Kumquat123 0 June 1, 2014 Share June 1, 2014 Does anyone else believe/like the idea of a benevolent Tyrantlestia? As in, a Tyrantlestia who truly cares for her subjects, does not kill/torture all the time, and is not heartless, but nonetheless engages in censorship, harsher laws, and the occasional propaganda? I myself could see the idea in canon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malinter 3,064 June 1, 2014 Share June 1, 2014 (edited) Isn't that Celestia is by default. We all ready know she keeps information secret from the masses like NMM being real, the secret of Discord's statue (aka its really him ) , The fate of the Crystal Empire, The Tree of Harmony. Also her edict forbading ponies entering the Everfree.

GreyScholar 1,584 June 1, 2014 Share June 1, 2014 (edited) Please, do not use the work tyrant. She does not fit the definition of tyrant: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrant Particularly the more modern definition... Isn't that Celestia is by default. We all ready know she keeps information secret from the masses like NMM being real, the secret of Discord's statue (aka its really him ) , The fate of the Crystal Empire, The Tree of Harmony. Also her edict forbading ponies entering the Everfree.Keeping in mind most of the abov take place a 1000 or more years in the past, at best falling to myth and legend and at worst forgotten completely as time passes.Two, would many believe her in many of the points above? Whether Discord, Nightmare Moon, or the Cyrstal Empire and King Sombra. More do most ponies need to know? Nightmare Moon felt into legend, Discord was believed to be trap forever and could be said to be just a statue, the Crutal Empire was believed lost. Also, it was not any laws that kept ponies from entering the Ecerfree Forest but superstition and fear Edited June 1, 2014 by EquestrianScholar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson Cross 7,532 June 2, 2014 Share June 2, 2014 Tyrantlestia sounds a lot like our Government if you ask me! Though "Benevolent Tyrant" seems to be a bit of an oxymoron. 1 Now with more added tea leaves!

HungryTroll 137 June 2, 2014 Share June 2, 2014 Though "Benevolent Tyrant" seems to be a bit of an oxymoron. Agree, I doubt that it's going to be called tyrant. And Celestia is not a tyrant, more like Imperor, but not a tyrant. Even if she fits a little to definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
