Maybe its because I’m simply biased against the whole Tyrantlestia thing, but I simply cannot in good faith approve of either how Papillon is portraying Celestia nor how he is handling criticism of it. Even disregarding the can of worms that is Celestia’s portrayal, calling people “butthurt” because they’re voicing concern/disapproval of how one of the most noble and kindhearted characters in the show is being portrayed as…something completely opposite that just seems juvenile.

Wait. What? Really? You’re going to tell someone the way they should portray a character (who still doesn’t have a super-solid character in the canon of the show anyway) ON THEIR OWN BLOG?! And you’re calling THEM juvenile? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
This is fuking molestia all over again, I’m calling it, I’d bet money butt I need my money
It’s like if I were to portray Doctor Whooves as like…not a Doctor and people going “Omg you’re getting him wrong!” Or if I were to portray Trixie as kinda timid and people going “No that’s not right!”
Look. The fact is everything EVERYTHING is up to interpretation. We will NEVER know the exact character of a pony, especially not a background pony, villain, or maybe even an alicorn. If someone wants to portray Celestia as a tyrant, who the fuck REALLY cares?
Saying celestia shouldn’t be portrayed as a tyrant is like saying the Doctor can’t be a toy or scootaloo can’t be a male. It’s not up to you to decide how someone else should run their own blog, it’s up to them. The only one I see being juvenile is the person who is telling someone else how to run their own blog.
Ironic considering how a while ago you criticized someone for having an alicorn oc living her life as a waitress. You really have no right to reblog that after pulling that bullshit.
The problem with an alicorn being a waitress is that it makes absolutely no sense. Celestia being a tyrannical leader? That is fully within the relm of possibility. The only way I can let an alicorn being a waitress pass is if everyone in the universe is an alicorn.
I still think you’re being a raging hypocrite. You criticizing one person for their blogs and defending another for practically the same thing.
There is a difference between having an OC based off of a god species while making them useless and having a national leader in canon end up abusing their powers.
What I am trying to tell you is that it can only pass if it makes sense. If it logically happen. A universe where alicorns are gods and having one be some incredibly mundane person despite basically being a god does not make any sense.
A world leader abusing their political and magical power does make sense.
