Celestia Ponies Are A Bunch Of Assholes

I never knew the ponies of Canterlot were such assholes. This story is told from Princess Celestia's viewpoint and takes place in Canterlot Castle. Celestia is hosting a Royal High Tea for the students and teachers of the School For Gifted Unicorns. We all know ponies from Canterlot are a bunch of snobs, but just add this to the equation that we're at a PTA party for prep school unicorns. Think of this as Hogwarts, but everypony is from Slytherin. The parent ponies petition Celestia to force retirement on an aging teacher named Inkwell after all hell breaks loose in the dining hall. It's Princess Celestia's job to remind the parent ponies the impact Inkwell had on them when they were students. Honestly, I don't know what keeps Princess Celestia from going on a homicidal rampage in this story.

This is the eighth installment of the My Little Pony Micro-series. These are self-contained comics told through the viewpoint of a single pony. These stores include the Mane Six as well as the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Issues are planned for Spike and Princess Luna, as well.

Anyway, here are the details:
