Now Make Your Choice, Before You Step Off That Log

Shining Armor isn't concerned with bravado, posturing or archaic traditions. However, his responsibilities are quite real, and they are a summation of those shared by all able-bodied colts, throughout all of Equestria.

We all have our responsibilities, along with our rights, and not all of those responsibilities are pleasant. Pipsqueak does not find himself in this situation because he is being unfairly singled out, or for no reasons at all. If some burdens are not shared equally, everypony loses. And, this does not involve the mares, this time they're relying on us. Will you join us or not?

And now for the actual new art! Here’s the Lunaflashburst family concept art! Notes/HCs under the cut!

💙 Queen Luna - Younger sister of Queen Celestia. Wife of Queen Consort Sunburst and Queen Consort Flash Sentry. Mother of Princess Luster Dawn, Princess Rishima Ganymede, Princex Bailey Beads, Prince Morpheus Moonbow and Princess Arcturus Apogee (step). Ruler of Equestria. Moon Deity. Reformed/Former Villain. Dream Walker/Protector of the Dream Realm. Has autism. Royal Batpony Alicorn (with lunacorn attributes). Nonbinary (She/they/it mainly), Demisexual Bi. 💙 Used to be very awkward around Sunburst and Flash, but is much more confident about giving and receiving affection from them nowadays. I like the idea that Luna went into Sunburst's dreams one night because he was stressing about asking Flash out on a date, and that became the catalyst for all 3 of them getting together (Luna gave Sunburst advice, maybe even hinted that Flash was having similar dreams about him, would check in with him/visit his dreams a lot after, Flash eventually transfers to Luna's Night Guard, etc). Still struggles with the guilt of turning into Nightmare Moon and the resentment they used to feel for Celestia, but has managed to cope by discussing their feelings with their sibling. Revered by bat ponies--I'm thinking Luna was either born with batpony genes or gained them post-Nightmare Moon. I also like the idea of Celestia and Luna both being kinda cryptid-esque, just on different ends of the spectrum. Like, Luna is very obviously a creature of the night and resembles a vampire, whereas Celestia kinda resembles a biblical angel/an eldritch light apparition. 💙 Queen Consort Sunburst - Younger brother of Princess Consort Sunset Shimmer. Husband of Queen Luna and Queen Consort Flash Sentry. Father of Princess Luster Dawn, Princess Rishima Ganymede, Princex Bailey Beads (step), Prince Morpheus Moonbow (step) and Princess Arcturus Apogee. Ruler of Equestria. Royal Wizard and Crystaller of the Crystal Empire. Magic Advisor. Vice Principal of the School of Friendship. Has anxiety and a magic disability. Unicorn (with heliacorn attributes). Demiboy (He/they), Pan. 💙 Probably the first of the trio to gain feelings--he always kinda had a crush on Luna and he fell for Flash the first time he saw him. They actually dated Shining Armor and Princess Cadance for a short while, and the three still share a fond relationship--Flurry adores him! Still besties with Starlight--they've managed to work things out considering her possessiveness of him but they're cool now. Although he's very talented magically, he has a horn disability, the effects of which range from exhaustion after performing intense spells to an inability to cast them at all. Despite this, he became a magic advisor for Princess Flurry Heart and one of his own kids, Princess Luster Dawn. Has a complicated relationship with his sister but it's much better than it was. 💙 Queen Consort Flash Sentry - Older brother of First Base. Husband of Queen Luna and Queen Consort Sunburst. Father of Princess Luster Dawn (step), Princess Rishima Ganymede (step), Princex Bailey Beads, Prince Morpheus Moonbow and Princess Arcturus Apogee. Ruler of Equestria. Member of the Lunar Night Guard, former member of the Crystal Royal Guard. Hobbyist Guitarist/Singer. Pegasus. Trans Stallion (He/him), Bi. 