Post by: xkelpiex on February 08, 2012, 02:46:30 PM
MLP's FB page posted a colouring page today featuring Cheerilee and Big Mac on a porch bordered with hearts! Think we have a new canon couple on our hands?

Oh, shoot, I was really hoping they would make Fluttershy/Big Mac canon, but I can see where they'd want to keep the Mane Six single.

I.. Don't think this sits quite right with me, to be honest. In my mind, Cheerilee is somewhat older than Big Mac, but I guess he likes older ladies. /shrugs

I kind of shipped him with Fluttershy, but this is very cute too. It just depends on how they pull it off though.

Yeah, if you watch the promo for the We <3 Ponies Mare-athon you can see a clip of Cheerilee and Big Mac eating on a picnic cloth as the CMC skip by singing "He's your special some pony"

Big Mac is older than AJ (right? older brother?) so perhaps he's around Cheerilee's age. I don't do all that "shipping" junk so it doesn't mean anything to me, I'm just curious to see what happens in the new episode XD

I think ANY sort of romance between any of the ponies is such a sweet idea!  I missed that in the G3 movies (Did I make my own pairs though?  Oh heck yes I did!)  I'm enjoying the things about this series that make it a bit like Tales (ponies buying stuff, eating ice cream, and now a wittle romance).

I saw a small clip in one of the Hub commercials, it looked like the Cutie Mark Crusaders used some kind of love potion or something! :o

Off-subject: Does this mean a possibility for a toy set with big mac and cheerilee? :D Maybe that's why the episode...

But, it's for valentine's day. It's probably going to end with nothing new, no relationships forming. But then again, Big Mac is older than the mane six, and he seems the equivalent of a mid 20-something, college-age brother to a teenage sister. Cheerilee seems mid-to-late 20's in my mind.

This is pony age though. XD It's Hasbro's universe, we just play in it...and don't have to accept it. lol! Like vinzydesigns said! FlutterMac is cute...but I almost am scared to see what Fluttershy would be like on a date. Lots of cute eeps and wide-eyed staring...but that would be adorable to watch, too.

Post by: littlexflitter on February 08, 2012, 07:14:32 PM
I would much rather see Big Mac with Cheerliee than with one of the Mane Six. I don't think he should be dating his sister's friends. I wouldn't be too surprised to find that Big Macintosh and Cheerliee aren't too far apart in age. However, I'd rather this be a silly attempt by the Cutie Mark Crusaders and nothing official.

What is Caramac?

I kind of shipped him with Fluttershy, but this is very cute too. It just depends on how they pull it off though.

Caramel + Big Mac. ;) He's a background pony - the extent of their interaction is Big Mac's line "Eeyup" in response to "Did Caramel lose the grass seeds again this year?" He seems to be kind of an introvert, a more 'unlucky' fellow, despite his horse-shoe symbol, so ... I just really like the idea of him being taken care of by Big Mac. ;3 He's shown up a couple of times after that - he said "EXCUUUSE ME" when he was pulling Rarity's carriage to the Grand Galloping Gala, and I think he's been in some background group shots, too. He also talked in the Super-Squeezy 6000 cider episode!


Heehee. Caramac is kind of a crack ship by the very nature of the show but don't worry. It's not like we can't enjoy playing with the characters, even if Canon is contrary to it. :D No smashy smashy, kay?

NO. I WILL NOT LISTEN TO REASON! CARAMAC OR DEATH. AND WE'RE ALL OUT OF DEATH. YOUR OPTIONS ARE "OR CARAMAC."

Hee hee. But logically, I feel like almost all shipping on this show is cracky - it just doesn't seem to be a very romance-based show. Which I like! Which is why I think this episode's moral might be "don't mess around in other people's love lives, you freakin' kids" instead of "spiking people's foods with unknown potions ALWAYS ENDS WELL!"

