coming up with a ship for big mac and flash was tough so i did that thing i do best and mashed together some characters who i want in my next gen but wasn’t sure how to use them!!

macintosh crispin apple

• big macintosh ;“pa”
  identity: genderfluid bisexual (he/she)

in my next gen, big mac never did more than date sugar belle. the two broke it off without any grievances with one another. big mac eventually realized after the orchard blossom thing that he was really comfortable presenting in a more feminine way, and started identifying as genderfluid. the pink ribbon was a gift from apple bloom when she came out to her family.

flash pop sentry

• flash sentry ; “dad”
  identity: gay trans stallion (he/him)

these two met through the Ponytones. flash sentry had recently quit his job as a royal guard because he was getting older, and was perusing different places he could live, eventually settling on ponyville. flash, being a music guy, was interested in the live music that the ponytones provided. big mac caught his eye and the two hit it off.

starling gala song

• starling song
  identity: lesbian mare (she/her)

talent: singing
cutie mark: a bird with music notes

mean lesbian incarnate. she has a really gorgeous voice and Knows It. super gossipy and thinks she’s hot shit and pretty two-faced, but has a huge weakness for butches
