((So, you want adult versions of the two sets of baby twins? Well, you’re in luck!
We have Cheese Slice the Comedian (yay, I thought up a cutie mark for him!), Cream Cheese the Baker, Wildflower the Photographer, and Dr. Boxthorn the Scientist. Some fine specimens of pony that their parents are very proud of.))
At last, I have updated the CheesePie and Flormato family pictures, just in time for Thanksgiving! Our two leading stallions are certainly thankful to have the best wives they could ask for, and a bunch of awesome kids.
Roster is as follows:
Cheese and Pinkie
~Pizza Pockets
~Fudge Fondue
~Rocky Road
~Berry Blast
~Cheesecake Chase (“C.C”)
~Sugar Surprise
~Cheese Slice
~Cream Cheese
Tomato and Flora
~Bell Pepper
~Cucumber Melon
~Forest March
~Marigold
~Ketchup
~Curly Kale
~Wildflower
~Boxthorn
If their mom was there, you know she’d ask why they both have so many kids.
Anyway, Cheese does have a different middle-aged design than in the show, because giving him a few gray hairs and bags under his eyes is lazy--I have him wear his glasses, a different outfit, and while it’s not obvious at first, his hair’s thinner and he’s gonna go bald as he ages. Sorry, Cheese, you’re not as lucky as your voice actor (or your brother, he gonna keep his hair ‘til the day he dies, haha).
No visible gray hair for anyone, but, eh, you know that will come later.
((First off, I tried my hand at drawing the canon CheesePie kid, Li’l Cheese. I’m really happy with how she turned out, especially since trying to recreate that cutie mark was a pain! Regardless, she’s having fun being a bouncy leader.
Okay, so, about those two other ponies with Li’l Cheese...
I could have left the Flormato family alone, just let them stay at six while canon gives them a new cousin and bumps the CheesePie family up to seven (not counting parents). Leave it at a baker’s dozen of Sandwich offspring from two couples.
But then, two evil thoughts came to my mind. One, “I should totally come up with a pony based on that Darkwing Duck character I really like”. And two, “wouldn’t it be funny if we struck Tommy and Flora with that ‘twin curse’ that runs through the Sandwiches’ mom’s side of the family?”
I caved to both, and the Flormato family has been bumped up to eight (pfft, like Flora and her siblings), bringing the total of Sandwich Kiddos to fifteen.
I’m making sure they’re the last by making them sort of a bookend; where the CheesePie family had started with twins Pizza Pockets and Fudge Fondue, the Flormato family ended with twins Wildflower and Boxthorn.
So, some tidbits on the new kids:
They’re a year younger than Li’l Cheese.
Wildflower’s the older twin, full of spunk, sass, and a keen eye for beauty and detail, which helps her in her photography talent. She’s a social butterfly and loves going on adventures. She’s also got a temper that’s enough to make her peers call her “Wildfire” at times.
Boxthorn’s the younger one, who’s a shy, awkward dweeb who can be a little too curious and ambitious for his own good, which lead to a talent in science (mainly biology and chemistry), and him being a walking disaster, whether by accident or he’s just feeling a little mischievous toward someone who crossed him. He was kind of inspired by Dr. Bushroot, the aforementioned Darkwing Duck character.
They’re both hopeless romantics.
And with that, I’m just gonna let these kids play for now.))
Okay, so I’ve added the “Li’l Cheese Twins” and the Flormato twins to the family tree. I also changed the Maudbriar daughter’s name because I found out about wood opals and felt stupid for not using “Wood Opal” as a name, and decided that since I didn’t use her much anyway, nobody would care that I changed it.
((There was a third and fourth ask in Polish, but one was about the proposal, which I already did, and the other being about Tomato’s hair...
So, here we are at the Flormato wedding, in the merry, merry month of May. They had a lot of attendees, both shown here with the friends and family we know, and the unshown like the extended family and other friends of both bride and groom. The bride especially has numerous cousins! Sadly, I can’t tag them all, so I’ll have to put them in the captions for anyone who doesn’t already know.
No cake fight like there was during the CheesePie wedding, but Tomato and Flora got to go crowdsurfing (it was Bananas’ idea) and Cirrus got beaned in the face with the bouquet, so they have a couple funny wedding memories.
And so, this was the start of the Flower-Sandwich family...))
Why did I let myself make another CheesePie filly (Sugar Surprise), then follow it up with coming up with a Flormato colt (Curly Kale)? I’ll see myself to the corner.
