My headcanon is she needed some time to reflect before presenting herself to the public once again.

Love your arts! So nice :3

Don’t worry Luna, the Mane Six would outshine both of you way more, especially Fluttershy.

Yep, this was the mindset that I had!

Poor little Lu-Lu. Can’t blame her for being in her sister’s shadow yet again.

I like this lil series, keep it going man
Luna is addorable <3

I mean thats the entire reason, ppl generally love characters with flaws and mystery + lack of screentime for Luna through season 1 & 2 (despite the first 2 ep making her partly a core of the story), made ppl love her more even without knowing much about her. So ye it’s kind of ironic :D, the pony that show presents as ‘being in her sister’s shadow’ is arguably more popular by a margin compared to Celestia.

I always a feeling they would make a show about the 2 sisters, since they are extremely popular characters with a lot of options to work with.

but I guess at this point it will never happen/

More plz! I LOVE the art work

Thats more of a meta thing, yeah the fandom loves her more than her sister, but if we’re talking purely in-universe, Luna has been overshadowed by her sister. Ponies still sleep through her “beautiful night”, which is the entire reason she became Nightmare Moon. Although, since her banishment, i don’t think that really bothers her anymore. In the comics, Luna is much more excitable than her sister and is more outgoing, but her 1000 year stay on the moon made her more socially akward and introverted. Though she does still seek some attention, atleast from her own sister. Like in Royal Problem when Luna talks about how she’s never appreciated for the work she does at night.

Even in a meta-sense, the show does feature her less than her sister

Its hard to take the whole “Luna is overshadowed” thing seriously when she’s literally the most worshipped character in the entire series. And to a ridiculous extent at that

Yeah, it always bugged me that the show forgot about Luna until season 2.

Luna’s looking Coltifornia, but feeling Whinnysota.
