I liked what I saw of the explanation, even in #5. It's the right blend of dark forces and emphasizing that it still came down to Luna's choice in the end.
I have a message from another time...
Space miasma?

Nightmare Moon was born from the same being that
Aku came from.
Oh, no! They've all transformed into giant, Swedish, lederhosen-clad yodelers! Run!
@Irish: i have a

going that
Aku, black blood, and

Zagreus sits inside your head, Zagreus lives among the dead.

Huh, so the comic's third story arc is going to be Lower Decks Episode? I wonder if they'll stick to established side characters like Big Mac and Cheerilee or if they'll dip into some of the background ponies.
I'm thinking about what to have for dinner. Should I heat up some frozen mozzarella icks, or some dreaded chicken parmagiana patties?

Never watched
Soul Eater, but I agree that the Venom symbiote could have come from it. Seriously, "monster born from scary black space gloop" needs to be a trope if it's not already.

Hey Apple, if your comic ever gets off the ground would you ever consider writing a short description of the pictures? It wouldn't have to be much, just a short few sentences.
Do you read
Darths & Droids? It's one of the few webcomics I know that even tries.

Huh, I thought it was John Donne.
That's one thing that Ditzy Doo and the bronies have in common: they were not supposed to exist.
@Roy: i thought it was Orson Welles.

Wait, I got it; it's
Geoffrey Chaucer!

You fools, it's obviously Edgar Allen Poe.

yes! i finally get to use this one!

No, no. Poe wrote about the constant "You've got mail" alerts from AOL.

I should go to bed now. Night folks.
Tealove is best pony.

Night, Apple.
If there is one thing I learned in my poetry class - when in doubt, it's about sex. No, seriously.
