TwiCord NextGen Lineup (Minus Discord lol)

Here's Twilight and her babies :)))

Whole bunch of info below the cut!

The style for these guys is a whole lot looser than my SunPest lineup because I may or may not have made the canvas like 7835 pixels by 4604 pixels. Whyy did I do that lol? That's also why Discord isn't here lmao ;w;

I had to like color all of them on their own copy of the canvas and then paste them all together on the final one lmaoo making things so much harder for myself for no reason fr

From left to right we have:

Princess Twilight Sparkle, matriarch (she/her)

Starfall Swirl, eldest child (she/they/he)

Eldritch Whispers, middle child (he/they/it)

And Cryptic Cipher, youngest child (they/them)

I don't have a ton to say about these guys for right now since I'm still deciding what I want their dynamics to be like and what the family dynamic ought to be like as a whole.

Generally my ideas for them are Incredibly Charming Wizard Dork (SS), Silly Prankster with Comprehension of Horrors Beyond the Mortal Realm (EW), and Reclusive Prodigy with a little bit of Elphaba influence (CC)

Here's a link to my TH folder that houses all of my NextGen characters for this universe (which has yet to be named): https://toyhou.se/werewargs/characters/folder:6487822

Also here are the kiddos' concept doodles! :

They received very minimal changes. Overall they feel a bit less saturated which is shame (can't wait for Tumblr to desaturate them even more). Wonder if I did that on purpose I literally don't even know I drew these almost four months ago lol.

Extra Notes While I'm Thinkin'

- Starfall Swirl probably attends magic school with Solar Flare and acts as her biggest rival, albeit unknowingly. Starfall isn't nearly as competitive as Solar and is a bit slow to understand social cues the unicorn may be sending her way. Solar: *glaring at Starfall menacingly for getting a better score on a magic exam* Starfall: "Wow I sure am glad I don't have an intense stare like that. People would think I was mad at them all the time!"

- Eldritch Whispers very likely spends a lot of time training his chaos magic with his dad. Discord helps him learn to use such powers expertly, a skill that is mandatory if Whispers wants to use his magic to help ponies. I imagine he dreams of sealing away various incomprehensible horrors that slip through interdimensional rifts that pop up here and there in Equestria. I'm sure those are nothing to worry about.

- Cryptic Cipher is entirely focused on arcane codes and ciphers. They are quite gifted at making ones of their own, but they also specialize in decoding the ancient magic they research. Their primary occupation is doing such work. They strive to help further Equestria's understanding of its history, back to the era of Grogar and Gusty the Great.

- Cipher's magic also works much more similarly to how unicorns' magic does, as opposed to Draconequi (?). They can't use magic to levitate and have to use their wings for flight, and their horn acts as their only spellcasting focus (they can't cast spells by snapping their fingers, etc.)

- Starfall and Whispers can use magic using their horns (unicorn style) AND ALSO cast spells just by thinking/willing them (draconequus style).

- Starfall prefers using her horns to cast magic, as she was mainly taught that way by her mother and by other magic teachers at her magic school (all of whom were ponies).

- Whispers, however, is a lot like his dad in the way that he often simply snaps his fingers to cast a spell. BUT the rings of his horn glow whenever he uses any kind of magic. It can be hard for him to sneakily cast spells lol.

tell us more abt ran??

RAN? My Zutara steambaby? Dragon of the Southern Water Tribe? Red twin? Sun Warrior? THAT Ran?

GLADLY! I've sortof reworked details of their backstory since I last talked about them anyways. Here's a lengthy ramble about her I guess...

So as you may or may not know already- Ran and Shaw were both raised in the Southern Water Tribe. Katara actually opted to do it alone (she was worried about introducing the two kids to the stresses of FIre Nation poltiics. Zuko respected her choice, hoping to avoid repeating the same relationship as him and his sister.

So neither of the kids knew who their father really was until the day that Ran started firebending. She was pretty sensitive as a kid, basically scared about everything and running to either her mom at anything scary- including her shooting fire out of her fist.

After that Katara finally came clean to them both and told them all about their dad. He would come to the Tribe to visit from then on but Ran wasn't super eager to learn firebending. For the longest time, she would've much rather prefferred to have been a waterbender, having the power to heal people like her brother and mom was something she really wanted. It took a lot of encouragement from her brother before she decided to give it a try. Zuko would try his best to teach her during his visits for a while but they realized that it was going to be better for Ran if they moved to the Fire Nation for her training (it took Katara a lot of convincing to agree to it.) And making it publicly known who his children were.

Being around so many more firebenders was a bit of a culture shock to both Ran and Shaw, where Ran felt a lot less like the freaky firebender of the family. It caused a major flip in her personality. She became much more of a hothead, (a lot like her parents) to counteract her brother's cooler and relaxed temperaments. She took her training a lot more seriously, getting more and more competitive and headstrong as a bender. For better or worse, Zuko saw a lot of Azula in her. When she was around 15 or so, Zuko would be the one to suggest that she should train with the Sun Warriors, feeling it would be the best way to keep her on a good path.

Her time training with the Sun Warriors was not the easiest. With neither her status as the Firelord's daughter or the familiarity of her home in the Southern Tribe she had to work to earn her place there, this included a lot of grunt work, cleaning up after dragons included. And while it was forbidden for any of them to directly interact with the Dragons (or their hatchlings) Ran would essentially do the thing where you feed the dog scraps under the table and leaving him meat treats. I think Shaw would briefly come to train alongside her for a bit there too. I imagine that part where she would finally earn the respect of her Sun Warrior peers would be something like... her confronting some aspiring firebenders that arrived to hunt the young Druk for sport. "You came here to make a name for yourself by killing a dragon but you'll have to settle for losing to one." It would still be some time later in her life before she would earn the official title of "Dragon" and finally return to her family. Around 19 i think? Druk coming along with her as they had bonded pretty strongly.

That's most of the rundown of her lore wise. She's set on bringing Sun Warrior philosophies to modern firebending, treating fire as a form of life rather than a force of destruction or power and in a way it made her feel more connected to her mother and brother too, no longer feeling like she was on opposing ends from from their elements.

And that's what I've got worked through so far. If you'd rather learn something specific feel free to ask more details. Ask me about Shaw next, how he's off breaking the women-as-healers stereotypes and working to implement bloodbending into healing practices (sortof against his mother's wishes). If the next Avatar series doesn't give us at least one male waterbender healer, I'll riot.

Side note but Avatar Wiki giving me better fuel for naming the twins after the dragons. Shaw is blue twin and Ran is red twin.

Sparkle Family Portrait

Wanna do this for most of my NextGen families :3 so of course had to start with these guys

(There’s more but I can’t add more slots :’3)

[splitkyte]

Hide the evidence >:0

-

Coming home, flutters noticed a broken tea cup upon arrival. She inspected it, realizing there were no animal tracks near it. Discord on the other hand, already knew the little pair of twins did it as they played tea party together with her tea set. He was simply amused to see the two of them panic.

-

This is when they were foals/fillies by the way :> also Discord being an enabler to mischief 👍
