"May You Read Interesting Pony Stories" - Ancient Neighponese Saying/Curse

E

Females in the Equestria Girls universe have proportionally excessively long legs. For Principal Celestia this has become a matter of some concern. Perhaps a doctor's visit can help her find a solution.

I noticed that when I recently seen rainbow rocks and the first EQG Im like what the hell.

I love this... This is amazing I can't wait to read more! :pinkiegasp: :pinkiehappy:

5070778 Its okay fellow battle brother you dont have to suffer any longer from those... abominations called movies your safe now.

5070778 So... You didn't like it? (please don't give away spoilers)

210: Dr. Caballero, Gynecologist.

:twilightoops: That's an...interesting twist.

Suddenly a wide grin spread across the principal’s face. “Oh! Oooooooooh! What if I took a small group, maybe a half-dozen students and empowered them to handle some of the issues I normally deal with? I’d have to keep an eye on them, of course, and have them send me weekly reports of any important activity, but they could help reduce the workload, or at least the amount of time I need to run around chasing down problems. Yes… Yes! I could gather a group of trustworthy students and use them to help me maintain harmony in the school.”

:facehoof:

This idea needs further exploration. Not the Elements of Lazy Principal part, but the Long Legs Lestia part.

5071077 I liked the ending and plot and the 3 second part with octavia with a speaking role.

Whatever you set out to do with this, you didn't accomplish it. :/ I mean, this is pretty straightforward "Celestia's legs are too long", and I didn't find anything particularly comedic about it. If anything, it's a little depressing that she needs to take it easy.

Wait… where did 211 to 240 go? Where the heck is room 227?



Grimacing, Principal Celestia stared down at the small note her secretary had written her. Dr. Whooves, room 227, Canterlot General Hospital, 1:45pm. A time which was rapidly approaching as she continued to try to navigate the rat’s maze that was the hospital itself.

I can only guess. :twilightsmile:

I pretty sure the ending with the "Students of Harmony" was to be the punchline. And I wouldn't say it's too depressing, she has long legs, and was under stress. Already mostly cleared up that it wasn't super fatal, just someone overworked as of late.

But there was a lot of beating around the bush before getting to what I think was the punchline.

5071107 Oh... oh god... "Long Legs 'Lestia" sounds like a terrible porn name... Now I may need to write a story about Principal Celestia's secret sordid past as an adult film actress! :trollestia:

. o O (...As he went down on her 'Lestia wrapped her legs around his head twice...) :moustache:


5071348 Thanks for the comment even if you didn't enjoy it. I know humour is subjective and if anything this is pretty dark if you think about it too hard, not to mention bordering on slice of life instead. :pinkiehappy:


5071459 You and me both! :raritywink:

I will say, for a first fic, you're at least on the right track for more slice of life stuff. :B Though I believe you meant the first doctor on the list was an "Otolaryngologist."

5071502 Yup, that's exactly it. After the little stinger at the end of EQ2 I thought to myself 'how and why would the Mane 6 actually form up with new Twilight and take on roles like the elements of harmony we're used to, saving Equestria (Canterlot High) from the weekly or yearly bad guy. Then I came up with the most ridiculous reason I could think of. :rainbowlaugh:

5071522 You are correct good sir! I shall have toss in an edit.

Good job with the references to the actual pony world. I also have exceedingly long legs (and arms, and toes, and fingers) . . . I can't even touch my toes! :twilightblush:

This really speaks to me, yo~ :trollestia:

5071534
And then they lived happily ever after. Until we find out what Discord is in EQ world.:rainbowlaugh:

I'll give you props though, you REALLY thought this contrived reason through XP
Kudos.

Personally, I think her legs are a bit too short. Maybe doubling the size would make it look more proportionate.

Hey, congrats on your first posted ponyfic Stichwolf!

Anyway, I really enjoyed this story, a nice little premise with a good surprise at the end there. The only thing I would say is lacking in the story is a little bit of meat, the story ended almost as soon as I really got into it.

I bet Celestia could dunk with legs that long.

5071679 Thanks! :pinkiehappy:

... something, something, something, Space jam!...

5071654 I keep imagining Discord as the Shop Teacher. I'm sure he'd enjoy introducing high schoolers to power tools and such.

5071883
I read a fic once where he was a crazy janitor. But shop teacher sounds fun.
Though I could also see him as a physics teacher, who likes to bend the laws of physics XP

There's a fic here where he is Dr. D. I. S. Cord, guidance counselor and Twilight actually had a meeting with him!

