Pony Talk: Luna, Patron Saint of Lost Fillies

Sorry if you don't dig the candy-colored horses, but that's what this post is kind of about so head's up.

This is a thought that recently came stronger into my mind, enough that obviously I'm sharing the thoughts.  So, Luna, Princess of the Moon and the Night, and younger sister to Celestia, Princess of the Sun and the Day, rule Equestria together, which is rad.  There's a WHOLE LOT going on with Luna and her backstory, and with understanding the sibling dynamic between the two of them.  Epic.  Moving on.

I had seen a video some time ago called something like "Children of the Night", it was a pony song, more or less to the tune of "Once Upon A December", which I really enjoy.  The song has Luna looking after many young ponies(fillies) and bringing them to the moon, fillies who are portrayed to not have families or real homes.  In the fan-made short "Snowdrop"(which was a decent sad-fic), Luna especially takes a shining to Snowdrop, though largely because she could entirely sympathize with the filly.  At the end of the Nightmare Night episode, she makes a small fandom out of the fillies she scares, again showing her to shine with Equestria's youth.  And now my most recent and most canon of examples.

In "Sleepless in Ponyville", Princess Luna visits Scootaloo in her dream(nightmare?) and helps guide her to seeing what her real fear was, and encourages her to face her fears, even nudging her right at the end.  We see this happen again, but with a Christmas Carol kind of dream journey, showing Sweetie Belle that she had the wrong impression of her sister in "For Whom The Sweetie Belle Toils" in Season 4.

Sure it's just a head-canon, but it seems that many people get this... impression of Luna, and I find that to be amazing and awesome.  Actually, sometime I should talk about the fan-canon of Ditzy Doo(Derpy), because it's so incredibly complex and... real?  Like srsly... it's crazy.

Living A Life

There a few loose ideas I have a hard time perfectly explaining, but if you can get behind the understanding of false nostalgia, then we'll be off to an excellent start.

I like stories, often epic fantasies but era and setting vary as I've found so many different tales and... experiences?  Reading a book, watching a movie, playing a game, these have become different mediums for our idea of a story-telling experience.  Heck, most of the original stories were kept up in oral tradition.  What I'm getting at is that even ones that tell of human history and are often true to whatever degree make me feel like I was born in some wrong time.  I appreciate all the luxuries and benefits afforded me in this day and age, don't get me wrong.  Today is not a life of luxury for all by any means anyways.  Maybe I should join the Peace Corps for a spell.  Hmm.  Perhaps I'll table that another time.

Every time I want to explore this I don't get terribly far in before it sounds more like I wish there was some great calamity or war or struggle(like I dunno, HUMAN RIGHTS or something), and that's not what it is.  I suppose it's more like day-dreaming wishing I was in another time, a simpler one... one in which I suppose I couldn't share my thoughts like this. Which I suppose is up to you to decide if that's good or bad.  And that's the pinch and the punch of it.
