“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.” - Patrick Rothfuss

Twilight Sparkle has always pushed her boundaries.

This time it may have backfired, leaving Luna with many questions for Celestia.

Foremost?

"Why?!"


Featured 07/15/2021 - 07/18/2021!

Now with an audio reading by The Mystery Fluttershy Fan!

:facehoof: And this is why you test this sort of thing with medical resuscitation handy. Dang it, Tia.

i remember this from way back! the excellent dry humor and awkward end reveal more than made up for just how much i hate what the originating phrase being a thing says about human-world (thanks for highlighting that by the way)

Defensively, Celestia's wings flared. "I ensured there were plenty of fluids!"

Luna raised an eyebrow again.

"Not like that!"

i don't know why i have such a weakness for these types of jokes, but i do, and this one was my favorite

Well, it's certainly a unique take on a popular premise. I like it.

The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead twilight or a live discord." - princess celestia

To be fair, that is probably the best way to go out.

What were her last words? "Oh yes more!"

Here lies Twilight Sparkle death by snu snu

At least you can say Twilight went out with a bang! :trollestia:

Okay I'll leave now....

Uh, well, that was...

Okay, who's going to explain this to Spike?

"Is there a necromancer in the castle?"

"Seventy-three hours," came the answer.

Mother of God...

Though if anyone can survive a seventy-three hours of marathon sex, it doesn't surprise me that it's Celestia.

We all know this will end in shenanigans and Discord laughing his ass off. Possibly with Celestia having to embark in a quest to get her soul back or somesuch.

And then having to do it again because they did another marathon to celebrate the marriage :trollestia:

At least Twilight died happy. Maybe too happy.

And Shining, Cadence, Starlight, Sunset, the other Elements, and pretty much everyone else Twi was close to.

Now someone pony needs to test Cadence's immortality. :raritywink: :pinkiecrazy:

:moustache: No way! Heck no!
:duck: She's gone Spike,,,
:moustache: Yea, But I'm not cleaning up after her mess, No way!
:trollestia: Not even with fire?
:moustache: Not even for a pile of gems
:trollestia: How about a giant shit pile of gems?
:moustache: and lots of ice cream
:duck: and therapy lots of therapy

What is the bet that Twilight is taking so long to come back because she is questioning the grim reaper’s ear cavities into bone meal

Where's the necromancy spells when you need them?

10902208
Shining Armor will be up for the task just need plenty of juice

I rarely upvote a story as it has to be something pretty unique and amazing to be worth it. This? This was certainly unique. Not so sure about the amazing part but certainly unique! At the very least it got me to laugh and for that, it deserves an upvote.

I am guessing she's not dead, she's just bothering death with endless questions. Or if she is dead then Death will revive her just to stop the incessiant questions!

I don’t know what I expected from the store but it wasn’t exactly that good job

In Memoriam, Edwin Edwards? He died less than a week ago.

10902539
Entirely coincidence, I assure you. (I actually didn't know he died until you mentioned it.)

Given the cover art I came in actually expecting a little grim reaper to show up, since I've read stories with Twilight speaking to literal death before. But this was rather amusing— got some good chuckles outta me.
And I agree with 10901840— when literally experimenting with death there needs to be medical assistance nearby. Twilight of all ponies should've known that. I betcha there was, but they all got tired after the 48-hour mark and figured, "Meh, she's good." And Twilight was probably uncomfortable having ponies come and take it in shifts— only so many should have the honor of witnessing two princesses doing the horizontal tango (at least in the waking world; my bet is Luna's seen that plenty of times...).

10901840
Twilight has failed as a scientist, Celestia has failed as a mentor, and both have failed as intelligent beings. :facehoof:

It would make an excellent second chapter to this one--ideally by Twilight resurrecting right as they are about to lower the coffin to the hole at the cemetery patch.:pinkiecrazy:

...

Or when she's already buried. :trollestia:

10903083
There is a MLP fan comic like this. Twilight asks the Princesses if they are immortals, they say no but explain how the idea got in ponies heads. A botched assassination failed to kill Celestia but made her appear dead, but she was buried before the poison wore off and had to dig her way out of the gave. Ponies witnessed her breach the surface.

I remember a fanfic posted here which had what I wrote happen to Celestia as a consequence of finally getting a nap ... and being confused with being dead.

Cue Luna, Twilight, Cadance and even Discord trying to get the throne while she is still inside the coffin, hearing it all.

Yup, as you heard it--the other princesses were competing for who gets the throne while Celestia was in the box. :rainbowlaugh:

There was a similar one--but it was a consequence of a prank war gone wrong ... hell, they may be one and the same and I forgot about the details! I know I read it back in 2017 ... now I'm sad 'cause I'd like to read it again. :pinkiesad2:

the horizontal tango

I have never heard it phrased like this and I am delighted that this combination of words exists.

10903216
Really? That expression has been around for a LONG time.

10903190
Thanks for the youtube embedded post, it was hilarious! :rainbowlaugh:

I just found the story I mentioned! Here it is!:pinkiehappy:

EPrincess Luna is dead. Again.
After starting the day by raising the Sun, Celestia was sure that nothing could possibly ruin her day. Unfortunately for her, something had happened to her sister. She really thought Luna would have learned after the last time.

I hope you enjoy it! :twilightsmile:

Edit: Nevermind, it isn't the one I remember, but it is still a funny one-shot.

Edit the second: Alrighty, I just found it! Tested and proved to be the right one!

Celestia is totally exhausted working hard day in day out, and eventually decides to use magic to get herself some much-needed rest. The spell she uses is a mite too powerful though, and isn't she in for a shock when she wakes up....

Ahh yes this is it, if I made mistakes this will correct them.

Perfect story title.

Oh that was priceless!!

Well...

...it WAS a wonderful way to go!

My money's on Discord making sure to keep Twi distracted by shiny experiments in ghostliness just to make Celly panic.
