Huh. I must have missed this one. I know the answer so this one is pure humor. I thought this was the one that makes me... Eh. Her continuing bitterness over being defeated, after promising something that ranged from omnicide to a change in lifestyle for all ponies, in an absolute dictatorship.

Well someone did ask if she still had any anger over Twilight and her friends, and the answer was fairly obvious. Just because you have second thoughts over your course of action, doesn't mean you're gonna be fine-and-dandy over being nearly killed in a horrifically painful fashion.

Second thought usually happen over a second helping of pie. Or painting your house puce. Omnicide falls under the category of "can't put the genie back in the bottle." But then again, no one can see their own errors, even in the face of rational evidence. Fark. Well. Grin and bear it for Hearth's Warming harmony. Things would be awkward enough. Blood, as they say, is thicker than water.

And "Omnicide"? Do I need to write out the entire history of events for this particular "tumblrverse" to you? I'm willing to do it, if only to clear things up for you. I'm not at all white-washing what Luna/Moon did, but the series of even't happening are not literal translations of history written like a fairy tale. And secondly, when someone nearly kills you, you're likely to feel resentful, regardless of circumstance. Not to mention, what indicators are there that Twilight and Co are not default enemies of Moon? How is she to know? She's the one in hiding, remember?

You did already, and I got it. But I tend to take the other side of the scale on the sliding scale of optimism versus cynicism as laid out on the trope page (That the night lasting forever would either kill everything that relied on photosynthesis and destroy the food web, or would force formerly diurnal creatures into an all-night mode, against their will. As I said, I fall on the farther side because it makes the need for response more urgent.)

I know, it sucks to be beaten. But some folk deserve to be beaten, like Zeigfreid on Get Smart, or Doctor Claw or Cobra Commander. But then again, reasoning with her NOW is appropriate. I am NOT your enemy @.@ For reals. When did this start turning antagonistic? I've never been anything but kind to you in all my letters and commentary.

No, no, I know *you* aren't being antagonistic, but the thing is, why would you "reason" with her, when the point is moot, anyway? Moon is already hit that "What the hell was I thinking?" moment,- and besides, she has a lot more pressing issues right now- namely keeping a low profile, and finding allies. It's not like she's out to start a New Nocturnal Empire- survival is the key, and now that she's pregnant, she has a new worries- and stronger awareness of those she loves. She is quintessentially someone who had nothing but the past and old memories- all of those who sided with her during the war are dead- and for centuries, she didn't know what had become of them, assuming the worst. Now here she is, in a strange, softer new Equestria, weak and growing weaker as her pregnancy progresses. Her only potential allies are couple of fail minions who clean the redoubt, a mailmare who's the distant decendant of an old friend, her shadowbolts, and a number of individuals whom she talks to, but aren't even in the same dimension she's in. And the one place the keeps her relatively safe is an incredibly vulnerable location if her enemies discover it.

Not an enviable position, to be sure. I'm more amazed she has minions. And know our greatly beloved muffin-loving mother of one Dinky ^.^

Why reason? Because it's what I do. I live and die by reason, as I have expressed many times before in journals and in conversations with folks. ^.^ It's about all I can do, really. I really want to like this Nightmother Moon, and I'm doing all I can to like her with all I can muster.

I haven't yet mentioned her "minions" (the maid and feral pseudo-kelpies of the lake) on the Tumblr much, I'm still trying to get permission of the creator of one short-lived Tumbler character.

As for reasoning with her, I think that's kind of hard to do with her- not because of stubbornness, but because of the fact that this particular storyline makes it difficult to have a real one-on-one conversation, unlike say, a roleplay. It's difficult to do a back-and forth conversation the way this is set and be fair to the other questioners. Um, I'm gonna note you the rest of this since some of this is for future events.

Alrighty ^.^

still enjoying the pipboy?

Unfortunately, there was an accident, and I'm piecing it back together

you dropped it?

More like I was showing it off at the A/c Repair class, tripped on some wires and it flew from my hands into a 1972 Carrier heat-pump. Thankfully that beast wasn't running. It's missing one of the yellow things, but I can get that at radio shack. the plastic front screen is cracked, but I can fix that as well.

When in doubt, tell them cooties are involved. Very few little colts and fillies want to catch cooties. (Then again, the odds of one of them asking 'but what if I WANT to catch cooties?' just increased because I suggested that.)

*wonders why no one else is 'bugging out' about the Reaper in the background flying to earth?!*

*Constructs a griefer proof bunker complex with his minecraftia technic pack.* *plays clasical music when finished.* Alright, i have THE bunker for keeping YOU safe from the reapers, just not from me or anyone else after that..

No, that's a lake monster, more specifically a nessie-type plesiosaur.
