Well, it appears that I am again a Tales fan, and have become one on the same thread as before! (It is kind of ridiculous to have that as a rank name, considering that essentially everyone who comes here is a Tales fan). I still don't have Clover, even after over a year.

Ah yeah... When I was much younger and an inexperienced writer (maybe nine or ten), I created a Tales parody series called 'Ace-Man and the Masters of Ponyland'. Basically, it was He-Man with the Tales characters each in the roles of the aforementioned show's characters (with, obviously, Ace as He-Man). Ah yes, those days when you were young and wrote such things as that...

However, it seems that THIS forum is returning to its original state - five users (Starswirl, Bobdude, Lancewing, Yoshi and I) have been online in the past 24 hours, which is a huge improvement from the desolate wasteland that this forum was last week.

Although, if one considers it, she had GOOD luck in 'Out of Luck' (at the end), 'Sister of the Bride' (when she caught the wedding rings) and 'And the Winner Is...' (Pretty obvious one there). Maybe Clover's fluctuating luck is just a personification of sorts of her also rapidly fluctuating confidence. Note how when she realized that the teapot in 'Out of Luck' wasn't affecting her 'luck' (or rather, her confidence) good luck (or confidence) returned to her.
Now here's an interesting question... Well, maybe it is. If glowing magical ponies and the ghost of Squire exist in the Tales universe, then it is possible that Clover's luck is really supernatural.
Honestly, I think that it's more of a one-sided thing. sweetheart appears to like/care for Teddy, but Teddy doesn't seem to reciprocate that feeling, I've always thought that he's usually just grateful that Sweetheart has helped him out of whatever situation he's in. The comics portray them as secret friends with an 'I got your back' type relationship (In the comics, Teddy is attracted to Bon Bon, which the ending of 'Bon Bon's Diary' kind of implies).
My personal favorite Sweetheart moment is probably either the face she made in the 'Boys Boys Boys!' song in 'The Tea Party' or her defense of Teddy overall in 'Stand By Me'.
I am creating some more threads about somewhat forgotten and/or neglected Tales characters (such as Starlight and Melody) at the moment to attract some more users back to the forum. Best Starlight moment: Hmm... Probably in Just for Kicks where she displayed her newfound soccer talent.

I honestly agree with you (having voted for it as well). It is honestly a really great episode. I also voted for Ponies in Paradise and The Great Lemonade Stand Wars, until I withdrew some votes so I had only picked one episode.

As an owner of most of these comics, I am pretty glad that Starlight got some time in the limelight here - something that the cartoon was cancelled before it could do just that.
