I wonder what touching Celestia's & Luna's Manes would feel like...

[ThePwnyBrony 23]

They're so wavy and magical looking, I can't help, but wonder what they'd feel like if I could touch them :3

[pyro pie 68]

I think it would probably feel like putting your hand in loose jello, or maybe a vat of marshmallow. I can't help but see that their manes look almost liquid, and I think that if I stuck my hand in it, it would be all wet with magic-mane stuff when I pulled it out.

 

Gross, but cool.

[Page.Turner 940]

It would be like marshmallows. Why? Because of reasons! And because it was what my friend shouted out immediately when I said the title of this thread out loud. XD

[Regality 233]

I hear it feels like slipping your hands through waves of gentle silk undulating past your palms, with each flow sending chills down your spine.

I don't think that they are tangible, and that my hand might just pass through. I've always imagined touching their manes to be like putting your hand into a very colorful fire. Despite the burns, it would be totally worth it.

[Zerul 554]

Something tells me that their manes are intangible.Although I could imagine it being like running your hands through a gust of wind you can feel it's silky presence but ever so slightly.I think I love Luna now.Damn it now I'm so curious on what it's like..

you got me wondering. it wouldnt be suprising if they were intangible, or like soft and silky... pretty cool

[OkBuddy 586]

I always think of their manes to be smooth. Luna's mane seems like a portal to space.... but maybe it could just be her mane.

[Starshine 16,334]

Quoting myself from an old topic

 

The funny thing is, NMM's mane was ethereal enough to flows straight through her helmet

 

But Luna's mane was corporeal enough so Pipsqueak could pull it at the Luna Eclipsed

 

The big questions is: Is that thing even solid?

Just skip to 19.39, and you will hear Luna's mane will go 'squeak' when pip pulled it. My bet is her mane is just a bundle of very light hair that blows with the tiniest wind. Maybe it made of plastic-like substance.

[vinolent cupcakes 24]

I think touching their manes would feel akin to rubbing a kittens belly while sitting on a couch wrapped up in a blanket with some hot cocoa

[NavelColt 22,881]

I feel like it would be similar to mist, but that was pretty much disproved when Pip basically tugged on Luna's mane successfully in Nightmare Night. So my guess is they are soft and wavy, but are tangible and solid. Maybe like silk or some other soft material.

[TheFabulousPony 102]

What it feels like to chew 5 gum....haha

Nah I would imagine it would be like.. a cross between mist and silk... just like amazing.

[pactor 29]

For some weird reason I imagine their hair as a type of plastic wrap. Kinda like when you put your hand inside a balloon.

[Dusty Soul 2,611]

By the looks of Pipsqueak pulling Luna's mane, it looks to be like gelatinlike substance. I don't know why, but I think that'd be awesome.

[Psych Ward 377]

I think it would be some kind of silky material or like someone said, marshmallows.

 

My friend said it would be the softest thing in the world.

[BlimpAtomic 16]

Celestia's mane looks like a thin wave of air. Luna's mane, on the other hand, looks more like a thick liquid rather than anything else. Probably feels like putting your hand into a void or something.

[Away 2,077]

I'm not an expert in science or anything but what if... just what if... their manes were actually made out of an entirely different state of matter from the ones we know already?

[Hypereddie 56]

Celestia's and Luna's manes are actually comprised of dark matter that only cartoon ponies can touch.

 

If you were to touch it, the feeling would be so painful, our minds can't even comprehend it.

 

...or it could just be silky..

[Sweet Dreams 1,893]

Luna's must be somewhat solid, seeing as Pipsqueak pulled on it in Luna Eclipsed. I'd imagine them being a kind of silky substance that blows in the wind easily.

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

I always thought it was pretty obvious

 

Celestia's mane feels like cotton candy and Luna's mane feels like jello.

 

Because reasons.

What if they were like flubber...now I'm really scared o,o I would imagine it feeling like a plastic bag filled with that warm jell o stuff, but I dont know how something as heavy as that would move so lightly...who are we kidding, its magic man...MAGIC. 

[Sunny Fox 5,952]

I'd say it would probably just feels like really silky hair... When Pip pulls on Luna's mane in the episode "Luna Eclipsed", it acted as normal hair would.

we've always felt like it feels like mercury which last time we messed with that stuff it felt cold and the fact that it fells like water without the wet

[fluffpudge 148]

Hmm..never thought about it? I imagine it'd feel like any other pony's mane, 'cept maybe softer and silkier? I think the only difference is that a sort of magical aura surrounds it, maybe giving it a sort of glow unlike any other pony's mane..

 

But overall, I think it's just normal horse hair with an aura around it to give it any other 'special effects' such as the stars in Luna's mane.

[Callisto 1,877]

As another person mentioned, Luna's would have to be solid, since Pipskueak pulled it. I'd imagine it's just regular hair, and Celestia and Luna just makd it look like that for show.
