So... Order means happiness, welfare and peace.
Freedom means chaos and immortal, egomaniacal tyrant running wild. Makes sense! |

Stop interpreting things differently than me! |

I figure that they represent opposing archetypes/philosophies, but that doesn't mean they're enemies. The entire point is that there's room for both. |

Problem is, the archetype of freedom is shown to be darkness and... that's about it. Why choose something which doesn't offer anything except Nighmare Moon?
Also, it still suggests that without Luna, Celestia was evil tyrant, oppressing poor ponies. |

...Am I allowed to be in here if I don't have a comment about conflicting portrayals of canon and fanon?
I just wanted to say I liked the art... |

I choose, Both! Cause for me you can't have one without the other. |
| d715 #519128 10 months ago |
Both, because the whole god danmed point about their background story is about how they are suppost to work together.
This shit always pisses me off nice art anyway |

Allow me to clarify (paraphrasing Felixattchar here).
Celestia has been ruling alone for 1,000 years. Her system works, although it is not necessarily ideal. When Luna returns, she has different ideas as to how Equestria should be run, however Celestia is unwilling to change the way things have been done for a millennium. In the end, the best system would be a combination of their views, taking the best aspects from each ("We were meant to rule together"). They're not enemies. They don't hate each other. Also, the backgrounds are more to symbolise the ponies themselves, not their political views or "what they bring to the table". Luna does not bring nothing but darkness, and such. Also, NNM in the background was just something he felt would be a "neat touch". It doesn't imply that freedom is evil or anything. |

Awesome picture (and no, I'm not going to get drawn into the whole order vs. freedom, how a social compact is necessary to make a society function (it is), rules vs. individual rights, Oligarchy/Monarchy vs. Democracy/Representative Republic etc.
*hugs both of them* |

Or Luna returns from her room after throwing a temper tantrum and still is a spoiled brat. Frigid Winds and Burning Hearts is not necessarily canon, nor is Progress. Also, I know it does not represent what they "bring to the table". However, it can be interpreted that way. I'm just doing what lunafags do all the time - I misinterpret the imagery presented as I see fit, to support one idiotic fan theory and discredit another. |

Enemies? Who says that order and freedom are incompatible. |

Like I said, I was paraphrasing the artist. I didn't claim that what I said is canon, and I've never even read any of those fanfics. I was just saying what Felixattchar's thoughts behind the drawing were. |

This reminds me of Catherine with the order and freedom thing |
