yep full daybreaker you really need to change the tags

Couple things.

No, she's not Daybreaker. Besides the fact that it's not the same design or personality, Daybreaker is supposed to be Celestia's equivalent of Nightmare Moon. It's heavily implied that Luna didn't become evil just to become evil. She was twisted, corrupted, and possessed by an entity, the titular Nightmare. So, logic would dictate that the same would apply to Celestia and Daybreaker. There is no entity here, so this is not Daybreaker (also, Daybreaker is already something else in this universe). You can have an evil Celestia without her being Daybreaker.

It's very, very early on, and far too soon for you to make a judgement of how evil the High Queen is. Save that for when you've actually seen what she's capable of.

And, finally, I'm not gonna bother with any pointless changes over semantics. Whether I call the Empress Celestia or Daybreaker (the latter of which sounds kinda silly, when you look at it. Empress Daybreaker. Sounds like a Power Rangers villain or something) won't make any difference to most people reading this.

Don't tell writers what they "really need" to do. It's rude.

ok i agree that i was rude im sorry for that im not going to delete my comment so this clear to people who read it after and yes its early days but from everything iv seen so far this Celestia is evil for allowing this to happen at all. it could be the case she has no say in this as a puppet for example her sister is held hostage i dont know all i meant was that this Celestia is evil (to the reader at this point with no other context)and to me evil Celestia = Daybreaker that how i see it

all i meant by that was using the daybreaker tag would make it clear that this Celestia is evil that could very well not be the case but from what iv seen so far it would make thing clear and also, "Daybreaker is already something else in this universe" when why not add the tag ???????

any way you are correct i was rude in what i commented, it was the first thing to come to mind after reading the chapter so i was my honest comment i guess im rude sorry about that i honestly believed untill the moment i read your response it was daybreaker
plus how am i to know that is not daybreaker ?? thank you for making that clear now

Not to mention that Daybreaker isn't even Celestia's actual counterpart, it's just what Starlight thought her counterpart might be.

"Daybreaker is already something else in this universe" when why not add the tag

Because that's misleading. There's a lot of things in this alternate universe that aren't quite the same as you'd maybe expect. To character tag Daybreaker would be... Well, it would give off an impression that is different from reality, is how I'll say it, so as to avoid spoilers.

True that you don't have context, but I urge you to have some patience and some trust. I guarantee that, if you give me some time and come at this with an open mind, I'll tell a story in such a way that you won't care what I call the Empress.

very well should we both edit our comment to take out daybreaker to not spoil it for other?

im going to keep reading
P.S its going to take a lot to not see this Celestia as evil with this prison/arena and what the guards get away with and the lack of food
"judge and country on how they treated their prisoners"

Editing of the comments is not necessary, no, though I appreciate the offer.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Quite the good chapter. I knew something was gonna happen there at the end. Hmm, Flash Sentry and Rarity. I wonder who else we'll see here.

NO NOT THE PONKIE

“As punishment for your crimes, Pinkamena Pie shall be put to death at once.”

Well now things are starting to get interesting also fuck you Empress Celestia

well there goes my idea that the two were under a trance to forget they past and really work for the Empress, to check out golden oak prison,

Interesting theory, but sadly incorrect. Like most things in the world, Empress Celestia has Golden Oak in the palm of her hand

Keep on theory crafting. I'm very interested to know what people think is gonna happen next

The death of Peach Cobbler was absolutely brutal, holy fuck I did not expect that.

Deeply intriguing world here. You've nailed the uncanny valley of just familiar enough to be truly disconcerting while still feeling true to the characters... mostly. That Celestia ain't right, I tell you what.

Eagerly looking forward to more. It is in the nature of Twilights to supplant Celestias, and the nature of Pinkies to defy expectations.

smiling through her hot, fat tears.

I love this sentence

"pray."

By Celestias juicy ass, amen

“As punishment for your crimes, Pinkamena Pie shall be put to death at once.”

Wha- I- huh!!?!

I guess it was pretty dumb of me to think Celestia would be the good guy when she allows all these atrocities, but you still had me going for a bit.

"Most magi discover their abilities in times of extreme stress."
Uh oh
"Thus why things are now quite a bit simpler"
UH oh
"As punisment for your crimes, Pinkamena Pie shall be put to death at once"
UH OOH
