Help! My Heart is Full of Pony! - A Little Math · 5:41am Jun 26th, 2018
Twilight’s castle has now been part of the show for more episodes than the Golden Oaks Library was.
The Cutie Map has been a driving narrative force for the show for the same number of episodes that the Elements of Harmony and the Tree of Harmony were.
Glimglam too!
How weird is that?

It's really very simple, Sprocket. No matter which way you work the equation, Friendship is still a Magical force. One that surrounds us and binds us together, helping us to feel that we are appreciated and that we belong. Love and Friendship together make Harmony.
Twilight knows the math. I just know it works.
For Twilight's Library, actually, it's a tie now. She was with us for 91 episodes. And so is the castle now. Unless you're counting Episode 26 of Season 4 to that number. Then you can say that it's 92 episodes for the castle and "only" 91 for Twilight's Library, as the castle was already seen in "Twilight's Kingdom Part 2", but Twilight's Library not in the first episode of Season 5.
But even in that case, there is still "Castle Sweet Castle" of Season 5 in which, albeit only after having been destroyed, Twilight's Library plays a big role and was also seen one last time.
Which bumps her counter up to 92 again, so it's still tying 92:92 between Twilight's Library and her castle, as of now.
Wow.

Ah, thanks for looking into that. Still, that it's a tie still comes as a surprise to me, and it will only take one more episode with the castle (as I doubt there will be more with the library, though I suppose it could happen) to break it in the castle's favor.

Yes. Episode 14 of Season 8 will, once the season returns, make it so that the castle is a part of the show for more episodes than Twilight's Library was. But let's not talk about numbers here. It's the memories that were forged in the library that count, all the important things that happened there..... This won't be getting devalued by the castle being a part of the show for longer. The library will always be more important.
I miss Twilight's Library..... Typing that comment reminded me again how much I miss it.
The Elements were returned to the Tree of Harmony, but isn’t the Tree still part of driving the plot? We just had an episode about it, aren’t we still counting the episodes it’s in?
Also, where does this screenshot come from?

Aye, this post and discussion have me thinking about it again too. :)

It's not a tie because the castle shows up at the end of Twilight's Kingdom, Part 2 - the same episode where the tree was destroyed. That's 91 episodes for the library, and 92 for the castle (because of the overlap).

Fluttercheer mentioned that one, though; the difference seems to be whether Castle Sweet Castle is counted as featuring the library or not.

I didn't include it because I'm using episode count as a measure of the passage of time, and the library only shows up in flashbacks in Castle, Sweet Castle.

Ah, fair enough; thanks for the clarification.
