Her plan all along.

Luna got swaaaag.

>She'd immediately renamed them after her ancient charioteers

Those are some seriously tolerant employees, right there. I don't think I'd let my boss pull that, lunar princess or no.

Yeah pretty much. That shit was pretty fuckin' metal if I do say so myself.

Maybe they have "official guard names" that act as titles or something, for just when they're on the job. Off duty they're Joe McPegasus and Twinkie.

Robes of Living Darkness With Thousand Unblinking Eyes!

All my yes!

Yes, Phobos and Deimos are just the names Luna uses for her guards. Their civilian names haven't changed.

>>714698714698

Luna does have somewhat macabre tastes, yes. Macabre but awesome!

Very believable of Luna to have that OTHER robe. Bet she'll sing like something out of Nightwish.

I would give anything in the world to fly that chariot.

This!

I like this, this is how I see Luna too. She probably thinks spiders are super cute and hates kittens and baby ducks.

Was her chariot named Mars? Because Phobos and Deimos are the moons of Mars. And I like the idea of enchanted armour that makes all guards look the same, it makes a lot of sense. I think I kind of recognise it, though - did you come up with it, and if not, where did you get if from?

But for the story, it was pretty fun. Thumbs up, would read again.

>>753271753271 Phobos and Deimos mean "Fear" and "Dread", respectively, and seemed to go nicely with how Luna was portrayed in Luna Eclipsed - a bit archaic, self-consciously regal, earnestly awkward, and unintentionally terrifying!

The idea of the enchanted armor making the guards uniform is not my idea, but I like it a lot. Unfortunately, I can't say where I picked it up from, or where it originated. It's a fairly wide-spread piece of fanon.

>>720244720244  In the Chessverse stories, Luna used  to have a Mega-Tarantula, still can't remember the name.  Celestia hid the thing in a jungle temple shrotly after Luna's banishment.

1000 years later and Griffin the griffin is nearly killed by the damn thing.

And Luna finds a NEW pet spider named Mitzy...whom is a normal-ish tarantula....which is immune to fire.  And stubborn....and when I say 'immune to fire' I mean this bitch WILL NOT DIE!  LAVA CAN'T EVEN KILL IT!

So, yeah......

Luna thinks spiders are teh cuteness

Silly Luna. The Robes of Living Darkness with A Thousand Unblinking Eyes should only be brought out for major affairs of state. And for traumatizing your nephew. But mostly major affairs of state.

If I could draw worth squat, I'd so do a pic of Luna wearing the Robes.
