I feel like Nightmare Moon and Luna are the same being.



When you think about it, it wasn't that Luna wanted to completely shower the world in her Night for all eternity, it was that she wanted her night to be as appreciated as Celestia's Day was. I think Celestia rejected the idea, and that it was then that Luna let her emotions pour out, resulting into her transforming into a physical state that made her more up-to-par with Celestia.

NMM was the result of those bottled up, negative emotions that had been going through Luna. I think that Luna can in fact control her NMM side, as she did in Luna Eclipse.

And I think that it was because of her bottled up anger and bitterness towards her sister that she went, well, psycho when she came back.



Anyways, headcanon aside, your amazing. Love this art. <3