And then they made love as Celestia's payment. :pinkiecrazy:

Seriously though, good job. And I LOVE that twist in the end.

5075057 Holy crap, that image! Is that fake or is it actually from Rainbow Rocks? Because if it is, given the standard height of a door is at its lowest 6.5 feet tall in England and up to 7 feet tall in the US, that means Principal Celestia must be over 7 feet tall in addition to having extraordinarily long legs!

Okay, new part of Principal Celestia's backstory: During her younger years Principal Celestia was forcibly drafted into her country's olympic women's basketball team. :rainbowlaugh:

5075667 Celestia shudders at her repressed memories every time she passes the gym, and Hoops doesn't quite understand why he keeps getting detention for no reason.

Sadly, it is only an edit (albeit a very good one) by Daniel Tepes Kraus, to (paraphrase) "more accurately portray the characters' size differences relative to their pony counterparts."

But yeah, Celestia as an amazon is a fun idea.

5071633 It would help to not be built like a noodle.
(Noodlism is a serious disease sweeping the nations. Symptoms include: Out of proportion arm and leg length, Giraffe-like necks, and an inability to reach anything below their waist without bending like a limp piece of linguini. I have been a victim now for 10 years, and it really is a pain having to ask short people to find and grab things from the bottom shelf because I can't see down there.)

But really, 6'2" and only 1'5" across, I look like someone took a taffy puller to me.

Though, I think Celestia should have noticed the excessively long legs sooner, I mean it takes me forever to find pants with a 36" inseam and 28" waist. Then again, women's sizing is just absurd, so it may have been more difficult to notice. Plus, her arms would be suffering the same lankiness. An arm is generally about the same length as a leg (I have 34" arms, to the fingertip, and shirts just don't come in that length without massive torsos).

In general, I think Celestia (and Luna, in a few years) suffers from Noodlism.:twistnerd:

as soon as i saw this story in the related window I thought "But do they go all the way up?"
*Reads chapter title*
Touche good sir.

His name is Dr Whooves...
He doesn't have hooves...
:trollestia:

5076680
Then nobody should explain it to you. If you don't get it, you probably shouldn't know, kiddo.

5080281
No, I did not. I could do that now as proof it was not me, if you would like. There's no reason for me to dislike your story. Heck, I didn't even dislike your comments. Because why would I care? I was being condescending, whatever reaction I got was deserved.

5076680 means she has nice legs.
generally EQG girls got some nice looking legs.

5076257 Who(oves) cares?

5080830

In that case, don't go around insulting people. I mean that as advice, people around here are pretty fucking petty. Still, enough insulting and they'll think you're an asshole and then everyone will start downvoting even if they like the story. Or if they haven't even read it. Try to be polite in public, and if you think someone's being rude when it's not obvious (not directly insulting you) then just ask if they are or not. Don't just immediately attack them over it. That'll get you a bad rep fast and it will stick permanently.

5071348 As depressing as being forced by facts, data, and empirical evidence to agree with you?

I loved the cute little nods to canon. :twilightsmile:

This story definitely amused me. :pinkiehappy:

Heh. At least Principal Celestia has a legitimate excuse. This amused me. Thank you for it. :twilightsmile:

This fic . . . so meta, so genius, I love it! :pinkiehappy:

And you, my friend, show great promise. I'll be watching you for sure . . . :raritywink:

Lol...she is the giraffe of people :rainbowlaugh:

5071459 Hell, at least they aren't in room 237. (shudders)

You'd get this if you've seen The Shining

Interesting story

5075952 I sort of know that feel, I'm 6' 8" tall and about two and a half feet at the shoulder. The only clothes that come even close to fitting me are fat person clothes, and even then they barely reach my waist. So glad I've stopped growing. Having to have all my clothes tailor made would be too fucking expensive.

As a Filipino... Americans are more or less 2 feet taller than me. I'm still 14, but I know an american younger than me yet still 1.5 feet taller.

5086314 Generally for shirts I go with the XXL for the length, but that puts the sleeves (of short-sleeve shirts even) at my elbows, just because the shoulders are nowhere near my shoulders.

Although, if you can find them, Tall-cut shirts (the ones that look like dresses) actually fit fairly normally).

For long sleeves though, every coat I own in XXXL, just so the sleeves reach my wrists. I can fit 3 people in my coat side by side.

5087222 I have to go five XLs to find clothes that fit me. It truly sucks, especially when the clothes that size are fifty dollar pieces of cardboard that disintegrate after about a month.

And thus, the Elements of the Student Council were born.
