Torment, hurt feelings, cruel, cruel memes, and a needed friend.
Celestia's torment.
By Storiesatrandom
.
Celestia stood alone in the rain, crying about a suspicion that no pony loved her. In the eyes of many, she was a tyrant, a molester, and a troll. Most hurtful of all she was none of these things, just horribly misjudged by misunderstandings, overshadowed by a collection of background characters. She was even less popular than her own sister, but that does not justify Celestia being declared a Tyrant. So… Celestia has a tendency to be humorous, and played only an innocent prank on the cakes, that does not call for being declares a troll. Most ponies were unsure where the "Molestia" nonsense came from, but the fan-fictions and the G-mod videos may be to blame. Feeling she did not deserve to live Celestia freed her tears.
Watching from afar, Twilight, Trixie, Luna, and Storiesatrandom -often nick-named S.A.R. to shorten the name- they were saddened to see depression befall upon the Princess, a normally happy and well natured Princess, crying like a little filly with her feelings hurt.
"It's clear I have to fix this, I'm the only one who understands what's wrong. I mean, I am from the human world, and have a better understanding of things human related, like memes." S.A.R. insightfully declared.
The others nodded without a protest. S.A.R. walked up to Celestia, who still only cried. "Hey, your highness,” S.A.R. seemed to conjure an umbrella, covering herself and Celestia, “why in the rain? I know since you're a goddess there's no worry for you to catch mortal diseases, but it's not good for your mane and coat to get wet, not dignified of you. ‘Ya know, how's about we take you inside?"
Celestia looked at S.A.R, face drenched with tears and rain. "The internet hates me, Storiesatrandom, they view me as a crude natured Tyrant with sexual issues and interests on my own subjects. I just wanted to be loved. It was not enough. I needed a hug, but no one would give me one. All the other ponies are lucky… I'm no Tyrant, I'm no Sexual deviant, I'm no troll, I'm just a lonely pony overshadowed by ‘cuter’ background characters."
"Look, nobody hates you. Look, I ain't a fan of those negative memes myself, but, listen, there are people who do like you, and know that crap ain't one bit true. Listen, those ‘Memes,’ they're just stupid memes that help make certain fics like those Solar Empire and Lunar Republic fics, or those Gmod videos where Molestia can be seen. When Trollestia, well, acts Trollestia, everyone, even fans of those stupid memes know they're nothing but offensive jokes. The purpose for Tyrant Celestia is to make Lunar republic fics edgier and exciting, they won't be as fun, if any fun at all if BOTH leaders of both parties are kind, benevolent rulers."
"But Storiesatrandom, I end up dead in fics like that."
"Again, Lunar Republic fics, they wouldn't be considered good or popular if you get off the hook with only a slap on the wrist." Celestia sighed. "And that Trollestia nonsense? Well, you kinda unintentionally lent a helping hand with that, I mean, giving Twilight only 2 tickets, not knowing about her other friends in Ticket Master. That prank you played on the Cakes on that episode your pet Phonix showed up. I mean, we all know you were just being a fun ruler on that, the cakes did too, but the thing is, most rulers are not known to have a funny bone, and everyone expected you to be serious when meeting the public. I mean, it's somewhat great you’re not like traditional leaders, but be careful how you execute the punch line." Celestia sighed once more, heavily.
"Then, there’s that Molestia crap. Personally, I don't know where that came from, how it formed, or the episode that was responsible for the idea considering that it's intended audience is kids. Though, I think the fic "Princess Molestia" and certain Gmod videos may be the culvert. And that "Ask Molestia" tumbler isn't helping either! Look, that meme serves as a sexual pleasure device to add dispense and sexual pleasure. What I'm trying to say is, none of those memes should not be taken seriously! They're jokes, plot devices, trollpastas, and, just negaverse crap! Look, I once ended up being taken the wrong way as well, but someone told me what I'm telling you: don't take those memes seriously, they're just that, stupid memes. You are loved. Granted, most of the time, it's portrayed differently most of the time, but, you do have fans who realize you as a kind, benevolent ruler, not a tyrannical, sexual nutcase with a crude sense of humor. You are treated with respect and dignity if you ignore the backlash. I mean, there's Twilestia, those fics where you get along mostly well with Luna, like sisters. In fact, in the Molestia fic, despite what occurred in it, you got off easily and were forgiven, cause Molestia was like Luna's Nightmare Moon… just a bit more rape-y. So what do ‘ya say? Can ‘ya stop crying over some stupid memes? Cause, some people just have a funny way to show appreciation."