💙 Don't really got a lot to add here! He's a chill himbo who sings and adores his family. Dated Twilight for a brief period and they remain friends to this day, especially since Sunburst's sister is married to her. Didn't show it here but he loves himself some makeup :] 💙 Princess Luster Dawn - Daughter of Queen Luna and Queen Consort Sunburst, stepdaughter of Queen Consort Flash Sentry. Older sister of Princess Rishima Ganymede, older half-sister of Princex Bailey Beads, Prince Morpheus Moonbow and Princess Arcturus Apogee. Princess of Equestria. Heir to the Moon (?). Personal Student of Twilight Sparkle. Archivist for the Canterlot Library. Has autism, anxiety and a magic disability. Common Batpony Alicorn (with lunacorn/heliacorn attributes). Bigender (Any pronouns), Lesbian. 💙 Likes studying/researching, perfecting her magic, comic books, debating and coffee. In MLP Venomverse (and Oresteiaverse at least), Luster here is a Lunaflash NG! I thought it'd be cool if she kinda resembled Auntie Celestia :] He's a Common Alicorn, meaning he only has one pair of wings and the magical prowess of an average unicorn, although in Luster's case he's a lil less than average. I'm thinking Luster inherited Sunburst's magic disability, which makes it even harder for them to cast spells. Dawnie is very self-conscious of the fact that they aren't as good with magic as their siblings/cousins, especially since they're the only alicorn child, and it's because of this that they spend most of their time studying and trying to improve their skills. This is why Luster seems so antisocial and against making friends; they're just so focused on trying to perfect their magic. Twilight decides to take her niece under her wing because she sees a lot of herself in her, which is how she becomes Twi's student. She's very bright but easily-aggravated, and feels most relaxed when she's alone organizing the archives of the local library. Doesn't feel a strong connection to the moon and seems to be drawn more to the sun. I'm fond of the idea that one of Luna's kids eventually becomes heir to the sun, and one of Celestia's kids to the moon, so Luster will probably end up taking that role. Special talent is archiving artifacts/documents! 💙 Princess Rishima Ganymede - Daughter of Queen Luna and Queen Consort Sunburst, stepdaughter of Queen Consort Flash Sentry. Younger sister of Princess Luster Dawn, older half-sister of Princex Bailey Beads, Prince Morpheus Moonbow and Princess Arcturus Apogee. Princess of Equestria. Heir to the Moon. Oceanographer. Equestrian Diplomat to Seaquestria. Has autism. Batpony Pegasus (with lunacorn attributes). Cis Mare (She/her), Sapphic. 💙 Likes protecting ocean creatures, documenting the tides, sea glass jewelry, swimming, yoga and playing the ukulele. Looks annoyed but is really just vibing, livens up when she's around the ocean/visiting Seaquestria. A lot of Luna NGs have connections to the moon/space, which makes sense obviously, but I haven't seen a lot of Luna NGs who have ties to the ocean (especially since the moon affects the tides), so I thought it'd be cool to do that with Rishima. She constantly visits Seaquestria not only to discuss politics with Queen Novo, but to meet with the locals and hang out. Wears one of the magical necklaces given to hippogriffs and seaponies--it's one of her favorite possessions and is almost always on her person. Probably the only well-adjusted kid other than Arcturus, and the one most likely to inherit the throne outside of Luster. 💙 Princex Bailey Beads - Child of Queen Luna and Queen Consort Flash Sentry, stepchild of Queen Consort Sunburst. Younger half-sibling of Princess Luster Dawn and Princess Rishima Ganymede, twin sibling of Prince Morpheus Moonbow, older half-sibling of Princess Arcturus Apogee. Princex of Equestria. Heir to the Moon. Lead Singer of The Agoonies. Roller Derby Player. Batpony Unicorn (with lunacorn/heliacorn attributes). Genderqueer (They/them, Xe/xem), Queer. 