Guest October 18, 2017 Share October 18, 2017 I can't even imagine Rainbow Dash even being in one in all honesty. It would feel pretty alien to me. It threw me off to see Buttercup with a crush on one of the Gang Green Gang boys and she reminds me a lot of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hierok 11,832 October 18, 2017 Share October 18, 2017 In a gay relationship I can picture it, but in a straight relationship? I don't know.

Rainbow Dash is very much like a boy in character for me and in gay relationship you would have girl x Rainbow (boy). In a straight relationship you would have boy x Rainbow (boy), so to me that would be kinda awkward. If I don't understand something or Interpret it wrong, I'm dutch.

n1029 229 October 18, 2017 Share October 18, 2017 (edited) Ignoring my irritation at RD being labeled "boyish" for a moment, there's a good reason she's been shipped by fans the most out of any character. She has such a complex personality that can play well off any other character in the right circumstances, which means the answer to this question can't be anything other than "It depends". I don't know if the showrunners plan on ever getting the main characters involved in romantic arcs (though I feel like they're going to have to eventually to stay fresh), but I'd certainly be very interested in what ideas they have for RD.

n1029 229 October 18, 2017 Share October 18, 2017 (edited) I mentioned in another thread that I thought her personality was comparable to EVE, the love interest in the Pixar film WALL-E, with maybe a more overt sense of humor and arrogance. I think a nerdier stallion like Sunburst (who's probably the male character most comparable to Wall-E in the show) would be similarly drawn to that kind of personality.

Megas 27,786 October 19, 2017 Share October 19, 2017 I think it'd be a really interesting idea how someone like RD would work in a relationship. But it'd undoubtedly be opening up the gates of hell if they actually went with this idea, as RD is the most shipped character in the show, and whomever you pair her up with, you'll have fans who'd be infuriated with whoever she'd end up with 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Testa 5,505 October 19, 2017 Share October 19, 2017 It would probably be similar to how her relationship with Tank was, or how she came around to Spas or Books or other things she likes. She'd think they are annoying and cramping her style at first. Then they'd bond over something (most likely a life threatening situation cause le Drama). She'd want to be affectionate with them, but she'd be really embarrassed and reluctant to do anything like public displays of affection. Once she's comfortable with the idea though she'll be shamelessly okay with the idea and would probably be super loyal and affectionate. That's just how she is, She has to gradually lower her "cool" shields before she can be comfortable showing that she likes something, or someone. 4 http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Billy%20G%20Gruff http://billyggruff.deviantart.com/ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPVpSXbUpDYTcaFHTPiPjYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shipping in general is probably a no-win situation as far as keeping fandom emotions in check, but regardless of what their knee-jerk reactions are I still trust the writers will do what they think is in the best interests of the series.

RD trying to reconcile that sort of sentimentality with her "tough" persona would be pretty funny to watch. I imagine there would be a lengthy "He's not my coltfriend!" phase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how would it be awkward for a tomboy to be in a relationship with a guy? I know a ton of tomboys who are in relationships with guys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the right way to explain that, although I get it. She seems like she would fit more into the "traditional male role" in a straight relationship, so I can't picture her as anything other than liking other mares unless she can find a stallion who specifically likes this kind of personality in a woman. Someone did an analysis that I saw on YT of RD's sexuality based on episodes available at the time. Season 4 or 5 I think? Their conclusion was that she's either lesbian or asexual. She has been shown at the time having no interest in stallions romantically and gets along with other mares very well. There was that wingboner for Pinkie a couple of times, but other than that she hasn't been all that interested in other mares either. This has remained constant all through season 7 so far well, the show is all about breaking stereotypes. So the hell with "traditional roles". There's plenty of tomboyish women out there in the real world that are very much straight, and plenty of straight men who are equally attracted to this type of woman. Really, I think it's simplifying RD to assume she's not straight based on her strong personality and lack of overt interest in stallions/getting-along-better-with-mares/wingboner-with-Pinkie-(seriously?). None of that has anything to do with sexuality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about when she was annoyed by Fluttershy's creepy brother that lived with his parents? Cause I am pretty sure anyone would react the same in that situation. And wait, so even in a homosexual relationship there is a "male" and "female" role? That makes no sense. What do you even mean by that anyway? And with the "someone did an analysis on YT of RD's sexuality", are you talking about Brony Notions BS shark jumping video that made no sense? He was the only person to ever make the "wingboner" argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdylta 42 October 19, 2017 Share October 19, 2017 Meh, I could go on responding to all the comments, but I'll just make my own post: Realistically? There would probably be no romantic arc with RD. Romance is simply not the focus on the show. In the event there is an arc? Well, I might see her trying to be cool around him (yes, him). Showing off her awesomeness, perhaps being a little awkward behind the scenes, and getting teased by the other 5. But later she becomes more relaxed and is, well, herself around him. And about the boyishness, just think of the many tomboy women out there that are in relationships with men. It's not that shocking really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's grown quite a bit over the seasons, so I imagine she won't be as reluctant as before, but I can still see this tendency playing out. This is actually very close to my headcanon scenario. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
