These have been sitting in my folder for a while now. They’re sketches from when I was at Ponycon 2017 which I totally forgot about.

The first one is a ship that occurred to me for some reason I can’t recall. I was thinking of ships and thought of a funny scenario with Lightening Dust and Coco Pommel. In my verse, Lightening and Coco both grew up in Manehatten and were foalhood friends. Lightening left the city to join the Wonderbolts while Coco stayed in the city to follow her dream of making clothes. Some time after Coco became a bit more famous in her neighborhood, Lightening showed up, needing a place to crash. Coco originally refused but eventually relented. They became roommates and later lovers. They are super close.

The last two features my Fallout Equestria OC’s, Peppermint Swirl and Bugbreath (not his real name). Their relationship is strange but all their own. Peppermint is a ‘former’ Enclave soldier who came to the surface to search for her brother. Bugbreath is a post war changeling who tried to rob her and ended up becoming her slave. She literally sniffed him out of a crowd. He follows her and ends up falling for her because, despite being a selfish, violent and crazy mare, she is also the most loyal and loving pony he’s ever met in the wasteland.

Picture 1: Peppermint and Bugbreath spending a night staring at the stars. She’s telling him about stuff he doesn’t want to know but she tells him anyway… She is bragging about all the stallions she’s screwed and hes a bit jelly.

Picture 2: After a major battle, Peppermint laughs off her near death experience as ‘a fun way to kill time’. Bugbreath is not a amused. He berates her for being so carefree about her life.

BugBreath: You could have died!

Peppermint Swirl: I didn’t though.

BugBreath: That doesn’t mean you should be so damn irresponsible with your life. You only have one. Think of others, for once, Pepper.

Peppermint Swirl: Don’t get all bent out of shape, buggy. My death won’t kill ya, as I told you.

BugBreath: That’s not the problem…

Peppermint Swirl: …Then why are you so upset?

BugBreath: W-why?! Why do you think, you drunken idiot?!

Peppermint Swirl: Uh… You don’t wanna go hungry?

BugBreath: …You… You fucking idiot! [pulls her into a kiss]

Peppermint Swirl: [flinches but doesn’t move]

BugBreath: …Damn it, why did I have to fall for a retard like you…
