feather fluff friday!

if you had wings...


Don't you wish you could fly?

Uh, well...about that. Now you can! See, for some reason, Stacy / GLaDOS / a wizard thought it would a real hoot to curse (bless?) you and now you've sprouted wings! It doesn't matter if your species would look silly with wings, you're a book, you can already fly without them, or whatever else. Too bad, you're stuck with them!

- Post the wing type you got saddled with---choose one on your own, use a RNG to choose, or leave it up to your partner! Your partner can feel free to have wings too.
- Characters who already have wings can have them modified in some way: if they can only glide, they're now capable of flight, or they can spout glitter and rainbows upon flapping. OR you can add an appendage of your choice---horn? Tail? Tentacle? Go wild.
- React, laugh, and have fun!

Wing Types:
01. Fluffy Angel Wings - The typical type you probably think of when 'wings' come to mind - you're all fluffy and downy like a Cherub - not to mention...these are very sensitive to touch...
02. Black Wings - they're beautiful, but seem a little off - and they stick out like a sore thumb!
03. Filligree Wings - very slight, very delicate and very beautiful - these are like filmy gauze attached to your skin and the most managable - if you like spider webs.
04. Fairy Wings - two sets, lucky you, you look just like a butterfly, and man are they strong - but it's hard to get them all folded up right, isn't it?
05. Devil Wings - you're like some overgrown bat - maybe you should be the one avoiding public the most for now, these might poke someone in the eye!
06. Your choice! You don't have to choose any of these, as far as your imagination goes is fine. And if there's a wing type in your canon that makes more sense, go for it!

"They sure feel real," Applejack grumbled, appreciating the hand. There, now she was just casually sitting on the tree and fluttering her wings. "I just don't usually have 'em. No clue where they came from."

She wondered if that was a common problem.

He grinned at her, setting down on one of the branches nearby. "Well, they look really nice on you, even if they're not yours. You don't feel sick or anything, do you?"

[appletastic]

"If I am, it ain't from growing these. I'm just not the kind of pony who ever needed to know how to do a triple barrel inside-out loop," she sighed, those last words sounding like she was imitating another proud pegasus pony she knew.

"How about you? You feelin' all right?"

[tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com]

"Me? Yep, I'm feeling great!" He sat down on the branch, swinging his legs back and forth. "Besides, I don't think I'm gonna grow any wings like you. I'm a robot."

[appletastic]

Applejack managed to arrange herself into a proper sitting position, tilting her head to one side. Huh.

"A robot? Huh. You look just like all the other humans to me, sure you're not just gonna grow a wing or two? Uh...not that I recommend it."

[tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but normal humans can't fly, right? I was designed to look just like one, though."

"So what's your name?"

[appletastic]

"I've seen plenty of humans fly. Most of 'em use magic, though," she realized, tapping her branch with a hoof. "So...you're like them but not like them?"

How confusing. She just tilted her head, tipping her hat toward her branch-partner. "Anyway, it's a pleasure to meetcha. I'm Applejack!"

[tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com]

"Oh, really? I'm not magic, though. I'm mostly made of metal alloy. I guess you could say humans put me together, though."

He gave her another smile. "Nice to meet you, Applejack. I'm Atom! Um, so is that why you've got those apple marks?"

[appletastic]

Humans could just...put together another human? Without going through all the mess and trouble of breeding? Well why didn't they just do that in the first place and spare the mares the agony?

People would never cease to amaze her.

"So couldn't they just give you metal wings, then?"

The weight issue briefly crossed her mind, but if humans could do all that, she was sure they could make metal wings work to. "Well how do you do, Atom! Well...nah, I wasn't named for 'em. I was a blank flank when I was born, same as everypony else. When us ponies learn what our special talents are, we get our cutie marks. Mine's farming apples," she said proudly, as happy about that as she always would be.

"Metal wings?" He thought that over for a bit. "I guess they could, but... usually rocket boosters work just fine."

To demonstrate, he fired the ones in his boots, hovering in the air a little above the branch before setting back down again. "Although one of the robots I know doesn't even do that. He can use photon energy from the sun."

"Wow, you're a farmer? I like apples!" Atom paused. "Oh, but I guess you don't need to fly to grow 'em."

[appletastic]

Applejack looked on in surprise. "Whoa nelly! Now that's a new one," she gasped, trying to imagine a pony with rocket hooves. It just didn't seem to work.

"Nah, I don't need to go up to buck 'em. One hard kick from the ground will bring 'em all tumbling down," she puffed out her chest, rather proud of her apple-bucking skills. "Don't see why I'd need wings for that."

[tetsuwan-atom.livejournal.com]

"Neat, huh? I guess I could run places, too, but it makes it easier to get over lakes and oceans."

Ponies with rocket hooves? It's more likely than you think (http://www.flickr.com/photos/65137250@N03/5941889372/).

"Well, if you don't need wings, you don't need 'em. Most humans I meet wish they could fly, though. And they don't really have magic to help them do it."

[appletastic]

"I bet it does," Applejack was sure. After the way Rainbow gloated, it had to be easier. Maybe it would be if she practiced with these new wings, she thought, but they still didn't quite feel like her.

"Huh. Seems like almost every human I meet here has magic," she'd noted. "I guess they're different places. But...hm. I could keep these things folded and keep going my old way."

Once she got down from the tree, of course. Landing looked to be difficult.
