I actually kind of want to see Celestia and Twilight getting high, but I’m pretty sure phrased like that the artist would have them flying amongst clouds or something.
Stoning people who can just fly away, or teleport, or I dunno, maybe create a magic shield to protect themselves before demolishing your whole town without breaking a sweat doesn’t sound like a good idea.
“Hey, we never claimed to be gods, you just assumed us to be, don’t expect us to pick up the tab for your mental retardation. Anyway, once you acquire your “freedom”, tell me if it’s going to be worth it, once the power vacuum sparks a civil war that destroys all the systems I’ve developed over a hundred years to make your lives prosperous.”
“And this is why I don’t want ponies worshipping me, Twilight. There would come a time when I could not live up to their expectations, and they would respond with rage.
Not gonna lie, I’m just in it for the beheadings.
I know! It’s almost like the artist didn’t intentionally twist the request out of context!
I guess we’ll never actually know.
Well, yeah, that’s very true.
I dunno, It usually is.
Is that what they’re doing this for?
Stoning people who keep your country running with prosperity and peace for some empty ideal such as “freedom” seems like a worse idea.
No, they were burned at the stake instead of stoned to death.
