How many 'Diamond Tiara gets hers' stories can you name? · 4:14am Feb 13th, 2017
How many 'Diamond Tiara gets hers' stories can you name? Basically before 'Crusaders of the Lost Mark' altered the dynamic of Diamond Tiara's characters.
How many fics can you name where Diamond Tiara was a little monster who suffered horribly or otherwise was doomed as a mean of 'release' for the readers?
Important to include: What happened to those Diamond Tiaras?
Any you can think of?

I can't name them but I've read them. Death. Rape. Loss of her friend Silver Spoon. Had a horrible fascination on how people viewed her. Then there were the stories where she changed for the better. Life and growing up. Love and friendship. Redemption.
Not sure why I never was on the "Let's smack Diamond Tiara around like a punching bag" band wagon other than she a child. Felt a little sorry yet understood the place DT did and could have had. Had a respect for this character. She has drive. A fire in her. Diamond Tiara is shit carbon molded into beautiful purpose unrealized. Helps that reminded me of someone.
End of the day and the beginning - they are not real and we got our reality to tend to.
I know of one where the Crusaders wind up in comas thanks solely to her. However, she immediately feels terrible about it, regrets her life, and either wishes herself into their place so hard it happens, or she was the one in the coma to begin with. And another where she and SS are living scum(but SS winds up being like Rarity from Secret Life of Rarity and tries to murder the CMC. So yeah).
4420475 Another where she wound up going into the Guard after being a jerk her whole life, driving away SS, and entering into "I know I'm awful and can't stop, so might as well embrace it" mode(particular nod to her statement that the only good thing she ever did was not become a mother because blah blah what foal would want blah blah). Though it was very well written for what it was, and correctly predicted her special talent years before Lost Mark
I've never seen much outright evil in DT-gets-hers fics, but they do tend to wind up like most fix fics of Mare-Do-Well or other episodes where the fans totally know how it should have gone, u guise! I can prospect for a few of those if you want/need.
I have a bad memory, so I can't really name fics like you're describing, because they were so blandly forgettable and cliched.
I remember Diamond Tiara Goes to Boot Camp, but I think that story was actually excellent, and not really about her suffering, but actually making friends and improving. I remember another story where she got thrown out of her house for breaking Apple Bloom's legs, but again that was a lengthy story that was really about her bonding with the CMC and all four of them growing as fillies. I liked both of those stories, and my only regret is that I think both of them have been abandoned.
I can estimate I've read 5-10 bad stories like you're describing, but I can't name them. Probably for the best.

That reminds me of something I once read where it's the CMC, primarily Scootaloo, who go 'Cupcakes' on Diamond Tiara and terrorize Silver into staying silent. Even nastier, that leads to the CMC getting their cutie marks -- for killing ponies!
4423037 ...this fandom has serious issues
4423426 Sometimes I think it doesn't just have issues, it has a lifetime subscription complete with special collector's issue and scented floral inserts.
But then there's a lot of good stuff from it, too.
