I think the main reason why Twilight’s rise through the royal hierarchy still bothers me is that I don’t feel she ever controlled her destiny in the way her friends did theirs. Rainbow Dash worked hard to become a Wonderbolt, but Twilight was always going to rule Equestria - whether she wanted to or not.

Tirek was a villain, I expect him to take things from Twilight and not really care about how she feels. Celestia is someone Twilight is close to and who she looks up to and cares about, and who seems to care about her back. I expect her to actually care about how Twilight feels and what she wants, so it's worse when it seems like she doesn't.
Like, I know Celestia cares about Twilight, but it still kind of feels like she was treating her as a "Free retirement ticket" rather than a person.

@Sparklefan1234 Nah, he seemed to have different goals that time.
@BastementSparkle It makes sense that Celestia would think of Twilight as the best person to rule the country, but it also seems that the situation isn’t so urgent that Twilight couldn’t just say “no.”

I agree that Twilight's ascension felt forced because she never had a say in any of this. If making Twilight the next ruler of Equestria was Celestia's goal, shouldn't Twilight have been aware of this? And I don't know how learning and/or knowing that friendship is magic makes Twilight worthy of ruling Equestria.
