There would be games to play, stories to write. I always pictured her as an amazing, if troubled artist, I'm sure she could use a partner in that endeavor. If she didn't already play an instrument, I'm sure I could talk her into the both of us picking one up. If she already did, then I'd be practicing in secret until I was good enough to play with her.

>Well, here you were, at that mysterious other place of meaning, with a perfect void of night blemished by a single beauty mark of moon and a half million tattered souls who dare not look at something as perfect and hollow as a plastic plant. Heh, you're pretty sure if you had one of those when you came here, they'd've been equally horrified.
>But you didn't, and you were here, with the same sentiments of longing glory that told you something was wrong. But it was beyond your power to fix. Kinda felt like playing therapist to god.

>You didn't like it. This place was supposed to be different. And here you were, fighting the same demons and ambiguities. Different forms didn't count for much.
>But still, here, like at home, despite all the fears and anxieties, you could look at the moon. There was still someone there, so at least, well, at least you weren't alone.

What follows are mere thoughts.

Luna's return was arguably one of the most important events to happen over the course of the show, which is so incredibly damning because of how little it seemed to have mattered. It is a favored headcanon of mine, though outright contradicted by the first episode, that without Luna, the stars wouldn't shine. What was the first thought of all the ponies who gazed upwards on Equestria's longest night? My prose is... indulgent, excessive even (I'm half tempted to do a reading, but I think that's just my ego and pretension talking). But often I find the biggest reason fanfics trying to communicate just why Luna's nightbringing role matters fail is because they never evoke the power the night sky can bring. Part of me feels it is because there's never really anything believable about why her presence mattered for it, not from the show, and usually not in the fic itself, just someone gushing in a rather... to put it nicely, predictable way. ("You appreciate my night? I love you forever!"). (Sidenote: I have thought the legend Twilight reads from the beginning of the series should be read as just that, a legend, with some understanding from a scholar, that what really happened was lost to time, but maybe that's anachronistic. Regardless, I somewhat doubt the story told to ponies was exactly what happened)

Given the canon provided, it's hard to come up with a compelling feeling of, well, why did it matter? We were fucking ready for anything to answer that question, and nothing did. Not anything that addressed the role of a goddess.And we all know that was a fucking giant wasted opportunity. And that motivated my idea of the stars going out, making a sort of, lovecraftian horror in a new mode (albeit in the same mode mlp was already operating in, i was just trying to find a place for luna in it).Whereas Lovecraft's gods were so far beyond Man such that we'd rather not see them, Equestria's relationship with nature and the divine has always had a place for ponies in it, where both the ponies and the nature needed each other (Winter wrap up is the big example of this). Luna needed ponies. I suppose I also wanted to evoke why the ponies needed her too.

>>40332802
But it is beyond that, to me, its not even a matter of needing to evoke something strange and ethereal and dreamy, as we are wont to do with anything otherworldly, but rather something immediate, and real, and soulful (but not a strange or even the artistic/genuine concept of the soul, rather the immediate one, that we are all intimately familiar with, the immediate nature of our own being, for anyone who is not currently disassociating). There have been times when I have faced the stars, and I could only imagine that what I was feeling was what ancient prophets felt when they were facing their gods. It is what I understand religious ecstasy to mean, stranger still for me, not believing in any of these religions, and so coming very ill equipped to face it. Looking at the pictures of Saturn's rings and planetary nebula, the stars were more beautiful than the ancients could have imagined. But I suppose that is why I relate it here. Because that is what enchanted me to Luna, at least in part. Manifesting the ethereal as real, I suppose. Still, my thoughts on describing such moments of appreciation of stellar beauty are ladened with a sentiment of, If it matters, then it should be that when facing it, nothing else does. At least, until it becomes a part of you. Something not so easily forgotten, as much as we are to forget every other relation we have to nature. But, as Schiller says, man's relation to the sublime is fleeting

Still, it really does sadden me how few people have seen even a fraction of the true night's sky.
I suppose as some small comfort, if all you're able to see is a few stars, imagine how hard Luna must be trying to show them to you.

There is some irony to this entire thing though, We speak of horror when we say "the stars are going out", here instead, I speak of the stars coming back. We should miss them, yet despite their very real absence in most of our lives, Most people don't even acknowledge such absence. In a sense, the world we're in now is exactly one that Luna would feel neglected in. We don't try to live in the night, we try to extend the day.
Such is the alienation of industrial society I suppose. The stars, space, and night generally and from that their personification were my initial fascination with Luna, that and a history of problems managing my rage, which too had caused me to hurt those around me. The shame I felt from that was a very lonely feeling. Now though, my interest is with the god, and what being a world of living gods would mean. In both cases, it seems like I'm trying to from some sense of alienation.

>>40332811
From the PoV of canon logic though, why the stars went out is still open to interpretation in the context of this green. Given how the stars will aid in her escape, it raises the question of if they were gone (only existing by being placed there by Luna), or just veiled. Or if they too were banished, and their return was what would bring NMM back, before or alongside her. But the prophecy does imply that they wished for her return. Personally, I'd've liked them to have had a reason to miss her. Perhaps they went dark in mourning. This of course implies agency and attitudes to the stars themselves, an idea I think I've seen some fics play with, but given how this idea stems from a change to the show itself, I'm not sure if it would have worked in the show narratively.

