One last thought: Princess Luna became Nightmare Moon due to envy and pride taking over. Would an alicorn like Cadance succumb to a similar fate if she gave into the sadness and self-pity?

I don’t think so…from what we’ve seen of Daybreaker (the closest thing we’ve ever gotten to canon Nightmare Celestia), she didn’t so much as allude to Eternal Day even once. From the sound of it, she wanted it all.Everything. Day, Night, her subjects’ love; all of it… Nightmare Moon’s desire for Eternal Night was born from Luna’s desire for the ponies of Equestria to appreciate her night. Celestia never had any reason to feel as if ponies didn’t appreciate her day.
When Luna became Nightmare Moon, she basically went the extreme, night becoming permanent,(though nothing about dreams becoming nightmares?).
When Celestia supposedly becomes her evil counterpart, it was the same theme, daytime becoming permanent.
Cadance’s evil counterpart.. you could either be cheap and just say that Chrysalis is her evil counterpart, given that she has her family of changelings and they(used to) take love instead of giving..
Oh well Cadance, at least you didn’t kill 30 odd foals to try to save Shining Armour….. This reminds me of that part of Silver’s “Magic Ethics” video….
Can you save my wife?
Maybe, could you kill some kids for me?
Could I!
Silver can make even the most horrible things seem hilarious! I laughed so hard at that scene! Need something funny? Just add Silver’s voice, and… done!

But I’m just imagining.. family to the extreme.

Edited because: Editing
Considering that Shining Armor isn’t an alicorn, it’s only a matter of time.
Those poor unfortunate Crystal Ponies will be the first ones to feel the effects D:
This was also a good comic showing what it might be like if Princess Cadance gives in to despair.
