So how about that Luna, huh? I hear she's a happy emo revolutionary who loves an abacus and wears socks and is too out of touch with society to talk to any of her millions of friends. And she may or may not be Trixie. If I were the writers of the show, I would be sweating bullets waiting for the audience reaction to the return of the character. I have no doubt they have something awesome planned, but Luna has become like unto a force of nature, and I'm not sure 'something awesome' is actually going to be enough anymore! Here's a little bit of exploration about how that might play out by Blade-zulah, which is sure to make you laugh if your vocal chords are capable of making the sounds.
And then to close things out, a little ditty by Krekka01 featuring Snails attempting to make a Spongebob Squarepants reference. Lyra is not amused. Poor Lyra. Speaking about characters with an impossible fanon to live up to... *cough*

ReplyDeleteAlso, Lyra-Ward <3
first not working
ReplyDeletePhoe, it's Seth's job to break links, not yours. ^_^
ReplyDeleteTop picture, she does nothing!
ReplyDeleteAbandon ship!
Is the first picture suppose to link to a comic or just be that picture?
ReplyDelete:D
ReplyDeleteMy face is like Twilight's face.
ReplyDeleteFirst link is broken, please fix.
ReplyDeleteSecond: Why is everyone bipedal all of a sudden.
@joetraincool
ReplyDeleteBecause it's a Spongebob gag.
@joetraincool MAGIC
ReplyDeleteDon't mean to be a bother, but clicking on the first image doesn't do anything for me. Is it just my computer?
ReplyDeletehttp://blade-zulah.deviantart.com/#/d47f5yt first comic
ReplyDeletealso it will happen. it just will. it's like an immutable law of nature.
should be good now
ReplyDeleteWhatever personality they give her I'll be fine with. Doesn't matter if it isn't exactly as we've imagined.
ReplyDeleteThe first comic.
ReplyDeleteIts going to happen.
That first comic....
ReplyDeleteits so true...
:_;
The first comic is basically Ponychan in a nutshell
ReplyDeleteI.. I'm starting to think the friend who sent me the second comic about 30 minutes ago can actually see the future. This is the fifth time he sends me a comic less than a hour before it is posted here.
ReplyDeleteHonesty, I couldn't care less if they made her into something completely different than what the fandom envisioned her as- that's the beauty of AU. XD
ReplyDelete>yfw the artist of comic #1 is Doc Brown, post-trip to the future
ReplyDeleteFirst comic is exactly what's going to happen. Ponychan WOULD have a hissy fit about it.
ReplyDeleteFirst comic is the Buffy the Vampire Slayer fanbase is a fucking nutshell.
ReplyDeleteThe sad part about the 1st? I know damn well it'll happen in the first 2 hours after S2 starts.
ReplyDeleteHey! I just ended my conversation with shibboleth, anypony wanna randomly chat?
ReplyDeleteQuick. Someone tell Snails what ARE instruments before he makes up more things that AREN'T instruments, preferably something not related to anatomy.
ReplyDelete@ShadowCell I second this. Some people are expecting the second coming of Jesus with season 2, they're going to be quite disappointed. Heh, was that an understatement or what?
ReplyDeleteStill, I expect season 2 to be awesome!
@Eytan
ReplyDeletePretty much this, as long as she gets some airtime in Season 2.
Yeah... the first comic pretty much sums up the nightmares I've been having for the last few weeks.
ReplyDeleteJk. I'm definitely NOT some kind of creepy stalker person. That would be weird.
ReplyDelete@joetraincool
ReplyDelete@Neon Noble
@Izzy Bee
Also, it's Lyra teaching. She's training her students to be good little humans.
The first one is going to come true, I know it.
ReplyDeleteHey, Scoots is a band geek. Who woulda thunk?
ReplyDeleteAlso...poor band members, toiling beneath the cruel, iron-hoofed Lyra and her biped-only rule.
