“The Red Queens Demure” - by Anonymous
A gem from the forefront of the red plague epidemic which encapsulated the world with which few people were able to escape from, especially those with exceedingly prevalent artistic abilities. Some have claimed the author behind such a work as this, but none have yet to truly unmask “The Unknown.”
The reason some such artists illustrating a radical figure such as “The Red Queen” kept their identities scarce was to avoid confrontation by activists in opposition to the “Scarlet Empire,” and further more to ensure the image of the artist in question not be affected in any negative way. Many artists have gone on to model works after the Infamous character “Scarlet Rose”; however, this one stands out above the rest due to its questionable origins and commentary presented in the form of a personal journal with which the author documented his thoughts. An excerpt of said journal proceeds as follows:
“I have yet to encounter what the guards have referred to as a “Shy, demure” which is utterly redundant in and of itself, but they are merely guards after all. She was otherwise documented as being quite reserved, but this is very much the contrary in how she approaches me in private. Her eyes shift into a state of euphoria, and her smile emerges almost menacingly… In fact as I write this she toys relentlessly, using only her words and gaze to lead my mind astray, not even making an effort to venture from her nightly quarters. I feel like I’m part of some kind of sick game, teetering on the edge of lust, and a very lucrative commission; by god if by the end of the night I don’t end up receiving the both of them, for they are both very enticing and at this point I have no strength to choose either or… My arms work tirelessly to achieve her likeness but I often find myself adding more and more, likely due to her mains frivolous dance; one two three four, one two three four. Like a waltz of flames… No matter, I have nearly achieved perfection, and am awaiting my reward. Soon I shall summon her miss over to admire my work, and receive my compensation in full; though, I feel she may receive something in equal of proportion.”

Damn dude, it notified me JUST TODAY about your reply, holy damn. But still, this is STILL the best Celestia pic up to this date for me!
Yeah, that’s true. The thing I was trying to communicate is whether it’s possible to invoke an image of a an evil fire-maned demonic princess with the name Morningstar, especially if one says it out loud to another, since as you indicted, Morningstar sounds the same as Mourningstar, which’d send even more mixed signals to the uninitiated. The symbolic name of a character one hasn’t yet seen or heard a physical description of may or may not achieve… Eh, I dunno. It just sounds too vague. lol
I’d like to think giving her a descriptive name like Nightmare Star could communicate more without requiring one to find her picture or description, like how the name Metal Gear can make one instantly imagine a giant robot, or a movie named Fist of the Dragon makes one imagine a movie about an Asian person punching people. An example of the opposite effect would be the name Monado might not invole an image of a Japanese lightsaber, or how the name ISIS is the name of both a fictional secret agency in an animation and a terrorist organization in real life. :3
I associate the name Morningstar with Lucifer, actually; I completely forgot it was also a weapon. Good point in any case. Depending on her exact appearance, it might be hard to make that mistake anyway: red eyes and a mane made of fire aren’t generally found on a good guy. Add fangs like Nightmare Moon apparently had, some armor (possibly melting armor), and she’d basically scream “evil.”
Failing that, “Mourning Star” sounds exactly the same, and also evokes–well. Y’know.
Maybe. Though, will children know that Evil Celestia is named after a weapon, instead of thinking Morningstar is an even more benevolent Cel or even another character altogether, unless they’ve had watched the episode for context? Also note that it’s highly probable not all consumers have even seen the show, mostly within the target demo age range, obviously. :3
Oh my sincerest apologies to thee youthful believer… I have experienced such a terrible, terrible travesty this foul evening, and I will need time to recuperate before I am to illustrate her miss recurrently again; though, worry not! I shan’t keep you in dismay for longer than your heart can willfully stand! I shall do my best to allay your troubled mind!
(TRANSLATION: Thanks bro! Even though tonight was a shit sandwich I’ll try and get a sketch done for you because you-duh-best.)
Cool!
