Celestia, you are such a troll. :rainbowlaugh:

"I would love to have a long, graceful and flowing mane like Celestia’s! Maybe someday…”

Just wait, Twi, won't be long. (Depends on what "many moons" is)

"We would fight over something valuable to both of us, though I can’t quite remember what…”

“No Luna, it’s my rubber duckie… you get your own…”

Way to answer your own question in your sleep, Celly.

(mostly due to everyone wandering around with huge mullets due to all the salons being closed)

Guilty there. Finally got mine cut like two days ago after 'trimming' the top of my head but not being able to do the sides or back properly.

Got a laugh outta me. Nice job. :twilightsmile:

“We’re not talking right now, ever since she said the Black Midnight cake I specially baked for her made her sick.” Celestia shook her head sadly. “I added an extra cup of milk to make sure it wasn’t too dry… how was I to know she was lactose intolerant? She never tells me anything …”

Sisterhood at its finest :rainbowlaugh:

Glad you enjoyed it, and as for the hair... sounds like a plan reaches for mower :trollestia:

They love each other. That's what really counts. :twilightsheepish:

:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:, Oh this is so funny, I just love it when things don't go to plan with Princess Twilight.

10297253
Glad it provoked a chuckle or two. :twilightsmile:

Nice job, siblings rly be like that. And the slight ooc with Celesta made it all the funnier. :rainbowlaugh:

10297294
Thanks. And yes, to be funnier sometimes character quirks can be a bit exaggerated. This is also true in the show. :twistnerd:

This was golden-ly hilarious. Have an upvote!

10297431
Much appreciated, and thanks for reading! :pinkiehappy:

“I added an extra cup of milk to make sure it wasn’t too dry… how was I to know she was lactose intolerant? She never tells me anything…”

Why do I get the feeling Luna has told her this for everyday of their lives (sans banishment), and it still just hasn't sunk into Celestia's head yet? :rainbowlaugh:

But that far-flung hope was for the future.

A little more than three more seasons of TV episodes, specifically. :raritywink:

So lactaid milk would be popular in equestria or at least get Luna's attention.

mostly due to everyone wandering around with huge mullets due to all the salons being closed

I can certainly relate. At this rate I'll end up looking like a footballer from a 1970s England squad by the time they reopen.

Avoided a very cliched way this story could have gone, and helped show the competence and grace e that makes Celestia a ruler of Equestria. I really do like where this fic went, and her's to another order of magnitude more likes for it.

Congratulations on the masterpiece, Knew it was possible since From Beyond The Stone.

Aren't families great? And yes, strange how some words can have meaningful resonance at a later date... :scootangel:


10297693
Who knows. Almond milk is also a possibility... :moustache:



10297700 If they're opening cinemas and bars soon, hopefully hairdressers won't be too far off. It's either that, or let the birds roost in my mophead for the summer... :twilightoops:


10297815
Thanks for reading both stories, and the high praise. Also, fingers crossed... :yay:

I was hoping Celestia would just roll with the "buzzcut on one side of the head" look because it's fashionable right now in Manehattan or something. This just feels a little deus ex-y.

"...Oh. Oh, dear," said Celestia, more with sympathy than disappointment. "Well, I suppose I can try one of those short manecuts that I'm seeing everywhere. My long mane is so stuffy during the summer months, and something of a hassle after bathing." She sat back down in the chair. "Could you blend it for me and maybe cut the rest so the difference isn't so large? I'll be still."

10297905
Ah, but that would've interfered with canon, where this fic is set. Also, Celestia without her trademark long, flowing mane? Whatever would her subjects think? :pinkiegasp:

10297915

You mean "wouldn't enforce the status quo for the next episode"? I see your point... even though months can pass between episodes.

10297921
Time is an unusual thing in the MLP universe. The episodes are weekly, but who knows how much time elapses? :trixieshiftright:

BTW, that does sound a good idea for another fic though... a usually austere pony gets a dramatic new look, and has to deal with the reaction. If I don't write it, I'm sure someone else will. :duck:

I’m slightly saddened that the picture has no real bearing on the story.

If the marehairdressers in Equestria were shut as long as the ones here, it might very well have carried more relevance... :raritywink:

Lactose intolerance isn't an allergy, it'll only give you gas, to diahrea depending on how severe you have it.

10298270
In any case, they don't sound like very nice symptoms to have... :pinkiesick: But thanks for the heads-up, I've now changed the text slightly. Nothing wrong with being factual... :rainbowdetermined2:

I want know what a black midnight cake is, and more importantly, where I can find one.

10298448
I don't know, but I think I may know someone who does... :pinkiehappy:

10298452
Right, I'm thinking dark chocolate, espresso and a very, *very* small piece of ultradense matter on top to bend the light just so.

A 95% chance that getting within viewing distance leads to your entirebody being condensed to the size of a pea, but the critics say it's worth it.

Well the one who survived does, and the others have yet to issue a statement either way.

10298474
Im curious as to who managed to survive, cause they clearly deserve a raise

The cover art reminds me of The Lu where James Hetfield says "I am the Table!"

Celestia's such a troll! :trollestia::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

Whew! I read the comments before reading the story, and I almost expected your rewrite was that Celestia gave Luna the runs. :twilightoops::rainbowwild::pinkiesick:

(maybe we can get that story from Luna's perspective when Twilight gets drafted to groom Luna's wings or something :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:)

Nope, only changed the ‘allergy’ line. :coolphoto: darn this double post :twilightangry2:

Trollestia at her finest
