I think the show is the problem here, the fans just took what was shown and ran with it. We never see Twilight concerned about her parents, only about what Celestia thinks of her. And even though we rarely see Celestia it’s still an infinite amount more screen-time than Twilight’s parents. I don’t think they’ve even been mentioned in the last 3 seasons. In fact I’m fairly certain most younger viewers and casual watchers thing Celestia is Twilght’s mom.

Before I started watching the show, and still after catching a few episodes, I thought Celestia was Twilight’s mom. It would explain why Twilight was always so desperate for her approval, why she wrote letters explaining what she learned all the time, why she was sent off/banished to Ponyville to make friends, and explains why she has such powerful magic.
Getting a feeling of deja vu, wonder if I wrote this out before?

agreed. he’s super cute too.
@Anonycat
darn tootin’! though i think i enjoyed her the best at mid-character change, when she was still frail and senile but brilliant too kind of like an elderly female doc brown who was a horse.
@MadVillan
we could also go down a certain other route and note they’ve only made two in-person appearances (not including flashbacks): one when shining armor married the ol’ ball and chain and officially became royalty (even if it’s only a figurehead status) and when twily-butt slapped on the wings and became royalty.
look at those shit-eating grins!
those, dear guests, are the smirks of two parents thinking loudly “now the little brats are worth something. we’re set for life now, dear”

It’d be nice to have a Friends forever comic in the IDW series with twilight velvet and celestia with velvet feeling self conscious compared to celestia.

I cannot say THIS enough. You probably all remember my previous rants about the subject of Momlestia stories and art that go out of their way to have her outright replace Velvet as Twilight’s mother figure, so I won’t bore you with that again.

she doesn’t have to outright replace her. someone can be an important maternal or paternal figure in someone’s life without outright taking the place of their mother or father.

…They also appeared at the end of the season 6 premiere, where we FINALLY got to hear them actually speak for once. …And they’re voiced by the same VAs who voice their children.

Twilight’s parents were present (and voiced) at the end of this season’s opener, when they visited Shining and Cadence to met their grand daugther.

it almost makes me wish they were canon :P
@Jarkes
i always kind of wished for an episode where either twi’s mom herself worried a bit about being supplanted and tried to spend time with her daughter, or for celestia to be a bit envious of twi and her mom’s relationship.
@Jarkes
they certainly were!
“now the brat is worth even more money!”

All of the Momlestia stuff is pretty doofy; Twilight couldn’t be any more NOTICE ME SENSEI if she tried. It’s the same class of idol worship as Dash’s obsession with the Wonderbolts or Scootaloo’s obsession with Dash.

I did have a friend who is enrolled in a successful college that actually thought women could get pregnant in the butt
Knew a girl in high school who actually had it happen, though, because she “knew” anal was “safe” but forgot to account for the frosting dripping off the donut, as it were.

I’m surprised you didn’t make some kind of Freudian joke about the parents having the same VAs as the children. You’re slacking, dude.

And Twilight had a couple NOTICE ME SEMPAIs of her own: Trixie (possibly, though it’s of course exaggerated in fanfics – usually quite humorously, I might add) and Moondancer.

Sometimes an up-to-five-characters-for-the-same-pay-rate contract is just an up-to-five-characters-for-the-same-pay-rate contract.

I agree, if only because I think there’s a potential story in Rainbow’s home life.
Also, if and when we ever meet Scoot’s parents, I figure it would just be an anticlimax.

Wasn’t the “up to five characters for the same pay rate” thing the reason why the Starscream clones in Transformers Animated were only ever referred to as “Starscream clones” in the show itself instead of using the names of the original Seekers that their color schemes were based off of?
I do have to wonder why they were only credited as “Mr. Sparkle” and “Mrs. Sparkle,” since they DO have official names from the toyline and possibly the comics (I know Night Light was mentioned by name in the Blueblood and Shining Armor Friends Forever issue, but I don’t remember if Twilight Velvet’s name was ever mentioned). Fluttershy’s parents only being credited as “Mr. Shy” and “Mrs. Shy” at least had an excuse since they didn’t HAVE official names yet, but still, that was very weird.
Does that mean if we finally get speaking roles from Rainbow Dash’s dad and meet her mother in this season, they’ll be credited as “Mr. Dash” and “Mrs. Dash”?

Back then on high school I had a female classmate who thought we men menstruated like women.
… she was seventeen, but she had a hard (and well deserved) reputation of being absurdly dumb and only thought of partying all the time.
She didn’t even had the excuse of having a crippled mental condition, as she was perfectly normal but also dumb as a brick.
