“Now watch, dearest Student. Watch as the world burns.”

“Prepare for an eternity of swampass!”

“I’m sorry for scaring you like this, Twilight. But you wanted to know how I truly feel. What, in truth, I really think every moment. Know this, Twilight, and take heed: I am the being who moves the sun which lights your world, who if I so chose, could burn away all traces of you where you stand with no more difficulty than blinking. The one who, with a single step, could shatter mountains, who could split the very continent you stand upon in half. The one, who if I so chose, could wipe away everything and everyone in the entire world with the searing power of the sun. And most of all? No one would be able to stop me…  
…and that is what I most fear, my faithful student. If I were to allow myself to lose control for even a moment, I could destroy everything I knew, and everyone I love. It scares me every day, Twilight. That is why I cherish every moment I spend with you and anypony else, no matter the faults any one of you might have. You, and everypony else, is my reminder that I have something precious to me, even in the most terrible states of pain, suffering, and despair I might face. I restrain myself, never lose focus and face that fear every day…so that I may enjoy the company of every one of you, the ponies whom I love.”

Judging by her posture and expression, I don’t think Solar Flare bears Twilight any ill will.

“What’s wrong Twilight? Aren’t you happy to see me?”

Oh my gosh!!

Like a day without the dawn,like a ray void of the sun, like a storm that brings no calm, I’m most complete yet so undone.

mfw these comments:
 

“Dearest Student do you fear me in this form?”

A good name for her could be Red Giant.

I am loving the quotes in this comments section.

“You know, I could reduce you to ash with the merest thought, but I find myself curious. So, faithful student? What will you do now?”

^at worst, she’d probably just fuck off & go on a sabbatical for a few years

I can see her finally losing her composure, but for different reasons than Luna did.
 
I like to think Celestia is above that, though. No matter how horrible her life might actually be or how much she just wants to torch those fucking nobles and revel in their screams, she will always remain in control.

And suddenly the urge to see a (grim)dark Princess Celestia in the show is rising.

Shhh, it’s better this way

“You own me everything. I owe you nothing.”

Twilight: Back the fuck up you are literally burning me.

Its scary
 
Her eyes almost look like she’s pleading or sorry