@kelzae
ReplyDeleteMost of these comics are out ages before they get here XD
I feel bad, because we know the first one is going to happen and we can do nothing about it. :(
ReplyDeletelol.
...But is "horse"radish an instrument?
ReplyDelete(Dear lord kill me for that pun)
Also that first one is so true that it almost hurt.
Seen second comic on DA. Hilarious as heck!
ReplyDeleteWho knows how Luna's personality will be displayed in season two. But all I (and everyone else should) know is: no matter how they show Luna, my admiration for her will never cease. To me, Luna will always be Luna.
Hello.
ReplyDeleteThe first one is inevitable, but hopefully the shitstorm will be small and short-lived. It doesn't matter if pre-Season 2 Luna fics don't fit with canon, hell few of the pre-Season 2 Luna fics depict Luna with the same personality! So what difference does it make?
ReplyDeleteAs long as Luna gets decent airtime, and gets a good characterisation, I don't care who she turns out to be.
Season 2 will deliver. I'm not worried a bit.
ReplyDeleteDo instruments of torture count?
ReplyDeleteMayo is too an instrument.
ReplyDeleteYou just have to know how to play it right.
Fluttershy is never going to be only second most adorable, she will always be the most adorable. Fluttershy is best pony.
ReplyDeletePonies talk loud when they want to sound smart, right?
ReplyDeleteHorseradish isn't an instrument either.
ReplyDeleteFuck! I just want moar PONY!
ReplyDeleteComic2: "And it's sweeeeeeet, sweet, sweet victory! YEAh! And it's ours for the taking! It's ours for the fight!"
I don't get it. How is Luna saying "Hello" going to destroy all fanfics about her?
ReplyDeleteI agree with all those before me in that the instant Luna has the floor in the series, the shit will fly. I will support whatever characterization of her they settle upon, because I trust them not to be completely outlandish about it. I am anticipating something similar to Celestia, only with a touch more energy and spunk.
ReplyDeleteSo yeah, I laughed at the first comic...and then the pain of realizing it WILL happen made me sick to my stomach.
@Eytan
ReplyDeleteWouldn't be surprised. It would technically be "Redemption Mode" for her.
I'd be happy to see Luna, though I'd squee if she had an abacus with her.
ReplyDeleteSnails don't be so mayo.
ReplyDelete@DRTJR
ReplyDeleteThey should absolutely throw an abacus in the background of a scene just to eff with us.
inb4 it happens. Fandoms gonna fan :V
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete.......... Why are they all standing on their back legs in the second comic?
ReplyDeleteGuys, don't worry about Luna. <3 The team knows what they're doing. THEY LISTENED TO US when we pointed out Derpy Hooves in the pilot, and that pony reappeared, CROSS-EYED AND TRUE, in episode 15.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure if we just tell them that Luna's a little too attached to an Abacus, they would use it as a funny comic relief device. It could totally work.
Trust me, season 2 could be way worse than that first comic thinks. Example,
ReplyDeleteRD: "Hey Apple Jack, wanna have a tea party even though we're the least girly of the mane 6?"
AJ: "Sure do."
Wouldn't it be great if Luna was reintroduced in the First two part episode? She could be the Mane Six's unexpected savior against Discord!
ReplyDelete/Just a thought. ;)
And this is why my expectations aren't kept too high of Season 2. Because it leaves room to amaze me. If I had high expectations and they didn't fit, I would be outraged.
ReplyDeleteI'm mature enough to separate Fanon from Canon. The show is awesome and they just need to keep on keepin' on.
ReplyDeleteThough I will admit seeing the Ditzy-Dinky family confirmed in the show would have me floating on a cloud of diabetic fluff for most of the season.
*raises hand*
ReplyDelete1. hahaha...
