It also makes Celestia… kinda creepy.
 
Why not tell Twilight what she was trying to do? Yeah, modesty, bla bla bla. But couldn’t she have said “I am training you for greater things”? Or at least something?  
Seems kinda sneaky to me.

Politicians have to be underhanded and creepy.
 
I like to think the only time she ever felt genuine love for someone was when she was raising Spike. Of course that was temporary and she refocused to political motives.

@The_Mungoman  
‘Kinda’? Just ‘kinda’ creepy?
 
@Itsthinking  
Only? Like, not even for her sister? Jesus, you’re making Celestia come off as a sociopath.

@ClownDicks  
Well, okay very. Very, very, VERY creepy.
 
 
@Itsthinking  
We’ve seen almost nothing of her actual political duties. Not once does she truly rule Equestria. Everything else is done by the Mane 6 or Cadance and her trusty yet useless sidekick Shining Armor.

@ClownDicks  
Let’s just, for a moment, assume that the history as told by Celestia is true. Let’s assume that she had no other option than to banish her only sister to the moon.
 
Why then, did she not make her sister into a big deal with the populace? Why did she let her own sister, who she always knew was just corrupted by an evil force, fall into legend as an evil being? The holiday based on the banishment shouldn’t have been about the evil of Nightmare Moon. It should have been about weeping for the lost royal sister who was overcome by a force she couldn’t resist.

@Itsthinking  
I fully agree. That is also one of the many reasons Luna Eclipsed confused me so.

Best I can come up with is that it’s something only the pony equivalent of flyover country does.

Remember starlight thought just mind controlling her new friends would be ok

Thanks for reminding me that I’ve never been fond of Pinkie, and why I don’t want to see Izzy turned into a G5 copy-pasta of her.

@Ebalosus
That’s unfortunate.

@IV’s
“D’aww, that’s so Starlight! I mean, constantly relapsing into her villainous ways, making terrible plans that only work out of luck, being unable to approach bad situations in a level-headed way, trading away something that belongs to their friend without their permission and being emotionally abusive by getting angry at them for justifiably being upset about it? Such cute character quirks, amiright?”
