Ask Rainbow Dad!

[Jadefire 2,797]

Hi, everypony! I've recently got one of these new-fangled human inventions, er, Internet? Anyway, Rainbow Dash, you know her, right? She's kinda world-famous, you know. Anyway, my dear Rainbow badgered me into setting up this Ask thread thing. So I figured, why not?

 

So, ask away!

 

 

[Champion RD92 8,658]

Why is your daughter so awesome?

[Jadefire 2,797]

Why is your daughter so awesome?

 

That's all me, baby! Everything she knows and does, she got from me. :3

 

...and also her mother. Actually, mostly her mother. But don't tell anypony that, mkay?

What's the worst thing Rainbow Dash ever gotten sick from, and if not applicable, what's the worst thing Rainbow Dash was hospitalised for?

Hmm...That's a good one. Dashie never got sick very often, but there was one time when she was young she got the feather flu really badly. Oh, the poor girl had to stay home from flight school for a week. And probably vomited up more than she ate somehow. Ugh, it was horrible. And surprisingly enough, it was tye-dye, not rainbow. :\

What are your thoughts on Soarin'

[King Kenan 18]

Um sir I really admire and really um like your daughter so um is it ok if I well date her sometime.

[AnonyPoni 564]

Does RD have any brothers or sisters?

[Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682]

@Rainbow Dad:

 

This ain't about Dashie. You've lived your entire life up in the air, right? I ask this because I'm a pegasus who lived on the ground his entire life. Does that make me deprived?

This is your wife, right?

Firefly?

[Winona the Dog 1,984]

I'm sorry but your daughter is a bit full of herself.

 

Did you notice this?

[Jadefire 2,797]

Who now? Oh, that one Wonderbolt who's the heartthrob of all the Wonderbolts fangirls. He's alright, I guess. I met him in person once. Easy on the eyes, but he's a bit of an airhead.

You'll have to get permission from her. Last time I tried to set her up with a date, that did not end well. Nor did it end without a hospital bill.

 

Does RD have any brothers or sisters?

 

I hope not. As far as I know, she's an only child. If she's not, I'm going to get a little irate

 

We were going to have a little colt when Dashie was young, but...... *sighs* I'd rather not get into what happened there...

Not really, I know plenty of pegasai who spent most of their lives on the ground. Heck, my daughter's best friend was barely fit for the clouds, and moved to a cottage on the ground as soon as she was old enough, and as far as I know she turned out well for herself.

 

The clouds are great, sure, but it doesn't really matter if you live among them. You are who you are.

 

This is your wife, right?

Firefly?

 

Ah, my dear Firefly. She was a firebrand, that one. My friends thought I was insane for marrying a woman who's more man than I was, but I didn't care.

 

I'm sorry but your daughter is a bit full of herself.

 

Did you notice this?

 

What? My dear little princess? She's not full of herself! Not at all! She has nothing but humility and modesty, and she'll never go out of her way to-*laughs* Sorry, couldn't say that with a straight face.

 

Yeah, I admit she's a bit arrogant. But she's a good pony, and she has love for her fellow ponies. And that's what I'm proud of.

OK, now this is about Dashie: When she was a filly, did she nap a lot or was she as active as ever?

 

OK, this is for you: How do you feel about these things? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_transmission

Where do you work? Or were you a stay-at-home Dad?

 

What's your favourite kind of salad dressing?

 

What's your favourite sports team?

 

Do you ever go on vacation?

 

Is the hair from Mom's side of the family or Dad's, before you?

 

Did you ever read to Rainbow Dash?

 

What do you remember about Gilda?

She was a rambunctious little squirt. She'd play hard, but then she rested hard, too. She would run out of energy all the time, but she made up for it with spunk.

 

As for those metal wire things, w-what the hay are those? They look dangerous...

I was part of one of Cloudsdale's minor-league wingball teams for a while until when my contract was canceled right around Dash was born. Afterwards, I got a job in the rainbow factory.

 

I'm a Ranch kind of guy.

 

Hmm...if I had to pick just one, I'd go with the Vanhoover Hoofculese hoofball team. Either that, or my old team, the Cloudesdale Cloud Killers.

 

I try to take my family out traveling at least once a year. And we go camping from time to time. Haven't done so as much since Rainbow grew up, though.

 

That would be my father. Rainbow manes go back our family a long ways, apparently.

 

Heh. She'd kill me if I said, but yeah, I used to read to her at night when she was a filly. After she got her cutie mark, she was suddenly all "I'm too old for this egghead stuff". It was adorable.

 

Gilda? I actually don't remember much about her. She and Dash hung out a lot during flight school, but I never really got to know her, like she found me annoying or I was cramping her style.

By Rainbow Factory, do you mean the department within the Cloudsdale Weather Factory

Or do you refer to the violent fiction written by AuroraDawn?

The first one, of course. And besides, if I did work in a secret murder factory, I wouldn't tell you anyway.

 

Honestly, when that stupid book was written, it suddenly become so hard for the management to hire decent help. It was always high school dropouts and carnivore fetishests. It was such a pain.

What's the primary ingredient in Rainbows then? I've heard everything from paprika to gemstones are in it.

[Mywas 687]

I have the most important question in the world, Is Rainbow Dash attracted to mares or Stallions?

[Jadefire 2,797]

Rainbows are made when sunlight is split and scattered as it passes through a prism, such as rainwater. We mix the light-water mixture in the large vats in the rainbow factory to make a sort of rainbow soup, before pack it up and send it to weather teams who need them for storms.

 

I have the most important question in the world, Is Rainbow Dash attracted to mares or Stallions?

 

You're asking me this? You're seriously asking me this? Well, I will have you know that my little Dashie is attracted to...

 

er...

 

...you know, I'm actually not entirely sure. She never really brought any coltfriends home before she moved to Ponyville, so I've never actually seen her romantic side.

[King Kenan 18]

 

Hospital I like my odds. I can take it. I really admire her personality and loyality. So whatever she has plans for me, I'll be ready for it.

Yeah...Good luck with that. You're going to need it.

 

Here's a hint. She likes confidence.

You familiar with the term "Sky Rim"? Let's just say I wasn't watching where I was going and accidentally got a little too familiar with one of my teammate's rear end.

 

Gods, that was embarrassing.
