Now that Chapter 12 is finally finished, I can at last share the headcanons about the girls and their minis that I promised in this long post that I wrote down a few months ago.
Bolt likes to rest on his huge pillow nest in Rainbow’s house. She just joins him and chills there too
He makes chirping sounds to talk to animals. Tank likes him a lot
Watches Rainbow like a hawk— literally. He doesn’t even realize he does it. He even stares at her while she sleeps:
"WTH, DUDE?!"
"Your blanket fell off."
Flying together is their favorite thing. Racing is a daily must
Brings her random sticks. No one knows why
He shows affection with gentle nudges and soft nibbles
If Rainbow does something reckless, expect a mini scolding. He can’t help it
This little guy loves bath time. Especially bubbles. It’s his secret happy place
He can stay in the water for hours just recharging. Chill shark = happy shark
Sits politely while Pinkie bakes, totally amazed by her skills and tools
Tried helping once. Ended in a flour explosion. They just laughed it off
He thinks the oven is literal magic
Loves hugs, kisses and all the snuggles
His tail wags when he’s happy. It’s ridiculously cute
Enjoys her singing and loves dancing with her
Sometimes hums little tunes to himself when no one’s around
He shows off by knocking apples down with headbutts. It’s way faster than bucking
Grumbles when AJ tries to help, claims he can handle things on his own
Despises her dog and those chickens. Always in his way
Got super muddy once. AJ chased him down with a hose. He lost. She scrubbed him clean
He hates water and bath time
Gently head-bumps her leg when he wants attention (but acts like he doesn’t)
Loves getting scratched… but would never admit it
Sometimes wakes her up in the middle of the night cus he’s bored
Loves TV— Land Before Time is his absolute favorite, fight me
During breaks, they rest under a tree while AJ plays her guitar. It’s their thing
At first, he’s very careful. Not wanting to break anything or touch stuff without permission in her home
Offers to help with chores. Very polite and thoughtful
Sunset told him he doesn’t have to help all the time, this is his home too. He can relax
He tried comics and games but they didn’t really click with him
She suggested drawing. He was unsure at the beginning but gave it a go anyway
After some quiet time, he shyly gave her his drawing— it’s of her. It looked like it was drawn by a kid. Sunset teared up:
“Miss Shimmer?! I-is it bad?”
“No, no! It’s wonderful. You did great!”
She puts it on the fridge and hugs him tight. He’s so happy he promises to draw more
Head pats = favorite reward. His “wings” can also twitch when he's happy
Doesn’t like sleeping alone. He quietly sneaks to her bedside at night for comfort
He and her pet gecko Ray are total pals
Sunset sees him as a little brother. If anyone insults him? Terrifying Big Sister Mode: activated
She introduces him to all her animal friends and shares fun facts about each one
Constantly asks if he has recharged or eaten enough, very nurturing toward him
She gets worried when he overworks himself or skips rest
Cats love him, especially his warmth. They nap on him all the time
He’s incredibly gentle with small animals, always careful where he steps or sits
I like to think that he can remove his sharp weapon and shield from his arms whenever he’s near Fluttershy or the animals
Gets timid and flustered when she hugs or compliments him
Angel disapproves tho. Gets jealous when Lancelon gets more of her attention
Despite his tough look, he’s a distinguished little gentleman
Helps her with all the heavy lifting and trails behind her like a puppy
He and Opal do not get along
Does his best to keep things neat but his size makes it tricky
Bumps into things now and then, still learning his spacing
Rarity always checks in to make sure he’s okay and not overworking himself
She gives him energon treats and little gifts to show her gratitude (and mostly cus she likes to spoil him)
Bashbreaker has the biggest, fluffiest bed out of all the Mini-Cons. Absolute luxury
She calls him “deary” often. He gets flustered and looks away, which only makes her giggle more
He’s always alert and ready to defend her. Small but mighty
She gives him all kinds of books. He devours them, especially the ones for human culture and biology
Loves solving puzzles and keeping everything organized
Spends time with Spike when Twilight’s busy, they get along well
When she falls asleep on her desk, he brings her a blanket and coffee
Likes sitting close, just listening to her read or ramble about inventions/ideas
If she overworks, he’ll take her hand and guide her to bed. No arguments
Loves watching educational programs. Documentaries are his jam
