Princess Luna Has Two Daily Forms

        No no, I'm not talking about Nightmare Moon, (I'll get to her later...), I'm talking about the strange difference between the Luna we first met in Season 1 and the Luna we know in Season 2. What I'm saying is that because of a glitch by the Elements of Harmony, during the day, Luna appears as "Woona" while at night she's her terrifying self.

        It's no secret that there were a lot of changes between the first and second seasons. The look of the Theme Song changed, the animation quality shot through the roof, the CMC became bearable, and a lot of one-dimentianal characters gained personalities and histories. One of the most noticeable changes was the most mysterious princess herself: The Loonmaster. For many fans, it was a giant relief to see this new side of Luna-- the princess in Elements Of Harmony, though adorable, didn't match up to her fearsome counterpart Nightmare Moon. For me personally, I couldn't see this adorable (and rather unrealized) little princess become so angry that she'd vow vengeance and become filled with vile jealousy. The worst I could imagine of Luna was Pouting. Not too scary....

        However, as soon as the new Princess of the Night stepped on the scene, I was super hyped. She

Holy hayseed she's looking scarier!

was scary, she had a quick temper and a new booming voice, not to mention her new regal look and dark sense of humor. She was multi-demential, her personality fit in with Nightmare Moon, and her new look matched with Celestia and her own new darker personae.

        But wait a second-- what happened to Woona? Did Luna perform some sort of spell that changed her appearance? We know she can do that, and there are even fragments in the animation where we can see her old mane, but that sure doesn't explain the change in personality. There's obviously no other rational explanation for this change in personae than the Princess is Woona during the day and the fearsome Princess of the Night, well, at night. My leading theory is that the spell that was used by the Mane Six to change her back to "good" messed up EVERYTHING. Well, not everything, but it's hard to imagine exactly how a blast of magic can completely change somepony's personality, along with taking away their ambitions and feelings (they were evil ambitions and feelings, but still, how exactly do you do that without radically messing up that person's being, personality and personae?).

        So her's where it get's super juicy, what if Luna's "glitching"? It's obvious that she has at least

Three Moon moon

three different personalities inside her (Woona, Luna and Nightmare Moon), so where did they come from? Where did they go? The most common hypothesis (and the one that makes the most sense) is that those three forms represent Luna in the (relative) past, present and future. Technically all of the forms are in the past, since Luna was introduced as Nightmare Moon, but do you get where I'm going?

        The spell that the Elements of Harmony cast is extremely vague at best. Upon first viewing, it's assumed that it's just a "good" spell, but it can be argued that Luna looks and sounds a lot younger than her nightmarish counterpart. Then on Nightmare Night, Luna seems much older than she did the last time we saw her, but still not the deep-vengeful Nightmare Moon. We can assume that they 'sploaded her evil counterpart,  but they wouldn't want to get rid of her good parts, right? So, did they just use some sort of time spell, turn back the clock, and brought the Princess back to the time when she wasn't so hate-filled?

        However, if that was the case how would you explain the fact that Luna immediately remembered what happened and apologized for her actions? This means that there are multiple established parts of Luna. But what happens to them and where are they when a different one is out and about?

        Think about Luna's appearances thus far after the second episode: all during the Nightmare Night episode and a few cameos once dusk fell in the Canterlot Wedding two-parter. All of those scenes with her were at Night. She's the Princess of the Night, so what? During the Canterlot Wedding, she stays far away from Equestria until the night is well established, and flies in from the moon. This is in contrast to the second episode where we see Woona 100% of the time in daylight. What I'm suggesting is that because of the spell cast by the Elements of Harmony, she's innocent Woona during the day and her older self at night. This would explain why she's far away from the castle during the daytime, probably ashamed or embarrassed of her weaker other half.

        Well, what do you guys think, does this conspiracy have any merit? Are there any theories that you have that you'd like me to look into? Let me know in the comments, and I hope to see you back here soon for the next Equestrian conspiracy.

The Flim Flam Brothers Are Changelings

Just look at those slimy scumbags...