"But, none of them find me cute." Celestia moodily whispered.
"Cute? Now, I can explain that. You see, cuteness is reserve to child-like characters and exuberant, outgoing personalities, like your student Twilight, and other ponies. But you, you have something better: you have a divine beauty that many would kill just to get. Your beyond Cuteness, you're a divine entity that has the beauty that rivals supermodels at a long shot! How is that not hug worthy?"
Celestia took strong recollection of those wise, wise words. Celestia did not realize that she is loved! Just differently than how others are loved. Celestia also realized that as far as cartoon horses go, she is attractive. Celestia never realized this before. She suddenly smiled, the rain to unexpectedly stopped.
"Wow, and I thought only Pegisi control the-" Celestia grabbed and hugged S.A.R. to the heartfelt happiness of Twilight, Luna, and even the normally strict-natured Trixie.
"Thank you Storiesatrandom. You lifted a heavy cloud on me. Is there anything I could do for you?"
"Not trying to break me in half would be a good start."
Celestia blushed, and let him go.
"Sorry. But I needed that talk from you, it has made me better about this internet stuff."
"Sure, happy to help Celestia, now, can I ask for another favor?"
"Yes?"
"A coupon for the Ponyville spa? Cause I think I needed a massage. May I request you go a bit easier on the hugs, next time?"
Celestia awkwardly, yet gratefully, nodded.
End.

This was a nice story. It would have been better had the spelling errors not been there and stretched out a bit more.
232883 sorry if it's not perfected to your tastes, i promise this will be adjusted by my short story editor.
Interesting thing you have here, but it feels like S.A.R. is rambling. It's also littered with spelling and grammatical errors that only add to a sense this was a bit rushed. Slow down, maybe, and take a critical look at your work before you hit 'submit'.
All that aside, This is a good look at Celestia in a world without the fourth wall.
232908 define rambling?
232913 Maybe rambling isn't the word I'm looking for, but it felt like every thought that crossed S.A.R.'s mind would spill out with little feedback from the princess verbally or narratively. It may be the way he/she works, I can't say. It's just the way it felt to me. I know I read quickly as well, and might have given him/her a tone you did not mean because of this, so take my comment as you will.
Amazing. Simply amazing.
232946 thanks, you saved this story from being fully red.
jesus man! why is it getting so many thumbs down?
232954 No problem. And I hate how people view her.
While there are some grammar and formatting issues, those do not take away from what is needing to be said. I am called Celestia's Paladin because when I became a brony I felt that no one was willing to stand up for her, and I felt that someone has to. I became her Sword and Shield, so I do find it nice for a fellow brony to stand up for her as well.
*unzips jacket and lays it over Celestia* Come on Celestia, Ambrosia and Storm are waiting as well.
In the Name of Her Serene Majesty,
Celestia's Paladin: For Honor and Duty, For the Sun, Moon, Earth, and Sky
232980 thanks, well, i mostly did it because cause the image on the summery inspired me, i at first used it on a blog i made here, but it inspired me to do this, but also, i felt people need to realise to not take those dumb memes seriously, they're just crude nature plot-divices, right?
It's a good idea for a story but it isn't executed well.
If I were you, I'd make it longer and maybe a little about Celestia's reactions on how the Internet views her and how she tried to deal with the situation before breaking down into tears.
233001 hmm, maybe i could ask my short story editor that, or if he can't maybe find another editor that can add abit more. sorry if it seems underdelelamented.

