From HRH High Beams, RE: Letter 96
Dear Anon,
Please find enclosed an enchanted tablet along with an apology note. I would like you to deliver this to the colt or filly mentioned in the letter sent to me. I would normally entrust this to Twilight but I suspect she might get distracted with the enchantments again and forget to actually pass it on.
Since I know you'll be curious, the tablet is a somewhat more expensive magic item available to ponies which allows the user to visualize media that they otherwise would not be able to, if they lose their sight. The sand will raise itself into an image that a pony can explore with either the frog of their hooves, or our noses. No, the sand will not go flying off when said nose gets used.
This isn't the first time either I or Ms. Velvet have had to give a secondary gift to make up for one of Twilight's.
Your friend,
Celestia
To my most faithful student, Twilight Sparkle,
While your intent was correct and it is sweet of you to want to share one of your gifts and passions with another pony, the point of 'treating everyone equally' describes treating them with the same measure of respect, kindness, generosity, and willingness to acknowledge their status as equal to yours. It does not mean you cannot or should not acknowledge difficulties or differences, merely that they are not lesser for them. Remember, it is never wrong to be considerate when you can be, especially when giving gifts. Perhaps you might discuss this with your friend, Rarity?
Your loving mentor,
Princess Celestia
Translated from Equestrian Standard Braille
To my dear little pony,
I'd like to apologize on behalf of my student. She means well but doesn't think things through very well. I have included a little 'part two' of her gift, so that you may enjoy it in the spirit it was given. Simply place the tablet smooth-side down against an open book or paper. Words will be raised either in standard Equestrian or Braille (there's a switch on the side), and pictures will be translated to a physical representation along the surface of the rough side.
I'm sorry it wasn't there by your birthday, my little pony.
A friend.

Awwwww, I cannot get enough of this characterization of Celestia. It's just too good for this world.
9954422
Aww, thank you!
And then Anon spent far too long playing with it himself and making the sand take on all sorts of inappropriate shapes.
Why did Celestia sign it 'a friend'? She starts off the letter apologizing for her student, it's pretty obvious from that who the letter is from.
Hot damn, Celestia's on point. First she protects Twilight from the law, then she protects her from any moms.
She really is Equestria's national mother.
Awwwwww, that was too cute.
If I haven't already lost it, my "man card" would be given one point closer to removal.
9954441
maybe Twi might learn easier with a little less protection and a little more consequences. Pain is a 'GREAT' teacher after all
Can someone put this on a t-shirt? Or a flag?
OR A BUILDING?!
PLEASE?
Seriously. Put this in local and national broadcasts, broadcast in speech and in writing (a huge card will do) for at least 3 full minutes, every hour, on the hour. I don't care what you have to interrupt. Put it on the radio. Put it on the Internet - we have several massive systems intended to deliver ads all over the place, use it to deliver this. For fuck's sake.
If I have to suffer one more argument about how women are no different to men - spoken perfectly seriously, and not in the spirit of the above - I'll shove a full-sized pony down someone's throat. IN ONE GO. And not an Equestrian breed, either.

It's one of those things that the foal is supposed to figure out when they're older, but not right away.

To be fair, Twilight really needs some psychiatric help, but we keep running out of therapists. You'll recall Tia did call Twilight's mom on her though.
That was a nice gift

This. I cannot agree more.

Kinda hard to be a therapist when you have to deal with such purple bundle of happiness and joy.
By happiness and joy I mean issues, traumas, psychopathic will to do that which should not be done by any sane mind, way more power than needed to do so, important enough (you can't go higher, actually) friends to preclude forced stay in an institution and the worst, an actually nice filly that just wants to be good to others behind all that.
I hope Anon truly realizes that and doesn't give up on book purple

Oh, you were there for the camel visit.
All hail the great thoughtful heart of the Sun Princess!
9954439
If she signed herself than it looks officially like a letter to keep quiet.

The difference between equity, and equality.
The former is giving each what they need to succeed, the other is giving everyone the same regardless of whether it's enough for some to do so.
9954822
When people start throwing around the word Equity I tend to wander off. It’s not a term I like because it means not treating everyone equally kindly, but how you think each individual should be treated. And that means if you don’t like something about them, you can justify poorer treatment.

I made this only as a joke

Why use a pony? An Adult Elephant would probably have a greater impact.
9954838
As noted in this story, sometimes treating everyone the same ISN'T kindness.
It can be feeding everyone the same bowl of soup that bloats one person, feeds another perfectly and slowly starves the third. Kindness cannot be blind.
I admit, I read "enchanted tablet" and had to remind myself that it wasn't made of plastic.
In any case, Celestia is a very good pony indeed. Nice one.
Oh wow, I think this is the first time Celestia put Anon's letter before Twilight's. This is getting interesting!
This fanfic made me fall in love with Celestia as a character. She is just so compassionate, understanding, helpful yet she is also mischievous and playful and just flat out awesome.
Celestia is simply just the best pony.
9955529
Awww! That's very high praise. Thank you so much.
Aww, celly showing why she's best pony.
9954865
They don't ship outside the US, sadly. But you're welcome to give them out, or wear one. ;)

Shush. I'm on a pony website, I wanted to be funny. >_>

For the record, I didn't think of the equity-vs-equality thing at all when I made that comment. I much more meant the fact that we're all different - and that it's wonderful that we are, and we should be enjoying the fact that we are, and not trying to bulldoze those differences for the sake of treating everyone equally. We should be celebrating those wonderful differences, you know?
There's been enough said about equality and equity. In a perfect world, we'd recognize that different parts of our lives have different needs and need different solutions. In a perfect world, we'd recognize that everyone is equally human and equally as unique, and therefore valuable as existences, but we'd help everyone as much as they need to be helped. But in a perfect world, we'd have all the time needed to consider every situation on a case-by-case basis and deliver swift resolutions at the same time.
Neither kindness nor justice should be naive, but there's so many of us that court proceedings already take years to reach resolutions - and it will only get worse, probably.
9954551
Yup, this is the mare Celestia groomed as her eventual successor, with full control over the Sun and the Moon.

In any more serious setting, I can imagine protests, political conspiracies, riots,
tears and bawlings...just to force Celestia to reconsider.9954022
Choices matter.

He said the Z-Word! Get to the bunkers!
9955529
Agreed, this is one of the VERY few Celestia representations that I absolutely adore. She’s compassionate, but not stuck up, or secretly evil.
Ps: with apology—> with an apology
9964070
Fixed and thank you!

Well, there's a reason this Celly decided her former student wasn't really that bad of a pony and has reached out to Sunset in an attempt to reconcile.
Really, Sunbutt Jr.'s only real problem is that she needs to
stop using her power of having basic empathy for evillearn the Magic of Friendship.Aww, Celery is so sweet!
9972723
Why thank you!
Celestia is most empathetic horse!
