>Adults in Equestria>Teenagers in HumanestriaHow the FUCK is that realistic?
>>42512573Would granny smith turn hot then?
>>42512573It really doesn't follow even in the movie. Sunset should be substantially older than Twilight at this point.
>>42512573I don't know.
They change to match their human counterparts.
did we ever settle on the age of m6 in FiM?
>>4251315819 - 22 would be my estimate due to Twilight essentially being a college student and all of them being around the same age (Flutters was the oldest iirc).
>>42512573>he thinks they're adultslol
>>42513174KEK
>>42512573Because that is how the pony who built the mirror designed it. He probably had a fetish for bipedal teens in a school setting. When the mirror is activated, it creates characters based on ponies in the real world.
>>42512573I always assumed it was just a difference between horse years and human years
>42512573>Short skirts>Big weird adult fan baseYou are not getting it anon
>>42512573It's hotter that way
>>42513167>>42513174We know for a fact AJ and Rarity were both adults when their sisters were 5. Assuming the CMC are around 10 years old, that puts them at being at least 23 at the start of the series.
>>42515296Where are you getting these numbers? Do not try to convince me teen applejack is an adult either.
>>42515545That episode that flashes back to Sweetie Bells 5th birthday, Rarity was already an adult. And since she and Applejack are both from Ponyville, and Applejack was stated to have been the last pony in her class to get her cutie mark, I think that puts both of them on the older side of the mane 6.
>all this PATHETIC fanfictionStop right there, chuds. Let your MOTHER break it down for y'all.
>>42515611Except that's stupid when more than half of them either own a business or live alone. How tf are any of the mane 6 going to be 13-15 years old? They'd barely be any bigger than the CMC. And we have flashback episodes, so we know what teenage ponies look like.
>>42515627>Except that's stupid when more than half of them either own a business or live aloneHorse society is different from human societyThey don't have high school. They get their cutie marks and immediate start working.
>>42515631We know what teenage ponies look like, the mane 6 aren't teenagers.>They get their cutie marks and immediate start working.Rarity and Applejack were both working prior to having cutie marks. And Twilight went to school after getting hers, not straight into a job.
I'd also like to remind everyone, in Pikie Pride, Dash's cake has 21 candles on it. Since Dash is presumably one of the younger of the group, that would put her as being at least 19/20 in season 1.
>>42515564I assume Rarity hit puberty super hard, and is about 13 when Sweetie was 5. Add 4 years for Sweetie to mature as the youngest cmc and Rarity is only 17, and much older than every other m6. This keeps her within Faust's stated age range. Since AJ is not shown in Rarity's class, I'm placing her as 2 years younger, just because.>>42515646It works if each season = 1 year and she's given Faust's max starting age. Why presume she's younger?
>>42512581I always had the feeling the time flow in the EQG world is way slow than the one in Equestria, especially if we take the prequel comic into consideration.
>>42515611So lusting after pony is pedophillic?
>>42515763You're doing an awful lot of assuming,>Rarity hit puberty super hard, and is about 13 when Sweetie was 5So Rarity was living on her own, running a business, taking care of her younger sister, and looked identical to her fully grown self at the age of 13?> Sweetie to mature as the youngest cmc and Rarity is only 17, and much older than every other m6.And Sweetie is the youngest based on?>Since AJ is not shown in Rarity's class, I'm placing her as 2 years younger, just because.It's also not explicitly stated they weren't in the same class, so there isn't really any reason to assume AJ is that much younger, especially when dialogue directly states AJ got her mark at an older age than most ponies.You're numbers straight up don't work. Dash was the first pony in her class to get her cutie mark. If we're saying AJ, who was the last, is only 15, that would put Dash at being damne near around 12 years old. If we're assuming The youngest CMC is 9, that puts Rainbow firmly in the child category. None of your numbers make any sense for the mane 6 to be that age. Stop bending over backwards to try and make what Faust said work when what she says clearly doesn't work in the show. Plus, Faust imagined them as aging at the same pace as irl horses, where 4 is a full adult.
