Does the word "mare" ever appear in canon?
Outside of names like MMDW and Mayor Mare. Are the mane 6 ever called Mares?
We usually call the mane 6 mares, but im sure fillies appears more often.
It does in my fanfiction, which is basically canon anyway

The Mane Six's age is left ambiguous. They're never outright called fillies or mares.

Celestia call them "©My Little Ponies™" all the time

>They all live on their own and run businesses and have jobs
>Their age is left ambiguous
I suppose technically yes, in the sense that the actual number is never started, but they're clearly adults. They're teens in EqG because of the difference in maturity between humans and ponies. If you buy into the comparisons between real equines and cartoon ones, then it only takes a few years for them to grow to adulthood.

Friendship is Magic Pt. 1: In the opening sequence, NMM is called "a wicked mare of darkness"
Ticket Master: Rarity calls herself "a mysterious mare"
Sweet and Elite: "every mare in Canterlot" will want Rarity's dress
Hearts and Hooves Day: "Miss Cheerilee is one of the best mares in Ponyville"
Canterlot Wedding: "best mare", "mares and gentlecolts", "I now pronounce you mare and colt"
Magic Duel: Twilight says she can "turn a mare into a stallion" and proceeds to show AJ "turned" into a stallion
etc. etc.

this comforts me. I just like the word "mare"

I'm searching through all the transcripts, and unfortunately the word "mare" isn't really used outside of names and puns after the first couple seasons.
>>30193765
they gave up making the characters "horsey" after S2.
no more horse noises or saddles and stuff.

I thought they were all teenagers with Fluttershy being older than rainbow dash and etc... Plus EG implies that they are teens.

I said MMDW
>>30193931
oh sorry
>>30193928
EQG is horseshit though. they were teens in that just to sell dolls.
In the show they are grown ups.

Rainbow dash had to 21'st birthday in one of the earlier seasons if I remember correctly. In that one where cheese sandwich was introduced.
>>30194026
that wasn't her 21st. just a headcanon based on the way the animator put the candles. and they were only the ones on the front.

Fair point, but unless producers clarify for sure, it's a 50/50 thing.
