OH, L'AMOUR · 12:40am Feb 3rd, 2015
Diamond Tiara is one of my favorite characters in the show, as well as Silver Spoon, to a lesser degree. However, whenever I say that people tend to misunderstand me--I don't think she's cute.I mean, yes, she is, but to be honest every single pony put there is cute. That's kind of a big thing in the show.
I don't mean that I would like her to be my friend in real life, either--I know some people choose their favorite characters like that.
Like, Diamond Tiara is an asshole. I mean woah what a lil' piece of shit. If I had kids, I wouldn't let them near her. And I would probably kick her in the face the moment I could be sure nobody was looking. BAM. YEAH HOW DO YOU LIKE THAT, YOU HARMLESS FIVE YEAR OLD. FEEL THE WRATH OF A VERY IRRESPONSIBLE MAN. And then I'd probably go to jail.
But I digress! I still like the character, and that's precisely because she's so despicable. Y'see, bullies in real life are horrible, but in fiction? They can be charming, if you know how to write them. Same with any other flavor of asshole. I mean, Holmes would be a horrible homie, I think. Though you could call him your holmie, which would be cool. Heheh. Holmie.
It's just a personal preference of mine, I guess? I adore love-to-hate characters, and assholes in general. A protagonist who kicks the everloving crap out of children whenever he's bored will be more interesting than a guy whose main flaw is that "he tries too hard" from the get-go.
Why am I talking about this? You might ask yourself. Well, the other day I realized that St. Valentine's is coming, and I've never written a holiday-themed comedy. That could be fun!
But normal romantic comedies are boring, and I like horrible characters. So I'm getting a crew I really like, from a story you won't need to read -- Long Story Short, Things Went Down is its name -- and I'll write a comedy about what "love" means to a bunch of sociopaths.
Or, well, at least that's the plan. Whaddayathink? Should I do that? Or are love-to-hate characters boring for you? This wouldn't be a shipping fic, by the way. It would be a bona fide comedy about love. Different.
But, y'know. Just in case. Should I do it? Do you wanna see a horrible Lyra and an asshole Bon Bon (plus five more bg ponies) and what do they do during the romantic holiday? Or should I write about Celestia turning into a clam instead? Sometines you just gotta ask the public, I think.
Clamlestia sounds interesting, but Imma put my hooker-glitter covered stack of Big Ben Franklins on horrible Lyra and Bon Bon's asshole.

HOW ARE YOU SO FAST AT THIS THING.

I got skillz, biatch.

Sounds like it could be good.
I like her better in the episodes where they actually give her something to do except be a mindless bully. Which is... half of them? I'm probably forgetting some of the mindless bully episodes.
You said the thing I tell everybody when they ask me why ShinyRock TinyHorse is best.
I'm a big fan of that thing.
ABSOLUTELY do that. It sounds hysterical.
Love according to Diamond Tiara... hmm...
"Love is when ponies give you lots of stuff and let you sit on them like a chair."
I could see something like that...
Diamond Tiara is the most gleefully loathsome character I've seen in TV in a long time. Like, she was a little bitch, yeah, until Flight to The Finish, when they just said, "Eh, screw it! Make her racist, too!" She's the perfect storm of smarmy, entitled, spoiled, and cruel.
Oh, and her voice actress is actually pretty good looking. Also helps that she's the only filly VA who is actually of age. inb4 Black Gryphon/Michelle Creber joke...
Yes. Very very much yes.
And I shall now look forwards to it!
Well of course, Aragon! Ideology always exists in fiction in one shape or form. In anime, tsundere characters are seen as cute because writers try to balance them with as secretive cute side (although in most modern mangas now, it's way too obvie). In modern cartoons, they show the viewers a different side to the bullies that makes them more humane than the unnaturally mean assholes they are in public.
In reality, we don't often get that luxury of getting to know the bully. Usually they would just call you out on your biggest flaws and leave it at that. If you try to visit them at their house, they're probably gonna scheme of ways to get rid of you. Bullies don't really care about their consequences in real life if they know how to avoid it.
The only way to solve this issue is to glitter bomb them.
Speaking of glitterbomb, I want a fic where Luna tries to show Equestria the beauty of night by doing fly-by glitter bombs on towns during the day, and the glitter are actually grounded star dust.
Title: Starry Fly-by
But it'd be pony jail, so all the inmates would probably be there for petty things like stealing apples or vandalizing a town or turning a swarm of parasprites into creatures that destroy entire towns.
So basically, you could totally make all the ponies your bitches.
HECK YES! More from the things went down crew would be freaking awesome! BTW, has Lyra gotten out of the desert with all the little orphans and kittens yet? I'd love to see that story from Scootaloo's perspective, because she's an orphan and was obviously on that train!
Edit:
Wait, there are different flavors of asshole? Come to think of it, how do you even know that? Nevermind, please don't answer that!
2765253 I recently read a fic where Twilight was the princess of stars, and was made of stardust. Because of this, when I read your comment I immediately pictured her screaming profanities while Luna used her like a stardust salt shaker.
Oh yes, please, I would love to read a Valentine/LSSTWD canon fic, considering how I've been assigned to compete for the school that day. You would then fill my quota for love for the year. I mean, Aragon, it's gonna be almost like we're on a date, right?
I am also a huge fan of that despicable little bitch, and some romance BS from her would be awesome XD
I approve of this plan
I approve so damn hard
Yes, I want to see this.
This however, has some potential as well. Unless that is not a euphemism for something dirty. And she actually turns into a mollusc.
A romantic comedy starring the cast of my FAVORITE story you've ever puked onto my computer screen? Hella yeah!
More of the sociopaths, please.
Man why do you have to give us such awesome choices. I gotta admit, Clamlestia sounds funny just for the sake of it...
Either way, you'll let me help edit right?

News Alert: Twilight's "stardust" is her dandruff.
2765653 Who needs hygiene when you have books? I'm completely with Twilight on this.

And I'd like to thank my mentor, Princess Celestia for teaching me that friends are obsolete when you have books! And my pet dragon/slave, Spike, for showing me how much more efficient life is without showers!
Yes. Do it.
A comedy about love, featuring the Long Story Short, Things Went Down gang? Could anything be better?
Sometimes I wonder where these ideas come from. Mostly, I really don't want to ever know.
i'd say to go for it man. no real need to stifle yourself for the sake of thinking only fics should be written for popularity and such. so, i say go for it man. do whatever it is you want to do.
I'm all for comedic love.
Go for it.
Your Lyra in a romantic comedy? I want to see this
Clamlestiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I want this, The Long story short crew in a Valentine's day comedy? Who wouldn't!!
Never even read the original, it's in my Read It Later list because it's a genius idea. Add more to my list!
Do it!
I love psycho LyraBon.
I love your stories.
"Long story short, things went down" crew in a romantic comedy? YES, PLEASE!

Y'know, the clamlestia story is not a joke. I actually planned that thing a long time ago. Title's "A Shell of a Time."
2771770 And the reason you're not writing this and letting me help edit it is....?
2771782
I've actually started it! Then promptly deleted and started again. And then once more. It's a rough start.
But yeah I've discussed it with my main four go-to guys every time I have a story. And with "discuss" I mean I mostly shriecked about the story like a gull asking for bread until they asked me to shut the fuck up already. So yeah it'll come to the website at some point, be sure of that. I'm not one to ditch such a stupid idea.
If you do the Valentines story, I will forever idolize you.
Nothing would make me happier than the continued stories of everyones favourite sociopaths!
2771770 I didn't think it was. You never joke.
Seriously, I think all the joke-sounding ideas you've posed for stories were things you actually wrote.
