Discord needs something to keep himself occupied that won't make him end up as a glorified lawn gnome for another thousand years. Knowing that causing chaos on any scale he would like is off-limits, he decides to play his hands/claws at a diversion Celestia seems to have a addiction to: teaching students!
While the search for little ponies he can tutor in the ways of chaos is cold at first, he eventually stumbles on a little pony who seems after his own twisted patchwork heart. A little pony who's bossy. A little pony who's annoying. A little pony who, just possibly, reminds him a little of himself when he was just a few thousand years old.
Indeed, this "Diamond Tiara" is going to be the best student he's ever had!
Chapters (14)
Sounds like a good read
I like the Discord antics you've got going so far.
I can't help but wonder Applebloom should be the evil one.
Hurr durr.
This is brilliant.
Don't think I didn't catch that little dig at Chicago.
So excited for the next chapter! Can't wait, but have fun writing it!
That was a rather fun setup. Makes me wonder how he'll approach this apprentice seeking venture of his. I wonder if Celestia will catch on to what she had just done. Rather cute to see her still ruled by her curious nature as a child of sorts would be, she's still too kind for her own good. Which is in this fic at least, is rather cute on her.
"No, Discord. She is far different that me"
Dang typos. Also, not really important, but I guess you could remove that one space in the first set of ( brackets) in paragraph two, if just for consistency's sake I suppose.
Very fun chapter. Celestia and Discord were so well characterized you'd think I just saw the opening to a S4 episode or something.

Dig? I do not dig, ma boy, I tell truths. If there is any life in Chicago that's not trying to leave it, let me know.

Thank's. My big worry with trying to write Discord post-Fluttershy is that he's a omipotent being who was apparently not near his only friend for much of a year while still being him. Celestia was a bit easier, if only because I am a sucker for Dislestia. Also cake.

I wouldn't know about that, because I exist in Texas. Dallas would probably be the closest comparison.
But, to speak with that kind of clarity and certainty?
OH MAH BROTHA...TESTIFY!
OMG this is a very good story keep it up
HA! Winnie the Pooh reference made me crack up!
2965055 Yes, that shortcake tea was cute x3
Change profile pic it scares me....
2977039 What?
As long as you stay out of my shed, it's all going to be alright.
2977136 no really I'm almost afraid to go on the story because of it
DT is best manipulater...okay, second best.

This is gonna be good.

Why I have no idea what you mean.
One of Tigger's most disturbing quotes.
That line is a whole lot funnier than it should be.
Right Discord, that's the best way to approach anypony
Nice idea, I'm going to keep an eye on this one

Figures Filthy wouldn't like unions. Damn corporatist..
I'll just leave those questions there for you to ponder.

This is ending sooo bad for our poor Filthy
Great chapter. Run Twilight run. Diamond can be quite scary at time's. Frankly the thought of what Discord might teach her is bound scare quite a few ponies. Especially the CMC.
More!
Haha. Hilarious! I love your style. i wonder how soon it will take DT to ruin everything.
How did I read that as "human history"? How do I keep reading it as that?
Also, Twilight should have kicked her out 5 minutes ago with her blatant misuse of grammar. Saying "A egghead" more than twice deserves an immediate ejection from any educational area.
That... Isn't very comforting.

BWAHAHAHAHA!
Screwball!
I don't think Twilight's chubby
So he's trying to teach her how to be a better leader? I will keep reading this but your starting to loose me here.
I think it's less being a leader, and more being a foil to what the ponies normally stand for. In a way to help 'define' themselves in skewed/twisted way.
So what Discord is saying is that pony society needs bad guys to feel good about itself. Like Scarface.
3546813 Yes, kind of. In order to be the perfect little happy-go lucky society they are, ponies need an outside influence that is undeniably bad to 'keep them in check'.

Well then this is apropos
Bunch of hypocritical ponies.
I was wondering where he was going with this. What an interesting concept.
Good chapter. Look's like his time as a statue is still a big sore point for Discord.
Ah. Like Newton's third law says... every action must have an equal but opposite reaction.
In other words... Diamond is the chosen one who will bring balance to the horse?

Can't even begin to describe how long the Joker's been signing this tune.
DIscord, the teacher of morality?!
Interesting
