>being surprised by the twilight thing

guys like for the entire show celestia has been grooming twilight politically for leadership
>write me letters about friendship
>write me letters of how you understand how people interact with each other
>almost always takes the lead
>celestia gives them her greatest enemy as a plaything as their final test, to see if they can make someone whose ways were literally set in stone change via what she taught / learned from her friends

i mean seriously how could you have not seen this coming

>luna raises the moon with magic
>celestia raises the sun with magic

>twilight controls magic

she's going to end up the most powerful being in the land.
alternate theory: celestia knows twilight has immense power, and has her off in the boonies learning how to be a good person, and the friendship letters were celestias version of a sanity check, because if someone with that much power were to go full darklord. RIP

Well ze main problem is if you make Twilight an Alicorn permanently, then she's pretty much done being a main character of the show, because how does one properly write slice of life episodes for someone like that? I'd easily imagine it'd be politics and castle paperwork all the time for her at that point. The best case scenario I can think of (should this indeed happen) is they pretty much have to make a new series after this (aka generation skip to G4.5 or so), with new characters to replace the Mane 6.

Thread is on spoiler-lockdown at this point. XD
No new episode this week, but considered, we can rewatch certain ones this weekend...anyone? XD

We'll have to see. I got to see if I can make time to watch a live performance, and got a chapter to read, and also make sure an upcoming social event has the business cards that I supposedly order a couple weeks back. But to make it simple, Saturday evening can work.
