As he sat upon that throne and laughed, there was time to think about what came before his anarchic reign.

Alright, this was actually pretty good!
I really enjoyed Discord´s inner monologue; I can definetly picture Discord thinking this way. He´s cruel, condescending and arrogant, but he still retains enough humanity for us to take pity on him. I also like how disjointed the text is while still remaining coherent enough for the reader to follow. Perhaps it was a mistake and not intentional, but either way I enjoyed it.
I also like how little exposition there is, or, more appropriately, how superficial it is. We just learn the basics and that´s really what you need to know.
Also, I loved the ending. Those last lines held a palpable weight; they did leave an impact on me.
So, all in all, I think this fanfic is quite good! Not great, excellent or outstanding, but it was an interesting read. For a mere experiment in writing Discord, I consider you succeeded.

Thank you, if you want to learn more about Discord, he does appear in my a few of other stories. I'm glad you enjoyed this so much!

I have a weekend ahead of me; maybe I´ll give them a read.
7231323 HAA haa Haaa HAAA haaa haa, haa harrr harr.. Humanity.......
My dear, that is a stupendous joke right if there ever was one contained in a single word...... ^^

I can´t tell if you´re being sarcastic or not...
7235028 Neither really.... or maybe both since using the word on a non human being is kind of interesting but understandable since it's still fiction and your are just writing about it and I was more trying to be in the spirit of Discord when replying which is why I added a "Dear".....^^
As well as ever since I can remember I have found certain words to be just humorous in a...... well, a kind of retarded way because the words are kind of asinine. But since you seem to desire some clarification here it is.
One is for example that will shed some light with context on the whole is the word "Inhumane", which I find to be a somewhat retarded word since it's practically only describes what we HUMANS do and not what we have observed in other species and is very rare in human behaviour, ergo it's actually all just very humane behaviour in reality. And that which we find humane to describe are actually behaviours we find in most species in one way or another, at least those with higher cognitive function.
I know the etymology and the historical context but as time passes and knowledge is gained so does language in many areas except when it seems to come to our ego where words like "Humanity" or as it's used while not applying it to someone or something "Humane" is just putting very select behaviours that are more desired than the absolute norm.
It's understandable that certain words have existed and why they came to be and having a word that tries to easily shame people away from certain behaviour by basically calling them less of a human is a easy trick while vice versa for doing something that would be deemed positive to the social group and/or society. But that is the past which well..... in the past.
Which is why I find the word to be a joke in of itself by trying to pedestalize compassion for example as some human nowadays.
Let's be honest and say that dogs are WAAAAAAAAYYYY more compassionate than humans are so I will from now on call it Dognanity......^^
Decent.
This is fascinating. I like how you show Discord's thoughts. He knows he's in the wrong but he also sees how the the ponies he called friends became better and worse. Celestia basking in praise after raising her sister all by her lonesome. And her shadow of a sister that was left behind.

Thank you! It’s really hard to get Discord right, and he still remains one of the characters I have a harder time writing. Hearing an early, simpler work like this was good is always nice.
Your Discord stories are such a treat. You capture that inner voice of his well, understanding that his love of chaos is about more than just cotton-candy clouds and other silly shenanigans. The backstory you have for Celly and Luna in your universe ties well in with Discord's characterization; there's so much regret and sorrow dripping here beneath his snark and disdain. As a fellow piece of DisLestia (especially before-Nightmare-Moon-DisLestia) shipping trash, your works in this vein are always great reads.

His voice is actually one of the hardest, and I always am worried that I don't write him well enough. It's why I wrote so little about him for the longest time, only bothering to do so when necessary. If you read more into the longer stories, you might find comments/hints that I was worried about him and Sombra coming across as too similar at times. Though, admittedly Sombra has a more fleshed-out character but they show some surface similarities I didn't want to cross. Or, at least it wasn't that way to me. I don't like giving characters same-y stuff, be it personalities or relationship dynamics.
