What do you think Luna/NightmareMoon did on the moon?

[Squarity 12]

She got absurdly good at Sudoku.

[StoneCold 144]

Listen to Led Zeppelin, or maybe play golf

 

[Venomous 18,815]

I feel like she went into a deep deep slumber.

[Grtxkkyz 387]

Perhaps she was all shackled and chained up by some sort of magical prison which progressively became weaker for every year that passed all while she plotted her evil comeback

This mystery was already solved a while ago by , aka Dewdlz at the time, in his blog.

Sleep, Sleep, Sleep and Sleep more.

Enter a coma.

That is about it.

Just to let you know I moved your topic to Show Discussion as this thread involvers a discussion centered around a character and lore.

 

Thanks.

She wasn't really on the moon, she was in the moon. Like Jeric said, she was probably in suspended animation.

[Shikilicious 69]

She tried building a Dragonzord.

[Melted Dog 161]

WOONASTUCK

But yes, suspended animation.

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

Well given that there's no air on the moon. Or food. Or water. And that that Nightmare Moon symbol was on the moon. I'd say she was unconscious as she was bound inside of the moon.

[Splendormane 203]

Sleep XD thats what i would do

[SCS 7,445]

I feel like one of the main reasons why she was banished to the moon was to isolate her completely. She wanted to harm others, so she temporarily lost the right to be around others. 

 

My guess is that, therefore, she didn't do much of anything at all other than think a lot.

[Critical Mass 178]

Well I found out what she was doing...

[Zoraxe 546]

Or... she was in the moon, like sealed and unable to do anything, except think, because she was still aware the entire time!

 

[Lunar Sapphire 30]

It was already answered in the comics. She was the queen of a race of shadowy darkness things that corrupted the animals that lived on the moon and made a kingdom of dark shadow monsters!

[Prince Firemane 309]

I haven't read the comics, so I can't help it if what I say has already been disproven by them. I believe that while Nightmare Moon's body and soul were trapped in some kind of suspended animation, while her mind was fully aware. It seemed upon her return that she was aware of her time gone. I have a whole, very detailed headcanon on Luna's descent and banishment, but this probably isn't the place to post it.

[sweetolebob18 724]

IMO, she did on the moon what bears do in the woods

[Argumedies 1,748]

Hibernate

 

 

Id like to think she slept through that ordeal. Which was why i was rather upset with thr IDW comic version.

[The Awesome One 1,314]

Disregard the comics and substitute own headcanon.

 

She spent the whole thousand years conscious and aware of what was going on in Equestria. Watching and waiting for the day she would escape. Also probably thinking of colourful words to insult Celestia with.

[simba86 1,541]

i'm not even sure if luna was free to roam the surface or locked inside the moon unable to move in suspended animation

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,152]

Well, if the FIENDship comic for Nightmare Moon is considered canon then she was definitely awake and aware. Not sure how I feel about that, but given her demeanor upon her return in the first episode it might be feasible.

[ciphersplash 57]

Seriously the moon looks pretty boring  Especially for 1,000 years. So what do you think Luna did during her time on the moon? I think she met aliens o.O

 

She teleported back to equestria and disguised herself as a pony

 

then amused herself with spilling stuff on Celelstia's throne

[sweetolebob18 724]

Seriously, given her behavior in episode 30, Luna Eclipsed, I'd have to question how  much awareness she had of events on EQ.  You also have to take into account things like "How big is the EQ moon?",  "What are conditions like?", & "How well can alicorns survive in a hostile environment?"

 

IMO, the whole EQ solar system is very "ancient Earth".  That is, the moon & the sun are fairly small (Aristotle believed the sun to be a red hot ball of rock 40 miles in diameter & (IIRC) 200 miles away).  Plus, it is definitely geocentric (Earth is center of universe) & possibly the world is flat.  In the ancient view air extended to infinity (no such thing as vacuum) & so it would be possible to live on the moon.

 

IDK if Luna had to be in stasis to survive, but you have to ask "If she was going to be in stasis, why not just turn her into stone & be done w it?"

[Zoraxe 546]

To be fair, the author of the Nightmare Rarity arc and NMM's 'Fiendship is magic' comic has been... controversial. I personally don't consider those canons apart of my canon.

 

I think all implications given about Luna's banishment have been in the show has been that she was sealed IN the moon.
