Discord Vs. Diamond
“Goodbye, Diamond, I’ll be back on Monday night. And please, try not to give Ms. Fluttershy any trouble when she gets here.” Filthy Rich said to his daughter before trotting out of the mansion and shutting the door behind him.
Diamond Tiara scrunched up her face and let out an angry groan.
“I DON’T need a foalsitter I said. I can take care of myself just fine I said. But does he ever listen? Noooo.” She grumbled to nopony in particular.
She walked up the stairs to her room, still lost in her own, angry thoughts.
“Oh well. At least I have a couple minutes to myself before she gets here. And Fluttershy’s a total pushover anyway. It’s not like she’s going to give me any REAL trouble.” She said.
Diamond made it to her room and sat herself down in front her rather expensive looking mirror and started brushing her mane. Diamond Tiara’s bedroom was pretty much the thing that defined every stereotype about fillies her age. Teddy bears covering her gigantic bed, Neon Lights posters everywhere, a picture of Applebloom on a dartboard engulfed in darts (okay, not so fillylike there), and everything, I repeat EVERYTHING, was pink. If it wasn’t obvious before that she was a stuck-up, spoiled little brat, it would be now if you saw it for yourself.
“I don’t know. Maybe if I can get Silver Spoon to come here for the weekend things won’t be so bad, just as long as Fluttershy doesn’t get in my way.” She said.
Diamond sat in front of her mirror, admiring the unbearable cuteness of her face’s reflection. She had pretty much convinced herself that she was absolute perfection. Her dazzling pink and white mane, the sparkle of her tiara, her bright yellow eyes, a completely flawless smile…
“…Wait what?! Yellow eyes?!” Diamond exclaimed, snapping out of her trance.
After coming back to reality, Diamond realized her reflection had been REALLY messed up. Her eyes had been turned completely yellow with red pupils, both with different sizes, and it smiled devilishly back at her.
“Hehehehe. SURPRISE!” It shouted in a voice that was most definitely NOT hers.
Diamond fell off her chair in shock, and lay on the floor looking at the twisted version of herself in the mirror, looking quite scared. The pony in the mirror backed up a bit, ran in her direction, and jumped right out of the mirror. But what came out didn’t even remotely resemble a pony. It had the same yellow eyes and all, but it was way too tall and had the body parts of a ton of different animals. It stood up from it’s crouching position on the floor, raised it’s head up and let out a maniacal laugh.
“Mwahahahaha! That look on your face! Hilarious!” Discord laughed.
Diamond recovered from Discord’s cheap jumpscare and gave him a major death glare.
“Oh it’s you. What are you doing in my house loser?” She asked rather rudely.
Discord didn’t care much for this filly’s bad attitude, and only chuckled.
“Oh now isn’t that just precious? The snobby little filly thinks she’s better than me just because her daddy’s worth more than the combined income of Ponyville. It’s just too cute!” Discord chuckled, pinching the filly’s cheek.
After Discord let go, Diamond rubbed her sore cheek with her hoof, still giving that angry look.
“You didn’t answer my question you jerk. Why the hay is a freak like you in my home?” She growled.
Again, Discord found himself not being able to take the little brat seriously, but decided to go ahead and humor her.
“Well the answer to that question is quite simple my little pony. I’ve been assigned to look after a certain little filly. Tell me, does a miss Diamond Tiara live here?” He asked with a hint of fake ignorance on the matter.
Discord had been doing a pretty good job at getting on Diamond’s nerves, and it showed…a lot.
“Yeah, she’s me. But Fluttershy was supposed to foalsit here! What the hay did you do to her?!” Diamond yelled.
Discord looked pretty uninterested in the filly’s yelling, as he had just been laying in a reclining position in the air and let out a loud yawn, waving his lion paw in front of his mouth.
“Oh fine, I suppose you deserve an explanation. You see, this is what happened…”
Fluttershy had just come back into her cottage after feeding her chickens, when she heard what sounded like barfing coming from the bathroom.
“Oh my. That doesn’t sound good.” She said.
She walked over to the bathroom door and gave it a knock.
