Night Music


Here I am, back at it again, doing absolutely nothing.

T

He's been from the deserts of Saddle Arabia, all the way to the frozen home of the Windigos. He's decided that it's time to settle down, too bad that he chose to live with Ponies.

Diamond Dignity, also known as Damon, a human born to pony parents, has traveled the world and lived with every single race that lived, and still lives on the planet known as Equis. But this is the first time he has ever brought himself to live with ponies.

Seems good so far. I can't wait to read what's going to happen next.

This is a good so far, and I can't wait to read more of it. :pinkiehappy:

oh shit, she broke his arm! D:

it looks like a good story! i'm anxious to the next chapter:twilightsmile:

Great story I can't wait for the next chapter

Moar please this to good.

"Now I just think you are doing that to spite me"

lols

"Who's my little Aphid? That's right you are!"

Reminds me of the perverted female changeling from 'In A Land Down Under'. At least I think it was the name of the story. Wondering if you took the name from that story, or if it was just a coincidence. :pinkiesmile:

"Just under two-hundred?" He gave a small laugh. "It seems the Apple family is still here, or else I wouldn't have been recommended to buy from them," he said thinking of his last encounter with the Apples.

I wonder if this already counts as Alternate Universe, since Ponyville was founded by Granny Smith's parents, which doesn't lay that much back, but I'm probably interpreting too much into it. :twilightsheepish:

"Ah, Miss Smith, there was a fine mare If I do say so myself," Diamond said with a dumb smile on his face.

Fluttershy, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity, all of which were drinking. Choked on the tea. Blushing red at the thought of the pony they knew as Granny Smith in that sort of light.

Yep, Granny Smith was young once too! Shocking revelation! :rainbowlaugh:

"Yes yes, I know you're hungry, give me a moment please. My magic doesn't work that fast. While we're here, say it. Say dada," Diamond said, babying the last part.

"Mama," Was all Aphid replied.

"Now I just think you are doing that to spite me," he pouted.

That's just awwdorable! :rainbowkiss:

This is freaking AWESOMLY ADORABLE!!! 9001 :yay: Its over 9000 :derpytongue2:

6925261 Nice Dragon Ball Z reference

Oh boy, didn't he say Aphid's mother was going to show up some time? If that means who I think it does everything is gonna go to Tartarus pretty quickly if she gets revealed.

So, is he going to learn the magic of friendship while in Ponyville? It seems he kind of needs it, and I get the feeling he might have some resentment of Ponies from his first parents.

The whole exchange where he was going to explain the Alicorn magic went kind of oddly. He said he will explain, tells Twilight no notes, then RD and AJ add a comment, and then he kicks everyone but Discord out without explaining anything. He was just really bluntly evading the explanation and he didn't want to deal with them anymore.

Nice to see the Chrissiemom confirmed. I'm already interested to read how this turns out! :pinkiesmile:

A new chapter? AWESOME! And it get's interesting. I reallyl ook forward to the interaction between Damond and Celestia^^

Its Alive!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to the next chapter.

This last chapter was a bit disjointed and hard to read. I liked the other chapters, though. I'm curious to see where this is going. Hopefully we won't have to wait too long :raritywink:

7840632 Glad you enjoyed the others at least. Chapter Five was weird for me mainly because I wanted to give backstory, but I didn't really want to base an entire chapter off of a small encounter. I had originally intended for this and maybe chapter six to be excerpts from one of his journals. But I decided against that. Maybe a future chapter. Sorry for the long reply. :twilightsheepish:

This was a very confusing chapter to read. As another reviewer mentioned, it feels disjointed. I can imagine there being a way for you to weave past and present stories together in one continuous prose, but there is no logic in this chapter to explain why the scene breaks and the scenes themselves were inserted where they were. I imagine the Ponyville activities as being the 'present', so that would make the other segments background. If you insert background info, you should make sure it is actually relevant to the current plot. If not, I think it should be moved to a seperate chapter.

7842314 I was actually planning on doing just that, but this story isn't the one I'm currently working on. Once I come back to it though, that's when it gets my full attention, but until then, it'll be something to do in the spare time.

EDIT: Putting it into separate chapters that is. And thank you for the feedback, it's always nice.

Not a single Roy: A Life Well Lived joke here? Surprising.

I have nothing useful to say.

7842341 Sorry, wasn't really thinking of Rick and Morty when I made this.

7842348 i mean in the comments.

Heal Chrysalis then sell her soul?
This chapter is strange....

I thought Applejack's grandmother founded ponyville as a child with her parents. I can't remember for sure, but I think it was in the episode with the jam and applebloom bringing her granny to school.

7928290 Yeah, I'm a little lost in this aswell...

7928311 She did, Diamond just happened to be passing through some years later.

"I want that Changeling's soul."

Can't really sell something he doesn't have.

A life long lived vs a well lived life. Hmm...

Really interesting start, nice work. :twilightsmile:

Chapter 5 was rewritten, mostly. (...) Made a blog post a while back stating that but I should have considered that most people don't read those. (...) But yeah, Chapter 5 and Chapter ? used to be one chapter (...)

First off, I am one of those people who mostly ignore blog posts. I just look for the "posted new chapter" messages in my feed.

This sort of story disconnect issue has happened before with other stories I've read, but not to this degree.
I think part of the issue has to do with how the individual author handles the posting of the rewritten chapter.
Some make a blog post.
Some post an author's note at the top of the newest chapter stating "a Chapter X rewrite was posted on X-date you should probably read that version if you haven't already."
Some revise the chapter title by adding "Reworked/rewritten on X-date."
My personal preference for how I like seeing it handled is a removal and fresh upload that hits the feed box with a "posted a new chapter" message. When a chapter is reworked in such a way that it fundamentally affects how the story has progressed I just think it's better to delete and re-upload so there's no mistaking that the chapter is "new."

But cries of "what the heck is happening?" are gonna happen almost no matter what you do to some degree. Some people are going to read the newest chapter without having read the rewritten ones and :rainbowhuh:confused:rainbowhuh: comments ensue.

I can't really think of anything to say besides 'thank you'. All just a learning experience, you know?

Oh, you removed a chapter. I was confused 'cause it said you responded to a comment of mine, but it didn't show up when I followed the link. Probably for the best.

Can you rename chapters after the fact? I agree with the other reviewer that taking down old chapters and reuploading them is possibly the way to go, but then you lose all the old comments. That doesn't hurt for your last upload (as literally every comment was some variation of 'Huh?'), but I'm guessing you don't want to lose them for the older chapters.

I just think that if you're going to fix one chapter, you might as well do it for the whole story. Step back from the current structure, isolate all of the individual scenes, rearrange your scenes into the most logical order possible (make it clear which scenes are the 'present', 'past', and 'future' - arranged in a way that makes sense), then recreate the chapters from the new story order. Just my opinion.

This story has potential! I hope it will be realized, and I wish you luck in doing so.:twilightsmile:

this don't make no sense this chapter.

I don't understand this chapter's end.

Interesting story, would like to see it continued, kinda curious about what will happen after the cliffhanger.
