some mysoginistic piece of shit to spitfire: you belong in the kitchen

the wonderbolts panicking: NO!!!

soarin: spitfire is legally not allowed to step one feet into the kitchen

misty: do you want to fucking die while she just stands there because shes immune to fire?

sun: LOOK AT SILVER!!

silver: *stares into the void*

surprise: SEE THIS?? This is what happens when you let spitfire walk into the kitchen

#no no please continue this can mean a lot#also we're on the same page w this!!#I always saw fleetfoot at being naturally more 'gifted' than soarin and spitfire#like spitfire says in the comics that she doesnt care about leading just flying#implying that she literally went to the wonderbolts purely to do something she enjoyed and not to become one#the other option was th wheater factory and i dont think she would have enjoyed as much#so like her becoming captain could simply mean that it was pure luck#their ex capitan just saw the potentional in her and gave this oppurtonity and she was like 'meh i'll think abt it'#and like fleet most likely expected to be chose as captain but when she didnt she prob had a breakdown especially bc the pony they chose#didnt care abt it#this is too long for tags hold on9

ok so as I said, fleet prob hated that these two ponies who werent as naturally talented as her just got the best rackings and probably felt like a failure. Sure she got in but shes not captain, just the third in command and that doesnt mean shit, is not as important as captain. Meanwhile soarin and spitfire deal with the biggest imposter syndrome ever because one didnt want to become one and simply did it bc she wanted to inspire other ponies to fly, while the other never thought he would be good enough to do anything and he thinks he doesnt deserve to be co captain. Neither of them wanted these positions they just wanted to fly and in the process they lost one of their childhood friends (the flashbacks says all).

But also...just, fleetfoot understanding that it means that no one will put her on a pedistal again, she can finally relax, she can finally just do her best and it would enough because no one is putting expectation on her. Shes finally free to just be enough. But how much is enough for the wonderbolts? Is her enough good enough for them? Just wanting to make the others see that she earned her spot because she is a natuarl gifted flyer and having to prove that she earned her spot and going again in the cycle of being the best

Spitfire finally seeing her hard work being paid off and seeing that all those times traning paid off. It doesnt matter if she sacrified her whole life and possible childhood for it she did it! But she sees all these ponies talking abot the old captains, how great they were and suddenly feeling like she has to work harder to make them see that she can be as great as them!

...

Soarin is just a dumpstire fire of insecurity, no overanalization herek is canon, he is sad and thinks that even though he is the co captain,he doesnt deserve that spot because he has not work hard enough and all of these other ponies have ben prodegies since childhood and he had to work twice as hard as them yet is not good enough, is never enough, he has to PROVE that he deserves it but even he doesnt believe that he does!

so TL;DR they all have imposter syndrome, overwork themselves to prove they deserve to be wonderbolts and have been shown since childhood (also theyre mentally ill)

I kinda just like going back over Parental Glidence screenshots to study how the other wonderbolts react to Rainbow's Parents and seeing what I can gauge from their expressions

Soarin: You kidnapped Lightning Dust? That’s illegal!

Spitfire: But Soarin, what’s more illegal? Briefly inconveniencing Lightning Dust, or destroying the wonderbolts?

Soarin: Kidnapping Lightning Dust, Spit!!!

Fleetfoot: Soars, listen, whatever I may think of you right now- these guys are counting on you to inspire them!

Soarin: What, to kidnap people?!?!

Fleetfoot: To work together!

Soarin: TO KIDNAP PEOPLE?!?!?!?!

Lightning Streak: Soar, we all agreed a celebrity is a not a people.

[sapphoscorner]

Soarin: We need more help. Maybe I should call my friends.

Wave Chill: ... Your what?

Soarin: My friends.

Misty Fly: Is he saying “friends”?

Spitfire: I think she's being sarcastic.

Fleetfoot: No, no, no, this is delirium, they've cracked from being awake all night. Hey, Soarin! All of your friends are in this room.

Soarin: I have other friends! You asked me to make new friends, I made new friends! It was a task. I complete tasks.

[sapphoscorner]

theyre so stupid (affecionate)

[sapphoscorner]

Spitfire: I’ve done a lot of dumb stuff.

Soarin: I witnessed the dumb stuff.

Fleetfoot: I recorded the dumb stuff.

High Winds: I joined in on the dumb stuff.

Blaze pointing at her notebook: I TRIED TO STOP YOU FROM DOING THE DUMB STUFF!!!

[sapphoscorner]

Silver Lining: So uhhh... my question is: my friend keeps on going into the pantry and grabbing handfuls of fettuccine... uncooked...

Soarin: I would hope they're not grabbing handfuls of cooked fettuccine!

High Winds: In your pantry!

Silver: Yeah... and eating them raw, and she keep calling them 'chips'. ... How do I make her stop?

Soarin: Is your friend here?

Silver Lining, motioning to Misty Fly: Yeah.

Soarin, to Misty Fly: You're a monster! Words MEAN things! >:(

Soarin: Does anybody remember- I haven't been to Olive Garden in many moons- but they DO have a like- fettuccine bottle that you can just- grab em out of and chew-

Soarin: HOLD ON. WAS THIS A PRANK YOU GUYS PULLED ON ME WHEN WE WENT TO OLIVE GARDEN AS KIDS?!

Soarin: NO, STOP. EVERYBODY SHUT UP. DO THEY GIVE YOU RAW FETTUCCINE TO CHEW ON IN THE LOBBY OF THE OLIVE GARDEN

Everyone else: No.

Soarin, to Spitfire and Fleetfoot: YOU FUCKIN BASTARDS

Spitfire: YAAAAAAAAY!

Fleetfoot: THE PRESTIGE!

Howzabout ❤♦️ and ♒?

♒ - Cooking/Food headcanon

Spitfire and Fleetfoot can’t cook for shit, only soarin can so he alwyas needs to feed them.

However Spitfire needs to eat specific foods due of health and texture problems, and soarin doesn’t really want to cook TWO differnt meals so he just force fleetfoot to eat the same thing (which she doesn’t mind but she wants a change for once)

Also soarin is the only one in the ‘bolts who can cook and bake, it’s either not knowing how to do both, knowing just cooking/baking AND THERE’S NO IN BETWEEN

♥ - Family headcanon

 ok so! Soarin and High Winds are twins and their biological mom (winter skies) is married to fleetfoot bilogical mom (blossom dawn)

Winter and Dawn have been knowing each other since college w/ Stormy Flare, they’ve been friends for years and they grew up their children together.

fleetfoot being the oldest had to grew up her sibilings PLUS blaze and spitfire (they’re sisters blaze is 4 years old than spitfire)

and I just really love this family ALSO DON’T GET ME STARTED ON FLEETFOOT BIOLOGICAL DAD I LOVE HIM SO MUCH 🥺, he’s a historian and a total dork, fleetfoot and soarin are stupidily close to him and everyone loves him