“Angel? Angel Bunny are you alright?” she asked nicely.
At that moment, the sound of a toilet flushing could be heard, and the door opened, revealing a very sick looking rabbit. His face had turned a dark green, his whiskers looked disheveled and unkempt, and he had bags under his eyes.
Fluttershy gasped at seeing Angel looking so sick.
“Angel! Oh you poor thing you look terrible!” Fluttershy cried.
Angel gave a glare that communicated ‘Yeah. I’ve noticed.’, and let out a very loud sneeze. A trickle of snot dripped from his twitching nose, prompting him to suck it back in.
Fluttershy scooped the rabbit in her hooves and flew him into his bed, and put a hoof on his forehead.
“Oh my, you’re burning up! Don’t worry honey, I’ll take care of you.” She said.
Suddenly in a bright flash of white light, Discord appeared by Angel’s bedside wearing a nurse’s outfit. He scanned his eyeballs across the tiny rabbit’s figure, stuck a thermometer into his mouth, causing the mercury to rise, and the end to completely shatter.
“Hmmm. In my professional opinion…this guy’s sick as all heck.” Discord pointed out the obvious.
Fluttershy gave her chaotic roommate an unamused stare.
“Hey, I’m only telling the truth.” Discord said shrugging his shoulders.
“I know, and it’s really sweet of you to try and help and everything but…” Fluttershy sighed.
Another flash of light ensued, and Discord appeared behind Fluttershy, holding her shoulders, now minus the nurse uniform.
“Awww what’s wrong Fluttershy?” Discord asked.
“Well, it’s just that, I had to foalsit for Mr. Rich for the weekend, but now that Angel’s sick, there’s no way I can leave the house.” She said sadly.
Discord cocked one of his big, white eyebrows.
“Soooo what? Just cancel it. It’s no big deal. Foalsitters cancel all the time.” He said.
Fluttershy shook her head.
“I couldn’t cancel on such short notice. I’d sound so rude doing that…Oh but I can’t just leave Angel like this. What am I going to do?” she sadly asked herself.
After a few moments, Fluttershy’s ears perked up, and she looked up at Discord with a huge grin.
“Fluttershy, what’re you giving me that…..No way.” Discord was able to tell what she was thinking almost immediately.
“Pleeeeease Discord? Can you watch Mr. Rich’s daughter for a few days for me?” Fluttershy pleaded.
“Fluttershy, I am the God of Chaos for Celestia’s sake, I have a reputation to live up to! Besides, that title doesn’t exactly speak foalsitter to well does it?” Discord said.
Fluttershy wouldn’t let up though.
“Pleasepleasepleaseplease?” she asked
Discord turned his back and crossed his arms.
“No. I don’t wanna.” Discord wasn’t budging.
Fluttershy was running out of options. Nopony else was free for the weekend, Discord was acting like an immovable wall, and all rational ways to deal with this problem have failed. Fluttershy knew that her signature stare didn’t work on Discord, but she did have SOMETHING that did work. Whenever she needed something from anypony immune to “The Stare”, she had to resort to her secret weapon.
Fluttershy’s ace in the hole…
Overwhelming cuteness.
Discord noticed the face Fluttershy was giving him and winced.
“You can give me that look all you want Fluttershy, but my decision stands firm.” He said.
“…”
“...You’re gonna have to stop sometime.”
“…”
“…Seriously Fluttershy, cut it out.”
“…”
“…..Gaaaaargh! Alright fine! I’ll watch the kid okay?! Just stop looking at me like that! You happy now!?” Discord yelled in defeat.
Fluttershy’s tears immediately sucked back into her eyes, and a smile returned to her face.
“Thank you Discord.” She said cheerily, returning to Angel’s bed to look after him. As she did that, Discord came to a sudden realization.
‘Wait…was I just outsmarted by Fluttershy?’ he thought to himself…
“She ditched me for a RABBIT?!” Diamond yelled in utter disbelief.
Discord resumed laughing.
“Kind of a negative way of looking at it, but pretty much yeah.” Discord chuckled.
