“Your first kiss was a sweet kiss,

Second kiss had a twist,

Third and your fourth kiss,

I don’t want to miss…”

—

Just Cadence and Big Macintosh in a moment alone together — haven’t drawn these two together in quite a while and that’s a shame because I love these two together.

They’re so young and relaxed and in love, just enjoying the comfort of each other’s company with all the stress and the masks stripped away — it’s a testament to how comfortable Cadence is that she’s freely letting her horn show, for my teen Cadence that’s a sign of trust that she only extends to Big Macintosh.

Big Macintosh as a punk rock cowboy in his teen years is one of my favorite headcanons — look at this shy sweetheart with his slicked back hair and black neckerchief and spike cuffs… bless his heart. He looks like the bad boy who corrupted the good girl when really he’s the lovestruck good boy happily following his troublemakin’ gal wherever she goes and making sure she’s safe and not going overboard. He gets into a lot more trouble with her than he would on his own and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
