8	----
9	!!This song and its animation provide examples of:
10
11	* AlwaysSecondBest: Luna feels like she is ignored by her pony subjects who all adore and worship her sister Celestia. The need for love and jealousy towards her sister are what drive her to villainy.
12	-->''Why shouldn't they adore me? Is it not within my right?\
13	I'll not be overshadowed, mine is not the lesser light!''
14	* TheCameo: Star Swirl the Bearded makes an appearance in this video.
15	* ContentWarnings: The animation starts with a mock rating screen stating that the animation is a fan work and that it's suitable for all audiences
16	* DudeWheresMyRespect: Princess Luna questions why she doesn't receive the same love and adoration her sister Celestia does despite all of the hard work she does in creating the night.
17	* EvilIsHammy: The first thing Nightmare Moon does after transforms from Luna is let loose a hammy EvilLaugh.
18	* EvilLaugh: Nightmare Moon breaks out into laughter at the end of the original song.
19	* EvilSoundsDeep: Luna's voice turns noticeably deeper after transforming into Nightmare Moon. This is a change added in covers of the song and the animation. In the original song and the revised version Luna's voice remains the same.
20	* FanAnimation: Duo Cartoonist's short film version is a fan animation.
21	* HellishPupils: In the animation Luna's normal eyes change into Nightmare Moon's halfway through the song which is when she allows her anger and envy to consume herself and begins transforming into her evil counterpart.
22	* IJustWantToBeLoved: The spark that sets Luna to villainy is that she feels unappreciated when ponies choose to sleep through the night despite all the effort she puts into creating the night and instead are active during the day and shower Celestia with adoration.
23	* TheNightThatNeverEnds: At the end of her song, Luna proudly proclaims she will keep the world in eternal night so she might get the recognition she believes she deserves.
24	-->''So say good night at this, the final setting of the sun!\
25	Tomorrow dawns in darkness, the night time has begun!''
26	* OminousLatinChanting: "''In umbra Luna est''".
27	* VillainSong: It's a Luna villain song where Luna slowly turns into Nightmare Moon.
28	* VoiceOfTheLegion: In the Eileen Montgomery version, there is a second, lower voice singing along with the last couple lines, just before Luna completes her transformation into Nightmare Moon.
