Sexuality of the Mane 6?

[Thrond 3,263]

For the show's sake, it's very likely that they'll all be shown to be heterosexual where it's shown at all, as many have said. Meanwhile, for my writing purposes, it really depends on what my objective is, although I do enjoy the everyone-is-bi-or-pan idea. If I were to pin them down arbitrarily, though? It'd probably look something like this. 

 

Twilight Sparkle -- Bisexual. Would probably label her as asexual were it not for Equestria Girls, but then there's the whole Flash Sentry thing, plus I've come to ship SunLight pretty hard. 

 

Rarity -- Heterosexual. She has confirmed interest in the opposite sex. Chose not to label her bisexual for arbitrary reasons. 

 

Rainbow Dash -- Heterosexual. Based partially on inverting the popular fandom idea, but mostly arbitrary. 

 

Pinkie Pie -- Pansexual. Because Pinkie Pie. 

 

Applejack -- Homosexual. Seeing Applejack as straight isn't common quite like seeing Rainbow as lesbian is, but it's gotten into my head enough that I wanted to invert it. 

 

Fluttershy -- Homosexual. Just for balance, really. 

 

bonus:

Sunset Shimmer -- Homosexual. Was not actually interested in Flash, and you cannot convince me that she doesn't have strong feelings towards Princess Twilight.

I think its up to interpretation. Its called FANfiction for a reason so anyone can put any headcanons on the ponies. Its their story/art/etc. It would be nice to have a diversity in the actual show because being gay/bi/pan/ace/etc. Isn't just an adult thing. It could show the younger kids that its okay to be who you are and educate the kids. But sadly our society is too stuck up for that.

 

But if someone has a fanfiction pairing that you don't like then just don't read it. Its that persons story they can write and pair whoever they want.

Evryone but rarity seems to be asexual

So i will go with this:

 

Twilight: asexual unless you count eqg

 

Rd: asexual

 

Pinkie: asexual

 

Fluttershy: asexual

 

Applejack: asexual

 

Rarity: heterosexual

[Widdershins 9,959]

   Well, It is rather hard to tell orientation of somebody without outright asking them. But, I like to think it has something a bit to do with their personalities. As that is sort of the reason we have six main characters in this show, to get different viewpoints and avenues for character development.

 

   Now the easiest to tell, by far, is Rarity. The show has made no light work of showing her interest in stallions albeit in a way to make a jab at her manipulative flirting. Plus, considering her rather high view of her reputation, she really does seem the Straight Stereotype to balk & get huffy at the implication that she might be gay. Does that mean she can't be gay, of course not, some of the best shipping fics I've come across have involved the ensuing hilarity of Rarity!

 

   As for Pinkie, its rather a bit harder to tell. I do get the feeling that many in the fandom see her irrepressible energy & her self-given title of a Party Pony and assume she's a loose mare. While I understand that, I've seen her capable of calming down on the odd occasion to fully assess a situation & consider the feelings of others. Not...always...I do have to admit...but regardless she strikes me as the sort to care too much for others to hurt their feelings by ditching them after a one-night stand. Though, as she holds as many parties as she clearly has she has undoubtedly had to deal with those types with ill intentions or the occasional drunk mare and I like to think she's had the practice to flirt with the best of them. Madame de Pie does strike me as someone that'd be open with their sexuality, were this not a show for kids I fully expect her to be that one friend who just won't stop with all the crass sexual jokes. Though I wouldn't be surprised if Pinkie was still a virgin. Would however be surprised if a certain other previously-mentioned mare was...

 

   The next two girls are significantly harder to place. Applejack has always seemed to care more for working on her farm then even spending time with other ponies. She gets a ticket for the biggest shindig around and what does she do? Get profits for her farm. Rarity goes far out of her way to spend time with her in one of the more recent episodes & AJ cares more for work, yet again. I'd put Applejack more as an Asexual. Sure, if you took the effort and straight-up asked for a date with her she'd probably accept without bothering twice to think of what your gender was; just reckon ah'm gon' have me a hard time fittin' ya inta mah shed-ule on account of the eighteen things ah gotta do at this farm before noon!

 

   And now for the big one! I do agree with that sentiment, that everyone wants a piece of Rai-Rai. Confidence is attractive, doubt many can argue that point, but I don't think Rainbow Dash cares that way. She loses her temper on a hairstring. Sure, I can agree she's protective and kind to Fluttershy and with her personality that IS saying alot! But this is the ever-fluffin' FLUTTERSHY we're talkin' about! Her personality trope grates on me and I still want to protect & hug her! Way I see it, Dash has extraordinarily high expectations. Both in herself, as we've seen her collapse under pressure a few times in the show despite her bluster, and in others with as often as we've seen her lose her temper. Dragonshy, one of my favorite episodes, sort of shut the door in my mind on Flutterdash. RD spent the entire episode grumbling & scowling at ol' Fluttershy instead of helping her with her fear. In my opinion, RD doesn't look like she'd accept anyone who would hold her back. But! In the newer episode of Stranger than Fanfiction, we saw RD meet somepony with a common interest, a stallion that could meet on her ends & make her happy! To me, that darn near seemed like the writers attempt to say "No, no guys! She straight, honestly! Stop with all the shipping!" . You can't TELL me that wasn't a date!...well, until he proved just as mouthy as she was to add hilarity and drama.

...still yet to see if this will challenge my Raridash...Rairibow?...Rainity?...

