Big Macintosh - Tumblr Posts

ARE WE JUST GONNA GLOSS OVER THE FACT THAT BIG MAC HAD BEEN CONFIRMED CANONICALLY BI/POLY FOR THE PAST 7 YEARS?????? HOW AM I JUST LEARNING THIS HELLO

So I was racking my brain trying to think about queer representation in kids shows/movies I loved growing up and legitimately all I could come up with was Lyra Heartstrings & BonBon from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and Miss Spink & Miss Forcible from Coraline.

*There are other queer characters in MLP:FiM, BUT LyraBon are huge since the fandom shipped them for years before they were canon. Some others include Applejack & Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo's aunts, Sunset Shimmer (bi), King Sombra (bi), and Big Mac (bi, polyamorous/enjoys drag on screen).

And like I love them! Really, I do! But MAN was it sad to realize just how little queer rep I remember growing up with and seeing on screen. Lyra & BonBon were the first blatant in-your-face undeniable queer rep of ANY kind I saw on screen, in fact, and their romance wasn't blatantly established until 5 years into the show. I'm so incredibly glad that kid's media is showing more queer rep these days and in more diverse ways (not shading either of the above examples, it's just that a wide variety of queer rep is important!). I still adore the queer characters I did get to see on screen, and I love seeing new media that boldly and proudly represents queerness for kid's media nowadays (I'm still obsessed with Nimona, y'all better go watch that movie it's a miracle it even got made). I just look back and think about how much easier life could have been if I were exposed to my kind of queerness as a kid; I haven't seen a queer transmasc character in a kid's show until very very recently. I'm glad kiddos like me will see those characters and feel less confusion or fear about themselves because of it. But I'm sad to have had to go through it.

Thank you, my little lesbian ponies and silly old circus lesbians, for introducing me to a world I didn't yet know I was a part of. It did make things easier in a way.

since comphet and heteronormativity don’t rlly seem to be a thing in equestria, I have this hc that Big Mac just grew up liking dudes exclusively, until the cmc came in w their love potion and forced him and Cheerilee to fall in love. And that Awakened smth in him.

Hm i wonder what these two could possibly have in common

BIG MAC!!! (intosh)

I'm trying new things for my art

Orchard Blossom’s transition is going really well! or how she’d put it, “Eeyup!”

some old doodles i did of if the flim flam brothers were part of the apple family. I'd think they'd be the ones who would be manning the stall in the town center or maybe even still occasionally doing travelling sales to promote the farm.

I stand by the fact that in their first appearance the super speedy cider squeezy wasn't actually a scam, it did work. so in this i think they wouldn't be as scammy as they ended up being by the end of the show. As they're good sales men and when they have a genuine product there no need for them to lie.

exaggerate? yeah ofc, they're still themselves. But i think the contrast between the more humble down to earth fam next to the theatrical, exaggerating twin unicorns is very funny.

help girl my mind has been consumed by horses
