The Iguana Man


I am just a simple thinker, though some call me mad.

As the years have passed, Discord has grown more comfortable and adapted to the world of mortal beings. He's learned a good deal of how they work, fumbled his way into knowing how to talk to them, he's even got himself more than one real friend - imagine that! As such, this year, he finally feels ready to host a gathering within his personal realm of chaos. And what better time for it than Hearth's Warming?

Everything is suited to them - Gravity is going down, Cause is making sure to precede Effect and all the necessary means of sustaining life - snacks, drinks, oxygen - are in plentiful supply. And yet, somehow, his guests seem a little uncomfortable.

Naturally, as host, it's his duty to get to the bottom of why.


Written for rpglover for Jinglemas 2022. I really hope they like it.

Applejack nodded. “Sorta. Earth, the ground, the planet, the life on and in it... like I said, ain't easy to put into words, but... we can always feel the connection there. Course, most folks don't really develop it too much, but when you're a farmer, you learn t'listen t'the land. Sense gets real sharp-like, y'know? Even when y'ain't touchin' it – up in the clouds or on one o' them big city skyscrapers, you can feel it. Planet's a big place after all. But here?” She shook her head and gave a slightly helpless shrug. “Just ain't there. 'slike bein' in one o' them sensey deprivin' thingies. Just... kinda sets you off-balance, is all.”

This is akin to Toph having a hard time being in the Water Tribes, or any earth bender for that matter. It makes complete sense for earth ponies to experience the same crutch.

Just got done reading this and will be giving my vertic.

It's pretty good. Crazy and random which I like to see. I love the cameo of Sunset Shimmer #SunsetIsBest

I didn't pick Discord and Fluttershy cause they're my favorite (Don't get me wrong, not hating them, just not my fav.) Just as I didn't put a romance request as well.

As it is, I don't think there's anything in the story that would displease a fan of Discord and I certainly hope it gets him both right and entertaining enough to please RPGLover and any other Discord fan who happens to read, but... well, if these sorts of biases were easy to spot, they wouldn't be biases.

As such, if there is anything even a little objectionable in the story, I am truly sorry - I promise I did my best. And, in the case of RPGLover himself, please let me know if it's not good enough - I can always try to arrange something to make it up to you.

Nothing wrong, truthfully, I did question where you were going with Rarity when she was asking about Discord and his feelings for Fluttershy. Only down side was not a whole lot of craziness, but no need to change on my account.

I like to see how people take random suggestions of mine and how they can change them... and if there's a ship I support, it's Sunlight (Twilight x Sunset)

Thanks for the story and have a wonderful Holiday and Happy New Year.

That was a good story.
