Sexuality of the Mane 6?


CT-1138

Recommended Posts

Since the nature of the show probably precludes anything else, I'd say all of them were straight, even though no definitive answer will likely be shown.

 

In my headcanon, though, Twilight, Rainbow, and AJ are definitively lesbian, Rarity is bi, and Pinkie and Fluttershy are undefined. No points for guessing who my main shipping targets are.

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.

 

Or, you know, they understand body language ...

I don't think lesbians have much care for the way heterosexual interactions work so they won't notice it or just won't give it much an interesting expression. 

 

Because lesbians don't understand how attraction works?  :wacko:  They're her friends, and they're noticing - for the first time as far as they know - that she's interested in somepony. Obviously they'd be interested in that (especially because they'd want to make fun of her for it later).  :P

This is how fandom ships them

Twilight- full on lesbian horse (negativity with Flash and Timber shipping)

Rarity - Bisexual,( if we are still doing Sparity and Fancy Pants)

Rainbow Dash - Bisexual (TwiDash, Soarin)

Fluttershy - she is lesbian I guess, (Discord is just definition of pedophile)

Applejack lesbian horse (cant think of any straight examples)

Pinkie Pie straight I guess

Rainbow Dash = asexual aromantic with one exception: Pinkie Pie :ooh:

Pinkie Pie = homosexual panromantic  (I think she loves Rainbow Dash, but I think she's also polyamorous and maybe they have an open relationship?)

Fairly certain about those two.

Rarity = Demisexual biromantic

Applejack = I feel bicurious homosexual?

Twighlight = bisexual, and aside from Equestria Girls, I'd like to say aromantic 

Fluttershy = she feels like an asexual or heterosexual tease

Their sexuality is never explicitly brought up, but from what I've seen I think I can safely assume they're all straight.

Their sexuality is never really brought up, and the creators probably intended for them to be straight so as not to arouse any controversy. Although there's been a lot of advancements in how LGBTQ+ people are treated over the last decade, it's still a sensitive issue, sadly. :okiedokieloki:

But as far as head canons go, I've always figured:

  • Twilight is asexual (but heteromantic) ^_^
  • Apple Jack is straight :smug:
  • Pinkie Pie is bisexual/pansexual :pinkie:
  • Rarity is straight :please:
  • Rainbow Dash is a lesbian :sneer:
  • Fluttershy is bisexual (female preference) :fluttershy:

I don't imagine this will ever receive any sort of official confirmation but with such a significant apparent gender imbalance I see Equestrian society operating with a more practical and open approach to sexuality than modern Western civilization. Everypony just makes love with whoever they want whenever they want (consensually, of course) and doesn't take it personally that they're not the only person their mate wants to do it with. It's only once you have kids that you're expected to settle down and make that your focus.

 

Everyone is bi, basically

Sorry for the necroposting, but I just want to put my own ideas here (especially with all the RariJack fuel, this might be somewhat relevant).

Depends on whether we're talking EG or FiM. Different characters. I'd say:

FiM:

Twilight: Straight. Shows no romantic reaction with any mares in the show. Flash Sentry (unfortunately) exists, so she's straight.

Fluttershy: Straight. For a shy pony, she never really shows any romantic interest except (in my unbiased opinion) in Discord. I swear they're more than friends, especially if you read the comics.

Applejack: Lesbian. No romantic interest in any stallions. Based on interactions with the mane 6, I'm guessing lesbian.

Rainbow Dash: Lesbian. Not only does she have a rainbow mane (not that it matters or was taken into account, but COME ON), but, as with Applejack, her interactions lead me to believe she's a lesbian.

Rarity: Straight. DAMN is she straight in FiM. Not just because she's easily the most feminine, but her flirtatious obsession with some stallions in FiM has become a staple for her character.

Pinkie Pie: Straight. CheesePie. I know it was only one episode, but the concept of them being lovers is adorable, so she's straight.

 

EG:

Oh, how the tables turn.

Twilight: Still straight. Timber Spruce...

Fluttershy: Lesbian. Plenty of FlutterDash fuel, so lesbian...

Applejack: Lesbian. Still the same. RoF exists.

Rainbow Dash: Lesbian. FlutterDash.

Rarity: Bisexual. OBVIOUSLY, the bi mood is too extreme.

Pinkie Pie: Lesbian. Not many SunPie shippers, but then there's me...

