What’s it like to be trapped in stone? Well, buckle up, because you're about to have a heart-to-heart with the king of chaos himself, and it ain’t pretty.

While i don't approve of Discord's viewpoint shared by his apologists that he was never evil, mind you that Chrysalis fans use it too.

Nonetheless i wasn't expecting a confession from Discord. But i dare say that past this part i mentioned this story is awesome.

4682763 I did think of that in the course of writing. However, she was only out for a day at most, and didn't remember any of it. :twilightoops: I actually have a story about that, btw. Double Feature: Too Much To Drink / I'm Dead, I Think?

'kay story :)

While this is sweet (and the layer technique is cute), I have a hard time picturing Discord openly admitting to any of this. Writing it, maybe, because of the illusion of privacy... but admitting to it to Twilight's face seems a bit OOC.

4693364 Hmmm, Thanks for the feedback. I didn't really think about that. I sort of saw it as Discord waxing poetic in a moment of dramatic excess, and it suddenly veering into an area of surprising honesty. He is prone to being a drama queen, that's for sure. This is the first of a series of oneshots that will be prepping me for my NaPoWriMo event entry in November. Thanks again, and have a great day! :pinkiehappy:

I really loved this--the onion analogy was great, and I like how he starts things off as snarky as ever but in the end gets to an emotional truth at the center of his life and actions :twilightsmile: I think this would be OOC slightly for Discord between his reform and the season 4 finale, but post the finale I think it works very well. I could absolutely see him becoming more vulnerable to others, even if he couches it in casual jokes and sarcastic observations. I'm glad to hear you'll be writing more stories like this :pinkiehappy:

5806700 Thank you very much for these kind words :pinkiehappy: It's comments like these that encourage me to keep writing. :heart;

5806715 You are very welcome! :twilightsmile:

I love formatting used as a storytelling tool. This did a great job of that, using something I usually see in poorly edited forum and Tumblr posts. Nice work, and a well-voiced Discord. I barely stumbled when I read his lines in my best John de Lancie impression.

6209960 wow, high praise. Thank you very much. :)

It's beautiful!

6262696 thank you. :) You're beautiful too.

Erm, this fic seems to fail at whatever it's intending.

1) Both your characters are being written with the same voice. There's no personality distinction between them. And that personality doesn't really fit either of them. It's like you personally, the author, are talking in your own voice, and claiming to be Discord and Twilight, even though your voice is nothing like either of theirs.

2) You've completely mismatched your leadup with the resolution. Twilight asked Discord what it was like to be encased in stone.. He never answered that question. He never even tried to.

what was it like, being trapped in stone?"

You want to know what it’s like to be me? I’m like an onion.

He answered a completely different question.

3) Personally, I found the quote gimmick annoying. And, it's kind of the only thing this story has going for it. If you remove the novelty of "oh, this story uses BBcode quotes" there isn't really much left to it except an out of character Discord answering a completely different question than the one he was asked.

6426725 thanks for the feedback. One of the things I want to focus on in upcoming stories of mine that I actually am putting a lot of effort into as opposed to being stupid random comedies, is giving characters distinct voices. Which, to be honest, is one of the trickier bits of writing. But I really do appreciate your thoughtful critique. I'm not going to go back and edit the story because well, the past is in the past, but I will bear your comments in mind for future writing.

6849234 My my aren't you responsive.

I love this!
It's EXACTLY like my headcanon of Discord!

And covers a lot of my problems with season 4 and bits of season 5 with how no one but Fluttershy really tries to even act nice around Discord so of course he's gonna act even more annoying.
