Never thought I’d make this adorable little family, but I was wandering around YouTube, came across the clip of Plaid Stripes, and recalled seeing some fan art with her and Tender Taps (head canon-ing them as siblings). Naturally, I saw that idea as too perfect to pass up and thus the Loud and Proud family came to be!  
 
Tender Taps being the shy little brother, Plaid Stripes being the loud, confident, older sister, Mr. Stripes being the proud, boasting, promoting dad, and Ms. Harshwhinny being the career-driven, traveling woman who still makes time to visit her kiddos to make sure they’re being the best they can be! I imagine this picture happening after Tender Taps got his cutie mark and caught up with his family in Manehattan. I feel as if he has family in Ponyville and the smaller town helps his little, anxious self.  
 
All in all, I LOVE doing head canons with ponies and matching them up with someone else! I honestly didn’t know if Harshwhinny would be a good pick for the wife of Mr. Stripes, but… it honestly makes sense. Mr. Stripes is a loud, brash man who could only marry a loud, brash woman. They make the ULTIMATE power couple as they promote their kids across Equestria! Nepotism? What’s that?! LOL
