It's amazing how I've gone from "Meh, don't care about toys" to "OMG DO WANT!"

Besides this little catering to the fans really warrants support.

I'm jealous of your talent! Great work.

As for Trixie...that's going to be incredibly difficult for me to resist getting her...and I know if/when I do, I'll want to get Lyra and the Mane 6. I still haven't gotten any of those figures yet due to the hairstyles. Would need one of my friends to fix/style them for me.

I wonder if there will be someone who'll create clothes for Trixie and sell them...

It's as if Ponygaf is slowly creating more artists on top of the already existing artists, from this chain of events I can deduce that if i'm looking to step up my own skills drawing ponies is like the unexpected gateway to self improvement.

Jhonen Vasquez, creator of Invader Zim, also endorses it as a path to gaining recognition as an artist.

If you, as a nobody, create your own completely original IP and toss it on the Internet, nobody will care.

But if you create something based on something that's already popular, you give people a reason to look at your work, and if they like it, it's usually because they like your unique take on that work, which means that you are genuinely being appreciated for your art. Even if you're afraid you weren't being completely original.

And once you've built a base of interested fans, then you can show them your completely original works, and they might appreciate them. Or you can just stick with giving your fans what they want. Or some combination.

So watching Luna Eclipsed, and going back to Canterlot Wedding...

I wonder if Luna lives on the Moon. In both episodes her appearance was pretty much appearing to come down from the Moon.

Luna was under house arrest for 1000 years.

I'm thinking she lives in a separate castle (perhaps the one in the Everfree Forest) But chose to "guard the night" in Canterlot due to the changeling threat.

Can't remember if I said so here, but I always thought the reason behind Luna's absence in the Wedding episode was that she had something like a sensory deprivation chamber that she sleeps in to block out the sun and outside noise. I know when I work a night shift and have to sleep in the day, I like to shut everything out as best I can.

I mentioned this on Ponibooru and someone cried foul saying "Why would she have that? It would just remind her of her imprisonment."

I always imagined Luna/NMM was sorta forced into a sort of magic stasis/sleep, not a day-by-day house arrest.

Oh and wonderful artwork guys! I'm so jelly.

Luna/Celestia's home prior to the Nightmare Moon incident was the Castle of the Pony Sisters, which became a ruin in the middle of the Everfree Forest. That was her home. The first place NMM went after her release was that castle.

Celestia moved out to Canterlot and surrounded herself with weaponized Unicorn Ponies like Shining Armor because apparently she's not as tough as we were led to believe, and she let the Castle of the Pony Sisters fall to ruin. Luna has no real connection to Canterlot or it's army. She took the night guard position during the crisis because it was the right thing to do, and because ponies were awake. She wasn't really using the telescope to keep a lookout for enemies (well, maybe a little), she was using it to watch hunky Canterlot soldiers (and Twilight) run around and do "awake" things.

If Luna slept in Canterlot, she'd probably either be on some sort of couch or temporary bed in Celestia's private chambers, or some unattached "guest quarters" usually reserved for VIPs. I doubt they built Luna a soundproofed/darkened room, and I really doubt Luna would sleep in Celestia's royal bed while Celestia wasn't using it (that'd be too weird and creepy).

Celestia seems to have dominion over the Sun and can enter it (I'm certain she was simply hiding inside the Sun during the pilot, not trapped there), and Luna can do the same with the Moon. It's not Luna's home, probably more like an office, and it was converted into a prison cell to trap her for ages, but it belongs to her and it's the only option she's got left if she doesn't want to stay indefinitely as a "guest" in her sister's new house.

I would like to think that Luna's new late night hobby is that she's performing a long-overdue restoration on the Castle of the Pony Sisters, which, since Celestia moved out, is now all Luna's. That's a much grander pursuit than soundproofing a room in Canterlot, which would strike me as a waste of resources. She can sleep in the Moon or mooch around Canterlot until it's ready.

Hasbro needs to make a Prince Luna's Castle Ruins playset. With both a Luna figure and a Nightmare Moon figure. Epic.

Finally caught up with all of the episodes. Finale would have been better if Cadence and Shining were given more characterization and if the Queen was given more backstory. Other than that pretty good.

Also, apparently prior to coming to Ponyville Shining was Twilight's only friend? Poor Spike.

EDIT: And Twilight took the revelation that her brother was apparently banging her babysitter pretty well.

That assumes that Canterlot hasn't been around since Luna's banishment. For all we know she's had a room there since her Banishment. And Celestia and Luna hace hot chocolate during the winter.
