Basically a long time accepted fan-canon term for "lesbian pony."

Ah, Luna was responsible for creating eternal night, and made several murder attempts on our heroines when they tried to stop her. She's even more of a dick than any other character on this show. Or at least was during most of her screentime.

^She wanted people to appreciate the work she did, and was afraid she was gonna get locked in the moon for another 1000 years...She's got an excuse.

^ ^ Kind of easy excuses for, you know, cataclysmic rearrangement of the cosmos and multiple cold-blooded ponycide attempts.

Yea but would you completely willing to admit that you WOULDN'T do the same? Plus, a thousand years can really make someone a little… soft minded…

^...Yes, I WOULD, in fact, be completely willing to admit that I wouldn't cause a worldwide catastrophe to get people to appreciate my work.
Look, I too want to see more of Luna, and I understand that people find her sympathetic...but I'm getting tired of people constantly trying to reinterpret the show to make her into some kind of pure-as-snow victim (and even more tired of those trying to reinterpret Celestia as a monster. It's funny as a JOKE, but a lot of people seem to actually MEAN it...)

granted, she appeared to have been literally POSSESSED by something....magic gone wrong, or something similar. Celestia couldn't exorcise what had taken over her, so had to imprison her.... until she had a pupil who could.

^^All the shift to eternal night did was make it dark. It didn't cause cataclysmic changes to the world. It's freaking magic. That would no doubt have some really bad effects in time, but there's a fair chance that the dark-god pony could work around that (like with plants that could grow in the near-dark).
As for the attempts on the ponies lives, those seemed half-hearted. They were there, but mostly aimed at making them give up (for example, cutting the rope to the bridge would have been much more effective while they were on it).

Considering how horrible solitary confinement is for a human, who is a less social being than these ponies, it was probably more terrible. Since all Nightmare Moon had to look forward was another thousand years on the moon, I can see why she'd
be willing to do some pretty horrible stuff to prevent it from happening again. That's psychological torture for you.

But, in all honesty, I don't think that really applies - I brought it up since your thoughts seem to gravitate around such things.

Nightmare Moon wasn't truly Luna or vice versa, but rather a force of malevolence. Nightmare Moon started out pretty bad, and became rather worse after her cosmic time out.
Luna, on the other hand, was just a young god-pony that did her best until the sadness and jealousy overcame her, and she changed into something not quite herself. That's not great, but all the ponies seem fiercely protective and proud of their special talents, so it was probably nearly (but not entirely) unavoidable.

TL;DR: Luna wasn't a "pure-as-snow victim," and Celestia isn't a monster, but neither is Celestia perfect and Luna a monster.

^ She cracked the cliff they were standing on in two. She let an angry manticore loose on them. I don't believe her attempts on their lives were "half-hearted" so much as incompetent.
As for the solitary confinement, we don't really know the conditions it was in - wouldn't surprise me if Luna was in a state of stasis during that millennium.
And "Night Mare Moon wasn't truly Luna"? Sorry, not seeing it. Night Mare Moon, near as I can tell, wasn't a separate entity so much as the persona Luna adopted when she got too wrapped up in her anger and inferiority complex.
I'm not saying Luna is a monster. I'm saying she's a bratty kid with far more power than she has the wisdom to handle, and an unfortunate lack of consideration for other people (though she will hopefully grow out of that).

Didn't Lauren already say that something made Luna evil?

@#12718 I'm pretty sure Lauren or someone else mentioned that sunlight is necessary for them to have food (plants need sunlight!), just like in our world.

Like #19345 said, apparently "something or someone" contributed to Luna's transformation in some way--that it wasn't all her.

@#13124
>wouldn't surprise me if Luna was in a state of stasis during that millennium.
But...one of Luna's two lines was "I missed you so much, big sister." Unless she was lying, or she was conscious while in said stasis, this makes no sense. She remembers her time in/on the moon.

My theory is that while someone/thing was behind her transformation, she was still Luna, just without any conscience. Like Spider-Man with the symbiote. He was still "himself", mostly, just if he had no restraint.

Wasn't it said that plants still work normally in this world? So Luna really would have killed millions.

That said, I do agree. I'm really tired of this Luna is 'pure' and Celestia is a 'tyrant.' Its stupid! The truth of the matter is, is that Luna had a good reason to be mad, but that excuse does not cover hurting others, and possibly killing thousands. She made a mistake, and all we can do is forgive and hope she can redeem herself.
