Diamond Tiara is the perfect little girl. Pretty, sweet, kind, caring...
At least, that's what the adults think about her.
In reality, Diamond Tiara is none of those things. She is conniving, abusive, temperamental... and that's on a good day.
When a magical being of evil promises Diamond that her wildest dream will come true, all of Ponyville is in danger.
Kind of.

diamond tiara tried to take over equestria. her father sends her too her room for trying.
I was amused.
you get a billion points if this is referencing the books and not the movies
Much better than Nightmare Rarity.
2695521
I think you give Filthy Rich too much credit.
2695545
I couldn't ask for more.
2695551
What if I told you that Tom Bombadil was one of my favorite LoTR characters?
2695602
Maybe, but I haven't read the comics yet.
Soon, says I.
The two worst things that exist in Equestria, in a good story. Nice
You know I could totally see Diamond embracing the Nightmare with gusto.
Also, great parenting skills there, Mr. Rich. You should write a book.
I have noticed two different reference in this story.
1.) Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.
2.) Alice Cooper's song, School's Out.
i love your story and i really love the ending!!!
You get five Internet points for referencing Alice Cooper. I would have given you ten, but unfortunately you didn't quote any of my favorite Alice Cooper songs.
Heh. Alright, added to Twilight's Library. Your next task, should you choose to accept it, is to write about Nightmare Spoon...
Is Living Dreams the pony equivilent of the symbiote?
2695737
Well, maybe the two scariest things in Equestria.
2696018
Bringing Up Tyrants, or How I Learned to Stop Caring and Enjoy the Empire.
2696112
1) Right you are.
2) Yes, but that one was actually an accident. Go figure.
2696786
Thank you, thank you. It was a pleasure to entertain.
2696948
You may consider subtracting those Internet Points(tm), considering I was actually referencing a show that had referenced the song.
Referenception?
Transformers: Animated had a scene where a tutoring robot (long story) was acting wonky. He sputtered out the quote before shutting down completely.
I didn't even think about the song until it was mentioned here.
2697065
Sweet!
Nightmare Spoon? Tempting, I gotta say. The puns could be glorious.
I'm not sure I have the attention span to write two stories with such a similar concept in a row, unfortunately.
2697392
They're certainly an inspiration.
Referencing Disney's The Little Mermaid? Yep this story just got 20& cooler in my book.
2697392
Yes I do believe it is.
Weird. I'm also writing a story where Diamond Tiara a villain (Albeit as "queen" of the windigos). BTW This story wouldn't happen to be inspired by issues 5-8 of the comic, now is there?
We need a sequel to this!
Diabolical!!
What the hell did I read and why do I like it?
~Skeeter The Lurker
2697825
A little.
Twice.
2698002
And if it's not, it's close enough to count.
2698141
Close...
2698862
Dastardly so, I imagine.
2698864
What you read was my latest story, why you liked it is an entirely nebulous question that only you can answer.
2699406
Thank you, it was my pleasure to share.
2698039
The idea comes from the comics, even if the plot is completely separated. Still haven't read those comics yet.
2698646
Don't hold your breath, i'm not entirely sure where else I could take this and still keep it fun.
2700270
Pardon me? I don't think I understand what you mean.
And i'm just waiting like the idiot I am for Diamond to get told off by her parents and sent to her room while Nightmare is sent to the moon. LOL.
2699406 This was? More like this IS!!!
2701321 filly nightmare?? Hmm what is your opinion on this?? Mine is that she is soooooooo, Cute!!!
2700375
What I mean is that I liked the story so much that it made me produce some ideas for stories in my head.
2700374 Ah, Yzma's song that never was.
2701312
Hee.
I'm always in the business of defying expectations.
2702623
My personal, unbiased opinion is that she's flipping terrifying. Have you seen my cover art? Chilling.
2702643
Ah, inspiration. It's a wonderful thing, no?
2703480
Sad but true.
It's still pretty magnificent.
2703952 Good as it was, it wouldn't fit in The Emperor's New Groove well.
2702623 I'm going to hug the stuffing out of her!
...... Bwahahahaha
Oh and the name sounds a bit weird , nightmare tiara ?
2704514
Agreed. "Happy, Happy Birthday" was a nice villain song, too.
2705964
Ooh, she gonna be maaaad as a hatter.
