They're not even trying. · 8:15pm Apr 2nd, 2016
So, I picked up and read through the Journal of the Two Sisters, mostly to try to decide for the final pass whether it should be Three Tribes or three tribes. I learned a couple things, one of which was that I'm overall not going to be matching their capitalization; it reads like they're saying Unicorn is to British, not unicorn is to human, but that doesn't work for me; I'll chalk it up to the gulf of time if I have to do so.
The second is that the Pink One is Eternal. Clearly, somewhere along the line, she made a Pinkie Promise to be the friend of the ponies. FOREVER. And it's a promise. FOREVER.
But finally, especially reading through the denouement post-Cutie Marking for the Sisters... Twilight, you need to understand that your crush has been longing after you since she was a teenager, and that your idol, Star Swirl, deliberately threw you under the bus... or more accurately, Celly's (not Celie! :( ) barrel. Probably to save his pelvis.
Quote from my conversation with my SO about this below. I may or may not ever use these, but... (doesn't work for my story/verse as is)
"Princess, I am so hot for the accuracy of our historical reenactment sex, but..."
"Call me Celly, dear, we're married. But?"
"Can I take this off?"
"The beard stays on Twilight. The beard. Stays. On."

"Oh, Faust, YES, teach me how they TALKED, teach me how they WALKED! Celestia, I want to be boned precisely like the 270s!"
"... You brought your bibliography, right? I'm not saying I was stoned out of my head that decade, but I'm not saying I wasn't, okay?"

"So, my room is yours now, my dear. Feel free to check out my catalog to see where our collections coincide, but I do so love reading books on top of you. With you. ... buck it, we're married, on top of you with you."
"Ee, cataloging!"
"That's it. Flag and show momma that sexy nerdery..."
Sometime later...
"Hey, Celestia, why is your biggest vibrator the same color as my horn? Ooh, maintenance logs... this is Sparkly Invader #235.68?"
"Discord made some things weird."
"It's got my cutie mark on the head."
"Let me demonstrate the use, dear. You need some... practicals."

... I am a Troublesome Beast, and I think I may be about to be sent to Tartarus.
