I kinda want to see a monster that eats cutie marks now (taking their talent away in the process)

What would it look like?

Noh, the Cutie Mark Stealer?

Evil angel? Intriguing.

@Evil Angel. So.... Lucifer?

I analyze "Geek Culture" here.

It depends on context of what the representation of dark and light are.

I usually identify Light as: physical light, life, positive emotions, or purification.
Darkness as: physical darkness, death, negative emotions and corruption.

With that said I really, really don't like light=HOLY and darkness= EVIL I prefer power to be power, and it depends on the user to shape it.

Celestia is the Big Good. If she has flaws, she doesn't show them publicly, having many centuries of practice appearing to be perfect.

Luna, on the other hand, suffers from a combination of being younger and less experienced, temporal displacement, and a pretty hefty inferiority complex. She's just more interesting in terms of known facts, which is what most people use to judge the characters. If you start delving into Celestia's character in terms of implications and WMG's, though, she immediately becomes far more interesting.

@ginger Well, if you like corruption of light (spoilers ahoy!), Palutena gets her soul stolen by a monster thingy and slaughters humans while Pit gets trapped as a ring. She gets better of course, but it's an interesting turn.

If you stare into the abyss long enough, it stares into you.

@Lurker and that's why.

I'm just NOT interested in thinking of the princesses as ordinary people. When Luna became more humanized, I just lost a lot of interest in her

#212537 Psi 001 Sun, 3rd Jun '12 7:00:47 PM

To be truthful, Luna was always intended to be a bit more humanized, her personality wasn't established much in the pilot, but it was obvious she was designed to have issues and humanized flaws rather than being an authority figure.

#212538 gingerninja 666 Sun, 3rd Jun '12 7:01:38 PM from Aboard The Damocles

Exactly why I didn't like her as much as Celestia right from the off.

Even her aesthetic.

Do I like Luna? Oh, hell yeah. I'm just not the massive fan that a lot of other people are

She didn't wanted to be an image of fear and dread. Kinda implies in the opener.

So who wants to delight in some evil?

@Ginger what part of Celestia's character you are interested the most?

#212541 Psi 001 Sun, 3rd Jun '12 7:04:23 PM

Eh, I kinda like characters in terms of quirk and depth. Hense why Celestia is in the 'okay but not notable' books with me (and likely why I've also been super edgy about AJ becoming more generic).

I HATE Flat Character or Every Man types more than ANYTHING.

Huh, color me surprised. There's a lot of characters you like that I can never tell most of the time.

I don't want to pick favorites. I'd rather see both of them. (Hint hint. Royal sisters episode. Get on it, producers.)

#212544 gingerninja 666 Sun, 3rd Jun '12 7:06:00 PM from Aboard The Damocles

@Fallen I LIKE the perfect persona she has. The feeling that she's flawed, but knows how to hide it.

THAT'S IT!!

If Blue's here, you're probably the only one who'll get this, but I prefer Celestia to Luna for pretty much the same reason I prefer Sansa to Arya in ASOIAF

Blissey...you dont know...he doesn't know....WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS THREAD ORIENTATION!? We could have had a full on code Epsilon Gingerrage. Who is responsible for handing out the "How to avoid exploding the thread" pamphlets..you know the ones, then one's I'm holding....right....now...oh that was me.....oops.

An orientation on thread exploding eh? So bad things may have happened had I disparaged AJ?

Good thing that would not have been an issue. I have a naturally delicate touch when it comes to things like this. A trait common to all Blisseys.

XP granted for befriending a giant magical spider!

Good, Blissey, good. But it's clear we need more stringent monitoring of thread safety employees all up in here.

#212549 Perpetual Lurker Sun, 3rd Jun '12 7:07:47 PM

@Ginger Then why do you have a problem with people feeling the same way about Celestia? No one hates her. They just value that is shown more than what has to be heavily extrapolated and theorized.

And for the record, I do like Celestia more than Luna, entirely because of how I've interpreted the small hints we have on their backstrory.

I hyperbolize as easily as I breath. and I'm negative by nature. Always assume that negative comments I make aren't as strong as they sound
