Been playing drums for almost 10 years. Also can play bass guitar and piano with limits. Want to try Trombone in the future tho.
Welcome at the drum corpse.
Respect is earned, but I think it has to come from both sides. Especially the first meeting is important, since you make the first steps to a friendship, rivalry, or a neutral relationship.
Especially some more insight for Misses Cake and of course Burned Oak was amazing. I agree with you they haven't tot to spend time with their parents, especially Apple Bloom.
I would like to see them as henchmen of a greater villain, but that would be a cool scenario, I agree. Maybe they can try to get the Windigo's back again, but also try to control them.
