They will ask what is happening in the drawing, let’s start at the beginning. You will see in my universe not everything is rosy and happiness.
The relationship of Flash and Twilight was very difficult due to the status and fame of the new princess, and the position of “a simple guard” Flash. Even after overcoming all the problems, and being happily married, there were still attacks on Twi or Flash, so after the couple knew that they wanted to have their first child, they decided to ask for help from someone they trusted. Tempest appeared on the list of candidates, she was strong, intuitive, loyal and very capable in detecting danger. So short story Tempest was named guard, from The House of Sparkle (besides Flash). For Twilight it was not a mystery the feeling of the unicorn towards her, but Tempest didnt say anything because it would be annoying for her friend since she was already in love with someone else. Twilight respected her decision not to confess her feelings but they continued to be good friends. Of course Tempest did not hide her dislike for Flash, but the pegasus as dense as he is, thought that was the way of being of the ex-villain.
Time passed and the dislike of Tempest was transforming into other feelings, she couldnt understand how a pony could be so, well so, dorky? friendly? o Why was he worried that she would eat or sleep well? Why did he take care of her when she was ill? Where did this duster learn to cook,sew and clean so fucking good? He is almost the perfect housewife! Why do he smile at her like that? Dont hug her without her permission!
How he dared to beat her in sports! how dare he be so good with her! and how he dared to be so, so damn cute!… Not not cute, as if she was starting to like him, that’s ridiculous! he is only the handsome husband of the mare that she has liked for a long time and she was only the guard, is stupid! You cant like two ponies at once! or can it? Anyway, Tempest could even admit that she tolerated the presence of the pegasus but just a little bit it’s not like she likes it, hahahaha…
Soooo as you can see in this picture is when Twilight realizes that perhaps the bid bad Tempest is developing fluffy feelings towards her dear husband, in other situations she would mark her territory, but she fully trust on Tempest and knows that Flash is just friendly and very affectionate with the ponis that he likes like friends. In fact she thinks its interesting and somewhat amusing how funny thing is the destiny. Flash is blessedly unaware of the whole situation. Poor Tempest, she is not used to loving physical contact and her emotions are overwhelmed, she cant handle this!!!
And it’s going to take a looooooot of time and happen many things for these three to be an item. Oh and Twilight has short mane due to an incident in which she had to be forcibly cut and Flash is letting him mane grow a little ( Twi’s request, because, damn! this stallion looks estra hot with long mane).
Do you want to know something? I wanted to present this ship a long time ago, because one of my favorite crack ship is Flash and Tempest, but I like Flashlight a lot and because I am a sucker for “everyone happy” here is the result. This is canon in my universe, why? because I like the idea and I’m poly ship trash, also Tempest is a badass all, but is a total tsudere XD
