the title makes me think this should be a crossover, but it isn't. <_<
ReplyDeleteCelestia on a couch tag, that's a new one.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a random comedy for me. Will read......after finals
Lol @ Celestia on a couch tag.
ReplyDeleteCelestia on a couch... I shall now read this fic!
ReplyDeleteAnd at the end she drains the reporter of most of his blood and flies off.
ReplyDeleteThere. Now I spoiled it.
@DPV111
ReplyDeleteOh man, now I'm definitely reading this!
Is this a crossover of that Vampire movie my mom made me watch a lot?
ReplyDelete*bursts into interview room waving protest placards*
ReplyDeleteFREE THE SHEEP HERDS, END THE GRIFFON WAR, END OPPRESSION OF INDIGENOUS DRAGONS, TAX FANCY PANTS, OCCUPY CANTERLOT!!!!
Wait, interview with a Princess.........IT'S A CROSSOVER OF INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE OMAHGAWDHOWDIDINOTSEETHAT?!
ReplyDeleteYay, This is a great story, so funny. Glad it finally made it to EQD. I <3 Celestia. :D
ReplyDeleteIt has nothing to do with any other Interview with... movie, book or whatever, is just an interview with Celestia... on a couch.
Seems interesting enough, I'll be sure to put it on my to read list.
ReplyDelete-Minty
@Twilight_Crow that's Interview with a Vampire for ya'!
ReplyDelete"Celestia on a couch" = Instant read for me.
ReplyDeletePrincess Celestia is a vampire?!
ReplyDelete...
Consarn it, there were already references made...
I'd be more happy if people didn't continually ask me questions about bananas, what is it with you ponies and them?
ReplyDelete@Celestia Because friendship is magic
ReplyDeleteCan I sit on the couch too? :D
ReplyDeletei would ask, could you become president? so when we write letters we could start with, "Dear Princess Celestia..." and you could use the Celestia avatar to be in character when making addresses. the other countries would be like "aww man how come we cant do that?"
ReplyDeleteI like it. it's short and sweet and very well done.
ReplyDeleteThough admittedly, were I in the narrator's place, nothing could have stopped me from asking Celestia, "Just where did you and your sister come from; and are you really divine?"
@Travis Smith
ReplyDeleteOh my god, dude. I nearly pissed myself.
I enjoyed this story very much. It was hilarious, especially with the surprise appearance in the last chapter.
ReplyDeleteWell that's enough fanfiction for tonight. After Fallout Equestria, Pink Eyes, Progress, and this, I have gotten no studying done for my physics final tomorrow.
@Bombedrumbum
ReplyDeleteBitch.
@DPV111 To the moon with ye!

ReplyDeleteWith an additional tag like "Celestia on a couch", how could I have resisted? I quite liked this story.
ReplyDeleteThe joy I got from reading this, is endless.
ReplyDeletethis was fantastic! the ending had me laughing just for the twist.....
ReplyDeleteI must say, this was rather entertaining. A lot of Celestia's history lesson seems to fit with the show, possibly, as well.
ReplyDeleteHe did a good job on the story and kept quite a bit canon and delved into the realm theory. This fic is very fascinating.
ReplyDeleteHaving actually read it now, I must say it was rather fascinating. It had a slow start, which I think could have been constructed better, but once it got going into Celestia's thoughts on events and especially into the interview, it became quite interesting indeed.
ReplyDeleteI especially liked the way that events in the "real" Equestria, for lack of a better phrase, contrast rather harshly with the G-rated depictions in the cartoon. It's...a concept that really should be obvious, and yet somehow I had never thought about it that way before until I read this story.
I shall give this four stars out of five.
I just read it... and I LOVED EVERY WORD OF IT!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteif felt so real, I got all giddy reading it... and that epilogue was pure WIN!!!!!
Must...resist...urge to write and burn letters!
ReplyDeleteThis was one of the most entertaining stories I've read in a while. I can't help but think how I'd react in that situation...
ReplyDeleteA true "feels good" story. I'm still smiling.
ReplyDeleteIt was very entertaining! I demand a sequel!
ReplyDeleteMy heart went HNNNNNGGG. I felt like bouncing off the walls, and I felt like I couldn't read more than a paragraph or two at a time in case I exploded.
ReplyDeleteJust read the whole thing. Hot Damn I want to be the author's friend now. Anyway, well written, excellent subversion of the "everything in the show is everything in the real version" thing.
ReplyDeleteIs it odd that I had absolutely no problem understanding the entirety of the "Realms" thing before Celestia was even in the door? It ties rather well to my firm belief of the multiverse, and how everything ever that is fiction here, and in other Realms too, is real in some alternate realm.
@Chaos Knux
ReplyDeleteNice. My philosophy is "Everything that can be conceived of must possess the potential to exist as otherwise it would be inconceivable."
Loved it! I didn't really bother painting a mental image of the "real" Celestia, as I like the idea of a cartoon Celestia IRL better. But hey, that's just me.
ReplyDeleteAnd also, the ending: IT WAS PERFECT. FIVE STARS and an Epic Brohoof to you!
Wunnerful and satisfying! 5/5
ReplyDeleteMagical. It was quite some time since I enjoyed a story so much.
ReplyDelete@DPV111
ReplyDeleteYou mean... there's a universe in which "Twilight" is real? *shudder and nausea* I must destroy that universe ASAP!!
