If all you've ever seen of me is what I was, then you don't know me. The mare I've become isn't the filly I was born as, and for all of it, I regret nothing of my new life. This is my story.

Well this is frustrating. Fimfic is throwing a tantrum and refusing to save edits. dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_cry.png
Edit : Oh, OH! You'll let me edit down here, but not up there where it matters? CURSES, FIMFIC!
Other than this, this idea walked in, punched me in the brain, and exited via the keyboard. There's something to be said for ideas that show up ready made, fully formed, that can be written in one bout / fit / attack of writing.
Edit the second: HA! take that fouled grammar! Have at you! En Guarde!
So, what'dya think?
I like it. So Diamond's taken to a calling that almost seems the opposite of her upbringing... but perfectly suited for her temperament. Interesting.
I...
I am happy.
I would totally read the continuing adventures of Diamond Tiara: Cold-blooded Military Hardass. The reactions of the more setting appropriate heroes as the cross paths with her with would be worth the price of admission.
Yay for DT stories. Especially ones that go along with my own headcanon as to what DT's talent is, though personally I prefer to think of Silver Spoon as being a true friend, but that wouldn't mesh as well with your story idea, so I'll forgive that :) Have a thumbs up.
Slight error here. She wasn't among the first, but rather amongst the latter half. She got hers just before Call of the Cutie. Out of the ponies in her class at that time, only two were later, Twist and Apple Bloom. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle believed they were the only two, so whatever class they were in was also mostly cutie marked up prior to DT. Even with them in the mix, that still puts DT fifth to last out of her class (which holds twelve).
Oh sweet, delicious, acrid cynicism and self-loathing. I can never have enough.
This was very well written. I can really hear Diamond Tiara narrating this, though a different version of her.
What? This feeling... I.. don't... respect? For Diamond Tiara? As a person?
... Wow - you're good.

By the holey hooves of Chrysalis I have been humbled by canon!
Handwave it, handwave it desperately!
Amongst the first ponies worth noticing to get their cutie marks. It'd be just like young DT to support such a petty delusion.

This... made Diamond Tiara an entirely worthwhile character.
I want to see more of this DT. She intrigues me, and I want to hear some stories about the Diamondback Dragoons.
ing awesome.
They seem pretty f
i want to see a story for her what all the ponie in her pass will think of her now
I MEAN SHE A BADASS NOW THAT KICKASS
This was...perhaps the best pony story I've read in a long, long time. You came up with one of the most original concepts in all the fandom, and you effing NAILED it... Bravo, good sir. Bravo.
From a technical standpoint, your usage and prose were just about flawless, too, and your command of emotion and narration are something to behold.
I really like this
A fair one-shot I'd say. This is the first story I've read on this site without dialogue, and I believe it's well-executed. The use of one perspective keeps things simple and to the point, and Diamond's personality indicates that there has been some clear change in her personality even though remnants of it are still clearly visible. Perhaps its a bit harsh to say that Filthy and Stinking's names are indicative of problems in her life, but I can see how one would come to such a conclusion in a retrospective look.
The story's short, so depth isn't the focus. Still, since the entire focus is on one character, there seems to be enough depth in the simplicity of the setup. Diamond's independence of her wealth is very believable and fitting, and her lackadaisical approval of her dad makes sense if the story were to truly unfold as it did. I can't say the core of the story is particularly groundbreaking, but the result is something that I can enjoy.
I can say it's an interesting idea, though. She moves past seeing herself as superior in a destructive sense and instead looks down on others merely out of a desire to give them some value. Seems fitting to her character and an excitingly different branching path for the future to take. I'd call this story a hard boiled egg with a bit of salt. The yolk's a bit bland but ultimately enjoyable, and the salty exterior makes for something wonderfully umami.

