that's quite true. If I had to guess though I'd say the lower part would be the equivalent of the midwest of the US if the Crystal Empire was like the top of Canada. But even not, we don't know the scale of the world here, it may stretch down quite close to the equator for all we know (unless there's a map I'm not aware of)

I don't remember Equestria being a particularly cold place.

It's not an excuse to exclude, and you're right that a homosexual relationship shouldn't be more "adult". But there are a lot of problems in the way the relationships have been presented that will turn people off to changing their minds anyway. I really don't want to see anyone kiss on TV unless it's for a good reason, if it's two men doing that it's going to naturally turn more people off because of the conditioning they have to associate what they see now with porn or what have you. Right thing? No. But that's how it is and you should work around that. You won't change people's minds by turning them off by just throwing these things in to make them like it. I know people can do the same thing with a heterosexual relationship and no one thinks of it like this but one is stigmatised, and the other isn't, and so the degree of exposure brings about different feelings on the intent. I mean this isn't the only time I've disagreed with people who I otherwise share a goal with. I support freeing the nipple but not #FreeTheNipple because going to town squares, ripping off your top, and demanding national coverage will just attract perverts, creeps, and make it a spectacle, just making the entire case worse for everyone.

It won't happen though I wish it would. I think the important thing here is a blatant and shoe-horned homosexual relationship vs a natural one. For example, it's very natural in some shows the way a man will say at a christmas episode about bringing his boyfriend over for dinner, and I think that's a good way, because it doesn't abnormalise it trying to normalise it and draw attention to it, but just slips it in as a regular event instead. Which would be opposed to what some shippers want, which is some tongue action and practically putting up a neon sign that says LESBIANS HERE!

Aside from LyBon which are already canon (you won't change my opinion with your headcanons! My opinion is FACT!).. Rainbow Dash - because c'mon Fluttershy - I think it'd be super adorable and it wouldn't surprise me Vinyl - Uh... fics As much as Braeburn and Big Mac are shipped, I don't see either one, primarily because of the whole Cheerilee thing with Big Mac and Braeburn because well.. I dunno. I always imagined the image that Applejack's family gives off as very Southern and cowboy-ish. You know - the guys who save women tied to train tracks and get a kiss. Stereotypical, but I just think it'd go against that whole stereotype that I feel the characters reference.

There's very little change from 20 to 40 years old other than the adding of wrinkles, change in colour, and similar. I'd assume that the mane cast are all at child-bearing age, so double that and do you think they'd be too different? Also I think Velvet looks a little older, so do the Cakes. I'd say at the beginning of becoming middle-aged. So around 40. I'd put Velvet around 35.

Yes. I'd never wear clothes. Ever. Everyone else is anyway. And ponies will stare at you regardless, being the only human they've ever seen. And who is going to judge your body if they haven't seen any to begin with? Yourself. Seek meditation It's always interesting how people think about being naked - what being the thirst thought about your genitalia.. (its very telling about how people think about nudity sadly) What about your feet? If you don't walk around barefoot already..splinters inbound!

A pretty dress is all I need

No, because that's how they've (presumably) always done it. They would have evolved a way to process any foreign harmful substances that enter their body through the mouth over a few million years, surely (or they'd be dead). Other thing is animals (including humans) can already do this. But you don't, and so guess who is going to have a bad time when they try the first time?