I'm glad I'm not the only one! XD

I also think the Cheerilee/Big Mac relationship seems a little odd. I know Big Mac is Applejack's OLDER brother, but it still seems like Cheerilee should be too old for him. Seems like a sketchy teacher/student relationship to me :P But I'm sure the episode will play it out well and hopefully give some more insight as to Big Mac's age so that it doesn't seem strange.

HA. I WISH Hasbro and other companies would be progressive enough to consider same gender relationships....

Although, as been said, it doesn't seem like lovey-dovey couples is really a theme one would associate with FiM...

Then again, if the toy line theme this year is weddings, who knows? Maybe more couples will be popping up on the show.

I never thought of Cheerilee as that old! I always thought she was the young, hip teacher. I mean, she was only a filly in the 80's.

Um... exactly. That was 30 years ago, making her at least 40 (late 30's at the absolute youngest). Big Mac couldn't possibly be out of his early 20's, if that.
Title: Re: Romance between Cheerilee and Mig Mac? MLP facebook says so!
Post by: Elisto on February 09, 2012, 10:01:18 AM
Uh, will2bfree, someone who's 40 today would have been born in 1972, meaning they'd be 18 in 1990 (when styles like the crimped hair and leg warmers still existed...the crimped hair G1s came out in the early 90s actually), and since Cheerilee looks like she had braces in that picture, I'd say she was a lot younger than 18. Also, this all assumes FiM follows the same timeline as the real world.

(And why can't BigMac be in his late 20s?)

Actually, when I was in elementary school, my siblings were all in their early to late 20's. :p  Of course, this is ponies we're talking about. XD So it'd be possible for Applebloom to have an older brother in his late 20's, an older sister in her early 20's (that's how I see Applejack anyway). Her parents would have had her later, human equivalent of late 30's, but had Big Mac in their late teens to very early 20's. I imagine Cheerilee being in her early to mid 30's.

LOL this is just going to far in debate for me, so Imma step out.

They do look cute together though! :D I kind of like it better than FlutterMac.

Well, I don't ship characters anyway.  I prefer to let the show play matchmaker  :P  I think they could be cute together!

Also, If Cheerilee was a filly in the 80's, that makes her only a little older than me.  So late 20's.  Applejack is clearly an adult and Big Mac is her older brother.  I always picture Big Mac as late-20's to early-30's, so it works for me.

I dont understand the "shipping" concept [but thats just my personal opinion] but as this has been done in the context of a Valentines Day episode I actually quite enjoyed it in its own lovely dovy, overly sickly way!

Actually, somewhat same here...or, at least, I don't think the FiM timeline necessarily corresponds to reality. I do think the main characters are the equivalent of young adults...18- early 20s-ish, but that's about as specific as I actually get.

Mainly I was reacting to the implication that people who were young in the 80s are old!  :lol:

Post by: Quill on February 09, 2012, 02:28:18 PM
While I could care less about shipping, I don't see anything wrong with the couple. They are kinda cute actually. My biggest issue is how it seems to be wrong or undesirable because they're ages might be different. Really now? Two people (or ponies) whose ages might be significantly different can't possibly be in a relationship with one another and if they are, it's inappropriate or wrong? I just don't get this attitude.

As for the episode itself, it was very cute and funny. Not a favorite of mine, but I did enjoy it.  ^.^

I don't ship one couple or the other on this show, so I'm going to wait and see what happens when the episode airs before I make any opinion.  I'm just hoping Big Mac has some sort of dialogue with Cheerilee, as I'm getting  a little tired of the "Eeeh. . .  Yup."  :)

Eeee, you know, a few of you guys seem awful convinced Cheerlee and Big Mac will be a couple at the end of the episode. Could be a fake out. Apparently there was a Powerpuff Girl episode with a similar premise that ended that way. Maybe yes, maybe no, who knows which way it could go! I mean, apart from anybody who watched the itunes leak that is XD

While I could care less about shipping, I don't see anything wrong with the couple. They are kinda cute actually. My biggest issue is how it seems to be wrong or undesirable because they're ages might be different. Really now? Two people (or ponies) whose ages might be significantly different can't possibly be in a relationship with one another and if they are, it's inappropriate or wrong? I just don't get this attitude.

