Lightwing

For those not on the know, this is 零(れい), or Rei, a japanese Kanji with various meanings, but its most basic one is Zero, nothingness. Back to the start you go 

Normal people: wow, the staff must be all the time dealing with serious work, must be tough!

Me: ...welllll, @Princess Silky is being funky again

-2

I mean, technically we could make it so staff can count into the negatives. I suggested that a while back! 

But still, 0 is 0. Sorry about that.

If you were staff, you would understand how fun the number 0 is though!

Just say it outloud, zero. It's like poetry on the making.

It's time to share a fun fact about the number 4 in Japanese:

It is considered bad luck to use the number 4 in Japanese, this is due to one of its readings, し(Shi), which shares the same pronunciation as the kanji 死(Shi), which means 'Death'. So, when it can be avoided to be used, it is avoided.

Why do I share that fun fact? Because like Shi signifies, this streak is dead, and we're back to 0 

Greetings denizens of MLPForums!

It has been a long time since I last made a post of any type in here, but for those that haven't keep track of my "distinguised" career, I am Lightwing!  Keeper of Ships, Romance, and anything involving the romantic relationship between two characters and/or people. Technically speaking, I hung the mantle of Keeper of Ships a veeery long time ago, albeit unofficially, which means that nobody truly took up the mantle... And well, I have been witness to recent events, so while I may not call it an official comeback, let's be fancy, just for old times' sake.

 Howdy, it is I, Cupid Strike, and I like romance!

But that's enough introduction! Why are we here today, gathered in this silly little post anyways? Well, let me introduce you to two people you may be aware of...

Introducing Vibrant Grove, more famously known as @Hugs of Sir Manys! Our current mostly benevolent ruler that everyone likes! Alongside...

Star Silk, or more famously known as @Princess Silky! Our current *other* mostly benevolent ruler that everyone likes!

These two are my case study on what makes a great ship, probably *the* best ship. I'll let other people come to their own conclusion on that one. But while I could spend A LOT of time showing why these two are the absolute OTP, let's just look at some highlights 

Not even trying to hide his feelings, being upfront and clear, and she accepts them just as well!

Alongside the absolute pinnacle of adorableness, just for those that are still not convinced!

And if either of these two didn't convince you enough...

Just look at her side of the ship, she's just as open and upfront about them as he is 

Understanding a great ship is about seeing how two people reinforce each other's best and help themselves be their very best, and just because it works like it, they are even admins together! kissing under the t r e e <3

Also, for the sponsor of this post, we have...

And with that, I leave you all with a small showing about "Understanding a great ship", because these pictures say more than another thousand words would be able to say

I had a busy day at work. Please do entertain me. 

This is how I entertain my people

Well Silky, I got some bad news for you

We are legally not allowed to count to 100, our only purpose in existence is to keep the number from reaching that high 

Edit: this feels like bullying...

Good afternoon!

Crash Bandicoot 3, on the (not so) faithful year of 2001, during the spring 

...At least, I remember it being after school *and* warm, so it had to be spring.

Little did they know, when he says that what he actually means is "It's not going to work out"

Still at 0

We broke the entire thread and its people's minds, all in less than 10 minutes

...I don't know if to be happy, or scared. 

Also, 0

Tsk tsk, only mods can count into the negatives, silly! 

You are supossed to count into the positives, and make an example of us staff

Also, 0, to be nice to everyone

-5

-3

Well, time to put it to the test

-1

Zero!

...Now that I think about it, if mods post in a row, does the count go into the negatives?

New game, count in negative until a user posts.

Hey @Rainbowdash69!

I just wanted to let you know I made a small fix to this thread's title. The original title had a spelling error and I took a moment to fix it, and furthermore, I gave it a gaming tag to be consistent with other threads discussing games.

Apologies for the inconvenience!

Switched keys around, decided I would screenshot my first try, no matter what. Seems like I am alright at this stuff 

...Also, I know what inspired this very game, @Rikifive! You can't escape from my ever seeing eye.

It was Dance Dance Revolution, wasn't it???

Hey there, @manoffewwords!

Due to the topic at hand, I am going to move this thread to the Forum Lounge, where this kind of discussion is more than welcome and encouraged! 

Furthermore, I took the freedom to make a poll where any user can choose what they feel is their preference in this case. Hope you all have a good time with it!

The great quest to find this thread and bring it back from the dead, colourized in 2023

@Sir Hugsalot@Princess Silky@SimonWatch me do magic

12!

...Hold up a minute

I am watching you, user below me

Hey @Gabriel Sava!

I just wanted to let you know that I moved your post to a more fitting place due to the topic at hand, and here you can celebrate more properly Rainbow Dash's (slightly belated) birthday. 

Have some basic Dashie as well, just because why not.