>>42515779>You're doing an awful lot of assuming,Everyone I replied to is doing the same, and so are you.>So Rarity was...Yes.>and sweetie is young based on?What sounds cute.>AJ got her mark at an older age than most ponies.Older relative to whom? Your big mistake is assuming cutie marks are tied to age, when it's consistently shown it's not.
>>42515838>Everyone I replied to is doing the same,Saying that Rarity is an adult in a flashback where she looks identical to her adult appearance is far less of an assumption than saying she's only 13 in the same flashback. That's not how puberty works.>Yes.You're retarded.>What sounds cute.So you admit there is no consistent logic here, it's just based on what you think is cute.>Older relative to whom?Her fucking classmates retard, DYEWTS?>"'Course you can! Y'know, I was the last pony in my class to get my cutie mark"So all of her classmates, who got them before her, were all also older than her? And since all the mane 6 got their cutie marks from the same event, it's extremely unlikely that every single pony in AJ's class was a super early bloomer while every single pony in RD's class was a super late bloomer. You're making way more assumption than I am here. Everything I've said is based on dialogue and events shown in the show, everything you've said is based on what you think is cute. Your assumptions require way more leaps in logic than mine.We see Applejack as a teenager in Where the Apple Lies, where Applebloom makes no appearance, presumably due to being a baby, meaning Applejack was in her teens before AB was capable of speech and walking. Again, we have seen teen ponies in the show before, we know the mane 6 aren't teens at the start of the series.
>>42515868>That's not how puberty works.Never heard of jailbait? If I ignore Faust, who I'm not truly beholden to, I'd say Rarity was 19 at the start of the show. Either way Rarity is old, the rest aren't.>So all of her classmates, who got them before her, were all also older than her?She's a smart cookie (get it, like the play?) so she probably skipped a grade. If the world followed your logic to an exact, then the cmc blank flank plot wouldn't exist.>we have seen teen ponies in the show beforeWe saw awkward pubescent fillies. Probably in the 12-14 range.
>>42515906>Either way Rarity is old, the rest aren't.Fluttershy looks like a teenager in the flashback where they're all kids, so if anyone's the oldest, it's her.Let me break this down for you. Lets assume for the sake of ease the typical age range a pony gets their cutie mark in is 8-13. Applejack was explicitly stated to be the last pony in her class to get her cutie mark, while RD was stated to be the first. This would put them being at opposite ends of the spectrum, with RD closer to the 8 ranger and AJ more in the 13 range. No mention is made of Rarity being notably late in getting her cutie mark, in fact her flashback even shows Cheerilee also not having hers yet, so that presumably means they got theirs at a more normal age range. Since all the mane 6 got their cutie marks at roughly the same time, this would put AJ at the same age, if not slightly older than Rarity and Cheerilee. Plus, going off your logic of Rarity being a super ultra early bloomer and being fully grown at 13, we could easily say AJ was just a really late bloomer, and was actually 14/15 when she got her cutiemark, and was 17 in flashbacks as a teenager.Either way, all indicators would point to AJ being same age or a bit older than Rarity, since there's no way they could have gotten their elements at the same time, with AJ being a notably late bloomer and Rarity being at the normal age, and Rarity also being 2 years older than AJ.
>>42515611Isnt this her headcannon that they age like actual horses? Which doesn't make sense with what's in the show.
>>42515967Pretty sure Faust once also said the ponies shit in the streets like regular horses and that fertilizes the plants. She kinda isn't the best source when it comes to world building desu.
>>42513158Lauren Faust's 2009 Pitch Bible described them as "having a maturity level from 10 to 15". Several years pass by in the show and they don't go to school and they all have jobs so I always saw them as being 15 at the start then 25 at the latest towards the end.
>>42515775no, 12 year olds aren't prepubescent
>>42515770Actually, time is non linear between the two worlds, the sirens were banished for 1 thousand years in Equestria and Sunset Shimmer arrived just some time after them, and then time began to flow normally between the two dimensions after Twilight got there.
