I love how some people think that I hate Celestia because of the events of Papi’s recent updates.  While Celestia is my least favorite of the princesses I don’t hate her, I just see her differently than is widely accepted.

I don’t see her as a purely benevolent and wise ruler, I see her as one who knows how to maintain peace and order through means not meant to be seen or acknowledged by the public.

I don’t see her as instantly forgiving and all-knowing, I see her as one who is strongly set in her ways, and in her beliefs, and for good reason.

I do not see Celestia as ageless, I see her as old.  I see her as one that knew changelings when they first came to be, and came to understand them as they were then, which is much different from how they are in the present of Papi’s canon.  Because she is old, and because she can have trouble accepting change, or differing information from her own (in canon this can be seen) she can be one to ignore what she does not believe and act upon old thoughts, feelings, and hatreds.

Some have said that my iteration of Celestia is too out of character, and I can see their points.  I feel I should remind them, however, that they have seen but a part of the character, and the decisions I’ve made are backed by the history set up in the blog, and by observations of the canon personality.
