Thanks a lot
Damn, need to get to writing pronto. There is so much to explore with the character.
Good read

The joke is on you! I’m always writing inside my head!

Me too, as well as taking notes 😒
There is just not enough time to sit down and give it all...

It’s getting it into the computer that’s the hard part.
This part was funny to me because I actually relate to Celestia here but for wholly different reasons. Like her, I find no comfort in the idea of marriage. It has no value in my eyes due to how much society smothered the luster out of it.

It’s understandable that everyone has different feelings on it. That’s what this story is about, after all.
Mortal relationships to an immortal are quite different when faced with their inevitable termination. Everyone copes in their own ways.
So throughout my couple of years on FiMFic, a few authors have stood out to me as exemplars of a particular niche: Scampy for mad gay and/or mad sad Wallflower, applejackofalltrades for sledgehammer-heavy feels, shortskirtsandexplosions for philosophical depth/abstract insanity, etc. And I think I’ve figured out where you fit into this list, the niche subgenre that you can always be counted on to deliver a pitch-perfect example of:
Celestiangst.
Your writing here has a real sense of poise. The eloquent and occasionally archaic language feels exceptionally ‘Celestia’, and almost mirrors the Princess herself by evoking a feeling of distance. A removal from reality, from being grounded. And yet, that very first paragraph makes her come across as quite terribly fallible, human even (or equine, I guess), and not in a pleasant way. She seems… petty, almost.
I must ask, what’s the significance of the struck-through sentences? They come across like repressed memories being forced back down, but the third-person perspective makes me doubt my interpretation here. It’s a great use of narrative voice, regardless.
There’s something about the contradiction here that kind of entrances me. About the clashing relationship between the mortal and the immortal, the comfort born from rejection, and the petty, shallow, treat-your-stallion-with-wealth-beyond-measure Princess clashing with the age-old, wise-beyond-words, tormented-by-her-past Princess. Lovely short piece.

I'm genuinely surprised by this -- you're the first person to tell me that you know me for this. Most people tell me that they know me for how I've written other characters or particular stories. Most of the latter aren't ones that deal with Celestia except as a secondary character.
Thoughts she does not want to acknowledge and is trying to repress, basically. Nagging, unwanted truths.
