CELESTIA AND LUNA DOODLE...little babis...

i redid my luna redesign hehe

[teabrewinacup]

Another redesign!!! After the moon, I brought the sun! Ok so I have a BIG ramble abt my Tia, forgive the grammar since I have to type out the whole text again after my phone ran out of battery during my first attempt n I‘m tired (´°̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥｀)

- Hear me out, since my Tia has a bit more flaws than the show one!

After Luna was banished, the council including Starswirl forced Celestia to take over the control over the moon and act like Luna never existed. Since the show hinted, that the tale of the two sisters was rlly just seen as a „fictional” tale, I like to build on the idea that most ponies really didn’t know that Celestia had a sister. That’s why my Celestia’s cutie make was warped when the power was forced upon her, which led her to grow deep hatred against the council, her people and herself. My Celestia has become more apathetic. She doesn’t see her subjects as respectable beings, she sees them as baggage. Sth that took away her sister, mocking her by telling spooky tales or celebrating degrading holidays, without her being able to say anything, as she had to uphold history. She resents them and only wants to use them as tools to get her sis back, cut to the elements of Harmony.

Since the whole Sunset Shimmer thing happened, I can imagine that Celestia must have took in plenty of students over the years, not to empower them but to train them as her tool. They must be obedient, competent and have the talent for the Elements! If they fail, they’re immediately dropped. Once she found the perfect tool, Twilight Sparkle, she used her to get her sister back. When Luna came back, Celestia was overjoyed but still kept at bay. That’s my reason why the princesses never do anything in the show haha, Celestia could care less what happens to her subjects, as long as her sister ist safe. That’s why she tries to keep them away from major threats, like Discord. Twilight literally only made friends like some weeks ago, now she’s supposed to be ready to fight CHAOS itself??? Nahh. Celestia just wanted to keep Luna away from trouble, maybe fearing anything negative might trigger another Nightmare Moon incident (falling back to bad habits of underestimating her sister).

Over time, Luna shows Celestia the reasons why she should trust more and appreciate the life around her. I like the idea of Celestia actually having a process of well - learning that friendship is magic herself haha. Twilights letters def help. Long ramble ik, but I’d love to give Tia more depth even if it firstly puts her in a bad light.

While I find the au idea of an evil Celestia fun, I wanted to go more into the effects the sister conflict had in the two princesses. No one was truly evil, just a symptom of their experiences. Since the show doesn’t really go into the consequences of the banishment (including itself) I really wanted to explore it more, even if it may put them in a bad light first!

Celestia and Luna Redesign!

merely because I was bored, and that this was also put on hold for months- I'm deciding to post it now, though!

The brightest light in the daytime sky, and the comforting glow of the night, these two sisters work together as one.

Celestia is the more talkative of the two, and is often seen with her eyes closed shut- a way to symbolize that she puts her trust in Luna to keep watch as she speaks her wisdom.

Luna is quieter, but has taken on the role of being the voice of Twilight's mentor. Her words speak of truth, often having her perceived as "harsh" and "stone-cold" when she refuses to speak white lies.

While the two have been in harmony, they have had their times of weakness- Causing one or the other to split away from their combined form, the dance between the moon and the sun ceasing. The sisters have forgiven each other, but they remain ever vigilant- always watching each other's backs and minds.

Nightmare Moon is formed through Luna's perception of her sister becoming warped, leading to her becoming paranoid that Celestia is draining her power in order to keep the sun in the sky longer. Luna's paranoia becomes so intense that she forces the split, her distress leading to her becoming Nightmare Moon. With that change, the moon becomes locked within the sky, creating a constant twilight as the sun is unable to rise, leading to distressed animals and famine. The mane six are the ones to bring Luna out of her paranoia, Celestia becoming too focused with trying to restore the order of day and night to help her sister.

Daybreaker is formed through Celestia's power being challenged and distorted through Discord, afflicting her mind, much like her sister. Instead of paranoia, she's full of internalized wrath, for what her sister caused over "some stupid thoughts"Daybreaker, like Nightmare Moon, locks the sun in the middle of the sky, making night impossible and leading to drought in equestria. Luna eventually breaks through her sister's anguish and anger, breaking Discord's influence on her, forgiving her sister at the same time for putting their home first before her. This process creates a solar eclipse.

J4 SELF ENTRY 27: Celestia has seemed closed off. She won't answer any questions about the mystery mare that stood in place of Nightmare Moon. She gets this far-away look. I am beginning to wonder if I have made a far more terrible mistake than I had initially thought.
