There's going to be a little ranting here.

I'm really starting to hate all the hate and ridiculing of Celestia.
Saying that she banishes others to the moon just for lulz, that she's useless and was so weak that even Chrysalis defeated her...I get sick of it.

For instance: The moon-joke CAN be fun. I've seen fun stuff with it. But when I see something like: "Celestia is such a soulless bitch! Just because of a little bit of night she banished Luna?!", all I can do is facepalm.
1: It wasn't Luna, it was Nightmare Moon.
2: She did it "reluctantly", as the opening even says!
3: If there was eternal night, the plants would die and then all the ponies would starve! Since Celestia cares about the ponies, why should she let this happen?

Also, about the Chrysalis-thing: Obviously some people don't get the (in my eyes really beautiful) metaphor for Shining Armour's love. The point wasn't that Celestia was so weak that even Chrysalis defeated her, it was the fact that Shining Armour's love to Cadence was so strong and intense that it even overcomes Celestia's powers, which is impressive as Celestia is one of the strongest beings. Is this really so hard to understand (especially considering that this was explained literally seconds after the fight)? I thought it was a really well-done metaphor.

I personally also don't like Trollestia and Molestia. I found Trollestia a bit funny first, but then people started to take it bloody seriously and now call her that ALL THE TIME and just searched for ANYTHING in the episodes that could be called "trolling". (I never even saw the incidents of her "trolling" in the show (e.g. the tea-scene) as "trolling", but rather as teasing. I mean, she didn't want to upset the Cakes or anything, she just wanted to lighten up the mood with a little joke.) Molestia I never liked. I never found it funny. But that's just me.

I'd recommend reading the text to Celestia on this club [link] it explains and explores the whole thing even further.

[Edit:] Oh my fucking god. When I even read stuff like "What if Discord was the good guy and then tyrann Celestia came and overthrew him because, as we know, she's a harsh bitch", then I can't even find words.

tl;dr: A picture of Celestia because I like her and she needs more love.

Celestia definitely needs more love.

You know, the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that Celestia is an extremely tragic character. Like The Doctor, she constantly has to endure the deaths of those closest to her. But unlike The Doctor, she does not oversee just a few individuals. She oversees an entire nation. Generations die out in the blink of an eye for her, and she just has to deal with it. She's a prisoner of her own ivory tower, she just wants to be accepted as a normal pony; but she feels trapped and crushed by he fact that she is and forever will be known as "Princess." Add to this fact that she spent a thousand years living in guilt for the (necessary) banishment of her own sister. You see, this is the reason I want them to expand on her story. Not just because she's my favorite (though that obviously biases my opinion), but because she has the potential to be an incredibly deep, thought-out character. Unfortunately, it looks like that will never come to bear fruit. But who knows? Just getting her to sing was a major step forwards.

I really agree 100%, I think her backstory would make for some absolutely amazing episodes and stories.

Her singing scene was actually my fave part of that episode, but not just because she sang, but because the cinematographie in total was just absolutely brilliant.

I used to dislike Celestia because I did interpret some of the things in the show as her either being lazy or a bit too harsh, but after seeing some comics and reading a bit of reasoning from fans, the things she has done make a lot of sense. So she went from being a liked character, to disliked, to then repected and liked again... though I still say Luna is best princess

Personally, I always though that Celestia could have curb-stomped Chrysalis(a character who I personally despise),however, unlike Chrysalis, she had to hold back to avoid collateral damage.

And yes, Im also sick of the whole Trollestia/Tyrantlestia/Etc. thing.

~RoboRolled Apr 17, 2013 New member

I agree that she's a great character like any other and that the Trollestia thing got old fast, but I *lurv* Molestia's blog.
Jus' sayin'.

PFT It just doesn't meet my kind of humour, glad if you like it though ^^

~RoboRolled Apr 21, 2013 New member

It's so silly, I can get why some people might blush or cringe at the ridiculous ones (like the one with...a toaster...O.o). I watched every Scary Movie as well as Robot Chicken, Pony.MOV, et cetera, so I have a developed taste for stupid shit XD. (my dad agrees that Scary Movie V was really stupid, lol)
I think I'm gonna play Call of Duty and troll the ever-loving crap out of 12 year old boys, stay outta mah shed, okay? (I do a good Fluttershy impression, and kids hate quiet people for some reason

)

Discord? A good guy? Not what I've seen on the show.
