Bullies Needed (Patreon)
Content
Heyo, I’m thinking of exploring Bruce’s past (and also by proxy the pasts of Pandora, Moondancer, and Cupcake). Back when he was a brute and a bully. I figure he led a pack of other colts that enjoyed harassing the meek and vulnerable for laughs. I need to make one or two bully characters for Bruce to hang out with. If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear em! The characters can be nextgens of canon show ponies or just random OCs. I’d like them to be male, and maybe about 16 years old each (or older, they may have been held back a grade or two). I’d like them to be mean and jerkass-y and tough, but also compelling, not boring, like the stereotypical “gimme ur lunch money” bullies we see in media. I’d have based em off the bullies I knew growing up, but mine were all girls that only made the occasional catty remark that I was spacing out too much to notice.
so. Bully ideas! Suggest away!
EDIT: I‘d like to add that I’d prefer if the bullies’ backstories weren’t too similar to Bruce (who bullies because of neglectful/abusive parents and deep-seeded insecurities). I’d also want it to be apparent that Bruce, Bully 1, and Bully 2 are actually friends, as in they do actually like each other and act as surrogate family to one another, cruel and malicious though they are to others.