I concur. We need more.
AWESOME
Sooooooo, that's what badass looks like.
2005655 am waiting for the part where a class reunion pop up she go there and she is now a badass now that can take down almost anyone that even the pussy rolry guard can't take down
Wow! This was awesome!
Headcanoned?
Also, is it weird that I read this whole thing in Jane Lynch's voice?
Wow, this is perfect in so many ways!
Glad to see her grown up. And, if I may, I suspect she IS a better, kinder pony for everything that happened to her. Not weak-willed or afraid of doing wrong, of course, but still better and kinder.
I think the turnaround to joining up was a little too quick and without enough explanation. But thumbs up regardless.
Interesting interpretation of Diamond, well done.
dude.........i'm sitting here trying to sum up how much i loved this, and i can't put it into words. this mirrors one of my bestest friends life so closely, it's fucking scary. bravo, my friend. bra-vo.
Awesome story i give it a good 7.7/10
Is the title right?
It like looks it's missing something.
Remind me to never enlist to any military.
Awesome.
Hurray for character development! I can totally see Diamond Tiara going through this eventually. The fact that she learns to harness her harsh attitude towards others into improving ponies, rather than making them feel awful, is an amazing idea.
Star Swirl's bells, but this was a good read! This is probably the most badass future imaginable for ol' DT.
Seeet Celestia, DT has become awesome! Most badass pony ever!
What the stories say:
Diamond Tiara eyed the recruitment officer. He's a monolith of an earth stallion with bulging biceps and scar tissue dating back to the roughest of wars from across the equestrian seas. Yet he can't make eye contact with her, he can feel the wolves inside this pink pony girlie, and for the first time in years he's scared. He can only muster a weak voice as he croaks out his rejection of her application. He tries so hard to put up a straight face, but he can't stop the subtlest of quivers. This filly is fear. Diamond Tiara keep her cool gaze on him, leans back in her chair, takes a calm breath... and releases the wolves. She swings her head forward and grabs the officer's desk with her teeth and yanks it out from under him. It was the only thing holding up his beefy form, his limbs can't save him from falling face first on the floor because they are trembling to much from abject terror. Diamond tiara lifts the table, she puts all her anger, all her ego, all her emptiness into what comes next. She beats the veteran warrior into a weeping heap, begging her to stop, with the desk. With her TEETH. The door to the office flies open as three more officers rush in to save their pal, but only an ambulance can save him now. She whips her head around and throws the desk at the one the offices. He gets knocked out cold. After seeing that, one of the officers thinks its a good time to run away, and he does. The third is too scared to respond. Diamond Tiara stomps toward him, eating him alive with her eyes. He falls on his rump, backs up to the corner of the room, and wets himself. Diamond Tiara takes out her application form.
She gets approved.
What probably happened:
The recruitment officer was... ripened. He was in good shape for a stallion his age, but you could tell he was one his way to retirement. And furthermore, loved the less exciting job of being a recruitment officer, he barely had a badge on his uniform to speak off. He looks at Tiara's application, and smirks, almost laughs out loud for a sec. That rubs her in all the wrong ways. He hands her application back to her, and she gives him the stare that turns stallions to boys and is about to break him like so many colts before, with her ill willed words. This time he actually does laugh, and waves her off, tells her "Thank you, that'll be all". He's a rare breed... he needs special treatment. All the strife she'd carried with her erupts and she lunges over the table, knocking all his model blimps to the floor. He's shocked. Thought he was safe behind his desk. There is no form in her assault. She tackles the stallion to the ground and is wailing, screeching, biting, smacking and punching at whatever she can get her hooves on. He covers his face calling for help. A younger officer, just one, hears the ruckus and comes it to quite a sight: some crazy chick clawing away at a scared old stallion. He rushes up and pries Tiara off the poor guy, she's still holler and flailing about like an angry cat, and even when he puts her down she reels around in her frenzy and catches him good in the eye. It was a shock, and in a split second of rage he clocks the tartarus out of her, right cross the head. You practically hear the blow echo in the hollow of her skull. Diamond tiara goes down. Oh shit. The two officers are silent, and then they're stammering at each other. The younger one runs out to close the office and the elder stallion looks her over. Oh shit, is that a little blood?
They have a scratched up elder officer, a girl with a possible concussion... and a a potential assault charge. Not two weeks before HIS retirement. He stamps the forms with an approval and they set her down somewhere comfortable. They prey that when she comes to they can avoid a PR nightmare.
Least that's how I imagine it
Ohohlala... DT...
You've gone badass!
