Please only post /moon/day threads on Mondays. The last one died and was reposted on a Wednesday here >>41010185
Gee /moon/day, how come your mom lets you have two threads?
>>41023985Autism. Threads must always be made on Monday, like it was never done on different day before.
Drew some morning Moona's
>>41024230pretty! thanks anon
>>41024230I saw this in the last /bale/ screencap. Very pretty. How long have you been drawing, Anon?>>41024243I love pony art made with a physical medium. I wish there was more of it.
Why are there two of these threads up right now?
>>41024230Very cute compilation. Thank you Anon.
good night bump
>>41024282Thanks anon, about one and a half years or so

Would you let her out, /moon/?
>>41026563
>>41026563well, big moon today. Who wouldn't?
>>41026563in a fucking heartbeat>i wish to be immortal>i wish to be your husband>i wish I had the stamina to sexually please you nonstop for days at a time
>>41027662She's so beautiful. I could get lost in her mane.

"Was that necessary?">Anon smirks.>"Only cure for existential dread," He remarks with a wry smile
>>41027684>fixed Nightmare Moon>fixedYou can't fix perfection, Anon
>>41027684i came to the conclusion several years ago that immortality is a curse only if you are forced to be immortal alone. immortality is much more tolerable if not a blessing if you have someone to love and love you in turn forever and ever, and i would gladly walk eternity side by side with the mare I love
>>41026569>>41026881>>41027139Boo!
11000th for Luna's brief but passionate obsession with binary numbers.
>>41028555She developed a secret technique of doing binary maths on abacus.
I don't think this is very on topic, but recently flatmate asked me to play Balder's Gate 3 with him. Not my cup of tea, I thought, but let's give it a try. I made some random character from the presets and went with it called it Skoda Octavia despite no real connection with Tavi, then 2h into game he realized he wanted a different race for his character. So we've started on another save, and it was then that I've got the brilliant idea to recreate Luna as my character.Of course, a woman isn't a pony, but after finding hair and skin and eyes and freckles configuration which tickled my inner moon sense, something clicked. When I'm running with her, I see the blue ponytail with touch of purple highlights flowing. In cutscenes her face is ambitious, but kind too. Whenever a choice in dialogue happens, I ask myself "what would Luna do?", and that I think helps me understand Luna outside of game scenario - I can more easily find this mare's character traits which would be applicable in a given situation. And the game's more fun now that I feel my character feels more ...characteristic than random playable NPC I would have otherwise. It's nice.I picked Astarion as the companion just for my enjoyment, but I think Lulu might have liked this kind of character on some mission.
Does anyone have that picture of the disgusted Nightmare Moon? I see it used as a reaction image all the time, but I have spent 20 minutes on derpi and cannot find it.
>>41031196This one?
>>41031258I think it is very similar to that.
>>41031196She's disappoint of your poni library, anon. you're welcome
>10
>>41031480I swear that still isn't it. She's facing the other direction, and more of her is visible. It might even be Luna, but I could have sworn it was Moony.
>>41031848well, that must be it.
Why does evil moon horse cause pp to be hard?
Did some stretches last night was nice, a bit like meditation. Was stiffer than I realised.Had to run for the train this morning and my lungs did not appreciate it, since then deep exhales have been wheezy. I swear I got hidden lung damage from a nasty 6-month long cough some years back, certainly haven't been the same since.Gonna do more stretches tonight.May Luna guard your dreams tonight frens
>>41032087It's a mystery.
>>41032087
>>41032639I imagine this scene paired with this music from Erik Satie: https://youtu.be/wnacdOIoTBQ?si=QZQzo6NZPD63eZAz
>You let it die editionLike seriously? Luna's general died? Luna? The pony the always wins polls? This fandom really is dead, isn't it?
>>41032658That works really well.Personally I imagine this kind of music:https://youtu.be/zFhfksjf_mY When I see that picture.
>>41032890Thread before was overflown far from monday.There was lack of /moon/ threadThen It was recreated at monday but it was later than usual so probably some haven't bookmarked it.Also there were several anons in false/moon/ thread including me admitting they've seen the moment thread died but for some reasons didn't save it. If continuing thread itself is sacred e.t.c., why have we overflown thread before?
>>41033018>they've seen the moment thread died but for some reasons didn't save itFor me it was "I should think of a creative bump" and then the thread went dark. Why does it feel like there's just not as much inspiration to moonpost as 1-2 years ago? was the gamedev anon doing half of thread's posting?
>>41033299>"I should think of a creative bump" and then the thread went dark.I usualy go with "I should find unique picture that wasn't posted before" but that time it was 9, so I've replied to /pts/ and then it was already 10 that died on autorefresh>Why does it feel like there's just not as much inspiration to moonpostDepends, probably because most default things were discussed and most pictures posted. Obviously there is less new moonfrens than before. Maybe all this ritual managing part with posting unique, keeping alive, not letting die until monday, killing at monday e.t.c. also not helps the situation despite all the benefits because sometimes your >inspirationdoes not match current >number and postcount
>>41033299The 9-5 grind is stunting my inspiration for a lot of things recently and time just flies by, can't believe this thread is almost 5 days old now.Most evenings I come home and my brain is mushy and lumpy so even when I try to come up with something to post it's just blank.Trying to change that though and get that moony energy in me.
