If you need a favor...just pm me.
Brofist??

Just promote the story. For being one of the longest stories on the site now, it doesn't have that many unique readers. Soon it'll probably be the longest story on the site. It's hardly fair to only have around 600 unique readers and yet have 700,000 words.
1306378... Challenge accepted...
Two chapters in one day? It must be my birthday. The story is only getting better as it goes.
Why did Discord protected the chosen one? I have some ideas why but i would like to know from you. And if the answer is a spoiler for later chapters than you do not have to answer if you do not want to.
1306676
It's a spoiler, mostly. Think about it this way: How long would it take for you to get bored with living?
1306683
Yes, that was one of my ideas. So this plan is just for fun then?
.... Challenge complete... Also oh shit son! Taya done fucked up!
1306689
Everything he does is for fun, or at least an attempt to alleviate boredom. Like, the human race. He spent years pacifying the humans until they were all complacent and doing essentially whatever he wanted. He was still young, and his methods included war and politics and disguises to make the humans do as he wished. But he got bored with his toys. What do you do when you get bored with something? His problem is that his plan didn't work completely. I could go more into detail, but that mean spoilers.
1306704
Did she, though? We still haven't seen Discord's end goal. We don't know if Taya picked the right side or the wrong side.
1306714
Such interesting and creative concepts of the story we could discuss. I can only wait with anticipation as the peaces come together and draw the final image. Did magic exist before humans or after?
1306728
Yes. Merlin was the last human mage. Discord purged the last of them with Rome and the Saxons.
However, in my world there is a big difference between magic and spells. Anyone at all can do magic. Only unicorns can do spells. Of the known creatures still alive today, only Discord, Celestia, Luna, Chrysalis, and a few dragons know about true magic. That is how Celestia and Luna turn the Earth when they need to prove that they can. Starswirl was the last mortal magic user, and he was the one that created spells with the help of Celestia, Luna, and Chrysalis. They did all that because an insane magic user created a nearly permanent winter. Celestia modified that history into the creation of Equestria.
1306743
The human that conceived or brought Discord to existence. The one we know as Navarone. Will his true story be revealed?
1306754
The story of Cain and Abel. "God" cursed Cain to wander the earth aimlessly after he killed his brother. That is the story of the one that brought Discord into existence. Guess who God is in that context.
However, Navarone is probably not Cain. He is about as short as Cain, but he probably isn't Cain. We might learn more about him later. I'm seriously thinking about having a chapter or two wherein he gets sent to his time for a few weeks.
1306775
So Discord was was not there at the beginning of existence. And humanity was dead for nearly 7billion years? How can any artifact service that long from years of exposure to decay? And did humanity's culture revert back and forth between old civilizations? And if so then the Morpheus statue was a technological or magical construct in his honor?
1306714My answer to that is: probably
1306801
I never said how long the humans lasted past the current day that we live in. I don't think I've said how old Discord is or how long it's been since humans existed, but I might have. Needless to say, though, humans built their shit to last in the final days. I think I did say how every species that exists today was made in some way by humans before their final extinction. They might not have been made directly by humans, but they evolved slowly based on principles the humans set into motion. The last ones alive, huddling in their hidden bunkers and mountain fortresses, had science down to a perfect art. They knew that humans had doomed themselves and that their time under the sun was finished. But humanity's children... Well, maybe they could flourish.
As to the Morpheus statue? That is a technological construct designed to monitor sleeping patterns of early human-created critters, while there were still humans left alive. The 'plug' was a computer interface jack of some kind. Luna did enough tinkering with it to figure out how to work it with magic instead of technology. Essentially, it's an artificial reality creator that was supposed to be used for a small number of creatures in a lab. Luna used magic to amplify it to create an artificial reality of sorts for every pony. However, it only works on things that are unintelligent or at a very low period of brain usage, meaning they're asleep.
My answer for why ponies don't automatically dream is because humans are dicks.
1306839
You have thought this story through. Vary creative. I have many more questions, however I would not want to spoil too much for myself or for anyone else that might be reading the comments. How long have you been writing this story?