>>42513174They are
>>42512573What I believe:>Twilight hatched Spike's egg and got into Celestia's school at 10>10 years passed and she went to Ponyville and met her friends, so Spike is 10 years old>All the mane 6 are in the 18-25 range>All the events of the show happened in 5 yearsIdk if this is consistent, but I think it is
>>42516368I think it's pretty good. Twilight and Dash definitely feel younger than the rest.
>>42516169Ask anyone around, 12 is 100% pedophile.
>>42515930>Fluttershy looks like a teenagerKeywords: looks like. I think she looks more like a lanky pre-teen, but everyone starts puberty at their own pace.>Lets assume the typical age range a pony gets their cutie mark in is 8-13Nah, let's assume 6-18, more possibilities are fun, and cutie marks are based on a realization of self purpose, not physical age. So I'm pegging Dash as 8 and AJ as 10 during the Chronicles flashback. Besides, if AJ was the last to get her cm in her class, then that marks her as young using your logic. To stick to Faust, we'll say Rarity just turned 18 after the pilot, giving her more time to develop so she's 14 during Sweetie's party. There's a NINE year age gap here, so going on averages and likelihoods, I find it unlikely they should be further apart in age.
>>42516521>if AJ was the last to get her cm in her class, then that marks her as young using your logic.How? Being the last to get it would imply she's on the older side of when ponies usually get them.>Keywords: looks like. IOkay, and I don't think 14 year old Rarity would look like an adult.
>>42516549If you're tying physical puberty to cutie marks to age as you did with every other m6, and all foals in your scenario are assumed to be the same average number unless told otherwise, then every other foal hit cute-erty, therefore AJ must either be physically younger, or a late cutie mark realizer. I say she skipped a grade and is physically younger. It still works with her telling Bloom to stop comparing herself to her classmates, and sympathizing with that pressure to fit in.>I don't think 14 year old Rarity would look like an adult.Fair. Agree to disagree.
>>42516582>If you're tying physical puberty to cutie marks to age as you did with every other m6No dude. The mane 6 all got their cutie marks at the same time. Applejack is the only explicitly stated to be a late bloomer who was last in her class to get hers. Since it wouldn't make sense for Applejack to be the last in hers and Rainbow Dash to be the first in hers at the same age, the more reasonable assumption is that AJ is older than Rainbow. Since none of the other mane 6 are said to have been late or early bloomers, it's reasonable to assume they got theirs at whatever the median age is. Since AJ and Rarity got their marks from the same event, it makes no sense that Rarity could get hers at the median age, while AJ got hers at a higher than normal age, and have Rarity be multiple years older than Applejack. There's nothing to imply AJ skipped any grades, there's nothing to imply Rarity is notably older than any of the rest of the group barring Dash. Your entire argument is based on the idea that Rarity apparently speedran puberty at 13 and did all her growing then, and then looked completely the same through the rest of her teen years and as an adult while the rest of the mane 6 are multiple years younger than her, which requires way more leaps in logic than simply her and AJ being the same age and from the same class.
>>42516621> it wouldn't make sense for Applejack to be the last in hers and Rainbow Dash to be the first in hers at the same age, the more reasonable assumption is that AJ is older than Rainbow. It would if you stopped coupling cutie marks to age.>Since none of the other mane 6 are said to have been late or early bloomers, it's reasonable to assume they got theirs at whatever the median age is. The median is inaccurate guesswork, any point on the average range is more accurate for the unpredictable times of cutie mark realization.>Since AJ and Rarity got their marks from the same event, it makes no sense that Rarity could get hers at the median age, while AJ got hers at a higher than normal age, AJ gets hers at 10, rarity at 11. They're only a couple years apart. Their physical appearances line up.>There's nothing to imply AJ skipped any grades,There's nothing to imply any of the m6 shared the same grades.>there's nothing to imply Rarity is notably older than any of the rest of the group barring Dash. How fully grown she looked when Sweetie Belle was 5.>Your entire argument is based on the idea that Rarity apparently speedran puberty at 13 and did all her growing then,11-14. 3 years is plenty of time.>which requires way more leaps in logic than simply her and AJ being the same age and from the same class.Subjective.
