so uh. me and connorbal have a collab next gen now. uh.  
this whole next gen is based around the couples accidentally having kids - hence, “oopsverse”. each scenario is a bit different, though, so its worth it to explain all of those along with the actual next gen characters.we spent wayyy too much time and energy on all of this so i REALLY hope you all like them and this au in general ;___;
 
 
red velvet - sombra / svengallop
 
talent: upcycling / thrift store owner  
personality: despite her parents, red velvet turned out to be an incredibly kind pony. she does so almost as a sort of prank on sombra who does sometimes wish that red velvet would have turned out to be evil. she has umbrum magic - she can turn herself into a shadow and has strong “unicorn magic” as others would see it, so he is initially disappointed at her decision to use it for good. she eventually opens a thrift store and puts her passion into making use of things other people would see as trash or used up. she isn’t embarrassed or worried by the fact that her parents are such infamously bad people - she knows them for who they are: flawed but trying their best to be dads.
 
 
venus - cadance / shining armor / sunburstoops: cadance and shining armor had both had a crush on sunburst for a while and when they talked it through together they were like “yeah… we want that” so they started aggressively flirting with him until they couldnt handle it anymore and just asked him to join in one night. they didnt mean to have a kid from that but they were all perfectly fine with it. since cadance was the one that got pregnant, they were all curious to know if it was shining or sunburst’s kid, but when the baby arrived they couldnt deny that she looked like all three of them.  
talent: match-maker / relationship expert  
personality: venus is… peak useless lesbian. she’s great when it comes to managing other people’s love life - using astrology to determine people’s compatibility on a deep level and to work through their problems - but she can never seem to find someone for herself. she’s had a crush on red velvet for as long as she can remember and everyone can see that red velvet would reciprocate except venus herself. other than that, she’s also just a bit slow in general - a daydreamer, not always there.
 
 
sugarbee - big mac / flimoops: big mac happened to be around while flim and his brother were trying to con ponies once again at some kind of farmers market. he confronted them about it but instantly the tension could be felt between him and flim. they slept together, called it a one-off, but then they kept mysteriously seeing each other around… eventually flim got pregnant from one of these meetings. big mac’s family were furious - one for sleeping with flim of all people, and two for having premarital sex and getting someone pregnant to boot. they were married quickly so they could cover it up to the rest of the extended apple family.  
talent: musician / dancer  
personality: sugarbee took after flim in a lot of ways - she’s lazy around the field and shirks hard work at any opportunity. her real passion is making music and dancing, although usually this comes in the form of memes and stupid youtube videos. she gets that good ad revenue but her parents dont understand how this could possibly be a real job. they encourage her to work on her “real music” which she does have, but if she’s being honest she cares more about the memes than the “real” stuff.
 
 
misty may “mizzy” - rainbow dash / high windsoops: high winds had had a crush on rainbow dash for the longest time, and she was always known for saying whatever she was thinking even if she didnt mean to, so it was only a matter of time before she accidentally asked rainbow dash to sleep with her. she instantly berated herself thinking “how stupid! theres no way!” but to her surprise she actually enthusiastically said yes. they didnt intend on having a kid but neither of them were particularly bothered by it. high winds did have to take a long while off from being a wonderbolt, but she maintains that it was all worth it.  
talent: scientist  
personality: somehow misty may, aka mizzy, became the brainiac of the group. rainbow dash laments her unwillingness to participate in sports of any kind but does encourage her to pursue her dreams anyway. she loves the sciences and mostly studies weather science - although she prefers to stay on the ground where her friends are these days. she cant help being a bit of a smart-aleck which annoys rainbow dash to no end. she doesnt actually look down on anyone without the same knowledge as her, of course, but it comes out that way anyway.
 
 
belle heather - lily lace / suri polomareoops: lily and suri met during a fashion show one night and they had a one night stand. not too much to it, lily was used to these kinds of things but she WASNT used to getting pregnant from them. she kept it a secret, moved to ponyville with help from rarity, and didnt tell suri until years after the kid was born. suri had actually already gone and settled down with someone else and had a child with them, but she agreed to be in heathers life more as a parent from that point onward.  
talent: gardener  
personality: heather’s the trademark “mom friend” who keeps everyone in line as long as they’re going crazy - but, if left to her own devices or with someone who is actually chill, the wilder side comes out. she also just loves plants a lot - she has over 70 just inside her house. she has a name for each one and tends to them individually every day, even if it means being late to an event. she treats her friends the same way, of course which can be overbearing but sometimes its needed.
 
 
rigamarole “rig” - filthy rich / spoiled richoops: filthy and spoiled rich were done having children, one was good enough for them. but during a pretty emotional and heated argument threatening divorce, they decided to make up and didnt think about using protection - they were too old for that, anyway, right? of course spoiled rich got pregnant, though. when news of the new kid reached diamond tiaras ears she couldnt be more upset. a new sibling who would take all the attention during her teenage years? she resented her parents for that, only later making amends with her new sister.talent: poetry  
personality: rig, as she goes by to everyone but her parents, is brash and rebellious. she was always forced to conform as a kid - wearing dresses, acting proper, staying out of trouble - so eventually she got fed up, chopped her hair off and started taking a stand. her parents cant stand her wild personality and they still try and force her to do what they want to this day. nowadays she makes poetry - spoken and written. she dyes her hair a new color seemingly every week. she spends a lot of time at sugarbee’s for… various reasons.
