STARLIGHT: “Hmmm…I wonder what Discord would have done had he been a part of this whole issue…?”

This… changes… EvERyTHinG!

DA SWITCH!

Don’t get upset. We can disagree without there being any hard feelings.
 
>You must be new to the fandom if you think that.
 
Luna is the more popular of the two but she is pretty commonly interpreted as her sisters inferior. It’s not at all unusal for her to be interpreted as being weaker magically, and the person I was originally replying to had suggested that Celestia has all the authority and responsibility and Luna has none.
 
>Truly, how cruel of them to remember that a school usually has once principal and one vice-principal.
 
Vice-principal is a title that is inferior to principal, and making Luna inferior to her sister in the human world suggest that she is inferior in Equestria as well.
 
>lol no  
Please rewatch the first episode. It wasn’t about recognition or power or whatever, it was about everyone going sleep in the night and her being lonely.
 
The prologue from the first episode, which leaves a lot to the imagination since it’s only a minute and thirty seconds long, suggest that their subjects didn’t appreciate Luna’s work as much as Celestia’s, and that that was the cause of Luna’s envy.
 
The reason I’m even willing to argue this is because I think that Luna being inferior is a valid interpretation of her character. I just feel that Celestia and Luna are more compelling characters as equals than not.

lol no

>but the show is also guilty of it what with making her the vice-principal in “Equestria Girls.”  
Truly, how cruel of them to remember that a school usually has once principal and one vice-principal.  
>It bothers me because she became Nightmare Moon because she wanted equal recognition as her sister, and she’s harder to sympathize with if she didn’t deserve equal recognition.  
lol no

I’m out, I don’t want to get into this discussion.

@Background Pony  
It’s mostly fanon that makes Luna out to be inferior, but the show is also guilty of it what with making her the vice-principal in “Equestria Girls.”  
It bothers me because she became Nightmare Moon because she wanted equal recognition as her sister, and she’s harder to sympathize with if she didn’t deserve equal recognition.

@supermanhulkjesus  
There really aren’t any hints of anything like that going on in the show. Celestia handles the duties of the day while Luna handles the matters of the night.
 
Considering Celestia run everything alone for 1000 years it’s no surprise Luna isn’t strong-arming into every role Celestia has.

@Background Pony  
I didn’t mean to imply that Luna’s life is terrible, I just don’t like the idea that Celestia has all the power and Luna is just a figurehead. Making Luna out to be inferior is a pet-peeve of mine.

@supermanhulkjesus  
>being luna is suffering

@Background Pony  
No, Celestia is now the one who everyone either forgets exists or assumes has no say in how her country is governed while Luna is now the one who is adored by all and assumed to be superior to her sister in every way.

So… Celestia is now the one that will stay up at night to party and hang out with her subjects in their dreams while Luna has to run the country and deal with all the political shit ?
 
…Celestia should be happy.

“Until the day is night and night becomes the day”

@Background Pony  
It’s hard to say.  
I just think it’s more hilarious that Celestia would be the one to freak the fuck out at possibly of being Luna.

@Fortune  
You sure it’s not the other way around?

I love how horrified Celestia is at becoming Luna. Luna’s just “This is strange, but I can work with this…”

Luna’s freaking out cuz her slippers clash with the new coat while Tia looks awesome

Why do I get the feeling he totally did this trying to actually do good?  
Discord: You deserve to sleep in once and a while, Celestia!  
Luna: Change us back!!!  
Discord: You’re not willing to get up early even once for the sake of your sister? And they say I’m selfish!

Actually, I see where he’s coming from. Nice contrast, ladies.~
