Egophiliac doing a serious Celestia and Luna comic? My body was not ready. |
| Anonymous #609502 9 months ago |
I had nightmares about this for weeks. Seeing it in print doesn't help. Great comic, though. |

Funny thing about eternal night is that food doesn't grow.
I don't think thing's actually got this bad, but this was what Celestia was putting a stop to when she zapped her little sister to the moon. Celestia was right. |

Why? Celestia's mane is still pink, it doesn't make sense for Luna's to be all starry. |
| nemryn #610221 9 months ago |
^^^ Why does everybody keep thinking that things in Equestria work exactly the same way they do on Earth? Nightmare Moon didn't seem stupid, and remember that her main goal wasn't power or anything, but the adoration and appreciation of her subjects, which would be kinda hard if they're all dead. I fully expect that she would have provided crops that could grow in moonglow. |

^ Except Faust herself said that there weren't any "magical crops" and the ponies would have starved to death had the night really lasted forever. And, you know, Nightmare Moon was the result of Luna being possessed by evil magic, it's not like she was in her right mind at the time. |

^ Huh. I did not know that! Link? |

Sorry, I don't know how to make that cute little numbers link, so here's some URLs. http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/6169 http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/21772 I could've sworn she answered the question about a lack of sunlight twice, because I remember a different wording for some reason. But that could just be me hallucinating, and it's the same answer anyway. |

You use numbers Anon. And >>21772 seems to be fake because there is no reply to that comment from Lauren. If she did hide it there would be "Hidden by the owner". |

Yeh, looks like another issue that popped up when recent changes were introduced. |
| Anonymous #613309 9 months ago |
Egophiliac continues to confound me with her seemingly bizarre and incomprehensible comments.
"I wasn't going to upload this. I'm still not sure I should have. I may end up deleting it in a bit." My mind can't even begin to understand why anyone would think that, and she doesn't bother giving any explanation why either. It drives me absolutely nuts. If it was anyone else, I'd think she was being a drama queen or something, but her work is already so popular that it wouldn't matter. Is it some kind of Salinger~esque complex about not wanting people to enjoy a beautiful gift? It makes no sense! Arg! Makes me wish I didn't feel the need to understand things. |

^ Or maybe it's just Obligatory Artist Angst. Personally I'd think she was more of a drama queen if she actually thought of it as bestowing a beautiful gift upon the fandom. |
| Anonymous #616485 8 months ago |
^^Egophiliac constantly puts herself down in her comments. It's frustrating to see, as she's possibly the best artist in the fandom.
But if she's thinking of deleting this, I'm glad that I've saved a copy. |

ONE THOUSAND YEARS AGO
Nightmare Moon could only scream, voice laced with pure wrath and hatred, as the Elements' power enveloped her completely in a swirling maelstrom of colorful light. Then, with a thunderous roar, the cocoon of magic rocketed upwards, to its pre-determined destination, hanging ominously above the world. All Celestia could do was to silently watch, as the energies transformed the Moon into a prison, the dark spots of her sister's vile corruption begin to fester upon its surface, morphing into a sinister Alicorn shadow, showing to the whole world where the terrible presence that had tried to plunge the world into darkness now reside, perhaps for eternity. The Long Night was over. Yet Celestia did not feel triumph. She looked on, her heart shattered with grief; tears of un-parallel purity began streaming down to her cheeks, dripping upon her pink mane at the tips where other colors of maturity are beginning to show. She began to cry. She promised she would love her and always look after her. And yet, right now, as she stood with the crown of the Element of Magic on her head, and the other Elements of Harmony floating to the ground around her, having lost their connection to true love and friendship, Celestia knew she had failed, and so utterly too. She knew it was her fault, and bitterly so, that she was unaware of how much her sister felt un-apprieciated and unloved, having been ignored along with her enchanting and beautiful night, while she had received all her subjects' praises for her rule and her bright and wonderful day. She knew it was her fault that she could not see the darkness that had corrupted Luna. Foalishly she had allowed all that bitterness, resentment and hatred that Luna felt for her and their subjects to fester before her oblivious eyes, until it consumed her, and motivated her to try and use black magic to try and depose Celestia. But instead of power, it only caused her to fall prey to a dark and evil influence that had turned her from a sweet benevolent princess to a mad, evil goddess. It was her fault that because her heart was too weak, too unwilling to oppose Nightmare Moon out of fear of hurting Luna inside her, that she was unable to stand up to her now mad sister earlier, and had let her sow terror across the land, and try to bring forth eternal night. She even had the gall to let the land starve and freeze, unable to save more ponies from suffering and death until her soul could stand no more. It was her fault too because she had let herself be consumed with guilt and reluctance, such that it left her weaken and broken after she had finally defeated Nightmare Moon, so that she could not banish the shadow, but only to imprison it. It was with her own bare hoofs that she had banish Princess Luna to somewhere her sister could no longer be able to hurt anypony else. Now, because of her, her sister is now trapped upon the Moon with the monster she had become. And Celestia may never be able to see her sister again. Celestia did not feel triumph. There was no victory here. What is there for her to celebrate? How could anypony bear losing somepony they love so much? At last, overwhelmed with sadness, she let herself release the sorrow welling up in her, all in one go. She felt her wings lowered beside her, her head dipping to the ground, and she wept quietly. Across the land, the air echoed with jubilant chants and celebration from those who survived the reign of the Night. Far, far away, the first rays of Sunlight appear once more above the horizon. For everypony except one sorrowful Princess, all will be well once more. |
