Letters from an Irritated Princess

by Tired Old Man

Boasting is Bad, Buster

Twilight Sparkle,

Isn't your talent... magic? Like, just being really good at magic? I have to confirm this, because reading this report implies that you didn't want to use it at one point to help your friends.

Twilight, how often do you see a grounded Pegasus who put restraints on their wings just so they can't fly, or refuse to push a cloud for fear of a static shock? Do you see Earth ponies not doing... whatever it is they should be doing? How about Unicorns actually grasping a teacup in their hooves?

My point is you shouldn't be afraid to use your magic, even for trivial things. My mane would be a nightmare to brush if I didn't use magic, for example. I'm serious, I tried it without magic once. Scared near half the maids and guards in the castle that day.

Don't try it yourself. I don't want to hear about another Nightmane incident.

Speaking of incidents, I received a report earlier this evening about an Ursa Minor that appeared in Ponyville. I assume you handled that? Because if not, that means I'll have to come down there.

You don't want that to happen.

Love,

Princess Celestia

Luna, don't touch my hair.

Yes, I know we brushed each other's manes before, but you always put glitter in mine. You know how I hate gli--

I get to put ribbons in yours? Really?

...I'll think about it.

Where do you think the mountain Canterlot is built on came from?

[WorldWalker128]

This fic is now migrating from 'Tracked' to 'Favorites'.

[Spooky Moon]

5557764 why not all three that way you'll always know

[The Princess Rarity]

THE END OF THIS ONE WAS SO CUTE.

[King of Kings]

This has just gave me what I needed! (You may take that any way that you want)

[Maxes Altho]

5592361 Mark Hamill was perfect for that role

[DJPurple3]

Dear Princess Celestia:

If you seriously want me to use my magic, I could always use it to light your mane on fire

Your angry student, Twilight Sparkle.

5603213 kinda of strange that Luke Skywalker made the best Joker ever.

[Dragonsword35d]

5719927 I kinda doubt that. I mean, Alicorn of the sun and all. Has a pet Phoenix. Can she actually be lit on fire? I mean, magic or not, unless she's doing it herself (and even that falls under question), I kinda doubt she's all that flammable.

[Pinklestia]

Don't try it yourself. I don't want to hear about another Nightmane incident.

Classic!

5556987 Dammit. I thought I was original.

[DualKitsune]

......waaaaaiiiit a second!!!! Is that why Luna's mane sparkles???!!! Those aren't stars??

......but I can work with this.

[Daydream Novel]

Finally. I now know how her mane sparkles.

After just playing Portal and Portal 2 in the span of two weeks. I have begun to give Celestia GLaDOS's voice. Not sure if this is bad or the best thing ever.

[Maran]

Do you see Earth ponies not doing... whatever it is they should be doing?

Really? This joke might have been funny if it were written in the first season or two, but we know what earth ponies are capable of. Just look at Pinkie and Maud, for example.

TBH, the funniest parts are Celestia's lines to Luna, which have nothing to do with the main purpose of making fun of each episode. I know humor is subjective, but this just isn't doing it for me.

[Boulder]

But I want to tie ribbons in Luna's mane...& her tail !!

This is technically Season One. Celestia is pretty much our voice back then.

0:49 you know something is wrong when even harley quinn is giving the joker a "what the hell?" look

[Dashie04]

How often do you see a grounded Pegasus who put restraints on their wings just so they can't fly[?]

Velvet Remedy wishes she could differ.

I mean,Earth Ponies' connection with, well, the earth is not something you see many Earth Ponies actually actively using compared to unicorns using magic and Pegasi using their wings, because many of them are not really in that kind of occupation. Like, Octavia is a musician and the Cakes rung a bakery, for example. Pony society would fall apart and starve without Earth Ponies, obviously, but with the point Celestia was making, unicorns and pegasi are a much more casually observable example, I suppose
