A writer of various scribbles, I've recently become enamoured of Ponydom, and have done my limited best to write a few stories. I hope people enjoy them.

He really reminds me of Chancellor Palpatine from Star Wars, Idk why XD 😄
Here's hoping a toxic comment section won't ruin my enjoyment of Neighsay getting his just deserts. Probably tempted fate here really.
(Only real problem I have with this story, is Celestia using the phrased "Bucked up" Seems OOC for her, if you're asking me.) Still, nice job overall.
You’re right about wars being triggered by less such as Louie XIV’s signature on a manuscript that caused France to be ganged up on by the other powers of Europe in a war over the right to the Spanish throne.
So, this says there are only 2 views, meaning I'm the second to see it. Neat!
Anyway, this is a fix fic, and we know from a tweet from the voice actor that he will be back (I think I know which episode) so I don't think this would fit into canon, but frankly, that guy was a jerk and I'm okay with people giving him a hard time in stories. Heck, the fact that you had Celestia give him advice to improve himself is more than I would have done, I'm impressed.
Thanks for this story.
Edit:

He reminded me more of Dr. Strange, but given how racist the Empire was, I can see why you would make the comparison.
That’s one way to deal with a problem!
Nice explanation for how Canterlot's defense in the movie was so poor. "Glorious Miles," I see what you did there, good reference!
Honestly. This is something the fandom is way overthinking. As bad as Neighsay is, Hasbro is smarter than to make this into a raciest thing.
As I see it, his problem is zenophobia stemming from ponys being a herding species. And some of the students come from a predatory species. Even if that is changing, that won't undue millennia of ingrained racial memory.
Plus the fact that he isn't the finale villain should say something.
8824592
And that was a real damn shame.
Another fic where the author bitches at "mUh viLlAin" through a mouthpiece. I could say something snide involving lemmings, virtue-signalling, and lollygagging, but it'd be oldhat at this point.
Edit: 5/8 for making me comment. I'll admit I fell for the b8.
8824624
Not like anyone cares for your insults and opinions anyways.
8824630
Yet you were triggered enough to respond, soyboy. Save it for someone who's impressed by your bleating.
Edit: oh no! You down voted my comment! How will I ever recover!?
Seriously 'poor sap'...
...more like 'poor bastard' or 'unlucky motherf***er', that really suits Neighsay.
Honestly, Ember or Rutheford should've let Neighsay have it right then and there for insulting them the way he did. Just plain slug him and knock him to the ground.
One thing this episode did was challenge my belief that Celestia was all powerful, that all bow to her, that she was the boss with the final say. Great story you have here, you earned a thumbs up, but regarding the episode itself, it seems to make Celestia and the royals in general, less significant. Now I'm not going to go any further before my comment turns political....all I will say is it is saddening that the EEA has any power over HER school.
Loved how Celestia brought him in, told him straight up what his options were, and then laid bear just how much he screwed up!
When I seen the season premiere I was left wanting something of this to happen. Thank God for fanfiction authors.

