History Literature / TheJournalOfTheTwoSisters

** The [[AgelessBirthdayEpisode party for Rainbow Dash]] that was held in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E12PinkiePride "Pinkie Pride"]] was her "tenth birth-aversary", probably meaning she's been living in Ponyville for ten years.

* YeOldeButcheredEnglish: The examples of ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE seen in this book have more grammatical problems than in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E4LunaEclipsed "Luna Eclipsed"]], e.g. "thou could" instead of "thou couldst", "we art" instead of "we are".

* PoweredByAForsakenChild: The sun and moon used to be raised by teams of unicorn volunteers, who would eventually be drained of all magic for the rest of their lives by the constant strain. Celestia and Luna had ''no idea'' this was going on until Star Swirl suffered RapidAging from trying to raise the sun by himself. To cure him and the other unicorns who had been depleted of magic, the alicorn sisters took on the duty of moving the sun and moon and gained their cutie marks by doing so.

* CompositeCharacter: Celestia and Luna take on traits of the Mane Six's personalities -- Celestia has Twilight's bookishness and anxiety about living up to her expectations; Luna has Fluttershy's kindness and ability to understand animals, and Pinkie Pie's enjoyment for playing pranks. From Rainbow Dash, Celestia gets her love of flying fast, while Luna demands things to be ''awesome.''

* RhymesOnADime: Seems to be a racial trait of all zebras.

* GoodIsNotSoft: Celestia as always. She gets threatened a lot, and her responses become more and more firm as she grows into * her role.

* TheAgeless: Not Celestia and Luna (who Luna describes as just really LongLived) but Starswirl the Bearded, who in his attempts to create time spells, instead creates an age reversal spell and successfully uses it on himself. This nicely explains how he could be alive for so many important events, and raises the possibility he could still be so....
* TheHeart: Luna is the gentler of the two, and several times finds a way to defuse a situation with kindness.
* RichBitch: Princess Platinum clearly didn't learn anything from the events depicted in [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E13HearthsWarmingEve "Hearth's Warming Eve"]].

* ThatOneGuy: Of the six founders of Equestria depicted in Hearth's Warming Eve, only Commander Hurricane is a stallion. Clover, Platinum, Smart Cookie, Puddinghead, and Pansy are all mares.

* PoweredByAForsakenChild: The sun and moon used to be raised by teams of unicorn volunteers, who would eventually be drained of all magic for the rest of their lives by the constant strain. When Star Swirl suffers RapidAging from trying to raise the sun by himself, Celestia and Luna start taking on this duty and gain their cutie marks by doing so.

** Starswirl the Bearded tried to teach Luna how to move stars, which would lead to her moving them in the first episode to free herself from them moon.

* VoodooShark: If there were other alicorns who raised and educated Celestia and Luna, and other zebras who lived beyond the Everfree Forest, what happened to them?

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Pinkie Pie's scholarly discussion on the phrase "Slippery When Wet" rambles on for three pages, and ''makes no sense''.

** The Princess of the Crystal Empire is called Princess Amore, which is one of Cadance's middle names.

* ThatOneGuy: Of the six founders of Equestria depicted in Hearth's Warming Eve, only Commander Hurricane is a stallion. The rest are all mares.

!!'''This book provides examples of:'''
* AbsenteeActor : Fairly justified, as the period the diaries cover just doesn't stretch into the events that involve them. Still the absence of even a hint of Discord or Sombra in the Celestia/Luna chapters is notable.
* AsYouKnow : Conspicuously averted, for good reason. The diary entries cover a fairly short amount of time, and neither princess goes into great detail about what happened [[VoodooShark before they became rulers of Equestria.]]
* BadassBookworm : Celestia is described as a 'nerd', but Luna admits that she is also the better fighter of the two, and can easily keep up with a [[TheArchmage master mage]] like Star Swirl.
* BerserkButton : Luna goes into full DisproportionateRetribution mode at Princess Platinum's RichBitch behavior.
* {{Bookworm}} : Celestia's one request for their royal castle? A big library.
* BigSisterWorship : [[HarsherInHindsight Luna clearly adores Celestia, and gushes all over the diary whenever she does something cool.]]
* BunnyEarsLawyer : Star Swirl the Bearded is a regular MadScientist type, and both sisters find him rather odd.

* CallForward : A lot.

*** She also ends up designing the tapestries... that more than a thousand years later Rarity spends so much effort restoring.
** Celestia is mentioned as spending time with Star Swirl in his library helping him with his spells, exactly as depicted in the Reflections arc of the [[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDW IDW Comics.]]
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}} : Pinkie Pie's scholarly discussion on the phrase 'Slippery When Wet' rambles on for three pages, and ''makes no sense''.

* DefeatMeansFriendship : Princess Platinum ends up firm friends with Luna, and accepts her right as a princess... after being totally humiliated and ejected from the castle at high speed.
* DugTooDeep : There were tales of a great dragon living in the caves where the crystal heart was found, but no pony has seen it in many years. Clearly this means it is safe to mine away without thought to the consequences!
* EasyEvangelism : Luna averts a war between the Griffon Empire and Equestria... with sweets. And rhyming. But mostly sweets.
* GoodIsNotSoft : Celestia as always. She gets threatened a lot, and her responses become more and more firm as she grows into her role.
* InsaneTrollLogic : The griffon ruler reasons that since the Pegasus Empire no longer exists due to being absorbed into Equestria, all it's territories are legally up for grabs. Both Princesses point out how little sense this makes.
* NaughtyIsGood : Luna is quite the scamp, and earns more than a few glares of disapproval from Celestia for the frequent pranks she subjects ''important dignitaries'' to.
* NervesOfSteel : Say what you like about Princess Platinum, she only trembles briefly at Luna's display of magical power, royal canterlot voice and her angry manticore pet before going right back to taunting her. Whatever else she is, she's certainly not a coward.
* NightmareFetishist : Not quite ''nightmares'' but Celestia does question Luna's rather odd choices in decor for the Castle of the two Sisters.
* OfferedTheCrown : It's confirmed that this was the case with Celestia and Luna, as upon the formation of Equestria the ponies decided they needed a ruler outside of the three tribes.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething : To the extent that Celestia at first refuses to accept the title of 'Ruler' and insists that the more accurate description would be 'Guardian'.
* TheAgeless : Not Celestia and Luna (who Luna describes as just really LongLived) but Star Swirl the Bearded, who in his attempts to create time spells, instead creates an age reversal spell and successfully uses it on himself. This nicely explains how he could be alive for so many important events, and raises the possibility he could still be so...
* TheHeart : Luna is the gentler of the two, and several times finds a way to defuse a situation with kindness.
* RichBitch : Princess Platinum clearly didn't learn anything from the events depicted in [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E13HearthsWarmingEve 'Hearth Warming Eve']].
* SpeaksFluentAnimal : Luna, which surprises even her. She never does work out exactly why she can do it.
* WorldBuilding : The main function of the book. The first diplomatic contact between Equestria and the Crystal Empire, Griffons, Zebra, Dragons, Manticores and the various internal tribes of Equestria are all depicted in detail.

* NaughtyIsGood : Luna is quite the scamp, and earns more than a few glares of disapproval from Celestia for the frequent pranks she subjects ''important dignitaries'' too.
