Dear Rainbow Dash,
I applaud you. You've given me more context than any letter I've received so far, even if my first and foremost recommendation is to pull your head out of the clouds and shove it in a dictionary so you know what the term "tenacity" means. I don't mind it being pretty much double the length, but you don't have to be so wordy. Twilight can help with that.
I still can't believe how much I can deduce from this letter. You went looking for pets with strong qualities, but ultimately decided on a pet with a can-do attitude. And it's a tortoise! For once, I finally understand mostly everything behind how you learned the lesson!
Everything except for how you got a can-do attitude from such a tepid creature. But given that Philomena lights candles for me at night without my asking, perhaps your new pet did something for you that mattered without your order.
Such an act, no matter the scale of the action, should be greatly appreciated. That's the sign of a pet that cares for you as much as you do to them. Or will do, in your case. Loyalty begets loyalty, Rainbow Dash.
Speaking of pets, Luna's looking for one. She's immensely jealous of my bird, so she's looking for one of her own.
Please pass this on to Fluttershy--I presume she is the one who facilitated your pet adoption. Luna is looking for a Corvus raven, a bird of the stars. It has a wingspan roughly the size of three ponies head to flank, and black feathers with white dots interspersed to mimic the night sky. It even has its own rebirth cycle by bursting from its chest in a violent fashion and--
Wait, wrong page. It actually rises from the shadow it casts upon death. But seriously, that other rebirth was morbid. What even--
Oh. Wow, that thing is ugly. You don't want to see this... or hear about it, so I'll wrap this up. Just pass along that information about the bird and see if Fluttershy knows anything. If not, ask Twilight. She'll have a copy of "Nightcrawlers: Creatures that Creep, Crawl, and Live Under Starry Skies." It's page 35.
Do not read page 34.
Sincerely,
Princess Celestia
Evening, Luna. What brings you in here besides that distasteful Trot Topics magazine?
Something I need to see? Oh, this should be rich. Did the paparazzi blow up my arse again? Because I swear to the gods, it is NOT that huge!
...that's a giant pile of gems. With Sapphire Shores sitting on them, dressed in enough gems to be an hors d'oeuvre for a dragon.
"This pile of gems isn't altered. It's actually a donation from an overly doting fan." Oh, so that's what's going on.
Well, looks like Rarity and I have a different discussion now. Luna, tell the Dogs the cafe date's cancelled.

That was a pleasant and funny letter to read. I guess when somepony writes something meaningful to Celestia, she will give a proper response to it.
... Now I can't stop thinking about what the creature on page 34 was. Kind of sounds like an Xenomorph but I'm not 100% sure...
I'm guessing Aliens, more specificity the chestburster
...and in the end, if we must believe the comics, Luna ends up with a common (if extremely adorable) opossum.
5661795 Well you should believe them. Because you know, officially licensed material = canon.

"I was still a bit sour at her over the whole moon rock throwing thing, so I thought to exercise some small payback with a small prank.
Imagine my surprise when that backfired on me. Now I don't know what to do to prank her. She used to be bugged out by all sorts of nasty things; now she's not. Ponyfeathers.
By the way, she does know what's in it. I told her once I realized how much she loved it. Didn't even phase her. Drank her own while she was on the moon.
She remarked that the grimace on my face was priceless.
Also, my quill is a bit quirky. Records my words as I dictate them when I start, and doesn't stop until I cancel the spell, usually after sending the letter.
But Luna and/or Pinkie tend to interrupt as I'm writing or about to send it off, so a few words from half of a conversation leak in. Yes, I'm aware of them, and still send the letter anyway. They don't carry any national secrets, so there's no harm done.
...wait, did a secret leak out? Is that what you're telling me? What did I say?!"
~Celestia
I sense a R34 reference and aliens reference.
5662085 But it's not an argument. The definition of canon is "the officially licensed works published by or on the behalf of the content creator". It's up to us to fix/fillin/ignore the resulting plotholes.
Quoth the raven - I'ma fuck you up.
Page 34. Rule 34?
5662270 That statement is why head canons exist. Canon contradictions exist in everything. Even the Holy Bible. Why do you think their are like ten thousand protestant variations? People picking and choosing from the canon what their headcanon is. Think of the canon like a cheeze and crackers tray to pick and choose from.
5662248 I don't get it
Rule 34. Alien chestbuster. Genitalia everywhere.
Funny how Celly only kinda understand most of the stuff RD talk about.
That Corvus raven is interesting. I assume that you named it for the constellation? I went googling to find out if that was an actual mythological creature or just an awesome one you came up with, and I'm assuming you came up with it yourself. I'd like to point out that Corvus is actually the latin name for raven, and thus part of the scientific name for regular ravens. I really like the idea of a night pheonix though, that's really freaking cool!
What!? What the smeg is going on with Rarity? I swear this makes no sense.
5662657 Rule 34 is an internet expression for porn.
5662657 Rule 34 of the internet. If it exists someone somewhere will have posted some kind of porn about it...
5662213 This was recently clarified. The official line is that the comics adhere as closely to canon as possible, but they are not directly canon themselves. The comic writers do not communicate directly with the show writers, and as far as they know the show writers do not read the comics.
5662213
The comic has already clashed with the series on at least one point I know of before, so one or the other has to be invalidated. Since the show came first, the show is canon as far as I, and most others, are concerned. From what I've seen of the fandom, we just adopt ideas into the FANON from the comics that we collectively seem to enjoy, as a sort of communal headcanon.
Problem a lot of you seem to have is realizing that fanon and headcanon are not show-canon, which is secondary most canon, next to Word of Faust, regardless of her employment status (and to a lesser extent, the show writers).
5663353 ...never type shrek there... I did once... It was horrible
5665368 Yeah, I understand that. Different fandom but still. Really wish Brain Bleach was real sometimes.
5665498 Ok...i still wonder if they are going to make an unsee thing... Like in men in black

I see what you did there
5662657 And yes, there's porn with the Xenomorphs, as well. Imagine if H.R. Geiger (their designer) drew a busty anthro Chrysalis.
Rainbow Dash is best pony, and this is best chapter!
Buuut luna already has a pet: she has her ferret Tiberius. (or Tibbles, for short.)
Not that the dogs wouldn't run away screaming if they see Rarity.
5723548
Tibbers is an Opossum not a Ferret.
he is Marsupial not Mustelidae
And since he is comics only so far its hard to tell when in the timeline Luna would have gotten him anyways.
5963642 In the Infinite Time Loops, he only exists part of the time: When James Tiberius "Tibbers" Kirk is fused into or guest anchoring the loop.
That Corvus Raven sounds cool.

It's actually just a crow. The death part probably is just the myth of seeing three of them.(A group of crows is called a death) Also, they are not ugly!!!
7530954 Murder, it's called a murder.

Just one thing: Those Bible variations all say the same thing and are translated from the same manuscripts, merely using different phrasing and style.
5662547
I don't pick from cheese and crackers trays.
I pile them all onto one bit and then pour them into my mouth.
I have a cracker problem.
As shown from my previous comments, I'm also an alcoholic.
And some things that I'm not saying on a public forum. PM me if you really wanna know.
No one’s mentioning the fact that Rarity donated all the gems she stole last chapter to Sapphire Shores?
Alrighty then.

You really think that? That's adorable.
