cider float 2,539 December 14, 2016 Share December 14, 2016 Though she didn't will it she got the attention of a lil colt named Pipsqueak who really liked her. She also gets involved with the CMC, I believe she got an episode for each and every one of the three. So why is she so willing to step out of the shadows to hang with the colts and fillies but not in other matters with adult ponies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyDashie 1,847 December 14, 2016 Share December 14, 2016 didnt she appear in starlight's dream in the season finale? 20% cooler in 10 seconds flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,869 December 14, 2016 Share December 14, 2016 didnt she appear in starlight's dream in the season finale? Yes. Yes she did. A huge scene that beautifully connected both characters. I do see where the OP is coming from. The depiction of children and Luna makes sense because we associate children with dreams more frequently. Also, it was a good connective thread for three CMC eps. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Piranha 29,453 December 14, 2016 Share December 14, 2016 Yes. Yes she did. A huge scene that beautifully connected both characters. I do see where the OP is coming from. The depiction of children and Luna makes sense because we associate children with dreams more frequently. Also, it was a good connective thread for three CMC eps. Maybe her slight childish endearment displayed in Luna Eclipse gives her affinity with foals . Also, I'm not sure she's quite adult yet Sig by Discords Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifty 249 December 14, 2016 Share December 14, 2016 (edited) The writers wanted to elaborate Luna's character, because she is popular in the fandom. It's irrelevant, that Celestia would have been much more fitting based on her more motherly character. It's about which character shall be developed and which shall not.

GrimGrimoire 4,973 December 14, 2016 Share December 14, 2016 Perhaps because children are more receptive to her? All the adults say they trust her and have forgiven her.. but have they? Does she fully believe they have...? Children, despite the stories are not nearly as fearful of her as the adults were, and were much more open to forgiving her. I do sort of believe this was addressed in Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep when she was battling the Tantabus and revealed her fears of being a failure and not deserving of the townsfolk's trust. Since that episode we have yet to see if she prefers to be around children more still. Also, children are the ones more likely to deal with difficult nightmares, and more likely to receive visits from her on that basis alone. 2 ~No profound statement needed~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider float 2,539 December 15, 2016 Author Share December 15, 2016 I wonder what the CMC's adopted mothers think about Luna just sneaking out of nowhere into each of the CMC's presence when they're alone and taking them on adventures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvadel 1,393 December 15, 2016 Share December 15, 2016 Even in the fandom, yes it is the children, the sweet naive innocent children, that she has an affinity for protecting. Silvadel, the Pegasus of Insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt her nose disappearing constantly is a sign she "nose" what's good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,960 December 15, 2016 Share December 15, 2016 As a form of character development, she was able to take a similar role to Celestia with her guiding the CMC, but in a little bit more direct circumstance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,980 December 16, 2016 Share December 16, 2016 Luna has a child-like personality to me, or at least some child-like aspects, she seems to connect to younger ponies more which is perfectly fine. Also, she probably helps them more because they are most likely the ones that have these internal conflicts within their own dreams and with Luna being the grandmaster of the dreamscape, that works out.

sweetolebob18 728 December 16, 2016 Share December 16, 2016 Speaking as a Baby Boomer in my 60s who never had kids, adults that don't hang around kids much tend to see them in 1 of 2 ways. One is "annoying little twerps that don't know how to behave properly because their parents have lost all control" That is, an unfunny Bart Simpson. The other is to like them for their innocence & enthusiasm. As someone once said "If we didn't think kids were cute, we would kill them & eat them" Obviously, Luna falls into this group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