 

So that leaves us with what, Twilight and Fluttershy? Aye, sort of lump them a bit together, as they are both the clearest introverts of the group. Maybe it's just my own thoughts, but i'm inclined to think that introverts are more likely to give consideration to being gay. As much as we've seen Twiliey avidly research anything regardless of its importance (she has a book that tells you how to RUN for fluff's sake!) no doubt she has some bookcase of personal books she keeps well-hidden from anypony who wanders in and especially any young dragons. I like the notion of some comic strip jokes you see about DeviantArt that portray Twilight as an avid maker & reader of lurid fanfiction. Twilight knows about sex, and has thought about it in depth. Anypony who spends that much time reading & thinking has had to at some point! She is Bi- at the LEAST!

 

   As for Fluttershy, well...have to agree. She spends most of her time holed up in her house and is afraid to meet most anypony. But still, if you took the time to ask her, i'm sure she wouldn't have the heart to turn you down because she's not attracted to your gender. What she needs is somepony just outgoing enough to make plans and pull her into an adventure, but introverted just enough to stop & listen to her.

That one episode about the Smokey Mountains or whatever. Where it's middle of a battlefield & Twilight is sitting there depressed at her failure and Fluttershy comes up, rests a hoof on her shoulder & gives her a calm, gentle solution.   ....darn near broke my heart, there.

 

Twi-shy All The Way!!!

[Kings&Hooves14 616]

Applejack - bi?

Twilight - straight

Pinkie - I agree with ChocolateCrane

Fluttershy - bi?

Rarity - straight

Moleman - gay, but nobody's gay for Moleman (sorry...couldn't resist)

Hard to say, I don't really pay attention to stuff like that.

[They call me Loyalty 1,948]

There's such an amount of sexual tension between Applejack and rainbow dash, it makes me wonder when we're gonna see them both get it on.


I want to see an episode focused on loving passion. Make it happen, hasbro!

I care not for world-wide repercutions. Make it so it's for "adults"

Sexuality of the highest quality for soul upliftment.

And double the kisses, everywhere!

[Vlazamal 338]

Rarity is a straight white mare.

[Snow 7,001]

All of the mane 6 are straight females, though I am not one to pass up a good fannon ship anyway

i'll never understand the sick fantasy's of some in this fandom. all of the mane 6 are straight females, stop with the excuses for lesbian fan ships plz its killing me DX

Its fine to have some lesbian fantasy's , besides i dont think it will come true.

Now for Applejack , Maybe there are some gays in her Family ,though she has many relatives lol.

I don't think there's anything sick about people trying to find a little bit of themselves in the characters that they love.

[Rarity#0284 43]

Majority of people say that Rainbow Dash is Bi?

 

 

In a happy mood: ALL RIGHT, yeaaass!!

 

Rainbow is into sports and she's athletic, so The Bi thing suits her. I can see Pinkie Pie is kind of fun loving and nice so I cannot see anything there.

 

I cannot see anything in Applejack.

 

Rarity, Well, She's classy so I think either Straight or She doesn't care.

 

Cannot say anything about Fluttershy only she's socially awkward.

 

Twilight, Cannot see anything.

I'd be as happy as anyone for Rainbow Dash to be Bi, but you need more evidence than her sporting achievements. I know plenty of straight female (and straight male) athletes.

[Rarity#0284 43]

Yeah, I See Rainbow Dash hangs out mostly with Girl Ponies but that could just be Hasbro's way of making the episodes interesting.

i think you have taken it too far bro... there is a difference between canon and fan made... in the show applejack and rainbowdash are just friends and sometimes argue and get a bit competitive.. for example the running of the leaves wasn't an erotic tail ffs it was about good sportsmanship.

there is nothing but foolish desires and fantasy's of the fans to suggest any such argument for homosexuality or bisexuality among the mane six characters.

Yeah. I agree, but We cannot stop people from having their fantasies! That would be a bit Godlike.

[DuskRain 193]

K this is what I think are you ready

 

skittl: dont care

apl: dont care

that one yellow one: dont care

white supremacy: dont care

cocaine hors: dont care

the underrepresented but bad lead character: dont care

If we are going off of stereotypes alone, Rainbow Dash fits more in the category of bisexual than lesbian as she doesn't meet the direct stereotypes of any particular lesbian and shares some qualities of the stereotypical straight girl. So I would wager if we are going off of that, she'd be bi.

[Victoria Sponge 1,017]

I feel like they are all straight though I can see Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy being bi.

[harleysdashie 8]

I think :

twilight is straight

applejack is lesbian

rainbow dash is bi

rarity is straight

fluttershy: idk really but I feel like she's bi or lesbian

pinkie pie is straight

 

It would be nice if mlp has a lgbt couple

[Honey Milk 13]

Twilight: Possibly Asexual and Biromantic? 
Rainbow Dash: Gay
Rarity: Unlike everyone else here I believe she would be pansexual, finding the beauty in anyone that appeals to her aesthetic, regardless of gender.

Fluttershy: Asexual

Applejack: Bisexual or Straight. Possibly Bi-curious!

Pinkie Pie: Pansexual

...homosexuality isn't any more a sick fantasy than heterosexuality. I do ship ponies, but it's not for any sort of sexual reason. 

[cider float 2,537]

As far as things go, their sexuality is either undetermined or sit on heteronormativity. Twilight and Rarity are the only ones so far that showed interest to another stallion in that way. 

[Connie 320]

Really? I mean why would anyone care about the sexuality of animated colored horses ponies?

 

But whatever 'this is how I see it '-'

 

Twilight - Heterosexual

Applejack - Heterosexual

Rarity - Heterosexual

Pinkie Pie - Pansexual

Fluttershy - Asexual

Rainbow Dash - Bi-Curious/Bisexual/Homosexual ????????????????????????

[cider float 2,537]

 

Going to go on a Pinkie hunch but by the way all the mares responded to Twilight's googlie eyes on Flash Sentry and noticing what was going on all the mane six could be heterosexual.
