The Event

Wow this thread is going on

Subjects of Equestria! We are pleased to kick off the Nightmare Night Festivities and the 14th anniversary of the return of our beloved Princess Luna! Join us in celebration!

Glory to our gaming loving princess Luna I might be on celestia’s side but love wooona luna

The conversion.

It begins…

The Night has begun! Where is the annual tribute of sugary treats our goddess righteously deserves?
Happy Nightmare Night!
We will gobble something up tonight. Be it candy or children.
Thread alive again:D

Happy Nightmare Night to all who thrive under the watch of our benevolent Ruler of The Night!

Greetings and glory!

Oh, this thread is still alive, huh? Well, I hope all you traitors to the sun have a good time luring small children to your homes with promises of candy under the cover of your wicked night. Nothing weird or suspicious about that.

Sounds perfectly in character for the worshipers of Nightmare Moon.

Sounds like someone’s jealous cause their own thread is dead.

@AndwhatIseeisme
Fun fact, that was not what Halloween originally was. Like everything, the Europeans took it and changed it.

@Acid Flask
The europeans took it? Wasn’t it an european thing all along, even though the meaning changed?

@Acid Flask
Or, it started in festivals like Samhain. It wasn’t celebrated in America until 1921, when Anoka in Minnesota held the first citywide celebration of Halloween in the United States.

@Dark
The meaning’s not THAT changed. A time to celebrate, to share, time for the landlord to throw a party for everyone else, and to cull the herd.

@Ciaran
When I say meaning changing, I say in in a way that nowadays I see little refferences to the people of Dana.

@Ciaran
Yep

The oldest Halloween festival is ancient Celtic and technically it’s European but what I meant everyone else taking it and changing it. When I think Celtic I think Irish and Scottish XP

If anyone has seen Halloween III Season of the Witch, the best Halloween movie, you’d have heard of Samhain.
Which apparently is pronouced like Saowin.

@AndwhatIseeisme
Oh don’t worry I’ve attempted claiming the thread for her highness a couple times now.

@Toastypk
Depends where you live. For example, in the USA in Wisconsin it’s “Saa-win”. But in Minnesota it’s “Sam-hain”.

In the UK though, especially around Wales I most often heard “Saa-wn”. The ‘i’ is silent.

Then there’s the Irish. ‘Sow’ rhyming with ‘Cow’, and ‘In’, rhyming with ‘In’.

@Ciaran
I was about to say y’all are all wrong as that’s a Celtic word xD

@Acid Flask
There’s Irish and Scots in Minnesota and Wisconsin, you know … damned few Welsh though, and the country is poorer for it.