Anyway, loved the story! And the hints that Discord was indeed far more wicked than in the cartoon! And mega-kudos to story-brony for aiding in defeating him before he could do anything! :D
@Celestia
ReplyDeleteI will never ask you about bananas.
So... do you like papayas? >;3
A Strange Way to Spend the Day :
ReplyDelete>For the last decade or more, I’ve done most of my writing on a keyboard, rather than with pen and paper. My penmanship is atrocious now. My spelling, thanks to years of spell-check dependency, is very nearly as bad.
-You know... those are some quite fascinating lines, I must say.
>A lonely immortal who still managed to love all of the brief sparks of life that surrounded her.
-The eternal dilemma of Immortal Beings who wished to live with the mortals, instead than in the higher planes of existence... Also a fascinating subject, seen and read about it in quite a few (adventure/rpg) books, games, and animes.
>I admit that I’m often a melancholy type of guy. I tend to over-think things like this
-Pretty sure this is called ‘empathy’.
A Most Wondrous Encounter :
>when a character out of complete fiction steps out of nowhere and begins talking to you.
-Well, about that... there’s this one quite interesting theory, mixing the multi-verse/multi-realities theory, and the noosphere theory... that I thought about some time ago.
>The good news was that I missed the fire pit.
-What an odd, strange, AND funny sentence this is ?
>“Are you alright?” She asked me.
>“If you didn’t know that I existed, why did you invite me to visit you for an interview?”
-Yeah, she’s casual like that. Happens every couple of weeks or so.
In fact, that’s why she’s almost never there to directly solve troubles like a grumpy Ursa Minor, a hungry Hydra, or stuff like that... she’s so busy making inter-reality interviews. ;)
Questions... :
>“Could you explain, please, how you didn’t know that I existed, and yet still wanted to meet me?”
-Huhhh... Quick ! To the ‘’multi-verse/noosphere’’ theory !
>“She’s adorable!” And with that, Nadine graced me with a look that only cats can provide, both incredible self-satisfied smugness and completely indolent relaxation at the same time.
-This is something that truly can’t be denied ;). Hurray for cats.
>She glanced back curiously, read a few names, and then said, “Can we watch the next episode?”
-Celestia becoming a ‘’brony’’ ? ...INCEPTION ! ;)
... 2minutes later ...
>Oh, my. Could Celestia herself be a Brony?
-Echo ? Also, amusing coincidence. Also #2, double-Inception !
@Nova25
ReplyDelete...and Answers :
>"In the early days of Equestria
-The country, of course...
Was this story made before / take into account the last episode (Hearths Warming Eve : blablabla, ancient-ponies travel to another *land*, and thus founded what would become the country of ‘Equestria’.) ?
>Unbelievable storms would rage one moment, followed by an intense stillness and heat, followed by snow. It was chaos.
-Sounds like the earlier ‘’days’’ of Earth.
>you make it sound like life is evil in some way.
-Oooooook ? That was badly formulated/interpreted by him ?
Celestia talked of ‘’corrupted life magic’’, which ‘life magic’ that she referred to as ‘’wild/raw magic’’ earlier, not ‘life’ itself. Not sure how the guy interpreted this like that ?
>That portion of life that attached itself to Luna's emotions
-...’’life attacked my today, and ate all my cereals’’. *roll my eyes* ...the ‘raw materials/components’ for something aren’t the ‘thing’ itself.
Celestia is getting confused of her own definition(s) of ‘what’ the raw/wild magic IS (and its applications), or something ?
>it was the darkness in my own sister's soul that caused the Nightmare to take the form it did, not the magic of life itself.
-Again... ‘’magic of life’’ ? Wasn’t it rather the ‘RAW/WILD magic manipulated by Luna’s tainted/negative will’, and not ‘’life(magic of)’’, that was involved ?
>and the wild magic of life was omnipresent.
-(sigh)... Ok now... It’s not ‘’life’’, it’s not ‘’magic of life’’, it’s apparently the fault of the ‘’wild magic... of life’’ ?
Seems like the word ‘life’ is being pasted *everywhere* for some weird unknown reasons ?
The ‘’wall’’ (life) was apparently created by assembling/manipulating the bricks (raw/wild magic) together...
If you get a brick on your head, blame the brick... not the wall.
>"So, if magic, for lack of a better term, has been tamed, why can unicorns still use magic?"
-I must tilt my head at this one, really ? That guy must have his mind elsewhere or something...
Once something is TAMED, it’s usually much easier to do stuff with ‘it’, without having ‘it’ ‘’bite back’’ (or explode, or try to kill you, or etc). Also, this makes Celestia’s answer a bit odd, since his question basicly answers itself.
>You have it here, as well, though it's not in a form you can easily tap into.
-I think it may be related to the : 3 Fundamental Forces of Physics... or maybe it’s the Quantum Physics ;).
> By harnessing the sun and the moon, Luna and I were able to extend the reach of Harmony across Equestria
-Across the *country* of Equestria... and the rest planet too, of course. Right ? *cough* last episode *cough*
Epilogue :
>By the way, my wife was fine. Just a slight bump on the head. And a complete shifting of her concept of reality, of course.
-Then, she should be ok in a week or so. ...I don’t know. It just sounds funny.

Well, this was a fascinating and pretty interesting story.
All quite good and enjoyable, though... well... the ‘Answers’ chapter was, huhhhhh, I will say : ‘well constructed’, though its ‘’building material’’ might need a little inspection... the solidity of some of the ‘’bricks’’ looks suspicious.
