It sort of did.
Extraneous quote mark.
Progress! It's not red.
Yay! It worked!!
You really think Zoat is not gonna have her be like an even more special Alicorn or something like that?
What makes you say she looks mature? Just because she's taller?
Why are you working from the assumption that alicorns have a finite lifespan? Celestia and Luna opted to retire. They didn't die.
Check the pic Zoat linked.
Thank you, corrected.
Oh, dear. Someone or something unexpected?
Because of course she'd be an alicorn. Immense magical power? What else?
The staff is an obvious choice. But a broken and rusted sword? Symbolic of intellect overcoming strength of arms?
It's only what, early April 2nd? It shouldn't have been too much trouble.
Hmm... Is Celestia finally starting to let Luna be more active in leadership, or just concerned for Sunset's safety?
They'd be a waste of breath anyway. Has Circe really bothered with such things before, outside of impressing simple folks?
Heh, how informal. I expect she's settled right into ponyhood, right down to using magic with ease.
Huh, unexpected. I'm guessing Sunset's having a few last-minute worries. Or giving Celestia's nose a bit of a tweak. "Look how much cooler my other teacher is!"
Ready to become a demi-goddess? This is no small step, with no going back as far as we know. Of course she's nervous...
Sort of taking the role of substitute parents, aren't they? I wonder how Sunset's actual family will react... Surely they've been told...
Well, as long as she's still got an intact brain, the Rings can do a lot...
And the nerves have been stamped down. Probably still fluttering below the surface, but she's bound and determined now.
Interesting. I wonder how many people have messed with it over the years...
...God dammit, Pinkie... There's comedy and then there's Comedy...
As if they'd let them in here? Bad enough Pinkie's wild talent is in the room.
Do tell, Grayven...
<Spit-takes> Seriously, that's the first thing you think of? Dammit, you've got a dirty mind, filly.
I'm guessing he bonded with her as a vassal, much as he did with his other friends.
It Begins!Have you actually tried doing things other than flying?
I'll bet AJ is just wondering "What Earth Pony Magic?"
Ah, but you miss out on the song from Princess Celestia! Or whatever mentor you favour most, I suspect.
Hopefully just magesight spells, letting them see the workings. Or maybe Celestia's preparing a shield spell. Just in case.
No smouldering symbol of her cutie mark?
Well... That was certainly successful. Let's hope it - and she- is stable.
That reaction! Entirely in character. Guessing she caught up to the fifteen years she was technically away from Equestria...
...what two consenting adults do in private...
Sunset gives her a mild glare.
...a powerful magic discharge from ponies...
Twilight was supposed to be a thousand years old in the ending? But everyone else was still alive. The other bearers were visibly older but still very much alive, the students from the school were adults, even the Cutie Mark Crusaders were simply young adults.
Thank you, corrected.
I did not know this, makes total sense,
No, because Luna wasn't listening last time he asked.
That's probably what she'd say if asked. After realising that it's not that; it's that she's far happier teaching and researching than she was fighting
He's probably going to get noticed eventually. His work on enchantment was already a set text before the SI met him, remember?
The ending was Twilight looking back on those times.
I get that you enjoy making bad faith arguments yourself, but that's no excuse for falsely accusing others of doing so.
Yes but it isn't a flashback when her friends interact with the young pony asking about them. If they were human I'd put them 28-42yrs based on the definition below their eyes.
