So I haven't finished the ship drawings yet (still working on the CheesePie one) because I've found myself with a cold, so I decided to finish this in the meantime.  I honestly love their canon designs, I just wanted to give them a bit more variation in body type and to add more horse inspired coats.

I got a new pony he's a viking

Name: Sagr Nickname/s: None Species: Earth Pony Pronouns: He/Him Cutie Mark: A hammer in between two stripes with Younger Furthark written on which means (Járn ok stál), with two lightning bolts on Info: Sagr lived during the times of Starswirl the Bearded, he lived in what would become the town of Breton on Trot and was the local blacksmith there. When a cockatrice started threatening the villagers, Sagr took his trusty hammer Jóarr and left to vanquish the creature, while he did manage to stop the cockatrice from terrorising the village, he was petrified in the process. Sagr remained petrified in the cave he fought the cockatrice in up until the modern day, the cave were connected to the Well of Restoration and after centuries of the waters dripping on him, the petrification was undone.  

After being healed, Sagr moved back to Breton on Trot and resumed his work as a blacksmith, although he has trouble talking to others with the only languages he speaks being a mix of Old Ponish and Old Horse. 

Personality: At a first glance Sagr is your typical strong, stoic type but first glances can be deceiving! His destiny may be in blacksmithing, but Sagr is an avid storyteller, able to weave many a tale, and knowledgeable in the myths and legends of the lands he and his ancestors inhabit and eager to spread this knowledge with anypony or creature, willing to listen. He has a strong sense of duty, and is fiercely loyal to those around him, as long as you pose no threat to his village, you are his friend and he will treat you as such.

I've had my main fursona Timelapse for 10 years now, time does fly, doesn't it? She's been through a few changes over the years, they used to be a wolf! and she's getting a partial fursuit (with plans on getting a fullsuit in the future) that's being made at the moment, I've been getting wip photos and they're looking super cute, can't wait for it to be finished.

[pastelpengwin]

The next of the mane six ships is Fluttercord! Because of course it is! Next up is CheesePie and even through Rarity is happily single in the Nonpareilverse, she will get her own version of these drawings, and once I've done that I will make a sheet of all the Mane 6's designs for the Nonpareilverse. 

[pastelpengwin]

Finally made the ref sheet for Flim and Flam in the Nonpareilverse, I didn't change their design much because honestly I love their show designs! Their story mainly follows the show up until Leap of Faith.

[pastelpengwin]

I changed Big Sugar's name to Bright Bramley because I think it sounds better, lol. But here is my version of the Apple Family Tree.  Are you ready for the lore dump, cuz here it comes!

Granny Smith, Winesap and Ashmead are fraternal triplets, (on the note of Winesap, he does have his own family, but I didn’t want to get into that as this is mainly to show Flim and Flam’s relation to the Apples.)

Now to address that topic, Flim and Flam’s mother Pomona met their father Hocus Pocus while passing through Manehattan on a delivery, she became infatuated with him and after an argument with her parents about how Hocus is a con pony, she ran away to live with him on a small farm just outside Manehattan, where Flim and Flam were born and raised.

After she left, Ashmead just kinda stopped talking about her, cutting contact completely, the other Apple family members don’t know about Flim and Flam and no one talks about Pomona’s leaving.

After the incident Flim and Flam move to Sweet Apple Acres while they recover, they eventually start helping out around the farm, and slowly, they become friends with the Apples and they bury the hatchet. AJ, Big Mac and Apple Bloom decide to visit Goldie again and Apple Bloom invites Flim and Flam along because they miss travelling.

When they get there, Goldie takes one look at the brothers and says “you two are the splitting image of your mother”. Flim and Flam ask how she knows their mother and Goldie searches through her records and shows everypony an old photo of Granny Smith, Winesap, Ashmead, Bright Mac and Pomona. She points at Pomona and says “she is your mother, isn’t she? She’s an Apple” Suffice to say, everypony is shocked to hear the news, although Granny reveals she had a sneaking suspicion they were Apples.

The next one of my mane 6 ships, AppleDash, and also my designs for them, I was gonna give AJ a more Appaloosa coat, but I ended up liking the dapples more.  Next up is either FlutterCord or CheesePie. 

[pastelpengwin]

Probably the ship most wouldn't expect out of all the mane 6 ships, but here we are. Also, this is the first drawing featuring my design for Twilight, I love all their original designs so my redesigns just add a little more ✨flare✨

Turns out Flam loves reading almost as much as Twilight, after the incident, Twilight brought Flim and Flam a whole lot of books to read while they recovered. This lead to Flam and Twilight's late night book discussions.    

bonus image of Twilight's redesign without all the shading and such.

I will eventually get round to my mane 6 designs, but for now have Flim and Silver's first date. I also still need to figure out a name for this au.  They met in Manehattan and immediately attempted to scam each other, after they reached a stalemate, they started talking which led to them ending up going on a date before they left Manehattan separately.  

[pastelpengwin]

The human design of Flim and Flam have grown on me, but I redesigned their outfits to better match their pony versions. I'm still trying to figure out how to draw these guys properly, they never look quite right.

[pastelpengwin]

I made a ref sheet for the adopt I bought. She's the first crystal pony I have and I adore her design.

Silver's Toyhouse

Name: Silver Fleece Nickname/s: Flea Species:Crystal Pony Pronouns: She/her Partner: Flim Cutie Mark: Crystal ewe sitting in front of a sack of bits Info: Silver Fleece is a travelling salespony who focuses on selling flowers or whatever treasuresjunk she can get her hooves on. Silver has her own caravan which she lives and sells out of on her travels. She tends upsell her wares to her customers and some say her rare artefacts are made by Silver herself. It was on her travels, she ended up in Manehattan where she met the Flim Flam Brothers and started up a rivalry with them. After a few years of this rivalry, she and the brothers teamed up and she began travelling with them. After a year of this, she and Flim started dating. 

[pastelpengwin]

Since it's Hearts and Hooves day I thought I'd finally post the ships for my next gen, Rarity is missing because I'm still figuring it out.  The pony with Flim is an adopt I got from Unknown-Artist99 on Deviantart and I've already got the names for the foals of AppleDash and CheesePie and the design for a FlamLight foal too.
