RD just had her first born, Cascade Mist. You're seeing Rainbow in the rare occurrence of her hair being long. Her first pregnancy took a toll on her, as she was just constantly exhausted. She would be nestled in the nest that Soarin made for her, before she birthed and after. In my HC, stallion pegasus are known and expected to make nests made out of warm compacted clouds (I have yet to go into the science of that, but I'm just gonna say it's a pegasus magic thing) for their mates. Soarin would keep nagging her if the nest was fine enough that day, you know he'll be sad if it wasn't. It's probably a little small, but RD loves it regardless. Even though her expression in the picture may not look like it, her heart is always filled with so much sappy warmth at the fact that Soarin put so much work into making something for her and only her. She's just tired, that's all. Soarin will still be by her side and give her anything she pleases. The same goes for his new born. Cascade was a quiet foal, and was content in the comfort of her parents. ΓwΓ 2nd Drawing:
RD preening her fluffed up son before some competition or school or something. Cloudy hates it when she does this, especially right before something or in public. And I think RD is doing this both in instances XD; it seems that RD can be an overprotective and bothersome parent at times. She does this to all of her kids as they be looking raggedy half the time XP. Soarin don't be helping either. He be looking a mess too XD. 3rd Drawing:
Yes, pegasus eat worms in my hc (I'll do an in depth explanation on pegasus in the future, like I did with the unicorns). These worms are common in Cloudsdale, and are usually found in densely clouded areas. They feed off the magical components that make up in the clouds in Cloudsdale, but don't worry, they aren't a threat. It's easier for them to gain a lot more magic in the denser areas. They're known as Rainbow Worms, and are a good snack for pegasus (and so are other bugs). They're big, thick and juicy and are a treat for younger pegasus. Mother pegasus chew up and regurgitate these worms (along with other bugs and food) for their foals. The worms provide protein and magic for the little tykes, and help them grow. They're almost the pegasus equivalent of a vitamin or something XP. Lightning here loves them!! 4th Drawing:
RD swimming with her chicks, Crimson, Azure and Xanthia XP. I was inspired to draw her like a mother swan, like how they carry their young on their back until the chicks are ready to swim. And by all means, those three aren't in the slightest ready XD. So Rainbow would do what a mother does best and take them swimming with her, and she'll help them when they're ready. I would also assume that RD is just taking a bird bath with the little stinkers XP. These three are crazy wild. I already know Crimson is forming some anxiety to water, as Xanthia keeps touching it, all while Azure isn't giving a crap.
ANYWAYS. I hope you all are having a fantastic day and wonderful month. Happy very late 4th btw to my Americans πΊπΈ! If you guys have any questions or anything, please leave a text in the comments or in chat . Thanks for the constant support! Love y'all as always!!!
