I couldn’t come up with what they’re talking about, but it ain’t good. Probably something about crushing dissenters and what to have for brunch.
I started this drawing and halfway through started questioning it. Nightmare Moon is still evil, power-hungry and arrogant and would have to fight constantly to secure her reign after deposing Celestia. She is a tyrant in every way. I have a hard time thinking Twilight would forgive NMM, much less join her. I’ve read a few fics like that, but it usually had a heavy dose of “Celestia was really a tyrant all along!” and I’ve never been a fan of that idea. The one exception was pretty damn dark and basically Twilight had a serious case of Stockholm Syndrome. So yeah, in the Starlight-altered timeline, Twilight would either just break and be a recluse, be imprisoned, or be leading the resistance. Maybe… Maybe if Twi tried to get close to NMM to sabotage her, free Celestia, etc…
However, I could totally see the above image happening if NMM had won that initial fight against Celestia 1000 years ago. I don’t think it would exactly be a loving relationship of equals though.

The thing is, she didn’t necessarily fail. She just didn’t hatch Spike’s egg. Given the lack of other hatchlings waddling about Canterlot, the egg test is likely a test to see how prospective applicants handle failure, a la the Kobayashi Maru. She probably passed; she just didn’t become Celestia’s personal student.
Which, of course, means that her loyalty wasn’t necessarily as entrenched as it would be in the main timeline. That a usurper who offered knowledge forgotten for a millennium might sway Twilight to her side. There’s a story in here…
Yeah, Twilight would be the evil brains manipulating NMM into doing whatever she desired, plus she would be the dom in bed. :3
I thought that was Celestia until clicking
I see her depressed and locked in her room from the whole world. She can’t handle fails well, so she would become bitter on the whole world.
So I can see how this can lead to joining Nightmare Moon, or even waiting for NM arrival, cuz Twi can see this as apportunity for her.
I actually was surprised that in season 5 finale we didn’t see evil Twilight, cuz such fail could definitely break and change her.
