Plot Bunny Theater: Twilight's Preferences · 4:38am Feb 15th, 2020
As it turns out, Twilight Sparkle hasn't shown any real interest in males of her species for a very simple reason. She's not a lesbian... Though she might be bisexual. No, the reason is:
Twilight Sparkle isn't into males of her own species. She's into males of other species. She has an interspecies fetish, to the point she can't get aroused by pony stallions.
So when Flash Sentry, the human version, shows interest in her? She's all over him. Gallus shows interest? She's in naughty headmare mode the second the door is shut. King Thorax? She's happy to have his larva.
This is also why she's so supportive of Spike's crush on Rarity: She fully understands.
Of course, explaining all of this won't be the easiest thing she's ever done to her friends... Especially when they find the huge piles of interspecies porn she's got stashed in her castle.
Makes sense.
Also why she's so assertive with Shephard.
Reminds me of Tali from Mass Effect, who's only confirmed interests are Male Shepard and Garrus. (I could be wrong, those are just the only interests I noticed.)
Don't neglect poor Silversteam. She's two species in one.

Nope, pretty sure it's just them. Tali is unusual in many ways. Of course, so are Shep and Garrus. She might just have high standards.
Of course, Tali may not be romanceable with fem-Shep but she will have drunken fantasies of a threesome with her and Garrus so there's clearly a bit more going on.

I took that as Tali not being gay enough for femShep but willing to be bi if it means being able to get with Garrus.
5203732
Yeah, could definitely take it that way. She does get kind of flirty even with Fem-shep though, even if she gets embarrassed and stops, so I've decided to take it as her finding Shepherd attractive whatever their sex but being mostly straight so never acting on it.

Right, I forgot about that. Though I think she's more okay with sharing Garrus with her than the full on threesome. Which the Fem-Shep I had romancing Garrus would be more than okay with. Of course she hit on everything she possibly could so there's that too.
On a side note I wish Tali would have been an option for Fem-Shep, not for them both being women, but because Tali's my favorite romance-able character and I feel Fem-Shep fits the story better, even though there's no real difference between Fem-Shep and Guy-Shep. Guy just feels generic to me.

And Mark Meer isn't BAD but he's just not as good a voice actor. But yeah, I also really prefer Shep as a woman.
Why do you think she works so hard to unify all species and nations? Yona and Sandbar are all part of the plan...
Puts a whole new twist on why she knows that species swap spell she uses in the breezie episode...

Great, now I'm picturing Twilight taking Sandbar into a private room with Yona.
"Wah! What are we going to do on the bed, Yona?"
"Yak Smash..."
Shepherd: "This explains so, so many things."
Twilight: "Look, it's not my fault! It's a natural instinct of all biological species to diversify their genetic portfolio as much as possible! It's perfectly natural when we live in a world where modern magic makes multispecies motherhood perfectly possible to be interested in maximizing your offspring's advantages!"
Dash: "Wow, you must be really embarrassed if you broke out the ten-bit words."
Shepherd: "Wait... offspring?"
Twilight: "...F[bleep]"

Given that Hippogriffs are traditionally the offspring of Griffons and Horses (and were both a symbol of love and a living oxymoron as a result: griffons were supposed to HATE horses and love eating them) it's obvious Twilight is not alone.

Gilda: "From what the toms say, there's apparently more than one way to eat a pony."
