((Random thought that just occurred to me while contemplating a pre S1 verse; do you think Twilight's been to The Gala before? She seemed to be the only one NOT totally freaking out about getting tickets if I recall))
||. oh trust me that’s something that me and @regentoftwilight have discussed a LOT given that the two of us are adamant believers in “twi comes from a family of elites in canterlot even BEFORE having become celestia’s protege.”
she does mention back in season 1 that she hasn’t gone to the grand galloping gala before, and i personally think one of two things: 1. she’s LYING because honestly when does she NOT and she HAS been to the GGG at some point in time (though it was probably only briefly and because it was mandatory bc tbh she despises galas) 2. while twilight has been to GALAS before (and other events for the canterlot elite), she might have chosen to avoid THAT ONE in particular. after all, if you’ve been to one gala, you’ve been to them all. (and again, she HATES them)
i kind of mix the two. she’s TECHNICALLY lying bc she’s at least briefly been to the gardens during the time of the GGG but never officially showed up because at the last second decided she had better things to do. the night that she went with her ponyville friends was her first time in actual recorded attendance, and frankly the only one she’s ever partly enjoyed.
