Short Hand: Discord's Mistake 1 · 2:57am Apr 29th, 2021
Of course I might try something different with Discord.
Discord: "So, you think you're smarter than me? More creative than me?!"
Shepherd: "Not a high bar! I could do your job better without breaking a sweat!"
Discord: "Why don't we put that to the test, hm?"
He shoves his fingers into Shepherd's head. The human screams. One of his eyes turns yellow, half his body turns gray and dull... and he grins.
Discord!Shepherd: "Huh! Well that's new..."
Shepherd grabs his head and shakes.
Shepherd: "GAH! GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"
Discord!Shepherd: "Oh no! I quite like it in here! Can't wait to be running the place-And everything else. Ooh... What secrets are in here! Everything you ever saw or experienced but can't recall: All mine!"
Discord: "Ahem! I think you mean ours."
Discord!Shepherd: "BAH! You're not my dad!"
Discord: "AM TOO!"
Shepherd; "DAMNIT GET OUT!"
Discord!Shepherd: "Why should I?! It's nice in here! So many ideas... like this!"
Discord!Shepherd snaps his fingers. Discord is trapped in a constantly shifting hyperobject.
Discord: "What the-?! HA! I'll just escape!" snaps his fingers... Nothing happens "HUH?!"
Discord!Shepherd: "Oh, did I forget to mention? I figured out how our powers work! This object creates order the more chaos magic you pour into it, an inherent contradiction! It renders your powers useless!"
Discord: "But... Why didn't I think of that-?!"
Discord!Shepherd: "Because Dad..." points at Discord "Old and busted!" points to himself "New hotness!"
Shepherd: "... Congratulations Discord. You outsmarted yourself."
Discord!Shepherd: "Not exactly a challenge, was it?!"
It's too bad these aren't part of the story.
XDDDD That's hilarious.
(... Yeah. Yeah that was something of a goof-up there. Not gonna lie, real bad move on Discord's part. Not his finest moment.)
"Old and busted" and "New Hotness"... what have I heard this in?
...wanna say Men In Black 2?
Never call up what you can't put down. And never assume you can put down anything you want. This will not end well.

Yeah, I liked the first chapter of “reality”

More is coming. I just don't know when.
The chaos magic version of a Chinese finger trap.
I almost feel sorry for unreformed Discord. That's hard to do.
