gimmick focuses on building a circus of fear, forming himself into multiple monsters and beasts to scare ponies.



Trixie and Pharynx both have describe how they had faced different challenges when they were alone and didn't seek other's for help. (Members of Gimmick's circus are those who are desperate or runaways. Easier to get what he wants without actually getting his hands dirty) Trixie; before she made friends with Starlight and put her focus on being powerful and Pharynx when he tried to continue living the normal Changeling way, shunning away his comrades and brother. Ultimately, this influenced some of Gimmick's thoughts about looking out for himself. Even if both his parents explained that is not the path to follow.



Gimmick is more of a traveler and not staying in one place too long. Making different appearances in different places to try and scam ponies out of their gems and gold. His focus is on himself alone and if that means he has to use other's fears to get the advantage, then he will. Usually playing the role of the nice guy and looking like it to gain trust, which he then quickly breaks once he gets what he wants.
