Here I am again! This one took me longer than predicted, mainly because of the eye-bleeding quantity of yellow that I couldn't bear anymore. Candy colours have started to annoy me ç_ç

Anyway, the poses were really fun to (re)draw and I could finally enjoy some good wing "anatomy", which I had been frankly missing. I also had the chance to do Discord, which I had abandoned for quite some time - JUST LOOK AT HIS CLAW, IT FINALLY LOOKS RIGHT! I had missed drawing this guy and had almost forgotten how much fun he is. And, plus, it had been a while since I last drew my number 2 pairing <3

Well, let's go with Fluttershy's headcanon!







2 Years Old

Fluttershy was born a little heavier than the average, but much smaller. Her parents didn't imagine she would have become a slender and beautiful mare, especially when they watched her stumble on her own hooves while trying to gallop. The young filly loved to curl up next to her parents, but most against the green body of her mother. She, however, never really appreciated it very much, and often avoided these types of contact with her daughter. Fluttershy also enjoyed picking up her father's feathers, then gather them and sleep on the soft nest she had somehow created. The filly never suffered cold temperatures because she's covered in warm plumage: she has covert feathers on her back, shoulders, neck and chest - just to make a comparison, think of Rainbow Dash or Twilight, who have light plumage only on their low-back and barely around the shoulders.



6 Years Old

Still unable to fly, Fluttershy was very playful and loved making friends. However, at Flight School, her teacher was starting to expect something more than simply hovering one or two meters above the ground. Now more than half of the classroom could fly quite well, and there were also some foals who had learned how to fly at a very young age. Fluttershy barely could. It was now that her already best friend Rainbow Dash (they have known each other since they were little fillies) began to stand for her against bullies who made fun of the yellow Pegasus.



17 Years Old

After the suicide of her mother, Flutterhy and Rainbow Dash's bond intensified. Also because Flutters went living by Dash's family, the two fillies spent almost all of their time together. They had fun, walked in the stillness of the meadows below Cloudsdale or took naps leaning on one another. Fluttershy improved greatly her flying skills thanks to the blue Pegasus, who's one year younger than her. And since she had to take care of her new sister, Rainbow was not as daredevil and she always refrained from doing stupid things. Such angelic behaviour, however, lasted very little time: soon Rainbow Dash started following her reckless instincts again and got into trouble day in, day out. At late night, the fillies used to curl up against each other; the older would whisper words of comfort as her adopting sister wept silently and ruefully after confessing what she'd done.



21 Years Old

Gentle, shy, delicate and beautiful, Fluttershy loves her friends more than anything else. As years pass, and as she becomes even more beautiful, stallions won't give up hoping to date her, and will always ask her. But since the Pegasus isn't really interested, she'll just keep their names: she loves seeing Rainbow's face becoming green for envy every time the yellow filly counts how many suitors she has.



42 Years Old

It was Discord the one who confessed his love for the yellow Pegasus first. Fluttershy had always feared he'd reject her and consider her nothing more than a friend, so she was glad to tell him she reciprocated his feelings. They got married after a few years and Fluttershy gave birth to their daughter Swan not much later. Discord loves his "princesses", as he calls them, more each passing day and would do anything for them. He even took them to his reign of Chaos once or twice and, even though Swan declared it was the most exciting thing ever, Fluttershy doesn't really agree with her and prefers the tranquility of their small cottage. Nothing ever impeded the God to bring part of his empire in the small garden facing the household when Flutterhy's away, though.