Sunset Shimmer: Actually confirmed bisexual in Twitter (as is Sombra, who knew?)

Anyway, time to disappear from Forums for a while. I'm too sleep drunk yet it's only 9.

I headcanon Twilight as bisexual. She even has the colors of the bi pride flag in her mane. The rest, I've never given it much thought. I'm pretty okay with any ship if it's written well, whether it's a gay or straight ship. Maybe some of them don't have any interest in romance at all.

Based on what we see in the show/movies, at least for me I guess, I would say:

Twilight Sparkle: at least heterosexual as she is attracted to Flash Sentry

Pinkie Pie: at least heterosexual as she in a relationship with Cheese Sandwich

Rainbow Dash: at least homosexual as she is in a relationship with Applejack (heavy implication - clearly what the staff was going for)

Applejack: at least homosexual as she is in a relationship with Rainbow Dash (heavy implication - clearly what the staff was going for)

Rarity: at least heterosexual as she is attracted to multiple stallions throughout the show

Fluttershy: at least heterosexual as she is in a relationship with Discord (heavy implication - clearly what the staff was going for) 

Personally if you were to ask me before the finale I would've said all the characters, besides Rarity (hetero) and Pinkie Pie (asexual) are pansexual. Rainbow Dash would be aromantic, but would still say pansexual, but because of the finale the above open-ended things are what I'm going to choose as cannon/head-cannon. 

(internally ship Rarity and Applejack tho)

Assuming we're talking FiM, pre-epilogue I headcanoned that,

  • Twilight is straight, because Flash Sentry.
  • Rarity is damn straight, do I need explaining?
  • Fluttershy was at first not sure, though after She Talks to Angel, straight.
  • Pinkie Pie was not sure, but assumed straight until proven otherwise.
  • Rainbow Dash I liked to think as straight, because I didn't want to go with the stereotype that she's gay because of tomboyish attitude and rainbow mane.
  • Applejack I liked to think she's gay, because I like the idea of a country farmer girl being into the ladies.

After the epilogue, the only one that changed was RD, who lets just say it's strongly implied she's gay. And, I'm quite honestly just fine with that. It's funny, I didn't really ship Appledash (or anything for that matter) before, but now oh boy do I ship them hard lol.

After the finale, it seems like:

Twilight: heterosexual, she was interested in flash but nothing came out of it. Although the EG flash is human, does it count as straight if you are interested in a completely different species in this kind of show? In real life it sure is not, but in the universe its passable as straight... probably.

Rarity: hetero, everything we so from her implies that. In the epilogue she did not have anyone but I guess the writers didn't want to throw an original character at her that we don't know a thing about him from nowhere, the episode was very vague about her, so its still possible to headcanon her as married only that it wasn't mentioned.

Pinkie pie: she is married to cheese so she is interested in stallions thats for sure, although its still possible she may be interested in other options as well, or was to a degree. Hetero is the safest bet and the only one that was confirmed. 

Fluttershy: It was implied that she is in a relationship with discord, since its not confirmed its still possible to headcanon it in a different way, although if she is with discord its not particular straight either. I guess in this universe its passable as straight.

Aj: I always though she was straight(although I ship her and rainbow), so I was surprised they implied that she is living with dash, and I am conflicted if I should take the bait or not, I ship them but in a non-canon way, I think trixie-starlight would fair better as a canon ship. I would have easily jumped on this opportunity if there were even some hints from the past 2 seasons. 

Rainbow: I always presumed she was a lesbian(I preferred this option), or bi, maybe even asexual.  I would say lesbian by what we saw. 

I don't care what the writers and show stuff says about the characters sexuality as long as its not shown in the show itself.

since there are two of each mane 6 (6 in equestria and 6 in the human world), i'm gonna say what i think for each one

Mane 6:
Twilight: Bi but leaning more towards stallions
Rarity: idk pony Rarity just seems straight but maybe she had a little thing for applejack. at the most, i'd say bi but i'm leaning more to that she's just straight
Pinkie: pan all the way
Rainbow: Bi but leaning more towards mares
Fluttershy: ace or bi
Applejack: we don't see much of applejack's sexuality, but determining by The Last Problem, I'd say lesbian maybe?

