"For sisters who purport to rule side by side, it is clear that only Celestia holds the power. She basks in the adoration of her subjects, even as they fear and revile her younger sister. The heraldry of Equestria shows the truth: it is a golden sun holding within it a tiny silver moon, which pales in both size and detail. And to the Court of Her Sun come nobles and travelers from all over the realm, each seeking audience with their beloved high Princess. Every day a new menagerie fills that place, from silk-draped camels to proud zebras and ancient deer.
But only Luna knows that same chamber come the night. No travelers attend her silent court. No petitioners seek her audience. Only moonlight, only shadows. She sits alone, with but the echoes to hear her decrees. I wonder still if the laws she passes are ever recognized by those who call themselves her subjects."
I kinda like the new ideal that Luna was rather well liked but whatever turned her evil made her more or less a greedy attention whore, as in she didn't want some of the ponies to love her night she wanted ALL of them
That's perfectly acceptable headcanon too. I like to think that Luna guarded Equestria from nightmares and all the other evils of darkness, and I'm sure that even in my headcanon there's room for ponies who loved her.