1306864
Since season two started and I saw how poorly Discord did compared to his power. I knew that so very much more could be done with him, so I started writing. 730,000 words later, here we are, and I'm still not finished. I'm starting to think this story is getting too bloated, but everyone that I've spoke to that's read it has loved it. I still haven't decided on an ending. There's a lot I want to do. The sad ending I have is horribly depressing while the epic end I have leaves an odd taste in my mouth. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it, in another few hundred thousand words.
1306879
I can only say that I and most likely everyone of your readers wish you luck and we know that whatever you decide it will be both awesome and fitting.
1306890 I know i do i love this story it just keeps getting more and more interesting.
Well at least Navi and his friends are on the same page about his problems. The dude went from being PTSD to suicidal.
I'm surprised he hasn't rage quit from ponies. He needs to find some way to get resistance to magic.
By the way do ponies have the lifespan of a human or normal horses?
1306320
I read chapter 37....and now I'm pissed.
Did Taya join Discord? Because it seem pretty obscure in the end there.
She my Favorite character so far because of her love and belief that Nav is a good man along with her desire to protect him from shit. Hell she looked like she was actually changing him from bad person to bad person but good parent.
How could she just as easily throw her lot in with something like discord than stay with something familiar and understands to an extent.
I expected her to blast him when he gave the whole Daughter of Nav or Daughter of Discord choice.
I think the reason you don't get enough is because of the spacing issue....Yes people are judgmental lie that. Hell I'm judgemental like that.
If the first chapter is space not how I like it i never read it agian.
1307930
She joined Discord because she thought he was Navarone. She did it out of loyalty to Nav. She's confused at the beginning, but as more of what Discord says starts to happen to Nav, she trusts him more. More will be revealed in coming chapters, as is usual.
Do you have any suggestions for how to redo the spacing of the earlier chapters without undoing all the effort I went into manually redoing italics on the FIM version?
1307562
Haven't decided yet. There's a reason that none of the ponies' age are listed.
1308320
The show (and some Word of God) seems to suggest human life span, but doing the normal pony age route would be interesting. Taya would grow up faster if that's the latter.
Maybe something in between will work.
1308496
If it was the case of actual pony ages, I probably would have already shot myself in the foot. It's been, like, four years and the CMC are still in school. I could just have it so that they're nearing the end of their school careers, though.
Honestly, it probably won't matter that much.
1308320
Awww man! And there i believed Taya turned tail when he asked her to join because (unless im missing it) he didnt say the code word, and she prefer Navarone to someone (more or less) pretending to be him. I might have misread that part.. it was 4:00 am when i was done reading.
Btw, first comment ever here. Love your story a lot, its easily one of my top-10 favorite fanfic ever. Its fun, every chapter got parts where i can only laugh (Pulping ponies with a bolter? "Its evil and its why i keep you around!" love'em!) , fun action scenes, fun and believable main character (he might be garystu-ish but for some people, but i find Nav is FUN to read.. you got a good balance going for him so im pretty much fully immersed whenever i read your story), the characters are very well fleshed out (only applejack seems distant, she doesnt get much screentime but it works well anyway) but there are occasion where i just wonder why some of the ponies character just don't stop and think before they act.
The "clop" stuff is nice and not overdone.. and goes beyond being just "clop", it got consequences afterwards on the characters. Its also one of these fic that gives a lot of food for thoughts, since you put a lot of time talking about the oddities and the problems created by their different ideologies, language perks and cultures and how each party feel about it.
Right now i got a vibe that tells me that discord want to pull a "Lelouch Britania", since he surrounds himself with expendable "monsters" (Trixie, the cat dude, Crys (not a complete monster here..) .. and Taya?! that last one doesnt fit that pattern..), whatever happen i think most of his pieces will end up dead due to their instability and he might want to use them to look good after whatever he has planned is done, in order to "earn" his control over the world, like some sort of liberator. All of this is pure speculation, of course.
Too bad so few people have read it so far, its really a gem of a story. Keep it up!
1308921
If you think the clop has had consequence so far... Man, you're going to love some of the chapters coming up.
Taya is and will remain wary around Discord. She doesn't trust him for good reason, but she isn't ready to betray him yet because she doesn't know who he really is. He told her some things to gain her trust, and when they end up coming true she'll feel a little better about it.
