Rainbow Dash can't keep her mind off Fluttershy's mare-friend; and it makes her feel odd. Her symptoms keep playing on her mind, so she goes to see Twilight about it. Is this just the product of her sexuality, lack there-of... or something more?

Rated Teen for references to sexuality.

Confusing to say the least.

But it was well written.
Have a like.

Huh? I really liked it, buuuut... that ending made no sense what-so-ever!!!! Like, what?! At first I was afraid that this was going to be a "Being gay is wrong and you will burn in hell if you are gay" story. It wasn't.... I think. But I'm not sure! That ending made no sense! Was it that Rainbow doesn't love mares OR stallions? Is that it? I don't understaaaand!!! You've still earned yourself a like though!

Well written enough, but that ending was lacking. There's a difference between leaving it open-ended for the reader to decide the end and giving us no information at all upon which we can base our conclusions. The ending threw some random information at us, then, well, ended without doing anything with the new information. it's a wonderful cliff hanger for the end of a chapter, but for the end of a story? It simply doesn't work.

I think it's that Rainbow is Asexual here, meaning that she doesn't feel sexually attracted to either gender, but as a result of this is afraid of being alone whilst everybody else ends up a couple with someone.

I like it too

4268879 Okay, it makes a lot more sense now! Huh, I didn't know you could feel that way..... you learn something new every day!

She's almost less asexual, though, and more without an identity. Rainbow Dash always struck me as a person with secretly devastatingly low self esteem, and as a result she lives purely according to others' expectations, a sort of 'yes mare' but not really. Probably just insane headcanon.

What a conundrum though, to feel unattracted to anyone but crave attraction in return. That's a recipe for crippling depression and existential misery.

Yep, you can and I do :twilightsheepish:

I wonder who Fluttershy's marefriend is? I have a guess based on the story title, but that's probably personal bias at work. (See my avvy for who I'm thinking of)

I love this sort of thing, a commentary of the nature of the common being, be it human or pony. I really felt connected to rainbow for the past few years, craving attention, needing to be the center of attention, wishing to have someone to reciprocate my closest feelings with but never being able to find one until recently. And all the while I felt like I was coming apart at the seams, never happy, never complete. I only wish this was continued. I understand that pain, one that shouldn't be felt by others. Oh, also, have a favorite!

Excuse me... is this it? Seriously? The end of the story? Really.. what's up with that?!
