I hate how people downplay starlights story
I wanted to take this as an opportunity to talk about how similar starlights and lunas backstory’s and outrages are, because everyone seems to think that starlights backstory was pathetic and it really ticks me off.
Starlight had a best friend who she loved dearly,
Luna had a sister that she loved dearly,
Both got out staged and left behind by their loved ones.
Luna wanted to enslave every pony to her night,
Starlight wanted to enslave every pony to equality.
Both had reasons that matched up with their behaviour, and both are valid.
I love Luna and starlight so much and you can tell straight away theirs meant to be a parallel, especially in one of the episodes where Luna said “we are a lot alike starlight glimmer” or something along those lines.
People link starlights village to communism and cultism, which if you deep the meaning behind the episode you’d be right,
But let’s all take a step back and remember this is a kids show, and the episode was to portray that starlight was let down and outshined, and she never wanted to feel like that again.
She made her own village with the intentions of her people being equal, she just did it in the wrong way.
Starlight is my favourite character so call this glaze if you want to but don’t sit and say that her backstory was weak while giving Luna a green card.
