Star Mares 3.4.12-13: Really Most Illogical

In the original cartoon, Wind Whistler was always calm and sensible - and didn't really want to be, as evidenced by the episode in which a magical accident swapped her personality with a much sillier pony.  I conceived of my version as a 'pony Spock' (and I know I'm not the first one to make the comparison), but she was always the Spock of the earlier episodes and the movies - the one who clearly had emotional responses but pretended, catlike, that he didn't, and who was prone to thoroughly irrational actions and later claimed that they were logical (but never satisfactorily explaining his logic).  This is one of Wind Whistler's thoroughly irrational actions, couched behind a veneer of fuzzy logic.

An earlier version of this page included the line "I never claimed to be the good one," which I felt was critical to describing Moontear and Wind Whistler's relationship - Moontear is actually Wind Whistler's conscience, and the only reason Wind Whistler didn't turn Moon Moth into a whiff of ozone herself is because she believed that Moontear wouldn't actually want that.  The line didn't make it through the revision process, sadly, but the spirit has always been there.

Ultimately, of course, the main point of this page was to break Moontear's goggles, because it was getting too hard to convey her state of mind without being able to see her eyes.  That, and I like drawing her with mussy hair.
