Okay, so in response to a discussion that I was involved with yesterday regarding Lightfeather's relationship with Silvercloud/lake. I'd first like to say that I am not throwing anyone under the bus, I am merely wanting to continue the conversation about Lightfeather on a post created specifically about this issue because I think there can be some very interesting points made about this topic, as well as allowing us to look at the books from different prospective.
My 'mane' stance on this issue, is that Lightfeather's relationship with Silvercloud/lake was a mother-daughter relationship. The first thing that I would like to argue in defense of this, is the age gap between the two mares. Lightfeather arrived in Sun Herd only a few days old, and was immediately taken in by Silvercloud/lake and Thunderwing/sky. It's a fact that Lightfeather was far from being a weanling when this happened and in order for it to make any sense for Silvercloud/lake to adopt her in the first place would mean that she would have had to have been nursing a foal of her own (aka Hazelwind) at this time. This would have to mean that there is, at an absolute bare minimum, a 3 year age gap between them. However, I believe that this is likely that is a much larger age gap between them.
Yeah, I never shipped Lightfeather and Silverlake either, it just seems wrong, like I so see the mother/daughter relationship in that, not the couple relationship.... yeah!
Ooo! That’s a really good point, Dragon!! I never thought that Lightfeather and Hazelwind were nursed together! I’ve always seen Silvercloud as Lightfeather’s dam and as Star’s aunt. I think pegasi age differently than people do so I find it a bit hard to see Silvercloud as Star‘s granddam (she is just too young and stubborn to be a grandmother yet!).
I totally agree on the mother/ daughter relationship. I do not see them as anything more. (and anyway I kinda ship Oakfeather [Oakfire X Lightfeather]).
I'll be right back in like 5 minutes
Hey guys, I'm back! I had to go clean my room.... haha!
Me too crys me too!!!!
Yesterday I ordered my own copies of The Guardian Herd and Riders Of The Realm. All are coming tomorrow ( 3/31/20 ) except for Riders Of The Realm Book 1........ that one is coming on 4/20/20. Me waiting ->😫
I'd like to say that Star is like a grandcolt to Silverlake ( @Dragon ) which means that Morningleaf is Star's Aunt......... my head is exploding at this news
Bai gotta go play some Harry Potter Clue! :D It sounds really complicated..... yikes
Oh okay XD
Lol I totally agree xD I ship Brackenleaf
But, yeah.... Why would we ever ship Silverlake with Lightfeather???
I don't find it gross. Because he was only his milk mom. I find the fact that they grew up together really cute <3
Hm- interesting. Yeah StarLeaf (the ship of course) makes me feel very gross.
In the book it talks about how Thunderwing and Silvercloud raised her as their daughter, which is one of the reason's (one) why Thunderwing hated Star so much. Because his birth killed his daughter. Its stated in Starfire somewhere. I'd only say a mother\daughter relationship for sure. Its another reason Silvercloud was so passionate about star. She often said stuff like, and I quote, "Lightfeather did not die for you to become the destroyer." Its kinda weird though. Because Silverlake was practically Star's dam, but she was also practically Lightfeather's dam.
Starleaf, having a hard time figuring out what to say bud? XD JK
