A diary is a place for you to store your inner thoughts without fear of being mocked or scorned. It can be very important, especially in one's formative years.

This is Diamond Tiara's diary, showing her inner thoughts over what would turn out to be the most important year of her life.

Thanks for reading and giving me a chance, boss. I appreciate it.

Hell yeahhh!!! This is so sweet, and I didn't even tear up reading the end. I didn't just trust me.

I wrote an entry of my own, both with you entering, my odds of placing well have decreased significantly. :unsuresweetie:

Nice job, by the way. I still wish you the best of luck. :scootangel:

Oh, don't think like that, mate. I haven't read yours (with contests, I wait until after judging to look at my competitors to avoid psychicing myself out), but I'm sure you're a contender. Between you and me, I don't really think this is all that great. I'm quite nervous about it, honestly.

Thanks for reading, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

This was remarkably touching! I needed something like this with the days I've been having, so nice work!

Not bad. One thing:

Applebloom read the last entry over and over, not entirely processing what Diamond’s words meant. It took three readings in order for Applebloom to realize that the last line was a request.

That must have taken a while.
Especially if we consider she's dyslexic.:rainbowlaugh:
I bet Tiara wasn't happy to stay on her knee all that time...
Yes, I'm a horrible person.

Diamond Tsundiara is best Diamond!

This was a very good story, effective use of the diary format, good characterization and emotion.

Cheerilee does assigned seats, and she at me next to

"Sat," I think. And that was pretty much the only typo I saw.

Thanks for experiencing this with me. It means a lot.

There's a joke here about DT being used to kneeling for extended periods, but this story is too wholesome for me to find a punchline.

Thanks for reading

Sonuvabitch, it's always something, isn't it? Thanks for catching that. I'd be annoyed if I didn't see that until after the contest deadline.

Thanks for reading

I bet her mom didn't like it.

Was surprised by the ending, didn't see it coming at all. Worked really well with the diary format. And loved the details, like the friendship bracelets.

Diamond is so adorable in this :heart:

There was no real way to organically mention this, but Spoiled Rich is kind of a non-issue. At some point, she split from Filthy Rich, and Diamond doesn't really talk to her much these days. I sort of alluded to it near the end there.

Trying to appease people who don’t matter. Not just my classmates, either.

Yeah, she's referring to her mom here. That said, in my head, Spoiled did go to the wedding, even if she was kind of bitchy the whole time. She did get them some nice wedding gifts, some expensive silverware and champagne and stuff, which is kinda her way of showing that she cares for DT despite the two butting heads. (none of this is really "canon", but this is how I imagine it)

Thanks for reading!

Glad you liked it. It was beyond stressful for me to write, so I'm glad people are liking it. I was afraid the diary format would come off as tacky, but people seem to be okay with it, which is a weight off of my shoulders.

Thanks for reading!

Hm. Decent. Have a thumb.

8454559
Meh. I'll take it.

Thanks for reading

Oh my God... like, wow.

I'm dead serious here, I have a lump in my throat, and I'm about to cry. This was beautiful. Nothing else to say.

I'm keeping this story. Your's definitely took me THERE...

8454604
I'm happy to hear that. Thank you for allowing me to share this experience with you.

That was really sweet and WAFFy. I like it.

8454674
Glad you enjoyed!

We already know it's DiamondBloom shipping, so adding an Apple Bloom tag won't exactly be a spoiler.

8454837
I didn't omit Applebloom's tag for fear of spoilers. I omitted it because she's barely in the story. Even though it's a DiamondBloom shipfic, it's a Diamond Tiara story before anything else, and I feel like putting AB in the tags would be misleading. Hope you understand.

8454429
No big, glad I could help. And good luck in the contest!

This is now my new favorite ship.
I think part of it I spent a lot of time hating Diamond Tiara. Now that you realize she is a decent person/pony and her mother is basically the problem, I think it makes stories like this enjoyable because they fit the character.

8454903
I always hated Diamond Tiara, but in a good way. You were supposed to hate her, and it was very easy to do so. She was awful as a pony, but incredible as a character. And they redeemed her, which is fine, but I really do miss DT just being a little shit to everyone.

8454911
Honestly I want to see where she has progressed. They did that one episode with her and the crusaders and then nothing. I would love to see her and Silver Spoon again with some sort of team up with the Crusaders. Just to see how she is doing. I don't know, may be they have enough of bad girls gone good with Starlight Glimmer and Sunset Shimmer (who are both awesome).

Not bad, i like it... but if your doing a dairy entry story, it really helps to date them... so we have an idea of the passage of time without having to revile on the 'writer' of the dairy to say so.

8456036
Originally, I planned to date it, but, for some reason, I couldn't decide what year would be appropriate. I know that sounds silly, but nothing I tried looked right or made sense. At the end of the day, I didn't think the date much mattered anyway, so I left it out. Hope it didn't detract from the story too much.

Awww, this was cute! I think I especially loved the little bits where Diamond is being her typical, snarky self ("I'm so mad I could scream/I screamed and now I'm grounded for being uncouth"), and I really liked the addition of Applebloom's dyslexia. All-in-all, I'd say the story was well paced, beautifully developed, and super in-character--good luck for the contest!

8456509
Thanks, love. I need all the luck I can get!

8456179
You still could have dated it with out the year... the older the pages would indicate years. But at the same times, your right, it does really matter.

I liked this

I actually liked this a bunch. It was cute, well paced and nicely done. Have a fave~

Reading this story after the contest gave me two important questions:

1.) How are you able to make me cry this much at a dramatic proposal scene?
2.) How did this not win 1st?

*remembers who won 1st in this contest*

BONUS QUESTION: Seriously, how the heck did I manage to beat you, amazing author?!

Really enjoyed this story, especially that POV change at the end and how you showed the dynamics of apple bloom and diamond tiaras relationship in bits and pieces. 4\5, Well done.

You son of a gun. It's not good enough that you made one of the best stories I've read on here, and the best diamond/bloom, then you just had to add that ending. "P.s. turn around." You a-hole. Have your like and fav, like you left me any choice.

I really liked this a lot. It feels very in character for DT (which is pretty important given it's a diary fic), like a slower burn version of her transformation in canon. I could easily see it being the way the EqG Diamond becomes friends with the Crusaders. And that's not even talking about how masterfully you pulled off the warm fuzzy feelings. Good job!

You made me tear up pretty well there at the end and multiple Daaawws were uttered.

I hate chocolate cake!

Totally agree with you there, Diamond!

I'm kind of surprised you ended it with a proposal and not their wedding
