Are you sure? Keep in mind that Luna had been inprisoned  in the moon for 1000 years, it's conceivable that she would be weaker than she was. It's like the Revan vs. Bastila  fight on the star forge, normally Revan could take her easily, but she's been mindwiped, and Bastila is drawing on the Forge to refuel her, which makes that fight harder than it is.

I think by this point she's back to the same amount of power she had when she was NMM, which would put her at almost exactly the same power level as Celestia. When Trixie said "Trixie is the highest level unicorn!" she wasn't lying, but alicorn is a step above that (Cadance, apparently the weakest of the alicorns we've seen so far, was able to keep an empire within a force field while falling unconscious. Luna moves the entire moon every night and has weather control beyond what we saw from Trixie, as well as spells that nopony else has used and the physical strength to crack stone with a stomp of her hoof. Celestia is basically a sun goddess, so I don't think going into her powers is entirely necessary).

Her weather control isn't greater than Trixie's, and we don't know exactly how powerful the Alicorn Amulet is- for all we know it could have been named because it gave the wearer magic power to equal an alicorn.

Wait, her weather control isn't greater than Trixie's? Dakriff? Trixie could make a permanent storm cloud within her dome, sure, but Luna uses lightning and storms of that size for temporary dramatic effect.

We aren't talking about any alicorn here, either. Not an alicorn like Cadance who only possesses extreme power and wings. No, we're talking about a goddess-like figure of near-legendary status who rules the night and co-rules Equestria. She wears a cloak made of bats, can/could travel around in the form of a cloud and shapeshift into objects of different sizes (including three pegasi at once!), used to be able to wield three Elements of Harmony at once, effortlessly animates inanimate objects, etcetera.... when she rebelled, her own sister had to use the Elements to defeat her and that was, while long-term, only temporary.

Here's my food chain:

Sombra > Trixie + Amulet
Cadance > Sombra
Luna > Cadance
Celestia > Luna
Nightmare Moon = Celestia
Discord > Celestia
Whoever can use all 6 Elements simultaneously > Discord

Chrysalis most likely varies greatly depending on the circumstances, otherwise she would be over Celestia and Discord would be over her. Also, Sombra might only be vulnerable to the Crystal Heart, in which case he would be on par with Discord.

Mfw the long-awaited Scootaloo episode becomes an episode about me

Mfw the long-awaited Scootaloo episode becomes an episode about me

I loved the episode.  Nice to see some of her powers being displayed more.  I hope they do more episodes with her.

[RogueLeader]

Watched the new episode, realized that Luna and Zecora have the same voice actors!

[RogueLeader]

You know what I'd really like to see? A musical adaptation of Past Sins. I already have titles for some of the songs.

Help writing music would be appreciated please.

[Darth Rifter]

One, I LOVE PAST SINS!!!!

Two, someone made a soundtrack to listen to it whilst you read. 

Third, I LOVE PAST SINS!!!!

a friend of mine had the nerve to call Past Sins a "bad fanfic"

[RogueLeader]

Yeah I know. It saved me a lot of trouble writing the songs.

[Luna]

Watched the new episode, realized that Luna and Zecora have the same voice actors!

Close! Zecora is voiced by Brenda Crichlow, whereas Luna/NMM is voiced by Tabitha St. Germain (along with Rarity, Photo Finish, Granny Smith, Derpy, Mrs. Cake, Pound Cake, Philomena [I guess she just did the squawking noises] and a lot of the "additional voices").

[RogueLeader]

So I got permission from the author to do a Past Sins musical! Squee!

*commences songwriting*

Oh and Rifter, I asked the guy who did the soundtrack if I could use his songs as a baseline, but I haven't heard from him yet.

[Darth Rifter]

writing a musical, let alone a play, let alone a screenplay is very very hard,  and i wish you the best of luck. Also, did you order a hardcopy of the book?

[RogueLeader]

Well the good news is that I have part of the score already written (hopefully).

Also, did you order a hardcopy of the book?

No, where?
