Would you think about it... if Luna was self aware during those years (and her mind works remotely like a human one) she will probably be utterly batshit. Isolation is not good for one's psyche.

Eternal night that would lead to global famine and uncountable deaths would probably qualify as much more than a spat.

1000 years of banishment is the god-unicorn equivalent to "go to your room, no dinner tonight". The brat will cope.

^ says who? celestia lives on the day-to-day basis despite being immortal, don't try to downplay luna's horror as any less. 1000 years in solitary confinement with nothing to do is nightmare fuel for this troper.

To be fair, Celestia had to use powerful magic to beat Nightmare Moon. What else was she supposed to do?

even more fair, it wasn't even HER magic, just a pre-designed spell that could only work like a script.

Because apparently Luna is more powerful than Celestia.

Nightmare Moon was more powerful than Celestia, that is.

I believe they're going to have a big villain in the second season who was behind the whole thing.

Luna baked brownies for her dear sister. She's just not good with emotions (other than crying, lol)

Dickish? DICKISH? DID YOU NOT WATCH THE FIRST EPISODE? Luna fucking turned into a monster! She wasn't the cute and beautiful navy blue alicorn you see right here when Celestia was forced to banish her to the moon. She was a monster.

1) Darkness wouldn't have just caused famine. It would have caused the end of all life on the planet. Whether everyone starved, froze, or simply suffocated (no sunlight= no photosynthesis=no OXYGEN). Ballpark estimate, the planet wouldn't have survived a fortnight.

My impression though is that Luna was still very young, mentally, So such long-term consequences probably didn't even register. and had been transformed by messed-up magic into something completely irrational, if not outright nuts. Celestia probably had no choice but to imprison her... and probably not enough raw power to cure her.

The first year of her imprisonment, Luna cries at the betrayal. 'How can she do this to me?' she thinks to herself. 'Of all the places, she goes and banishes me to the moon. Its not fair.' The darkness of the void is her only companion now, but the mind is always active.

Her fifteenth year of imprisonment, and her sanity is slowly disappearing. She curls into a fetal position and rocks slowly in place. 'How long has it been? What's that? Is someone there?' Silence answers her thoughts, and in the dark, she wonders if the nights on the surface of the moon are just as empty.

The second century passes by and the years have not been kind to the banished princess. She constantly speaks to herself, sanity far gone. Alone in the moon, she wonders on so many thoughts at once, one can't even begin to find the connecting factor. She lies on her stomach at times, eyes gazing into utter blackness. At times, she lies on her back and battles with her self-loathing.

Half a millenium passes by, and not even being able to roam on the surface of the moon heals the wounds in Luna's heart. At the first sight of the surface, she is struck with an awe that forces her to her knees. Cold tears stream down her face. However, the feeling does not last, once she caught sight of the blazing sun, the symbol of the one whom at a time she once loved, now hated with as much passion as the rays that now pelted her. She retreats back down into the moon when she's had enough.

She would only come out once the moon hides behind the planet. The time she would come out reminded her of many things; anger, jealousy, lack of appreciation, all that she had been experiencing for so long. The solitary time behind the planet made her ponder why she was there. It had been so long since she was on solid earth, back in Equestria, and the memory of her imprisonment burned far into the mind that forgetting it was impossible. However the reason why had all but faded from her. Trying to remember, all she could sum up was the image of her sister Celestia, her horn glowing fiercely and a vortex binding her then darkness.

'Its her fault' she thought angrily.

As the moon orbited once again in front of the sun, Luna gazed down at the world before her. She did not bother to retreat like a coward back into the prison that was her moon. 'She will pay for this' the thought resonated and burned just as fiercely as the sun did behind her, casting a shadow upon the surface.

Some ponies would gaze up, from time to time at night, and see the shadow of a pony whose name had eluded most of the population, except for these select few. They would tell others, but nopony listened to the insanity. They claimed, day and night, that it was there upon the moon; the shadow of the infamous Nightmare Moon.

It's not selective amnesia. I, at least, do not want eternal night and wouldn't mind if they were to actually rule together. Who said that Luna ruling have to mean eternal night anyway? There wasn't eternal day during Celestia's rule.

Also, you'd think that Celestia would have noticed Luna's loneliness and/or jealousy before it got bad enough for her to change into Night Mare Moon, and realize the easy solution of having half of ponies stay up at night. Surely there are some who would be willing to do it. Not to mention that the weapon she used to seal Night Mare Moon away was the same one used to return her to normal. If Celestia had done that instead, they probably could have still come to a compromise.