Not just plot devices but also blatant violations of canon. I've read the reasons why (except for Molestia *washes mouth out with soap*) they exist, and canon can debunk all of them. The problem with memes is that people think of them as canon.
233009
A story editor is supposed to fix up the grammar, spelling and point out some of the story consistencies and loopholes.
You're supposed to write the story, take your time and keep on writing.
233019 sorry if you deemed me lazy, but sometimes thinking up ideas ain't easy most of the time.
Cele seems a bit out of character but good story nether the less. I think Trollestia and etc are funny but I defiantly don't think of it as Cele's true nature, shes better then that!
233281 understandable. this is an awesome story discussing the problem with those memes, yet it's get an awful alot of thumbs-down.
233291 oh, Well I liked it!
232966
I've been trying to think of something to say... Good Effort, run it through a filter before posting, It's short but if that's your thing I can't rightfully blame you (I've read fantastic short-fics). I'm giving you a thumb up for the attempt.
That is All.
233365 thanks.
My love.... Destroyed by internet memes....
260537 your not the only one upseted by this.
260545 No, I just like to state how much I love her!
260597 oy fey
. sorry, i'm alittle annoyed and upset right now from a series of criticisums from a new story i just wrote, it was created in honor of Derpy's sudden banishment from canon, though it's much differnet, it honors what Derpy means to people none the less.
233291 A little piece of advice regarding attitude?
When you make a story, you should believe that it's the best story possible. You should believe that it will single-handedly make the fandom a better place, raise the standard of writing, and make Fluttershy say "yay" in an adorable voice.
But when being criticized, you have to agree with your worst critics. Any flaws that people can find in your story are either valid or are the results of their misinterpreting the work. In either case, you can improve future stories and/or chapters to be better and easier to understand.
On topic, I liked this. There are too many grammatical problems, but the core message of the story was poignant and necessary.
You look like a promising author. I'm going to browse through your fics over the next few days and tell you what I think of them. You seem worth it.
365679 thanks, this story was made to make people more aware on how those anti-celestias are just memes. it's only purpose is just to be a missellious story with a deep message, if i intended it to be more "stronger" in plot or at least gave a prior setting, i would've done that, but again, it was intended to send a message, not become a kick-ass story. (but it's good on it's own terms). my problem is that i have a child-like sense of pride due to being somewhat of a kid at heart, and it doesn't help i'm mildly autistic, while i am still able to use a computer at all or talk normally, it prevents me to improove greatly on several things, and, clearly, spelling, grammer, and most other mistakes are some of them. i am capable to admit i'm not perfect, and i try hard to make people aware that they shouldn't exspect 100% perfect fics, but i guess that sometimes i don't get the same users. goes to show that MLP:FIM is more popular enough to have even more then an estermated amount.
I scratch my head at such an original concept being so poorly executed. I'm quite tempted to steal this concept and try to write something similar, but I know I shouldn't, haha. There's quite a few things that need to be addressed before hitting the submit button. If this is your first story here, trust me, the commenters will be very harsh at first. It was the same for me when I first got here, I thought this site was full of hostile elitists, but they really do just wanna see better stuff from you:
1. Edit. Lack of editing is lazy. I get picked at all the time for spelling and grammar, and I have perhaps the highest watcher count on this site. It really is a big deal that just irks people. It pulls them out of the story and makes them remember that they're reading.
2. It's hard, in such a short span, to wonder if you are flirting with the fourth wall or not. S.A.R. is admittedly a self-insert, which is fine (even I've done that), I'm just not sure what sort of purpose an OC serves if any recognizable pony would've done just fine. Heck, even Pinkie Pie could've been a cheery umbrella-holding mare in this (and I despise Pinkie Pie). "S.A.R." is just kind'a silly to say aloud. It doesn't have the same ring as "AJ" or anything.
3. You've an excellent concept. I think you should develop it further and perhaps post up a more defined and well thought-out version of this. There's a spark of creativity here, it just needs to be unearthed so it can shine!
