    About the 2nd story to do that to me today.

    Will stay a One-Shot?

    I loved all of this, any chance of a possible sequel?

    Celestia returning once again, with another memory?

    When I saw the notification "When You Were Young" I thought "Oh No."

    Then I saw it was written by Art Inspired, and everything became well again.

    Good job, and keep up the fantastic work. :pinkiehappy:

    The beginning was kinda kitschy, but I think that's just what a borred Discord would do time to time in eternal darkness.

    And, you know, power corrupts. Absolute power.. is a whole lot of fun.

    I totally agree with Discords point here. Endless darkness is still better than.. this.

    A sequel? Where Celestia makes Discord a better soul? And they will live happy again, without discord being imprisoned? That would be really good, like an alternate ending for this. :eeyup:

    Or you just make another chapter, where Celestia returns to him and tries to make him better. But Discord is to stubborn and remain angry at the princess. And he will live his remaining life in sorrow.

    Or just live this story as it is and the readers will fantasies about a sequel. :twilightsmile:

    Anyway, good story! Liked and faved. :eeyup:

    What, art inspired not writing clopfics? Stop watchin! Jk, but seriously it's nice to see an author change their writing style and try out new ways to write stories instead of just clop, clop, and more clop.

    You're doing a great job of structuring the story, but you're being way too trigger happy with your thesaurus. A lot of the big words you've included are just improperly used, while in other cases it would be far better to use a simpler word. It's decent as is, but it could be a great story if you tightened up the word choice.

    hey, quick question

    celestia imprisoned nightmare moon then twilight w/ fiends removed her evil powers

    so why can't they do that with discord?

    do they hate discord?

    does anyone diverse to be trapped, sitting, alone, so quiet.... everyone passes by yet no one sees you.... it's not fair!

    not even sitting really, he has to stand for eternity. let's play empathy, now you go hide and i'll trap you in stone forever, just to see how it feels

    No dislikes...well, let me say I won't be the first, because this has potential. I was really happy this just wasn't a one-shot, though the first chapter was still nice. I am a huge DiscordxCelestia fan (though whether it be friendship or more, I don't care), so of course I was interested. The bit with the flower was sweet and cute. I wonder when things will turn sour and ugly, because, of course, we wouldn't have the first chapter if nothing bad happened. So keep going; you've got my attention.

    >>1139511 See, that's exactly what I'm talking about: there's no such thing as a big diction. Diction refers to either one's word choice or their distinctive word choices. You can't claim to have a large vocabulary if you're not using have your seven-dollar words correctly.
