How do you think each of the Mane Six will handle old age?

[Azureth 687]

Assuming they don't kick the bucket beforehand, how do you see each of the Mane Six handling old age? I see it something like this:

 

Twilight: She will be more or less content while still studying and teaching younger Ponies magic among other things. I don't see it being too big of a deal for her.

 

Rarity: I see her handling it the worst. She will keep dying her mane as long as she is physically able and missing her younger years and youth. Though I see her taking pride in her boutique and all the dresses/outfits she has made over the years.

 

Pinkie Pie: I see her mainly joking around and still being a goof ball. She may lament not being able to be as active but I think she'd handle it pretty well.

 

Applejack: I see her turning into much like Granny Smith. Still as active as physically possible but knowing her limits and still being in charge of the Apple farm.

 

Rainbow Dash: I see her taking it pretty hard. Knowing she can't be as athletic as she could in her younger years and of course no more Sonic Rainbooms. But I could see her coaching younger Ponies and having a great time doing it.

 

Fluttershy: I don't see it bothering her that much. She'll still be taking care of animals and living in her cottage. Maybe going out now and then but for the most part spending her time like a hermit.

100% Agreed!

But Twilight doesn't get older right,

because she's an Alicorn..

Or is what I'm saying just wrong? D:

[KokuraiNoSenshi 3,463]

Twilight; Starswirl the Bearded 2.0, basically, becoming a powerful magician who creates new spells until the day she dies

 

Pinkie; That cooky old grandfather (or in this case, grandmother) who does all those silly magic tricks like the quarter behind the ear that will get the younger generations squeeling with joy, though I don't think she'll have the energy to create more intricate jokes

 

Rarity; That grandmother who talks about how when she was young she always had guys (stallions) always chasing her, and how hot she was when she was younger. Though she could also so be the knitting grandmother who makes hand made sweaters that everyone pretends to love because they don't want to hurt her feelings

 

AJ; Agreed with OP, Granny Smith 2.0

 

Rainbow Dash; The "Golden Years Granny" who never, EVER talks about anything but her accomplishments and pushes others to do the same if not better than what she did

 

Flutters; That old lady who feeds the pigeons

I'd think Rarity would be your first choice, with perhaps a bit of knitting involved. Other than that, this seems accurate.

No way, magical grandmother for the win! Even though Flutters is my fav, Twilight would make magical spells and the like, she's first choice for grandparent for me

This is a really interesting topic, it's something i doubt we would ever see in the show but it's something to think about.

 

Rainbow- Will probably live the longest, with regular daily exercise. I can see her being fustrated by not being able to create rainbooms anymore and no longer being the fastest pony in Equestria, but she tries everything she can and tries not to let her age get to her

 

Applejack- Acceptance very early on, becomes wise and understands her limits.

 

Rarity- Still remains fabulous, and still keeps up with the latest trends. Worries more abour her appearance and looks for new ways to keep her mane coloured and her wrinkles reduced.

 

That's all I can think of right now

Well, Meghan Mccarthy said Twilight will not outlive her friends, so I'm not sure if they'll be immortal or just age slowly. I guess we'll never really know for sure.

I believe she'll age slowly.

[Celli 4,339]

I believe she'll age slowly.

If that's the case, then so would the rest of the mane 6, as I mentioned, Twilight will not outlive her friends.

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,839]

Well..Pinkie would most likely ask you to drawn her young again, nicely ofcourse. 

[Nowwithevenmore~ 20]

Lies, they'll never get old. Just look at Pokemon and The Simspons

[CC_Maud_Pie 6,431]

Twilight Sparkle: She'll be too busy with her work to worry about her age.

 

Applejack: Like you said, she'll become like Granny Smith. She'll talk a lot about her childhood and about the friends she's made.

 

Pinkie Pie: She'll handle it well BUT, since she's a party-obsessed pony, she'll become deaf from loud music and will risk dying soon from all the cake she's eaten. Therefore, she'll end up having to act like her sister Maud.

 

Fluttershy: She's too easy going and fond of nature to worry about her age.

 

Rarity: She'll get stressed out over her looks.

 

Rainbow Dash: She will get more injuries if she continues to compete when older.

[Zekromic 1,054]

Twily: I don't think she'll mind much, in fact, she might be thrilled. She'll see herself as a mare who faced and accomplished many things, and lived a fulfilled life, and wish to pass wisdom to young generations

Pinkie: I don't think she'll give a fuck of being old, she'll be the same party pony

AJ: Yep, I agree with Granny Smith 2

Flutty: She'll keep her tranquil ways, that's for sure

Dashie: Yep, aging might hit her the hardest for not be able to make her stunts, but she might compensate by being an instructor

Rarity: I don't think it'll hit her as hard as many think. Sure, she might start to freak out at first, but she'll come in terms with it, try to keep a good look for her age
