How exactly can I deal with things in the series?

I have been sort of lucky in I haven't had this sort of problem with the show and Maud.
Though I still feel a slight disconnect in how the show portrays her and how I imagine her, but I can't put a finger on it exactly.

my take on this exact disconnect is the show is one universe, your version is another. the show showed us the way but not to that universe, it shows us to our own version of equestria, etc. by seeing the show, your minds eye opened t a unique version of what you saw.. ponies there can differ from the show.

in mine, the show happens to them, but they still do other stuff outside of what you see in the show. my Luna for instance is as shy and quiet as shown in the show with others, but with me, she seems to be more outspoken than Tia because we share more of a connection. thanks to certain events in history, i believe she had that connection for a long time longer than i knew of her, or at least the puzzle pieces were in place to build such of one before we met
