Bigg Sketch Dump
It’s finally done! I’ve been working on this on and off between grid adopts for the past two weeks. Hope y’all enjoy!! Btw strong language warning! There is some cursing in here, so beware if that bothers you!

__

1. This is Tornado Blitz, the ex husband of Rainbow Dash and the father of Cyclone and Sleetstorm. In the canon show, Tornado Blitz wasn’t shown until the last episode, “The Last Problem”, and he was an unnamed Wonderbolt. However, in this universe, he is a much more prevalent character. Tornado is the son of Wind Rider and Clear Sky, and the twin brother of Lightning Dust and older brother of Wind Sprint. Tornado always dreamed of being like his father, despite how absent Wind Rider was. Tornado was shown very little affection from his father during his childhood. The most he would get most of the time was a hair ruffle and a “hey, sport”. Wind Rider was tough on both Tornado and Lightning, telling them that if they wanted to live up to his legacy, they needed to try harder. Train more, fly better, make him proud. Tornado also grew up around Wind Rider’s disloyalty. He couldn’t help but notice his father looking at other mares, spending less and less time with mom, and treating mom like an object. That was his example as he grew up into a stallion, and in this case, the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree. Tornado is an arrogant and manipulative pony, who is willing to do anything to get what he wants, even if he hurts others around him. Tornado is not close with any of his family members. He resents Lightning Dust for getting expelled from the Wonderbolt Academy. She soiled their father’s name! She couldn’t be forgiven. And Wind Sprint? His father said that Wind Sprint wasn’t his foal, so Wind Sprint is no sister of his. Tornado doesn’t acknowledge her existence, and has only spoken to Wind Sprint a handful of times if at all. As for Clear Sky, Windrider blames her for causing the divorce, so Tornado does as well. He hasn’t talked to his mother in years, despite her trying to reach out multiple times. The only one Tornado is remotely close to is his father, but his father is distant and bitter towards him. So in the end Tornado Blitz really has no one in his life.


2. Lightning Dust, the former captain of the Washouts, daughter of Clear Sky and Windrider, twin sister of Tornado Blitz, and older sister of Wind Sprint. Like her brother, Lightning Dust grew up influenced by her father’s poor example and unfortunately grew up to be arrogant, reckless, and manipulative. She wanted to be just like her father, a famous Wonderbolt, a living legend. So, she joined the Wonderbolt Academy. However, she joined a while before her brother did, so she was in the same class as Rainbow Dash. We all know the events that resulted in Lightning’s expulsion from the academy. After her expulsion, her father was enraged. She tainted his good name! Now everyone will know that Windrider’s daughter failed to become a Wonderbolt, she became a nobody! Tornado wasn’t very pleased either, and grew distant towards Lightning. The only one who still supported Lightning was her mother. After Windrider and Clear Sky got a divorce, Windrider tried to turn the blame onto Clear Sky. Tornado Blitz bought into it, desperately trying to gain the approval of his father. Lightning Dust did not blame her mother, but for a long while, she was a bit cold towards Clear Sky. She didn’t know how to deal with the hurt of having her father practically disown her and her own twin brother hate her, so she bottled it up and became sour. Lightning Dust doesn’t hate Wind Sprint as much as Tornado does, but she is distant with her. She tries to be nice to the filly, but Lightning can’t help but sometimes blame Wind Sprint to be a reason her parents split.


3. Wind Sprint is the youngest daughter of Windrider and Clear Sky, however Windrider would argue that he isn’t the father. Soon after their divorce, Clear Sky discovered she was pregnant. She insisted that Wind Sprint was his child, but Windrider seems to be denying it until the end. Despite this, Windrider still has to pay child support, which he is far from pleased about. Wind Sprint has visited her father occasionally, and being young, doesn’t realize the full extent of who her father is. All Wind understands is that her dad is famous, and she wants to be just like him! This is seen when Clear Sky and Quibble Pants start dating, and Clear Sky was initially critical of Quibble for not being a super awesome super famous Wonderbolt! But as Wind Sprint gets older, she understands the full gravity of what Windrider has done and pretty much disowned him as a father, and accepted Quibble Pants as her true father.


