It's been a hecking while but I am starting back up again over there! Feel free to follow and interact! I've just started releasing world building stuff!
Important Announcement
I have decided to revamp the story and character (slightly) of this blog. I have created a new blog to house the revamp, and have renamed this one.
You can find it here:

You lost part of your soul and the tantabus filled the gaps? Well...emm...how did Tia and Twilight react to all of this? You weren't shot on sight by the Royal guards, right?
“What?” She asked, confused as to where this was coming from. “Tia already figured it was a possibility. But... who is Twilight? And why would my own guards attack me?”

Princess... May I suggest you try speaking with a zebra shaman? Maybe what a pony could not do, they could do, they are experts in strange things, with luck maybe you could find a way to control the Tantabus.
“Perhaps? Though I doubt it has anything to do with the race. Tantibus is immensely, and keeping me alive. There are too many negatives to extracting or obliterating him.” Nightmare did consider the option a few times. But at this point, getting rid of Tantibus did not seem like the answer to the problem.
{Moon to Moon} "A whisper beckons thee to lock tight the cell of thine own sister and blames victim for her wounds," Moon laughed harder. "Celestia's spirit weeps blood and you bemoan her for being less because of the wounds thou inflicted. Seems to me..." she smiled "Tantibus is well at work and what a show it is. Such cruelty without measure. Revenge being taken and beautified as some form of perverse mercy. You give me ideas!"
“She could have very well stopped my rage, and prevented the deaths of thousands in Canterlot. Yet, she chose to be selfish and refuse to fight me. Now, in my calming, I realize her inability to put her nation over her sister. Thus, she is unfit to rule it.” Nightmare explains, doing her best to ignore the taunts and insults.They meant little to her.
Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the finest of them all?
“I believe this is the part where Nightmare says...” Celestia pauses as she prepares her most mocking impression of her sister. “It’s me, of course. There can be no other.”
{Moon to Moon} "Ahahahhaha! Celestia will /never/ be the same, Luna. You have destroyed her, hahaha." Moon laughed. "And you cannot accept that, poor filly. Are you in there, Tantabus? I think your hostess is becoming soft. She cowers at the voices in her head, Tantabus. She even denies she is you. One and the same. There is no Luna. Only Tantabus."
“You say that as if I don’t already know that.” Nightmare snorted. “Why do you think I am not bothering to help her recover? If she wants to be even half the mare she once was, she will have to learn to adapt on her own.” A low growl came from the Queen, before she takes a deep breath to calm down.
“And you are right. Luna is gone. But Tantibus has failed. I am in control now, and as long as I am, he will remain but a whisper to me.”
My my, dear Queen has your mane gotten longer? It is absolutely stunning~
“Why thank you.” She happily replies. “Though, truthfully, it is the same as it has always been. However, that does mean this is natural.” Moon pauses, a knowing grin on her face. “So take the time to soak it all in.”
Anonymous asked:
Luna, maybe your problem is that you need to show the Tantabus who is the boss. Is your body, not the Tantabus, let the Tantabus feel the wrath of the night and the lady of the moon, you need to control it not let it control you, while the Tantabus is half of your soul corrupting and making you more angry is because you let it, you need to show that you are the boss.
“Do you think I wanted this curse? Do you think I asked for any of this?” She asked with a sharp growl. “What do you think I am trying to do here! Why do you think I avoid violence as much as I can, or have others deal with prisoners and such. My anger, hate, and rage fuel my darker side. And it definitely doesn’t help when accusations like this are being made all the time!” Moon yelled angrily, before realizing what she was doing and taking a deep breath.
“I am sorry. You must understand.” She sighed, closing her eyes and tilting her head towards the floor. “I hear whispers in my head. The darkness, it calls me to do it’s bidding. It taunts me to strike a nerve. All the while, feeding on any mistake I make. This curse... it is breaking me.”
Anonymous asked:
So... Why the effort? I mean, if ponies don't like you, you should tell them "F*ck you"... They liked Celestia? Well, you don't need them. I mean, why do you really want to be Princess or Queen and rule them all? So that they cry at you or call your monster or you are flooded with paperwork? You should just leave them, maybe visit Celestia one day at the year and travel far away to do whatever you want.
“Are you really that stupid? Or are you just messing with me?” The Queen groaned. Perhaps things weren’t as obvious to others as they were to her.
“Doing that would not benefit anyone, not even me. Celestia is not fit to rule. Not in her current state. She is barely even fit to advise.” Nightmare stated, shaking her head slightly as she did. “Which is partially my fault. A lot of this is my fault. I cannot just abandon something I caused. At least, not without cleaning it up first.”
Anonymous asked:
What is the problem with how you are Luna? I mean, ponies change, sure you are a little more dark, but before the Tantabus got you, the Luna from them was different from the Luna of years ago, you just changed a little but you are still Luna.
“Nearly half my soul is corrupted by Tantibus’s presence.” She replied coldly, clearly not agreeing with what was said. “The mind, soul, and body are connected. Both my body and mind were altered by what Tantibus did. I am no longer Luna, nir do I want to be.” Nightmare lied. She did wish she could go back to being her trye self again. But that wish would never be a reality, so why try?
“Luna was weak. She couldn’t even handle herself, and the entire world paid for it in blood, sweat, and tears. I am not her. I am not weak!” The Queen stomped her hoof, cracking the floor beneath her with ease.
Wait, the tantabus forced merged with you? I-i'm sorry Luna, your appearance really caught me off guard. I mean, you basically had the equivalent of any random pony falling into a tar pit and coming out looking like Sombra, are you alright?
“This is the enchanted body that Tantobus gave me before he was forced to merge with my soul. Before the elements hit me, i had lost a large chunk of my soul, usually by sacrificing pieces of it. Tantibus replaced those pieces with corruption and darkness, keeping me alive.” She sighed and looked up, a stern look on her face. She was clearly conflicted on ger current state of being.
“After the elements hit me, they ourged the darkness and corruption in my soul. I had lost too much of my soul for me to survive very long without it. So, against my pleas, tantibus used himself to repair my soul. Doing so perminantly changed by body into Nightmare Moon, as I was no longer able to survive as just Luna.”
You have a parasprite inside of you? You don't refer to Luna, right?
“I am Luna.” She replies, disgusted that she had to speak the name herself. “Or at least, I was. Up until Tantibus merged with my soul, causing me to truly become Nightmare Moon.”
Anonymous asked:
Princess Luna, if instead of 'eternal night' so that ponies appreaciated your night... Did you think of giving them eternal day? Let them get the day they wanted, stop protecting them from the nightmares and maybe leave to somewhere. If you did that, I could guess that in a couple of days they could ask you to return and think of you as best princess... Of course that is hypothetical as it should had happened before you transformed into Nightmare Moon.
“As much as I would like to do that, it would not accomplish anything. At least, not anything useful.” She answered, a touch of sadness in her voice. She would just have to give her subjects time to adjust.

Of course you are the best queen, after all Discord is the best Princess *Show her a image of Discord with a fake long pink horn and fake big pink wings wearing a crown*
“I am not sure if I should be amused, or if I should be disappointed...” The Queen eventually gave up and shook her head. She wasn’t going to pull her hair out about it.
