The elements of harmony on the ground? So, is this a scene right after Tia banished Luna using the elements? |

I like the way this artist draws Celestia. |

Poor Celestia!
I imagine she must have been absolutely heartbroken to have do that to her beloved sister. I'm sure Celestia suffered with her decision every single day for those thousand years. Did she do the right thing? Was there more should could have done? ...would she ever see her little sister again? |

With Luna out of the way and her parents dead (or disappeared...?) then she's entirely alone in the world. For a thousand years she has to bare the... um... "fate" of the world? She has to balance it and appear perfect and doesn't have even one person she can speak to without getting--- ... You know what? I like the idea that she's had many apprentices akin to Twilight and that made her a little less lonely. At least she had something to do with her time. |

She wielded them all herself? So much for needing friends, lol. |

I've come to prefer the interpretation that she and her sister can visit the "Summerlands" when they wish.... |
| AlCapony #339540 11 months ago |
^^ In my head-canon she was able to use them herself, but since not even Celestia can embody all the elements herself, she couldn't use them properly and to their full potential.
Which is the reason why she couldn't purge the darkness from Luna, as the Mane6 later did, but only use the Elements to keep Nightmare Moon away from Equestria (i.e. banished in the moon). |
| FireEel #339674 11 months ago |
There's still the question of the darkness within Luna.
Is it just some forbidden evil magic she chose to use on herself, but ended up losing control. Is it due the possession by some dark power. Or is it simply Luna's head too stuck up in her ass to admit she was wrong? |

She is one of the last ponies I would ever want to see a tear shed from for any reason. For some reason, and I cannot explain this, I am actually glad to have seen this. It's beautifully done, and seeing Celly emotional throws all of the goofy feelings about her fannon personas out of the window. Even tho I think they are hilarious. |

if a normal hman can be fond of their ant farm, I'm pretty sure she can be fond of mortals just as easily.
heck, that might by why she started the special school to begin with. |

There is something strange about Celestia's face... but I can't figure it out :$ |
| Anonymous #340173 11 months ago |
Yeah this definitely seems to be like its supposed to be immediately after Celestia used all the elements to banish Nightmare Moon a thousand years previously. |
| Drasvin #340284 11 months ago |
Celestia must have been so lonely after that. Yeah she had the mortal ponies, but she was a princess. She had a duty. She had to appear strong for her people. She wouldn't be able to show weakness. She wouldn't be able to let her emotions flow forth. Not to any of her subjects. To do so would weaken their resolve, their faith in the country. It would give her enemies, both near and far, leverage to use against her.
There is also the prospect that after dealing with Nightmare Moon, Celestia was afraid. Afraid that she was at risk of the same fate that befell her sister. Afraid of what she could become if she didn't control herself. @FireEel Good question. I personal prefer to think of it was the forbidden magic type. It is more thematically appealing than some demon-thing lurking in the shadows. Allows for the whole 'One's greatest enemy is themselves' theme to come into play, and allows for the evil magic to be used in a lot of potential aesops. All of the mane cast has shown cases in which they probably wished they were a more powerful, in a manner of speaking, with their special talent. If a similar situation were to happen again, and they knew about the dark power, it would be rather tempting for them to use it, wouldn't it? @Unicron I don't know if that would be the best or the worst time for the Decepticons to invade. On one hand, Celestia is emotion distraught, so she would have difficulty coordinating an effective counterstrike. On the other hand, she's emotional distraught, so she might do something insanely drastic, like deciding just to drop the sun on top of them and then roll it around for a while. |

Using up the Elements of Harmony will result in the user turning into a diamond and imminent death. |

I always interpreted this as the site of the mane 6 getting slaughtered, probably because I first saw this right after the Discord arc. |

I imagine something even more cruel: That Celestia found a way to use the Elements to purge Luna's darkness and free her early, only to learn that she could no longer use the Elements because she no longer had any friends.
And then she had to sit through a celebration thrown in her honor by her subjects as a "reward" for banishing a "great and terrible evil". |