Diamond Tiara’s eyebrows narrowed and her face was still in a scowl.
“I guess if her dumb pet is sick then it’s a little understandable. A little. But she couldn’t have at least sent somepony less…I don’t know…UGLY?!” Diamond shouted.
“Hey you’re no prize yourself, sister. I swear my head is spinning from all that darn perfume you’re wearing.” Discord said, and he meant that literally, because the second he caught wind of it, his head spun rapidly all the way around his neck.
“Hey, I smell fantastic! I’ll have you know that my daddy buys me the most divine and expensive fragrances known to ponykind!” Diamond yelled.
Discord put his eagle talons to his face.
“Oh what have I gotten myself into?...We’re getting a tad off track here Ms. Tiara. The point is-“ Discord snapped his talons, disappeared, and reappeared next to the filly, now wearing a Mary Poppins outfit.
“The point is that I’m in charge of you while your dad’s away. And until he gets back, you’re stuck with me…so you better get used to it. And who knows, you may learn to enjoy it, what with my nutty powers of Chaos and all.” Discord said, drumming his fingers together with an evil smile on his face.
Discord once again, snapped his fingers and disappeared. Across the hallway, Diamond heard the sound of the toilet in the bathroom flushing, followed by a loud explosion.
“Whoops…Ummm Diamond? I think somepony may have flooded your uhh…you know…entire bathroom.” Discord shouted from the other side.
Diamond facehooved at her new foalsitter’s lame excuse.
“This can’t possibly end well.” She said.
Yes. I like this plan. More. Make her suffer.
She deserves every bit of misery Discord gives her.

3951659 I completely agree with both of you. Oh and KEEP WRITING!!!!!!!!
Finally this brat gets what she deserves
Discord: Well, I am practically perfect in every way.
CONTINUE IT!! Please.
I love this please continue kind sir!
I love this please continue kind sir!
I love this please continue kind sir!
Daaaamn, this story has gotten such positive feedback. Now featured on the popular stories section on the home page.
I mean, I know you all wanted Discord to give that little brat what she deserves and all, but...dang.
While I'll admit I have had an idea where Discord torments Diamond Tiara that has been percolating in my head for a bit, the reaction to this is one of the big reasons I feel the show promotes a messed up sense of priorities. Diamond Tiara is a horrible bitch that needs to be cut down a peg, but having her tortured by a god-like being who has done much worse purely for cathartic value and nothing else doesn't sit right with me.
Diamond Tiara makes fun of people without Cutie Marks and makes fun of the disabled, and many in the fandom feel there's nothing that would be too much for her.
Discord torments people on a national scale and amputates their limbs to make them play his messed up games, undermines their deepest sense of identity, mind rapes people for fun, and does stuff that could get people killed in the process of messing with them just to see if they would be his friend despite him never making any overtures himself, but because he's funny and entertaining and Fluttershy is willing to stand up for him, we don't mind.
If this ends on a "ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED" (Warning, graphic violence) /You Bastard-style commentary on the readers, I'd totally approve. Otherwise, I will call hypocrisy.
I do so enjoy good literature my good pony! So please, don't mind me, continue on by all means!
3953840 Yeah, we can pretty much agree that Diamond Tiara's a total bitch, and I've wanted to see her get what was coming to her for the longest time. And I thought "Who better to give it to her than the king of smartasses?"
And since Discord's whole "reforming" (and I use that in the loosest sense), he's had to kind of tone his chaos down to a much smaller scale, mostly consisting of using his powers to be a mega troll. And since Diamond Tiara is really not used to dealing with major smartasses, I had decided that Discord fit the bill to give Diamond a taste of her own medicine.
I think the whe point you're making is that we hate Diamond for being a bitch, but we love Discord for it. There's a simple explanation for it. Discord's fun-loving personality makes him very likeable, and you want to hate him, but you JUST CAN'T. Diamond Tiara on the other hand, has seriously no redeeming qualities. Being a troll is one thing, but being a complete asshole is another.
All of that, and i thought it'd be funny.

