Am I the Only One Who Noticed This? · 10:36am Feb 3rd, 2014
Alright, I'm just going to do a little rant about something I always see in this fandom. I constantly see people saying, "Celestia banished Luna for 1,000 years."
Not according to canon.
In the very first episode of My Little Pony, it states that Celestia banished Luna to the moon permanently. It then says the stars had to aid in her escape. So, in reality, Celestia never planned on bringing Luna back, she was going to do away with her forever, and it WAS the stars that helped her out of her imprisonment. NOT Celestia.
So, this is all I have to say. It's something that bugs me, and has for a long time. However, if you can provide evidence/proof Celestia only sentenced her for 1,000 years, I'd be willing to believe. According to canon, though, I never saw any proof to her only being given 1,000 years. According to the legend, she was banished permanently. Tell me what you think, and if I'm wrong. This topic interests me, and I'm pretty confused by it.

I personally blame simply distortion of facts over time, telephone game
That's what she thought at first, but later on she found out it's not permanent.
Am I the only one questioning how the hell the stars helped her escape to begin with?
I think it had something to do with that Celestia knew that the spell would not last forever. Eventually luna would be able to escape, and she knew that she would have to find new element bearers to protect Equestria. However, she TOLD everyone that it was permanent so as not to cause panic

Sort of a "TASTE THE RAINBOW MOTHERF-" moment.