As for the episode itself, it was very cute and funny. Not a favorite of mine, but I did enjoy it.  ^.^

QFT. My hubby and I have a double digit age difference, so I totally get this!

Nope. Don't like it. I dismiss their reality, and substitute it with my own.


Fluttermac forever.
This. ^^ As Forrest Gump would say, "And that's all I have to say about that."

Glad I'm not the only one. :D My hubby and I also have a double digit age difference, which is why the attitude pushed my buttons.

Uh, will2bfree, someone who's 40 today would have been born in 1972, meaning they'd be 18 in 1990 (when styles like the crimped hair and leg warmers still existed...the crimped hair G1s came out in the early 90s actually), and since Cheerilee looks like she had braces in that picture, I'd say she was a lot younger than 18. Also, this all assumes FiM follows the same timeline as the real world.

(And why can't BigMac be in his late 20s?)


Ok, let me start by saying I'm not a 'shipper. I honestly don't really care for there to be romantic relationships in the show, but if there was, I think the one people have mentioned with Fluttershy and Big Mac sounds much more appropriate given both of their gentle natures (I didn't even realize this 'ship existed until people mentioned it). I don't care if people have real life relationships with people older than themselves, my personal cut-off is five years difference, but I have friends dating men much older than them and my sister married a man much older than her. It's a little "icky" from my point of view, because I'm just not in to older men, but if that's their thing, good for them (I also don't care if it's an older woman vs. older man, my mother was older than my dad, but it wasn't a huge difference). I don't really care; it doesn't affect me in any way regardless. So I was NOT trying to be judgmental. There's nothing wrong with marrying someone older than you, and there's nothing wrong with being uncomfortable about a huge age difference in relationships, both views have their merit. You can post your preference, but taking issue with other people who post theirs is being overly defensive and I can't help but see it as antagonistic. Nobody was being rude, just saying 'I think she's a little old for him'. Then you have to escalate it and make it into something personal. People are entitled to their opinions and you shouldn't try to control that or make them feel bad for it. Have some respect for others, please.

Now let me say that I was born in '88 and my closest sibling to me in age is 11 years older. I realize that it's POSSIBLE to have siblings much older than yourself. I just don't get the impression that Big Mac is that old. In the episode "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" we saw a flashback that showed both Big Mac and Applejack when they were younger. Big Mac was still quite small leaving me to believe he's only a few short years older than Applejack (him and Applejack are closer in age, than Applejack and Applebloom, for instance). My best guess would be two or three years, though I'd be willing to stretch that to four or even five, if hard pressed. You can see a picture by scrolling down at this link: http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/The_Cutie_Mark_Chronicles/Gallery (http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/The_Cutie_Mark_Chronicles/Gallery)
Now since the majority seem to believe the mane 6 are about college age, I'll loosely give Applejack the age of 19. 19+5=24 (5 at a maximum, remember! I'm trying to play nice and stretch it to your perception as well.) Now you can play with that number a little adding or subtracting a couple years from their ages, but that still leaves Big Mac in his early to mid-20's.

Ok, now regarding your reply, we were talking about the '80s NOT the '90s (and frankly you're being VERY generous saying that style was still "in" in 1990. And even if a few people were still clinging to it, that's far from it being popular. Cheerilee said that that's the way everyone was dressing, meaning it must have still been in the height of it's popularity.). '80s means '89 at the latest, and the overwhelming consensus is that that picture was from the '80s. I hate to quibble over just one year of difference, but the line must be drawn somewhere. Also, I was working with the assumption that she was at LEAST ten in that picture, though frankly I think she was older. Probably 14 or 15, though I would not be at all surprised if she was 16 or older. The majority of people I know that have had braces didn't get them until they were 14 or 15 and wore them for at least a couple years. So, if '89 was the latest the picture could be taken, and I think we all agree she was at least ten in that picture (http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Call_of_the_Cutie/Gallery (http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Call_of_the_Cutie/Gallery) - there it says she's a teenager. I'd have to watch the episode again to see if she actually says that's a picture of her as a teenager, I can't remember. But she doesn't look much, if any, younger than the mane 6 are now.), then the youngest she could be is 33. More realistically I'd go with mid-'80s, so '85, and say she's probably about 15 in that picture, making her 42 now. I did say late thirties to over forty. 33 is early thirties, but that was really just for illustration, I do think she's older than that (can anyone confirm if it says she's a teenager in the picture? That would raise her minimum age 3 years; so the youngest she could be is 36).

