@nelord7000 She is talking about the voice that lives in her head with her, which is perfectly normal. My mommy says we all have one, isnt that right Pedro? :]
@ChocoboDreams You kdding? I hear luna has the most fanart of any of the ponies in this show! Too bad this is the second of the two episodes she appears in.
@SuperGreenSmartie I know, I just watched that episode maybe two days ago. I loved her in the first episode, but seeing the way they portrayed her in this episode was a real treat. Definitely one of my favorite episodes.
On another note, I officially became a brony about 2-3 weeks ago. Gave into the sheer amount of popularity the show has, and now I just can't get enough! I even ordered a Vinyl Scratch (DJ Pon-3) hoodie and matching t-shirt for Christmas.
@ChocoboDreams This is my favorite episode too, next to the one with rarity and her sister learning about the difficulty of compromise. I finished watching all of mlp friendship is magic the day before new years, although I haven't bought any MLP merchandise.
@SuperGreenSmartie I doubt I'll buy any more, it was really just a spur of the moment thing. I mean, they're obviously men's clothing too, it wasn't anything "fruity" or anything. :P
I did enjoy that episode with Rarity as well. I didn't like her much at first, but as each episode that featured her passed, I was drawn more and more to her character. She's definitely up there with my favorites now...but really, it's hard to say which my "least" favorite would be, since they're all so awesome!
@ChocoboDreams You're right, rarity seemed to become a better character as time went on, except for that episode where she went to canterlot and had trouble deciding on whether to stay true to ponyville or stay with the canterlot crowd. I mean, she's friends with a student of the PRINCESS, who is the reason she got to be in canterlot in the first place. Also, I think the vinyl scratch hoodie is a cool thing to buy, all things considered. If I ever get an MLP item, it'll be a R.D wristband.
@SuperGreenSmartie if ya buy ANYthing THAT HAS TO DO WITH INTERNET MEMES ,, then ur a desperate fuck that just means "HEY GUYS !!! IM A NO LIFER AUTIST !!!!! TO GET MORE FRIENDS I BUY ALL THESE BULLSHIT !!"
My head canon is still that Luna spent the entirety of season one crying in her room, slitting her pony wrists, whining about how 'nopony understands her'.
Get ready for war on December 28, 2011 at 7:30 PM CST! Every pony is encouraged to do their part! Post comments to our enemy, thumbs down their videos, flag them, and our own Gabe Newell shall drop the bombs! We have already out numbered the NCF in only 2 days and we are ready to end the NCF once and for all! I encourage every pony to fight by our side and report the NCF to YouTube staff! THE ORBITAL FRIENDSHIP CANNON AT VALVE IS CHARGING!
@dark7element I wouldn't be too happy my friend. The fanbase still has it's insidious claws in the show. Look at the newest episode, AJ being out of character and everyone focusing on a tiny scene with Derpy talking. I really hope that the show keeps it's independence and doesn't become a family guy esque joke reel.
i find it extremely odd that at the end of the second episode of the first season Luna was young like 10 years old. but now in episode i cant remember she is like 21 what happened?
@malevc I know about that, I find it still irritating to have to search like that (I'm very lazy). Anyways, real issue is not that the comment is hard to find, rather it's the funny fact that on every second pony video you get the urge to know what the top comment is replying to X)
@archer1949 Yes, that's right. "Thy" and "Thou" are the true informal forms of singular "You", but English stopped using those some time ago. In German, they have "Du" for "Thou" and "Sie" for "You". They conjugate the second person informal verbs with "st" on the end, which is what Luna does, and do nothing to the formal singilar and plural form of "Sie". ("machen" becomes "machst" or "machen", as in, "Du machst es" and, "Sie machen es", which both mean "You (are) do(ing) it.")
@Veresnau this explains Photo Finish's accent, there is clearly a teutonic region somewhere near Equestria. Probably just west of Brussia (when you get that joke...)
@archer1949 it's "kids show" olde english, also, much of the works Shakespeare either "borrowed" from or alluded to is in late middle english. the royal we was also established during the middle english period, but yeah, Celestia and Luna don't look like Geat nobles, so you're more correct than not. If you get the "Geat" reference you pass the old english test with flying colours.
