Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

[X] (THRONE) You will try to change things.
And this dependent attitude persists on the other side too. We just saw it in our direct reports, who responded to being told a pony needed to run Equestria by wildly panicking and hoping desperately that an alicorn will show up and solve all their problems.

It's actually really important to getting a stable Celestia that someone tries to change things.
Huh, don't think I've spoken much with you a'fore! Least not direct. But, regardless...

Agreed in part, but I'm not certain on the conclusion. I hope you are correct and I can see a path where you are, but I am not yet confident enough in that path to say it is true.
Celestia does not believe Ponykind capable or ruling itself after what she's seen. Her "Mercy" is to offer an attempt at it.
See the Solar Court for... this entire line of thought in very explicit detail.
I don't think it is a wise decision to have Velvet try and exert control and grasp at this time, but I do think it is the... decision that would match everything that has been made Velvet. Never one to rest on laurels.

I leave voting on the expedition alone because I did not keep up with the development of the turn plan.
I am of the beliefe that with the investment of actions and other traits the chance of a good outcome is better than a bad one.
 
As her mother, we have the right to try to give her a bit of help in this.
That, and as the pony who chose to deprive Celestia and Equestria of their Moon Princess for a season, and in so doing partially precipitated this crisis, we arguably have the duty to try.
