Description

The second interview with Nightmare Moon. Do you have any idea how hard she is to characterize? I decided to show her as torn apart between her ‘job’ as a villain and the wish for love that lives in every pony. Enjoy.

You either don’t get it or don’t want to get it. We’re talking CANON ponies here, not what fandom is making of them.
 
As long as I don’t get FUCKING CANON PROOF that a pony is hetero, homo or whatever, I refuse to refer to it. Deal with it.
 
And if you don’t like it, then I wonder why you comment on it. Maybe because you don’t get enough attention away from your computer so you try to get it here? Poor guy…

sigh Went through almost all the interviews and this is starting to get really boring. Nightmare Moon as a lonely pony wanting to be loved? For fuck’s sake. And the author of these comics seems to be homophobic, in the previous parts, since it seems that the idea that even one of the characters being non-straight in order to add some diversity is so preposterous to him, even though a big part of the characters never expressed any inclination to either gender - so they can be anywhere on the sexual orientation spectrum. But hey, bronies are only tolerant when it suits them, right?

Oh, you don’t share memories with whomever you possess? That’s a real shame, It’s one of the funnest parts of the brainjack manuever! I got this nifty transforming blade I found that lets me do it at will now! Zip into someone’s head, take it over, and you can ‘remember’ everything they could just as if it was your own memory!
 
Also a shame you did not get to meet Leon, he’s quite an adorable little scamp. >>10079  
Love your nights, hate the frickin sun, makes my eyes all burny and melty and OH ZE PAIN if only one could have the cooling embrace of night all the time!

Tsundere Moon is best fandom version of Moony let’s be honest ;p she even wins with cute/adorable NMM and that’s something.

Good thing my question didn’t get answered, I just can’t harm Luna. Even as Nightmare Moon she is still Luna to me and will always call her Luna.

I still think the constant traps were useless if she could have gotten to the elements destroyed them then have the shards sent ALL over Equestria before the mane six arrived?

Well, I guess that wouldn’t be too bad, least as long as stricter doesn’t mean going from “Oop! You stole from this store, work to pay it back.” to “Oop! You stole from this store, off with your head!”
 
I really like this characterization you came up with. Nightmare Moon was born out of Luna’s desire to be loved by her subjects (at least partially), so maybe it’s not too outlandish to think that she expresses that desire in the positive (wanting genuine love) and the negative (working as a villain). Most insightful of you, I must say.

Together with Moony we will figure how my uniform should look but I guess that black color will be standard. Everything to make my Lady happy

Well, my uniform consists of a white jacket with golden borders and Celestia’s personal crest on the shoulders and white pants. I have no idea how the uniform of Nightmare Moon’s personal servant looks like, but her crest is a white moon on purple.

I guess that shades, black formal suit and other cool stuff are included in this job? After all representing and serving princesses/night queen require class and style
