Discovery
"Humans have so many labels for their sexualities." Twilight smiled as she looked at a list of said sexualities on Pinkie Pie's laptop.
"They go a bit overboard," Sunset agreed, "But in a way, it's better than back in Equestria."
"What do you guys use? Just filly fooler?" Rainbow Dash asked over her shoulder. Her and Pinkie were playing a game on the Z-Box. Just the mention of fillyfooler had them all giggling again.
"Filly fooler and colt cuddlers. 'Queers' as it would be said here." Sunset winced as Twilight said this, though either the others didn't notice or didn't want to comment on it. The term struck a cord with her, and she felt shame and heat rise to her face.
"Here, though..." Twilight went on, "Bisexual, pansexual, cupiosexual..." She made a gesture in the air to show that the list went on and on, and the others nodded, though some looked confused at the terms.
"What's that one?" Though cupiosexual sounded interesting, Sunset pointed to a link that was purple, showing that Pinkie had been to it before.
"Asexual. Let's see..." Twilight furrowed her eyebrows in concentration as she read the information on the page. "One who doesn't experience sexual attraction." She glanced over at Pinkie, who had lost the round of the game but was smiling nonetheless. "You know about this, Pinkie?"
"Yup!" Pinkie grinned with a glance at Fluttershy before she quickly looked away. "It's when someone doesn't feel sexual attraction for anyone, like the page says."
"Is it a disease?" Rainbow asked, a bit weary. Sunset saw embarrassment flash across Fluttershy's face and felt sympathy for the other girl.
"No, silly!" Pinkie giggled, but slapped Rainbow with a bit of force, "It's like... Well, a lot of people use a cake story. Like some people like chocolate cake, some like vanilla, and some like both. Then some people like all cake, like chocolate and vanilla and german chocolate and strawberry--that's me, for real and for the story--and some people don't like any cake!"
"So you're--" Twilight thought for a second "--pansexual?"
"Yup!"
"And I'm asexual." Fluttershy said softly.
"Huh." Applejack looked around at her friends, "Guess ah never noticed how many labels humans have."
"But Sunset's right. This sounds better than just having 'queer' or 'straight'. Right Sunset?"
Sunset, however, was busy reading the asexual page on the website. Her face would go from curious to confused to amazed before repeating again, almost like she was caught in a loop. The girls saw her look of concentration and giggled.
"Looks like Sunset found her label." Rarity quipped, making the others nod in agreement.
"Now we have two aces!" Pinkie cheered, causing Sunset to look up.
"What?" She asked, confused. Twilight laughed beside her, and the others did, too. They didn't answer her question, though.
"So, what's cupiosexual, anyways?"
As the other girls began chatting about the strange term, Twilight turned to Sunset and smiled. "I love you."
"Love you, too." Sunset blushed, looking at the group of girls in front of them as Twilight leaned on her shoulder. Rainbow had made a comment about Pinkie being too into cakes, and Pinkie had giggled out an explanation.
"Actually, Pinkie being pansexual ain't all that surprisin'. Think about it; it's Pinkie!" Thankfully Pinkie took that as the complement Applejack meant it to be.
The others agreed. Loving 'just because,' as Pinkie put it, seemed so, well, Pinkie!
Humans are strange.

That was beautiful. I wouldn't have picked Sunset for an ace though, then again she never confurmed it, maybe she was just intrigued. Still, it's good to see that you make the distinction between love and sexual attraction. also, an ace may not want sex but they can be just as cuddly and kissy as anyone else.
5440278 if i understand it right, ACE just means that Sunset doesn´t want sex or that she would never want Sex?
I just try to understand all the different words for it right now, i know other word for it.
Oh and i agree with you there, about all of your comment.
5440278 Sunset being an ace was kind of a jump, for sure, but for some reason it just seems to fit her, especially for this situation
5441653
Not necessarily. It's more like she doesn't look at people and think 'They're hot' or 'I'd tap that' or the like. Some aces don't want sex, some are interested in it, and some don't care. It really depends on the person! Some aces will have sex for their partner, some won't. It's not really a definite thing.
alright, i'm confused. amused, and confused.
do you happen to have a link to a trusted sfw page that explains any of this?
5442010 Yeah sorry, not the easiest thing to explain xDDD
This site is the Asexuality Visibility and Education Network. Most pages are sfw, just be careful what articles you click on specifically. (The site is blocked on my current computer so let me know if the link doesn't work)
Others... I dunno. I get a lot of info from Tumlr xD
5441938 hhmmmm okay, thank you, i am not sure it this word is english, but i didn´t heard it like that befor.
Sometimes even i like to learn something new

>get a lot of info from tumblr
Ohdearjesus you poor child.
5574824 ? What do you mean?
5575805
I don't know how to properly describe the hilarity of chumblur to you.
5576626 Oh, no, I'm familiar with Tumblr, no need to do that :3
5576654
So then you should understand why "getting most of your information" from Tumblr is hilarious.
Tumblr! Where the research is made up and reality doesn't matter.
5577782 Well there are these things called sources, which validate the information. Then there are the communities which put this information together and work to better themselves. If you just skim the surface and take everything at face value then yeah, Tumblr is a bad place for info. But if you actually know how to validate facts and use your own judgement, then in some ways Tumblr is better than news channels and newspapers. Especially when it comes to Asexuality.
5580147
No. Tumblr is always horrible.
That's the thing. They don't use sources. They don't validate information. What your Tumblrinas say is gospel, and don't fucking dare argue against it.
5580169 Um, no. Articles that link to outside sources are used. Articles that link to actual people who have opinions, personal experience, etc. are used. If they are not, they can usually be asked for. Now not everyone does this, but it is possible and can be done. Tumblr can, in fact, be used to gather reliable information if you know how to do so.
I LOVE this story! I must have more!!!
Do the more writey thing with this, pretty please.
This is great. I would by no means have pegged Sunset as asexual, but it works. Aromanticism is something else entirely, after all... and fortunately for Twilight, so is antisexuality. This entire set of shorts is wonderful, and I love Twilight's deliberate attempts at taking advantage of the differences between societies (almost as much as her screw-ups). Will we get to see behavior at some point that would be blatantly obvious to an Equestrian, but be as overlooked by humans as their forelimb-over-shoulders in the first chapter would have been back in Equestria?
I never heard of cupiosexuality/cupioromanticism before, but I'm surprised I haven't. Cupioromanticism sounds... sad, though. A desire for romance, but not actually experiencing romantic attraction.
These are short but sweet; I love it! Make more.
Ace headcanons yessss!!
With Twilight saying that(only?) coltcuddler and fillyfooler exist in Equestira, is that trying to make an attempt to say... there's only gays in Equestria? There certainly seems to be a weird, potentially unintentional, implication with how it was worded.
