In the sky, a sable feather floating. In the air, the sound of engines. On, the wind, a lisping voice: "Buy war bonds." The duck approaches. Discord is terrified.

Why isn't there a Discord tag?

Because they are all Daffy, everyone is Daffy, this is a wasteland where only Daffy is left. And because I forgot to hit the button.
"And other, more powerful things.” He shuddered. “That’s a conversation we don’t have to have. "
Eh, Bugsthulhu is a pretty stand-up entity. Just don't piss him off.
Hmm. The old surreal cartoons really did use that kind of humor that's hilarious if you don't take it seriously and terrifying if you do.
The Black Duck. The Hooter in the Dark. The Merry Messenger. To speak him is to know him. To know him is to call him. To call him is to invite your own destruction through his antics.
And he's not even the worst of his pantheon.
Brilliant portrayal of not settling for the lesser chaos. It's a very short story, yes, but it knows how not to overstay its welcome. Thank you for it, and best of luck in the contest.
I love when people nail the Random tag and that style of humor, because it's always funny to me. As someone who struggles with writing comedy that fast paced, I'm always impressed by how others work it so well.
Daffy v Discord would be amusing, given they both suffer from narcissism that trips them up more often than not when facing other characters.

Bugs feeds on the despair of those who've wronged him, and that would be fine except I don't know where he gets such a steady supply of babyfaced mindless losers who are eager to wrong Bugs Bunny. But then I remember "Duck Amok." He has the power to create and destroy within his own medium. Bugs is a Calvinist god who creates sinners just to torment them; Bugs is a child giving personalities and silly voices to all his toys so it's all the more satisfying to put them in the oven.
And the rules that Bugs's sinner-toys break are not always clear to them. It's the classic problem of fairy tale protagonists angering the fae by transgressing against a law they couldn't possibly have known about. A case study: when two starving castaways land on a jungle island, they see a rabbit. They make the obvious decision to eat it. Unfortunately the rabbit has administrative privileges to reality. How could they have known, and if they'd known then what else could they have done?
All this is strictly about the mid-20th century versions of these characters, obviously. These monsters went soft as they got older, and now can almost function in a moral world.

Discussing the problem there would require going into the basically nightmare nature of Bugs and Daffy's home universe, where killing and eating sapient beings is just a matter of course.

Fair point, fair point, though now I'm thinking about the dead chicken in "Wackiki Wabbit" that Bugs uses as a marionette. Plucked and dressed! Maybe he drew that bird already dead, you might say. But then there's "The Wacky Wabbit," where Bugs attacks with no apparent provocation whatsoever, eventually burying a man alive. The man survives, but he is forever changed (one might say disfigured, even slightly impoverished) by the encounter.
"Plus this fic should have been about the length of a tweet, let's be honest."
Ironically, when I finished reading the story, I felt it should have been longer. But there's also an old saying, "Always leave them wanting more."
All in all, I thought it went over very well with me. Maybe it IS one of those cases where, done just right, less is more?
What I really should have pointed out is, this story achieves a tone I really enjoyed. The fear of the uncanny, the shivers of nightmarishness that afflict even Discord himself are...well, something I liked.

True, look at say, Baby Looney Tunes, or the Looney Tunes Show version from 2011

poggers.
You really should write another "Celestia and Luna kind of adopt a human" kind of story.

I've got a lot of ideas to get through before coming up with more, but if I come up with anything really good (and short) I'll remember you said that.

Well, if you want short it could happen after Celestia and Luna leave for real and let future Alicorm Twilight in charge.
While at first all the free time is fun, the two are too used to doing things and playing superhero does not work for them, Discord then appears to have a chat and suggests that if they are so bored they might as well adopt a baby. Luna is interested in the idea but Celestia is not.
They argue about it, basically they can't agree. Discord suggest to try for a temporary adoption, Celestia reluctantly agrees that may work better. Discord then opens a portal, takes an orphan human kid from the streets and gives it to them. Then says he will see them in three months and disappears despite the royal pony sisters protests.
Daffy being an elderitch horror is always fun
An oddball ghost happened across your fic and read it. Have a review!

Happy birthday! Feeling pretty good about "decent."
