Princess Cadence's Valentine's Day Contest! A SUDDEN TWIST! ~<3~ · 11:11pm Feb 24th, 2014
PRINCESS ME AMORE CADENZA'S VALENTINE'S DAY EXTRAVAGANZA! PART 3!
Hello again, adventurers! Welcome back to our Valentine's Day Contest! Now, as always, I've been carefully counting your votes, and it appears that one of our many ties has taken the lead by one vote! I have to admit, I never expected Spike and Moonstone to even be suggested, let alone to have the lead at our last opportunity to vote! Now, this is everyone's last chance to upset the vote! All it would take is two votes for Whipstitch and Discord or Eclipse and Trixie to change everything!
Cadence. We need to talk.
Penn??
Do you know how old Spike is?
Well, Twilight hatched him when she was six, and now she's 23, so...
17.
Okay, but what does that have to do with anythi-
Do you know how old Moonstone is?
Well, no-
36.
If this pairing goes through, do you know what that will make Moonstone?
Oh, come on, Penn! It's just a little harmless-
A pedophile, Cadence, It would make Moonstone a pedophile.
PENN! Don't say that!
Pedophilia is an entire can of worms I do NOT want opened. So, by the power vested in me as this account's administrator, I am removing Spike from the running. He is too young for this. Cadence, I really question your judgement in adding him to begin with. I'll see you when the contest is over.
BUT PENN! You can't just- I mean- WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO-
... ... ... ... ... ...
Well, I have to apologize, everyone. I really wasn't paying as much attention as I should have. Apparently, Spike's age prevents "proper" shipping with anyone other than other children. Because of this new development, I'm afraid that we're going to need to change up our time remaining.
To allow for the votes to be appropriately recast, I think I'm going to allow voting through the end of the month: two weeks after Valentine's day. Please make sure to vote, especially in light of Spike's... disqualification.
So, for reference, here's the voting so far!
Ace the Changeling X Twilight Sparkle - 1 Vote
Carnival Cat X Pennington Inkwell - 1 Vote
Princess Mi Amore Cadenza (me!) X Pennington Inkwell - 1 Vote
Sure Shot X Quick Strike - 1 Vote
Luna X Discord - 1 Vote
Eclipse Tumult X Trixie Lulamoon - 3 Votes
Whipstitch X Discord - 3 Votes
Spike X Moonstone - 4 Votes
Once again, everyone, I apologize from the very bottom of my heart for this! If I had just been a little more attentive, I might have realized this before it came to the point of Penn intervening. I wish you all luck!
Voting ends on the last day of February!

(In my opinion, I think Penn's just being a giant killjoy...)
1. The proper term would probably be ephebophile, since Spike is technically a teenager...
2. The age of consent in some areas is lower than 18. (In fact, in my neck of the woods, it's 17, Spike's current age.)
But, if you feel uncomfortable writing such a relationship, that's fine. Just don't bring out the pedo card lightly...
Oh, and if Spike's age is a consideration... set the story a few years in the future. Problem solved.
Vote to Luna x discord. So there's that opinion anyway. Wish you two luck with writing whichever couple wins!

But no matter how legal it is or isn't, the age difference is still kind of creepy!
In my area, it's 17...But i can't argue with the standard..
Unless, you know, japan.

Luna X Discord! ALL HAIL THE MOON!
..Also..Wouldn't Shining kill Penn if he found out about that ship?
I agree, Cadence! I think Penn's just being a killjoy.
I have to admit, my next preferred pairing would be Sure Shot/Constant (totally adding a new pairing to the list, no matter how remote the chances of success! )... I think they deserve a teensie bit more screen time.

Well, if you guys don't like the whole "Moonstone is twice his age and that's kinda creepy" problem, then I guess you can sit back and realize that I am simply emulating the Mad King. There's a second excuse for you. Just skip to 36:43.
Either way, I apologize for being a big old killjoy, but there are some folks out there who are VERY sensitive about this kind of thing, and I really think I'd rather be safe than sorry.

lol! Definitely pulled a page from the Mad King's playbook!
Does that mean my idea could come from out of nowhere to win even with just one vote?Though I can't help but find this particular video applicable to the situation as well:

Well, since my last vote is now null I vote
