I’m still kicking myself for not realizing the Simpsons reference earlier.

Dyx is more of a KFC lover anyway.

“If you two don’t stop bullying Nyx, you two aren’t getting McDonald’s.”

He’s working the pedals

Wait, where’s Spike?

@Bro(ny)  
Still wrong, however.  
This is a Dyx.  

@Background Pony #7A42  
woah thanks for the concise explanation

@Background Pony #F4F0  
bit more complicated than that. Your comparison would fit Moonie more.
 
Past Sins was written as an attempt at giving Nightmare Moon a redemption story.  
Nyx is NMM reincarnated from a failed spell that brought her back without her full power, resulting in her being a filly and having amnesia, because she wasn’t complete.  
Nyx was essentially a vessel for Nightmare Moon for the first 10 chapters and her own indepedant pony.  
Later on, that spell is completed. She visually becomes Nightmare Moon and regains her lost memories but feels betrayed by everyone she once knew, as a result of behind the scenes betrayal and miscommunication. In her mind she now feels the ponies she cared for conspired to get rid of her and believes that Nightmare Moon is all she is, and ever can be from that point forward. Her desire to be NMM is fueled by the pain and betrayal. “What else can you be when the world can only see a Monster?”  
Despite that, her time as Nyx is in constant flux with her true nature.  
Considering her or Nightmare Moons prior plans to be stupid, and not understanding why she would do something so reckless, but at the same time she still believes she “has” to be Nightmare Moon now. Maintaining the facade infront of those who brought her to full strength.  
One big difference is she has become merciful, and hates how soft she is becoming. She was brutal and effective but never did anything that was unnecessary to her plans to rule Equestria.  
At the end of the fanfic, she becomes a bit of both. It’s a really good read, some parts are predictable but enjoyable regardless. Part of the early fandom too.

@Bro(ny)  
Alicorn OC from Past Sins, who is basically a fillified(Made into a filly) version of NMM.

@Bro(ny)  
She my precious bean.

who or what is a dyx

@Napsack  

 
The jokes just write themselves, don’t they?

@Summerium  

 
By making them happier, or by setting them on fire?

@PonyQuarantine  
Like I said, I didn’t believe it. But I thought you should know.

@Background Pony #7A42  
Why you got to be telling me this. I know I’ve slacking, now I got people doing hearsay.

Is it incest to ship them of they’re only adopted?

@PonyQuarantine  
someone on 4chan said apparently you abandoned pony to do only furry stuff now. but I figured that was a complete lie.

Delightful content.

@Summerium  
go look at the thread this is from, anons made like 4 different versions

I need an edit with the kids lighten up a little

Dyx is technically the sun. You don’t get brighter than that.

Soon Twilight will be like “Don’t make me come back there!”
