The Goddess comes for foals that run away.
I write pony words that people seem to like. I also review fics and draw purty pictures, apperently. I'm an older fan of MLP, so expect a lot of 80's references.

Absolutely ridiculous that it would take Nightmare Moon 1,000 years to break those chains, but if it's metaphorical then that's another story. That being said, it's quite an epic depiction in any case. And awesomeness can bend reality, so I wholeheartedly approve.

I always headcannoned that Luna was literally fused with the moon as opposed to being trapped on the surface.

headcannon in agreement.
I've always thought of it in more metaphorical terms, as a prison for a goddess:
The moon grew before me as I flew, but even it had not been spared from Celestia’s touch. Chains and wards surrounded it, huge creations that dwarfed me as a mosquito alongside a pony. Power beyond my imagination was wrapped around Luna’s celestial orb, runes of such complexity and arcane might to restrain a goddess in her wrath as she fought to return to her rightful place.
They were silent now, but I could see the charred marks and blackened links where the beast fought back against its imprisonment and feel the long, slow pulse of breathing as it slept to regain its power for another attempt at freedom. I slipped down through the massive structures, untouched by their bonds, far too insignificant to even draw a response. I was a fly to their power, and I moved with a grace enforced by the reminder that even a fly could be casually swatted with a mere twitch of a tail.

In a way that could be worse forced to feel the searing heat of the sun on one side and the fridgid void of space on the other.
