>For all Nightmare knew
She doesn't even make an attempt to understand without force, she just hears time travel and immediately feels threatened without even trying to find out what exactly is worse or who Starlight is.
>As opposed to Celestia keeping the time travel spells locked in her library
Judging by It's About Time, that wing of the library isn't particularly restricted outside of Twilight's imagination.
>How else do you prevent a time traveller from leaving
Why does she think she needs to prevent her from leaving? And unless you're restraining the time traveller themselves, taking a hostage doesn't seem that useful either desu.
>Rainbow Dash is retarded
>Their fears were unfounded, Nightmare was her usual giggly adorable self.
Again, unable or unwilling to read the clearly presented clues. Dash isn't the only one to react and they were clearly expecting a different reaction.
By the way, is this one of two canon appearances of batponies? I'm not sure I noticed the ear tufts on the other guards before because all everyone ever mentions is the helmets that change the eye shape.
>The Elements are not the arbiters of true justice.
They kind of are depicted as such, but even if not, why would she fear them being used against her if her reign is as great as you pretend?
>Nightmare does nothing worse than Celestia has done
Lol. Lmao even. Even without arguing about whether eternal night can be magically counteracted, Celestia at the very least kept both day and night.
