I know that there are two versions of this song written for Luna. To explain a bit why I chose this particular one, Luna’s Reply, I would like to quote the author of the lyrics, Swords-and-Bandages: _„Another clarification I should perhaps add is my thoughts on how Luna's corruption works. She was obviously in Nightmare Moon mode when she was first released from banishment, though she would have been lucid and repentant when she made her reply to Celestia. Drawing from real-life experiences with depression, I interpret her as being in a constant internal struggle: some days, resentment and anger drive her mad, and the darker side of her dominates her. On days like these she stares with baleful eyes onto Equestria, wishing for destruction. Some days, she understands why everything is the way it is, and rationalizes her situation while remaining emotionally distant from it. Some days, she just wants to go home, but she knows she can't because she must be punished--which makes her mind spiral between guilt, repentance, and despair. Her state of mind was a mix of the last two when she composed this reply._ _When the magic enforcing her banishment broke, some of Luna's emotional restraint may have broken as well, leading to her going Nightmare Moon mode. I suspect, though, that Luna did not lose all of her mind to resentment, and may have been sabotaging herself from the inside in her second attempt to bring the world to eternal night, ending with the Elements giving her a jolt out of her negative emotional cycle in addition to purging her of any external dark influences. Much of her subsequent absence from the show was spent in catching up to the times (to a degree) and getting much-needed emotional healing. All of this, though, is neither here nor there."_ source: www.deviantart.com/swords-and-bandages/art/Luna-s-Reply-351236424 Of course, everybody favours one version and that’s fine. I just personally agree with this quote and therefore chose to stick with it.

@lizellebotha7004 жыл бұрын
this is a really good quote and reason even in the show luna's reply is a good song if there was one in a scene of luna on the moon in the show she liturelly has a nightmare over and over and her reason is " I created the monster to give me the same nightmare each time i sleep to punish myself for the things i did as nightmare moon " LUNA'S WORDS so i think if she was nightmare moon on the moon during her banishment she would sing the other song scolding celetia but if she was luna during her banishment she would sing luna's reply so i like both songs equally but if i had to choose a song that really repersents luna , Luna's reply then , but i had to choose what best repersents nightmare moon the other one

The addition of the demon soldiers gave a lot more context to the battle which was so cool. I always thought that the show just skimmed over it like “oh here you go” like they didn’t care. This adds more context and I love it. The jewelry Luna wears on her dream realm is so pretty. I also like that you made this whole video seem like she was dreaming this whole video until the very end. Nice touch.

That would make it perfect, too. ^.^

This song is just as brilliant as Celestia’s lullaby. She felt so guilty as well as Celestia because she believed that she was to blame for this and she didn’t feel any actual anger towards her sister. It’s amazing how they’re not furious at each other but rather devastated that this was the outcome of a tragedy which both of them couldn’t forgive themselves for. This could have gone too ways but I believe that out of both of the brilliant outcomes whether they were angry or not at each other I believe them just holding guilt to themselves is the best of the two although they’re all certainly brilliant and interesting. And Luna actually admired her sister for being brave enough to banish her sister which is an interesting choice but it makes sense that she wouldn’t be mad because she knew how horrible her actions were. I also noticed that Luna was on the brink of tears as she sang. But when she came out of the moon the tantapus took control of her mind again and forced her to do the horrible things she did.

I love Luna’s lines and these moments. She begs, in tears: “Sister, please take me back. Please,” I love the way her horn glows. “Look out on her kingdom and sigh,” “Dejected, she cried “Surely, there is no pony who loves me or finds any love in my night.” “Celestia, you loved me much more than I knew.” She tries to reach out, but her wing passes through Celestia. She gazes at the sky, crying in pain & loneliness.