>>41032890Even 8 years ago, I remember this general being quiet, dying occasionally. The Moon has phases and so does the general. We just seem to be in a quiet phase right now.as for me...yea I saw the thread, it was on like, page 5, when I went to check it again, I had missed the chance to bump it. Now have some Moona snugs.
>>41031814You can tell this artist read homestuck.
>>41034037I am jealous of your Nightmare Moon plush.
>>41034037Your plushies are so pretty, anon. Is the guy who made them still active?
>>41035128Love my Moony. She looks so odd without her helmet though.
>>41035435>Love my Moony. She looks so pretty without her helmet.ftfy
>>41034533Any chance of being at mare fair? I'm sure she'd love to meet you.>>41035431Thank you! Lanacraft made em. She's still quite active, though she does have a queue a good year long now.
>>41036316These plush moons are so fair I want to snug them!
Since there are multiple anons who worship Luna (and perhaps to a greater extension her sister) have we started a cult or at least formed the foundations of one?
>>41036739I'm honestly kind of surprised it hasnt happened, even ironically. Humans have been worshipping the sun, the moon, and horses since the dawn of time.
>>41036739>have we started a cult or at least formed the foundations of one?It's called /moon/But in all seriousness - true faith doesn't need strict rules, generalized organization structure, hierarchy e.t.c. /moon/schizos generally all have their own hc's and it doesn't look like a good thing to force them to follow one.
?
>>41038131Kys tripfag
>>41037389>/moon/schizos generally all have their own hc's and it doesn't look like a good thing to force them to follow oneThat's what I was thinking would be the main issue if it acted as a traditional religion. But at the same time, Christianity is split up between Catholic, Orthodox, etc.It would be quite cool to have all the pony worshipers unite under one umbrella and form sub-devisions for each deity. Free thinking but all relating to equestria.
>>41038336>Christianity is split upNothing against Christianity, but at this point it already was more about politics than religion.>cool to have all the worshipers uniteAgain, as I was saying - we have /moon/ which is enough. It is convenient being anonymous and online. You can freely share your schizo here without fighting crusades or doing terrorism. We even have rituals about keeping thread and it's schedule. Stuff like >A lot of you, form an official organizationglows. Ofc it's not what you're saying but close.Usually most dogmatic religions are uniting followers not FOR something but AGAINST something else. Do we have real enemies except our own autism?Also my hc allows me to unite with /moon/schizos from other cultures like those, who >>41037020 mentioned. She lives in our collective subconsciousness in multiple forms.There is enough shrines if you know where to look and into irl stuff.
>>41038313>newfaggot seething at based retard boomer
>>41038336>>41038618True moonschizos needs not the ists/isms/ologies of man nor his rotten institutions, the presence of our Lady is enough.
>>41040794>Our ladyOur Lady of the Moon. I like that as a title for her used by us moonschizos.
>>41040794
>>41041536What would you talk about with her?
>>41041604Astronomy, what it's like to enter dreams, what it's like to be a sovereign, what our favorite things are, hobbies, about things that are happening in Equestria, etc.. Better than just talking would be to go for a walk with her; maybe among the palace gardens or to a Canterlit cafe, or something like that.
>>41038618yeah, you're right. It's comfier being schizobros than an organisation. Don't know what I was thinking.
>>41041788Idk, maybe questions shouldn't be so much related to her routine? On the other hand "things that are happening in Equestria" might actually either be better than things happening here, or worse - then it'll turn into "everyone's favorite" talk about "everything's bad and gonna get even worse"
Finally got a Celestia for Moony to play with, feels good to have them as a pair now.
>>41042765Nice, Celestia standing in the shadow of Moony standing in the shadow of Debian jar
>>41033299>the thread went dark.Hey, its /moon/thread. Being dark is good for it. It burned in sunrise when we left it.
>>41044475>light blue eyelidsSo is it makeup or just natural moony feature?
>>41044496On this pictute looks like makeup>>41039334>>41032891On these looks more natural
>>41041604I'd tell her stories from Earth about our history and mythology. We would talk about our passions and interests. >>41044496I think it's makeup
>>41044496>>41044519>>41044875>"Nay, tis not makeup but war paint!"
>>41045241
>>41045241>warpaintIt's an excuse for NM
>>41045246War paint for seducing Anon.
>>41044496It's natural.
Would you expect living with Luna to be more peaceful or adventurous?
>>41047020Peaceful, but never boring.