💙 Likes using the royal 'we' every chance they get, body modifications, punk rock/horrorcore music, parkour, billiards, roller derby and their jean vest. Probably the most outgoing Lunaflashburst kid alongside Arcturus. They're also the most obnoxious of the bunch, and the meanest--they especially love to pick on Luster. Bailey is a rough and brash pony and likes being that way; basically they know they're the shit and will rub it in everyone's faces. Has tons of piercings and body mods--it's not shown here but xe actually has a split tongue! Is the lead singer of a band called The Agoonies (meant to be a mashup of 'agony' and 'goonie', it's a placeholder name atm but I'm kinda digging it), Galah Fallstreak Dash might be a part of it too but idk yet. I'm thinking their voiceclaim is Rico Nasty, although I also really like Adam Lambert (if only for his high notes), so lemme know which one y'all think fits best! I actually made a playlist full of songs I think Bailey would jam to, feel free to check it out here. In terms of what The Agoonies music sounds like? Probably a combo of Twisted Sister, 1-800-PAIN, Black Dresses, Rob Zombie, Kensuke Ushio's OST for the Devilman Crybaby series, System of a Down and Three Days Grace--basically music your neighbor would hate you for blasting late at night. Bailey could care less about the throne and is more focused on having fun, much to the chagrin of their dads (and annoyance of their mother). Thinks Morpheus is too soft for his own good but would strangle anyone who'd dare insult him. Kinda channeled David from Lost Boys into their design, namely the mullet/vampire teeth. On a low T dose for a more androgynous look. Also can you tell I was watching Daredevil around the time I was working on their design? Colored lenses give me gender envy ok. Is known as "Biohazard Bitch" on the roller derby rink and is feared by many. Special talent is singing! 💙 Prince Morpheus Moonbow - Son of Queen Luna and Queen Consort Flash Sentry, stepson of Queen Consort Sunburst. Younger half-brother of Princess Luster Dawn and Princess Rishima Ganymede, twin brother of Princex Bailey Beads, older half-brother of Princess Arcturus Apogee. Prince of Equestria. Heir to the Moon. Dream Walker/Protector of the Dream Realm. Has anxiety and insomnia. Earth Pony (with lunacorn attributes). Cis Stallion (He/him), Gay. 💙 Likes the night, cozy beds, protecting his subjects in their sleep, hot cocoa, poetry and meditating. Fun fact, Morpheus was originally a unicorn, and a very grumpy 'bah humbug' one at that! I thought it'd be more interesting if the only one in the family that had a strong tie to the Dream Realm was an earth pony, so I scrapped him being a unicorn and made him more friendly/anxious than disgruntled old man if that makes sense. Feels a lot of pressure to do things right and keep his subjects safe in their dreams, so he often forgets to sleep himself. Looks up to Luna but has a lot of confidence issues, and wonders why he was the only kid who could tap into their parent's dream walking abilities. Secretly feels he isn't good enough but tries his best regardless. 💙 Princess Arcturus Apogee - Child of Queen Consort Flash Sentry and Queen Consort Sunburst, stepchild of Queen Luna. Younger half-sibling of Princess Luster Dawn, Princess Rishima Ganymede, Princex Bailey Beads and Prince Morpheus Moonbow. Princess of Equestria. Heir to the Moon. Astrologist. Unicorn (with heliacorn attributes). Agender (She/her mainly), Omnisexual Aro. 💙 Likes apple juice, snuggling, stargazing, ladybugs, antiquing, gardening, axe throwing and mathematics. Looks very naive and innocent but is actually a huge chaotic ball of energy that can curse like a sailor. Absolutely adores Bailey's music and is probably their biggest fan. Is very close with their cousins Princess Antlion (Chryslestia), Princess Ruby Raspberry Chocolate (ShiningDance) and Princex Delmarvel Roman Candle (Discotempsunlight, Tempset). Unlike her eldest sibling, Luster Dawn, Arcturus is pretty good at magic, so there is a bit of strain between the two of them because of that. However, Archie never teases Luster for their struggles with magic and encourages them to do their best. Has a cape just like Papa Sunburst. Will probably eventually have a queerplatonic relationship with someone in the Oresteiaverse cast (not sure who yet though). Also, her colors come straight from this color palette taken straight from the 1982 The Thing.
