Yeah, my idea was they need to do this because Discord fucked up the planet so bad during his reign. Of course, I also treat the story of the uniting of the tribes as allegory.
@Derpinator
My thought, too, actually… Some sort of magic-field around the planet drags on its spin, so Celestia has to keep it spinning, and Luna has to keep the Moon’s orbit from decaying.
If it’s actually the size and distance of our sun, and she moves it through the sky in even 5* of arc, it will probably be on the order of 1038 if not many orders of magnitude larger.
@Cirrus Light
I a year ago, I even predicted Season 5 was going to have a “Luna meets AppleBloom in dream land” episode. (After having Scootaloo & Sweetie Belle, it was quite obvious.)
@Scrounge
In all seriousness, though, that sounds great, actually. Curtains would probably unfurl in her thrashing (involuntary response to hanging), or after she falls unconscious but before she dies, and stabbing has a very poor success rate for suicide.
And on the other hoof, living with Sweetie Belle means she’d almost certainly overhear thrashing (hanging) or screaming (stabbing), which means she’d probably get rescued and get appropriate medical and psychiatric care.
The irony is that Applebloom went on to become a successful Businessmare, but ended up committing suicide at the age of 37 due to an unsatisfying hollow life, while Street Cleaner!Applebloom lived to the age of 87, living a fulfilling and interesting life full of friends and excitement, and wrote a best-selling young adult novel series based on the many strange things she saw while on the job.

I actually like to think they’re not
actuallymoving the heavenly bodies, but rotating Equestria, the planet.How many calories does it burn to raise the sun?… :p

(1038 = 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 )

The “prophet” tag needs to be used more XD
Actually, that was a joke at my expense.
Jeez, stop making incorrect and weakly-based assumptions.
I’m really just kinda having fun, here :p
Jeez, stop having a victim complex based on perceived persecution against a character that you like.
Actually, most people in this thread weren’t even commenting on that.
Sorry, just had to drop by again because relevant.
“What’s up Sugarcube??”
“I just saw the most terrible thread on Derpibooru!…”
“It’s like everypony wants me dead!…”

Completely relevant image just appeared on the front page:
So many wonderful things in my boutique!
I could hang myself with ribbons!
Or cut myself with broken glass or the kitchen knives!
Or overdose on [possibly poisoned?] ice cream!
Well, I guess it’s curtains for her, then.
…
Too soon?
She could probably hang herself with the curtains. Wrap them around the neck enough it could probably her long enough.
Not really.
In that state of mind, there’s no way she’d be able to tie a proper knot.
The only reason it didn’t happen in the episode itself was because of the rating. She very clearly lost her mind completely.
We got quite a few chubby-chasers in the fandom it seems. :P
