Journal Of the Two Sisters
 
Written by Amy Keating Rogers (man I miss her) so it’s pretty legit.

@Darkest Lunar Flower  
What book?

@Philweasel  
This is beautiful, you read the book, in so proud. :,)

@Joshua  
I though so too, but in the Journal of the Two Sisters Luna states that they’re not immortal, just very long lived.
 
Funnily enough this is used to justify a pair of blank flanks in Celestia and Luna being made rulers. Despite the fact they’re that young by alicorn standards, they’ve still lived long enough to be considered adults by normal pony standards.
 
Celestia might have found a way to circumvent this though. As I noted, she’s ridiculously old (as word of god is that Luna didn’t age in her time as Nightmare Moon).

@Philweasel  
Either that, or she’s had a long night. If I remember correctly, in the show, the princesses look like they have achieved what all have failed to; eternal youth.

Aren’t movies sometimes $7 to $9? Like matinees and not-new movies? And then there are some movie theaters away from urban centers that bill themselves as “dollar theaters”, where a movie ticket is one dollar and they makey money from selling all the food and concessions.

“Sister, a large pirate airship appears to be attacking Canterlot. Shall we blast it from the sky?”
 
“Luna, the people in the audience paid at least a good $10 each to watch a 90-minute movie. Let them have their fun.”

I’m pretty sure the writers don’t actually hold a grudge against the princesses. I’d imagine in most of the cases where the princesses have been incapacitated the writers needed to prevent them from directly resolving the conflict, but they simply didn’t have the time (both working on the episode and within the episodes time constraints) to think up of a more discreet manner of placing them on the sidelines.

@Background Pony #4CE8  
Do they actually? Or is it a case of “the script will be done this way or we find somebody else to do it.”

@Background Pony #0E5C  
Budget increase.

Why is Celestia’s mane so… glow-y?

@Background Pony #2B1E  
She is the eldest by… a little more than a thousand years. Girl needs her Botox.

@Background Pony #2B1E  
She must be tired.

What’s with the bags under the eyes?

@Philweasel  
Nah. At least we heard Celestia getting captured in that one.

@Background Pony #AED3  
You forgot “Princess Twilight”. (to be fair, it’s really forgettable)

@Background Pony #16DB  
Storm King: Wha? I can’t be beat! I’m the Storm King!
 
(Tempest ex Machina)
 
Storm King: That’s more like it.

@Philweasel  
At least it’s more dignified than how they were captured offscreen in Two Where And Back Again.
 
I left out A Canterlot Wedding, since it can be forgive since we didn’t know Cadance was being impersonated.
 
The series premiere doesn’t count. Celestia’s situation was too ambiguous.

@Background Pony #2A38  
If they despised them, we never would have gotten A Royal Problem.

@Background Pony #AED3  
you forget that the writers despise the princesses  
they’ll be lucky if they even get a minute of screen time.

@Background Pony #2A38  
You realize the movie would be over way too quickly otherwise, right?

soak it up folks this and the end is the only screen time they will get as they get KO’d a few seconds later  
except twilight.

Thank you! I tried doing it in Paint, but it’s impossible to scale something while keeping its aspect ratio there.

Can someone combine >>1499921 with >>1499901 (merged)?
 
 
>>1499901t (merged)
 
They’re slightly different zoom levels, which doesn’t help.
