Well, it's a finished hobby project. I'm sure all people get that way when they finish something they've invested so much time and effort into over years of their life. On the other hand, there's also the satisfaction of the completed work, and the relief that now you can work on something else.
It's a comparatively minor improvement to your domain. But one that might make other people want to do the same someday.
How would they react to a simple retirement? Let them go off somewhere, just build stuff for their own sake. Since I assume the act of building is encoded into their psyches...
Safe bet that she appreciates the starry sky better than most. Perhaps taking notes for Equestria...
What, no desire to recreate dinosaurs on some remote island somewhere? No, wait, that's already a thing in DC...
Honestly? Is there any need to do anything besides let it collapse into a curiosity for future space travellers?
Can't leave unattended boom tube tech laying around, after all.
They'd probably rather build their own, and the modifications needed would make it too much trouble.
Mysteries millennia down the line after sociological collapses or the extinction of the species, more often than not. Wonder how Earth will react if we ever find something like this out there?
Well, it's not their fault they were so tasty to the funny new folks wandering around their islands and had next to no natural predators...
Well, they were probably worried about what might happen if they have an episode while playing with it. Just because they know that their treatments have fixed the issue doesn't mean the fear of it isn't there.
Ah, one of the common quirks of human-Equestrian interactions. Fingers are so handy for ear-scritches...
Or a brush held in teeth or telekinesis. And I suspect the sharing of such an activity is a very intimate thing for some.
Oh, my... [/takei] But seriously, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that it's a thing pony mothers do for their foals.
Just don't go mentioning that around your human fans, Luna. You'll come back later to find all manner of interesting things online...
They're effectively rival rulers. Is it any wonder they interact in such antagonistic ways?
Oh, boy. Dare I imagine what kind of book on Friendship Twilight wrote?
Of course, that last five percent... That's where a lot of their conflict comes in, I bet.
Oh, dear. Hopefully it's not too hare-brained.
Nothing says you have to retire together anyway. Surely Luna could work part-time with the new government until it settles...
And how loudly is the Renegade going to complain about it?
Holding himself back, I see. Or is he just saving the proper response for Celestia?
Pfft. As if Sunset would want to rule anything besides a dedicated research academy.
Oh, I don't see this going at all well. The Twilight meltdown is going to become legend if this goes through.
Of course not, because Celestia seems to operate on the 'sink or swim' mentality...
And honestly, I don't think Twilight would be happy as a ruler. An advisor, a wise old sage the leadership can consult, maybe. Actually being in charge? To quote Big Macintosh: "Eenope!"
He'd better be quick, because I don't think Celestia would feel like waiting before she packed up her crowns and left with only a note for Twilight as warning. As old as the Princess is, I don't think she's ever been troubled by forethought sometimes. Perhaps he can convince her to slowly put together a constitutional monarchy or something...
...bumping my right leg with her left shoulder in a gesture of support.
...pushing them into her scalp.
...returning the top of her head to the optimal head massage position.
