Interesting concept and I just love the characterisation of Vinyl here.
Just the actions of Discord near the end were... say - hard to believe. He is a prankster and fools around with anypony. Some of his jokes are rather harsh. But intentionally hurting or severing somepony is just a bit out of character - even for him.
Although it was an interesting dark read, so have my like.
5831362 Yeah, I admit I had a hard time writing the guy. Hence why he might come across as more Kefka than Loki. Though hearing that I did well with a character I'm not very familiar with (Vinyl not Discord) is reassuring.
5831469
Your Discord acts more like Sheogorath from the Elder Scrolls (he is a tad darker and won't hestitate to kill for a good laugh.)
But really I like the chemistry between Vinyl and Octavia in this.
I'd have expected this to have more thumbs up. Very interesting story, if I do say so myself.
6081562 Uh, thanks. This one probably doesn't have as much circulation as my other two because it's a one-shot.
I won't say Discord wouldn't do this. Because Discord can be a mild annoying prankster who doesn't know when to stop or a Monster who would turn a filly into a muffin and make the mother walk all over the world for near eternity to change her back.
Depends on the writer.
Will you make a second part please to this story?
6090807 What do you have in mind?
Given we know her human counterpart has spoken at least once, I don't think your fanon holds up in the face of what we've seen in the source material, but still not a bad fic.
6804853 When has she spoken?
6805767
Equestria Girls: The Friendship Games. It's only one line, but she does join in during Rainbow's song at the start of the film.
6808194 I don't think that's definite proof. Not until she gets a scene to herself and a credited voice actress.
6858041
It happened in the movie, and it wasn't an animation error. So yeah, pretty sure she's not mute.
Hmmm... interesting concept and portrayal... I like it! I think your characterization was really good for Vinyl and Octavia. As for Discord, other then I don't think he would do something THAT bad, was still written pretty well. Nice job.
7411436 Thank you. I have a soft spot in particular for these two and love that people enjoy my portrayal of them.

You're welcomes!
Well written, and I guess a creative way to explain canon, but I can't see Discord doing something like that. Not at all.
Can't she still scream without a tongue? I would assume so since he didn't cut out her vocal cords.
8577452
Funny thing is, I did do some research on that. And as it turns out, people with damaged tongues CAN relearn how to speak as long as the vocal cords are still intact. It's just a bit harder.
8577798
Oh that's awesome! So hopefully she's able to at least make some sort of noise instead of being completely not able to say anything.
8552775
I both can and can't see him doing it. I can't, because to me Discord is a harmless joker, that sometimes takes the joke too far, but never causes any real harm. At the same time, he's Discord, he doesn't play by any rules. So I could see him becoming angry, and doing something truly malicious.
8552775
Of course you can't see Discord doing this, not as his characterization stands currently. The show's writers pussified him after he was redeemed. Everyone forgets just how dangerous, insane, and destructive a truly chaotic character can be, and this one is a god. They all just see him having tea with Fluttershy, and say, "Oh, he's just a harmless prankster." This story is what Discord should have been, had the writers been allowed to keep to his original character.
8994682
Yeah, Discord never killed or tortured people. Discord being evil enough to use his power to really destroy a pony makes him one more unstoppable, omnipotent villain instead of the dangerous and unpredictable trickster he was.
8994835
Here's where we get into the discussion of "what would the writers be allow to do if this show wasn't for the tiny tots?" I know that's largely useless, since it is for tiny tots, but it can still be fun to talk about it. I don't think it's uncalled-for to suggest that ponies got seriously injured off-screen when Ponyville turned into Wackyland back at the beginning of season 2. You said it yourself, that Discord is dangerous. This story's characterization of him has only taken what is already there and magnified it a bit, which is appropriate, especially when he becomes irritated and has the tendency to go over the top.
8995947
Injuring ponies out of carelessness? That I can see. Intentionally harming someone just to harm them? Not so much.
8996226
Yeah, he's usually more of the type to accidentally hurt a pony and then just go, "Oh? You got hurt because of me? OOPS! LOL! "
But I think you touched on the heart of things here, at least in this specific situation. He didn't hurt Vinyl just to do it, just on a whim. Honestly, that was pretty much the only thing he did in this story that was not on a whim. Vinyl committed the one sin that would enrage every god/goddess down throughout human history: she disrespected his power. She stood up to him and insulted him by treating him as someone equal to her own mortal self, refusing to cower before him. If you know your mythology, you know an action like that must never go unpunished. Otherwise the gods lose the respect of the populous, and their power along with it.

I suddenly get the feeling this is not an argument I can win. Good day.
8996991
Please wait. I get it. I really do. You probably have a variation of this conversation every day you're on this website, and you're tired of it. You're coming from the standpoint of the hard canon from the show, and I am coming from what I felt was implied by it. I know that canon will always come before fanon. I'm sorry if I made you feel like I was coming on too strongly, like I was a comment-crusader, and as a result you want to simply wash your hands of me. Can we at least part amicably, even though we disagree on characterization? I'm a fan of what you do, and I would hate for you to think ill of me.
8997230
It's k. :B
I could 100% see a sequel to this. Octavia and vinyl coming to terms with vinyls new state. Vinyl learning how to continue her career despite now being unable to speak.

I don't know why you feel the need to apologise to PP when you're the one who came across better in the 'argument'. You explained your points extremely well and respected why PP interpreted the story the way they did. Honestly, you articulated your interpretation incredibly. PP, with all due respect, came off as very stand-offish and rude. Their points were very brief and underdeveloped as well, and paled in comparison to your counter-points. I think they knew that as well, hence why they ran away from the discussion. I don't even know why they called it an argument. You weren't being disrespectful in any way, if anything they're the one's who made it into an argument. I honestly think they ended up acting extremely immature and cowardly. Of course, you're free to do what you like in your own discussions, but I personally don't think you needed to apologise for PP's immaturity. But, that's up to you.
Yikes.
