“But there are 21 candles! She must be 21!”
WRONG. Look, it’s not one of those ruddy flat-cakes. It’s one of those three-dimensional ones. Rainbow Dash herself flies around it. And Amy Keating Rogers said it herself. These candles can mean nothing. The cake would look pretty stupid if it didn’t have enough candles to go around at that size.

She’s not 21. And neither is she over 40. Plus, they’re horses. Real ones live 25-30 years, tops. Do you want Rainbow Dash to go so soon?

And Equestria years might differ from Earth years. Everything in regards to time and seasons could be filmed at certain periods to fit the dates for Earth audiences… what am I talking about? IT’S A ANIMATED SHOW. IT ISN’T REAL. WAKE UP, CHILDREN. FACE THE MUSIC.
