Having missed the Crystalling for the foal Flurry Heart, Discord requests, and is granted, a nice cup of tea with Princess Celestia to discuss it.

The encloudening has you!

when pegasi move clouds there generally a place to move them to. All the clouds in the Crystalling were a solid sheet

7087865 and normally the sun can evaporate clouds pretty fuckin' fast but apparently not here :D


7087864 clouds intensify

You are doing God's work, my child.

7087892 Big ups, blessed J-man.

Revenge is terrible! :rainbowlaugh: The ending killed me! You, sir, have made my day, hooves down!

7087952 I'm a ma'am, and glad you liked the story!

That ending... I'd give you a big thumbs up if you could see it, so here have one of these instead.:moustache:

Yes.

...

That is all.

7087873 Considering how the Crystal Empire looks outside the dome, it doesn't actually appear to have much sun hit there at all.

7089431 in addition, please note the Comedy and Random tags :D

7089439 Thought you were being more serious with that comment. :trollestia:

7089518 I'm never serious if I can help it :raritywink:

I liked this a lot mainly because it was rainbow who caused it. Yeah it was supposed to be a joke because of the curtain thing but yeah all of what discord called celestia out on was important and well known enough, so for the element of loyalty to see it and get discord to help her basically call tia out on using her friend twi who she is basically a knight towards to tell Tia to cut her manipulative shit out feels right

They say at the beginning that the weather is wild up north, just like the Everfree. I don't think there was any curse on those clouds, I just think Celly's out of shape. I mean, it took her and Luna working together to beat Sombra, and we've never seen her beat any baddy on her own, have we?

Seriously?

You really should rewatch the show and think about what you've said :trollestia:

She did defeat Nightmare Moon on her own.

And before you say "the Elements did it":
Wielding all six Elements of Harmony alone is certainly not something anypony can pull off.
And that AFTER she has been hit by a beam, strong enough to blast solid stone, directly into her heart and falling down hundreds of feet on a stone floor.

You know, even though this is supposed to be a comedy, this story made me feel sad instead.

I myself do think, too, that Celestia should have been able to easily cast that storm away, but let's not forget that she and Luna still held off a WHOLE FREAKING BLIZZARD all by themselves.
And they did so long enough for the others to find a solution to repair the Crystal Heart.
That's a feat we havent seen any other creature on the show pull off. Not even Discord has ever done something like that, let alone Rainbow Dash.
How is it, that people blame Celestia for her help here? It puzzles me...

Yes, I know, this story isn't meant seriously, but still, the underlying statement is "Celestia, you are so pathetic for not immediately fixing this and therefore you get punished".
C'mon, she works her plot off every single day for all her subjects (and beyond) and makes a lot of sacrifices. And on top of that, she did so for more than a thousand years, while being kind and honest all the time.

Yet in this story Celestia gets blamed, ridiculed and punished with "imprisonment" and humiliation.
And of all creatures, it's Discord and Rainbow Dash taking the moral high ground and casting judgement on her? Two of the worst and laziest people in Equestria (aside from real villains, that is)?
Yeah, I'm hyperbolizing, but it's still very hypocritical what they are doing.

What saddens me the most, is that this story is from the same author who wrote "Paper Tigers", a story that I liked a lot, because it's pretty much the opposite of this story.

This is just my opinion, of course.
And just for saying it: I openly admit that I am Celestia-biased.

I like the thought, that if Discord and Rainbow Dash would really do something like this, the former would spend the next few months as lawn ornament and the latter would get a new job as cleaner of the Wonderbolt-latrines.
Directly after Celestia immediately and easily teleported herself out of the "clouded" tea room, that is :trollestia:

Wielding all six Elements of Harmony alone is certainly not something anypony can pull off.
And that AFTER she has been hit by a beam, strong enough to blast solid stone, directly into her heart and falling down hundreds of feet on a stone floor.

That is true. However, the point of this fiction is that Celestia's out of practice in combat, or possibly has never been that good at combat. Wielding the Elements of Harmony seems to have very little to do with one's combat prowess. Celestia's solo-wielding of the EoH proves that she has a pure heart and ably represents the six elements of harmony, certainly. But it doesn't prove she's a capable warrior, the way say, defeating Nightmare Moon on her own without the Elements of Harmony would have.
