@J Teeth, I'd be more surprised if she didn't, I totally expected her to freak out over the fact she got an odd number of cupcakes. The fact she focused on frosting shows she's worse than we can imagine.

Darkest Sketch! Darkest Sketch! Darkest Sketch!

We know that Twi can get anxious enough to wear a groove in the floor by sheer force of pacing.

Ahem :

Oh why should we listen to you, Porkins? You were the first one to die anyway!

His name is Porkins? The tubby guy is named Porkins?

All hail Faust.

Three times that Faust pic has shown up recently . It's a good piece of art though.

Yeah, I'm just wondering because so far she's more Neat Freak than anything else. I wonder if the show would ever show more odd quirks, like having to turn all her books a certain way, or turn each page twice or something.

@ed Whoops, must've missed it. Have this◊ for consolation.

@Sky: That's...that's not consoling.

OOC: Ok, numbers. Remember guys, you are talking to an engineer in training. My classes read more numbers than actual words. For me, numbers and superstition never related in any way, shape, or form. I do know that superstition is rooted in psychology but if I am to fully understand this (with justice) I would need to switch majors.

Like I said, I had an argument with my ex way back when that went nowhere. Neither one of us could get the other to concede and I highly doubt this thread will be any different. I might get a decent explanation of number superstitions, but I won't hold my breath.

I will say this; arguing number superstitions with me will most likely be fruitless. If you have something good to say, by all means, say it, but understand who you are talking to. I have no grudge with people who have number superstitions. I simply do not get it and it confuses the fuck out of me.

Mayhaps◊ one of◊ these◊ will◊ soothe◊ you.◊

Sky Strike: Twenty-Seven is my lucky number, too! Is it because 3^3 = 27?

@Sky: That last one is very soothing indeed.

And maybe Whathisgame can answer this better: There's a toy called Princess Skyla? Who's a Sweetie Belle recolor? What?

@Orion: I honestly don't get it either, and I have a weird obsession with the number 4. I think it's mainly because of the symmetry; I associate the number with evenness and stuff that relates to it seems more correct or smoothed out for some reason. It's weird.

@ATC I picked it as mine because it's Weird Al's lucky number, because aluminum (Al) has the atomic number 27.

@ed I'm assuming Cadance and Shiny's kid.

@JT 4 sounds like "death" in Chinese and is considering unlucky there, but I like it.

@Sky: That's oddly plausible, if they ever get around to having a kid.

@ed It seems like the logical explanation, because it'd suck if they just pull another princess out of thin air.

@Sky: Yeah, I tend to associate more with stuff like compass directions and whatnot. Also the fact that it's the first square of a whole number that isn't the number itself. But yeah, Four is Death definitely puts an odd spin on it.

It would actually be pretty interesting if the new princess is SA and Cadance's kid. I wonder how Twi would react to being an aunt. Although you just know the fandom would take the implication about what SA and Cadance were up to offscreen and run with it.

Spike will get to be the godfather, and become The Godfather.

@Sky: It's lazy, definitely. You could at least ask a dhx artist to make a new vector for you. I'm tired of them constantly reusing vectors. All the art on the toy boxes look exactly the same.

They already are anyway.

Well, yeah, but now they'd have an excuse other than just being pervy.

I loooove powers of two, the Fibonacci Sequence, and the golden ratio. So, yeah: I dig four too.

Edit: Okay, nevermind, the topic shifted again.

@JT: I don't think anyone was overly fixated when the Cakes had babies. But then again, SA and Cadence are the hotter couple of the two.

I think that they're both cute couples. The Cakes have Mr. Cake and Mrs. Cake, and The Sparkle-Mi Amores have Shining Armor and Cadance.

Wasn't there a marriage recently?
