Horrifically Fun

A prequel of sorts to The Wheel and the Butterfly Saga. Can be read on its own.

Discord recounts his exploits as a newly formed being, provides insights into his motivation, and talks about one of the greatest foes he faced while he ruled Equestria over a millennium ago.

Looking forward to the next chapter!
Note:
Proves how much I follow you that I ended up reading this 30 secs after you posted it.
:twistnerd:

Yaay, Discord discourse on datcourse of course. :facehoof:

Yes, Pinkie, you may call me ‘Uncle Disco’,

This has got to become his new fan nickname.

I really liked this. It was metaphysical and irreverent, especially to itself. And the use of the unreliable narrator method is highly effective.

:pinkiecrazy: This just became one of my Fav Discord fics so far!

I'm pretty sure that every time you wrote weary you meant wary... :unsuresweetie:

I do find myself intrigued by this one. Do continue.

Fixed! Thank you! :twilightsmile:

Glad to see people are interested. I'll definitely continue with this.

This? Yes. An appropriately large amount of my yes.

You have just become my favorite author on this site. Keep up the good work dood. :twilightsmile:

I’ll continued.

*continue

Interesting. Never read the original story, so I can't quite judge the plot, but as for the humor, the scene where Discord wouldn't climb down, fearing the whip: :rainbowlaugh:

4526528

Fixed! Thank you! :twilightsmile:

Glad you found it funny. I enjoyed writing that bit. :pinkiehappy:

Thanks! That's the sort of feedback I needed here. None of my other stories are told in this exact style, so I'm glad to read the style seems to be working out.

“Your tricks won’t work on me, Discord!” Whiplash said.
I bubble up into a column of gelatinous goo and then solidify back to my ol’, Draconequus self. I folded my arms in front of my chest. “You’ve said that one.”
“I’ve braved everything you’ve thrown at me and now I’m going to take you out!”
I puffed a gust of air up, blowing my eyebrows off my face briefly. “Said that one, too!” I replied in a bored tone as my eyebrows drifted back into place.
“You’ll pay for giving the broccoli on my family’s farm the ability to run away!”
I rolled my eyes and slumped back into my throne. “You’ve also said that one…”

Discord should keep a list of how many times he's heard certain lines

Awesome! I hope as a side bit you have ponies digesting the fact that he is basically the creator of all life on their world.

:yay: AWSOME DISCORD IS AWSOME
and quite in character to :rainbowkiss:

Just a bit about Pinkie, wouldn't Discord thank or mention Dan for silencing her at the beginning of the story?

Other than that, I'm just loving all of your DanKie Pie chaos.

I considered making an overt reference to Dan (obviously it is him who silenced Pinkie given what's going on with each character), but opted to leave out Discord mentioning him by name if only so readers who haven't read TW&TB weren't confused about what was going on.

If your other story is like addicting drug this one is oxygen! I need it!

4534879 A great, Great, GREAT start to a story. Loved how you delved into Discord's philosophy about chaos and not just a limited mindset. Its what I've often thought on the subject in my RP games.:pinkiehappy:

Hope to see more soon!:twilightsmile:

Hmmm, I have a well established, and excellent idea for commenting upon this piece of literary work! Why, indeed, it shall be a most verbose celebrant of yo-

:yay::pinkiehappy::ajsmug::derpytongue2::raritywink::rainbowlaugh::twilightsmile::moustache:

Or they could just sum up my thoughts. Well without further ado, I LIKE IT!

You know, I do actually have a weird tendency to ship Fluttershy and Uncle Disco (Yes, I am still using it.) Its a weakness of character. I can just imagine what him waggling his eyebrows when he talked about being inside of everything. Filthy old goat.

I left an almost exact replica of myself at the castle. Only the very astute would be able to tell it was nothing more than a construct made of a thin material arranged in a series of tubes kept in constant motion via a magic fan that constantly blew air through it… You know, provided ‘not very astute’ meant blind and willing to accept I did little more than blow air and wackily wave my inflatable tube arms around.

This is the exact inverse of how he tricked Pinkie!:pinkiehappy: But this would probably fool her for a minute too.

Discord is so friends with the King of All Cosmos.

…Or… you know… just make a magic watch with a minute hand, millennium hand, and an eon hand so I could still mess with ponies still….

In the words of Foul Old Ron; "Millennium hand and shrimp!"

Or… you know… just make a magic watch with a minute hand, millennium hand, and an eon hand so I could still mess with ponies still….

He might be a giant...

Does this make Fluttershy "Smaller Pony"?

Also, will Discord get to fight Particle Pony in this story? :-)

Alright, story time, or rather more passive aggressive indignation that you’re only now all coming to me.

Crap, it's like he knows I've been putting off reading this for awhile. I'm sorry, okay?

To be fair, if Discord is self-aware of this story, he must be pretty ticked off at how long it's taken me to get the next chapter out...

this is a great story showing how cool Discord can be.

5360383

Glad you're enjoying it. I'm desperately trying to get chapter three out (it's in the works)... Hopefully we'll see this update soon.

Dang, did the wheel and they butterfly end? Wow, it has only been a good 300 chapters... XD

No it didnt this is a side story

5377366

Nope. Still going plenty strong with that story.

“DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD!”

Im howling at the moon. And sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon.

Yeah, her name is misleading. Yikes, that is kinda scary, how far Amethyst would go. What's her connection to Starswirl? Is Amethyst related to Twilight? So, TOK has come to visit!

5377749 “DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD!”
Are we your prey alone? Or are we just a stepping stone for tanking back the throne.
“DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORD!”
We won't take it anymore, so take your tyranny awaaaaayyy!!

5378939 Ah. Forgot a line, didn't I?

5377803

Oddly enough, she was almost a "he" but then I realized everpony Discord had face to that point was male and that didn't seem to make a ton of sense. When Amethyst's gender got swapped she sort of went from crotchety old man to grumpy combination of Rarity and Twilight. You might notice her color scheme is basically the same as Rarity's.

I kinda humored the idea that she's a common ancestor of the pair.

I see chrismas is comming early this years

5379004 Time to use the power of editing.

5379006 NOO I was finsihing it for you!! We were doing a thing!

Via

5380915 Oh. Uh...Time to use the power of editing!

Nice! Love Discord's voice; you are really wonderful when it comes to 1st person narrators, you know?

Huh, I feel bad for Amethyst! Wonder if Discord might not borrow a page from Makuta's playbook in order to give her a "happy" ending?

And TOK arrive. Well, this is going to be interesting!

5377541 Whoooleeee shiiitttt. So many fuckin' chapters in the wheel and the butterfly. :fluttercry: it is so beutiful!

Even money Amethyst is Starswirl's mother.