lmao "soyboy" gotem
I think one-shots are good for you. You are an awesome writer, and reading your amazing stories only to see them dropped like Zecora's mic on Epic Pony Rap Battles of Equestria is...frustrating. Granted, I've been having serious problems the last few years as well. Unfortunately, getting serious aluminum poisoning, followed by a severe candida infection, does shit like that. (Been taking care of both, but it's an absolute slog.)
I've really been wanting to write on my MLP/D&D fanfic, but I just can't, and I hate it. So I understand. But if you've got the bug to write, do it! Just...maybe do shorter things?
8824833
It's a derogatory term for males who produce less testosterone than their age. Lurk moar, newgaf.
8824560
he can be back as a character but not as head of the EEA. Hell him beign fired would give him more villian fuel.
8824866
I know I just don't see it very often. You gave me a chuckle thanks.
8824878
If you found that funny, the origins of the word are a hoot. Hint, Kurt Cobain (yes, him) coined it.
Well, I can see this happening in canon. Also 3 stories with Neighsay and yet non of them has him as a robot pony controlled by Pinky and the Brain trying to take over equestria?
You can tag stories "Chancellor Neighsay" for characters. I saw a similar story that was tagged with his name.
This was a much needed fic.
8824592
The very concept of creating a fic to bitch on a fictional character for political reasons is toxic in itself.
Toxic always attract toxic.
I needed this, dude was at the top of his organization, he couldn't be this much of an ass if he wasn't backed by peers and benefactors of a similar mindset. Plus he's old, that means he was influenced by his predecessors and even those would lead to roots far too embedded into society/government to find or cleanse. Just look back to when Zecora was introduced, ignorance and superstition about her meant that education of fellow equinoids was already non-existent or neglected, that was already enough to raise eyebrows and question what else Equestrians are ignorant of.
8824679
I also think so. It tackles questions of political organization and influence better than the other one.
That said, I hate to say this, but Soron is half right. These stories themselves engage in political discussion, so we shouldn't be too surprised if they spark political discussions as well. Unfortunately, the political climate is pretty much altogether toxic right now, particularly online. Then again, that's precisely why we need these discussions. It's unfortunate that this takes away from the enjoyment of these stories, but as I see it, it's also hardly avoidable.
To quote the episode
Yeah, I don't think Celestia can use that claim
Also
And whose fault is that? Responsibility and blame go up the ladder.
8825182
In what world?
8825187
Hollywood, the Corporate world, the military, any executive branch, any institution,
8825194
Ideally, it should work that way. Fairly often, it doesn't.
8825202
Given that there are so many people blaming the executive staff of LucasFilms and Warner Brothers for how The Last Jedi and the DCEU turned out, I would have to say the system is working as it should.
8825205 Have any of those executives been fired or taken a pay cut, though? Backlash from the public doesn't automatically lead to real consequences for such people, since the public has no say in what happens within the company.
If a company suffers, employees lower down the ladder are often more likely to be laid off loooong before the top decision-makers take a pay cut.
8825205
Well, that's just one example. To give a different one: Relatively few people are blaming Benioff & Weiss for the crap we got in the last three Game of Thrones seasons though - although that number fortunately seems to be increasing.
However, as Raugos just pointed out, public opinion is a different matter from attribution of responsibility or blame within an organization's hierarchy anyway.
8825221
Yup.
8825221
But are the employees blamed?
You and 8825237 are both ignoring my word choice.
8825269
Sorry, I didn't realize you were engaging in mere ideology.
8825182 Actually it does. I did consider the fact that there were actual safety and discipline concerns, but that is not why Celestia jumped on him. Had he stuck to the entirely legitimate worry about a staff who weren't trained as teachers, and the resultant accident caused by truancy, Clelestia wouldn't have had a leg to stand on.
It was him tying the whole thing to his racist views and doing so in front of of foriegn heads of state that took it from a school matter to a political one, requiring a political response. Letting Twilight reopen the school right away was the only way to avoid destroying all the diplomatic work that had lead up to it.
Would it surprise you to find about that I agreed that the school needed to be closed? Or rather not opened until all the mane six had spent at least a month each helping out Cheerilee at Ponyville school, and Twilight herself had shadowed Celestia in her duties as the headmaster of CSGU for a similar time.
It's the same basic problem I have with Hogwarts. None of the teaching staff has any formal teaching credentials. As we've seen in Severus Snape, knowing your subject is no indicator of your ability to pass on that information, let alone do it in a manner that effectively conveys it to children. There are such things as teaching degrees for a reason.
As to your second point. Once again, I agree. Equestria's state of readiness to face any kind of conventional threat is abysmal. Superpowered villians, yes, they have heroes with artifacts, but any kind of conventional army would walk all over Equestria as long as they had a way to neutralise those same heroes.
In the years since Luna's return, this has happened twice, and both times, only a deus ex machina has saved them. Equestria does need to resurrect the EUP, and create a standing army. And I don't mean the mall-cops masquerading as the Royal Guard, or that overhyped stunt-flying team that pretends to be a military force, the Wonderbolts.
In the story, my head canon is that Shining Armour made a start on bringing up standards before he left to join Cadence in the Crystal Empire. And it was hard going as for centuries, the Royal Guard had been little more than security guards, and officer status a sinecure for young nobles who were no use at anything else. Celestia approved this plan, and believed it was being carried out. However, it had barely begun by the time of the Royal Wedding, which explains the lackluster response back then.
As soon as he left, a perfect example of that kind of useless armchair soldier was promeoted to Captain by the old system. Glorious Miles talked a good fight (a Miles Gloriousus), but that's all he could do. He paid lip service to Shining Armou's reforms, while not actually implementing any of them. Since his reports said all the right things, Celestia assumed that it was being taken care of. She was disabused of that fact when the Storm King took down Canterlot.
Now, in the afternmath, she scrambling to ensure Equestria has some kind of effective response to a military situation, but is nowhere near ready. It's why this diplomatic snafu is such a big deal.
Should she have taken a more personal interest? Yes she should. But whatever fanon says, she's never been a military oriented leader, so it's understandable that she'd leave it to the 'experts'.

Given that the Han Solo Anthology film looks like it will be a flop, Justice League was a Flop, BVS barely broke even, it's not ideology that blames goes up.
And then there the whole Mueller investigation, with almost everyone blaming Trump for Manifort's actions when Manifort was working with the Podesta brothers back in 2006. Trump is also blamed for every slip up of his cabinet, the actions of his son-in-law...
Need I go on?

EEA = Equestrian Education Association ;)
In other words, "we should totally befriend these guys who'll instantly try to murder us if we look at them wrong."
Ah, real classy standards there, Princess. You really do like to unconditionally befriend everything under your sun.
True Friendship™ indeed.
Yay spelling out why you don't mouth off in front of heads of state.

Harsh, technically you could look at any individual other than yourself in that bleak and lonely light. Celestia was just pointing an additional problem he caused by doing so in front of those with the power to react to the bigotry and bile he was trying to force on others, possibly in defense of their own subjects. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. See that first one is sometimes enough to get even reasonable people to jump to proactive measures in order to avoid the last one befalling them or those they are responsible for. (Fight or flight-ish) The problem is that this approach still causes the last one, as Celestia pointed out the consequences of war and conflict over the course of years.
Non-ponies are not instant blood murderers at the drop of a hat, but Neighsayer jumped the shark with provoking hostility. He basically tried to pull instant self-fulfilling prophecy on an international scale. Ya'know the kind jerks and bigots use to justify their preconceived notions of how the world works to themselves and everyone around them so as to get society to enable otherwise abhorrent behavior. "See that leader of the dragon nation that I just called a stupid uncontrollable monster to its face just attacked me, I was totally right to hate it and all members of its species and other non-ponies and you all should too."
In your little strawman rephrasing there you seem to be subscribing to that bleak "us vs. them" worldview youself, just looking for an excuse to dismiss other views on how the world could be.
2 nit picks.
1) Equestrian Education Agency (not authority)
2) Education Agencies are parts of the government (state government but government all the same)
