Dropped Moon 12, and The Storytelling Blows My Mind! 😭🌊
From Fun 8 to Moon 12: Fast-Paced Drops
My wallet didn't even get a chance to breathe! Fun 8 just came out, and now Moon 12 is already here. I've always loved the Moon series for its adorable art, but honestly? Most sets lacked a strong overarching theme. Only a select few actually had a solid story connecting the cards.
That said, some earlier Moon sets were absolute masterpieces of storytelling:
Moon 3: The LSR set featured the traditional Chinese Solar Terms—an absolute holy grail with incredible collection value.
Moon 9: The UR cards leaned heavily into a Spooky Halloween theme, which made those URs way more attractive to me than the higher tiers!
Moon 10: The SC cards brought us a warm, cozy Christmas vibe that just melted my heart.
The Narrative Peak: Moon 11 & Moon 12
Starting from Moon 11, Kayou really upped their storytelling game! Moon 11 revolved around flower-viewing seasons and otherworldly starry skies, with the top two tiers depicting a fascinating "Dual Life" wrapped in suffocating, gorgeous vines.
And then came Moon 12...
Moon 12’s overarching theme is crystal clear: A Midsummer Night’s Dream. What completely blew me away is how every single card tier connects like chapters in a movie:
SC Tier: The ponies gather in a misty lotus pond hidden deep inside a summer forest for a secret rendezvous.
ZR Tier: The ponies transform into adorable Breezies, playing and floating among the lotus flowers drenched in morning dew.
SGR Tier: It transitions to a cozy rainy afternoon where the ponies step into the puddles, playing together in the rain.
◇ZR Tier (The Ultimate Plot Twist): Suddenly, you realize... all of this was just Princess Twilight Sparkle’s memory. She gazes into the water reflection, looking at her friends. It turns out everything was just her dream—like a phantom reflection in the water, fragile, surreal, but painfully beautiful.
(Seriously, Moon 12, are you trying to make me cry my eyes out?! 😭😭😭)
