So I forgot to post a blog for the last chapter. Life is not fun sometimes... Most of the time. So this chapter was all about Celestia"s perspective on the past. I tried to really portray her feelings of helplessness and her lack of courage in facing what she saw as a second Luna level event developing. The first time it was indifference, this time it's fear. I also really wanted to get across her grief at the banishment and it's effects. Some people treat it like she was like meh and I just

So interesting enough this entire getting back into fanfiction thing happened because I HATE how the canon treats Luna and Celestia. I hate how they fight, I hate how they're petty and gross to one another, I hate how they can't be honest with each other. I hate the little things like Celestia saying how easy it is to raise Luna's moon but not alluding to the fact that she'd done it for a thousand years by that point. I hate how Luna's banishment is used as a slight and not as the terribly

So Flurry is me writing a fun origin character. Mostly...I view her as the youth and exhubetance of the cast and since she had such a random appearance, oh look an alicorn was born, I decided to make her pretty strong. I like the concept of her in the canon but I think her potential as an adult is way more interesting than her as a foal. Headstrong, confident, and cocky, she got a lot of her bad traits from her flight instructor. Gotta take the bad with the good. She's also comic relief

So Cadance entered the creative process fairly late for me. While the original storyline revolved around Luna, Celestia, and Twilight I realized that Cadance and Flurry would still be alive as well. Cadance has always been another one of those underrated characters to me. I was also quite confused when I recently heard the books explanation of how she became an alicorn. It seemed so arbitrary and rushed, though much of the canon feels like that to me. Again the purpose of this story is pretty

So Twilight has always been a puzzle to me. I honestly thought she was a Mary Sue for a while but then realized she actually fails a lot. Chrysalis, Sombra, and a heck of a lot of non season openers or enders. Also this is ignoring stuff I haven't seen, such as later seasons. I think she really hit her stride around season 2 to 3 and Rainbow Rocks. With this story I wanted to give her the most complex arc and resolution as she is the focal point of the series. I really think I'm hitting the

So Celestia grew on me to an unreasonable degree when I returned to the fandom. When I first started FiM I greatly disliked the princess of the sun. She seemed so useless. Losing to Chrysalis, doing nothing against Tirek, getting turned to stone in the movie. YOU'RE THE RULER OF EQUESTRIA, DO SOMETHING!!! I realized when I came back that it was all just poor plot devices for the sake of the Mane 6. I really fell in love with Tia after I gave her the benefit of the doubt. Into the Depths and

So with my starting the story I debated on who I wanted to focus on Twilight, Celestia, or Luna. After reading a good bit of fictions I went with my personal favorite Luna. Originally, chapter 1 was going to be from Celestia's perspective, but I got irritated when I read one to many stories that just threw Luna to the wayside. Over time the story has evolved in many different ways but I still try to keep Luna at the forefront. I've kind of altered canon (which is why I used the AU tag) to make

Well I never thought I'd return to fanfiction after all this time. It feels nice to be back. I think last time was around 2000 on another site. I Really like the feel of Fimfiction and it's users seem really friendly, a nice departure from how things used to be elsewhere. With my first story I was really inspired by a renewed vigor in MLP due to three particular stories. Timeless by Radbunny, Integration by Raugos, and Into the Depths by Penstroke. These three stories really gave me an
