YAY! Celestia episode! I'm down for it as long as we get to see more of our favorite Princess of the Sun!
Wow, way to make Celestia feel old...
OMG GIDDY CELESTIA IS SOOO CUTE!!! EEEEEEEEEEE!!!
At first I tilted my head at the idea of Celestia never being in a play even as a child... but then I remember that being a Princess she probably had many other duties that deprived her of the chance to experience such a thing even as a child... kind of makes me feel sorry for her in that case...
Now that I think about it...
Twilight, you're metaphorically shoving your hoof waaaay down your throat right now...
OH NO, NOT BIG BERTHA!
Starlight, don't give the fandom more excuses to throw a fit.
Wow, Murphy's Law is going to come down on you girls HARD.
Well well well, a bit of a continuity nod to the Journal of The Royal Sisters... I like it!
Celestia's ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE outshines even Luna! And it's hilarious!
Aaaaand Celestia can't act.... oooooh boy...
Am I the only one who thinks this kind of cringe comedy works perfectly? This is just too hilarious!!
Twilight freaking out as usual.... AJ is being the only sane one here.
Celestia just tugged at Twilight's heartstrings... this is gonna be painful to watch.... MUST KEEP WATCHING!!
Where the heck did Pinkie get a giant marshmallow?!
OOOOOH CELESTIA IS BRINGING SO MUCH CRINGE, I LOVE IT!
And Spike being the snarkiest one here just makes it better!
Y'see Celestia, this is why you're never invited to play charades...
Twilight, Starlight, you might want to have a little "talk" with Trixie about those fireworks after all of this...
....welp, Twilight's getting banished to the moon.... or the sun....
...and AJ is standing behind hair with a giant "I TOLD YOU SO" sign.
RD? Not the best time to be proud of yourself...
Oh sure, shove Spike on stage to take the heat, thanks guys.
Okay, this little moment between Celestia and Twilight is genuinely sweet...
Celestia: Taking command of the situation like a BOSS!
....and she's a surprisingly good motivational speaker!
I get the feeling the hecklers assumed this was a comedy...
Yay! More development for Fluttershy!
Oh Celestia, you TROLL! HAHAHAHA!!
Well, this episode was relatively amusing. I give it a 7.5 out of 10.
Is it weird to say that this episode just aired on my mom's birthday?
Also, Lyra appears to no longer be the only one to sit like a human.
Which is where this episode lost when WHEN I READ THE PREVIEW!
Celestia isn't just a figure head princess... she's an actual diplomat and politician, she has to actually interact with the elite and other heads of state. Being able to act and do the political dance is VITAL, in particular since she was doing double shifts! Not to mention Celestia's had to wear different personas with different people a LOT in her thousands of years alive!
Audience Alienating premise.
