I love that animation!
Princess Celestia is my favorite princess from MLP and I think she deserves more kindness from the fandom.
It was really nice seeing a pastel colored princess animation. It was like a breath of fresh air because we're all so used to all these Luna animations.

It annoys me when people say they have OCD or ADHD like they're cute little quirks you can just have if you like being neat or don't like paying attention in school. 
There are people who actually have been diagnosed with the disease and it has a huge impact on their lives.

MLP: FiM SD Archive / Re: Does Celestia truely punishes her own people, regardless of position?

2014 Dec 10, 11:02:55

She's at least a thousand years old. I can't think of any board of representatives that could even come close to matching her knowledge and wisdom with that kind of experience. No offense, but who would have the audacity to assume that they, with their thirty-some years experience, have the right to tell a millennia-old being what to do? Not that I don't think Celestia listens to her subjects. I assume she listens to her subjects equally, and judges fairly based upon that. But to have them instruct her would be like having a ten-year-old telling the President what to do. Even if it's a big group of ten-year-olds, and even if they have some good points, they aren't really qualified to do so. It's like when a little kid thinks its unfair that his parents tell him what to do, like making him eat his vegetables, but when he grows up, he realizes that they were making decisions that would protect him from far less pleasant things, like malnutrition.

Also, we have never seen Celestia punish anypony harshly unless there was no alternative. Banishing Luna was not to punish her sister, but to protect her subjects from what her sister had become, and she seemed quite distressed that she had to do so. The same mentality applies for Discord. Turning him to stone was pretty much the only way to reign in his nearly-omnipotent powers and protect her subjects. (It's not like she could just lock him in jail.) And considering that Tartarus exists as a prison for the wicked and powerful villains of Equestria, like Tirek, and Celestia didn't even put Discord in there, I would say she's pretty lenient.

As for Twilight and Fluttershy's fears, well, they both tend to be a bit paranoid. And besides, look at what ponies have gotten away with. Celestia didn't stop Trixie from leaving Ponyville after the Alicorn Amulet incident, even though the solar sovereign was present at the time during the ceremonies. She didn't judge Fluttershy for stealing her pet, nor Rarity for sending the whole town into stylish chaos with dark magic, nor Twilight Sparkle for performing a spell which entranced most of Ponyville and nearly caused a terrible fracas. (Although she was still quite stern with Twilight, she could have done far worse. Twilight got off from that with little more than a scolding.)

Besides, what everypony seems to overlook is that Luna seems to be the strict one. Cancelling a holiday simply because her subjects are fearful of her? Granted, he whole "Nightmare Moon" thing is a very sore subject for her, so we can't blame her for feeling bothered by an entire holiday based off of her greatest mistake, but still, why is Celestia always painted as the stern dictator, when Luna is the more austere of the two?

Also, I don't think the Equestrian government was quite complete after Luna was banished. The two sisters ruled in a diarchy, Luna's more firm side tempering out Celestia's more lenient side, and vice versa, to ensure that both justice and mercy reigned. Celestia never intended to rule alone. That situation was forced upon her when she was forced to choose between the safety of her subjects and her love for her sister.

And anyways, I agree with Midnight Breeze. Punishing the wicked is justice, not tyranny. And Celestia's been pretty merciful to date.

On a final note, freedom does not mean being free to do whatever you want. That's anarchy. That's chaos. And while one particular inhabitant of Equestria might enjoy such bedlam, I highly doubt anypony else would. If you coddle criminals, then you are still under a dictatorship, only ruled by the criminals instead of the government. As in most things in life, balance is needed, both justice and mercy. We have rules for a reason, not to squelch down freedom, but to keep people from abusing that freedom and hurting themselves or others in the process. Being free to hurt others means that you are taking their freedom from them and forcing your will upon them, be you a king or a robber.
So in other words, just because somepony won't let you jump off a cliff doesn't mean they're squelching your freedom. It means they're looking out for your best interests, because you haven't learned fully yet how to pursue them yourself. They watch after you because you don't know how to watch after yourself fully yet. Because that's love. And love is what any good ruler has for their subjects.
