If it was only Celestia and Luna, I would've probably said immortal. But with the addition of Cadence (who clearly ages) and *sigh* Twilight (who again ages or rather grows), between 1k and who knows.

The two isn't necessarily mutually exclusive. Just because they aged doesn't mean they aren't immortal... I'm sure Celestia and Luna were kids at some point and grew.

While watching the show... It felt more like they were friends compared to Rarijack. It felt outta nowhere and disjointed.

Rainbow Dash and Luna seems to have a ton of people obsessed with them. The Rainbow Dash train has slowed over the years though.

All the rest of the characters being mentioned aren't really overrated... because a good amount of people already dislike them.

I saw a comment mention Flurry Heart... really. Flurry Heart is the most hated thing in the show I think.

I think Mean Twilight is basically the road Twilight was on if she never changed and didn't meet her friends to the highest degree.

Rarity is wealthy and in the 1% but Twilight is the one percent of the one percent. Her castle is possibly the most expensive property in equestria... She also owns a successful school. She's a princess... yada yada. Not even Rarity is close to that.

The list is something like this.

Twilight >>>>> Rarity > AJ >> Rainbow Dash >> Pinkie Pie >>> Fluttershy

It used to be Sweetie Belle but Scoots just is always so positive and most mature out of them all. It's hard for her not to become my favorite. If Gabby was in the show more often then it could be her.

Nostalgia wise it's season 1-3 but objectively... the best era is easily season 4-5. 

I think Starlight is a more well written villain turned good guy. She just didn't stop doing sociopathic things, she just didn't have a evil motive behind it. Sunset needed more development in lowering her temper I feel.

Hmm... I am sure I liked someone more than I do now... but it's ... I still really like them so it's hard to say.

The three that popped in my mind is Fluttershy, Applejack, and Discord. They were much higher on my list at season 1 than season 9 but I still like them.

I can't really say much except i like other characters more now.

Even in the later seasons... you could kind of tell they hung out with each other less and less because twilight made it a big deal they hang out in season 8. Earlier episodes, they kind of hung out every day but later on it's probably much less often.

I haven't thought about actual ages of everyone in awhile but here we go.

At the beginning...

Twilight: 21 (Feels like she's fresh out of college working on her thesis to me.)

A.J.: 23 (One of the older one if not oldest. She mentioned being the last in her class to get a cutie mark.)

Rarity: 24 (She also mentioned getting her cutie mark late. She's also the only one to have grey hair coming in in the future.)

Pinky: 22 (No real reason, she acts young but her younger model looked about the same size as Rarity and A.J. I got a feeling she's older than she seems.)

Fluttershy: 23 (She mentioned she was a year older than Pinky. She was also the biggest of the main 6 when they all got cutie marks. I think the cutie mark event happened 10 years ago so the math adds up. Her parents look like grandparents and she has a younger brother whose at least college age in season 6.)

Rainbow: 19 (She was the youngest, first in her class to get cutie mark. She was the smallest when they all got cutie marks by... a lot. Also... In season 4, she has a birthday. The candles that we can see counted to 21. I would assume she turned 21 in season 4 episode 12 Pinkie Pride. This would also add up with Season 1-3 being 1 year as Celestia does the Summer Sun Celebration again at the beginning of season 4.)

Spike: 10 (I think he's slightly older than the CMC.)

CMC: 8 (Sweetie bell is significantly smaller then we even first see her on her 5th birthday so any age lower than this seems like a stretch.) 

At least eight or nine years pass because of how many heartwarming days are mentioned throughout the show... not to mention the ones that may have not been mentioned.

At the end...

Twilight: 30

A.J.: 32

Rarity: 33

Pinky: 31

Fluttershy: 32

Rainbow: 28

CMC: 17 (Probably should have changed models around Season 7 or so.)

Spike: 19 (Dragon age pretty slowly.)

And there you have it from me. All speculation but the best I can do with what I remember.

Bonus: Starlight, Trixie.

I think Starlight and Trixie are most likely older than the main 6.

Season 1 Beginning...

Starlight: 26 (Her and Starburst seem to talk about school and college and like it was a long time ago. She also controlled the village for years. Her father talked about her leaving her room like a angsty teen. probably around 17. Her dad looks older than the other parents in the show as well.)

Trixie: 26 (She's been a traveling magician for awhile and even known as a powerful magician when we meet her. Same here with her dad, while the other main 6 parents look the same age as them... hers looks older.)

End

Starlight: 35

Trixie: 35

To be fair... The Starlight and Trixie arguments are bare and you could easily say that... Trixie started crazy young or Sunburst just flunked out of school recently but I just went with why I think they are older.

That's about it... might be remembering some stuff wrong tho.

