Sure it’s not a Strauss flask?

To clarify what I said, Celestia never said she was making Twilight into an Earthbound.
 
Just that she was taking away her horn and cutie mark.

@Mugen Kagemaru  
It’s possible, the first page doesn’t actually have Celestia SAY she was going to remove Twi’s horn and cutie mark, at both points the view switches back to Twilight. Also at no point during her later appearances does Celestia actually say she did anything to Twilight other than express that she might be relying on magic too much. At no point is it DIRECTLY SAID by Celestia that she removed Twilight’s horn or cutie mark…
 
Also the magic auras in the first page that do the removing are blue, instead of yellow…
 
But still, this would imply that Celestia’s initial letter was somehow tampered with and that SOMEONE ELSE is actually responsible for what’s happened to Twilight.
 
…It also shifts some of the blame to Luna and the Mane 6, because if they HAD called Celestia out on ‘her’ bullshit, they’d have all figured out something was wrong a long time ago.

@Mugen Kagemaru  
First frame of the next page, her horn’s back?

@Spiritus Arcane  
Could be that Twilight’s the one mistaken

…Does…does Celestia not actually KNOW what’s happened to Twilight? I think this might be a wham line guys.

Looks to be a fusion of a Kjeldahl Flask and a Schlenk Flask

Oh wow, Tia REALLY doesn’t know how she fucked up.

Why is Spike carrying a bong?