I have another idea for a green about revolving around dreamwalking and Luna's banishment that I hope to write at some point, in a similar vein as all of this. It'll prob be a one-shot aswell, so pretty short. I don't want to give too much detail, this and that green have a single central thrust that makes up most of the value of them, and I don't want to give it away too readily.

I have other thoughts, but I've been sitting on this for long enough, and I wanted to show it to you all as opposed to ceaselessly ruminating.

A much needed bump before work so I can read all this neat little headcanon more thoroughly when I get back. I thought /moon/ is done with discussion and fan theories forever. Thank you friend for proving me wrong.

Idk if that was the case. A lot of her happiness was probably just being elated that she wasn't on the moon and an initial rush at beating Celestia. It's like she got everything she thought she wanted all at once, of course she'd be happy.
The problem is that she wouldn't be content, eventually the rush would fade, and she'd be even more miserable after her victory proved unsatisfying in the long run.

See, I don't think that's the case. I think you're close to what Luna wants it to be. But I think that's the secret that deep down, gnaws at Luna's mind.
I think she loved it. That she loved every moment of being tall dark and edgy. She never felt more alive than when when she was being the unrepentant monster. Toying with ponies lives, realizing she could kill them in a moment, and actually considering it, brought her true joy.
That's what left her leaving sacrificial offerings so Nightmare Moon wouldn't consume her again. That's made her create a dream monster that'd allow her to associate being Nightmare Moon with pain and horror. She's terrified of herself. Of what she's capable of doing. Of how much she liked it. Of that little part of her that's always looking for an excuse to do it again.

So she's just a monster with an artificial conscience? Sounds like you just want NMM to be daybreaker but just like Black Snooty's design.

Artificial? Far from it! It's all her. Her conscience is every bit her, just as much as Nightmare is. We are all the sum of our choices, Anon. Luna chooses not to give in every night she gets up and goes to work. No different than when you have your own intrusive thoughts. The difference is that she let them win once. She knows exactly how good it felt to revel in her vices, but she still chooses to deny them. It makes her one of the most noble characters in the show. Noble, but miserable.
>Daybreaker's personality
Is what, exactly? The only appearance she had was as a sociopathic Celestia in Poochie's nightmare.

>>40336891
True but I always saw her more as a Macbeth, Titus, or Count of Monte Cristo than just someone with a repressed sadistic streak. Because the latter just makes me think of a lot of poorly written seinen characters. I think her primary motivator is revenge and a desire for respect rather than just the enjoyment of toying with others for the sake of it. She was happy because for the first time ever she was able to make ponies respect her and had achieved her vengeance after a thousand years of stewing in captivity. She finally had what she thought was an easy way to get the attention she felt she needed and upstage her unintentionally neglectful/abusive sister.
The reason she's unhappy is because post Luna eclipsed she begins to think she could've gotten that respect without resorting to villainy and regrets taking the easy road which would inevitably be a series of short lived triumphs and a gnawing insecurity. I also think that she'd feel lost without a Celestia to hate.

I'm not trying to say it's JUST a sadistic streak. While I don't know Titus, and I refuse to read anything written by a Frenchman, wasn't Macbeth originally driven by a lust for power? That's what I'm saying Nightmare/Luna was after. Power over ponies. If it were just a sadistic streak, she could have killed the mane 6 at any time upon her return. She could have chained them up like she did Spike in the alternate timeline, she could have tortured them, hell, she could have smashed Twilight's skull like she did the Elements. But she didn't. She didn't even attack Twilight until Twilight charged at her. That was Nightmare playing god, yea, but not a sadistic god.
>I also think that she'd feel lost without a Celestia to hate.
I completely disagree with that. This thread especially has a weird tendency to view Luna as a dog chasing a car. An idiot who never thought anything through. Like the whole Nightmare Moon thing was just one long temper tantrum. I don't ever see it like that. I think she had some grandiose, Machiavellian plans. She had a vision of an Equestria under her sole rule, and she was going to drag it there kicking and screaming if she had to. That's what I see with the s5 finale. This ain't something made by a pony who's lost and doesn't know what to do.

It was a desire for respect and stability that slowly warped into a hunger for power. Macbeth was a hardworking dude who just wanted Duncan sempai to notice him, only for his belief in his fated right to respect and authority consumed him after the witches. As he thought that the universe was rewarding him with the inalienable right to be king.

>That's what I'm saying Nightmare/Luna was after. Power over ponies. If it were just a sadistic streak, she could have killed the mane 6 at any time upon her return.

She didn't even attack Twilight until Twilight charged at her. That was Nightmare playing god, yea, but not a sadistic god.

She wants power because she wants to be appreciated, it's literally in the first episode. Is she power hungry? Definitely but power wasn't the main goal. In her origin story, what drove her to villainy was ponies spurning her night and neglect from her sister.


