That's how most people see it. The only reason she did that to them was so THEY can keep Twilight from going crazy again. |

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. |

The letters are important (as highlighted in the Return of Harmony). The deadlines aren't. Twilight's rigidly organized mentality assumed otherwise, and under pain of failing to meet that, she broke. And of course the other five, seeing Celestia's intervention precisely at sundown, when Twilight was officially tardy, likely suddenly assumed that being tardy actually had the consequences Twilight feared (rather than Spike informing the princess that Twilight was breaking down under the stress and going to extremes), as seemingly cemented by Twilight's morose farewell, creating a bit of dramatic irony when, in the subsequent library scene, Celestia wasn't concerned with the deadline.
Now while Celestia still operated under the other ponies' false pretense that she was going to punish Twilight for being tardy, there was likely no reason to do otherwise: it was only because of that, that Twilight's friends came to her aid and realized the week's lesson of friendship (the whole point in the first place). And Celestia then gave a new condition that would conveniently alleviate Twilight's organizational stresses and reinforce the friendship between the mane six, as well as forgetting Twilight's potentially non-existent punishment (potentially, because she might have been punished for causing chaos and disharmony, perhaps). Not completely honest, but it's not mean-spirited, either. |

I'm convinced that there was originally *supposed* to be a lecture in which Celestia lectured Twilight on the importance of not making things worse, but it got left on the cutting-room floor in the final storyboard. |

@dude, thank you for the completely unneccessary explanation. |

^Eh, I'm sorry.
Everyone's just so quick to pin everything bad ever on Celestia. |

Thanks dudemang for saying exactly what I was going to (although I probably wouldn't have worded it very well). |
| togashimenai #571572 9 months ago |
We don't pin EVERYTHING bad on her. We just like to point out how her actions can be easily interpreted as trolling and extending her dominance of power.
Seriously, the reason that Twilight had to write letters ever week was because she's a student that's going to school. Those letters are her homework. Why would the other Ponies suddenly be expected to start writing essays? How would you like it if you caused a friend to miss a deadline for a history paper, so now the professor wants YOU to start studying the subject and submitting papers to make up for it? This is a case of Celestia using pony's guilt about something in order to extend her direct control over the individual lives of ponies. |
| elementofchaos7 #571594 9 months ago |
togash, there WAS no deadline. It was all in Twilight's head that she had to write a letter on a super-strict schedule. And Celestia basically said to write a letter "when, and ONLY when, you learn a lesson in friendship". |

togashimenai said: I dunno. Do I get academic credit for it? |
| togashimenai #572274 9 months ago |
elementofchaos7, You seemed to have missed the entire point of my post so that you can try to discredit me based on a possible flaw in the evidence.
Whether or not there really was a deadline, Celestia was still able to use everyone's guilt to force them into doing homework for a class that they aren't even taking! In this way, she tightens her grip over the most powerful ponies in the land! |

Of course everyone ignores that Twilight gets away with stalking youngsters, outright using mind control on said children(much like, oh, I dunno, Discord), causing a citywide riot, and letting Big Mac steal a toy. Seriously, I know you had a psychotic episode, Ms. Sparkle, but what the hell. |

In any case, maybe they've all learned that friendship should go both ways. Your friends should perhaps actually help you occasionally rather than you helping them all the time. |

Twilight effectively cursed Ponyville due to her homework-related stress.
Best make her friends do the same homework. |

@togashemenai Oh yes, Celestia is SUCH a tyrant for ordering ponies to study FRIENDSHIP and telling them there are no deadlines, and for not punishing her student for throwing Ponyville into chaos. It's not as though the main cast are becoming better people thanks to her deceptions and orders.
Some people take Trollestia/Tyrant Celestia too seriously. Sure Celestia is Machiavellian autocrat, but she acts only for the well-being of her subjects. |
