  1. They are two groups fromed by a false idea that the sisters would fight each other, that Celestia is evil or was in the wrong for what she did to Luna... despite the fact that it was not Luna banished but Nightmare Moon. Those that support the (N)LR saying that Celestia didn't do everything she could or banished Luna just so she could hold all the power and then lying to everyone to make her sister seem evil. At the very least it is those that somehow see the Equestrian Diarchy as flawed and needing to become a changed to something else. The whole 'republic' bit to somehow seeing how things currectly are as an 'empire.' ------------------------- Myself if I or a pony of mine were to be forced into a place where there was the Solar Empire or Lunar Republic (I never add the 'New' to Lunar Republic) I would say "No, I pick a third option." I would then join or create a group called the Guardians of Harmony and search out who is really behind all this nonsense as I know the sisters Celestia and Luna would never turn away from each other unless some malevolent force was manipulating them into conflict. I love Luna but I greatly respect Celestia and I know the ruler of the sun suffered greatly from the loss of her sister. Ruling for 1000 years with no one to understand you and be with you without seeing them grow old and die would be hard. To sadly yet hopefully look forward to her sisters return, that others could do what she could not... save her sister from the darkness that consumed her.

  3. I can tell you what would happen, Equestria Divided would come about: http://mlpforums.com...interest-check/ If the princesses were to disappear and the sun and moon were to continue to rise and fall... well it is more then likely that ponies would start to believe different things, diverging ideas that would tear Equestria apart. The 'former' Elements of Harmony being the driving force behind each of these factions. The only thing that surprises when it comes to this setting is how it would seem no one went looking for the princesses. Wouldn't ponies first order of business be to try and find the princesses, especially the heros of Equestria Twilight and friends? Though where I got this idea was from here: http://pooryorickda.deviantart.com/
  4. What are your feelings on your Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Twilight, Pinkie, and Fluttershy?
  5. Well I without a doubt wouldn't give her the good alignment, as she clearly is not the type to help anyone but herself and does not follow after the good side of the alignment system. Trixie is not evil in the D&D point of view, as I doubt any pony ever could be, yet she is also clearly not good.
  6. Mythos Gray (Main Setting)
  7. This I will agree with completely and I can also agree with many on here even, yes, those against Trixie. What I am against is when people try to make Trixie and other MLP villains the 'victims', as in truth it was only a matter of time before Trixie's lies and boosts bite her in the flank... which it did, hard. She learned what happens when she exaggerates what she can do and lies, realizing what she did was wrong.Also I actually like Trixie, she is a good character and I hope she develops in a positive way. -------------------------------------- It seems many, counting Trixie and perhaps some fans on here, don't realize that to outright lie about what you can do during a performance is not needed. Sure stage magicians will say 'they will cut a person in half' but they then do so (even though it is an effect/trick). Yet if you noticed they don't say "I have done this" as in "I have defeated the dragon of Smoking Mountains" when they cannot or have not... at least not the good ones. Every good performer knows that it is better to take that which is true and 'spice it up' so that it is more exciting and entertaining instead of making things up. Trixie did not need to make exaggerations, the 'boost', that she defeated a creature she clearly knew nothing about. Which brings up another point, a good entertainer does their research. If Trixie knew anything about an Ursa Major, and also an Ursa Miner, she would have realized she was making an impossible boost that she could never back up if called to do so... thus she was foalish and even a bit stupid. Another thing is her pride and arrogance, not helped by her insistence of being called "The Great and Powerful" and that she was the best unicorn in Equestria. She should have realized somepony would called her out one that, especially when she makes the challenges (yes she challenges those in the audience). She says the almost exact words of “Anything you can do I can do better” and I am sorry but many have enough pride or reason that they cannot let such words go. What makes it worse is Trixie technically didn't actually follow through with her challenge, never showing she was better at what the ponies could do and instead humiliating them using tricks unrelated to what they did. Trixie did not show she was better at using a rope then Applejack, but instead used her magic to tie her up... an easy trick for most unicorns. She did not proves she had more skill and style then Rainbow Dash but instead took the rainbow with her magic and spun up Rainbow Dash like one would with wrappings. She did not prove she was a better fashion and making dresses, on the fly without all the tools needed no less, but instead gave Rarity a bad hair day.