2706587
Well, Nightmare Diamond is just plain unwieldy, Nightmare Gem or Jewel sounds like a Wario World boss, and Nightmare Crown seems nonindicative.
Really, the name's the lesser of several evils, so to speak.
2712677 ???
2712718
Okay, that might be a bad joke. But it is a song about a villain...
2712734 Ah, that's what I thought at first, but I disregarded it because I didn't consider it a villain song. Also, Yzma's scream!
2712926
Yup, that joke missed the mark a bit. Should have linked it in right away.
Heeheeheeheehee...
That whole sequence is just awesome. I gotta watch that movie again.
This was silly and fun! I like the direction you took with the Living Dream.
Diamond Tiara stories always make me laugh. Thanks for writing!
That was so much fun
2716407
Thanks for stopping by, i'm glad you enjoyed it! Silly and fun are two of my favorite things in the world, i'll have you know.
2719838
Awesome.
I love spreading fun almost as much as Pinkie Pie.
2695551 What 8ooks/movies are those?
2697825 20&?
2698039 Um... What?
2712677 How a8out Diamond Nightm8re?
2728984 Ah dang it typo I meant 20%...I was typing to fast when I wrote it.
2728981
Lord of the Rings, a classic no matter how you slice it.
Issues 7-8 of the comic feature a certain favorite unicorn undergoing transformation into the new Nightmare Moon.
It just doesn't ring true if the name starts with anything but "Nightmare." Nightmare Tiara's my choice, and i'm sticking with it!
2729078
Don't worry too much, everyone makes typos...
Which is why it's important to go over everything you post with a fine-tooth comb before you hit "Add Comment."
2729028 If you're talking about the Diamond Tiata as queen of windigos thing. You'll have to ready my story to find out ;P
If you're talking about the comic this, See 2729904
2729904 which comic?
It's always fun to find a story that's intended to be funny and succeeds. If Diamond's involved, it's all the more interesting.
The concept of Diamond taking over Equestria is one I've been waiting to see put into effect, and the frivolous implementation of it used in this story is practically made of comedy. It takes them forever to figure out she's actually got such power, and once they do, no one seems to care. Her class even gets distracted by their own discussion while she's performing her 'hostile' takeover. The only way it could have been funnier is if they never actually noticed her doing anything.
Diamond's characterization fit well with the facetiously antagonistic role she filled. She was manipulative, surly, and haughty with just enough ignorance of her flaws and emotional conflict to seem like a well-rounded Diamond. There was no hesitance regarding taking Nightmare's powers beyond finding out who the creature was, and her denial of the musical number probably took the spot of my favorite part in the story. I also enjoyed Wimpy Filthy. He added that touch of submission that normally falls to Silver. Speaking of her, Silver's quasi-independent personality was skillfully executed, and helped to support Diamond's delusions of power. As far as Nightmare goes, you've definitely got my favorite interpretation of her. The concept of her taking the form of the last person that accepted her power is an nice twist, and made for a splendidly humorous ending.
From my perspective, the story's biggest flaw is that it holds back that extra bit of humor that would really make it amazing. I liked the efficient setup of Diamond ruling Equestria with that drawing as a visual, but Cheerilee's genuine teacher response to Diamond's classroom behavior sort of cut into the humor. In my experience, having serious moments in a comedy is either for the purpose of making something trivial extremely serious for comedic effect or creating a moral amid the comedy. This scene didn't really fall into either of the two categories, and I think it could have pushed the envelope and set the tone for the scene to come. Cheerilee could have seen the picture and been upset that Diamond drew her head too big in proportion to her body or maybe the punishment she assigned could have been completely ludicrous like making her wear a suit of bubble wrap all day. Anything to complement the takeover scene would have helped keep the comedy more consistent. The following scene with Twilight fell into about the same category. A little too much lecture without enough punch line. Comedy is all about unpredictability, and when you have a short story with a key focus on something absurd, solemnity only drags things down.
Good work with the editing. I don't recall spotting any errors. All I seem to remember is this sentence:
There's no comma needed between 'day' and 'and' since 'her mind' and the 'kind of fun' make up a compound noun.
I'd call this story a frosted shortcake sprinkled with carbonated candy. It really is explosive, and it's really its own flavor of sweet.
Make the most!