If Tyrant Celestia has the power to control the Moon, as well as the Sun....

And given that Luna/Nightmare Moon is greater in overall power then Celestia ever could hope to be...

Why wouldn't Luna want to take over Celestias' job in the same way?

Dear Necroceine, with selective amnesia I meant the people forgetting that Luna/Nightmare Moon was by no means the innocent little crying foal they hold so dear.
I too welcome them ruling together as they were meant to. But it saddens me that this fandom that prides itself with love and tolerance still turns quite hateful when it comes to the royal sisters because of some silly fanon.

Keep drinking the Koolaid then Opal, you are forgetting One thing, the winners tend to write the History Books, and for a Thousand years now that would have been just who again exactly?

The winners write the history books, but they don't always lie when doing so. (By that logic, the Allies must've really been the bad guys.) Think about it: if Celestia is really a cruel tyrant who was just trying to get her sister out of the way so she could have the kingdom all to herself, why welcome her back after she was defeated? Luna was powerless and completely at her mercy. She could've imprisoned Luna for another thousand years or just killed her outright. She could've even looked good doing it by claiming that Luna was too dangerous to live and she was doing it for the good of Equestria. But she didn't. It doesn't make sense if she's really evil...but it DOES make sense if she's really good. And really, what sort of tyrannical and oppressive things has Celestia done in her alleged reign of terror? In all her appearances, the worst thing we've seen her do is pretend to sip tea. Oh year, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot have nothing on her.

There are two reasons fans keep portraying Celestia in a negative light: First, she's one of those "too perfect" characters: when someone doesn't display any obvious flaws, the more cynical-minded will assume that they must be hiding a deep, dark secret. Case in point, the rumors about Mister Rogers. The second reason is the glitch in human reasoning that leads to conspiracy theories: as XKCD observed, "When people think they've uncovered a lie, they raise confirmation bias to an art form." They bend over backwards to portray Celestia in the worst way possible, even when it doesn't make any sense to do so, never considering that the conclusion they're reaching for might not be true after all. If you Celestia haters think that doesn't apply to you, then ask yourselves if there's anything that would convince you that she wasn't an evil tyrant. If not, then you haven't reached your conclusion because of evidence, but because it's the conclusion you want to believe.

At worst Celestia just a well meaning big sister who can be insensitive at times, and just wants to hang out with ponines without them sucking up to her

There is a good change Celestia was just as jealous with Luna. Like while Celestia had tons of subjects no of them really knew her she was always Princess first Celestia 25th

Luna, meanwhile the few who was won over were much closer everyone called each other by first name ect, like Luna saw herself more as an artist with the night as her canvas
and it was just Luna who snapped first

something like that

To all of the people who demonize Celestia? What would happen if the moon was all there was? There wouldn't be any plants.
Though 1000 years is overkill. At least in the eyes of a non-immortal.

Two reasons? I think there's a third, the most important one of all. It's funny! Imagining Celestia as a tyrant, troll, or rapist just makes me laugh. The fact that it is such an inaccurate portrayal just adds to the humor.

1000 years of solitude is horrifying. Whether it was justified or not depends on what other options Celestia had. Certainly a cruel imprisonment of Luna is better than eternal night.

It's possible the only magic she had that would work on Nightmare Moon was the thousand-years-on-the-moon spell, and she had no way to terminate it early.

Personally, Tyrant-Celestia is just plain funny. Maybe there's a little of the too-perfect cynicism as well, but it's mostly cause it's funny.

One thing I've wondered is; if the Elements of Harmony can be used to 'purify' Luna, why didn't Celestia do that in the first place? She can obviously use them, and I would imagine she knows a fair bit more about them than Twilight and the others.

As for Eternal Night ending all life, yes that would be the result of no more sun, but consider that this is all to get attention from the ponies. She won't be able to have her nights appreciated if everyone is dead, will she. Nightmare Moon is evil and probably crazy, but I doubt she's stupid.

Also, the idea that a being that perceives the passage of time the same as we do being trapped alone for a thousand years easily garners some sympathy from me, no matter why. I'd rather you just kill me and get it over with.

Okay... so as everyone is talking about the banishment for "1000 years", you do all remember that in the opening of ep1 it said that she was banished "permanently" and that the thousand years was when the stars would aid in her escape, not when her banishment was over, right? It just seems like in a lot of the discussions and comics and fics people forget that.