  8. But wouldn't that simply be the creating of the laws of Equestria, with as time goes on might change or adapt over the years?
  9. Well I admit I don't understand a constitutional monarchy completely, thinking of how the currect govermental system for England is... and I have seen too often fans wanting to take power from the princesses and make sure it isn't a true monarchy.
  10. Why does it have to be a constitutional monarchy? It's a small annoyance for me that some insist that a ruler should not in full control as what is wrong with Celestia and Luna being completely in charge? Why couldn't they bring order to Equestria themselves, while perhaps giving ponies responsibility and duties to help bring everything together as the sisters cannot be everywhere. What need is there for a constitution when you have rulers that would not abuse their power and create laws that are fair for all. Ponies would have their rights, and they would be provided for and protected while at the same time shown how to lead their own lives. Ponies respect Celestia and at the most simple of requests they would do anything for their princesses, one does not need to create checks and balances. Sure there can be a Equestria council, where po0nies can voice their concerns and bring forward that which needs to be done. Celestia would likely even sit back and let her subjects figure things out while still speaking when she feels it is needed or requested.
  11. The rulership is a Diarchy, literally, and nothing more or less. The govermental system is that of a monarchy with two equal rulers that are the best rulers Equestria could have. Admittingly Luna had fallen into darkness for a while, a dark spell or magic changing her into the evil Nightmare Moon, but after being cleansed and the darkness being removed from her. In truth if you have good, benevolent, immortal rulers that love and care about their subjects... you can have no better system of goverment then a monarchy. Celestia is no tyrant, and she did what she needed to so taht her subjects would remain safe. Eternal night would not be a good thing, as Equestria would grow cold and everything would slowly die.
  12. Stardream -The Seer-
  13. Actually I blame Discord for Luna's fall from grace, where she would get to the point she was willing to use or another used dark magic on her to make herself stronger... yet this dark spell took over he body and turned her into Nightmare Moon. Nightmare Moon is not Luna, but instead a force that took Luna over.
  14. Mythos Gray - The Infiltrator-
  15. In this comic yes every night, or at least many nights I agree completely with what you are saying Yet it isn't exactly quite true the wording, especually since she is over 2000 years old. Celestia is wiser and more knowledgeable then any other pony in Equestria, even if her mind is 'normal'
  16. As said by the one above, Celestia was not fighting Luna. She was fighting Nightmare Moon. There is a big difference, unless you want to suggest Luna was more then happy to kill everyone off with eternal night. No sun = no heat, no light, and no life (after some time has pasted that is).
  17. Ha, ha, ha Sorry but by those words you have doomed yourself. Seriously, who on this site would be even willing to even consider giving up their love of MLP:FiM
  18. Discord is a reality warper of a high quality (there is a reason reality warpers are considered broken and OP) able to with a snap of his fingers remove a ponies ability to fly and use magic, and teleport and disappear at will and just by touching a pony corrupt them (mind control and mind rape). My view on Celestia is that she is the most skilled and most powerful of the sisters because of her being a 1000+ years ahead of her sister but for a number of reasons doesn't show this power (perhaps having to raise the sun AND the moon (plus stars, exc) probably was a bit draining. In addition with great power comes great responsibility (yes, yes I know Spiderman quote), meaning that while Celestia could fix many if not most of the problem her subjects face she doesn't. She wants her subject to believe in themselves and to realize they are strong enough and smart enough to fix their own problems, she simply nudges them in the right directions. Yet Luna would be no pushover, especually after making up for her power loss in the 1 season pilot and was actually stronger then Celestia as Nightmare Moon... which would explain why Celestia was unable to stop NNM without the help of the Elements of Harmony (which would not have worked correctly because of the fact the friendship involved was broken). This would also explain why Celestia was missing, more likely then not NNM defeated Celestia 'off screen' and it was only after Twilight and friends defeated NNM that Celestia appearred. In Summary: Elements of Harmony are able to defeat Nightmare Moon and Discord while Celestia could not, while Celestia and Luna have more power (more importantly more experiance and skill) then any single pony in Equestria... though Twilight with time could become more powerful. I doubt Twilight has any idea just how much power she holds inside herself nor what her true potental is (though I think Celestia does know).
