For some folk, it can be like drugs.
Gambling, sex, television, all of these things can be addictive. And dangerously so.
For some people, these things have killed them.
This...this stands out to me in the chapter.

Even worse... newspaper headlines.
Extra extra! Princess Mother does nothing while her colt labours away as a clerk, lives in poverty. What does that say about how Princess Luna feels about the rest of us as her subjects?
There is no winning...
5894629 There is a way to make it seem better in the public eye. He can do a lot of volunteer work...with his mother at his side when she can spare the time...public announcements of how she approves of his good work and how he sets an example for others to follow, etc..
This is a golden opportunity for her to be seen as a good mother teaching her son humility and self respect.
If she takes it...
5894649 And, doing so, she denies her colt the chance to choose his own destiny. And we already saw what happens in this universe when a destiny is denied. The dam fills up ´till it breaks.

Princess Luna puts on a display of public humility, trying to manipulate the public into giving her good favour! Is this for real or just an act? We'll never know. What we do know is that Princess Luna shamelessly exploits her own colt for her personal benefit so can curry politcal favour!
Barley... You da stallion in da house and you know it
5894708 I completely understand. It's hard...no...impossible to get out of the shadow of the Nightmare...and the popularity of Celestia and the other alicorns. Luna is effectively and forever a pariah, because certain ponies will want to "keep her in her place", as it were.
As your story shows, this hurts her terribly and could put distance between her and her son when he is older. I think he'll be a stronger colt than that...maybe.
Luna is surprisingly resiliant...but sadly so due to the spotlight on her.
Old or prematurely aged people are sexy????

And by extension, Bucky, her apprentice.
Recent public outing... the bogeypony!
Hey, we've screwed up. One of the princesses is sending their agent to deal with us.
So Twilight Sparkle is going to give us a lecture about friendship?
Nope. Wrong princess.
Oh sheeeeit.
5894758 The public sees what is presented to them. Given the past year, they need a scapegoat. Luna is an easy target because she is an introverted figure.
Aye, the public eye is one that is hard to please and irritated very easily...

Equestria's being re-made from the ground up. There need to be stipulations for freedom of the press insomuch as the press reports on the truth, and not speculation or just pointless scag mag drivel for 'entertainment', just there to sell more papers. Muddying the truth should never be allowed in such an institution, especially now that they have the chance to make it happen without being largely disruptive. Surely someone's thought of this.
Given time, the things you love will stink, and it will take constant maintenance just to keep them pleasant.
No? Then maybe it's pick your battles, or at least prioritize them appropriately.
Not that either? Hmm. It can be hard to tell what the right thing to do is, especially for those you love? I have a good feeling about that one.
When Barley said Damn sexy, an image of Fat Bastard popped into my head, moment ruined, and nightmares will follow.
5896262 Wait a minute... he smells like a foal! Come 'ere, I'm gonna eat ya! Get in my belly!

Oh, i could write essays about how gambling addiction can break down a family and make you lose fortunes from first-hand experience.
Barley might like this song

Is it just me, or would anyone else like to see the clusterbomb that occurs if Erabus picks up the last word in this chapter from Barley?
