Pinkie Pie loves having fun. Who doesn't? And Nightmare Night is one of the funnest nights of all. Everyone dresses up in costumes and goes around scaring everypony. And this year, Princess Luna is joining in the fun! She's really good at scaring ponies!

Except.....Luna's not having fun. Apparently, nopony told her that this was all pretend.

Oops.

Not a big change from the show, but a nice little change that wouldn't be out of place in the show. I love it!

Never did like Pinkie and RD in that particular episode.

I wish the end of the episode went like this. This is so satisfying to to read. In fact I'm going to keep this as the true canon ending to the episode.

That's the problem with Pinkie in the early seasons. I know she doesn't act that way to be cruel - but in a way that makes it worse.

She has a very child-like mentality. She believes that what she considers to be fun is fun for everyone else. That her beliefs are universal truths, and that's simply not the case.

She's gotten better about it, but occasionally she'll backslide into that mentality.....(cough cough rock solid friendship cough cough)

This may seem crazy and evil, but can I make an alternate version of Luna Eclipsed where Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash are shunned, hated and ostracized by everypony in Ponyville for the way she treated Princess Luna in that episode?

Oh wow... it's like Pinkie embodies millennials... :trollestia:

I thought you knew that.

This. If I were to describe (sum up?) Pinkie Pie in two words, they'd be "she assumes." She assumes any and all newcomer wants her and half the town to break into their new home to set up a surprise party. She assumes everypony knows what she's talking about when dealing with parasprites for the first time even though she's horribly cryptic. She assumes everyone wants to be her friend and no one wants to be left alone.

It's nice to see a version of Luna Eclipsed where Pinkie is not branded a genius as a get-out-of-responsability card. I feel this could have used some more description but well, the most important parts happen in the dialogue anyway.

I found a few mistakes;

She pointed down the ally

She pointed down the alley

She looked from her, to Twilight

She looked away from her, to Twilight

And I have one comment;

And it very nearly cost the lives of innocents, nearly destroyed the very country that I swore to protect.

"very nearly" because as Princess Twilight Sparkle showed, Nightmare Moon's "reign of terror" lasted ten minutes, tops. :trixieshiftright:

You can, but I don't think it'd go over very well.

One, it'd be pretty hypocritical of the townsfolk to shun them since they - sans Twilight - did the exact same thing they did.

Two, Pinkie and Rainbow Dash didn't actually mean any harm. It's Nightmare Night, it's only natural they go around playing jokes. The only problem was that they didn't let Luna in on the joke. Heck, RD wasn't even targeting Luna specifically. She was pranking everyone. She just happen to be at the wrong place at the wrong time when Twilight confronted Pinkie.

Luna is speaking in terms of "what-ifs". What if Twilight and her friends hadn't succeeded. We know from the Season 5 finale that Nightmare Moon would have been a very effecient, if tyrannical, ruler, but she didn't. For all she knew, she could have very well destroyed the world.

I like this rewrite over all the others I've ready because it doesn't absolutely blame any pony for the mistake. Everyone learned a lesson in the end and I feel like that's very much intune to the nature of the episode.

So it's probably a good idea to play it safe, right?

There are others? So far I've only seen one re-write of this episode.

Not this episode in particular. Just rewrites in general seem to play the blame game more than anything else. But this one avoided that and was good!

No. No honey. That title goes to Cunty Purple.

That is very true indeed and just say for some reason Rainbow does deserve some sort of consequence of some sort, she did kinda get that in the end by getting the crap scared out of her by Luna. And like they said all Rainbow did was be in the wrong place at the wrong time. It would’ve been nice to have Pinkie apologize to Luna though in the actual episode, but this does good in showing that.

Which one? I know at least 3 that can fit that bill

Ah, see, My immediate reaction is suri, the starlight, then rarely rarity,

This is much better than the show version.

It's clear what the problem was. The problem was that they have all forgotten that at this point in the show, Luna has returned to her normal self not long ago after the events of the series opening and was trying to figure out and adjust to how things work in Equestria nowadays. Everypony thought Luna was used to things at that point, forgetting that the fact that Luna was on the moon for a 1000 years, and them constantly reminding her of the mistake that cost her to be casted away for that long period of time is just continually rubbing salt in the wounds.

I noticed that Twilight suffers from the same problem, just not with parties.
When something seems completely logical for Twilight, it must be the same for everyone else. She assumes everyone else around her understands what she does, and this ends up causing a lot of trouble that could’ve easily been avoided. It’s even worse when this flaw is almost never acknowledged in the show, and the ones who do are vilified for it.
The same goes for the rest of the Mane 6. Protagonist-centered morality at its worst.

The problem is twilight is used to talking with really smart people and because outside her family she didn't have friends she didn't ever really see that people don't get her when she talks smart. And unfortunately outside rainbow barely paying attention when she is explaining something and pinkie is a crazy genius she is just more crazy than genius most of the time which is where a lot of her problems come from but she the only of the element bearers who understands twilight when she talks smart and is able to translate into everyday speech.

Get in line, for you're not the only one.

This is especially true for me since I am autistic. I would be agitated if someone did me the way Pinkie treated Princess Luna.

Well done.

Although it was short, I do love how this had Pinkie Pie being chewed out for unintentionally hurting Princess Luna's feelings. While Pinkie Pie is a great character, one of her biggest flaws is that what she assumes is the same as what every creature assumes. I mean, look at all of the trouble she put Cranky Doodle through when he moved to Ponyville.

That said, I'm not bashing Pinkie Pie, for she does have some great moments and is a good friend, overall.

I wish that something like this would have appeared in the episode.
