Here's the thing though...Celestia is the Troll god.
Rarity is well someone that would do this. Besides who wants to be rarity |

Perceived...youth...of a princess. Celestia is borderline ancient. |

>Percieved youth of a princess
>Over 1000 years old. >PONY LOGIC. |
| Roboshi #129517 1 year ago |
there is the posibility that the pony monarchy has no level above princess. |

Keep in mind that Rarity finds out that her dream stallion is a rude, arrogant douchebag. And yeah, Rarity's awesome and all, but she's that kind of girl. The one who wants the perfect wedding with the perfect groom and the perfect everything. |

^Indeed. There are people who want the "princess ideal," so it's not a problem that there are characters who are like that. One character out of six having a princess complex as a character flaw is much different from the show as a whole promoting it. |

Maybe Celestia insists on calling herself "Princess" because she wishes to be the little filly. |
| Anonymous #129590 1 year ago |
I like to think that Celestia has taken the title "Princess" out of a desire to be seen as co-equal with her sister Luna. They can both be princesses but it would be weird if they were both queens. |

Youth is a physical thing. It doesn't matter how many years you've been alive. |

I think there's a difference between marrying into the royal family and the situation Faust is describing. |
| Thaluka #129653 1 year ago |
Celestia can call herself whatever she wants. It's like Ghadaffi running his country for decades at the rank of "Colonel". |
| Anonymous #129720 1 year ago |
"Princess", like "prince", comes from the Latin "princeps", meaning "first". So Princess Celestia is still claiming to be #1. |
| AdrianBrony #129722 1 year ago |
I think the difference between rarity and the princess is that rarity's plans were completely deconstructed. |
| AdrianBrony #129731 1 year ago |
also, the solution is simple, Equestria is a Grand Principality, and as it is shared between two leaders depending on whether it is day or night, the two are held at the title of Grand Princess rather than one overtaking the other and Equestria becoming a kingdom.
I'm toying with the technicality of their official titles changing whenever the other one takes over, for instance when luna takes the throne for the night, she becomes the Grand Princess and Celestia is temporarily demoted to High Princess. Celestia was a kind and loving sister so when she banished luna out of necessity, she decided to remain a Grand Princess rather than truly claim the throne all to herself... she was "just keeping luna's seat warm" for her |

The whole point of that scene was for Rarity's borderline-obsessive fantasy to be seen as comical and NOT as a role model. The fact that her silly dream is later dashed by reality only supports this. It actually undermines the very concept that caused the Powers That Be to insist on calling Celestia a "Princess".
Hmmm, and suddenly Lauren Faust is no longer on the show, after only one season. Makes you wonder... |

@AdrianBrony: That's interesting- if only you could have told Lauren Faust while she was still on the show :'D |

Ha, story of my life. This is coming from a 14 year old working 20+ hours a weekend and goes on ponibooru while listening to linkin park and papa roach. F*** my life. |
| your_waifu #130897 1 year ago |
no offense intended eli, but how do you kids still find linkin park and papa roach? that was what the unpopular kids were listening to when i was 12. that was a decade ago. shouldn't you be listening to metalcore and children of bodom? mathcore? hell, cradle of filth? |
| -Eli- #130901 1 year ago |
It was at the moment. You don't has to be so mean
Like I said, f*** my life. |

i wasn't being mean, i just haven't heard those bands in forever. you like what music you like. fuck knows it doesn't matter.
also the unpopular kids when i was 12 = me, so i am you in a decade. |

Rarity can go chill with Charlotte from Princess and the Frog. Charlotte gets someone who is more than happy to cater to her pretty dress obsession, and Rarity gets someone who won't be a nitpicky brat about her work because she'll be too occupied with squeeing over it. |

@Adrian. Agreed, though Equestria does seem to be a bit large for a principality (like Monaco or Andorra). Though the title could have been adopted when the principality was much smaller and never changed.
Anon #129720 also raises a valid point, but Anon #129485 is just being silly. Rarity is a successful small business owner whose designs are worn and photographed by Equestria's elite. The |

If Rarity marries a noblecolt, she becomes the nth princess in line to the "throne".
Keep it simple, because it's a hoofin' kid's show. |
| Anonymous #132831 1 year ago |
Just because Rarity would become a princess through marriage doesn't mean that's how Celestia got the job. |
| Anonymous #138311 1 year ago |
Rarity is somewhat prone to vanity and naive fantasies of high society. It's just one of her foibles, like Rainbow Dash's boastfulness or Applejack's stubbornness. Doesn't detract from her as a character or from a show. The fact that the ponies are allowed to have faults like that makes them all the more endearing. |