ReplyDelete>there is a chance this might actually happen
2. hohoho, (old) Spongebob, one of my favorite animated series
Speaking as a ponychan regular, we've already had a hissy fit about the potential hissy fit that may be had over the topic of the Luna's return, so perhaps that will diminish the impact of the latter.
ReplyDeleteI love that framed picture of Bon-Bon on Lyra's desk, nice touch.
ReplyDeleteDude, that episode of Songebob was awesome. Patrick was hilarious when he kept raising his arm xD
ReplyDelete@Geldon Yetichsky
ReplyDeleteWell, gawd damn, Bronies be prepped an' shit ain't they?
Serious tho, don't think I've seen a fandom psyching itself out so much before...
I completely suspect when Luna shows up...
ReplyDelete*BOOM!*
Across the internet, fans exploding one way or another.
I say this as a Luna fan as well, not going to say how I'm going to react because I don't know.
"You are now second most adorable" got a chuckle out of me though.
Even though all of the fanfics have had to make assumptions of Luna's personality, I still can't wait until she shows up in the show.
ReplyDeleteIt took my until I was almost at the bottom of the comments to remember what episode of Spongebob the second comic was referring to. Man, I really need to watch that episode again. Too bad Nickelodeon has gone to shit nowadays.
ReplyDelete... Oh you Luna, you should've clearly said Oh... hey twilight, and you know, you too fluttershy. Twilight lets become lovers. (IF the fanfics ruled)
ReplyDeleteThat Luna comic is how it's all gonna go down, all the way. I'd bet my bits on it.
ReplyDeletePoor Luna. I just don't see how they can do right by her in the eyes of her fans. One or more good sized chunks of the fandom will no doubt hate her representation, and undeservedly blame the talented team of writers and directors rather than their own fannish mindset.
Personally, I didn't like her voice in season one, so I'm hoping for some changes. I think she could be an awesome character, and I can't wait to meet her for the first time once again.
Sad thing is that the first comic is going to come true no matter how much the creators work on Luna.
ReplyDelete"She's too shy" "She isn't shy enough"
"She's too regal" She's too girly"
"She's too sad and apologetic" "She isn't sad enough"
Now to see how many of these arguments appear the day Luna returns.
Please everyone, learn as much as you can from comic 1, lest ye errors of thine past be repeated.
ReplyDeleteWhatever, "happy emo revolutionary" is a phrase that deserves to live on in some fan-art, or the banner, or something. :-)
ReplyDeleteHonestly, Luna will always be Luna. The creators established the path, the fans developed it, and the creators will acknowledge it. :)
ReplyDelete@wulfmon13 It'd be predictable. Not necessarily bad though.
ReplyDeleteI'm perfectly happy whatever they do with her. I trust they've got something good planned. I'll always have the fanfiction for other forms of Lunacy.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to keep an eye on Ponychan while the first episode to see how long a "Its Ruined" thread starts up. No matter how something turns out, there will always be someone who likes it and someone who hates it. It just interesting sometimes to watch what happens when those two collide. I'm betting on 2 minutes 30 seconds before the first thread (The average time it takes to get to the theme song).
ReplyDeleteHee, Lyra even looks kinda like Squidward in that second comic.
ReplyDelete@ Marock
ReplyDeleteFUUUUUUUUUUUUU
It's actually 'No, horseradish is not an instrument either...'
The first brought up the memory of playing Fallout while my friend watched: 'Foreshadowing. Yes, that is also foreshadowing. Yeah, that too.'
sqrt(-1) = ?
ReplyDeleteAmazing.
But of course, we all know the answer is Pinkie Pie.
@Firleycat
ReplyDeleteI'm not. I thought I would. Maybe grab the laptop and chat or something as I watched the premier live, just because I've never geeked out about a series as much as this one. Instead, I'd prefer to just see it for what it is without anyone elses opinions distracting my enjoyment of it. I'll probably rewatch it a few times before checking here to see what's popped up discussion wise.
Sadly #1 will probably happen no matter what happens in season 2.