> I think she had some grandiose, Machiavellian plans. She had a vision of an Equestria under her sole rule, and she was going to drag it there kicking and screaming if she had to.

I doubt that she had one that was very complicated at first beyond 'make it eternal night so no one rejects my art'. Because that's what she is, an artist. Everything else was secondary to her because making night, and forcing ponies to appreciate it was her entire M.O.
Secondly she believed that Celestia was the obstacle between her and the attention, admiration and respect she thought she deserved. But the problem is that taking it by force as a rogue agent, and then radically shifting the cosmos itself in one night will still breed fear at best or resentment at worst. She'll be on a continuous cycle of destroying the perceived obstacle and still not getting what she truly wants.

A similar idea is used in The Enchanted Kingdom. Not that the stars are gone, per se, but that they must be brought out along with the Moon, and Cadence, the sole princess still capable of doing so, has no talent for it - to paraphrase Pratchett, Luna brought out the stars while Cadence can only do burning balls of gas.
Regrettably it's only mentioned in a single scene - namely, when Luna is freed and proves so, by not only bringing out the night out of order (which some other ponies can do), but painting the Dreamer's Canvas in the way only she can, so it's not worth reading just for Luna.

I did, am continuing to do so, and will always do so, so it's probably less of a gander and more of a stare.

Nah, it’s fake sadly. But I wouldn’t mind growing some lavender some time, it’s very beautiful.
>>40347018
>Luna loves lavender because it reminds her of happy memories when she was very young and happy and carefree even before she was a princess. She always loved the color and the smell. One of the things that first attracted her to (you) was the fact that you admired her nightly decorations of it. When (you) did ask her out(you had been friends for a couple months) it was on hearts and hooves day and you left a beautiful card at her door with a vase of lavender and some chocolate chip cookies. She still keeps the card with the pressed and dried lavender inside.

I was surprised I was able to come up with something somewhat at this point too lol.

>>40339804
Enchanted library has been on my radar for a while, but I remember reading Everyday life with guardmares wondering when Luna would show up cause of the tag and ran into what sounds like the same issue. Barring that though, would you recommend it?
I like the Pratchett line, it reminds of (paraphrasing Kafka) there is hope, but not for us.

>>40339837
Of course. I hope for your love and understanding of her to grow.

>Barring that though, would you recommend it?
I would but I have an extremely low quality bar, so fics I enjoy aren't necessarily enjoyed by everyone (especially by people prone to nitpicking details).
It's an extreme AU Rarity x Alicorn Twilight romance (with Kingdom being far less developed Pinkie x Luna, and going by the cover, Carousel will involve Applejack x Cadence and Fluttershy x Celestia), and because of AU-ness it has a lot of dedicated worldbuilding to explain the different Equestria.
It also has real Hollow Shades instead of the retarded bullshit "canon" did!
>>40341659
>I don't know much of the deep lore on Luna but I always thought she was princess of the Night, not just the Moon.
And that is the plot of Sharing the Night, where the premise is that Twilight becomes an alicorn of the Stars... which Luna already was. Yes, as tags indicate, it's Tuna. It's also been written over 7 years, from 2012 to 2019, so quality might vary significantly.

>sometimes (you) and Luna just hang out in her tower room naked, not even in a horny way, though sex often does happen, but more in a close romantic way, you both lay by the fire, usually with a blanket cacooning you both close together as she and (you) talk about nothing in particular. Those are cozy times.

Which one of those is the prettier moon, anon?

Seems like it's full moon-ish tonight. Finally had the combination of
>late wakeup hour
>no clouds
>long lens
together. Unfortunately, three issues became apparent:
>135mm on APS-C isn't enough, maybe with a large crop
>clouds are gone, trees between balcony and sky aren't
>the amount of sleep remaining for me tonight is not officially endorsed in proper sleeping etiquette
So I've got no pics to share, but it was still cool to see something of hers.

>Out a night walk
>Enjoy the cool night air after a miserable day of sweltering heat
>Look up at the night sky
>The moon is full and is shinning brightly
>Still walking while admiring the night sky, even starting to see some real stars because no-one has replaced the dead street lights
>Trip over something and land face first on the road
>Look around to see if anyone saw
>Cut my walk short and retreat back to the house
I imagined her giggling at the situation while on the way back.

>>40357659
that's what you get for staring anon

>>40357659
Whoops, today isn’t a full moon. I’ve got to work on memorizing the moon phases and constellations.

I think at first she'd be worried that you got hurt and only when she realizes you're ok she'd start giggling merrily.

Delightful! Satisfied, relaxed, with an artistic side - I love seeing her like this. The framing is pretty nice too, the way clouds envelope her but night sky leaves the horizons wide open.
Something I would consider putting on a wall, maybe.
Thank you.

yeah it is. its sad she neve got more stuff. i am one of those people who like the later season princess episodes but i kinda wish they both had a like 3 more episodes spread around.

Dare I say, based. Warms my heart that someone, somewhere is being paid to curate Luna content.
