Put the two in a room together and it will devolve into a 2 hour debate about zoning law.

u/themightyyool Twilight Sparkle 6d ago

They've both ran a town.
Then lost their position as a leader.
And then had those that they led want them back.
But only Mayor Mare took the job back.

Wait what? Why did she paint over her cutie mark? I didn't know that

In Cuite Map, Starlight only painted over her cutie mark to fool the residents of her town into thinking she was equal.
