Candle Logics. · 2:11am Jun 26th, 2015
This is completely unrelated to my previous blogs, but this is something I absolutely CANNOT go without saying. I just watched Digibro's video on the Mane Six's ages with Cutie Mark Chronicles, and checked out the comments. A good deal of people are saying Rainbow is 21 because of the number of candles on her cake, and nopony's making a good enough counterargument. For those curious, here is the video:
My problem is that people consistently forget a key part of Pinkie Pride: It's not just Rainbow's birthday, it's the anniversary of when she moved to Ponyville. Seriously people, quit acting like this doesn't exist. Ignoring that, by this logic, Rainbow is FORTY-ONE! 41! Which is DISTINCTLY impossible because of the Best Young Flier's competition from Sonic Rainboom!
Official sources apparently say that this is Rainbow's tenth birthiversary. That removes 10 candles from the equation, leaving us at 31. Still too old. Also, that's a big damn cake! And not everybody uses candles to signify age with birthday cakes! Therefore, those candles might just be there for DECORATION! Seriously, until it's outright said by official sources TO MY FACE, you CANNOT use this to confirm Rainbow's age, and with her, the other Mane Six's ages either!
*sigh* Okay, caaaalm......If anyone wants my evidence to the case of the Mane Six being teenagers, let me know and I'll make another blog talking about that stuff. Meanwhile, I'mma go off and read something good, maybe start working on them oneshots I've promised......
