(Okay excuse any writing mistakes—it’s 3AM but your post just hella inspired me to share some thoughts as well omg)
Okay low-key I feel like Robby also gives Pegasus vibes—but like,, he’s strong and can definitely do some endurance flying (not sure about speed tho,, I don’t think he’s quite nimble enough)
At first I was seeing Whitaker as a earth pony, for obvious reasons—but I can see the clumsy Pegasus too 🤔 Robby inviting him to his house in the “upper end” of Cloudsdale haha
Duuuude what if it’s a world where Pegasi are low-key rare in most medical departments—maybe it’s seen as their wings “get in the way” too often? Among other things.
Like ofc EMS ponies could be pegasi bc they can transport easy and get to places earth ponies couldn’t—but even then, unicorns can teleport
It would be a “what can a pegasus do that a unicorn can’t?” Type of deal
But the thing is, nobody can command an ER like Robby can, nobody knows more than he does
That’s why when Whitaker, a meek clumsy Pegasus shows up—Robby felt his own wings beg to flutter a bit. He was excited—he wasn’t the only one.
DUDE MAYBE—okay, maybe he grew up on an earth pony farm!! Like it was a genetic one-in-a-million fluke when Dennis was born with wings (from his mother’s side I’d guess) so he was always sort of looked down upon (maybe that’s why he doesn’t know how to use his wings very well?)
Omfg bruh. Like,,, Robby instinctually desiring to extend his wing to cover Witaker’s back, or refer to something between them even though it’s frowned upon to extend them in the work place???
Like duh Whitaker is still going to have a flush across his cheeks when Robby’s feathers brush against his back or leg, regardless of whether they’re extended or still by his sides.
Like dude. Robby giving Whitaker lessons about Pegasi history, and that’s why maybe he’d bring him to Cloudsdale one day—taking him to a museum or two, a factory even (imagine the snowflake factory potential cuteness), then grabbing a local cuisine lunch/sweet treat :,)
Maybe it’s a little colder in Cloudsdale and Whitaker isn’t used to it (ofc) so Robby lends him a scarf 😭
As much as I love the idea of Robby sharing Cloudsdale with Dennis tho, I can totally see Robby as having a second (more primary) home on the ground, with a little farm in the back for herbs and such.
It’s be on the outskirts of town, but he’d still be semi-active in the community/buying from the local stores (I imagine him as a huge fan of bakery items ^^ like he’s not the leanest Pegasus in the world that’s for sure <3 tubby pony Robby anyone?? Just an idea)
After a while he might even invite Dennis over for dinner and tell him about his grandmother and his woes with the family home up in the clouds T-T
Okay okay,, I’ll cool the jets (for now). But also now I want to draw it, write it, AND make Ponytown renditions of them <3 (if anyone knows what that is, bless up haha)
There’s sooo much potential here it’s crazy
