Luna/Nightmare Moon: I hate you!
Celestia: You were the Chosen One! It was said that you would destroy the evil, not join them! Bring balance to Equestria, not leave it in darkness!

The way I see it, Luna's resentment didn't transform her, it opened up a way for an evil spirit to manipulate her. Her hurt and anger made her easier to convince to accept a power that could make her superior to her sister.

'Cept that kinda didn't work in the end. The spirit was exorcised by the Elements of Harmony, bringing back the Luna we all love.

But where'd that dark magic spirit go? Was it destroyed? Does it seek a new host? Will it make an appearance in my next fic?

You know, looking at this again, I can almost hear Luna saying. "For the glory of Chaos, dear sister. For the glory.... of Chaos!"

I don't like the idea that Luna's transformation was due to the possession of another being. That would mean Luna's much more innocent for the atrocities she committed, that Celestia's a bitch for banishing her for 1000 years instead of freeing Luna from possession, and that there would be little point to Luna asking for forgiveness in ep 2.

Dear sister, I am starting to believe that Equestria might suit it’s colours a little… darker.

I have to agree with you. It's just too convenient to make it possession by an outside entity. It completely negates any and all responsibility by Luna and makes it into a cheesy "The devil made me do it" cliche. I know most Luna fanboys like it because it preserves the innocent filly picture they built around a character with 20 seconds screen time. However, it just does not set right with me. Good people *can* snap or make wrong decisions and do bad things. The whole possession theory completely negates the forgiveness and reconciliation at the end of Episode 1, part 2.

Yeah.

No possession, no shenanigans. Just a goddess that felt slighted and unappreciated snapping under the combined pressures of her own feelings of inadequacy, jealousy and anger.

The beauty of the image is that it can be interpreted either way. The Nightmarish corruption could come from within or without. Which is the case is left to the viewer.

Here's my interpretation of the scenario: Luna was fed up with her sister's perceived overshadowing of her. Sensing her mind's weakness, Nightmare Moon (as a spirit requiring a host to take physical form) made a deal with her. All Luna was told was that she would receive enough power to become stronger than her sister, but Nightmare Moon ended up taking complete control of her body and using it for her own purposes. However, with the combined power of Celestia and the Elements of Harmony, Nightmare Moon was able to be sealed away. She wasn't capable of totally dispelling Nightmare Moon, though - only the power of friendship can be strong enough to do that, and Celestia was alone.

The motives of Luna and Nightmare Moon differ. Luna only wanted to get even with her sister, whereas Nightmare Moon wanted to completely overthrow her. When Luna was freed, she realized all the damage she had caused by making that one decision, so she was justified in apologizing.

We've already sort of moved away from this topic, but it happened while I was typing. Sorry.

> Celestia was alone

That would explain why it wasn't powerful enough to dispel Nightmare Moon out of her.

My personal theory for what happened WRT Nightmare Moon is that the outside force does not control what you do, it merely brings forth your worst impulses, and gives them free reign. A moment's irritation becomes a burning need for revenge, a flash of anger becomes a passionate desire for destruction, etc. So while you are being influenced, it's still you - the very worst part of you given free reign. It makes it so much worse, since you remember everything, and there's a part of you that says, yes, that's what I SHOULD be doing.

But to the anon's Fire Eel Yena I like your concepts as well.

I'm not in the whole possession and it wasn't actually here. I think it can be said Luna's insecurities are what got the best of her and caused her to transform much Like Pinkie did in Party of one. I like #835's concept though.

Oh wow!
The way I see it Luna was too young and emotionally impulsive to be able to handle the kind of power a God Empress can wield. She became so jealous and angry and felt alone, which means she had nobody to see what was going on until it culmunated in her negative emotions manifesting themselves as NMM. She got so angry it was all she knew how to feel anymore. Anger made her feel strong and she surrendered to temptation and lost herself. The Elements of Harmony purged all that anger out of her and returned her to normal. She couls probably assume NMM form again if she wanted to (she did it once before), but I doubt she would because of all the guilt and bad memories associated with it.

I'm a Luna fanboy and I too hate the idea of an outside force controlling her. Makes the character much less interesting.

Well it could always been evil magic she chose to unleash on herself, aware of the consequences but too hardheaded to care 1000 years ago.

As FireEel mentioned, evil magic =/= possession. It could be a case of one of those ancient forbidden magics that one of the character's is always warned about but they don't take the warning seriously. Or they do take the warning seriously but then are pushed into a situation in which they think the risks and costs of the power outweigh the usefulness it would have in their dire situation.

I wonder if Luna's tranformation was painful.

@FireEel: I agree that it was more "dark magical influence freely chosen" than "demonic possession," but you seem to think Luna was banished as punishment. That's not the case. Celestia wasn't able to turn her sister good, only imprison her to save the world (Probably has something to do with the element of magic being absent). And she regretted it, unless you think she was lying when she tearfully said "I'm sorry too."