  19. Yes it was a wonderful comic and I am glad you were one of the ones to write a response.Here are some other comics I like
  20. My dearest Twilight Every morning I wake up to raise the sun for all my subjects. I visit my people and try to lighten the mood. But it is as if they could only see me as their ruler. Every evening I switch with my dear sister Luna. For this, I am most grateful. But we are hardly ever awake at the same time. Sometimes I worry even you fear me. -Princess Celestia I found these words on a picture
  21. It shouldn't be suprising though as when fans of the show have a pony they really like, they don't like that pony to be shown negitively. It is annoyingly common for the Luna fans to try and make Celestia the villian, and this is coming from a Luna fan. Princess Luna is my favorite princes and yet I have much respect for Celestia. ------------------------ This is how I consider what happened over 1000 years ago, and yes there is a reason it is told like a creation story of a sorts, and I am planning on making this view of what happened a fanfiction. The only part that I have 'made up' so to speak is the bit about the Celestia and Luna's parents: "Once, long ago. Long before the princess ever ruled Equestria, it is said that our race was created by two beings... the first alicorns. Later they would gain the titles of King and Queen of Equestria, but at this time they simply wanted children of their own. As such, using their great powers they created the first of each kind of pony. For life in the clouds they created the pegusas, those that would in the future actually learn to control the elements that played such a part in their lives. For life on the ground they make the earth ponies, who would as time went on learn how to bring life and growth to the land. Then there where unicorns, the only ones that could directly tap into the energy that naturally surrounded the land, that would be given the responsibilities of being leaders. It took time for these three groups to learn how to work together, and there was even conflict... it is said it was not until after the King and Queen past on and the Princesses come to rule that each of the ponies truely learned to work as one. Which brings us to fact that while the King and Queen had in a since created for themselve children they were not content. They wanted children the why others did and hoped for the day that they would gain such. Which they did in time, with first Celestia being born and then her sister Luna though history does not speak of how many years apart they are. It would seem though something happened as there was a time another ruled between the time of the King and Queen to the time when the Princesses ruled. A time where a entity of unrest and disharmony gained control of Equestria, one that tore apart the bonds that had been formed during the rule of the King and Queen. Discord, as was his name, turned friends and family against each other. Caused confusion and even manipulated the ponies to start wars with those that where not ponies. It is said he did all this because he found it funny, it caused him to laugh to see that under his care everything could unravel by the seams. The princesses realized they would not be able to fight him without aid, and while history is silent on what had happened to the King and Queen it was clear they must not have been in a position to aid their daughters against Discord. Interestingly enough there is reason to believe that Discord was most fond of oldest sister, that though he was a being of chaos even he could recognize beauty. The sisters went in search of an ancient power said to only be able to be controlled by the bonds of friendship... the Elements of Harmony. Celestia and Luna, with the Elements of Harmony, faced Discord... yet Discord had a plan, as he would do so over a thousand years later with six young mares, where he worked to turn the sisters against each other to play upon weakness of their hearts. He failed to turn them against each other, yet it would seem that he may have managed to to plant seeds of doubt in the heart of the youngest. That though he was bound in stone he would help bring about his goal of turning the sisters against each other. Some time passed, and the chaos was replaced with order and harmony. Life returned to the land as did it's beauty. Each of the sisters took on a duty, Celestia took on the duty of the day while the youngest Luna took on the duties of the night. There was peace, and ponies lived in happiness... yet all was not well. The seeds had been planted by Discord, they just needed to grow and with the older sister Princess Celestia growning so busy with her royal duties as well as the fact that ponies played during the day while sleeping during the night... the youngest sister Princess Luna begin to feel alone. Unhappiness grow in Princess Luna's which she hide from her sister who seemed so busy, unhappiness grew into jealousy and anger. Luna