Sketchy comic of first impressions.
Available in Chinese here: [link]
NOTE: Apparently the foal (who IS a canon character) should be saying "Mademoiselle" Cadence, not "Madame" Cadence. Apologies for my poor French and thanks to ~AFALLINGBIRD for pointing it out.
And to clarify: Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is from pony-Italy in these comics.

wow, nice interpretation of the kind of strange series of facts we do know about cadence. o.O i never thought she could be a foreigner, and that she could need to have a real job because of her family tradition

Have your comic been submitted to EQD before?

This one? Nope. I've had stuff on there in the past but it's been a while...
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I've been thinking of submitting it. Is it okay that I do it?

If you think it's worth it then go ahead.

Haha well be prepared 'cause EQD just gave you a full on solo box!

Cadance with an accent....that is just too precious....

In the last one I can hear "you give me baby" in the invisible panel
entire series so cute :3

This oddly makes sense. Just read through the entire comic, really manages to do a good job of explaining how Twilight had Cadance as a foalsitter without breaking any canon.

I fucking lol'd at Cadance's face in panel 5. XD Reminds me of foreign baby sitters. Like those who aren't very good at English.
"You give me baby, yes?
"uhh..."
"Give me baby now. Yes? I take care of it.
"uhmm..."

Woo, correct impression achieved!

I actually thought that Cadance would have a Hispanic accent when I heard her name was Mi Amore Cadenza so this makes sense.

I'm glad it's not just me who thought it!
π: 0 β©: 1
Well they won't change her voice, and her voice makes her rather American so I dunno if they'll do it now...
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, people pick up an accent after living somewhere for long enough, or it could be from just one side of her family... I remain hopeful.

I like the idea of Cadence being sort-foreign. "You give me baby, yes?" Awesome line.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you!
And I'm honestly surprised there's not more foreign Cadence in the fandom, "Mi Amore Cadenza" and all.
π: 0 β©: 1
For one thing the foreign Cadence theory would explain why Twilight hasn't seen Cadence in such a long time.
The other theory about Cadence's role as a princess I like is that Equestria is like tsarist Russia where every one ever so slightly related the crown is a prince or princess. (I've never liked the idea that Cadence and Blueblood are Luna's children. yes that's a real fan theory).
π: 0 β©: 1
Sadly they called Blueblood Celestia's nephew and the staff confirmed that Cadence was meant to be her niece. I don't like the idea that they're related by blood either, which pretty much leaves:
- They're related by marriage (e.g. Celestia was married to someone who was actually their uncle)
- "Nephew/Niece of Celestia" is more of an official title than a description of how they're related
Word of Faust is that Blueblood is the "great great great great great great great great great great great (and probably even more greats) nephew on Celestia's and Luna's mother's side, about 52 times removed, roughly speaking", though that still means he's related. It's a real pity Hasbro didn't let him stay as a Duke, it'd suit him better.
Then again I don't think Cadence is yet canon as being Celestia's niece (the staff have mentioned it but the cartoon doesn't) so there's room for that to go another way, like your Tsarist Russia idea.

Yeah to all of the above. But Still leaves me wondering... How can Cadence and Blueblood be Luna's children? Did Celestia give Nightmare Moon a stallion as a gift?
"I know being locked in the Moon for 980 years has been hard so here's a stallion to screw. I'll be back in nine months to pick up the children. They need to go to a good school" sound like the premise for a silly clop-fic.
Also if Luna is Cadence's mother you'd hope she'd turn up for her daughter's wedding. :/
My private fan-theory that Pinkie Pie is Discord's time displaced Daughter makes more sense.

"I know being locked in the Moon for 980 years has been hard so here's a stallion to screw." - That made me laugh.
I think most people take it as implication of another relative rather than "Luna's the mum". You'd think either Blueblood or Cadence would have some blue on them were that the case!
And Pinkie/Discord links are all great fun in my opinion, from friend to shipping to relative.

