Good comic

Pia-Sama should read this.

Its been awhile since I’ve heard about the comic.

👍🔥🔥🔥

Don’t lose hope spike she is still their but may have to help her bring her back from darkness into the light

Where can I read the comic in the picture?

It's sad to have watched Celestia fall far in that comic, and Spike lost the only other person who cared for him. Even when he escaped her he was still living a nightmare being a dragon in a pony society who cared nothing for him. Especially his former boss who planned to have him eliminated and his secretary who had no qualms with wanting to kill him.

does this give off the vibe and scarieness of OPEN UP YOUR EYES for you?

Sorry to barge in and ask the stupid question, but can someone please give me a summary of what this "Rogue Diamond" story is about, and/or why Tia is "dead" or whatever? I have other priorities IRL at the moment, so I don't really have enough time to sink my teeth into what appears to be a very, VERY long-running story.


Pretty please with whipped cream and a cherry on top?

Celestia went mad and flooded the world soon after Luna's return.
It's like a post-apocalyptic action comic with strong manga vibes.

Poor Spike. This was a good read.

Considering all the evidence you are probably 100% right to assume that that isn't Celestia. That is almost definitely Discord using Celestia's form. The only thing not in her form is the removed claw that we see in an earlier panel. Which Discord almost definitely removed himself then transformed into Celestia leaving that claw to anchor his transformation. considering all the other times he's transformed into a normal object or animal that doesn't already dipict him he has to seemingly have one distinct feature of his own that can give it away (typically the eyes) that claw is most likely what that is. Luna isn't dead either she's just sealed underneath the ocean just like Celestia is trapped in the plunder Vines. I've already mentioned this theory on the Derpibooru page that shows the image.

Rogue Diamond is a setting where Celestia went Daybreaker without the cosmetic change causing perpetual heatwave melting the icecaps and flooding most of the world. At least that's what I remember from the earlier comics.

11579266 that is what I originally thought until I saw the whole thing with Celestia being wrapped up in plunder vines in a panel directly below Celestia holding discords eagle claw. heavily hinting that both of the equestrian princesses are still themselves and this is a Discord that decided to do a Chrysalis. Wrong but I'm almost 100% sure that it isn't

It's a common use of imagery that isn't meant to be taken literally. If you read the actual full comic series not just the panels you're referring to (btw she's wearing a gauntlet) she went through the same sort of fall due to jealousy as Luna did into Nightmare Moon for similar reasons. You even get Celestia's inner dialogue about it at one point. The panels you're referring to are from Spike's perspective at a later point of the comic representing how he feels about the way Celestia changed.

I have read the entire series up to the fight with Octavia

Doesn't seem like it considering the very beginning of it is told with a mix of first person remembrance and omniscient third person view filling in the details showing Luna's return, Celestia's fall to madness leading to the flooding, the resulting fight, and Celestia's inner dialogue which destroys that theory. It is Celestia/Daybreaker not Discord however it wouldn't be farfetched to imagine he somehow influenced her similar to his actions in his first appearance in the show (considering the personality flip) without it coming out quite the way he expected (which would be par the course for him). That type of tyranny is an extreme form of Order which goes against everything that Discord can personally do. Honestly I prefer Discord as the villain as nothing in the show has ever shown him as actually redeemed or reformed, his only regrets are getting caught and revealed to Fluttershy and he still keeps repeating it even after that as everything in the canonic 'season 10' comics is revealed to be due to him again.

I just realized something a little while ago Luna isn't dead rogue diamond was started after the movie came out who do we know that could save Luna from a watery death by just transforming her and who was introduced in said movie

Only problem is that ain't Celestia. There is an image that shows the person on the throne and then Celestia down in the caves underneath canterlot wrapped up in plunder Vines. We also see this mad version of Celestia holding a eagle claw and this is well before Gilda was shown to be a thing at least in the canonic timeline. it's quite probable it's Discord who decided to flood the world to cause chaos and get back to ruling it his country with an iron fist (or her country depending on if this version is able to change gender on the fly wouldn't put it past them though) also considering when the first page of rogue Diamond came out it's quite possible Luna isn't dead just transformed into a hippogriff and even if not she survived without oxygen on the moon of course she would survive in a sealed coffin I mean it'd be a wolverine situation with constantly drowning and then waking up but seriously

... Dude, learn to space and use punctuation. I could barely understand any of that wall of text. Plus, my original post was so long ago that I forgot about it entirely, so I honestly don't care anymore. Yeesh.

I understand your problems with the way I type. I try to use the correct punctuation but when using speech to text at 4:00 a.m. on 18-hour day I tend to screw up a bit.

Alright, I'll give you that. Sorry for being rude.
