I’m more under the impression that Dash is bisexual, and had a little crush on Spitfire and Soarin at one point but grew out of it. She might have been intended to end up with Spitfire as her new mane style resembles Spitfire. No matter what Dashie’s preference is and while I do ship her with my male OC, she’s still my favourite pony.

I figured that’s the sort of thing that would be brought up, but the Wonderbolts are her childhood heroes. Of course she’s going to get excited at hanging out with them. Doesn’t mean it’s romantic. It’s like Scootaloo’s idol worship of Rainbow.
I’m not trying to stir up any arguments. Like I said I’ll take any ship if it’s done well. I was just curious.
@N2MP
I mean in S1 she flies off with Soarin’ and another male Wonderbolt and says “I’ve got plans!”
I never said there couldn’t be lesbians, look at Lyra and Sweetje Drops! And Scootaloo’s aunts. I’m just saying, at that point in time, Rainbow wasn’t intended to be gay or bi.
@Crimson “Valent” Azure
Didn’t Faust leave the show after season 2? Why would her statements have any relevance 7 seasons after she quit the show?
And I’m drawing a blank right now, but when did Rainbow ever show interest in anyone in a romantic sense? Same with Applejack. Rarity seems to be the only one who actively flirts with others. And there’s Spike with his obvious crush. But aside from them none of them seem to have any romantic interests except Twilight if you want to consider EQG canon.
I don’t have an investment in any particular ship. so I don’t care who gets paired with who as long as the art/story is good. There’s tons of Shining/Cadance cheating pics when their love was supposed to be so strong it gave Chrysalis the power of an alicorn, and that’s just one example. In the end canon has never stopped shippers and never will.
I haven’t watched the finale myself. I’m still like 3 seasons behind. But I did read a big argument on another image hating on the finale and raging at anyone who thought AppleDash was made canon, so I’m just curious about why they can’t be lesbians, or at least in a relationship.
@MKogwheel
With Lauren Faust. Neither were intended to be gay. Applehack was intended to be extremely traditional while Rainbow was supposed to end up with Soarin’ or another male Wonderbolt. Plus RD has shown more interest in guys than Applejack, so it’s easy to see her as bisexual.
@Harshmallow
According to interviews, neither are Lesbians. “Pairing them up” only happened because Ashleigh is an AppleDash shipper. If this ship IS canon they are both bisexual not lesbian.
Even if you guys somehow thought they were lesbians, why would you even tag this image with the lesbian tag? They aren’t even doing anything sexual or even romantic in the image.
They were written as a couple in the scripts and also writers wanted to make sure the animators had AJ watch RD with loving pride and keep them both physically close as said in the animatic editor notes
I got the link to anyone who want to read the script outline and the editor notes that display both the claims I made.
I never meant any ship was canon. But we might as well just assume or write our own fanfics. Like maybe AJ and RD live on the farm with Soarin and they take turns making him pies? I mean none of the Bolts are seen aside from the flashbacks so we can only assume Rainbow and Soarin got hitched with AJ or we interpret our own ending. The only “canon” ship as far as we know is CheesePie.

Also add 26 to the mix. Twilight looks like a carbon copy of Celestia. Spike and Rarity didn’t get a love interest and the Evil Triad were not redeemed. You would THINK after 30+ years they would redeem them or give them some kinda explanation for their actions. But nope. They make Diamomd Tiara pre redemption seem like a deep complex character. The only thing we’ve seen is that they’re not all bad and wouldn’t that be enough to redeem them?
@Background Pony #A647
Heh… Remember when everybody thought LyraBon were “just friends” then they proposed? If you want answers ask Big Jim. He’ll likely tell you if RD and AJ are a couple assuming he’s not closed his Twitter account due to all the hate he’s been getting.
My second headcanon was maybe the mane 5 did got married to stallions that did not appear on the show.

Scripts aren’t canon, my friend. Scripts go through many revisions and re-interpretations, many of which are not noted.
Only the final product counts.

Wait, what interviews?

Just pushing their shipping.
Super-horse. 🐴
If that is what you desire to do, go for it. xd
Hm… 🤔
I wonder if I run with your idea further if AJ and Dashie would eventually merge into a single super-horse.
They say the longer a couple is together the more they begin to look and act like one another. Rainbow Dash has Spitfire’s mane style. xd
I got the link to anyone who want to read the script outline and the editor notes that display both the claims I made.
AppleDash ftw
You know what, I wonder if anyone has written a shipfic where EVERYONE gets shipped together?
But it is

By that logic, Raripie would be canon too