>>42516415pretty much only the anglosphere thinks that and they are retarded
>>42512581she becomes fat
>>42516653>It would if you stopped coupling cutie marks to age.There is an age range where ponies usually get a cutie mark. Every member of the Apple family is stated to be a late bloomer in this regard. Ponies don't come out of the womb with their marks, and they have them before adulthood. Even if I don't give an age range to the cutie marks, still nothing you're saying makes any sense, because there is no basis for any of your numbers.>The median is inaccurate guesswork, It doesn't matter. AJ is provably on the upper end of the scale regardless of what it is. If AJ is on the upper end of the scale, and Rarity wasn't, and they both got their cutie marks at the same time, that would lend credence to AJ being the older of the two.>There's nothing to imply any of the m6 shared the same grades.You do realize I'm saying they weren't all in the same grade, right? It doesn't make sense for AJ to be the last in her class, and for RD to be the first in her class, and for them to be in the same grade.>How fully grown she looked when Sweetie Belle was 5.That's proof of her being an adult when Sweetie was 5. And since we don't know what age the others were at the time, it isn't proof of her being older than them.>11-14You said 13. And you equated the way Fluttershy and AJ looked when they were lanky to only 14. It does not make any sense for Rarity to be that grown, that young.>Subjective.You have given literally no basis for any of your number beyond random shit you just 'pegged'. Your reasoning for Rarity being older is that AJ wasn't shown in her class, even though that could just as easily mean AJ was in an older class than Rarity. You are objectively making way more leaps in logic than I am.
>>42516656>the anglosphereHow to let everyone know you're a third worlder without saying you're a third worlder.
>>42516670That one honestly confuses the most.Age? Okay whatever I can accept some magical age BS for forcing the setting to work, even if said setting is kinda dumb. Especially since the age change kinda affects everyone.Body type though? Huh?! How and why!? This is WAY less necessary to make the setting work, and they ONLY do it to Granny Smith. It's so random that I'm just confused as to why it was even done.I probably wouldn't even be this confused if a different character was affected. With all the crap in US food, I could easily see Pinkie being a lot heavier compared to her pony self. Heck, I could even see Sweetie Belle being under just enough different circumstances to be a lil' fat in the human world. But Granny Smith?! Granny has one of the least different lifestyles in the human world; why would only HER human counterpart be heavier?!
>>42516712>It's so random that I'm just confused as to why it was even doneLunch ladies are old and fat. What old characters do we have? Granny Smith I guess, let's just make her fatThat's pretty much the level of thought Megan put into EqG 1
>>42515611She is saying they are adults but with teenage maturity levels. Age of consent is only concerned with chronological age, rest easy /mlp/, mane 6 is legal
>>42516676>Ponies don't come out of the womb with their marks, and they have them before adulthood.Of course, I stayed within a child and adult range>there is no basis for any of your numbers.There was, you're ignoring them because you like everything to be averaged and boring.>If AJ is on the upper end of the scale, and Rarity wasn't, and they both got their cutie marks at the same time, that would lend credence to AJ being the older of the two.It might lend credence if you had facts to back it up. I reject the hypothesis anyway because this median can vary for every class and generation.>AJ is provably on the upper end of the scale regardless of what it is.The scale of cutie mark acquisition. Not physical age.>You said 13I changed it to 14. I equated Fluttershy to preteen, a range of 10-12, AJ would be 13 when Rarity was 14-15.>You have given literally no basis Rarity is older because going any younger gives her no time to grow in time for Sweetie's 5th B-day (you dismissed this important detail). Applejack is young at the start of the show because her voice isn't finished deepening yet. The timeline I have is Sonic Rainboom: RD 8, AJ 10, Rarity 11, Fluttershy 10-12 (lanky)Sweetie B-day: RD 11, AJ (lanky) 13, Rarity (jailbait) 14-15Start of show: RD 14, AJ 16, Rarity 18

>>42512573The human world clearly just operates on a different timescale than Equestria does. By the time of Legend of Everfree, not even a whole year has passed in the human world, but in Equestria it's clearly been several years as evidenced by Starlight's presence in the shorts directly after.
