Out of curiosity have you thought about any other ponies for TWDG? I was thinking of Marlon being a pegasus and Violet and Louis being unicorns but I always find reasons to change my ideas and can never decide on them with certainty lol
oh i was so fixated on turning characters into ponies for a hot minute so ive got a few designs lined up from ages ago, I've also thought abt reasonings behind most characters' species
Garcias are mostly earth ponies for vibes , tbh . down to earth and especially in david's case focused on tradition and hard work . Kate being a pegasus sets her apart from them , and theres a metaphor in there about her wanting to be a "free spirit" of sorts or leave the confides of her marriage n responsibilities to the kids all together
Gabe n Mari's bio mom in my mind was a unicorn , but Gabe is presently the only unicorn in his family . on top of that , hes the only unicorn he knows PERIOD since the apocalypse began . this goes into his insecurities and feeling small , "unmanly"(incapable of protecting those he loves) and generally misunderstood/heavily criticized , especially by Kate , who is unable to relate to Gabe , even if they both come from a place of being frustrated with their roles and capabilities toward keeping their family and themselves safe
Clementine is an earth pony because thematically it just makes sense to me , her being able to do things that people assume she shouldnt be able to fits in with her not having magic or flight like other pony species . she gets around without it by using her wit
Louis and Marlon are both pegasi to me mainly because I can just picture them flying together n racing each other in the sky or getting into flight related sports/games before the apocalypse together . theyre just flying buddies to me I can't view them any different . and I think Louis being a pegasus with a very "un-pegasus-like" talent/interest is fun and makes sense why his parents wouldnt readily indulge in his desires for singing lessons
I admit Violet is the one whose species I've thought the least about in terms of reasoning. I fear she just gives off the energy of a unicorn to me lol but I can also see her being an earth pony for a similar reason to Clem. But also I do like the image of her not being very magically inclined but moreso using her horn as a weapon itself. Who needs a butcher knife ? (silly)
AJ is a unicorn to me because look . look . him being a sharp shooter in this universe translating to him having crazy good magic capabilities . Clem , being an earth pony , both doesnt know how to teach him proper technique n responsibility , and also doesnt really grasp how out of control his abilities are until hes already killed marlon point blank with his magic