One of my main concerns when writing this story was how much of a Gary Stu Navarone was becoming. Like, just by making a character smart and almost nothing else, he becomes completely overpowered. This isn't as bad early on when he has minor responsibilities, but now it's becoming more and more of a problem as more and more ponies start listening to him. Minor unimportant spoilers: He destroys the biggest crime organization in the world in less than an hour in the chapter I'm working on now, just using his mind. In an effort to combat that, I have him growing more and more of an asshole as he goes through shittier and shittier circumstances. He also still doesn't know how to fight, which comes to haunt him. I know he's getting overpowered, but I don't really know how I can fix that and yet keep his character whole.
AJ doesn't get much screentime because she lives on a farm and is almost constantly working. Nav isn't useful for most farm tasks and thus he doesn't visit her often. The ponies don't stop and think about their actions because they don't stop and think about their actions on the show. The reason there are so many conflicting ideologies and all that is because that's how real life works. Everyone wants something different and most of them want it done a different way and Navarone is just stuck in the middle of it all, his own human values conflicting with the values of the powerful and numerous races that hold his leash. There are several instances wherein he has to make a choice and be damned by one race and loved by another, as we'll see soonish. He doesn't always pick the right choice. It's also hard for the reader because you only get one side of the picture, not knowing if the other person is telling the truth or lying. We know only what Navarone knows or suspects. A lot of conflicts would be solved if we knew more about what other characters are thinking.
Hate and love at the same time this story so much, i just have a hope that it won't be a dark ending. But for now i just say that this is one of the best stories that i ever read.
Navi is leaning towards a jerk-sue. He gets away with so much, but at the same time so many bad things happen to him. His life is just huge roller coaster of highs and lows. Thought at this point he has died several times, but like any good video game character he re-spawns moments later. Really it seems he has more allies than enemies. He needs a foil or an antagonist.
1309377
The reason Celestia lets him get away with so much is because of what happens to him and because of how useful he is to her. We'll learn more soon. Honestly, I think that almost all of the ponies are his foils. His antagonist is Celestia and the race of ponies. He gets away with some things by being forced into tasks by Celestia, like with the naga and Egypt. So it isn't really my opinion that he 'gets away' with it, it's just more that his punishment is less than conventional.
1309113
Because that would be silly. It would also be funny, but it would end poorly for Nav and Spike when Twilight saw them. Also, thanks for putting this story on Reddit, even if it didn't go well there.
1309161
Glad to hear. Remember to promote the story; I'm always looking for more readers.
Grrr... This OP status makes me mad, and out of curiosity... Which side are we supposed to be rooting for?
1310096
Good question. We don't know Discord's goals, but we do know Celestia's goals, or at least part of them. We know that she wants her ponies to do well in the world no matter what, above all else. Would you rather Celestia be in charge of the world with her goals, or would you rather Discord be in charge of the world with unknown goals? It's up to you, honestly. There is no right or wrong answer. Celestia's a bitch to Nav, but she's doing what she does for a good reason, or at least for what she considers a good reason. She tries to soften the blow because she does care about Nav, but she wouldn't hesitate to lock him in irons if he stepped too far from her 'guidance.'
I foresee three possible general endings...
If the story ever ends.
1306320
Define "unique" Also, this has been an interesting chapter... I hate seeing poor Nav in such mental turmoil, you make it so easy to forget that somehow he is actually discord in disguise.
Onward to the next chapter!

gyazo.com/18717fdbf2c1fa67013e5f6c9315bc10
That first number is the number of unique readers, or at least the chapter with the highest number of views. The second number is number of chapter reads, or repeat readers.
i always thought about Celestia and luna moving the sun and moon... that would instill that the sun and moon are a lot smaller then the planet seeing how magic usage also increases with distance and size(i think though never specified but size has)

This is not relate d to the comment i tagged this i just don't know how to tag others.