4. Clear Sky met Windrider when she was a young and naive 19 year old. She was an absolute Wonderbolt fangirl, her room was covered in posters and she owned almost every piece of merch imaginable. One day, Clear Sky won a raffle prize which was a ticket to a front seat at a Wonderbolts show in Canterlot plus a backstage pass which allowed you to meet the Wonderbolts in person! Clear Sky was absolutely ecstatic when she received the prize, and when she finally got to go backstage to meet the Wonderbolts, that is when she met Windrider. Windrider was a lot younger during this time, but still significantly older than Clear Sky. Windrider found Clear Sky attractive, and being a big celebrity and a shitty individual, he decided to use her fame and her infatuation to seduce her. He slept with her, then again, and again. And then their meetings became more regular. Did he actually love this mare? Maybe, but he didn’t let himself believe that either way. He loved how much she adored him, and would give herself up to him without a question asked. That was the extent of it. But when Clear Sky ended up pregnant, things got more serious. Windrider was shitty, but not shitty enough to abandon the mare carrying his child. Besides, if word got out about that, it would not do well for his image. So he allowed Clear Sky to live with him, and soon she gave birth to Lightning Dust and Tornado Blitz. He was a distant husband and father, rarely home and spending most of his time with other, more “important” ponies. As the years went on, Windrider only grew worse. How much longer would this family business have to last? He wanted to go back to focusing all his time on fame, money, and chasing tail. When Clear Sky caught Windrider sleeping around with another mare, that was the end of it. She’s been dealing with this piece of shit for so long, and now it was time to end it. She divorced him, and Windrider resents her to this day for it. How dare she leave him? He was the important one! Clear Sky was just some nobody that he knocked up and pitied enough to take her into his house. And she had the audacity to leave him? Of course Windrider wasted no time to try to convince the kids that it was her fault. When Clear Sky turned up pregnant soon after, Windrider was quick to deny it. “She’s purple, she isn’t mine!” “Tornado is purple, you moron! What do you think pink and blue make?!” Clear Sky spent a lot of time trying to pick herself up after the divorce and start anew with her coming foal. She ended up meeting a nice stallion named Quibble Pants, who treated her with respect and care.


(Credit to Lopoddity for these headcanons! The idea with Windrider and Clear Sky was brilliant, I just had to use it!)


4. Tornado Blitz met Rainbow Dash during his time in the Wonderbolt academy. He joined the academy in hopes of becoming an actual Wonderbolt, and living up to his father’s legacy. Rainbow Dash was already a Wonderbolt, and a highly revered one at that. Rainbow Dash was assisting in the training of academy students, and often helped train Tornado’s class. He found her attractive and useful to him, so he decided to put his manipulative skills to work. He knew how self absorbed Rainbow could be, and became the ultimate flatterer. Inflating her ego, charming her, and eventually inviting her on a date. The flustered Rainbow accepted, and the two started meeting regularly. Rainbow never had much experience with romance, so this was a first for her. After some time of dating, Rainbow Dash was shocked to learn she was pregnant. She was somewhat excited but also scared. This was a big change for her life, but it was okay, right? A lot of her friends were having kids, so this is normal. This is fine. Cyclone is born, and everything changes.


5. Not long after Cyclone is born, Rainbow ends up pregnant again! She is absolutely shocked and terrified. She just got back to work after months of leave, and now there’s another one?! No way. But, Tornado guilts her into keeping it. He uses his manipulative ways into making her think that this is fine! They are building a family together, everyone has kids, it’s normal. Keep the kid! So she did, despite her judgment telling her she shouldn’t.


6. Sleetstorm was a fatass baby, so Rainbow had a hard time moving around in her last month of pregnancy. She couldn’t even fly!


7. Babi Sleetstorm and babi Cyclone. I love them so much ;;


8. One of the many fights Rainbow Dash and Tornado Blitz had. Tornado was a toxic dude and was very hard on his kids, especially Sleetstorm. Sleet is soft and doesn’t fit the image of traditional masculinity, so Tornado was very critical of him and in this situation, Tornado was bullying Sleet for having long hair. “Ponies will think he’s a filly!”, “He looks like a pussy!” Things along those lines. Rainbow, however, did not tolerate anyone treating her kids poorly so she was quick to shut that shit down real quick. Also I really liked the headcanon I saw DingoBreath do, so I decided to borrow it ;u;. When pegasi feel intense emotions, their magic leaks out of their bodies in the form of “lighting strikes” in a way, it almost looks like sparks. So, when a pegasus flies and has a trail behind them, that isn’t necessarily from being at high speeds, it is from intense feelings leading to their magic becoming visible.