>>41047020I think there would be plenty of adventure. Luna strikes me as a pony that has a strong curiosity and mischivious streak. I think that goes along with the night theme of her namesake. She would probably be especially adventurous after coming back from the moon. She would want to see how Equestria has changed. And while she is regaining her footing as a head of state alongside her sister, she might seek out quests that benefit Equestria (a way to reconnect with Equestria and its ponies, or something like that).
>>41047045https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c01Kbp36O1s
>>41047827I wish Luna would break Haber's skull with her hooves.
>>41047751There are so many things they could have done with Luna it is truly infuriating. Celestia too, but Luna especially.
>>41047751>She would probably be especially adventurous after coming back from the moonSadly we know that didn't happen. She came to Ponyville a year after her return and acted like it was her first time leaving the castle. Never completely reintegrated into Equestria or played any part as a head of state either.
>>41048643That's what the show says, buy my headcanon says otherwise.
>>41048815NTA but>That's what the show saysSadly, that what reality says. Reintegration to society is a long and hard process. Even after a year, not talking 1000 years. Read about prisoners reintegration problem. Or maybe you know (maybe trough a third party) someone who experienced that - maybe ask them about that. The wbole process is possible but not fast. So not being integrated after a year as >>41048643 mentioned sounds realistic. But>never completely reimtegrated sounds like a headcanon too. (but possible too)I think her adventurousness might have increased over time, but not directly>after coming back
>>41049463>Luna assisting Cadance with manual matchmaking>"That mare's way lewder than she appears to be. Believe Us, We didn't want to but We know.">"Do set her up with that Anon."
>>41049854My Apologies, Dearest Darkie.I have been watching the protests.And now I must slumber.
>>41048649Love this pic>that cocky grin on Nightmare>Luna's "I'm so fed up with you" expressionI suddenly developed a great desire to see those two (and Celly) in a '90 style sitcom.
>>41049859>10Protests keep distracting moonbros. I don't care so i'l save us
>>41049859i am still fucking livid that there was never a NMM villain songi'm envisioning some wierd amalgamation of maleficent's smug haughtiness, scar's ambition, and ursula's seductive methodology when she's singing poor unfortunate souls
>>41050527Maybe it's better than if it was made. There is a reason why it's common opinion that each time they tried to 'develop' character it was getting worse. There is enough intro to NM character to let some theories to develop but to keep mystery e.t.c.The fact that in this exact scene it is shown that it is the only future variation with somehow stable civilization not being destroyed (unlike others including 'true' one) is enough. Song would probably ruin that.
>>41050669fair enough, but that still does not diminish my desire for a nmm villain song of some kind
>>41050943Nightmare Moon didn't get a villain song because it's reserved for villains ^:)
>Is released from the moon>Beats the elements of harmony>Night now lasts forever>Sends sister to the moonnow whatwhat's her end goal?
>>41051518Idk, same as Celestia's implied goal: dealing with all threats e.t.c. but without all this 'tired of being immortal alicorn in power so first student who doesn't betrays you becomes you' stuf. (imagine s1-s7 without alicornization but with darker filter)>beats the elements of harnonyMaybe beats the tree itself and saves us from g%, than maybe releases sister who's rested from being in power and they switch sides again.
>>41052661>One who deeply loves the moonI have found my true sexual identity

>>41051518When I was reading this post less than half awake, I had a thought of which now I only remember that it was referring to Nightie's intelligence being beyond what show could convey.
>>41054615>this is how she enters dreams of ponies>even when the dreams are outdoors
>>41054228>half awake>had a thoughtPlease, for the future, try to record that stuf into some voice recorder app. The most amazing things in human history were created that way. It's interesting to analyze later even if you're not a moonschizo, just for yourself. But if tou are...
>>41054759If you have a microphone use this:https://vocaroo.com/Or if you're phone posting there's probably an app.
>>41051518I always liked the idea that after winning NMM just sort of sits on her ass and twiddles her hooves because she's secretly surprised she got this far and hasn't planned past taking over Equestria.
>>41054773You don't have to share voice itself (considering circumstances it probably will sound gibberish understandable only to you), but when you're awake later having record will help you remembering and restoring the idea \ message better.
>>41054887Ah, fair enough.I misread your post.I'm a little tired myself.I used to use pen and paper to do something similar years ago.I always found using a fountain pen to be more satisfying than anything electronic.These days I'm too lazy or uninspired to write anything.
>>41054894>pen more satisfying than electronicsmaybe, but less reliable. Papers are lost, torn, thrown away, there is no search or dates. I use note-taking on terminally offline old phone with local backups.Sometimes I need to find some of 2-3yo notes because somehow these old messages can start making sense long after you've made them>writing instead of recordingAt some states of mind in which you want to capture the message immediately you won't be able to quickly write some stuff. It's being mostly forgotten the moment you try to form it into a written sentence so recording stream of consciousness right after waking up or before fading away saves more info. You could and should analyze it and write down, but later, being awake\sober\calm\e.t.c.