 Flim and Flam: Two dime-a-dozen scumbag con-ponies or a couple of rouge changelings? 

        The Flim Flam brothers only appearance so far has been in the season 2 episode Super Cider Squeezy 6000. They play the main two antagonists, a couple of seedy con-ponies trying to take over Sweet Apple Acres with their brilliant new machine. A competition is created, a ton is at stake, good triumphs over evil, yada yada yada and they're never seen again. 

Rather striking resemblance, no?

        Now, this really isn't a new theory to a lot of fans. One of the biggest clues--and the most obvious one--is the fact that the color of the brothers' magic is identical to the color of a changeling's magic; the magical color seems to be the only thing that changelings can't replicate or hide. In the later season finale, the queen of the changelings impersonates Princess Cadence, and whenever she preforms magic, she still has the candy apple green instead of Cadence's light blue magic. 

        Coincidence? Probably, but that doesn't stop this reporter. After a bit more digging, I did notice how strange it was that their magical color is such a saturated tone compared to a lot of other unicorns. Twilight, Rarity, Shining Armor, Celestia, DJ-Pon3; no matter who you look at, the color of their magical "aura" all seem to be less intense compared to the Flim Flam brothers'. The only exception that I could find was Trixie when she was under the effects of the Alicorn Amulet (link), suggested that highly saturated color tones for magical auras is linked to an evil presence. So, even assuming that the color similarity between the brothers and changelings is a coincidence, it's not very probable that that magical aura color is likely in an average unicorn. These brothers are definitely up to no magical good...

       So, what do these vile shape-shifters feed on? At first glance at their profession, a couple of slimy con-ponies that steal away family farms, doesn't seem to lend itself to a lot of love to feed off of. Not about to be discouraged, I used my master detective skills to dig a little deeper. What if instead of feeding of the ponies have for them, they feed off ponies' love of cider?

Just look at all that hype!

       It's brilliant! If you haven't seen this episode in awhile, just watch the opening song again (link). By the end, these ponies are obsessed with these guys and their cider, they just can't get enough even before they've seen the brothers do anything. Ever wondered why they had to get the crowd completely hyped before doing the powerful magic to get the machine going? Or that they skip town as soon as nobody likes them anymore instead of challenging the Apples to a rematch, or at least making a better batch of cider? Maybe to save their strength until the next town? All I'm saying is they really worked that crowd.

        There's also the issue of the Flim-Flams' appearance that points right to . Because of the literal rainbow of colors and infinite combinations of colors that ponies can inherit from their parents, siblings can look very different from each other. The Apple family, though the color schemes are all in the same family (eh?), no two of them look close to  the same. Twilight and her brother appear outright unrelated, and even Rarity and Sweetie Belle, though they have the same coats, have different manes, mane styles and eye shapes. On the other hoof, Flim and Flam look nearly identical: same coat color, same manes, same eye shape, same body shape, the list goes on. Seems super cider suspicios so far...

        Why is this? Sure, they could be identical twins, but NO. THEY'RE NOT. Back before they found their pony forms, a pair of changelings ran across one pony to copy, and just had to make due. One of them shaved of their mustache, slicked their hair back, and BAM!, a pair of unicorn brothers, ready to feed off unsuspecting crowds of ponies.

 Further proving the point, these slimy changelings aren't used to referring to each other by name (there is no individuality in a changeling hive after all), and it shows, as they forget each other's names multiple times. If you go back up and listen to the first chorus, it's established that the clean-shaven pony's name is Flim, while Mr. Mustache over there is named Flam. Then, the third time the chorus is sung, the clean-shaven pony's name is now Flam, while Mr. Mustache is Flim. There's even more mix-ups outside of the song as well, downright flip-flopping the Flim Flam name just a few times to many to be an accident. But, playing it safe most of the time, those dirty changelings simply refer to each other as "my brother".  Those dirty insectoids...

Well, what do you guys think? This conspiracy have any merit? Are there any theories that you have that you'd like me to look into? Let me know in the comments, and I hope to see you back here soon for the next Equestrian conspiracy.
