History YMMV / Progress

* IKnewIt:
** This fic actually managed to get quite a few things right about the canon version of Luna, such as her status as a FishOutOfTemporalWater and {{Adorkable}} personality, as well as her using a VoiceOfTheLegion at one point, among other things.
** Sleepless in Ponyville [[spoiler: revealed that Luna can enter other ponies' dreams]].

* GeniusBonus: Hoyden means a wild boisterous girl or tomboy in Middle Dutch. Another word for a tomboyish girl is "butch". And given his marefriend is named [[Film/ButchCassidyAndTheSundanceKid Sundance]]...

* {{Moe}}: Luna again.
** Appleboom all the time. While Luna and baseball was pure Hearwarming, her desire to cheer Luna with her TotallyRadical impersonation of Celestia would give you Diabetes.

* MoralEventHorizon: It's been suggested by some readers that Luna crosses this in "Luna Versus the Dreamlands 2", when she [[spoiler:imprisons Discord]] within a dream within a dream within a dream as a statue in a white, featureless expanse. The resulting [[AndIMustScream time dilation]] would have him passing millions of years within that space while time flows normally outside. In her defense, Luna did this to ensure he would not threaten Equestria again. Still, as the page says...
** Given what Discord is suggested to have done to Equestria before his first imprisonment and what he did upon his escape, Luna's actions are arguably justified. Especially given the limited number of options when dealing with a being as powerful as Discord is. Luna might have been harsh in her punishment, but this troper doesn't believe she was ''evil''. More of an AntiHero doing what no one else would and deserving of a WhatTheHellHero.

* CargoShip: Luna and Abacus. She even has a dream of it cheating on her with Princess Celestia.

* TearJerker: Princess Luna's account of the young warrior she met long ago. [[spoiler: He did everything he could to woo her, but ultimately had to commit a HeroicSacrifice to slow down the [[BlobMonster Smooze]]. Now she can't even remember his name.]]

** In "Ponies! In! SPAAACE!" Luna asks if she's to become the governor of Epona. Epona is the name of a Gaullian horse goddess.

* FanonDiscontinuity: Averted. After the premiere of Luna's own episode, "Lunar Eclipsed", the author declared Progress to take place after the Nightmare Night episode. Given My Little Pony's [[OutOfOrder weird episode chronology]], the author hopes it's not too much of a stretch.