You win. Anyone who intones otherwise is secretly a Diamond Tiara fan. THEIR OPINIONS DO NOT MATTER!
3953891
The last bit is where we disagree, and makes my point about the messed up sense of priorities. Discord, for all his entertainment value, has made the lives of probably millions of people miserable for his own sick amusement and has damn near gotten multiple people killed (including after his supposed reformation), whether necessitating a trip to the middle of the Everfree Forest while dangerous vines that he personally planted ran amok to fix a a problem he caused and could easily fix , or sending Twilight and Cadance to the ends of Equestria under false pretenses, a trip that nearly got them eaten by a Tatzelwurm.
Diamond Tiara on the other hand, may not be likeable, in fact she's a bitch almost all the time, but she's never endangered anyone's life, which is something that the Cutie Mark Crusaders themselves cannot claim to be innocent of, let alone Discord.
See? Secret Diamond Tiara fan.
No one in their right mind argues for the pointlessly evil villains. Especially by comparing villains!
CONTINUE, GOOD SIR. We must see this heinous pig get what's coming to her! Mad Tyrant-style! I'm a staunch Celestia-backer, but I'm going to root for Discord just this once!
Added to read later so I can follow it.
Before I saw the puppeteer stuff, your cover image looked to me like Discord was skateboarding off of DT's head. It seemed hilarious.
3955137 I didn't notice until you pointed that out, but looking at it now...it does.
THIS IS SO PERFECT! Two characters in which one is awesome ( Discord) and one SUCKS ( Diamond Tiara) Put them in a situation like this, and you have one of S4 greatest episodes. Seriously.... But Great Story, liked and faved.
Please sir, can I have some more?
Well this looks like it's worth keeping an eye on. Though I'd honestly expect Discord and Diamond Tiara to end up working together to torture other ponies.
3956090 MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!?!!
Yeah, let's
3953891
I don't think that's the case actually. No, I expect it has more to do with people having experience with bullying and such in real life. It causes a lot of long term harm, and people build up a lot of hate because of it, hate they then project upon a cartoon character. Meanwhile, they have no experience with chaos demons. And the same goes for other characters the fandom loves who are also much worse than DT. "The death of one man is a tragedy. The death of millions is a statistic."
That real life connection results in people not giving her character a chance. They slap on blinders, resulting in comments like "she has no good traits", when the show itself has shown the opposite. She has ponies who like her besides Silver Spoon; gets along fine with other class mates; can get along fine with the CMC; adults like her; adores her father; doesn't go out of her way to bug the CMC, unlike Babs; etc. You also get people that don't treat her like a character, someone with both good and bad aspects, and instead use her as a one dimensional and rather bland/boring character, when she could be so much more. You know, the usual crap you get in Silver Spoon redemption stories or "the new colt in class who white knights the CMC". It's absolute crap writing, but the authors don't realize it, because they're too busy hating/projecting to actually develop the character, to write a decent story. Instead, they write drivel that mostly appeals to others who are projecting their real life issues the same way.
Which is a real shame because she's a character that has the potential to interact in interesting ways with almost any other character. But for that to happen, you have to see her as a character.
Having written DT & Discord interacting together, I know the two can work quite well together. Discord's love of chaos combined with DT's stubbornness and tendency to be absolutely adorable when frustrated... it's a great combo with lots of potential. The question is: Will that potential be used? Can you get past your dislike of the character to tap into it?
I'm hoping so, because if you can, this could be good.
You have my attention, make haste in releasing the next chapter!
3954547 Whelp, I openly enjoy Diamond Tiara as I do any of the CMC, and I still think your opinion is meaningless, because, it literally doesn't affect us from enjoying a pony who has plenty of redeeming qualities such as Diamond Tiara, as long as you aren't a bunch of selfish, trouble making, ponies named Apple Bloom or Scootaloo, and soon Sweetie Belle who ON PURPOSELY destroys the dress of one of Rarity's most important clients for either not getting attention WHEN she wants it or others.
