Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
Seven friends quietly ate lunch together. Five of them shared glances, awkwardly trying not to stare at the last two. There seemed to be an unspoken tension.
Sunset sighed, putting down her sandwich. "Okay. What is it?"
Rarity bit her lip. "It's... it's nothing, darling—"
"Girls, I'm literally relying on you to keep me from going megalomaniac. If you're not comfortable asking questions, then... how will you be comfortable telling me when I'm wrong?"
"It's not like that!" Rainbow Dash insisted. "It's... really, it's just nothing."
Sunset lidded her eyes.
"...Oh, heck." Applejack took off her hat. "Look, Sunset, back when this all started, ya... kinda mentioned you weren't attracted ta baldin' apes cause you thought of yourself as a unicorn. But now..." She trailed off.
"Wait, is this about me?" Twilight asked.
"Um." Fluttershy smiled awkwardly. "Maybe? It's really more about Sunset, and... neither of you have to answer if you don't want to—"
"Did your transformation into a semi-abstract entity responsible for monitoring the stability of reality affect your personal preferences?" Pinkie asked quickly.
Sunset rolled her eyes. "Well it..."
She paused.
"...You know, now that I think about it... huh. I think I might be an asexual demiromantic?" She shrugged. "Or something. I don't know. I guess I'll figure it out..."
"You know, I did develop a bit of a crush on Princess Twilight before I met you. Maybe I'm just Twilightsexual."
"Sunset, if you really do love me, you'll never use that term again."
"Deal."

You know, I just had a thought. If people's belief is making monsters appear, does that mean the flying spaghetti monster is out there now?
7682868 It used to be. I can assure you, it's every bit as delicious as it looks.

That one actually has the benefit of being a quasi-religious figure... it's actually got a lot better chance than most things to manifest.
...someone needs to write that.
Who needs an invisible pink unicorn (mhhhnbs) when you can have a visible orange ketchup-n-bacon one?
.., normally I hate the phrase a-sexual because it usually just describes disinterest or something stupid like that, IE lacking a drive to pursue sexuality, not lacking a sexual drive, but in this case it's probably literally accurate. I bet Sunset isn't capable of having kids, so huge parts of her brain probably shut off.
The phrase demi-romantic is a huge turnoff though. It literally means "I become more attracted towards people as I get to know them." This is not special, this is called being mature. No matter what stupid movies tell you, love at first sight isn't a thing, and sexual attraction does not solely consist of "mm look at that butt". That's part of it, but there's more to it.
Soooo Sunset has a attraction towards Sci Twi or not?
I am going to use this term so very, very, much.

That's not it at all though? Asexual just means they don't experience sexual attraction to people- for example, take whatever gender you don't find yourself attracted to and apply those feelings to everyone. That's what being asexual is. And demiromantic is a lot more nuanced than how you described- it means that a person only forms any kind of romantic attraction to people they know well and trust. Unlike the rest of us, who have things like celebrity crushes or seeing a beautiful stranger at a bar and thinking "hey maybe we can go talk to them, something could happen" which is incredibly common in the adult life of someone not on the aro/ace spectrum.

Someone does. I'll let the idea percolate, though I am by no means calling dibs.

Sunset actually occupies a memetic niche close enough to the Invisible Pink Unicorn that the IPU cannot manifest in the Oversaturated World. Same thing with Discord and Eris.
7683627
Sunset can reproduce, as long as she doesn't discarnate that body during the pregnancy. However, she has shut off her menstrual cycle (mostly because she can) and doesn't plan on reactivating it any time soon.

Intellectually, emotionally, romantically, yes. Sexually? It's unclear, and neither wants to escalate the relationship to that point at the moment. (Besides, the collection's rated Teen. )
I'm pretty sure that Sunset should be able to find definitions on the Internet of the 20+ forms of sexual alignment recognised by those involved in the field; maybe even a "Sexuality for Idiots" guide that makes it easy to understand!

sure, that's what it means in theory, but there's literally millions of years of evolution behind you pushing sexuality on you. There's probably some people out there who ARE asexual, but it'll be the result of serious neurological damage or hormonal imbalances, and it won't be as common as the number of people claiming it today.
7685005
And that is an incredibly ignorant statement, evolution has jack-shit to do with a person's sexuality. If it did then there would ONLY ever be heterosexual people. Is it really that hard to wrap your brain around the idea that some people are just not interested? You are being -phobic and hurtful.
7685005
Or, you know, evolution allows for asexuality due to extensive family maintenance--breeders and caretakers need not be the same. I've heard that theory too. Apparently it's not that uncommon.
In all seriousness, saying 'So and So sexuality/gender identity/mental issue doesn't exist because SCIENCE' kind of misses the point of SCIENCE. And usually causes flame wars. So I'll drop this now and politely ask you do too.
7685040
Actually, most theories on the subject tend to assume that's the source behind gay people, since they're more common later in the family, meaning the last born is more likely to be gay than the first born, possibly due to hormonal changes in the womb. I'm not really sure if I believe that one, but it is an interesting theory.
Oh, and I never accept someone making a point and then demanding the conversation end on their point. If you don't want the conversation to continue, don't make a point, it feels like an attempt to get the last word in otherwise.
7685034
and that's an ACTUALLY ignorant statement. Evolution has literally everything to do with sexuality. I'm not sure I believe that there's some "purpose" to gay people, I think it's entirely possible that evolution just isn't that fine tuned to avoid people being attracted to the same sex, but the single strongest human impulse is the drive to breed. That doesn't mean asexuality can't happen- another of the strongest impulses is the drive to survive, but suicide and depression happen, but I don't think it's natural in the same way homosexuality is. I think most people who identify as asexual see movies and TV shows where people aren't capable of thinking of anything BUT sex, and are relatively laid back about it, and assume that means they're special in some way, and I worry that the internet culture emerging that glorifies being LGBT+ is just going to make that worse, as people seek labels to adorn themselves with so they can be cool- see demisexuality and its status as "I'm attracted to people more after I get to know them", or the dozens of labels that basically mean "I'm a girl and comfortable being a girl but I like X amount of boy things" out there. I'm not saying any given person who identifies as asexual is inherently wrong- I'm saying I see way too many people identifying as asexual for it to make sense. I think a lot of people who identify as asexual are either confused or being unfortunately influenced by the aforementioned culture.

In other words, you can't let anyone else get that last word. However, I'm pulling authorial privilege. There are any number of places to have a circular argument about this kind of thing on the Internet. I will not allow this comments section to become one. Any further comments on this topic will be deleted.
7685034, 7685040, I'm afraid that goes for you too. If I'm going to be harsh, I need to at least be fair.
7685085
No, I'm saying that either a conversation hits a natural end point or the person simply says "I'm not really interested in having this discussion". This is especially the case because he hadn't participated in the conversation to that point, meaning his participation was literally "Here's my point now don't respond to it or you're mean." I don't like that.
That said, I'll respect your wishes. If either of them want to continue the discussion in PMs, my inbox is open.
Huh, thought the phrase was just "Twisexual" not "Twilightsexual"
She is a being that is above sexuality and gender and love because love is a byproduct of the need to reproduce and therefore it is irrelevant to a conceptual existence like sunset

"Yeah, concept of Harmony. Love's kind of a big part of that. And let's not forget that Princess Twilight lives in the offspring of Equestria's spirit of Harmony."
