twilight and luna for the ship meme (i'm laughing because i was actually on this account good timing)
SEND ME A SHIP and iâll tell you:
who wakes up first in the morning
Twilight wakes up ridiculously early and on time every single morning without fail. When Luna returns from her night duties sheâll almost always find Twilight waiting for her with a steaming cup of tea or hot chocolate, and itâs become something of a morning ritual, since early morning is one of the few times they can talk uninterrupted before they have to go do their princess things. Even when they actually do have coinciding sleep schedules Twilight still wakes up first, because Luna is a mess and will sleep until noon if given the chance, which Twilight complains about all the time. Really though, seeing one of the royal sisters curled up and soundly asleep is too adorable for her to interrupt. Sheâll even sometimes make Luna breakfast in bed if sheâs had a really hectic night.
whoâs the first to fall asleep at night
It varies from night to night. Usually Luna leaves for her night duties after watching Twilight head to bed and wishing her good night, but itâs not unheard of for Luna to return and find Twilight passed out on a pile of books in the library, and the older alicorn will either gently levitate the other into bed and tuck her in, or honestly just curl up and join her. At the same time Luna will sometimes work for days straight until she literally plops down in the middle of Canterlot Castle for a nap. Twilight has memorized all her usual (and unusual) napping spots, and if she canât get the other princess back to her room, sheâs stowed emergency blankets and pillows in each spot and casually instructs the guards to avoid making noise in the area so Luna can get some sleep.
what they playfully tease each other over
Twilight is smol laughs. Luna has lived for over a thousand years as the shorter of two sisters, so she constantly teases Twilight about being the shortest princess (she really finds it adorable though). She also teases Twilight a lot about her obsession with books and history, and especially when it comes to the ponies she knew like Starswirl, sheâll often tease Twilight with ridiculous facts she claims are true and that the books have it all wrong. Twilight on her part teases Luna about her sometimes over the top decorum and how unfamiliar she is with modern Equestria, even if sheâs ultimately more than happy to teach the older alicorn (and by teach I mean write her a hundred page essay on the microwave). That and they both tease each other about being huge nerds, but the jokes on them because theyâre both huge dorks and they know it.
what they do when the otherâs having a bad day
Stargazing. Itâs one of their favorite activities to do together, and if one of them is having a bad day, or even if both of them are, theyâll drag each other to an empty field or a balcony and spend the whole night watching for shooting stars and charting the night sky. Nerdy? Very. But it relaxes them both, and by the end itâs very likely theyâve talked through whatever problems were going on anyway. Otherwise if Twilight is having a bad day Luna will sometimes surprise her with a new book (possibly stolen from the Canterlot library) or just throw her at the spa while covering for her princess duties (which doesnât always end fantastically but). On Twilightâs part sheâll buy Luna her favorite kind of cake or cupcakes (space themed of course). Sheâll even sometimes humor Luna by playing video games with her, which Luna finds super endearing, but usually ends up with them picking up something else to do together after Luna breaks down laughing trying to teach Twilight how to play.
âI love you Twilight but youâre awful at this.â
how they say âiâm sorryâ after arguments
After theyâve both had some time to cool off Twilight is usually the first one to apologize, and sheâs generally pretty good about just straight up saying it to Luna. She might be nervous and a little awkward about it depending on what went down, but she knows she needs to clear the air and do it honestly. If it was a really bad argument she also sometimes grabs apology sweets (Luna physically canât resist star shaped cookies). LunaâŚtakes a little longer to get there. Sheâs short-tempered and stubborn and it takes her some time to calm down and even longer to own up to her fault in the argument, but when she does Luna tends to feel awful about it. She has a harder time outright approaching Twilight and will usually leave her little apology gifts instead, and in the end itâs usually Twilight who ends up confronting her directly after Lunaâs avoided her for a good amount of time. Itâs something the older alicorn is trying to work on for Twilightâs sake, but Twilight is patient, and she knows that Luna means well in the end.
which oneâs more ticklish
Twilight by far. Sheâs not overtly ticklish, but Luna accidentally discovered her weak spot one day and the world was never the same again. Luna on her part finds it cute as heck, but Twilight is just mortified that somepony found out, and that pony being Luna of all ponies, and itâs another thing that the moon princess teases Twilight about. Itâs also another thing she uses if she seeâs that Twilight is having a super bad day, and while it usually involves a frantic Twilight running away, Luna has longer legs laughs, and itâs a quick way of getting a smile on the younger alicornâs face and enough of a prompt for Twilight to let Luna know whatâs wrong.
their favourite rainy day activities
Things that are nice and relaxing, since most of their days can get pretty hectic. Theyâll usually prop themselves up near a window with a nice collection of snacks and a good book apiece, (or, if weâre going super headcanon, Luna just spends the whole day playing video games while Twilight reads and backseat games the whole time laughs). Twilight also occasionally helps Luna catch up with her paperwork (and by help I really mean she forces Luna to sit down and actually do it), and really they sometimes just end up talking for hours on end, enjoying each others company for longer than 20 minutes at a time for once.
Iâm laughing though because Luna has weather manipulation magic so she could technically be just like ânah no rain todayâ, but if it means being able to spend more time with Twilight she probably low key annoys the pegasi by making it rain even longer.
how they surprise each other
Luna pranks Twilight like at least twice a week. While Celestia is basically infuriatingly immune to all pranks Twilight falls for like the simplest ones in the book, and Luna capitalizes on this so much. She means well though and just does it for a bit of fun, limiting herself to simple gags mostly, but occasionally takes a prank a little too far and peeves off Twilight. Said peeved off Twilight then goes to Celestia for help getting back at Luna, leaving the moon princess to walk into a castle full of pranks and traps and ends up completely dumb founded how prank weenie Twilight managed it all. And she still hasnât figured it out.
their most sickening shows of public affection
Awful astronomy puns and science jokes. They both find it super endearing like the huge nerds they are, but literally everyone else around them just collectively groans because theyâre so objectively terrible.
