I. A Tale of Two Shows When I wrote the few pieces of fiction I have set in the Equestria Girls side continuity, I wrote them from the assumption that Sunset Shimmer was heterosexual and passionate (though at first sexually-inexperienced, due to her youth at the time of entering the Humanoid world). Given this, my unfinished prequel (An Equestrian Gentlemare) was chiefly about Sunset Shimmer's love affair with Flash Sentry, in which they stop short of full genital

What I assume, based in part on the three photos of Sunset winning the Crown, is that the Sunset Shimmer who first came to the Humanoidverse was a much nicer person than the Sunset Shimmer we meet in the first Equestria Girls movie. Originally, she mostly manipulated others in what she considered was self-defense, considering that she had found herself in a society of (by Equestrian standards) cruel carnivorous ape-things.

Show seems to take the Sci-Twi x Timber Spruce love seriously, or at least as seriously as it takes any love affairs on the show that have not turned into engagements or marriages. Proof of this is that in the little "Mad Twience" short, Sci-Twi has Timber's picture on her desk, which implies that a little more happened between them than just going to a dance together. And, of course, the Rainbooms in general have retained a connection with Camp Everfree, as they're fundraising for them in

... "Experimental Results," in which Our Heroine gets sappy, dodges a threat of whose existence she is never actually aware, analyzes her latest data, comes to some scientific conclusions, and discovers what is more terrifying than an attack by evil warlocks.

I base my portrayal of Sunset Shimmer on the devious tactics she has used to dominate Canterlot High School when we first meet her, coupled with the way in which she is able to become friends with the Humane Five after her Heel-Face Turn, and clinched by the big Not So Different moment that she has with Princess Twilight in Rainbow Rocks. The tactics shown are of intrigue and misdirection rather than brutal bullying, and I am far from convinced that overt brutal bullying would

Some of my thoughts about the Equestria Girls universe:

A moral progress implies the possession of some sort of morals. I do assume that Sunset Shimmer has morals, even pre-reform. Note, though, that at this point in her character development, they are almost entirely self-serving ones.

If Sunset Shimmer had no morals, she wouldn't have been capable of her Heel Realization and Heel Face Turn a bit later, in Equestria Girls.

Those of you who have read An Equestrian Gentlemare, Stranded Amongst Alien Barbarians, Consoles Herself, may have noticed that the Sunset Shimmer I portray in this story is morally-imperfect. This is not even because she does sexual things with Flash Sentry -- she does this in love, after all, and "Love Makes Clean" is explicitly part of my Equestria's philosophy of sexual morality. Under the same conditions, Twilight Sparkle might very well do exactly the same sorts of

I've come to realize that it's very hard for me to write "simple."

My original concept for An Equestrian Gentlemare ... was "Sunset Masturbates." It's become, instead, "Sunset Falls Madly In Love With Flash But Gives Up Her Happiness For Ambition and Fails To Get Either." It's morphed into a major romantic tragedy.

I guess I actually don't find a woman masturbating, with no particular backstory to the event, at all fascinating.

I just submitted a half-finished story (6,000 words, and I project it as being 10,000 - 12,000 words total length) about Sunset Shimmer (and secondarily Flash Sentry). It's Mature, though like His Recipe For Love it's not primarily pornographic. There is, so far, one rather hot makeout scene, and there may be one or two other sexual scenes before the end of the story. It's mostly about what Sunset Shimmer thinks of herself, and the Humanoids among whom she is self-exiled, in the times
