Image Description:
Celestia and a “birb” (hippogriff) are sitting and chatting about their days. Celestia is busying doing paperwork in what’s supposed to be her break time and exhaustively says “I’m just so busy with these decrees… I wish I could have a break” to which the hippogriff coyly responds that she has an idea, placing a zipper on Celestia’s chest and unzipping it. Celestia acts a little surprised, sitting back and looking down as she’s unzipped before the hippogriff begins to climb inside, telling her that she can sit and back and take a break while she pilots her body and does all the work. Celestia agrees and decides to take a nap while her body is in use, with the bird climbing fully inside, positioning her wings and sprawling them out. Before finally sitting there and declaring that she’ll make the perfect princess and g a decree to let her people eat cake!

Detailed syntax guide

Yeah I’ve studied French revolutionary history quite thoroughly. Marie Antoinette never said “Let them eat cake” (and the supposed quote is ‘let them eat brioche’) and that phrase was not attributed to her until around 1841, 48 years after her death.
This was also an already-existing trope at the time, where people would tell stories of a noble lady telling starving peasants to eat something fancy when they’re clearly starving. This goes back to the 16th century at least (see Das Ander theyl der Garten gesellschafft).
So no, not a single person died over that statement, and it had nothing to do with the revolution or why they killed Marie Antoinette. If it did actually, I wouldn’t have put it in. It’s just a stupid joke, quoting something most people know she never actually said.

The context the of “Let them eat cake” is… Disturbing. I can tell what they were going for, but it fell flat… You do know there was a terrible civil war that happened over that statement?
Okay, the twist with Cake is funny :D
