So why isn't Tootsie Flute part of the Hooves family in fanon?

[Never2muchpinkie 211]

Everyone likes to say Dinky is Derpy's daughter. Despite their race difference of pegasus and unicorn they look very similar.  

 

When Sisterhooves Social came along Amethyst Star/Sparkler was added to the Hooves family as Dinky's older sister. Makes sense.

 

But wait! In the Mysyterious Mare Do Well episode we see Amethyst having a picnic with Tootsie Flute

 

 

 

 

Granted, it doesn't HAVE to mean they're related,(she could be foalsitting, after all) but given the way the fandom hitched onto Derpy/Dinky/Doctor Hooves and then added on Amethyst it's a shame poor Tootsie doesn't get more love.

I like the headcanon that Amethyst foalsits for Tootsie. I think it would be a better idea than adding every single new foal they're seen with to the Whooves family.

I'm gonna get killed for this, but for one DON'T think Dinky is Ditzy's kid.

 

Heck, isn't "Dinky Doo" a fan name anyway???

I don't either. For many reasons. I don't like Derpy being shipped, or with a foal, and the fan-foal the fans have given her looks 99% like Derpy, and feels too 'clone-ish", when we've seen the parents in the series (Rarity/ Sweetie Belle's, Twilight's/ Shining Armor's, Pinkie Pie's) look vastly different from their children.

Doesn't stop the fans. Remember "Broken quill" pony from Trade ya?

 

 

 

The fan name for this one is Chirpy Hooves, and most of the fan art is with Derpy and/or Dinky, just because they look a lot alike.

Well, there's no way of breaking that connection at this point. The fanart is too strong with this ship. Is there a reason Dinky CAN'T be Derpy's kid? We've seen that Amethyst is Dinky's sister from Sisterhooves Social, which makes Derpy seem too young, but pony bodies only go from baby, child, adult,and elderly, so we have no idea what the ages are. Derpy could be in her forties while Amethyst is in her teens.

 

Anyway, ponies don't always vastly look different than their parents.  You brought up Twilight's parents. Twilight Velvet is basically a recolor of Twillight, just with a slightly altered mane. They both have that same part in their mane, and both her children have highlights in their mane.   Rainbow Dash and her dad also have the same rainbow mane.

I'm with Free Will on this; we need to draw the line somewhere.  Though---making Tootsie a cousin or niece or something like that might work.