That's good, I like to make people laugh. The world needs more honest laughter.
"You'd think either Blueblood or Cadence would have some blue on them were that the case" Well not necessarily. Pony genetics are kind of screwy. Look at the Apple family. Applejack is ochre and apple bloom is yellow, okay. Big Macintosh is deep red, odd but I'll buy it. but Granny Smith is pale green? And apparently there's always a chance your children wonβt even be the same tribe as you. Pony genes are wired.
Ooooh for me some Pinkie links are better than others. I could write an essay on why I hate the DisPie shipping, but I've promised myself to stop getting worked up over it. So I'll just say to me Pinkie is light and Discord is darkness. And most shippers just ignore this and make Discord too nice.

Deep red: AB's hair, BM's fur
Yellow: AJ's hair, AB's fur
Orange: BM's hair, AJ's fur
They're the same colour set.
And there are very few green ponies, I think it's fair to assume Granny's fur gene is recessive?
As for Discord... Maybe he was different before he was first imprisoned but he honestly struck me as just having a twisted sense of humour. He had the power to turn the mane 6 into dust, or at least wipe their memories, but didn't, he just faffed about doing silly things. It's kind of how I'd imagine Pinkie or Dash would be if they had those powers but no friends to tell them when they'd gone too far. Chaotic neutral rather than chaotic evil, like the Q race he's based on; a weird sense of morality and a bit of a god complex but in this case just looking to be entertained.
It helps that he really fits the phrase "magnificent bastard".

Huh? Well played sir on the colour scheme.
As for Discord... well I know he could have done way worse with his power (but this is a kid show, he can't do too much) but he still strikes me a pretty evil. He especially left the mane six devoid of happiness. He could have just made everyone like his chaos, but I think he likes making ponies unhappy 
But that's just my opinion. I will say though he's quite different from Q. Q's games tend to have a moral purpose while Discord's games are just sadistic fun. Case-and-point, when Discord can't convince Fluttershy to hate her friends with deception he gets angry, then does it with magic.
I like talking with you, youβre a smart guy

Yay Apple colours!
And Discord struck me as "that guy" who, were the draconequus species holding a meeting, would insist on bringing in a hand puppet and mimicking the speaker in a silly voice no matter what the topic. Again, maybe the 1000+ yr imprisonment messed with him (it's implied he had awareness during) but everything he did was surprisingly sweet (quite literally in some cases). I know it's not G1 (he can't threaten to decapitate Spike) but the only ones he upset were the Element of Harmony wielders, and he did so by specifically disabling their personal Elements. Other than that Big Mac seemed happy as a prairie dog pun, Granny Smith was dancing, Angel had his herd, the bison were doing ballet... They all seemed pretty chipper. The only ones Discord hurt were the ones with the power to imprison him.
I guess he could have been warming up to something darker but maybe he wasn't. Maybe he just wanted a world of that jolly brand of crazy.
And yeah, proper discussions about cartoons full of colourful ponies are fun!

Reminds me of Fox and Krystal.

Cadence just invented the best pick up line ever

Oh wow I haven't read the entire comic and I already like it.

Yeah! I wish that Luna was foal sitting my little brother and and you know what else happens.

it would be Mademoiselle Cadance, not Madame Cadence.
Just sayin
π: 0 β©: 1
Even to the foals she's minding?
Not trying to be rude, I appreciate the feedback! I just thought "Madame" was more appropriate in this case. Does it not signify status at all?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, Mademoiselle is the same as the English "Miss" or unmarried woman. Madame is for married women, same as "Missus".
π: 0 β©: 1
So even an unmarried headmistress would be mademoiselle?

To be honest, Cadence is the niece of Celestia. I don't mean to brag or anything.

Just stumbled across this. I LIKE!

you make part 2, yes? Shiny and Cadence date, yes?

Haha, okay! Sort of. I'll finish the story at least.

Oh god, please continue this.
