Haha. I used to think this as well. But then again, a 1000 years is a long time, so she could've calmed down, and when she realized there's no way out, she could've transformed again to make a way out. Or whatever.

I feel like it was rage at first, then sadness, madness, and finally anticipation

I think NMM is just such a cruel entity, she lashed out at Luna by intentionally withdrawing and making Luna suffer the brunt of the isolation.

Isn't NNM a demon or something that took over Luna

Well, faust DID say that NMM was some form of sentient magic. and knowing the character that NMM established for herself, she leads me to think of her as cruel in a way where if the only person left alive was her closest ally, she would turn on said ally just because it is in her nature to cause grief and pain.

plus, she wouldn't have to suffer nearly as much as if she had stayed out.

so basically: informed speculation.

I don't know, it just seems a bit contrived. In other words, she took control, then let go of control, only to take control right before the reappearance?

As for the speculation of NMM pulling back to leave Luna on the moon, that's more of a villain cliche/trope than anything. If Nightmare Moon was a separate entity, wouldn't it stand to reason that she would more likely keep close to Luna, playing the part of the "only friend" slowly working to further convince Luna that what happened was treachery by Celestia? After a thousand years of just those two there, NMM would have had Luna brainwashed, if not in the regressive state.

It was supposed to be one of those more cartoony meltdowns

If she was planning for 1000 years she would probably have actually had a good plan rather than the hastily constructed bullcrap she did have

no, she spent 1000 years making portalable surfaces out of moon dust and waiting for celestia to accidentally put her mirror in perfect alignment with her window

I think that despite the motivation, it's a safe bet that as a separate entity, it probably at least went dormant for long periods of time. it's made apparent NMM was pretty much just using luna by the time of the series, so she would probably use her as a stand in for her own punishment so NMM didn't have to deal with the grief herself.

The show treated NMM more like a cancer or a demon, in that once it's in, it takes external measures to get out, so it was able to hide itself snugly inside Luna for a century or two, re emerge to plot some for a few decades then duck back down again.

I mean if NMM were really brainwashing luna instead of simply posessing her form, then why was she so quick to beg forgiveness and show regret when she was freed from NMM?

I don't think NMM was ever "present" on the surface of the moon, exactly. Her profile appeared in the maria, which suggests something more metaphysical than Apollo 11.
But I do believe she was NMM the entire time.