@archer1949 Further expanding on language misconceptions, "ye" was not pronounced with a "Y" sound at any point in modern English history! This misconception was derived from the character thorn (þ), which was used to make the "Th" sound. It was commonly replaced with a Y however, as imported typewriters did not have the thorn character. Thus, "Ye" was actually pronounced "The", however the evolution of the English language rendered the thorn archaic, thus "Ye" with a "Y" was born.
@Kalmfox172 I knew she wasn't going to be that weak and vulnerable. She's related to Celestia and is one of the rulers of Equestria. Why would she be a delicate victim?
@jmerridew124 That is true. I didn't really expect her to be cutesy wootsie and vulnerable d'aww-nerable (I'm really not good at this). I didn't expect THE ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE either.
Fanon "Wuna" is cute but kinda boring and very un funny. Fanfic writers seem to forget that this show is basically a funny animal cartoon with musical comedy trappings, not freaking soap opera or a Tolkein High Fantasy epic.
@archer1949 Couldn't agree more. On top of that, she's a princess. She is a sovereign body who controls the goddamn moon. I want to see her engage in some dialogue with Celestia. It would really flesh out both characters a lot.
@archer1949 The point of fanon isn't *always* to make it as close to the show as possible. It can if it wants to, but for the most part, it's about putting a different spin on it. Maybe that's not your thing, and I can respect that, but it's a little pretentious of you to denounce all fanfic writers like that, especially since there are a lot of the fan-made literary works out there that are excellently made.
I'm a little surprised that something like this is a top comment.
@archer1949 Aside from the first episode, mind. Or the first episode of season two. Beyond that, it's a funny animal cartoon with musical comedy trappings that also happens to sport almost every monster from a D&D handbook.
@archer1949 I like how this dude paints the term 'fanfic writers' with one brush. I just find it ironic that this is coming from a brony - you know, victims of such similarly insecure remarks? I don't even write fanfiction, but even I can see the blindness in this statement... It pains me to know that I'm a part of this community, really.
@roflmao88 As much as I want to agree with the comment, understand the individual always get drowned out by the undesirable general crowd. ALWAYS. Just how it is. Maybe if this weren't the case, generalizations like the one you listed (aimed towards bronies) or the one he's painting (aimed towards FF writers) wouldn't be much of an issue. This coming from a past fanfic-er.
@BIGBLUBLUR I can't remember exactly when I threw my hands up and gave up on fanfic in general. Was it around the time LOTR sites were flooded by blatant self-insert fanfics which the blatant Mary Sue protagonist hooked up with Legolas?
Or perhaps it all the creepy Spike (vampire, not dragon)/Dawn shipper fics?
Maybe it was the trend of turning Ron Weasley into a Death Eater and having him try to rape Hermione only to be rescued buy the newly contrite and awesome Draco Malfoy.
@archer1949 Wwwwell, it depends on the fanfiction. For instance, I like the Luna for "Through The Eyes Of Another Pony" more than the canon one, but I prefer the canon Luna over the cutesy-wutesy fanon Luna.
@archer1949 But sometimes the non-MLP-ish fan-fics are even more fun to read then Canon. But I totally agree with you about Canon Luna, she's the best Luna! :3
@archer1949 ah, but that gives the series more spice!
I honestly am still fuzzy what the hell Fanon is (like fan canon?), but fanfics go completely out of the way of the story, and give even more personality to specific characters (although it is not meant to be taken literately)
That's why EqD hosts fanfics. They said themselves "we only get 22 minutes of pony every week...so actual official content is slim". It gives more of what you like meaning ,not to alter canon.
@whatayaDO543 There's a lot more depth to the show than you're giving it credit for. It's far from a soap opera, but it's not a 'funny animal cartoon show' either.
Ok so I went on a first related video spree. I started with a Ray William Jonson video to this ....... WTF?