So the oldest Big Mac could be is 24, and the youngest Cheerilee could be is 33 = minimum 9 years difference. Though, as I've already said, I think that number is actually greater.

Also, I wasn't implying that people who were kids in the '80s are old. I never once said she was old (nobody said she was old, actually). My reason based assumption about her age was only to illustrate that she was older than Big Mac. I didn't even use the word old. Your reaction must be based on your own insecurities. But I don't care how sensitive you are about your age, that's no reason to insult my intelligence and insinuate to others that I can't do the most basic of math problems. My initial reply and this one as well were well thought out and I stand by them.

Since your reply was fueled by the incorrect assumption that I had slighted you, I'd like to apologize if you found my earlier post offensive. I'm not trying to insult anyone; I'm only using reason and the power of deduction.

I have not seen the episode yet, but I do hope it's just something cooked up by the CMC and not a real relationship.

Also, what does QFT mean? I know it's in the rules your not supposed to use text speak and I take great pains not to use "lol" (it's very, very hard, but I want to follow the rules!), so I'd appreciate it if you'd spell that out for me, literally.

One last thing! I had to take a break in the middle of this because my cat decided it would be a good idea to relieve herself on the floor instead of going outside and I had to clean it up. So if part of it's a bit disjointed (I tried to read over it so it wouldn't be, but I'm not perfect) or if some of it seems like I was a bit annoyed, that's probably because it's a part I wrote after that. *yuck!*

I watched the episode ^^ I thought it was cute! And that's all I'll say on that to avoid spoilers!

On age differences, my mom's husband is old enough to be her father, literally. I mean an age difference of over 20 years! And they're happier together than she ever was with my biological father for sure. Age is not at all important, once you're at the age of consent and/or age of majority, all age becomes in relationships is a personal preference. BUT personal preference means everyone can have a different feeling about it so it's okay if someone doesn't like the thought of being with someone with a huge age difference. I just mean to say that a huge age gap is not at all a big deal to plenty of people. Cheerilee is probably older than Big Mac, for sure, but I mean she looks just the same as the main characters, she doesn't look older or anything.


Honestly I think in a world where talking ponies exist and pegacorn princesses can live thousands upon thousands of years, a debate about age gaps in relationships is kind of like the smallest spec in a much bigger picture of weirdness!

Back on topic sort of, I don't really ship Big Mac with anyone usually. I personally think Mac and Fluttershy is uninteresting... I don't know why it's shipped so hard. Not that I think it's a bad ship or anything. I just don't get it, myself :p

I saw the spoiler episode and loved it. 
I personally think Cheerliee and Big Mac make a nice couple.  I like that the show stayed away from pairing the main6 characters while still doing a cute Valentine's episode.  Definitely enjoying the "special holiday" eps I'm seeing on FiM. ^^

QFT is "quoted for truth". It's internet speak mostly, as I learned the phrase here.

My mom and step-dad are 21 yrs apart in age! And they're loveliest couple ever. While we were discussing age, it didn't really occur to me, but I guess I should have thought it wasn't right. It's just so natural to assume a character has to be the same age until you sit back and think of other possibilities. I know before my parents got married, I was wierded out by huge age diffs in marriages (mind you, I was also a senseless teen) and it took quite a while for me to accept my stepdad's age, but now it's like..."Yeah, so?" So, sorry if I offended anyone! <3