I don't think Equestria has the same social economic rules as we do, the CMC have jobs as well, and they are children. For the same reason they are allowed to run a camp of their own. I took Faust' word of the mane six having the mental age of  10-15 year old girls

Hmm... that's fair. I took mental age as just that... mental age. Like, there's a reason she just didn't say they were these ages.

My headcanon is that in season 1 they had the following ages: 

Twilight - 15

Rarity - 16

Flutters - 17

Rainbow - 13

Pinkie - 14

AJ - 17

They are probably all above 18 at least in season 1 since they all have jobs. None of them are in some form of school except possibly Twilight who I would guess was in some form of college in season 1. We also have teenage models in later season which compare to fluttershy look in season 1 flashback.

Fluttershy also mentions she's 1 year older than Pinky.

In general... I would probably add about 5 years to everyone ages... while I think the flashback of them getting their cutie marks happened 10 years ago. That would make fluttershy around 12 and everyone else 12-8 which adds up.

I think it's pretty sure to say Fluttershy is the oldest, you can see her being bigger than the rest of them in the flashblack from season 1

This is possible... flutter also mentioned she was older than Pinky. Rainbow especially compared was extra tiny. She's always the youngest whatever.

-Twilight's age is 16 by the first season and 20 by the last.

Eh... this one is not possible at all because more than 4 years pass throughout the show. There's like 8 or 9 Heartwarming mentioned I think... which would make like 8 or 9 years. 

As far as ages are concerned... I think 16 is possible but unlikely. They all have jobs which kind of puts them above 18 in my eyes. We also see teenage models later in the show... which the main 6 are clearly not.

My guess... (really nothing to tie this down with at all)Twilight was around the end of college when the show started which would make her 21 or 22.

Yeah... I think they are going though their 20s during the show possibly hitting 30 ish around the end.

Twilight is pretty much immortal... but main 6 still getting older. Sad ending guaranteed.

Man I just think about celestia and luna having this group of friends when they were kids and they all aged and died while they stayed the same. Seems pretty sad.

The only reason I looked at the show was because of memes death battle and fan content. Then when I watched the show and it had it's own mythology... that's what made me stay I think. It turned out to be pretty good and weirdly realistic. The way everything worked made sense. Pinky's normal wacky cartoon weirdness was called out often.

Honestly, He was actually not all that wrong. Up until then... the school was a dangerous mess and how many times have the other races caused all kinds of trouble. As racist as it sounded... he had a point. Look at Shining Armor and the crystal empire when a changeling showed up. Shining Armor not only felt the same way. He and the crystal empire was kos with changelings. Hell, even Twilight wasn't really feeling it and only changed her views when she saw Spike trying to talk them down. Even if you were to fire him... there are probably a ton of people that agree with him. It will also look like an abuse of power.

I always thought it was pretty obvious Celestia did that. They did everything short of just saying it in the show to hint at her allowing nightmare moon free.

I would say they are 5-6 years. I don't think they are really teens yet. They act pretty young to me.

They have to be older than 5 or 6 at the beginning because we see sweetie bell at her fifth birthday party and she's a lot smaller than she is even at the beginning of the show. I would say 8 or 9 at the beginning and ... I dunno... like 15 by the end. Their models don't change but a ton of time passes throughout the show.

Main 6 are in there twenties, possibly early 30's for the older ones around the last season. They all have jobs and responsibilities at the beginning of the show.

The CMC are like 8-13 ish. Honestly... they probably should be teenagers by the end of things. We see sweetie bell at age 5 and she's a lot smaller than she is now.

When I watch the show... it felt like Twilight then a bit of a tie between Rainbow and Pinkie.

Pinky isn't anywhere near the most hated out the MLP cast I don't think. Now... she does have some episodes that kind of messes her up a bit but those are few and far between. Some people also tend to gravitate towards negative showings over the positive ones as well... to the point where one bad episode knocks her out of favor. It's not a big group of people though. Very few people who watch the show dislike her.

I don't think that Rainbow Dash should have become a Wonderbolt. 

I think the idea of her getting over that childhood dream and finding her own path of fulfilment is way more interesting and truer to her character. 

In fact, I think the idea of her becoming a daredevil or stunt performer like the Washouts is far more suitable. It incorporates her behaviour from earlier in the show better and has better potential for episodes.

That's pretty interesting. I always think about what would have happened if twilight didn't bother to stay in ponyville and went back to canterlot.

As terrible as she is... I don't think she's the worst mother. At least she's there.... and doesn't try to rip her kid out of the only environment they know without at least listening to what they think like Scoots parents. It's funny because we are actually suppose to like them. I even think evil bug queen Crissy is a better parent.