Alright let me get this right you dammed author , Navarone is Discord , but he doesn't know it, also Navarone doesn't exist or at least didn't exist before the start of the story, so we could say he is just a pre-programmed robot whit memories and shit, that kind of explains why doesn't feel love and all the good the stuff, after all i don't discord could create a consciousnesses, at least a complete one, whit out a real events , he is basically a AM complex (he is just like AM from i have no mouth and i must scream , like glados from portal,etc... basically a Machine filled, an driven by instincts of sorrow and hate ). Regarding the liberty he always seeks, it could be seen as the struggle he has but doesn't knows, is he nothing , is all his a live, does he exist just because of discords plans ? So now author , what awaits us in a thousand years when Navarone is to die . Is it just discord combing back , becoming himself and wreaking the world ; or will Navarone have the chance to exist beyond being only nothing more than a disguise , as crust ?
Regarding this chapter:
You are cruel my dear author, Navarone's daughter is no longer his, she has seen the "real" part of him, the being beyond the illusion now she is his, discord is the real and Navarone is the fake. You are cruel author, really cruel. That only makes the story even more marvelous but sadder.
So now i ask author, will this meters be solved in the future? Will be there a true end to Navarone's life , but a real Navarone's life no this ilusion?
And most importantly, isn't Nvarone Just a Baby?
Noooooooo fuck!!!!! Not dear little taya
Well. I've gotten this far. Might as well take the dive and go all the way.
My impression so far has been varied. I guess it can be explained away with this being 'journal' entries, and as such not everything gets in or recorded.
Early on I wanted to abandon the story when Navarone got raped by Rarity and Pinkie. It was so sudden, so unbelievable that I was left with my jaw hanging open and staring in disbelief at what I had read. And then it was 'forgotten', something that would be impossible. A person does not jump back from being raped, but I suppose I'm not the first one that says that. And now? I really don't give a shit what other people say, you've made up for that over and over again by writing the most awesome asshole I've read so far. His character is consistent, yet he develops subtly all the time.
If I was to retell in short what this story was about, they would believe it to be a pile of ass. Because this story cannot simply be explained in short, to understand every action and consequence they'd actually have to read it. You cover most of the clichés, and yet you make up for it by putting it into context and making use of everything he gains or looses. Most stories fail at this, they forget the downsides and glorify the upsides without thinking.
I envy your skills and patience for writing. I dabble at writing, and some of it even get's popular, but this has a quality I cannot hope to emulate. Mostly because I lack the patience to gain the skills necessary to tell a story like this. I try, and I get the start out well enough, but to continue through like this? Well, you can see when Heaven Sent last updated...
Well. I'm going to get back to reading now. Not entirely sure why I stopped here, but I sense a change coming, bigger than what has been entailed.
And from the very start, my twist-sense has been going haywire. I believe that this story is not at all what you want us to believe it is. There is a depth here that we've only skimmed the surface of so far. I won't discuss it here, because I'll see if I'm right or wrong at the right point in time. All I can hope for is that it comes to an end one day. To see this as Complete would be glorious, and I really hope you see the compliment in that.
this is so #@6##& evil
OMG I just went back and looked at the discription of Taya and then reread that last part and I just realized its screwball :O damn I'm an idiot I should have gone back and looked through the ponies pictures earlier damn that was actually a shock (I never really payed attention to her discription until now so I just imagined her as a filly Lyra I don't know why but I did)
dis shit is so evil but its so time consuming ans awesome
2781995
Wow Screwball... Nice catch... Still I'm ticked at Discord for getting to Taya, NO! Taya you should've stayed with Navarone what is wrong with you?
God I hate Discords abilities, whenever I think it's safe and it'll be fine with Navarone becoming a completely separate person BAM Discord shows up
Still this is SOOO long kudos to the author each chapters take a decent amount of time and I've got like what 50 or so left to still read? Considering how much happens in each chapter too I wouldn't be surprised If I skipped to the end to find out some kind of fallout had occurred and Navarone became some stealthy Lunat warrior with dream and chaos powers fighting back against Discord
He did say he had to help fight back against himself, never said it couldn't be Navarone fighting Discord
2383054
Discord must die.
2919750
*Discord's
Sorry I'm such a grammar griffin.
3009192 But would Navarone die then too?
Wow, i don't think there are any other fics that make me dislike Discord as much as this one.
That was a dick move with Taya.
3024339
I think Discord may be forming a new entity with their own personality and emotions on accident. That entity is Navarone. Just what I think is going on, time to continue reading! (I know I don't have much evidence of this happening, but it's still a possibility in the many that their are.)