begin to believe that her sister and her subjects did not care about her, that they thought she was weaker then her sister. What happened at this time is unknown but it would seem that Princess Luna looked for a way of making herself more powerful, of finding a way for the ponies of Equestria to have to see her night. By this the time Princess Celestia realized what had happened it was too late, and she found that she had lost her sister... that in her place was a mare of darkness calling herself Nightmare Moon. Princess Celestia tried to bring her sister back, to take her from the dark shell she saw her in but she failed and because she was either not strong enough to, or was unable to bring herself to do so, defeat Nightmare Moon. She went to the only power she know that could help her... the Elements of Harmony. Yet they did not work the way they should, as the bond Celestia had shared with her sister was broken... but she was still able to get them to work partly and with the Elements of Harmony she was able to banish Nightmare Moon to the moon itself. To save Equestria from endless darkness and the suffering that would come from it, she gave up her only friend and beloved sister. Such sacrifice cost much and became of the lose of her sister Princess Celestia had need to take on burden of taking care of both the day and the night until she could find the one that would be able to bring back her sister. Towards the end of one thousand years Princess Celestia found her sister's savior through that of a little filly... one who's talent was magic itself. She took this filly as her student so that she could be prepared for the part so would play in Equestria's history, and it would seem Celestia and her student became very close. Yet after this filly was grown into a young mare Yet in the place of the frightening Nightmare Moon... was that of a scared and confused alicorn. The sister and other half of Celestia had been recovered and all because of the heroes of Equestria. At long last the sisters where together again and their joy was full."
  22. Sighs, yes that is true and yet the jokes are flat for the shear fact they are not true... then there is the fact that there are those that honestly see Celestia as a troll and annoyingly enough think her being a troll is a good thing.
  23. Now before I begin I would just want to say this: what I will write below is simply a counter what you have say... to point out the errors of what your post. It is nothing more and nothing less (I am saying this because my post could be considered 'strong' by some but that is because I feel strongly about the subject).------------------------------------------------------------ The thousand year banishment: Who might I ask can say that she had any other choice in the matter, especually since Celestia was using the Elements of Harmony without being connected in friendship with her sister. To be honest I am impressed she was able to get them to work at all, as the Elements of Harmony are not supposed to work if there isn't harmony between the wielders of the Elements. Making Twilight believe she had huge punishment: are you talking about when Twilight used the Want It Need It spell and created chaos in Ponyville? Celestia had the right to be upset, for her to find out her own student would use such a spell and think so little of her as to believe her mentor be mad at her for not having a friendship letter. Making all the mane six believe they had huge punishments: when did Celestia do this, which episode? Making Spike put effort into sending away scrolls when as we saw could easily come get them her self: Did you actually just say that? Celestia is a the Ruler of the Day, one who with her sister rules all of Equestria! Do you honestly think she would able able to personally pick up even a 4th of her student's letters? Lastly having the strongest wings in all equestria yet she still gets guards to carry her everywhere: Who says she have the strongest wings in Equestria? That and there is protocol that needs to be followed with her being the princess. Do you honestly think her guards would allow her to fly everywhere by herself, to take the effort needed to fly on her own two wings? You have seen how ponies treat her, they would be most likely appalled at the very idea of their monarch doing such? She has all the aspects of a troll: Hmm, lets think for a moment on what a troll is. A troll is one who says or does that which would upset or anger others, making a 'joke' at others expense. A real troll is never positive, as they cause grief or make others upset and then laugh at the trouble they have caused. Sorry but she is not a troll, she doesn't have any of the aspects of being a troll, she is far too nice for such actions. In reality Discord is around 10 times the troll Celestia could ever be.
  24. Actually I joined at least part so I could praise of your post, as it is a wonder counter to the fan ideas of Trollestia, and The Tyrant
