I just got the Journal and read it today as well. I was amazed that even when they got their crowns, the Royal Sisters were still blank flanks, and most of the sun and moon duties were done, just like in Hearth's Warming Eve, by King Bullion, Princess Platinum, and the Unicorns.

Once Star Swirl was exhausted doing it himself alone, Celestia and Luna stepped up to use their Alicorn magic, and earned their Cutie Marks at long last. It only makes watching them sacrifice their Cutie Marks with their Alicorn magic to try and stop Tirek harder to watch since it basically put them back to before they came to Star Swirl's aid and first became the Solar and Lunar Sovereigns...They could maintain peace, but it was as if they never found their true destiny...
