Because I DESPERATELY Need a Break · 9:22pm Mar 5th, 2017

Well, work has been hell, life has been hell, and I've been busy doing a billion other things, so I'm close to the point of meltdown.

So you're all going to suffer along with me.

It was a normal day in Canterlot. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, somepony was evading taxes, the Flower Trio over in Ponyville were on the verge of a meltdown because the store ran out of their favorite brand of shampoo, the now-deposed Chrysalis was somewhere in the world as opposed to with the hippie commune the changeling hive had become, and seated on her balcony, Princess Celestia sipped her favorite orange pekoe tea. It was her favorite because her other favorites, blackberry vanilla, dragonfruit coriander, and zap apple mango were currently out at the store.

Life, it seemed, was perfect.

Seated across from her, Luna drank from her own beverage of choice, Foalger’s coffee, while she idly watched her pet possum, Tiberius, scarf down numerous strawberries on the table. “It’s been, what, two, maybe three days we’ve gone without something stupid happening in the kingdom, sister?”

“There’s that word,” Celestia said, her eyes briefly narrowing.

“What word?”

Kingdom. We’ve never had a king, and I choose not to be a queen. So why are we the Kingdom of Equestria? Why not the Principality of Equestria? And don’t get me started on why Principality and not Princessipality. You’d think the makers of the Ox Board dictionary would clarify that since my first request two centuries ago, but noooooooooooooooo….”

Luna rolled her eyes. “Shocking, certes, but I was referring more to the usual shenanigans that happen with our kin—”

“Ahem.”

“—er, realm. In any case, it’s been at least a few days since nothing bad has happened, and I wonder if this means that we are headed for an easy week—”


The slamming open of the doors to Celestia’s balcony was the first sign that something was amiss.

Coming much sooner than you'd probably want.

So this story is all about Celestia venting? Count me in. Also the real world sucks and if we could go live in Equestria I think many people would be lining up for miles.

Let's just say that it's based on a snarky comment I made to Blue Bastard last night.

This should be fun. Better to suffer in good company!
