#cookies & cakes & runaways: human verse

[familylightfox]

Many of the regulars of the cafe were used to the teen’s sudden entrances, but this was one of the few when there was someone in tow behind her. To say that a few could be heard gossiping in whispers at their tables only made the ginger roll his eyes and shake his head.

“Don’t I know it. It wouldn’t be a drag night here if at least one o’ the queens didn’t sing one o’ those two. Or Let it go.” Jeremy smirked and shrugged his shoulders, “But they draw a crowd so I can’t complain. I’m pretty sure they’re one o’ the reasons I can stay open.”

“That and this is one of the safest queer spaces Boston has seen in awhile.” One of the patrons spoke up, catching Jeremy’s eyes as they added, “Not to mention the owner’s decent eye candy.”

“Oh shut up!” With a quick glance to the side, pale cheeks flushed. The man could never take a compliment to save his life and shook his head before focusing on the brunette once more.

“Are you playin’ any shows while you’re here or just testin’ the waters o’ the city?”

THERE WAS AN UNDERSTANDING that flashed through green eyes at that. He wouldn't question it anymore, he was curious but if he was going to start poking into the teen's backstory he would at least give her the chance to tell it. Nothing more, nothing less. And since she seemed more interested in avoiding him, Maurice supposed that was that. He couldn't blame her, he was just surprised none of the patrons had raised a stink.

Hearing them agree with the other male made the brunette think that this wasn't the first time they had seen such a thing, however. And he wasn't sure how to feel about that, but it didn't stop him from snorting. "Parking can be a pain. 'S one reason I don't have a car. That an' I can't drive. Safer for everyone that way."

Plus there was no real need for it back where he lived, and he liked walking odd as it might have seemed. And if he ever needed to go outside of the city, that's where rideshares and public transport came in handy. But nothing beat using one's own two feet, you could see so much more that way.

But that was beside the point, and the brunette smiled at the question that followed. "Bit of both. I'd love t' focus mainly on my stuff but, let's face it, nothing draws a crowd like a rousing cover of Don't Stop Believing or Barbie Girl."

HC: Cake Twins

Pumpkin Mug Cake and Lemon Pound Cake, also known as the Cake Twins or Cake Kids, ended up becoming two very different ponies.

Concept belongs to @lieutenantcactus

Is this canon in my next gen? Well technically this is fanart of this post but I do like the idea, and lieutenantcactus gave me permission to use it in my own verse, so yes ^-^

I imagine Pumpkin is a smart, curt and sassy emo mare, with a passion for poetry, trash talk, rock music, black coffee, and chocolate chocolate chip cookies. Apart of a death n roll band (Death n Roll is a sort of a mix of death metal and hard rock) with Plaid Stripes, Yona the Yak, Smoky Quartz (Maud Pie's kid), Screwball, and Wind Sprint. Manager of Sugarcube Corner.

Meanwhile, Pound Cake is an excitable goody-two-shoes boyo. He became Twilight Sparkle's new assistant after Spike left to pursue his own dreams. Pound looks up to his leaders, and wants to do anything to help his fellow creatures. He's upbeat, smiley, optimistic, and kind of a genius. Hopes to become a politician, an ambassador for his country, a charity worker, and a flight coach reserved for winged children of non-flying families.

Other Notes~

- Both Pumpkin and Pound are exceptionally smart. They have friendly, competitive debates over their thoughts on the weirdest shit.

- Runaway Princess Flurry Heart resides close to Ponyville, and thus stumbled upon the twins. Flur is in a polygamous (NOT POLYAMOROUS) relationship with both of em. There's no incest, as neither sibling conducts in sexual or romantic acts with the other. They just have the same girlfriend, who is ace so sex really isn't a part of their relationship. Soz if it still makes you uncomfortable but it doesn't do anything for me, so... I like it ok

- The way names work in MLP is so very confusing. I headcanon that last names don't have to match that of a parent or a marriage partner. Last names that match that of a parent are considered traditional and/or imply that the child or children are their parents' successor. (Example; the Pie sisters were originally planned to all takeover the family rock farm, and their family is very traditional in terms of name, lifestyle, etc)

That intels that Carrot Cake and Chiffon "Cupcake" Swirl Cake wanted their twins to eventually takeover their humble establishment. Pound Cake is busy chasing his own dreams, so Pumpkin is proud to be her mother and father's heir.

- In my verse, I made it so human religions translate to Cosmic Forces for ponies and other creatures. The Cakes are Orderers. "The believers of Order follow general guidelines. Their relationship with Order is deeply personal. Orderers think that Order is a solitary, unified Force-- the one and only Force-- and that it is concerned with the actions of Ponykind. Orderers have everyday, private experiences with Order, interpretating things like a draft or a stream of sunlight as a sign from Order. Ordinary, common occurences is how Order's manifests, and Orderers thank It for the very fact that they are alive this day, and for the day's existence. Order is thought to be concerned with daily conduct, being kind and showing mercy, not shedding blood, and not commiting acts like adultery and idolatry. Orderers follow that any Orderer's experience brings them closer to Order." - Pony Religions on my Tumblr Pastelglitchesxx
