Big Mac - Tumblr Posts
ARE WE JUST GONNA GLOSS OVER THE FACT THAT BIG MAC HAD BEEN CONFIRMED CANONICALLY BI/POLY FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS?????? HOW AM I JUST LEARNING THIS HELLO
So I was racking my brain trying to think about queer representation in kids shows/movies I loved growing up and legitimately all I could come up with was Lyra Heartstrings & BonBon from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and Miss Spink & Miss Forcible from Coraline.
*There are other queer characters in MLP:FiM, BUT LyraBon are huge since the fandom shipped them for years before they were canon. Some others include Applejack & Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo's aunts, Sunset Shimmer (bi), King Sombra (bi), and Big Mac (bi, polyamorous/enjoys drag on screen).
And like I love them! Really, I do! But MAN was it sad to realize just how little queer rep I remember growing up with and seeing on screen. Lyra & BonBon were the first blatant in-your-face undeniable queer rep of ANY kind I saw on screen, in fact, and their romance wasn't blatantly established until 5 years into the show. I'm so incredibly glad that kid's media is showing more queer rep these days and in more diverse ways (not shading either of the above examples, it's just that a wide variety of queer rep is important!). I still adore the queer characters I did get to see on screen, and I love seeing new media that boldly and proudly represents queerness for kid's media nowadays (I'm still obsessed with Nimona, y'all better go watch that movie it's a miracle it even got made). I just look back and think about how much easier life could have been if I were exposed to my kind of queerness as a kid; I haven't seen a queer transmasc character in a kid's show until very very recently. I'm glad kiddos like me will see those characters and feel less confusion or fear about themselves because of it. But I'm sad to have had to go through it.
Thank you, my little lesbian ponies and silly old circus lesbians, for introducing me to a world I didn't yet know I was a part of. It did make things easier in a way.
favourite less common mlp ship? also if you want to rant about them please do!!!!
ooh this is a tuff one bc i dont have a FAVORITE favorite per say. but there are a couple i do enjoy!
soarburn: ok so i actually wrote a fic on this! Ik theres absolutely no basis for this in or outside of the show, but part of what makes it so fun is imagining all the interactions they COULD have. I mean, think about it, Braeburn's super extroverted, charming, and hospitable; Soarin's an accomplished athlete, plus hes friendly and simplistic--kind of reminds me of their female counterpart (appledash). Like guys imagine Soarin in his suit and Braeburn ~flirting~ w him.. ouhhh imagine their banter !!
lunajack: ok ive actually seen some rlly good takes that got me on this ship! If i didnt hc Luna as aroace it'd 1000% be one of my top ships of all time. They could have such a good princess x pauper dynamic, a high society royal x simpleton farmer union. Plus like others have said, Applejack is one of the most people ponies ever and has this inherent, idk kindness?? and Luna meanwhile has this huge distance from others because of her years of exile, her particular role as a princess, and all of the walls shes built up from the guilt of nightmare moon. She was one of the first ponies to try and connect to luna in the most welcoming way possible despite her aura that one time she visited ponyville. Hell even luna called her "fair Applejack" at some pointš like u cannot tell me aj's heart didnt at LEAST skip a beatš. imagine being a farmgirl just hangin out in a scarecrow fit on nightmare night and the literal goddess of the moon calls you "fair" in return for some of your help, im weakkhjghfhgjfg
sugarmacbra: So actually im (sort of) writing a fic on this. The only reason it exists is bc i recently found out big mac is canonically bi and polyamorous (at least according to his VA), and im a sucker for a good polycule. That added with sugarmac (which i adore) and the fact that King Sombra is literally also bi, i was like, hey, what if we combined these elements, right?? Anyways, im not so much a fan of the dynamic that exists so far as i am of the idea of big mac in the most bisexual polycule ever, but who knows? maybe ill continue the fic and create the most life-changing heart-wrenching three-way pony love story
Cadance x Shining Armor x King Sombra (their ship names suckš): Speaking of polycules, this one has a lot of potential. Sure, shining Armor is the straightest guy alive, but if we could pretend hes bisexual for a minute, i think him and Sombra in particular could have a LOT of chemistry. Plus given how hes basically smitten w his wife, i love the idea of him being in love w BOTH of them, like, more love for the golden retriever himbo !! Ik its not a super fleshed out especially on cadance's end, but the potential is there. Also, this ship has nothing to do w *that* ao3 fic (and if u dont know what im talking about i promise u dont need to see it. its gross).
somburn: I think we can all agree on braeburn giving massive fruit vibes, plus his overall personality. I was actually really inspired by this one post. I kind of need this to be real now. I love the idea of this evil fuckin guy having a sweet spot for plain ol Braeburn, who in contrast chooses not to see sombra as an evil threat but instead a smexy hot hunk. And to top it off, he "tames" Sombra/Sombra sort of changes for the better to be w him? Honestly its so cute.
anddd thats all i can think of atm lol. this took me way longer than i expected to answer

BIG MAC!!! (intosh)
I'm trying new things for my art
you're going to look stunning, darling ~
little AJ/Rarity piece based on Look Before You Sleep c: big mac / orchard blossom alt just for fun:
While Zecora was initially successful in curing Apple Blooms cutiepox, the residents of pony will soon notice an excessive amount of hearts desire begins to bloom around town. most towns folk were in awe at the beautiful flowers and picked them to gift to their friends and family.
No-one considered that these flowers may blooming, not as a show of beauty, but as an omen.

Do I have an obsession with infection/zombie aus?
Yes, yes I do; I may be cringe but I am free
Applejackās family tree in my Exileverse AU š Yes, the Pear family are cows! I imagine bovines and equines are often at odds with one another.
Some notes:
- The Pear genes lost to the Apple genes when it comes to Applejack and her siblings. Mostly it just made them very hard-headed, literally
- Neither the Apple nor Pear family can remember what their feud began over
- Granny Smith and Sugar Bee had five other children but I couldnāt fit them all on the family tree lol
- Bright Mac and Pear Butter were killed in a magical firestorm caused by a unicorn, hence AJās hatred of magic
- Just like canon, the Pear and Apple families eventually make peace with one another
Pinkie Pieās family next! ;3
