Holy shit a new thread from me.
Anyway, to get to the point of this thread, I'm asking several questions.
-How important is "canon" to you from the media that features your lover? It's no secret that some people's perceptions of and their lover differs from what the show (or comics or whatever) differs from the so called "canon."
-How do you feel about the "popular" portrayal of your lover in the fandom itself. Since fanbases love to latch onto popular concepts.
As for my own answers:
-"Canon" isn't really that important to me for the most part (save for what I deem accurate and like enough)...this was issue I had to deal with regarding the recent episode of MLP. I was fearful it'd ruin the perception of Nightmare I have. Luckily it did not contradict it much, but I came to accept the idea that what the show says isn't relevant to what I think of Nightmare anymore. She's alive, her own mare, a show certainly can't change that.
-The popular fandom ideas are something I mostly ignore...let's not get me started on the whole idea of "Princess Luna is Nightmare" because most of you know my thoughts on that. And I'd rather not rant on and on.
However, one thing that I do find to be a bit tiresome is the vastly overdone portrayal of Nightmare that shows her to be some broken hearted, fragile mare who just wants to be understood. When all canon points to the contrary. I'd personally like to see more art of her being the ruthless and terrifying conqueror she's shown to be. Or at the very least scary. Powerful.