I'm sorry, but all the ponies on the show have flaws. And very much how people like you would probably go mass downvoting stories that show Diamond Tiara outside of a CMC focused light, actually doing stuff with her character, within the show's canon and building with it, I don't go downvoting stories that put their hate and intent on what they want to do to a filly they know nothing about because they don't actually bother to watch and try to understand her character.
She's twice proven already to a bunch of very ignorant bronies that claim all she does is make fun of blank flanks, when in reality she admits to have only used those taunts to get reactions from Apple Bloom and the other CMC.
Opinions don't mean squat to your kind. Bigotry and holding grudges is all you seem to enjoy doing, if you want to spread hate and gather among other equally ignorant people that agree to everything you think to be true, than go on. But even if you look back to Call of the Cutie, you can see many things that have led the CMC to become some very unpopular (in show) ponies. They are the UNDERDOGS and people like to root for the underdog.
Fun fact: Disabled people can be assholes too. Just because you have a disability, does not grant you a right to treat others like their owe you favors. Having worked with and gone on trips with fellow members of the Forum House, I can tell you that a few (I certainly don't make presumptions beyond those I've had encounters with) use their *technical* disability status to get away with a lot of messed up stuff.
No one is a saint. Mane 6 have plenty of flaws. And just because you like Discord, doesn't make him any less of a potential genocidal murderer. Did you not see two ponies about to be potentially killed right by him as he filed his claws?
If you ask me, the sick ones are the ones who praise these lunatics and use them to abuse children.
But, it's a good thing my opinion of your kind are meaningless, so I imagine you'll feel right as rain ignoring all this and continue reading your Diamond Abuse fics with your buddies as you each wank each other off to some ancient god whose tormented and emotionally raped countless others to do so again to an opinionated pink filly whose obsesses with social status and not liking the school fillies you probably clop to at night.
ta-ta,
And to the Author,
3953891
All I could ever ask from those who hate Diamond Tiara, and actually crap their hate out to join onto the cesspool of other stories written that serve no purpose but to enact the disgruntled fantasies of authors onto a fantasy character, here on Fimfic, is just this: Please, just TRY to make it not suck.
As is Chapter 1 got the ball rolling well into a "Taste of Your Own Medicine", and it would be a shamed to waste a decent setup just to make Discord do things to do things. I'm personally still holding my own judgement towards this story, you can write a good abuse fic that stays within the contents of the show and tries to make us believe it would happen, or you can write a shitty one. There is a pretty big difference. I'd advice watching episodes closely with Discord and Diamond Tiara.
3981244
You typed all of that and are still both wrong and a pretentious jackass. I applaud you.
I don't actually like Discord, and I was the one pointing out the fact he was a genocidal tyrant to this fandom long before you picked up on the train, son. But in a situation between Tiara and Discord, I'll actually side with Discord (until such time as anyone else walks up and I can ditch the accursed snake). One has done evil, one is evil. One is by choice, one is by nature.
Also, given the content of your masturbatory post both to me and the writer, you've made it rather obvious that you're a fan of Diamond Tiara. While my post you're replying to was entirely a joke in the theme of the story - the fact you would actually stoop to defending such a monstrous character so vehemently to other persons tells me you need help. Severe help, and potentially away from other people that you might do wrong by. Also, fantastic generalization with "your kind", there. As if you possessed the level of comprehension necessary to ascertain anything about me that wasn't pure speculative bias meant to stroke your flaccid ego.
There's so much wrong with your post I won't even bother to go into it. But frankly, you need to grow up. I can only feel pity for you and your backwards, misguided ways, complete with your pent-up hatreds and superiority complex. Stay classy, and keep repping your little pink monster who emotionally scars others to get her own rocks off - just like you failed to do.
Is it wrong that I find Fluttershy's cuteness to be the most hilarious thing I've seen in the past week?
Oh this will be fun!
The show actaully needs an episode like this.
Although, I'd actually be more interested in the plot of the episode being that Discord is trying to help Diamond Tiara in his own way by making her experience what it's like to be bullied.
That moment where Fluttershy uses her infinite adorableness on Discord could be partly FlutterCord... At least I see it like this