She is not speaking in Old English!
The "Thy" and "Thou" stuff are just archaic forms of Early Modern English. Used in the 15th Century.
REAL Old English (or Anglo Saxon) is about 500 years earlier.
Here's a sample of true Old English:
"Hwæt! We Gar-Dena in Gear-dagum
þeod-cyninga þrym gefrunon
hu ða æþlingas ellen fremedon"
Basically, if you can understand it, it's Modern English. Even Shakespeare.

But it is fun when it becomes so due to someone skilled in the art no?

@archer1949 The point of fanon isn't *always* to make it as close to the show as possible. It can if it wants to, but for the most part, it's about putting a different spin on it. Maybe that's not your thing, and I can respect that, but it's a little pretentious of you to denounce all fanfic writers like that, especially since there are a lot of the fan-made literary works out there that are excellently made.
I'm a little surprised that something like this is a top comment.

@archer1949 Aside from the first episode, mind. Or the first episode of season two. Beyond that, it's a funny animal cartoon with musical comedy trappings that also happens to sport almost every monster from a D&D handbook.

@archer1949 Eh? Not all 'fanfic writers' are like that. Awl dat prejudice.

@roflmao88 Eeyup. Most people that write/read fanfictions are just waiting for new episodes to come out anyway.

@archer1949 I like how this dude paints the term 'fanfic writers' with one brush. I just find it ironic that this is coming from a brony - you know, victims of such similarly insecure remarks? I don't even write fanfiction, but even I can see the blindness in this statement... It pains me to know that I'm a part of this community, really.
Cut the hypocrisy, dude.

@roflmao88 As much as I want to agree with the comment, understand the individual always get drowned out by the undesirable general crowd. ALWAYS. Just how it is. Maybe if this weren't the case, generalizations like the one you listed (aimed towards bronies) or the one he's painting (aimed towards FF writers) wouldn't be much of an issue. This coming from a past fanfic-er.
What I'm saying is it doesn't come from nowhere.

@BIGBLUBLUR I can't remember exactly when I threw my hands up and gave up on fanfic in general. Was it around the time LOTR sites were flooded by blatant self-insert fanfics which the blatant Mary Sue protagonist hooked up with Legolas?
Or perhaps it all the creepy Spike (vampire, not dragon)/Dawn shipper fics?
Maybe it was the trend of turning Ron Weasley into a Death Eater and having him try to rape Hermione only to be rescued buy the newly contrite and awesome Draco Malfoy.

@archer1949 The point is that there is no fandom out there that fanfic can't completely ruin.

@archer1949 ...you're looking at the wrong fanon, methinks.

@archer1949 Wwwwell, it depends on the fanfiction. For instance, I like the Luna for "Through The Eyes Of Another Pony" more than the canon one, but I prefer the canon Luna over the cutesy-wutesy fanon Luna.
Opinions, opinions.

@archer1949 But sometimes the non-MLP-ish fan-fics are even more fun to read then Canon. But I totally agree with you about Canon Luna, she's the best Luna! :3

@archer1949 ah, but that gives the series more spice!
I honestly am still fuzzy what the hell Fanon is (like fan canon?), but fanfics go completely out of the way of the story, and give even more personality to specific characters (although it is not meant to be taken literately)
That's why EqD hosts fanfics. They said themselves "we only get 22 minutes of pony every week...so actual official content is slim". It gives more of what you like meaning ,not to alter canon.

This is a funny cartoon animal show, not a soap opera.
It's like putting politics in Valve's Team Fortress 2's plot. I mean really?
Why is this so hard for some people to understand?!

@whatayaDO543 There's a lot more depth to the show than you're giving it credit for. It's far from a soap opera, but it's not a 'funny animal cartoon show' either.