Humane 6:
Sci Twi: BI ALL THE WAY (timber and sunset)
Rarity: bi (HAVE U SEEN THE RARIJACK STUFF and she literally falls for the male version of applejack (ragamuffin))
Pinkie: still pan
Rainbow: definitely lesbian
Fluttershy: ace or lesbian, but i'm leaning more towards lesbian because IT'S SO OBVIOUS SHE HAS A CRUSH ON RAINBOW
Applejack: definitely bi (rarity and dirk (male version of rarity)) AND THERE IS A LOT OF RARIJACK GOING ON, AND IT'S CANON, AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT

Well Pinkie Pie is obviously straight from what we saw at the end. I don't really think their sexuality is important in the show as its not the focus of the show. I wouldn't know if any others sexualities' are since they aren't engaged. Wouldn't be surprised if Lyra and Bon bon are lesbian for each other though. I do think this topic is very pointless though. Fanfics aren't canon.

Mane 6:

Twilight: Straight

Rarity: Straight

Applejack: Lesbian

Rainbow Dash: I am leaning towards Bisexual but maybe Lesbian

Fluttershy: Demisexual male preference.

(Demisexual means only being attracted to someone you have a emotional connection with for those who don't know)

 

Just for fun speculations:

Celestia: She gives me lesbian or bisexual vibes and I can't explain why. Maybe Asexual?

Luna: Straight or bisexual

Cadence: Straight

Discord: Probably pansexual but with a feminine preference?

Derpy: Asexual

Spitfire: Lesbian

Twilight: Gay 

Applejack: Gay 

Rainbow Dash: Gay 

Pinkie Pie: Gay 

Rarity : Gay

Fluttershy : Gay 

JK LMAO, Now here we go, we know FULL WELL that Rarity and Twilight are both attracted to men, hell we know it's Canon for Twilight to be attracted to HUMAN men... not just ponies.. I believe they make it Canon for Rainbow and Applejack to be "at the very least" bisexual, but I would say full lesbian seeing as neither of them show romantic interests, more or less an overly emotional invested interest in each other in subliminal ways, and I know Zephyr and Trend probably have the LEAST attractive personalities in Equestria, but judging by the blatant displays of disgust/disinterest I think they are supporting that caricature that they are at the very least sexually/romantically disinterested in others, but S.9 tries to tell you that the " just screw and get it over with" finally came to pass, that they have been hinting at since s.1, 

Fluttershy I do believe is straight, but she is the kind of pony that could probably be sexually influenced by an aggressive enough lesbian into some kind of experimentation that she is unsure of... choosing to put emotional stake in Discord who is thousands of years old and odd looking himself suggests that Fluttershy could possibly be a pan-romantic that doesn't put high stakes in what the appearance of her partner looks like, she puts her relationship with the animals as an above priority to her romance... I mean they all would with their friendship, but Fluttershy does not strike you as the kind of pony that is overly concerned about romance.. 

Pinkie Pie might be BI. We know she canonically was in a marriage/relationship with Cheese, and that they reproduced with one another, now there is no outright suggestion that she is Bi.. it's more or less how you compare the interactions she has with other members of the Mane 6, there are different levels of seriousness/varying degrees of obsession that range differently from pony to pony... it's how they introduce Pinkies obsession with Rainbow that catches my eye... Now I myself have been obsessed with a friend, very possible, but she goes to pretty extreme lengths to keep Rainbows attention and although she was right about Gilda, (and again I mean YES friends can get jealous of their friends having friends) the amount of emotional transparency that Pinkie expresses to Twilight in this situation l, I mean as the show carries on it would be suggested that this is uncharacteristic in some ways of her to express these insecurities outright, yeah we know she is paranoid, but when we see her in "Party of One" she keeps these fears and insecurities to herself, she doesn't confront them or look for answers on her own.. it's hard to tell honestly, but because of her personality and the seriousness that she holds friendship in her life, I mean we know that she's not attracted to Cranky, but she takes getting his approval pretty damn seriously as well and he's a dick stranger that wants nothing to do with her... So it's possible that she values her close friendships so intimately it could be mistaken for attraction/obsession... she prides herself on being everyponys friend, so ultimately there is a genuine chemistry she has with Cheese based off their goals/personalities and they are ponies that can take an adult relationship "less seriously" not saying they aren't monogamous just saying that together they are able to accomplish one a others silly goals, the only question is, would it be the same if Cheese was a mare? Bc this relationship seems based off of personal taste/who they are as ponies, its a little less frivolous than Twi thinking flash is hot, or Rarity thinking trend is hot...

Anyways that's all I got HOPE YOU READ.
